Summer ISSUE

Mmm... my favourite time of the year! I don’t think it’s just because I’m Indian, but the cold really is kryptonite to me. Nothing makes me happier than summer heat and a sea breeze - so fingers and toes crossed we’ll have a great one this year.

Now that the local elections are done and dusted, we have contact details for all your new ward councillors.

Congratulations to all those who were re-elected or newly elected (see page 104-105).

June heralds a season full of activity and events! Throughout this edition and our What’s On Guide you’ll see such a choice, so be sure to clear your diaries for one of the best summers in Felixstowe to date!

Whether you’re enjoying this season on home soil or taking a holiday to some exotic land, I wish you all a lovely, relaxing and rejuvenating summer!

Art on the Prom

‘‘

A tribute to Suffolk poet, Edward FitzGerald, born at Bredfield House in Bredfield.

Our Suffolk Bard, of Bredfield bred While residing at Woodbridge once famously said “Taste is the feminine of Genius” now there’s a true quote For where Beauty blossoms - there our souls take note!

Dancing down the Deben and out to sea - fine yacht or plain boat, bread, cheese and beer in Ferry Inn keeping all afloat Aye, many a time Felixstowe entered his eye – where Captain Newson lived and his family still die.

But, in the death of each wave another is born So gossip the pebbles of early dawn - so echoes our town in the famed Art on the Prom – where we marvel and mingle As the sea slaps down all the pebbles to shingle...

Mid’st seagulls swooping, squawking, laughing with glee, cos, AP not APP is of course, short for Appy Yo, Felix means Happy, shorely... now you can sea?

Good, for as David Hockney, Dostoevsky et al say “Beauty will save the world” so whether walking, wheeling, stomping or skipping - sweet pounding the Prom... Of the Three Graces - tuition... intuition... fruition whoever you are and wherever you’re from Welcome good friend - have a nice day!

by Charles Mugleston

Letter to the Editor “Of late, I’ve seen and read about more and more projects to help Felixstowe as a town and as a community.

As a resident, it gives me so much reassurance and inspiration to see local people helping and pulling together to make the town even better than it already is. I adore that about Felixstowe.

I feel we are so lucky to live in this beautiful town and to live amongst such fantastic local people.”

Felixstowe Town and Around A word from the local council by councillor, Doreen Savage A chilly, dull Bank Holiday Monday in May and the heating is on! What a contrast to the fabulous weather we enjoyed at Easter and my thinking is, it can only get better!

It’s been a busy weekend for Felixstowe with the Historic Vehicles Rally – always a big draw and today the Rotary Fun Run. At least the temperature was about right for the runners. I hope a lot of money has been raised for the various charities involved.

So, what has been happening since last I wrote? First and foremost the local elections! In all the time I have been fighting elections I cannot remember one that has evoked so much angst and bad feeling. Everyone who canvassed was met with the dreaded “B” word – Brexit – I would not cry if I never ever heard that word again – and despite trying to point out that the elections were for local councillors – the electorate are so angry that having someone standing on the doorstep gave them the opportunity to vent their frustration. The results across the country reflected that anger with so many good councillors losing their seats. However, for Felixstowe Town Council the electorate returned 12 Conservatives, 3 Labour and 1 Liberal Democrat Councillors. I was amongst those who were successful for which I am duly grateful and can continue my representation of Felixstowe residents in that capacity. So starts another 4 year term with I hope many more improvements for the Town.

One of the first would be to know what the future of the M & S building might 6

The Felixstowe Magazine - SUMMER 2019

be. Rumours are rife – and they are only that – rumours. Nothing definitive has yet emerged as to what might take the place of M & S. It is so sad to see that building all shuttered and dark after the many years it was a focal point of the Town. I just hope all the devoted staff who were there have managed to find alternative jobs or are doing something else that they want to do. We are all missing cutting through there to access Hamilton Road – and use of the alleyway behind Highfield Road houses will escalate. The hope must be that a worthwhile business will take over from M & S and provide a much needed boost for the town centre.

The town council planning committee had the latest set of plans for Wetherspoons before it in May. This was about the 5th lot of plans we had seen and can you imagine the disappointment when it transpired that instead of a new design – the plans were practically a replica of the first ones we saw – and were totally devoid of any of the suggested improvements that had been made about turning the whole building round so that it faced Great eastern Square – and had gone back to facing Hamilton Road! These plans also evoked a raft of legitimate objections from the residents on High Road West – so the decision was to refuse the application. Of course the plans have to go before the District planning committee which is the decision making body – the Town Council being a consultee – but, hopefully, the comments made by the Town Council will be taken into account in reaching any decision. Delivery of this project is long overdue but it must be the right design.

The celebration of Suffolk Day is now an established one on the civic calendar – and this year Felixstowe has been selected as the place to launch that event which is on the 21st June. The Mayor has been invited

by Radio Suffolk to host the launch which will involve a live broadcast from the Seafront Town Hall Gardens at 7am. with a welcome from the Mayor and a proclamation being read out on the Town Hall steps at 9.30 followed by the raising of the St. Edmunds flag in the gardens. The town councillors will then host a tea party outside the Town Hall in the afternoon from 2-4pm – a repeat of that which we held last year – where any member of the public can stop and have a cup of tea/coffee/cold drink together with a cake courtesy of the Town Council. Last year was a great success and I was making drinks and used over 150 teabags – so you can guess how busy we were.

The following day on the 22nd June the launch of this year’s Felixstowe in Flower event will be held on the Triangle. This is becoming another great event – with stalls, competitions and music to kick off another great Felixstowe tradition. The Town looked beautiful with all the floral displays last year – and I know it will be the same this year. I do urge anyone with a love of gardening to enter their front gardens into the competition to choose the best small/ large front garden which is held every year and is judged by a panel of independent judges in July. Hopefully, the weather will have improved by then! Whilst on the topic of gardening – the Saturday group of the Friends of the Seafront Gardens started

their monthly sessions in April – but chose the day when we were experiencing the backlash of the latest storm and we found ourselves working in the teeth of a fierce wind and very chilly temperature – so after an hour – we called it a day. It wasn’t pleasant – but hopefully our following sessions will be in much better conditions.

More good news was the announcement that a bid to the Coastal Communities Fund by the District council had been successful and a grant of £950K had been made to improve the area of the seafront from the Pier down to Martello Park. The scheme the District has planned will cost £1.72m with the balance coming from the District. There is a 3 phase plan for the work which will include shelters, café/restaurant/a box park off the seafront – this is a concept of using container-like structures to create a business environment.

I have seen some pictures of ones already in existence and the concept is exciting and attractive. This stretch of the seafront is long overdue for investment – although upgrading the shelters was a start last year – but with the Spa Gardens now a massive attraction along with Martello Park at Manor End, the area in between needs upgrading.

Well that seems to be it for now. I hope some of the information above has been of interest and I will be back for the next edition later in the year.

The role allows a fascinating insight to the life of the town and an opportunity to discover the vast array of community groups we have and the huge range of activities they provide for residents. It was wonderful to see so many come together at the Annual Town Meeting as we honoured just some of those who give so much to our community.”

CREATING PROSPERITY IN THE HEART OF THE COMMUNITY

Basic Life Charity A regular update from a brilliant local charity, providing financial, practical and general support Whether you’re a resident or visitor to Felixstowe during this summer, we think you’re in the right place at the right time!

Felixstowe is simply the nicest place to be, with the friendly locals, the magnificent seaside walks and the treasure trove of delights to be found in and around our busy town.

The BASIC Life Charity work hard to ensure that those on the edges of our society feel involved and needed.

Earlier this year we started our two community allotments – one at Cow Pastures and the other in Trimley St.Mary.

We’re pleased to say that lots of people have joined in with the fun and they are open to all.

So if you don’t have a garden, don’t fancy taking on a whole plot yourself and prefer to dip in and out, or if you have no interest in gardening at all and don’t know your broccoli from your spinach, but would just like to meet new friends, please come along!

In May we were delighted to attend the Mayor’s presentation night at Felixstowe Academy.

As one of the two Mayor’s charities for the past year we were overwhelmed with the generosity of local people when we were presented with a cheque for £3500.00, as proceeds from the events that were held over the year.

Thank you to all involved and particularly to out-going Mayor Graham Newman together with Lorna and all the staff at the council.

Our Pop-Up shop model is now being duplicated up and down the country and we’re hoping that more churches, organisations and groups will catch the vision.

There’s now enough food to feed everybody – it’s simply a matter of redistribution!

We have a lot of new projects lined up for the next few months so it’s, as usual, an exciting time for us.

If you’d like to join in or know more about any of our projects please email us at basiclife@live.co.uk.

Have a wonderful summer!

Trimley (Cranfield)Bowls Speaking with Paul Hazelwood, Honorary Greenkeeper The bench stands just inside the workshop door, its surface marred with scratches and dried oil patches. It is littered with bits of machinery, some hand tools and a few dogeared, grease-smudged instruction manuals.

“It’s taken me over thirty years to get that bench looking that good,” jokes Paul with a smile that starts with his eyes. Paul Hazelwood is 84 years young, lean and weathered and every bit as leathery as the scuffed brown jacket that is his habitual garb. Seeing him standing there in the doorway of his workshop with the backdrop of mowers, fertilizers, scarifiers, weed killers, aerators and tools, it is obvious that he is in his element. I ask him if there is any truth in the rumour that he sometimes actually goes home to his house in Walton, and he laughs.

“I do spend a good few hours at this club,” he admits, “I am here most days.”

We walk the few paces to the immaculate 8-rink bowling green that he has tended for over three and a half decades and which is widely regarded as one of the finest in the county. “There were only three rinks being 12

The Felixstowe Magazine - SUMMER 2019

used and the grass almost hid your bowls when I first came here.” he says. “Through the years a lot of good folk have put in a lot of hard work and effort to make this club what it is today.” He points to the modern sixty-foot clubhouse. “Back in the day, that’s where our old wooden shed used to be. Now, in the winter when most bowls clubs close until the start of the next season, we play short mat bowls. That’s great fun.

And we hold quiz nights, bingo, beetle drives. It gets well used, that’s for sure.”

“The maximum number of members is 160 and sometimes we have a waiting list but we are a dozen or so below that at this moment in time,” he says. “We have 10 on the committee and if you cut anyone of them in half you would see Trimley (Cranfield) Bowls Club running through them. Every one of them, and a good few members too, work their socks off for this club.” A strong committee then, but where does the name Cranfield come from? “The land was donated by Lady Cranfield back in the 50’s so it’s only right that we honour that gift,” replies Paul.

Trimley (Cranfield) Bowls really is a welcoming and friendly club and if you are tempted to try bowling, call Terry Piner on 01394 278281 for a chat. There is no better club to get you started and to make new friends.

Seed Cycling for

Hormonal Balance & Fertility

Help to reduce symptoms associated with a hormonal imbalance Seed cycling is a gentle way to help reduce symptoms associated with high oestrogen and low progesterone levels such as PMT, ovarian cysts, clotting, endometriosis, breast sensitivity, irregular cycles and PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome).

It focuses on increasing levels of oestrogen in the first phase of your cycle where oestrogen is required and boosts levels of progesterone in phase two of your cycle.

The principles are as follows: Phase 1: Day 1 of period to day 15 of cycle (ovulation) Eat daily: 1 tbsp of ground flax seeds + 1 tbsp pumpkin seeds – with additional fish/krill oil during this phase to provide additional omega 3.

Phase 2: Day 15 (ovulation) to day 28: Oestrogen needs to be kept in balance in phase 2 by increasing levels of progesterone. Eat daily: 1 tbsp ground sesame seeds + 1 tbsp ground (or whole) sunflower seeds. Evening primrose oil is recommended in this phase (to reduce inflammation and increase progesterone).

Additional points: - Ideally buy whole seeds then grind just before consuming.

- Don’t eat the ‘wrong’ seeds out of phase, ie no flax or pumpkin in phase 2.

- Sprinkle on muesli/porridge, smoothies, salads, soups etc.

- Do not heat or cook the seeds - A tablespoon of ground seeds is not the same as 1 tablespoon of whole seeds.

- Consult your GP for potential interactions of fish/krill oil with your health condition and/or medication.

As with many ‘natural’ alternatives, it can take 3-4 cycles to get the results you want, so be patient.

Felixstowe Trail – ‘Earth, Fire and Light’ 8th/9th June and 22nd/23rd June (Verena, Mary and Naomi will also be open on 15th/16th June) Using nature’s elemental forces, these four Felixstowe artists create a visual delight of varied artwork. You will be able to explore the following art forms: 1. Raku fired ceramic sculptures, 2. Fused glass art inspired by the Suffolk landscape, 3. Pine needle weaving on ceramics, seed pods and more, 4. Stained glass art with a difference.

Do ask the artists about their techniques as they will be happy to chat about their work and inspiration.

On the Felixstowe trail you will find plenty of places for a bite to eat, the odd fresh fish shop or two and even a boat trip on the River Deben to complete your day. www.suffolkopenstudios.org

The Artists Verena Daniels Fused Glass I work with glass that I fuse together in a kiln. I combine plain and coloured glass together with glass frits and powder to create a scene or a 3D piece. I live in Felixstowe and I see the changing moods of both the sea and countryside. I also love the industrial feel of Felixstowe Docks and find the cranes and enormous container ships to be almost sculptural shapes. I run a variety of Fused Glass courses throughout the year. Commissions can also be undertaken.

Reunion Studio 36 Gainsborough Road IP11 7HR Mary Wyatt Raku Fired Ceramics My sculptures explore shape and balance.

The sculptures are hand-built and capture human figures, animals and birds suspended in movement. I am currently experimenting with raku glaze firing. marywyatt.co.uk FB: @marywyattart 4 Tower Road, IP11 7PR

Naomi Brangwyn Stained Glass Art I cut glass, put it back together again and then break the rules of stained glass. Combining glass disciplines, adding metals and found objects, layering and leaving gaps.

Jools Holland Comes to Fe Honoured to have such a legendary contemporary musician in town! Here’s a little more from the man himself!

So Jools, you have another packed schedule coming up. It never stops, does it?

There’s an old expression that says if you want to get something done, give it to somebody busy to do it. I’ve always seemed to stay busy even when I mean to not be busy. But I’m very lucky, because I enjoy what I do. The highlight is being on the stage, and hearing different people in my orchestra, hearing the guests, being able to try and figure out the mystery that is playing the piano each day, and sometimes you feel as though you get a bit better, and sometimes you feel as if... for every five steps forward, you take four back, and you keep going on like that. So it’s a lovely enigma to plug into all the time, really, the whole act of touring, and the whole act of playing.

There are some eye-catching outdoor shows in the itinerary.

I think the atmosphere of playing outside is just great. I think it’s probably one of the ancient things in the human psyche, actually, having music and dancing outside in the summer, inevitably, must leads to feelings of well-being and maybe even amorous feelings. One of the places we do is Hampton Court, and Hampton Court Palace, which is a royal palace, and the atmosphere there is electric, it’s extraordinary because you play; or the show is set, in one of the courtyards that Henry VIII would have strutted around and bellowed at people from, no doubt, surrounded by the corridors where Anne Boleyn ran screaming once she realised what was going to happen.

16

The Felixstowe Magazine - SUMMER 2019

It’s got quite a gloomy history, but the building is sensational.

One time we played there and the audience faced us in this tiered seating and there was a sort of gate tower that looks inwards towards the part where we play. And at the top of this brick, Tudor gate tower, there was a small mullioned window with lead work that you can see through, diamond leadwork. And throughout the show there was this person dancing away, I thought that was really great, that even the security person was having a bit of a dance at the window. So when we came off and finished, I said to somebody in the band, ‘Did you see that person?’ and they said ‘Yeah, wasn’t it great, that person dancing at the window?’ We said this to [them], and the security people there are all royal policemen type of thing, and they said, ‘But there’s nobody up there. That’s completely sealed off, there’s no way there’s anybody up there.” But we all saw somebody up there.

They say it’s the most haunted building in England. We certainly had the ghost of boogie-woogie dance there.

The set-up of the orchestra harks back to the days of the great bandleaders.

We’ve got a whole big band, which is unusual, it’s not just like a horn section, it’s a whole five saxophones, three trombones, three trumpets, organ, singers and all of that. Drums, guitar, bass, led by the piano.

And that is the same configuration that people like Count Basie or Duke Ellington would have had. So it’s a big configuration.

You often add “new” old songs to the set, don’t you?

Our set is...you know, Kew Gardens, another place, they have a Japanese temple, and I think some of these ancient Japanese temples are supposed to be 600 years old. It’s like a 600-year-old broom

elixstowe — you know the handle’s 150 years old, then the brush was 600 years old, but we changed that the other day. So although everything on it might be replaced, the actual carcass is ancient. So all the time we’re edging new pieces of music in, because that keeps us alive and it keeps the band excited.

Also, of course, it’s a great way of showing off the soloists in the band, and we’ve got Michael ‘Bami’ Rose, who’s one of the great original ska players from Jamaica, so it’s a great vehicle to let him rip out on it.

Where does the idea for an addition like that come from, is it you always looking for ideas?

Yes, I’m always searching at the songface, and particularly, some of it is kind of rare, because I’m going through stuff for either films, or they’re on YouTube or records. So I listened to all the Skatalites things, I kept coming across that one and thinking every time I heard it, I thought that’s great, so if we did it, it would sound great. But they’re all really, it’s like the music that I write that we do, it’s got to fit the orchestra, and if it feels right. If I love it, then I hope other people will love it. If I didn’t love it, I don’t think you could get somebody else to love it.

There’s another one of that type, finding an old one, that we did: there was this great bandleader called Lucky Millinder, who people don’t really know of now, but he was in the ‘40s and he used to have Sister Rosetta Tharpe with him, and they were really early boogieists, because they would do a boogie in the ‘40s before it became rock ‘n’ roll. There’s one that he did called ‘Let It Roll,’ and I’d seen it, it exists on film somewhere, there’s him doing it on a film with this female singer. But I realised it wasn’t on record anywhere. It’s only on the film. There is a version of it on a record

but it’s not the same as the film, so we all had to...I think I had to put my phone up to the television, to record it off the television and then play it to the band so we could all learn it. Yes, I’m giving you all the behind the scenes stuff here, the trade secrets.

We’re like monks going through ancient manuscripts to bring out the greatest thing to the people, and hopefully that works.

But also that informs and inspires what we do ourselves, so when we play our own music, which is a lot of my own things that I’ve written, from my own catalogue, then you’ve listened to how the people did it, in the ‘40s or before, and you can transmit your music in the same way.

How do you go about adapting the guests’ big hits for a big band?

I wouldn’t want to force things into a big band style for things that weren’t going to The Felixstowe Magazine - SUMMER 2019

work, so sometimes you have to play things in a different way. Most things you can take back to the piano, because I suppose 70 per cent of songs — I’m making up figures, there, everybody does it these days — anyway, a lot of songs were written on the piano, or the keyboard. Or just on a guitar, one instrument, so they’re not written with a big arrangement. So if you strip it back to that and then build it up again, you can normally make something work. If there’s something that sounds like it’s not naturally going to go with a big band, but anyway when you bring it down to just the piano, it tends to work, and the big band can creep in.

If push comes to shove, could you name your favourite live moment you’ve ever been involved with?

Well, I think, curiously enough, sometimes on the ‘Hootenanny’ we get great moments, because it’s live performance - all the people in the room, we’re playing live.

There comes a point halfway through the show, roughly, everybody gets up and starts maybe having a boogie, and you feel the whole room taking off. There’s something in that, but it would be hard to pin down one particular one. I think Glastonbury, we played the main stage at Glastonbury a couple of years ago, and that was great, the rain held off and we got everybody singing along to ‘Enjoy Yourself,’ and that felt really great. Ideally, you want to be at one with the audience, it’s not like us here on the stage and you down there listening to us. You want it to be just ‘us’ altogether, becoming as one. When all the people are singing and clapping in time to ‘Enjoy Yourself,’ that’s great. When we were doing it at Glastonbury, and you’ve got whatever it is, 100,000 people all singing it in unison, that feels nice. I hope that doesn’t sound like I’m too much of a football yob [laughs].

In your case, your nan’s piano was crucial to your musical upbringing, wasn’t it?

Yes, my nan’s piano was really an essential thing because it was in her front room, as people had in the 1930s. It was a gift to her by her mother Britannia in 1937, and I would hear them at Christmas, when I was very small, all singing songs. Everybody 18

The Felixstowe Magazine - SUMMER 2019

had their own song that they’d sing at the piano, and it was also a pianola, so you would pedal the pedals and you would hear, and a piano roll would go round, Fats Waller playing ‘Red Sails In The Sunset’ would come out of it, which was great, so I got to learn those songs early on. But also, it was great because my uncle, who was a young teenager when I was small, would play boogie-woogie piano on it, and from that, that really got me going and fired up and made me learn by ear what he was doing, and learn the blues from day one. And I did discover since, that what he showed me, the left hand that he showed me, was the same left hand, because I met and talked to people about this that Ray Charles was shown by an old man in his village, that Ringo Starr, strangely, learned, that I think Mark Knopfler knows it as well.

All these people, the first bit of piano they learned, and Dr. John, very strange, they were all drawn to this one little riff. So when people say ‘Show me something on the piano,’ I show them that. It hasn’t worked so far producing the next Ray Charles, but you never know. But it was all the same little boogie-woogie left hand, the same one, the same little figure, a little sort of ‘baabaa...’ [sings].

Did you have records in the house at home?

We couldn’t afford a piano, but we had a record player, and a radio, and my parents liked classical music and jazz music, and so I would hear a lot of that, and I think it opened my mind to a lot of that, so I still like it very much. I say jazz music, like Bessie Smith or Jelly Roll Morton, things like that.

Then at my grandmother’s house, there was a record player as well, so I would get records and then play them to death. The first record player I had was a 78 record player, with a great big wind-up needle, which is the worst thing even to play 78s on, the one with the big metal needle. I had a Beach Boys record and I worked out that if I slowed it right down, the Beach Boys sounded vaguely alright, for about five times, then the big metal needle took everything off the vinyl face off the record, so that was the end of that. But eventually, my dad got me an Alba record player, and

we could have a good listen to whatever records were out at the time. I think I had a Glenn Miller one, which got worn out, but the first proper LP I had was ‘For Once In My Life’ by Stevie Wonder, I liked that, and I think I had ‘Lady Madonna,’ the single,

by The Beatles, because I tried to learn the piano part on it.

‘Lady Madonna’ as inspired, and later covered, by Fats Domino, of course.

Fats was a really great artist. I’m going through a box set of his at the moment, and it’s often the little things that nobody knew were hits, which they could have been hits if they’d put them out. We’re doing one now called ‘You Done Me Wrong,’ and he wrote them all, and the band sound so great, they sound so particular, New Orleans band. But he’s just great, Fats, because he was very open-minded about music, he just played his music, and he used to say, something I heard him saying once, he said ‘I play the fast blues music,’ which was like the rock ‘n’ roll, he said ‘And I play the old songs, and the old pop songs,’ but he was talking about like 1930s pop songs, like ‘Blueberry Hill.’ But he said ‘I just play them in my style and people seem to like that.’ It’s right, and if you mix them all, and I really learned from that, it’s just play the nice songs, but in a way you can play them. When you play something, you don’t want to play it the same as somebody else, you want to play it in your style. And when you hear Fats, it’s all in his style, so I just really like Fats, lovely man.

What’s your favourite record you’ve ever played on?

Yeah well, I’ve been lucky, I’ve played on a few different records. I played on one with B.B. King and Van Morrison, it was a record for B.B. King with people doing tracks with him, and Van was singing a track and I was playing piano on it. They played this thing and they counted in, and the first intro is two leading notes on the piano. The band starts singing and B.B. starts playing and neither of them have played it before, and it just was ‘This is just great, wow, it’s really magical.’ I got the record back and it’s just lovely, yeah.

You’re not one for looking back, but do you ever stop to think about the life you’ve led in music?

No, I think sometimes it’s time to look in the rear view mirror and take stock, because there are some fantastic moments. I’ve been very lucky, both either on record where we recorded with George Harrison, or written with Dr John, or Dionne Warwick covered a song that San Brown and I wrote. I can’t believe it sometimes, all this stuff that’s happened.

Then also sometimes when we play on ‘Later’ or on the ‘Hootenanny’ and people play with us, you get some amazing thing [that] happens sometimes.

The atmosphere is just great when it goes. I think now, it’s not like it used to be where a record is that. Now, the record is if you get a great live performance and somebody’s filmed it, maybe millions of people will watch that on YouTube. Then sometimes it’s just being in the dressing room doing a warm-up with somebody at the piano. I remember being in the dressing room with Amy Winehouse and her just singing something at the piano. And you’re thinking ‘Wow, that’s amazing.’ So it doesn’t really matter whether it’s live on the television, on a record or in a dressing room, or at home or at a gig, you’re plugging into the same thing and it’s an amazing thing, So the adventure continues?

The adventure continues, I hope, that’s right, and it’s great fun to do it, it’s a great pleasure to keep playing, and you never know quite what piece of music is around the corner that you can embrace or attack, depending on which way you look at it next.

Book Review

A book review of Cottage by the Sea by Debbie Macomber Based on a true story of a deadly mudslide in the state of Washington in the USA, “Cottage by the Sea” by Debbie Macomber is a book about the enduring human spirit and the ability to move on after great tragedy.

Annie Marlow receives a call on Thanksgiving morning that will change her entire life and reshape how she sees the world. Despite her mother’s pleas, fun loving Annie chooses to stay in California where she is working to have fun with her friends instead of going home for the holiday. Now, she has to live with the guilt that she wasn’t there when the mud destroyed her home with not only her parents inside, but her brother, sister-in-law and baby niece as well. In a matter of minutes, her entire family was swept away.

Unable to overcome her grief, she returns to the cottage in the sleepy little town of Oceanside where her family had spent many happy summers. There, she finds a new job, new friends, and someone special who has also known heartache.

While finding her way back to a productive and happy life, she manages to changes others’ lives for the better as well.

Her recluse of a landlord, miserable and locked away in body and mind, a pregnant teenager who doesn’t know what to do with her future, and a man who grew up in a house full of hate - these are just some of the people whose lives are in chaos and whom Annie chooses to help. This outpouring of love is what ultimately brings her back to a life full of hope and joy.

The Felixstowe Magazine - SUMMER 2019

“Cottage by the Sea,” released in 2018, is at times both heartbreaking and uplifting.

It shows the courage of traumatized people who go on to help others while at the same time helping themselves. They realize that this is what makes them whole again and gives their lives meaning.

Debbie Macomber is a # 1 New York Times bestselling author with millions of novels in print, and according to her website, she “brings to life compelling relationships that embrace family and enduring friendships, uplifting her readers with stories of connection and hope.”

When you finish this book, you’ll find this to be true. For more, visit her website at debbiemacomber.com.

Litter-free Felixstowe Doing their part to safeguard Felixstowe’s environment

It’s already been a busy year for Litter-Free Felixstowe. Amongst the regular litter-picks a couple of major events have taken place. At the end of March, the group was invited to arrange a company litter-pick for the CEO and the Board of national network provider, Openreach as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme. Wearing the new Litter-Free Felixstowe hi-vis vests, the senior managers picked up micro-plastics on the beach from the Pier and along towards Fludyers.

We are now organising regular litter-picks across the town all the way from the Grove to Trimley shores and out towards the Felixstowe Ferry end.

Along our litter-picking travels, we picked their way through the alleyway opposite Shoe Zone. This area had been identified as needing work particularly as it would become an important walkway once M&S closes. Disappointingly, there were not only plastic bottles and inevitable crisp packets thrown by passers-by but also a large amount of cardboard packaging generated by shops. Cigarette butts were also seen to be a major problem and it was agreed that the Town Council and Litter-Free Felixstowe would work together in the future to tackle these issue. It was also confirmed that no one appears to own the alleyway and therefore it relies on volunteers to keep it clear.

Litter-Free Felixstowe comes together for a group litter-pick on the first Sunday of every month with ad hoc ‘mini litter-picks’ in between. Further fun events to bring together the community are planned for later in the year. To join, please find LitterFree Felixstowe on Facebook.

Greenprint Forum Plastic Action East Suffolk Greenprint Forum turning the tide on plastic pollution Few of us will have failed to notice the problems plastics cause when they escape into nature particularly in coastal communities like Felixstowe. You may even be one of the growing number who are already acting by collecting litter and/or avoiding single use plastics. The Greenprint Forum aims to enable even more action with the aim of not only clearing up what there is, but crucially, stopping the plastic tide in the first place.

The Greenprint Forum is a voluntary network, open to all, working together to enable community environmental action.

For example, you may have seen the Yellow Fish symbols beside some of the surface water drains in the town, or in the windows of many Felixstowe businesses recently, which are part of our Yellow Fish campaign undertaken by Groundwork on our behalf, to raise awareness of the issue of pollution 30

The Felixstowe Magazine - SUMMER 2019

entering gullies and drains then ending up in our watercourses and our beaches.

We are also developing a network of Plastic Action Champions – friendly and engaging volunteers who are passionate about the issues of plastic pollution and want to find out how they can help others, whether through their own networks or at public events, to make positive changes with regards to the perception, consumption and disposal of plastics. We know that the community is concerned by this issue and hope that there will be some in Felixstowe who would like to get involved. Working with Jason Alexander a.k.a. Wildlife Gadget Man, the Greenprint Forum will offer training, resources and ongoing support to Champions.

If this sounds like you – or if you’d just like to find out more about the Greenprint Forum - please get in touch!

Daniel Wareing Coordinator of East Suffolk Greenprint Forum 01394 444747 greenissues@eastsuffolk.gov.uk FB: @GreenprintForum

We are all born free. We all have our own thoughts and ideas.

We should all be treated in the same way.

LOCAL PERSON

Chris Stennett

from the Felixstowe Rugby Club

It’s not just about passion for the game, but bringing fun, diversity and respect to fitness What do you like about the game of rugby?

What is your biggest achievement?

Rugby is far more than a game, it is a community, a set of principles and a belonging that is unrivalled by any other sport. Anywhere in the world you can go to a rugby club and be welcomed by fellow brothers and sisters of this amazing family.

One of the main attractions of rugby for me is that it’s principles mirror those most profound in life: if you don’t put in the work you won’t get the results, you are only as good as your weakest teammate, respect your opposition but don’t put them on a pedestal, understand the law can work for you if you work with it, always shoot for the win even when you’re on the back foot and (the main one!) don’t be afraid to fall on your face and get back up when you do!

A few years ago, I took on the captaincy when the senior team was on its knees. With limited playing numbers we were struggling to field a team for most of our games.

Unsurprisingly, this led to further player loss to rivalling clubs and we either forfeit or lost all our games that season. Through the determination and stubbornness of the committee and remaining players we were able to persist through a similar start to my 2nd season, with a fresh team from a recruitment drive over the summer, turn it around in the 2nd half of the season to beat every team except one in the latter half and earn recognition as Eastern Counties Club of the Year 2018. Proof that when you are on the back foot, you can dig deep and still make a comeback!

When did you get into rugby?

How well did you do this season?

My dad persuaded me to join rugby, for which I am eternally grateful. Days out to games and the few nights in the bar with him are some of our best times.

I joined the Felixstowe family at 13 years old in an emerging junior section, a scratch team spanning ages 11-15 and only just getting a team out to play every few weeks. 13 years later, under the patient and passionate endeavours of our coaches, parents and supporters, Felixstowe RUFC saves over 100 children of all ages from their Xboxes every Sunday morning and has even seen some of our 32

juniors progress into the Northampton Saint’s juniors! Seeing their skills, both on and off the pitch, grow as they get older makes every badger proud of our younger generation as they develop.

The Felixstowe Magazine - SUMMER 2019

Unfortunately, I have had to permanently hang my boots up, so I didn’t play at all this year, but I am overjoyed that the coach and players have continued the momentum from the last season. The team finished 3rd, on points difference against 2nd place, and are looking to strongly compete for promotion next season!

Our ladies team has also started playing fixtures this season, collaborating with other local clubs to get games together. They have come on in bounds since their early training sessions and hope to join a league in the future.

Eastern Counties Club of the Year 2018, Chris is 11th from the left

What makes Felixstowe Rugby Club a success today?

A lot of work goes in behind the scenes at Felixstowe RUFC, or any rugby club for that matter, in order to maintain and grow our little community. It has to be admired that Felixstowe is entirely run by volunteers who, when doing sometimes thankless tasks, always get stuck in to make what we love work. I have been on the committee for 9 years now and have worked with people who take on roles at the club despite juggling very busy lives, all driven by their passion of the game to keep it going.

Felixstowe Rugby Club also treasures its relationships with other local clubs.

With rugby player numbers declining at grassroots level, the lending of players between ourselves and our neighbours at Ipswich have seen many games go ahead at both sites which may have been called off otherwise. Likewise, we reach out to our opposition to ensure that any surplus players are lent in the event that either team is short. At a junior level, coaches keep regular contact with the other clubs that host the same age groups in order to ensure continuous games for our juniors.

The rugby family’s priority is to make sure that everybody can enjoy rugby and to get games played.

I would like to give a big thank you to all the volunteers and sponsors of Felixstowe

Promising youth sides

Rugby Club, past and present. Without you our little club would not be possible. I would not have had all the rewards that have come from being involved with it, we would not have made the friendships we have and we would not be able to give the new generation of players a much needed place of social interaction in an increasingly technological world. Thank you. www.felixstowerufc.co.uk The Felixstowe Magazine - SUMMER 2019

Annabelle is ready to take on any challenge Annabelle had attended college before meeting Inspire Suffolk for just one day when her anxiety got the better of her.

She experienced panic attacks every day and wouldn’t leave the house alone.

She joined Inspire Suffolk’s Prince’s Trust Team programme, quickly settled into the group and started to come out of her shell.

Annabelle surprised herself by finding that she was enjoying activities which involved team building, helping in the community and talking to the public, something she would never have done before.

Annabelle knew that she wanted to go back to college to pursue her passion of photography and film, but not in a daunting large-sized college environment like before.

She gained a place on a Digital Media course, which she is completing to a really high standard. As a result of this, Annabelle is now applying for University courses. During the 12 weeks, she developed from being an incredibly shy person to a confident young lady who is ready to take on any challenge thrown at her.

“The support from the staff and team here is something really different and unique.”

Annabelle is one of the many young people who receive support from local charity Inspire Suffolk and their programmes. Their dedicated team will help you to overcome barriers you are facing and support you onto the next step in your life.

Sunshine and Nobby’s Nuts Random ramblings by our local lad Have you ever noticed how folk are more jovial when the sun is shining? Society tends to have more of a spring in its step. Those little annoyances that can wind us up on less balmy days tend to wash over people easier. Even traffic wardens smile and enjoy a little joke with you as they slap the penalty notice on your windscreen. Then bid you a smiley ‘good day’ before jumping back on their pushbike and continue to listen to Bobby Crush’s greatest hits on their iPod. I first noticed it this year over that incredibly warm and sunny Easter weekend we had.

My significant other was already down in Kent.

Did you know by the way Kent is referred to as The Garden of England? I couldn’t quite work out why whilst there however. Not once did I spy a disused mattress, rusty barbeque, an abandoned Little Tikes plastic child’s car or a Morrison’s shopping trolley lost in a patch of nettles – nothing like any garden I’ve ever experienced.

Anyway my partner went on ahead two days before I was able to venture down after work by train.

I arrived at the Ipswich train station on the Thursday evening and grabbed myself a pack of Werther’s Originals, a Greggs Partridge, Black Pudding & Thyme Pasty (I think Mary Berry’s had something to do with the new range) and a copy of Woman’s Weekly… erm Top Gear Magazine, I meant… erm… Top Gear.

I eagerly awaited the gleaming, stateof-the-art locomotive that was to carry me to Stratford International where my connecting train to Dover Priory was departing from. Instead a Greater Anglia train arrived…eventually…after a push. It would have to do.

Once I found my seat - thankfully one without chewing gum or a Balti Pukka Pie stain on it – and settled in.

The lady next to me was positively charming and commented on the beautiful weather we were having. It was she who first demonstrated this year the positive effect the sun has on people. You see she had just squeezed her Green Tea Bag (that’s not meant as a euphemism by the way) when I poured my can of ready mixed Adnam’s Gin & Tonic into my plastic tumbler.

Now one can’t enjoy a cool (or lukewarm in this instance) G&T without some Nobby’s Nuts; hot chilli. I opened up my Kindle (Barbara Cartland – I’m a huge fan) and reached for my accompanying snack.

These things aren’t designed to be opened without the aid of a Swiss Army Knife however. After five minutes of grappling with the ridiculous, foil-lined pouch it violently tore open sending a single, crispy coated sphere of nutty deliciousness over my arm rest which plopped into my neighbour’s cup of Twining’s infusion just as she was about to take a sip. I gasped. She stopped, put her cup down, turned to me smiling and said: “Thank you; I was wondering just that moment if Green Tea could be enhanced by the inclusion of something spicy. You have confirmed that is not the case.” I made a new friend that day.

So, if this sunny weather continues, I might not even find people wandering around with those stupid, wireless Air Buds in their ears really irritating! We shall see.

LOCAL PERSON

Tom Metcalf

There’s no better way to feel closer to our town than getting to know our neighbours There’s a reason why wifi goes down in my office… so I have an excuse to work on my laptop, on one of the more inconspicuous tables at the Orwell Hotel, while watching the incredible Tom Metcalf perform live. On one lucky quiet evening, this is what happened. It was just me, Tom, a pot of freshly brewed tea and a bowl of cheesy chips. The evening couldn’t have been more perfect.

I was fortunate to have the chance to meet Tom and find out a little more about what makes him tick in the musical world.

How did you first start playing the piano?

Well, I grew up in Coventry and my dad played in a pub just outside Coventry.

It was just him on a guitar and this other bloke, Mike, on piano and keyboards, 38

The Felixstowe Magazine - SUMMER 2019

and I’d only have been about five or six at the time, and for their last gig dad said to my mum to take me and my brother to go see them. So, yeah it was great – it was great to be in a pub at that age (laughs)… they were playing away and this guy, Mike, on the synthesiser and the piano just blew me away. And so, I go home and in the next week or two I said, “Mummy, Daddy I want a synthesiser…

I want to play like Mike.” Because kids change their mind every five minutes that said they’ll see if I still want to do it in a couple of years. Two years later I was still saying, “Mummy, Daddy I want a synthesiser and I want to play like Mike.”

We had a piano at home, so they said, “We’ll start you on the piano so you can learn on the piano before you’re doing all these fantastic things on the synthesiser.”

When I was about eight, they got a proper tutor to come into my house, and I was able to start practicing and playing then, and that’s how I started.

Did you learn at school too?

I did it for a few years as part of the

curriculum, but I never followed on with it because my private lessons had taken me beyond what they were teaching, so I was bored – I should have really done it… explored it and maybe got a GCSE maybe done an A Level and maybe gone down that route, but the lessons just weren’t doing it for me, so I didn’t pursue it.

Do you have qualifications?

With the teacher at home, we go through certain grades – with the classical stuff you’ve got your eight basic grades so I went through and did all of them.

Did you learn all genres of music?

After about grade five or six, my teacher started to introduce me to other things, like jazz, popular… show tunes, just to get a broad spectral of playing rather than just all the classics. I’d have to do the classics for the grades… he wanted me to explore other stuff so I was grateful he did that.

Was there a genre you particularly liked?

It does depend on what mood I’m in. I do lean towards the popular stuff a lot because it’s what I’ve grown up listening to, but I do like to touch on jazz or blues or whatever… sometimes I’m practicing new stuff and I’ll do something wrong, but it actually sounds alright for that particular song I’m doing, and that’ll take me off doing something else where I can go into a different genre or just in a different song or, you know, just explore where that’s taking me.

At this point I ask Tom to play a little jazz for me… he chooses the ultra sultry Summertime! To see the full performance, go online (link below).

When you play, you go through emotions?

Yeah, different songs can mean different things and it’s nice for me to be able to express that, it’s nice as well when it connects with other people. People will come to me and they’ll say, “I’ve loved your night, I’ve really enjoyed listening to you, but that song in particular was really something….” Getting that connection with people, it’s really good, as well as my release. Whether I’m playing in here (Orwell Hotel) for the people or I’m at home on my own, it’s nice to have that as well.

The quality of how you play really brings another atmosphere to the room.

Especially when the restaurant is full, it can really crackle the atmosphere. It’s really good. Also here in the library, it’s smaller and you get a different mood, a different feel. You know, if there’s a function on here, whatever it is; a small wedding or birthday or whatever… it can really add to the experience of the hotel.

Talking of weddings, you’re available for weddings right?

Yeah I do weddings, birthdays, anniversaries… if someone wants a pianist I’ll try and get there if I can.

‘‘

Everybody has a song or piece of music that they connect with; whether it makes them cry, or they get elated

Sometimes I think that’s better because as a member of the audience we get to focus on what you’re doing – it’s very peaceful.

Sometimes I get emotional listening to you play as a member of the audience.

(Smiles) That’s lovely for me to hear; I think I’m doing something right then… That’s the idea of it. Everybody has a song or piece of music that they connect with in some way; whether it makes them cry, or they get elated or whatever, everybody has that, and if I can give that to them in some way, then brilliant! It makes it worthwhile. It’s not just for my own benefit, it makes it all worthwhile.

In fact, there’s a piece you’ve composed yourself that I just love, will you play it for us?

Yes of course I will!

(Tom swigs a quick sip of his coffee before giving me a big treat by playing one of my favourite Tom Metcalf originals! It was a truly beautiful experience!)

The Felixstowe Magazine - SUMMER 2019

‘‘

Sometimes you just hit something and go with it... depending on what mood I’m in; what I’m feeling at the time, I’ll go with it.

They say the best art is that which communicates – tells the audience something or tells a story. Do you have a story?

Sometimes you just hit something and go with it. Other times I’ll be playing a few chords and structures of chords and again, depending on what mood I’m in; what I’m feeling at the time, I’ll go with it.

With your own compositions, do you have a goal in mind of where you’d like to go with your own music?

I need to get it recorded and it’s always there then. I can read music but I don’t write it – I’m just lazy (laughs)! But the thing is, if I’m home or I’m playing something and I’ll go off on something, I want to stay with it so I can keep it in my head and once it’s there, it’s there, rather than stop and go, “Ah yeah, I’ll write that down.” So, I don’t want to lose the moment or the feel of what I’m doing, so I need to actually just get it recorded; not just my stuff but cover versions and stuff like that.

Speaking of covers, I hear you do a great Elton John, will you do that for us?

Yeah, I’ll do that for you (smiles).

Once again, I’m treated to a private performance, this time of Song for Guy by Elton John.

Do you have a favourite you like to cover?

The popular stuff I like to do, the old standards… More modern, you did a video of me doing Alicia Keys. I think she’s 40

The Felixstowe Magazine - SUMMER 2019

fantastic! When you see her live, she just seems so alive when she’s performing – she plays beautifully, she sings beautifully. I think she’s something special. So I like to do a couple of hers. Also 90s when I was 18-25, you know, there was your Brit-pop stuff, so that kind of thing takes me back to when I was younger. Whatever I feel at the time.

You seem very alive when you play.

Thank you!

We talk about how musicians can really get into their performance and come alive with it.

There is that and that’s why we do it but at a certain time if I’m not into it, how can I expect anyone else to be? You have to put that in and give that to people… you can connect with people that way and this is the only way you can do it, so you have to be like that.

That connection - you must have had so many people come up to you.

I have, it’s lovely. I’m lucky being here because they look after the piano so well; they’re really good pianos; they (Orwell Hotel) maintain them well; they’re regularly tuned. You know, the atmosphere In the room with a nice setting like this, it all adds to

it, so I am lucky with that. In some venues their pianos haven’t been touched in years and not tuned – some keys don’t work… it’s half in pieces, it’s a shame for a pianist to see that, and you can’t use it so it’s just a shame. So I’m lucky to have these good pianos here.

in a minor key he’d have to change or I’d start crying. He’d have to play something happy just to shut me up! (laughs) I would have been six months or a year.

How do you approach your craft and your profession when it comes to living your dream and playing the piano and performing for others and then as a father taking your kids out and juggling everything. How do you make it all happen?

Tom finished off the interview with a beautiful performance originally composed

by Mike, the man that inspired Tom to play the piano from the very beginning.

It is hard but I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’ve got my regular job here at the hotel, I do the music at the weekends, I’ve got my family life – it’s all hard a lot of time, but I love doing all of it….I finish my job here, then I go be with the kids, I help my wife Claire raise them, knee deep in nappies. Then when the kids go to bed I’m able to play a bit and practice. So I don’t have much down time but it’s great, I love all aspects of my life – I’m just lucky I guess.

Apparently, when I was still in my pram, if my dad played Summertime, he could play anything fine, but if he played Summertime

I do believe there’s that connection there with music to some people. It gets to any body at any age.

Happy Globe

OUR AIM: To make a better world for all species

OUR DREAM: Our future generation will no longer need our aim We have grown up in a time of radical culture change, with mobile technology and the internet both coming to full realisation in our teens, and are grateful to be part of that “niche” group that is young enough to know how it all works and old enough to know the real implications. Whilst gaming consoles, instant movies and online movies have kept children and adults alike inside, we can see that the outside world is changing, and not for the better. Plastic is filling the ocean, global warming is causing more than melting ice caps and we are seeing species going extinct at 1000+ times the natural rate. There is no denying that this is humanity’s fault. Although it is the handiwork of those before us, we, this generation of us that have more resources at our fingertips than any before us, are the last generation who can stop it. We owe it to those before us, and to those coming after us, to try and fix this. This is why we created HappyGlobe CIC. The main cause of the ill effects we have had on the planet is the lack of information.

Those before us largely did not know the effects that they were creating; therefore, education is paramount to what we need to achieve. During our visit to Ghana in January, we discovered that the plastic and waste we get on Felixstowe does not even compare to the beach of Jamestown.

The townspeople are not responsible for this plastic, it is delivered by the currents of the world to their doorstep. Their only solution is to burn it, again due to the lack of information of how this is polluting the air, 42

The Felixstowe Magazine - SUMMER 2019

and the problem is returned to the rest of the world. This will not stop until the plastic is stopped at source.

Bees, as pollinators, are arguably the most important part of an ecosystem. It has been said that without bees, humans would have only 4 years to live whilst our ecosystems collapse around us. In Suffolk, solitary bee populations have dropped by 52% in the last 10 years. We have lost 4 species of bumblebees in the same time. Inspired by a similar project in Amsterdam, which has seen a dramatic increase in bees since it began 5 years ago, we have set out to try and support bees by encouraging the use of higher pollen yielding plants and also built our own beehive!

Our future plans include the education of youth groups so that we can remove the misconception around bees that they are a risk; did you know that bees will usually not sting you unless their hive is threatened, and that they will also warn you with a headbutt first? It is time we helped to replenish our fuzzy little honey makers to rebuild their numbers after we took away their homes.

It isn’t only the small and local that need our help, but also the large and distant. Sea turtles are in serious decline, with not one of the 7 species being classified above “vulnerable” in the Categories of Endangered Species chart. Due to global warming and poachers, only an estimated 1 in 1000 sea turtles make it to adulthood and only 1 in 10000 live their full lifespan. The Latin American Sea Turtle (LAST) association are a conservation group with 30+ years’ experience in Costa Rica, who have offered us an amazing opportunity to support their efforts in protecting these vulnerable species. Despite their expertise in this area, the group are put under pressure every egg laying season by the short time frame between the sand being treated from wet season and the deadline for when a hatchery is required to secure the freshly laid eggs from poachers. The hatchery they use currently takes 3-4 weeks to build, and the same to disassemble. We have designed a reusable, quick-assemble hatchery, that will take a quarter of this time, freeing up much needed resources for the site to devote to their cause. We are extremely blessed to have the opportunity in February 2020 to go to their site and lead the group in the first field use of our design.

We have been stunned by the amount of support that we have received since we started last year. It is encouraging and inspiring to find likeminded people and organisations with the same interests

A letter by the iconic David Attenborough himself.

as us. Conservation is at the heart of our dreams, so it was natural for us to seek out advice from a national expert in this field.

We were extremely blessed to receive a letter of encouragement from Sir David Attenborough (pictured), in response to our letter of introduction, and we look forward to hearing from him further on our future projects.

“Thank you for your letter – and thank you for all you are doing to help in the fight to protect our planet from further damage.

You ask for advice – but it seems you are already achieving a great deal – so the only advice I can give is to encourage you not to give up, but to continue in the admirable way you are doing. Would that others would labour as hard as you do in the interests of humanity and the planet we inhabit.

Best wishes, David Attenborough” The Felixstowe Magazine - SUMMER 2019

Working Together to Beat Period Poverty Sanitary products are a necessity, and every girl and woman should have access to them Students from Felixstowe Academy have been working with Suffolk County Council, the Basic Life Charity in Felixstowe and Suffolk Libraries to improve access to sanitary products in the East Suffolk area.

A special event at Felixstowe Library next week aims to draw attention to the project to address period poverty in the area.

The Basic Life Charity in Felixstowe noticed that requests for sanitary products in their pop-up shops were increasing week on week. They worked with Suffolk County Council to deliver a workshop to Felixstowe Academy students, which they embraced and recognised the need for things to change.

The idea for the campaign came from pupils Chloe Mills, Kat Walker, Katie Bridges-Burns, Megan Hobby and Jasmine Smith. With support from their Subject Leader for Health and Social Care, Mrs Couto and funding from Basic Life Charity and COOP, they made it a reality. They now have six boxes with sanitary products at the school – two on every floor. The boxes include underwear, sanitary towels, tampons, wipes, tissues and information pamphlets.

“I am so proud of the 6th Form Health and Social Care students who have championed ‘Proud, 46

The Felixstowe Magazine - SUMMER 2019

Period! such an important initiative. Their energy and passion to destigmatise ‘that time of the month’ is something that will be remembered in years to come,” said Mrs Couto.

Speaking on behalf of the girls, Katie Bridges-Burns said: “Sanitary products aren’t a luxury, they are a necessity, and every girl and woman should have access to them.

Through ‘Proud, Period!’ we’ve helped achieve that for the girls at Felixstowe Academy. We now aim to take it further and help people in the wider community.”

Suffolk Libraries supported a launch event, organised by the students themselves - at Felixstowe Library on 26th April. As part of a wider campaign Suffolk Libraries are also working with Suffolk County Council and East Suffolk Council to help raise awareness of Period Poverty and the support available across the East of Suffolk. On 26th April Suffolk Libraries will also expand its period poverty scheme ‘Pride & Periods’ in some new areas, information and displays.

Sarah Lungley, Mental Health and Wellbeing Coordinator commented, “We are so excited to be working with Felixstowe Academy students and Suffolk County Council. It’s imperative that organisations link together to raise awareness of this issue and to help fill in any gaps where there may not be any support for those experiencing period poverty.”

Suffolk Libraries launched Pride & Periods in October 2018 to help battle period poverty in

Suffolk and after a successful pilot are now working to expand the offer. The scheme offers free sanitary and bladder weakness items (subject to availability) through a discreet, no questions asked service, for anyone in need.

The scheme was initially started in the Ipswich libraries (Ipswich County, Broomhill, Chantry, Gainsborough, Rosehill and Stoke) and Bungay, Bury St Edmunds, Lowestoft, Newmarket, Haverhill and Kessingland. As part of the roll out, the following libraries will be getting involved with book displays, posters and collecting donations or launching themselves as part of Pride & Periods: Leiston Aldeburgh

Melody of Women’s Voices An informal women’s networking event to make connections in Felixstowe The very first Cocktails and Conversation, the new concept in networking in Felixstowe, was launched on 16th May by Laura Locke of Power Events, and in association with Mandeep Birdy from The Felixstowe Magazine. The event provided the answer to ‘why hold all-women events’. Forty women from all walks of life and ages attended the atmospheric Copas Bar on the Sea front to converse, discuss, listen, socialise, drink cocktails and eat

The Felixstowe Magazine - SUMMER 2019

fabulous food. The melody was provided by the harmonies of Stellar Acappella, an allwomen singing group, and also by the sound of women’s voices, that mixed and mingled.

Managed and supported by an all-women team, the pilot event was sponsored by A and S Recruitment Ltd of Felixstowe.

Nibbles were provided by the female team at the Greenhouse Cafe, surprising the guests with some beautifully presented and very tasty plant-based food. The Copas Bar’s female management team generously supported the event, and provided some very creative cocktails and a beautiful sophisticated environment where the organisers loved meeting and greeting the guests.

A survey was completed by many of the visitors and online, and it was identified that there really is a place for events of this type. Some of the answers to ‘Do you think an all-women network event is a good idea?’ included: ‘Tonight was lovely and it’s an opportunity to spoil ourselves and be together.’ ‘Yes - easier to be more confident with women,’ and ‘Yes as gives women the opportunity to discuss women-related issues which may not be relevant to a mixed audience.’

Laura Locke, event organiser said, “I was delighted with the response we had to the event, and due to the encouragement we have received, discussions are taking place about

future events. The emphasis will be on fun and relaxation, and support and empowerment for each other.”

IN THE

Garden Felixstowe’s gardening twins share their expert knowledge and experience

There are many types of iris that make a good display in the garden but in late spring, the tall bearded (pogon) iris come into their own. Sir Cedric Morris, the Suffolk artist and plantsman, introduced many new varieties. He is credited with propagating the first truly pink bearded iris at Benton End in Hadleigh, including Strathmore, which he exhibited at the Chelsea Flower Show in 1948. To quote the late Beth Chatto whose famous gardens are at Elmstead Market, “Cedric’s garden was an extension of his palette”.

However, the rhizomes tend to become overcrowded which stops the iris flowering.

Dig up the rhizomes and discard all shrivelled and diseased parts and trim leaves by two-thirds. Then replant the divided sections six inches apart allowing the rhizomes to be partly visible to benefit from the sun. French ‘flag irises’ have more frilly edged flowers than the English varieties but also come in an exquisite colour range with a delicate velvety appearance.

Many plants benefit from division particularly if they become overcrowded – e.g. hemerocallis (day lilies), hostas, michelmas daisies, sedums etc. Remove 52

the old lifeless parts, replant the divided healthy bits and water well.

Camellias, ceanothus, choisya, forsythia, hebes, lilac, ribes and other shrubs that have already flowered should be pruned where necessary. Decorative evergreen shrubs like coprosma, corokia, griselinia and pittosporum can be trimmed to shape to stop them outgrowing their space. Any new green growth appearing in variegated shrubs, e.g. elaeagnus maculata, euonymus harlequin, etc. should be cut out completely to prevent it becoming dominant.

The spring flowering clematis alpina, clematis armandii and clematis montana should be pruned after flowering. The large showy flowers of the Jackmanii group are about to burst into action brightening up trellis and weaving through roses and other climbing plants.

Prune wisteria to encourage formation and cut laterals and side shoots to 5 to 6 buds after flowering. The stems of the fragrant-

Japanese wisteria twine clockwise whereas the Chinese varieties twine anti-clockwise.

Buxus (box) plants need trimming during the first week of June. Hopefully your plants have not been defoliated by the Chinese moth caterpillar that has in recent years caused devastation to box hedging and parterres around the UK. Golden marjoram and purple sage make good edging plants to a south facing border. These herbs need cutting after flowering to keep them tidy. Bronze fennel adds interest and height to any border with its feathery foliage but seeds freely so collect seeds for cooking or scatter them in a restricted space. Oenothera (evening primrose) with its bright yellow flowers in summer is another statuesque herb seeding prolifically so deadhead after flowering to prevent unwanted seedlings.

The purple, pink and white flowers of digitalis (foxgloves) are a haven for bees but the leaves are poisonous. This herb too self seeds around the garden and easily

adapts to its surroundings. Dead head foxgloves before they seed if you do not want seedings springing up next year or collect the seed for use in the future.

Melissa (lemon balm), another freely seeding herb, can be used for cordials and tea as well as a lemon flavouring.

We love the raw talent of this local gal. Celebrating local youth and capturing moments, here’s Courtney Hessey My name is Courtney Hessey, I am 19 and I work as a stock control administrator at Wincanton.

I started taking photos as a hobby when I started college in 2015. I love to capture more natural photography and enjoy travelling to take photos. I have never studied photography in school or college but I use the internet and other photographers’ tips to improve my own photos. I am strongly inspired by nature and capturing moments that I consider to be beautiful. Such as capturing emotions or temporary situations such as particular sunsets or someone smiling.

Photography is an amazing way to capture memories of the people and places you love and that’s why I love it. My Mum and my Nan have been by biggest fans since I started taking photos and have always told me I have a talent for it. Their encouragement has been the biggest and most important factor in my persistence and I am thankful for them. One day I hope that I can make photography a more professional part of my life.

This summer myself and my friends will be collaborating with Jon Swallow to create a video. This video will include photography, dance, free running and some amazing people and I am very excited!

The Harm of Drugs

With recent news of big pharma greed harming the lives of tens of thousands around the world with patients being over-medicated and often given profitable drugs with little proven benefits, we wanted to share this poem sent to us by a local person.

I destroy homes, tear families apart - take your children, and that's just the start.

I'll take and I'll take, till you have nothing more to give.

I'm more costly than diamonds, more costly than gold - the sorrow I bring is a sight to behold.

When I'm finished with you you'll be lucky to live.

And if you need me, remember I'm easily found.

If given the chance, I'll drive you insane.

I live all around you, in schools and in town.

I'll ravish your body, I'll control your mind.

I live with the rich, I live with the poor, I live down the street, and maybe next door.

I'll own you completely; your soul will be mine.

My power is awesome - try me you'll see.

If you try me be warned this is no game.

The nightmares I'll give you while lying in bed.

The voices you'll hear from inside your head.

But if you do, you may never break free.

The sweats, the shakes, the visions you'll see.

Just try me once and I might let you go, but try me twice, and I'll own your soul.

I want you to know, these are all gifts from me.

When I possess you, you'll steal and you'll lie.

But then it's too late, and you'll know in your heart, that you are mine, and we shall not part.

You'll do what you have to just to get high.

You'll regret that you tried me, they always do.

The crimes you'll commit, for my narcotic charms, will be worth the pleasure you'll feel in your arms.

But you came to me, not I to you.

You'll lie to your mother; you'll steal from your dad.

You knew this would happen.

Many times you were told, but you challenged my power, and chose to be bold.

When you see their tears, you should feel sad.

You could have said no, and just walked away.

But you'll forget your morals and how you were raised.

If you could live that day over, now what would you say?

I'll be your conscience, I'll teach you my ways.

I take kids from parents, and parents from kids, I turn people from God, and separate from friends.

I'll be your master; you will be my slave.

I'll even go with you, when you go to your grave.

Now that you’ve met me, what will you do?

I'll take everything from you, your looks and your pride, I'll be with you always, right by your side.

Will you try me or not?

It’s all up to you.

You'll give up everything - your family, your home, your friends, your money, then you'll be alone.

Come take my hand, let me lead you to hell."

I can bring you more misery than words can tell.

Felixstowe Chamber of Trade & Commerce Helping small home-based businesses and the self-employed in Felixstowe After an exciting year that saw the opening of its business advice/training Hub above Crafty Coffee in Hamilton Road, the Felixstowe Chamber of Trade and Commerce is looking to build on the opportunities it offers.

These include hosting workshops on subjects such as using social media to boost business, and a special course for start-up companies, as well as regular coffee mornings.

The workshop for new businesses has been planned in association with the Norfolkbased Hethel Innovation Centre. It is a free training programme for aspiring start-ups that is aimed at helping people from firsttimers to veterans understand the journey from a bright idea to an active and successful business.

“Since the Hub was opened by Felixstowe Mayor Cllr Graham Newman in March, we have seen a surprising number of people with exciting ideas for new businesses who are looking for advice on training, or simply how to turn their ideas into a business,” 60

The Felixstowe Magazine - SUMMER 2019

said Chamber chairman, Roger Abbott.

“We are busy arranging coffee mornings there, too, with business advisers on hand to answer questions attendees may have about legal, financial, marketing, or employment issues.”

At the Hub’s opening earlier this year, Cllr Newman said, “This new Hub will be a fantastic asset for supporting Felixstowe’s many smaller businesses, which play such an important role in the town’s growth.

Starting and running a business can be a real challenge, so giving business owners access to a facility which offers helpful advice and guidance could be vital to achieving success.”

In what promises to be a busy summer, the Chamber is planning a summer programme, which will include a summer wine-tasting event for members, a special lunch or dinner to raise funds for a local charity and more “open house” networking evenings in members’ shops and offices. www.felixstowechamber.co.uk Photo: Felixstowe Mayor Cllr Graham Newman (second from right) with guests at the opening of the Felixstowe Chamber of Trade and Commerce’s Business Hub above Crafty Coffee in Hamilton Road.

MYSTERY SHOPPER

Crafty Coffee

Reviewing everything local, here’s our elusive Mystery Shopper What started off with a simple coffee and cake, turned out to be five full hours of great chill out time with friends over coffee, cake, cheese scone, Victoria sponge, four pots of tea and a whole lot of laughter!

That’s the thing about Crafty Coffee, as dinky as it is, it really is such a great place to kick back with friends and indulge in a conveyor belt of the best homemade cakes and scones in town - really... if you need lunch, those cheese scones tick all the boxes, including filling you up to the brim in carb heaven!

As it goes, one thing I wanted to do was to check out this venue while also taking the kids for a painting session. We ending up picking a ceramic tea tray, an elephant and a little pig.

The great thing about Crafty Coffee is that while the kids pottered away getting their creativity on a roll, I got to relax with my cuppa before the little ones inspired me how to adorn my pig with pretty patterns.

It was actually VERY therapeutic and the kids took to decopatch like ducks to water.

I was really very impressed with what they created and will for sure take them back in fact... I have little choice - they’ve made me swear to take them back every half term break! To be honest, I look forward to it just as much as they do!

Not long after, the girls came by while hubby took the kids to the cinema, and this is where the fits of laughter began. What

is it about women getting together and becoming teenagers again giggling at the silly little pleasures of life?!

Crafty Coffee is a fantastic venue. Not only is it the perfect place for a get together with friends, but a brilliant environment to get quality time with the children. It’s a convenient pit stop while shopping and hosts great adult evenings to socialise. And to top it all off, it’s also a business hub every Tuesday afternoons from 2pm, as well as Wednesday and Thursday from 10am.

Whether you’ve never been to Crafty Coffee before or you’ve visited previously, I’d be delighted to remind you of this beautiful creative bubble of activitycome-coffee shop. Linda and her staff are superb and cater to your every need, while the customers they attract are always so friendly, adding to the personable atmosphere of the place overall.

I’ll certainly be back!

Fuelling for Fitness Get ready to fuel your fitness fun with these great tips So, you want to hone your fitness? You’ve got the Lycra, the trainers and the PT / gym membership. All set to go, then?

Actually, no. There’s one vital ingredient that many overlook. Fuel. What you consume before and after exercise has a huge effect on performance and fitness.

So, if you want to maximise the benefits, how do you fuel for fitness?

• Your body’s main energy source is carbohydrate, which, converted to glucose and glycogen, provides fuel for the muscles. Aim to consume healthy, easily-digested carbs before you train. Insufficient glucose can induce weakness, dizziness and lethargy and leave you unable to train effectively.

• If exercising for extended periods (> 1 hr), you should also consume carbs during exercise as the body can only store a limited amount of glycogen.

Aim for 30-60g of carbs per hour.

• When you exercise, microscopic 62

The Felixstowe Magazine - SUMMER 2019

tears in the muscle fibres occur. It is during the repair and re-building of these tears that the muscles get bigger and stronger.

Muscle tissue requires protein to repair, so it is essential to include adequate protein in your diet, especially after exercise.

• The timing of meals is important to optimise the benefits of training. Eat at least 2 hours before training, to give enough time for digestion and for glucose to enter the bloodstream. A light snack 30 mins before is fine though, if you need an energy boost.

• The timing of post-workout meals is also important and can have a significant effect on the efficacy of muscle repair. Aim to eat 20-30 grams of protein within 20 minutes of ending your workout to maximise the body’s recovery.

• Make sure you are always well hydrated before and after exercise, especially sweaty, high intensity workouts. Even slight dehydration (3% or more) can significantly reduce physical performance. Aim to consume at least 2 litres of water per day + 500ml - 750ml for every hour you train.

• It’s easy to over-estimate calories burned through exercise - don’t make the mistake of consuming more than you burn.

There’s a saying in the fitness industry that you can’t out-train a bad diet. So don’t compromise all your hard work by ignoring these seven simple rules.

Summer Walks Distance: 6.4 miles Duration: 3-4hrs Level of difficulty: Medium Dog friendly: Absolutely!

Starting at the Ferry: Take the tarmac path along an embankment just before the Ferry Café car park. The path passes the boatyard with some abandoned boats full of character, lying in muddy flats. When you turn right across a stile you’ll be beside the Deben Estuary. After half a mile the path swings left and then right across an inlet at the entrance to King's Fleet.

Turn left to descend the embankment and walk along a broad track. You pass an old wind pump and stay on this track as it winds its way between farmland and King's Fleet. After 1 mile the track bends right and climbs to a farm where it becomes a tarmac lane. Continue until you reach a T-junction.

Turn left across the field to climb to a ridge then drop down through the next field to The Wilderness, a belt of trees beside Falkenham Brook. Turn left through the trees and follow this path alongside the stream, then bend right to cross a meadow. Make for the corner of a hedge opposite and bear right alongside a fence to cross a footbridge and continue on a grassy path between the fields. When you get to the end of a field, turn left and continue to the end of a hedge, then turn right to climb a track to Brick Kiln Cottages.

64

The Felixstowe Magazine - SUMMER 2019

At the top of the track, turn left along a lane and stay on this lane past Gulpher Hall and its duck pond. As the road bends right, walk past the entrance to The Brook and turn left on a field-edge path. The path ascends then turns right around a field and cuts straight across the next field, unless it's diverted by crops. Pass through a gate and keep straight on along the lane, then turn left in 150 yards on another path that runs between fields.

When you reach a pill box, turn right on to Ferry Road down to the sea. Cross Cliff Road and turn left, walking past the clubhouse and turning half-right across the golf course on a signposted path to reach the sea wall.

Turn left and walk along the wall, passing two Martello towers and a row of beach huts.

Continue to the mouth of the estuary and turn left just before the jetty to return to the Ferry Café.

FareShare East Anglia Suffolk food charity diverts surplus food to create half a million meals for people in need Suffolk food charity has saved a record 223 tonnes of fresh, in-date surplus food from waste by diverting it to people in need - a 73 percent increase on the year before.

FareShare East Anglia takes surplus food from the food industry that can’t be sold in shops, either because of packaging errors or a short shelf life, but is still good to eat and redistributes it to frontline charities and community groups. Food items and categories redistributed include fresh meat and fish, fruit and vegetables, ready meals, milk and cheeses.

A national survey found that, on average, each charity saves £7,900 from its yearly food bill by using food from FareShare, with one in five charities saying that without that food they’d have to close. The food also helps the charities provide healthier, more nutritious meals, with 77% saying it’s improved their client’s diets.

FareShare East Anglia Development Manager, Michael Barrett, said: “Times are tough for charities, with local authority cuts continuing to bite. The food we redistribute is great quality and tastes just like the food you’d eat at home. It’s amazing that we can take something that could been thrown away and turn it into something that creates enormous social benefit.”

The Ipswich based depot currently serves a network of 71 organisations across the county - which include school breakfast clubs, domestic violence refuges, older people’s lunch clubs, food banks and hospices.

One such charity is The Recovery Hub in Ipswich, which supports people affected by addiction. Simon Aalders, Director, said: “Good food is a crucial part of helping people recover their physical health, alongside communal meal times and learning to cook. Our FareShare membership has transformed our ability to provide high quality food, ensuring that everyone has enough to eat, with a great variety of food that we would not be able to provide otherwise.

These organisations in the last year alone used FareShare food to provide 502,619 meals for vulnerable people who might otherwise go hungry. The provision FareShare supplies also enabled them to make a collective saving of £560,900.

“The savings we make on our overall food budget through our partnership with FareShare also means we can afford to have one extra staff member on the team. More staff means better treatment support for the residents.”

STACKS OF LOCAL OFFERS SO YOU CAN

Support Local Businesses

Is there more to these vouchers than just getting a good deal?

With a larger than usual number of local shops closing their doors, it’s a very real threat that independent businesses cannot survive in this economic climate.

So how can we help them?

We all know that shopping local is the way to keep these businesses afloat, but what if you’re nervous to try a particular shop, or what if they’re a little pricier than you’d hope for, or what if you’ve never used a service/product like theirs before?

This is precisely why we started the voucher scheme - to raise awareness about businesses you might not have heard of, to encourage you to use them, and to give you an incentivising discount so you get something back too. Our voucher campaign was born out of the need to support local businesses. With them, you can literally save hundreds of pounds. And if you like the idea but don’t see businesses that you’d usually use, then get in touch and we’ll approach that business so they join the campaign too!

For now, have a gander through the lovely vouchers on offer and use them as much as you can! #lovelocal #lovefelixstowe #felixstowevouchers

Written by the grande dame of mystery, Agatha Christie’s “And Then There Were None” will keep you guessing until the curtain goes down. Adapted for the stage in 1943, it was a smash hit on the West End and Broadway and it is still surprising audiences today – even mystery fans may be stunned to realise the play has two possible endings! Ten strangers are summoned to a remote island. All that the guests have in common is that each carries a past filled with dark secrets. One by one they are accused of past crimes; one by one they begin to meet a gruesome end. With only a nursery rhyme to help them predict the next inventive, grisly murder, the diminishing group must try to discover the identity of the murderer. Who will be the last person standing? At the Trimley Memorial Hall. 01394 671119.

11.30am-1pm This group was created to ensure we tackle the issues of litter across the town to ensure that no plastic waste ends up in the sea. It is a local response to the global crisis in our oceans - we want to protect wildlife and the entire Eco-system. We want to act as a community and inspire everyone including residents, visitors, businesses, shipping lines and hauliers to take action. We will be organising litter-picks to include beaches, parks, woodland & hedgerows and grass verges.

Let’s make Felixstowe the UK’s first Litter-Free town - let’s do this together. Various locals.
