JULY/AUGUST 2020 | ISSUE 33

INDEPENDENT COMMUNITY MAGAZINE

A warm welcome from local shops Summer Safety Plan Art exhibitions and courses

Welcome...

t’s our July and August issue, and at last we have a printed magazine back out on the streets!

We’ve been touring the town, talking to businesses as they re-open, and while it’s fair to say there’s some concern about the effect the delayed tourism season is going to have on the town, the shops are all ready to go, social distancing, hand sanitising, PPE, and Perspex shields in place. It’s going to be a summer like no other! Our local businesses deserve your support, so visit if you can – safely of course.

We wanted a cover that encapsulated summer fun in St Ives, to lift the recent gloom, and John Chard’s shot of speedboat trip certainly does that. How long until a boat can carry passengers like this again remains to be seen, though. A reminder, too, that John’s 2021 calendar is now on sale.

Local News Food service signs off

Towans, Beachview, and Porthminster. Several more beaches throughout Devon and Cornwall will be covered during July.

Food distribution for those in need in and around St Ives has now come to a close as instigator PELS café looks to get back to seven-days-a-week operation.

Guy Botterill, the RNLI’s area lifesaving manager in the south west, said: “The charity have been providing a lifeguard service on a limited number of beaches since the beginning of June, which has enabled us to thoroughly test the new ways of working, PPE, staffing, and new equipment as a result of Coronavirus.

Despite the continuing challenges created by the pandemic, we are now confident we can provide a safe, comprehensive lifeguard service this summer.”

During the course of lockdown, Ailsa Dudley’s business organised weekly deliveries of homecooked meals – including desserts and cakes – to 200 individuals, with help from cook Jimmy – assisted

by Sarah and Tina – and Heather Britton, who works with the Salvation Army. And that’s not forgetting the delivery undertaken by the team at Ace Cars. More than £2,300 was raised through a Go Fund Me page towards the cost of the meals.

“We are so proud of our team for offering to volunteer their time, and hope that in some way we’ve managed to really help those less fortunate than most of us,” said Ailsa. “Now we need to try and focus on ‘rescuing’ our business, and are hoping we have lots of lovely people to serve over the next few weeks.”

Lifeguards return © RNLI/Katherine Woods

Since announcing the intention to be on more than 70% of beaches across the south west by the beginning of July, RNLI teams have been working hard to establish the service and have now announced the final list of beaches which will be lifeguarded.

Among the beaches RNLI lifeguards are now patrolling are Godrevy, Gwithian South, Upton

Doggy heaven

A new shop selling natural products for dogs is due to open in St Ives by the end of July. Ruff Life, at 10 St Andrew’s Street, will offer “an environmentally friendly and sustainable outlook on the paw world”, said owner Maria Horlick.

The range of carefully chosen products includes leads, collars and harnesses, natural raw food, healthy treats and biscuits and plastic free toys. Maria adds: “I will be selling some fantastic natural shampoos/ conditioners and soaps for the pampered pooch, and a few cosy beds. I hope to provide for our local pooches and visitor paws alike.”

Wrapped with love Staff and residents at Trewartha House Care Home in Carbis Bay have been busy with their knitting needles – and the result of their efforts is a 365m long multicoloured scarf, which has now been wrapped all the way round the building. Knitters in the local community also contributed to the project, which, in difficult and uncertain times, aimed to make everyone at Trewartha House feel loved.

Summer Safety Plan comes into operation

The middle of summer in St Ives. It’s crowded at the best of times, with the population increasing exponentially during the school holidays, not to mention the constant jousting with the motor vehicles wending their way through the historic streets. With the announcement of an easing of lockdown measures last month, and a number of classes of businesses given the green light to re-open on 4th July, some sort of management plan was needed.

And that is what Cornwall Council, St Ives Town Council, and St Ives Business Improvement District have now put into operation. The Town Emergency Safety Plan faces up to the ‘new normal’ and aims to safeguard residents and visitors alike with a road closure and keep left pedestrianisation system. It came into operation on Monday, 29th June and will continue during the summer season, as long as it is needed, with regular reviews taking place. The restriction are in operation from 11am until 4pm daily.

The road closes at the junction of Gabriel Street and Tregenna Place, and a keep left pedestrianisation system comes into operation down The Wharf and up Fore Street from the Post Office end. Any vehicles entering the zone

6

from Windsor Terrace, Bedford Road, and Back Street can go around Market Square and leave the town via St Andrews Street. Chapel Street is closed to traffic to avoid rat-running.

Residents who live in the traffic management zone can get a pass to enter it, provided their vehicle is registered at their home address.

Other parties, such as carers, fishermen, and emergency workers, can also gain access with passes, as can refuse teams. For businesses and other traffic who need essential access on an occasional basis between the restricted hours, they can register their details at the town council, and these can be checked at the road closure point and allowed through. However, all businesses and residents are encouraged, wherever possible, to make only essential journeys.

The emergency plan group said: “We appreciate that this will cause some inconvenience. But we have tried to minimise this as much as possible. At the heart of this plan is the need to help minimise the risk of infection and to support our businesses by helping them to trade safely. Public health is the over-riding concern above other considerations.”

Plastic Free St Ives: Keep clean – and protect the planet

by Emma Fashokun, manager of the Cornish Gems Coffee Lounge Since the beginning of this global pandemic, we have all become more acutely aware of cleanliness.

The necessity of keeping the virus at bay has seen a barrage of information on everything from effective handwashing to startling facts about how long the virus remains active on hard surfaces.

As plastic free advocates we often search for more sustainable ways to keep ourselves and our surroundings clean without using plastic containers. Unfortunately, when it comes to bleaches and other antiviral disinfectants. there are no plastic free alternatives. We have however, investigated some of the ways that you can stick to the guidelines in a plastic free, sustainable way.

Handwashing Many studies have shown that using a solid bar of soap is equally as effective as its liquid alternative. In fact, a bar can be better than some of the commercial foaming liquid soaps which require less hand rubbing, a key element to killing the virus. Additionally, there is no evidence that the soap retains virus or bacteria, unlike the pump handle of the standard liquid soap bottle. Of course, a lot of bar soaps also come wrapped in paper, which avoids unnecessary single use plastic waste.

Cleaning Cloths Rather than buying plastic infused microfibre commercial cleaning cloths, consider making your own from old towels and other household linens. These can then be washed with detergent at a high temperature after every use. This will ensure they remain virus and bacteria free. Of course, as well as saving on plastic use, you will also save money!

8

Dishwashing Brushes Just as effective as a plastic brush are the myriad natural fibre alternates. Using fibres from plant sources such as coconut husk and tampico, these brushes will clean your dishes just as well as their plastic alternatives and are fully biodegradable.

Your dishes may take you a few minutes to wash up – you don’t want your brush to still be on our planet in 1,000 years.

Laundry Unicef has issued advice that we should all be washing our clothes at the warmest appropriate setting, as well as ensuring they are completely dry.

There are now lots of sustainable brands on the market that enable us to achieve safe and clean laundry without damaging our environment. Look for phosphate free and natural ingredients as well as plastic free packaging.

Remember that every time you choose a single-use plastic alternative, you are making a difference. If you buy one plastic dishwashing brush a month, that’s 960 pieces of plastic which will be littering our planet for centuries to come. We can all do our bit to stay safe.

Follow Plastic Free St Ives on Facebook for details about the group’s next beach clean.

St Ives Archive: Battle against the sand Here in St Ives, we are blessed to have glorious sand.

The texture varies slightly from one beach to another – but you would have to go a long way to find better.

However, it does tend to have a mind of its own, and move around! You only have to look at the photo (below) to see what I mean.

Most years, in the spring, the town council has to arrange for the sand to be levelled at the eastern end of Porthmeor Beach, but I don’t think there has been anything quite like the build-up of sand that had to be dealt with in March 1952. Apparently, a mountain of between 18,000 and 19,000 tons of sand had to be removed using two very powerful bulldozers. The sand had built up heavily – possibly over the war years – and was now pressing again the artists’ studios and other properties.

The process took many weeks to complete.

A Porthmeor Sand Fund was set up by the St Ives Times, and donations were received from locals and hotel guests alike. For example, the Pedn Olva Hotel sent along 7 guineas (£7. 35p in today’s money) which had been raised by holding a whist drive. There was also a donation of 3s. (15p) from a schoolboy living is Isleworth, Middlesex, which was very generous for 1952, when I imagine most children would have had at the most only 6d (2 ½ p) a week pocket money. The total raised by mid-March was £200.7s. but the cost of removing that amount of sand was in the region of £1,500 – a very large sum in 1952.

I’m sure you will enjoy the following poem, Sand by St Ives Bard and poet, John T Barber: many thanks to his daughter, Irene, for giving the Archive permission to use it. The poem was written with the sand mountain clearance in mind, originally as a song, entitled Song of the Sand. An article in the St Ives Times of 7th March 1952 describes the song as having “an appealing tune in a minor key”.

The poem starts as follows: Sand, sand, sand sand, Beautiful silvery sand, All our visitors say it is grand; When summer is here and the beaches are swarming, The sea is so cool and the sun is so warming, That folk far and near from all over the land Come to play and relax, and they say it is grand, On our beautiful silvery sand, sand, sand, sand, On our beautiful silvery sand.

Sand, sand, sand sand, Beautiful silvery sand, What a power it has to expand, When winter is here and the north wind is blowing, The sand takes the air and then there is no knowing, Asleep in your bed, of the danger at hand, Being buried alive by the beautiful sand, By the beautiful silvery sand, sand, sand, sand, By our beautiful silvery sand.

This extra verse refers specifically to the Sand Appeal: Sand, sand, sand, sand, Beautiful silvery sand, But we now have a project in hand, So spare what you can, if it’s only a bob It will help the bulldozers to finish the job, Then we’ll put up the shutters and call out the band And we’ll all sing together The Song of the Sand Of our beautiful silvery sand, sand, sand, sand, Of our beautiful silvery sand.

Sand can be found in Johnny Barber’s wonderful book Cousin Jack Afloat and Ashore and Other Poems.

St Ives Farmers’ Market: Back in business at the Guildhall St Ives Farmers’ Market has re-opened its doors at the usual venue in the Guildhall, with social distancing measures in place and shorter opening hours. The market is also continuing its home delivery service.

Inside the hall, market stalls have been spaced out further apart than usual, and the overall layout has been changed, creating plenty of room for shoppers.

Entry is through the main doors, but shoppers are requested to exit through fire doors at the side of the hall, to avoid people crossing each other in the front corridor. There is a limit on the total number of customers in the hall at any one time, to avoid overcrowding.

The weekly market, which resumed trading on Thursday 18th June, started off with opening hours of 9.30am to 12 noon. However, it is expected that opening hours will revert to the normal 9.30am-2pm in July.

customers coming into the venue. This means that there may be some queueing at busy times.

We therefore recommend that you time your visit for the first or last hour of each market, or else use our home delivery service.”

The market has been in operation almost every Thursday of the year since it started by in April 2008. Thursday 2nd April would have marked the celebration of the market’s 12th birthday.

For further details and up to date information on opening times, visit www.stivesfarmersmarket.co.uk

The market’s home delivery service, which was set up to keep supplying customers during the closure, will continue to be offered. The service is open to anyone in St Ives, Carbis Bay, Halsetown, Nancledra, Lelant and Towednack. Delivery is free of charge on orders above £25. Full details can be found on the market’s website: www.stivesfarmersmarket.co.uk Not all traders are ready to return to the market, but those currently trading include Chypraze Farm (pork and beef), Cath’s Cornish Kitchen (bread and savouries), Cornish Chillies (fresh and dried chillies, chilli sauces and chilli plants), Kyfyth Kernow (jams and preserves), Paul Connor (vegetables and herbs), Roseveor Plants (perennial flowers, shrubs and succulents), Ruby June’s Indian Kitchen (curries, samosas, bhajis and patoori breads), and Rosewarne Apiary (honey).

“Customers have been very pleased to see the market back in operation,” says Tim Andrewes, one of the organisers. “We have had to adapt the stall layout significantly, to keep customers and traders apart. But with such a large venue, that isn’t a real problem.

Trink Dairy launches farmers’ market

For St Ives foodies (and we know there are a lot of you out there), the lockdown has seen a silver lining, with the town’s farmers’ market undertaking a new delivery service, while shops such as the Allotment Deli and Norway Stores have remained open throughout, offering the best of fresh local produce.

Now comes news of a new farmers’ market, being staged weekly at Trink Dairy, off St Ives’ old coach road. The market is taking place on Mondays from 10am until 1pm. It will be undercover if wet, but the advice is to make sure you wear sturdy shoes.

CTCC Solutions: Helping businesses to bounce back Cash flow may be more of a challenge than usual for businesses this summer, as they start to get back on track after the coronavirus lockdown.

It is never easy to approach clients about unpaid invoices – but credit control specialist Clare Trice and her team at CTCC Solutions Ltd are here to help.

CTCC Solutions provides an efficient and friendly service to a growing number of small and medium-sized companies, relieving them of the burden of chasing cash – which gives them more time to devote to their business.

Clare takes a personal interest in each company: “I like to visit all my clients to see how their business works, so I can make sure we provide a good service to them”.

She first met many of her clients through networking events held by the Federation of Small Businesses and Your Partnerships in Cornwall. When the pandemic led both organisations to move their meetings online, she relished the opportunity to make contact with potential clients all over the country. “I love networking, because there are always new people to meet, and something new to learn,” she says.

Networking was a vitally important tool for Clare when she decided to take the plunge and set up her own credit control business after being made redundant from an international manufacturing company.

strength to strength, and it was mainly through networking.”

In 2016, Clare and her husband and son moved from Essex to Cornwall. “It was almost like starting again, although most of my clients in Essex and London stayed with me,” she says. “It’s been interesting to discover the differences between being in business in Essex and Cornwall. One is that Essex had a high concentration of businesses, whereas in Cornwall, they’re spread over a much greater distance.

“Another is that the pace of life – and business – is more relaxed here, it’s less formal and I feel I get to know my clients and networking colleagues a lot more personally in Cornwall than I did in Essex, which is a very positive thing, it’s more about working together.”

CTCC Solutions offers flexible and affordable packages to suit businesses in different sectors, which can include invoicing and back office admin services, from just two hours a month.

To find out more, visit https://www.ctccsolutions.co.uk/, email info@ctccsolutions.co.uk, call or text 07778 250400, or contact CTCC Solutions Ltd via LinkedIn or Facebook.

“Back in 2012, I wasn’t sure that I wanted to take the risk of starting my own business. But I got my first two clients through a former colleague, and I had my redundancy payment, so I decided to give myself four months to get new clients.

There’s a warm welcome at your local shops!

St Ives businesses are springing back to life, and there’s a growing buzz among the shopkeepers in the centre of town. We took our camera around some of the independent businesses open just before we went to press, and photographed a selection of the open shops and some of their proud owners and workers.

The mantra of ‘shop local’ is oft repeated – but has it ever been more important than now, when small businesses are doing their best to survive and rebuild as pandemic restrictions loosen? These are all great shops, with staff happy to help and chat, with all the safe and protective precautions in place.

Barnoon Workshop: Painting and sketching in the sun Spend a couple of hours painting or drawing in the great outdoors in St Ives – what could be better on a sunny summer day? Throughout July and August, Barnoon Workshop is offering classes suitable for all abilities, from complete beginners to experienced artists who crave some time and space to paint.

Water colour painting sessions are taking place every Monday from 6th July, at different sites around Barnoon Workshop’s base overlooking Porthmeor Beach. There will be a different theme for each session, with a focus on a of topics such as beach scenes, seascapes, plants and flowers and shells.

The Workshop is also running outdoor drawing classes which aim to get participants to look at Ives in a different light. The fun, informal locations – again, for people of all levels of expertise – take place on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Locations will vary according to the weather, but there will be scope to sketch townscapes, sea views, street scenes, gardens and parks.

Good quality watercolour paper and drawing materials are provided. It is also possible to purchase paper as part of a watercolour kit, which costs £15, and which also contains paints, brushes, palette, sponge and pipette. A drawing kit priced at £10 is available for the Draw St Ives classes.

Barnoon Workshop is also planning sessions on Decorate with Decoupage on 25th August and The Art of Collage on 27th August.

Decoupage is a technique that involves layering collaged papers with glues and varnish, which can be combined with paint effects and personalised to your choice of design. This technique is great to cover boxes, trays, picture frames, or give new lease of life to old items of furniture, and they make great gifts too.

Tutor Zoe Eaton said: “During this workshop, we will take you through the steps of choosing your design, cutting, and use of correct materials and tools. Included in the price is a square palm leaf plate or box to decorate, and all materials.

However, feel free to bring along your own small object, and any relevant images you want to use.”

For the collage class, participants will be invited to take inspiration from the local landscape, or maybe try something different, with a look at the use of photomontage used in Surrealism and Pop Art and in contemporary collage. used today.

All materials are included, but people are also welcome to bring their own images to make their collage personal to them.

All classes are taking place in accordance with government guidelines. Group sizes will be smaller than usual to allow for social distance, and places on all sessions need to be booked in advance. Visit https://www.barnoonworkshop.co.uk/

St Ives School of Painting: Teaching online St Ives School of Painting is embracing online learning to bring a snapshot of its highly regarded short art courses to an international audience.

Housed in the famous Porthmeor Studios, overlooking the beach, the school was forced to close in March for what is thought to be the first time since it was founded in 1938.

It had been taking tentative steps into the world of online learning for some time, exploring ways a digital offering might compliment the annual studio programme. However, with the studios closed temporarily due to the pandemic, embracing digital opportunities suddenly became more essential and relevant than ever. The charity had to innovate quickly to engage with its community of students and deliver a much-needed dose of creative inspiration into their homes.

Beginning with a series of webinars in March, led by the inspirational artist tutor Alice Mumford, the digital programme has gathered pace with Naomi Frears — a highly regarded artist based in Porthmeor Studios — leading sessions attended by a growing international audience of aspiring artists. The sessions have proved extremely popular; one caused the system to crash due to high demand, hundreds of people from all over the world have taken part, and courses with restricted numbers sold out within minutes.

Director Alison Sharkey said: “It has totally transformed our perception of how the charity can work in the future, and emphasised the importance people place on cultural experiences — even during difficult times. Many students who have engaged with the online learning sessions commented that it has been a highlight of their lockdown.”

24

Most of the short webinars currently cost £5, and hundreds of people have made voluntary donations to the school on top of this, giving a much-needed boost to what is a registered charity.

At the end of June, the school experimented with a more intimate teaching group akin to what one might experience if coming to the studio. The intensive four-day course was an instant sell-out and will see eight students from around the world studying simultaneously. Led by Alice Mumford, the course combines live learning via Zoom with structured exercises and self-study time, and is inspired by celebrated artist Winifred Nicholson, an influential figure on the fringes of the St Ives artist colony in the inter-war years.

Winifred Nicholson + The Window invites participants to capture in oils their view of the world through a window. The theme has been chosen to show how people from different places are experiencing these unusual times. The school now plans to make regular webinars a core part of its offering, even when lockdown ends.

Chairman of trustees for St Ives School of Painting, Neil Scott, added: “This crisis has simultaneously put a huge squeeze on the cultural sector whilst reminding us all how much we value cultural experiences. Finding new ways of making creative encounters available will be a big part of future planning for organisations like ours.”

Art: News from the galleries The Leach Pottery’s shop re-opened to the public on 15th June, but by appointment only.

Visit leachpottery.com/shop-home for information on how to book a time slot.

Members of Bernard Leach’s family are getting involved in a centenary campaign called Pottery and People, to link individuals via their favourite pieces of ceramic art. Read more at stiveslocal.uk/leach-family-0620/.

It’s well worth signing up for the Leach Pottery newsletter, which can be done via the website.

Anima Mundi, in Street-an-Pol, has contributed to an online exhibition, CoLab, sharing space with five other international galleries. Enter thecolabsite.com/ and you can view work by Samuel Bassett, Rebecca Harper, Henry Hussey, Sax Impey, Andrew Litten, and Arthur Lanyon, among others.

Five per cent of all sales will be donated to The Sixteen Trust charity, providing essential

support and inspiration to young people from deprived backgrounds.

Meanwhile, the gallery itself has re-opened, with Andrew Litten’s powerful solo exhibition, Concerning the Fragile. The show features large-scale figurative paintings, bronze sculpture, and mixed media works. It aims to reflect the fragility of life with a succinct and inescapable relevance to the recent world crisis. “I look to create art that speaks of the love, anger, loss, personal growth, and the private confusions we all experience in our lives,” says Litten. The show can be viewed online, too.

Tate St Ives is asking: what colours come to mind when you think about Cornwall? “Is it the cobalt blue sea at Carbis Bay? Or a riot of red poppies on West Pentire headland?

Or maybe even the golden brown of a pasty crust?” Whatever your answer, hop over to instagram.com/tatestives/ to help create a colour palette for the county.

Book Review

by Alice Harandon, manager of St Ives Bookseller Rodham – Curtis Sittenfeld £16.99 (published on 9 July) What if Hillary hadn’t married Bill? How might things have turned out for them, for America, for the world itself? With her sharp – but always compassionate – eye, Sittenfeld explores the loneliness, moral ambivalence and iron determination that characterise the quest for high office, as well as the painful compromises demanded of female ambition in a world ruled by men.

The Museum of Whales You Will Never See: Travels Among the Collectors of Iceland – Kendra Greene £14.99 Welcome to Iceland, a very small nation with a very large number (265) of – mostly – very small museums. A nation where, in the remote and wild places, you might encounter still a shore laddie, a sorcerer or a ghost.

From Reykjavik’s renowned Phallological Museum to a house of stones on the eastern coast, from the curious monsters which roam the remote shores of Bildudalur to a museum of whales which proves impossible to find, here is an enchanted story of obsession, curation, and the peculiar magic of this isolated island.

Summer – Ali Smith £16.99 (published on 6 July) The unmissable finale to Ali Smith’s Seasonal quartet concludes in 2020 with Summer. In the present, Sacha knows the world’s in trouble. Her brother Robert just is trouble. Their mother and father are having

26

trouble. Meanwhile the world’s in meltdown – and the real meltdown hasn’t even started yet. In the past, a lovely summer. A different brother and sister know they’re living on borrowed time. This is a story about people on the brink of change.

They’re family, but they think they’re strangers.

So: where does family begin? And what do people who think they’ve got nothing in common have in common?

Surviving the Storm – RNLI £14.99 A collection of heart-wrenching and life-affirming missions from the last 20 years: each remarkable story is one of bravery, jeopardy and an unrelenting commitment to battling the forces of nature and saving every life. Volunteers are the lifeblood of the RNLI – men, women, husbands, wives, fathers and mothers, all forming one big crew determined to protect perfect strangers.

They are ordinary people doing the truly extraordinary.

Shine, Darling – Ella Frears £10 Congratulations to St Ives poet Ella, as her debut collection has been shortlisted for the Forward Best First Collection poetry prize.

You can purchase these and more either in the shop or online at stivesbookseller@mabecronbooks.co.uk. The shop is currently open from 11am to 4pm, seven days a week.

Creative fun in a box The Make It Box is designed to encourage local people and visitors to get creative over the summer months. This little box of magic, created by the Pick Pretty Paints team at Sloop Studios, contains more than 40 different art and craft materials.

The idea for the Make It Box came after the print studio had to cancel its planned programme of workshops. Textile artist Erin Lacy says: “Many businesses are having to be creative in different ways, and we are ready with new ways of working to provide a safe creative experience”.

The materials in the Make It Box include paint and brushes, colouring pencils, self-adhesive fabric stickers and blank card, providing opportunities to have a go at everything from fabric design to postcard art. Boxes cost £18, and can be posted, delivered or collected directly from the harbourfront studio on an allocated day.

Trevena Cross Nurseries: And relax…!

After a rather strange spring and shift into summer, we’re all ready to truly enjoy the magical garden spaces that many of us have been able to create for ourselves with the gift of time and seclusion during lockdown.

Although spring has already offered us plenty of opportunity to enjoy the garden, July and August are all about soaking up the summer rays and relaxing with a glass of something chilled in hand, while barbecue smells from the neighbourhood fill the air. If you’ve still not found that perfect place to sit and relax, by the way, do pop by for a look at the garden furniture ranges at Trevena Cross – they may just be able to tempt you!

Vibrant summer colour should still be spilling from pots, troughs, baskets and borders, courtesy of bedding and patio plants, as well as summer flowering perennials and shrubs. The ‘grow your own’ patch is sure to be offering up delicious fruits of your labour too, like tomatoes and strawberries.

You can still be productive too, though.

Now is the time to think ahead to next spring’s wish list.

Spring-flowering bulbs hit the shelves around the August Bank Holiday, when all important decisions regarding next year’s magnificent daffodil display or tulip show must be made, if you want first pick of the entire range. Cornish spring-flowering narcissi bulbs are also usually in the mix, and

28

available by the bucketload, for fabulous drifts of Cornish colour next spring!

Trevena Cross have got some very exciting picks available at the garden centre too – with lots of lovely smaller palms from Spain (many variaties!) ready to create stunning focal points in large pots or as part of a subtropical or seaside planting scheme. Their Dicksonia antarctica tree ferns, ranging from 1ft trunks right up to 8ft trunks are also proving popular as majestic focal points for a slightly shadier spot.

The usual mix of wonderful summer-flowering perennials, in a variety of sizes, are also providing colour across the spectrum, and Trevena Cross would like to give a special shout out to their huge hedging range, which is still growing. Having grown thousands of hedging plants in their nursery for many years, Trevena Cross have decided to take it up a notch yet again and compete better than ever before with the well-known online hedging specialists – matching or in many cases surpassing the quality, quantity and value for money that they can offer.

So if a new hedge could be the order of the day for your garden, do take a look at the Trevena Cross website, pop by for a look or drop the team an email at sales@trevenacross.co.uk Trevena Cross, Breage, Helston, TR13 9PY 01736 763880 . trevenacross.co.uk

Garden Stories A floral welcome

Many Cornish gardens which closed their gates when the Covid-19 crisis began have been able to welcome visitors again since lockdown measures were eased in June.

In the Jungle at the Lost Gardens of Heligan, the gunnera plants which were knee-high in March now boast leaves spanning two metres, and at Trelissick, the National Trust garden overlooking the River Fal, the summer borders are bursting into bloom.

During the months of closure, garden owners have had time to carry out risk assessments, introduce additional hygiene measures and make provision for social distancing to ensure the safety of their visitors and staff.

Advance booking, timed slots, and oneway routes to prevent overcrowding and queues have been introduced Some gardens are offering simple refreshments, and others are inviting guests to bring picnics.

Central to the campaign was the Virtual Garden Visit scheme. During sunny spring days in lockdown, garden owners who had been planning open days were invited to create videos of their gardens, which were posted weekly on the NGS website. The response from people viewing the videos was enthusiastic, and by the end of June, around £100,000 had been raised for Help Support Our Nurses.

As George Plumptre, Chief Executive of the National Garden Scheme, observes: “The opening system we are having to operate is quite different from a normal open day when people just turn up and pay at the gate”.

Comments from two visitors to newly re-opened gardens in Cornwall: “We came yesterday, first time more than a mile from home since the lockdown. I am a nurse and have been working through all of this, getting out and having some normality and taking the dog somewhere different, so good for my mental health.”

More than 3,000 gardens across England and Wales – including around 50 in Cornwall – were due to open this year in aid of NGS nursing charities. Although spring open days had to be cancelled, Mr Plumptre is delighted that some summer dates are going ahead. Fundraising has continued while the gardens have all been closed. “We have run a very successful campaign, Help Support Our Nurses, drawing attention to the amazing work on the frontline of the

30

coronavirus crisis being done by the nursing charities we support. One hundred per cent of funds raised at gardens during the rest of 2020 will go to this campaign.”

A virtual tour of Carminowe Valley Garden, near Helston, is one of nearly 200 videos now in the NGS library, which will continue to be available now that gardens are starting to re-open. Mr Plumptre said: “We know there are many people who are not able to get out, and they have particularly enjoyed our Virtual Garden Visits”.

“I had a wonderful time. Only my second time venturing beyond my own garden gate since lockdown started. Booking in advance limited visitor numbers, so I felt very safe.”

Check https://ngs.org.uk/ and https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/ for information about Cornish gardens opening for the NGS this summer, and how to book.

Travel: Getting back on board

by Jo and Paul Mooney of Stunning Escapes

Hello from the team at Stunning Escapes! It’s amazing the difference a month makes in the world of travel. It is incredible to see our industry starting to bounce back – we have been exceptionally busy for the last few weeks, as people start to plan ahead.

As we write, we are awaiting a government announcement about when and where people can start travelling internationally. For many people, this is not a moment too soon, if they have been separated from their loved ones. We really appreciate how difficult this has been, not knowing when the reunion with your family may happen.

Under the proposed ‘air bridges’ scheme, we expect to see travel resume in the first instance to short haul destinations such as Spain, France, Italy and Greece, and possibly Portugal and Croatia. These destinations are selling exceptionally well, particularly for villas and apartments for the summer months and into autumn. The Caribbean, we believe, will follow quickly behind, as many resorts across these beautiful islands are already open. We have seen phenomenal demand for this region of the world for the later part of the year and into early 2021.There are some fabulous offers, especially if you fancy some Caribbean island hopping. We are planning to visit Jamaica in October and then onto Antigua – the rum in Jamaica is a special draw, as is the stunning Blue Mountain coffee!

We know how many people cannot wait to fly off on an adventure, or escape somewhere special to relax, and forget for a moment how difficult the last few months have been. If you are looking to book, we have some advice to make the process as painless as possible, and ensure you have an incredible experience.

32

Book a fully protected package. The current risk of booking flights and accommodation separately has probably never been higher, as we expect to see situations where either the accommodation you have booked is open and the flight does not go, or vice versa. Your travel agent can advise on which suppliers have acted in the consumer’s interest and which haven’t over the last few months.

Book with an ABTA member. They will look after you and your trip, and be there to answer any questions. They will also have been briefed on all the new processes around travel. These are changing almost hourly at the moment, so it makes sense to use someone in the know.

Ensure you have adequate travel insurance in place.

Your travel agent will have some great suggestions – we deliberately do not offer insurance, so we can let you know our thoughts totally impartially.

Policies are now coming to the market to cover you if you were to catch Covid-19.

Be flexible and open to new destinations. We have seen some incredible work by certain destinations and resorts to ensure your trip is fantastic.

Embrace the changes! Travel will be different – but in many ways, it will be so much better, with potentially fewer people on flights and in hotels, and even higher standards of cleanliness.

We’ve been missing that wonderful feeling when the aeroplane door opens, you stand at the top of the steps, and the heat hits you as the sun streams in. Even if you’re not yet ready to book, enjoy the time to plan and dream about your future trips!

Best wishes, Paul and Jo x

Sweet Williams Florist: Unique creations for every occasion Sweet Williams Florist designs beautiful bouquets and arrangements for weddings and bespoke floral tributes for funerals, ranging from butterflies to boats.

Flowers have been owner Margaret Sobey’s passion from the day she started a Saturday job at a florist’s shop many moons ago. It was always her dream to have her own shop – and to name it after her grandfather, William Freeman. In 1939, William was the sole survivor of an RNLI rescue mission off the coast of St Ives. “This taught me from a young age that life is precious, and we should do the things that we are passionate about,” she says.

Margaret now has more than 30 years in the industry, and takes pride in her commitment to providing a quality service. “We offer a variety of wedding bouquets, such as a wand, hand tied, fanned and extensions, and can blend designs to create a really unique piece. Add a dash of colour to your special day with our beautiful archways, pedestals, table pieces and aisle decorations. We are happy to create bespoke floral pieces to complement your theme, location and style.

“We understand that flowers are a big part of your day, and we try to provide a little something for everyone in your wedding party, including bridesmaid bouquets, buttonholes, hair flowers and corsages. We can source any flower you require, almost any time of the year, ensuring you have the perfect floral arrangements for your day.”

For funerals, Margaret offers home visits every day of the week, and at any time of day. “Losing a loved one is never easy and we aim to honour your loved one by creating unique pieces that represent them.” In one case, this involved designing a farm scene in flowers, complete with tractor, cow, pig and sheep. “It is my mission to continue to challenge myself with the bespoke pieces our customers desire,” she says. “We have never said no to making a piece.“ Sweet Williams Florist is based in Canonstown.
