Editorial Ninety years ago this month, a significant cultural event occurred: on the 2nd the BBC launched the world’s first ‘high-definition’ regular TV service. Around 100 owners of TV sets saw the one-hour programme: a weather forecast, the news and a variety show – so, a precursor of every Saturday night to come! November is the last month of autumn and, from the 1st to the 30th, total daylight time reduces by over 1½ hours. The long, dark nights however do allow better appreciation of various nocturnal events, especially if there is no cloud: fireworks displays, such as the one at the Kings Head Pebmarsh on the 7th (Page 14); the Taurid meteor shower, bringing slow, bright fireball meteors, which peaks on the 4th/5th; the Leonid meteor shower, offering up to 15 shooting stars per hour, which peaks on the 17th/18th; and the Beaver Full Moon on the 24th, which this year is a Supermoon… On a more reflective note, St John the Baptist church in Pebmarsh will be marking Remembrance Sunday on the 8th (Page 11), while Armistice Day events at war memorials locally will be taking place on the 11th. November is also National Book Month, so Bookworm’s recommendations (Page 19) should help you choose some suitable reading for these longer nights. As well as our other regulars – Nature Notes (Page 17) and Gardening Corner (Page 18) – there is also information about: taking part in the new Local Plan Consultation (Page 5); Maplestead’s Quiz Night on the 14th (Page 6); Probus’s quest for new members (Page 8); and the Reverse Advent Calendar reminder for Braintree Foodbank’s much needed items (Page 9). There are also reports on September’s GestUp Fest in Gestingthorpe (Page 23) along with October’s Harvest Café Church foodbank collection success at St Giles’ and a preview of the church’s planned Festive Christmas Tree display in early December (Page 29). And finally: our cover picture acknowledges November’s firework tradition, but it is important to remember, when celebrating, that due consideration needs to be given to all those neighbours, dogs, cats and horses that are likely to be disturbed by unaccustomed flashes and loud noise. Thank you – and take good care! Cover Picture: Firework Display © NHS Foundation Trust

Thought for the Month I love November. There is something magical about this softer, quieter month: the trees letting go of their leaves, the evenings drawing in and the world seeming to invite us to slow down a little. Perhaps that is why November feels like a month for memories. All around us are reminders of people and moments that have shaped our lives. All Souls’ Day gives us space to remember those we have loved and lost, while Remembrance Sunday invites us to remember those whose lives were given in the hope of peace. Memories remind us of the people who have helped make us who we are, and whose love remains woven like a golden strand into our lives. It’s amazing how ordinary things can suddenly unlock a memory. A song, a scent, an old photograph, a particular place or even the light falling through a window can transport us back through the years in an instant. One of my favourite childhood memories is of an Advent calendar arriving from England, sent to me by my Nanna, when I was growing up in Zimbabwe. November and December were hot and sunny for me, so an English Christmas seemed magical. The calendar was a village scene, with golden lights glowing in the windows, a huge Christmas tree and covered in silvery glitter that caught the light. Behind each tiny door was a scene from the nativity story. I thought it was one of the most magical things I had ever seen. A golden strand of memory. Perhaps that is one of the gifts of November: time to remember. To treasure the people and moments that have made us who we are. To tell stories. To bring out the old photographs. A time to remember with love. And perhaps, in our remembering, we might also notice God. God is not only found in grand or extraordinary moments. God is present in the ordinary stuff of our lives: in the people we have loved, in laughter, in kindness, and in memories that still bring a tear to our eyes. Perhaps sometimes, looking back, we can see God’s fingerprints in places we did not recognise them at the time. Through it all, God is there — quietly holding our memories, our joys and our sorrows, and gently reminding us that love is never wasted. Because love has a way of leaving light behind. “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.” John 1:5 Blessings, Helen Sherfield Licensed Lay Minister Halstead Area Team 4


Local Plan Consultation Braintree District Council is in the process of finalising its Local Plan which, once adopted, will provide the framework for development across the district for the next 15 years. An up-to-date Local Plan will give BDC greater influence over where development can take place and will help secure the infrastructure needed to accommodate housing growth. Without one, there is a greater risk of unplanned development, less local influence over planning decisions and potential Government intervention. Following the Preferred Options consultation earlier this year, BDC redrafted the Plan to take account of all the responses and this was approved by Full Council on 21st September. The approved Submission Draft Local Plan document has now been published for a final Public Consultation (officially known as the Regulation 19 Consultation). This Public Consultation runs until 5.00pm on Friday 6th November. Its focus is to determine whether the Plan is legally compliant and sound. It provides a final opportunity for residents, businesses, community groups and stakeholders to comment before the Plan is submitted for independent examination by the Planning Inspectorate. How to view the consultation documents Copies of the Submission Draft Local Plan, the supporting documents and guidance on how to make a representation can be found at: www.braintree.gov.uk/localplanreg19 Hard copies of the Plan and paper response forms are available to view in libraries and at Causeway House, Braintree, Essex, CM7 9HB How to submit your comments Online: Visit www.braintree.gov.uk/localplanreg19 This is the quickest and easiest way of submitting comments. E-mail: Responses should be sent to planningpolicy@braintree.gov.uk. Post: Written responses should be posted to: Planning Policy, Braintree District Council, Causeway House, Bocking End, Braintree, CM7 9HB. What Happens Next? Following this consultation, BDC will pass all comments directly to the Planning Inspectorate, along with the updated Braintree District Local Plan (Regulation 19) and supporting documents for examination. This will take the form of public hearings, led by Government-appointed Planning Inspector. If any changes – known as main modifications – are recommended, BDC will further consult on those modifications. All feedback received will be passed directly to the Inspector, who will consider it carefully before reaching a final conclusion as to whether the Local Plan is ‘sound’. A written report will then be produced outlining the Inspector’s final recommendations. 5

Pebmarsh Church Matters Remembrance Services in Pebmarsh Pebmarsh Church will mark Remembrance this year with two acts of worship and commemoration. The Remembrance Service will take place in church on Sunday 8th November, when the parish gathers to honour those who served and to reflect on the cost of conflict. All are welcome to join us for this important moment in the community's year. On Wednesday 11th November at 10.45am, the community will assemble at the War Memorial at Pebmarsh for the traditional Act of Remembrance. The short ceremony will include the reading of names, the Two Minutes’ Silence and the laying of wreaths. Pebmarsh School has once again kindly offered refreshments to those attending the War Memorial on the 11th, and extends a warm invitation to come across afterwards for tea and coffee.

Acknowledgement of Sponsored Cycle Donation The Pebmarsh PCC wishes to record its warm and grateful thanks to Martin Elms and Tim Nash, who undertook a sponsored cycle ride on behalf of Pebmarsh Church. Their efforts, supported by the generosity of many friends and neighbours in Great Maplestead, raised the remarkable sum of £610. This donation will be used specifically to help meet the church’s essential running costs—utilities and other unavoidable overheads that keep the building open, lit and usable for worship and community life. Martin and Tim have asked that this be made clear to sponsors and Pebmarsh PCC is pleased to confirm that the funds will be applied exactly as intended. We also confirm receipt of the donation and extend sincere thanks to everyone who contributed. It is a heartening example of goodwill between neighbouring villages, and very much appreciated.

Luke Brown – Pebmarsh PCC Secretary 11

Nature Notes from a Cottage Garden We seem to be enjoying a very gentle transition from our abnormally hot, drought-ridden summer into autumn. Golden, sunny days which seem like a gift to enjoy before the harsh realities of winter must be faced. But the garden seems strangely quiet. I feel there are fewer birds than usual for this time of year, fewer butterflies, moths and other insects. The fierce drought conditions in the summer meant a shortage of food and water for many creatures which has impacted greatly on their numbers. Even now, many ponds, streams and ditches are still bone dry. The ground is hard and unyielding making it very difficult for birds to access their usual feast of worms and other insects. Flowers have shrivelled and died so that there has not been the usual supply of pollen and nectar for honey bees, moths, butterflies and other flying insects. I particularly miss the garden robin’s wistful little autumn song and the way it seems to be sung just for me when I go into the garden. However, there is one garden resident who is still very much at large – larger than life one might say – and that is His Lordship the Magpie. Magpies always nest in the scrappy part of our boundary hedge and as they are very noisy birds, their call being a harsh cackling, they make their presence known. In spring when the magpie young are being fed, the murderous shrieks and squawks can make your blood run cold. But at the moment I feel very pleased and relieved to see him on the lawn, resplendent in his striking black and white plumage, hopping across it in a manner which can only be described as both arrogant and sinister. I am careful to be very respectful to him, however, and salute him the first time I see him every day. I wish him good morning and enquire after his family. It has to be done. Last month I wrote about a recent arrival to the UK, the Firebug. This month here is another – the Ivy Bee [Colletes Hederae] – which arrived here in 2001. This bee resembles a Honey Bee but it is slightly smaller, with clearer, brighter stripes of black and yellow. Unlike the Honey Bee it is solitary and lives in a hole in the ground where the soil is light and sandy. Inevitably other Ivy Bees will choose the same favourable spot and so often thousands of these solitary bees will live close together. As their name suggests these bees feed on the nectar of Ivy flowers which bloom at this time of year which means that Ivy Bees can be seen between September and November. So, if you are close to an ivy hedge and hear a low buzzing, inspect the flowers and you’ll see them. Patricia Fletcher 17


Gardening Corner November days can be dark and dreary, but there is still work to carry on with in the garden. Self-seeding plants are a bonus; here are two I would recommend, ideally when about 3 inches tall. With the soil being damp and clinging to the roots more easily, you can move young plants to a new location in the garden. Honeywort [Cerinthe major] is one – once established I find that it tolerates being moved and the mauve pendulous flowers brighten up a dark corner. Common fennel [Foeniculum vulgare] is quite prolific, grows to about 2 meters and is an ideal plant for the back of a herbaceous border. This month is ideal for digging-in compost in the vegetable garden or, if you have a no-dig policy, spreading it on top of the ground for the worms to help break it down. Garlic can be planted at twice the depth of the bulb; it should be ready to harvest next June. Roses should be pruned to take off any long stems. With the dry summer we have just had, I find my roses have made a good deal of early autumn growth; prune to just above an outward-facing bud and reduce the bush by approximately a half. It's not too late, while the soil is still warm, to plant shrubs, perhaps replacing any that died in the drought. Again, dig in plenty of compost when planting a new shrub and water well, even if we have had rain. Check outside taps are well insulated before the cold weather arrives and it’s a good idea to put wheelbarrows away for the winter once you have finished using them. Plant tulip bulbs and, if like me, you have a squirrel problem, cover the top of the pots with some of the rose prunings to deter squirrels from digging in the pots, hiding walnuts and acorns! Lastly, if you do have a bonfire, please check for hedgehogs by moving the pile; hedgehogs are becoming increasingly rare and need all the help we can give them. Enjoy the fresh autumn air… The Arborist 18


Book Reviews A TV novelisation and some historical intrigue to enjoy into the winter…

BROADCHURCH: THE NOVEL: Erin Kelly Even if you have watched this BAFTA award winning ITV drama series, the consensus of most reviews/comments suggest that this novel, written by Erin Kelly and based on the script by Chris Chibnall is a jolly good read. In the sleepy seaside town of Broadchurch Detective Ellie Miller has just returned from vacation, only to learn that she's been passed over for a promotion at work in favour of outsider Alec Hardy. He, escaping the spectacular failure of his last case, is having trouble finding his way into this tight-knit community wary of new faces. But professional rivalry aside, both detectives are about to receive some terrible news: 11-year-old Danny Latimer has been found murdered on the beach. For Ellie it's a personal blow; Danny was her older son's best friend. She can't believe anyone in Broadchurch would ever have harmed him, but Alec considers everyone, even Danny's parents, as suspects. It's a living nightmare for all involved...even before the press arrive and start stirring up the secrets every resident keeps hidden behind closed doors. The novel includes material not seen on TV, with a fresh perspective on the murder investigation, particularly the breakdown of relationships in a close-knit community. The author explores the characters’ motivations and emotions in detail and fully captures the tension of the drama series.

THE KING’S WITCH: Tracy Borman In this first book of a trilogy, Frances Gorges helps to nurse a dying Queen Elizabeth I but longs for the fields and ancient woods of her parents' estate. Here she learned to use the flowers and herbs to become a muchloved healer, some would say a witch… The new king from Scotland brings change, fear and suspicion. His court is decadent but James's religion is Puritan, intolerant of all the old ways. He is obsessed with seeking out and punishing witchcraft and, very early in his reign, he has already put to death many so-called ‘witches’. So when Frances’s ambitious uncle forcibly brings her to court, she finds herself trapped in a claustrophobic world of intrigue and betrayal – a ready target for the twisted scheming of Lord Cecil, the King's first minister. Surrounded by mortal dangers, Frances can find happiness and security only with the courtier Tom Winatour. But he is one of the Gunpowder plotters and, little by little, he sucks Frances into the dangerous and ultimately doomed plot, at great cost to them both.
