Communication Access UK Hello! My name is Catherine Harris. During the 10 years since we have lived in Southbourne we have got to know many of the traders and value the friendly service we receive in many of the shops and businesses. I am a project consultant for Communication Access UK. The International Symbol of Access (commonly referred to as the wheelchair access symbol) is one of the most recognised symbols domestically and internationally. The symbols for hearing and vision are also well known. Yet there has been no universally accepted symbol for communication access in the UK until now. A Communication Access Symbol was oﬃcially launched in November 2020. The aim is to make this as recognisable as other disability access symbols. This is the UK Communication Access Symbol.

learning disabilities, Downs syndrome, autism, hearing impairment, stroke, brain injury, head and neck cancers, Parkinson’s disease, motor neurone disease, dementia and many more. Communication is not simply about the ability to speak but also the ability to hear and understand what is said to us. This lies at the very core of human dignity. Communication difficulties leave millions without a voice, denying them equality of access and opportunity. We want this to change! Training is FREE. You can sign up as an individual or as an organisation at www.communication-access.co.uk Through the training, people will gain the skills and confidence to engage with people with communication difficulties much more effectively. They can then display the symbol. This is a great way to show that organisations value their customers. A better communication experience for all will always translate into better customer service.

Millions of people across the United Kingdom have communication diﬃculties, including both adults and children: • 1 in 5 of people experiencing a communication diﬃculty at some point in their lives; and • over ten percent of all children and young people having some form of long-term communication need. These include people with a range of conditions including cerebral palsy,

Next time you are in Southbourne High Street, see if you can spot which shops are displaying the Communication Access symbol!

23 Keep Britain Tidy Green Flag Awards for outstanding parks and open spaces Today, Green Flags will be raised across the BCP area with pride. 23 of BCP Council’s outstanding parks and open spaces have been awarded a Green Flag Award, managed by environmental charity Keep Britain Tidy. The scheme, licensed by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, recognises and rewards well-managed parks and green spaces, setting the benchmark standard for their management across the United Kingdom and around the world. In addition, Hengistbury Head, Upton Country Park and, for the ﬁrst time, Poole Park have also achieved the much-coveted Green Heritage Site Accreditation for its management of the historic features. This special accreditation is supported by Historic England. Poole Park is recognised following £2.7m of investment from the Parks for People restoration programme, run by The National Lottery Heritage Fund and The National Lottery Community Fund. Councillor Mark Anderson, Portfolio Holder for Environment, Cleansing and Waste, said: “I am once again so very proud of our parks and open spaces that have been awarded Green Flags across the BCP area. This is fantastic news for both residents and visitors, as parks and open spaces have been such a lifeline to everyone during a diﬃcult 18 months. “As a council, we recognise that our green spaces are vital to our everyday health and wellbeing, and we are committed to protecting and enhancing our

outstanding natural environment and preserving it for generations to come. These awards highlight what a fantastic job our Parks Team do, in maintaining our green spaces to the highest standards required, despite so many challenges. I would also like to mention and especially thank our dedicated volunteers who provide so much valuable support for our open spaces, everything from litter picking and keeping paths clear, to heathland management and supporting our visitor centres.“ Commenting on the announcement of this year’s winners, Keep Britain Tidy Chief Executive Allison Ogden-Newton OBE said: “As Green Flag Award celebrates 25 years of raising the standard, Keep Britain Tidy is delighted to be the custodian of a scheme that does so much to ensure our parks and green spaces go from strength to strength. “At a time when parks have been at the heart of every community across the country it is perhaps not surprising that 95% of the public thinks that their local parks and green spaces need to be protected. This is why the Green Flag Award is so important. It ensures that parks and green spaces are managed to the highest standards and are safe and accessible for everyone to enjoy and we look forward to the next 25 years.” Christchurch Quay and Roeshot Hill Allotments in the BCP area also received Green Flag Awards this year.

The Need For Speed World champ Lewis Hamilton on staying, and feeling, young and motivated for success While not everything has gone his way so far this season, the bookies are still ﬁrm in their backing of Lewis Hamilton as, categorically, the man to beat. The 36-year-old Brit said: “To all the kids out there, dream the impossible! Believe you can win every race, believe you can amount to every challenge… and you just might.”

bed then wake up the next morning and do the same thing again and again and again. We all have lives outside the circuit, but my commitment has never waned.” As far as being the sport’s ‘Marmite man’, his 2020 BBC

“We are in a different era now and a lot of us have been trained as racing drivers to keep our cool, because when you start to lose your mind in a car you start to lose control.”

The frightening thing is that, despite seven world titles, the Mercedes driver has time on his side – the great Luigi Fagioli was 53 when he scored his final race win at the 1951 French Grand Prix. Certainly, it’s becoming difficult to remember a time when Hamilton’s grit, speed and desire wasn’t present in the sport. And while life away from the track often gathers as many headlines for Hamilton, the racer is confident in his commitment. “I know people like to brand me as this celebrity who cares more about image, money and photoshoots than he does his profession, but I can assure you that’s not true, nor has it ever been true. “There are no racing drivers who finish a day’s racing on the track, head home get to

them in the pit lane at the end of races, and don’t me wrong it was great entertainment to watch that kind of thing.

Sports Personality of the Year Award proves that public swell remains with him. And anyway, not only does Hamilton give short shrift to the detractors, he has the ability to stay calm and collected at all times. “Racing has been a part of my DNA from the start,” he says. “I’m just not one of those drivers who’s going to go around losing my rag.

As for what comes next, Hamilton remains as conﬁdent and motivated as ever. “In thinking about the future I always look to the past and I’ve been with Mercedes a long, long time. “It’s been a privilege to see Mercedes evolve, see the success over those years, and now to be a part of that success and to see them constantly evolving, innovating, and moving forward.”

“I do remember back in the day watching Michael Schumacher square up to other drivers and go after

Talking about Wildlife...

The Deceptive Cuttlefish The closest most people come to a cuttlefish is when their white ‘bones’ wash up on beaches after rough weather. These are the evolutionary remains of the animal’s shell, as cuttlefish are molluscs, relatives of the snails in your garden. Way back in the evolutionary past, their protective shell was internalised and then evolved into the cuttlefish bone, which is used to provide the animal with buoyancy in the sea. By regulating how much gas the bone contains they can move up or down in the water without having to expend energy on swimming. If you pick one up it feels light. Cuttlefish bones are not the only thing that makes this animal extraordinary. They are recognised as intelligent animals, indeed, research has shown that they can be more intelligent than cats and dogs. Capable of counting at an equivalent level as a 4 year old child, they can also solve puzzles, negotiate mazes and plan ahead. Research has now revealed that these remarkable animals can use deception Common Cuttlefish Photo: Julie Hatcher

to get what they want – something that only a handful of species, including ourselves, are known to do. Cuttlefish communicate using the colours and patterns on their skin, which they can change instantaneously. This is especially used in courtship, when males compete for a female. Male cuttlefish have been filmed displaying female patterning on one side of their body (where a competing male can see it) whilst at the same time displaying to the female on their other side that he is an interested male. By deceiving the male cuttlefish into believing it is a female and therefore no threat, it avoids a physical battle, whilst at the same time giving the female his ‘come hither’ signals. While divers regularly encounter and interact with cuttlefish in our coastal waters, most people do not have the opportunity to meet these most interesting of animals. However at the Fine Foundation Wild Seas Centre in Kimmeridge Bay, Dorset Wildlife Trust had a baby cuttlefish in its aquarium. It is one that washed ashore as an egg and subsequently hatched in the aquarium where it grew rapidly ready for release last year. If you wish to visit, the Centre is open daily from 10.30am until 5pm from April to October. Find our more information about the centre: www.dorsetwildlifetrust.org.uk/ wild-seas-centre By Julie Hatcher

Family and Property Protection Trust Will Package Overview In addition to all the benefits included with the Property Protection Trust this “ultimate” package adds protection for your family’s inheritance with the use of Discretionary Trusts and provides flexibility and peace of mind. Some of the more common reasons why our clients ask us to provide them with the full Family and Property Protection Package are: “I want to protect my daughter’s inheritance if she gets divorced in the future” “I wish to protect my children’s inheritance from future care fees” “I would like to help my grandchildren go to university or buy their first car” “My son has a drug problem. I need peace of mind that his inheritance is used wisely for him, and not wasted” “My daughter has a mental health disability, so I want people I can rely on to manage her money”.

Why use a Family and Property Protection Trust Will? The benefits of the Property Protection Trust have already been well documented in past editions, but there are many reasons why including a Discretionary Trust in your Will can further help your loved ones. (See above) This type of trust is most effective because the assets are held and managed by the Trustees to distribute to the beneficiaries at their own discretion. This means your legacy is better protected from third parties and from being squandered by the beneficiaries. You can appoint family and friends (including the beneficiaries) as your Trustees but you must be confident that they will act fairly. Between two and four Trustees should be appointed. Alternatively, you can appoint a professional Trustee for neutrality and expertise. The package includes a Letter of Wishes. This document sits alongside your Will’s and helps your Trustees to understand the aims you had in mind for how the Trust Fund should be used.

QUIRKY FACTS by Mica Bale As the nights have drawn in and autumn is on the cusp of being retired in favour of the winter weather, what could be better than enjoying a delve Dorset’s quirky facts from the comfort of your own armchair? From an interesting racehorse trainer to a fascinating connection to the Great Fire of London, here’s another handful of our beautiful; county’s quirkiest facts!

1 Sandbanks

has always been favoured for its iconic sandy form and slightly unorthodox start in life however did you know that one of Britain’s earliest female racehorse trainers, Louie Dingwall, was a resident of the area after the ﬁrst world war, falling in love with the then rugged and wild landscape? Dingwall originally lived in a sea hut and could regularly be seen training her horses on the beach. As well as becoming one of the ﬁrst female registered racehorse trainers, she and her husband did much to put Sandbanks on the map, providing transport services to the area. 20

Have you spotted the numerous ﬁngerpost signs around the county? More than just a delightful addition to the countryside and a lovely slice of the county’s history, ﬁngerpost signs have been an important part of Dorset’s landscape for generations. In fact, one such signpost, entitled Amen Corner is thought, according to the Dorset Rambler, to have been the site of an old chapel where Henry III once visited!

Did you know that there have been chess lovers in the county for millenia? In the small village of Witchampton, whale bone chess pieces were discovered dating as far back as the 11th century? These small ornate pieces of whalebone, sophisticated for their day, were found at the former manor house, now in ruins, and are now under the custody of the British Museum.

Were you aware that children’s book author Enid Blyton drew upon the pretty Dorset village of Stourton Caundle as inspiration for one of her most beloved books, Famous Five Go To Finniston Farm? In fact, Manor Farm in Stourton Caundle was actually owned by Blyton’s family during the 1950s and many of the farmhouse’s historic features are incorporated into the book, no doubt preserving them for generations.

Interestingly it was a Dorset local who helped to rebuild London following the Great Fire of 1666. Following the devastation in the capital, legal issues arose concerning lost properties and rights, largely concerning who was responsible to pay for each building lost. Sir Hugh Wyndham had a somewhat tarnished history that involved imprisonment following the Restoration before being pardoned by King Charles II. Largely owing to Wyndham’s prowess as a judge, his cases were settled quickly and allowed the city to be rebuilt as soon as materials could be found. Usually cases would stretch for weeks if not months however with Wyndham’s methods, London was able to recover promptly. ENJOY THIS FEATURE IN EVERY ISSUE!

Progress on the Local Heritage List Campaign Dorset Council and BCP Council have appointed Land Use Consultants (LUC) to manage the Local Heritage List Campaign, which will enable communities of all ages and backgrounds across Dorset to nominate locally important buildings, sites, monuments and features to be included on new Local Heritage Lists. The project has been funded by a grant of £70,000, from the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities. The Local Heritage Lists will provide a free publicly accessible record of non-designated heritage assets, whose conservation will then be a material consideration in planning decisions. The campaign will provide a baseline Local Heritage List for each authority and will be regularly updated with new additions into the future, with the records of all assets being added to Dorset’s Historic Environment Record.

to Dorset’s wide range of communities and heritage. Cllr David Walsh, Dorset Council’s Portfolio holder for Planning, said: “I am pleased that this important project is progressing. It is very important that we help to promote and protect local heritage and forge stronger connections between people and their local areas, at a time when we are reconnecting with what surrounds us and valuing it more than ever.” Cllr Mohan Iyengar, BCP Council’s Portfolio Holder for Tourism, Leisure and Culture commented: “This is a great opportunity for people to be involved and to nominate sites which should be preserved across our towns and villages in Dorset. We’ve much to be proud of and this is recognised by residents and the many visitors who come this way. I’d encourage everyone to make themselves heard when the call for nominations is made later this year.”

Later this autumn a public call for nominations will be announced on the Dorset Council and BCP Council websites and through other media channels, along with guidance on the criteria for assessment. These will be guided by Historic England’s standard criteria for Local Listing, but opportunities will be taken to identify local criteria that are speciﬁc 24

Have Your Say on the Future of Cancer Support The responses will help Wessex Cancer Trust build an accurate picture of need, ensuring local people receive the best possible support from the charity. Wessex Cancer Trust, a charity dedicated to providing free emotional and wellbeing support for anyone living with cancer throughout Hampshire, Dorset and the Isle of Wight is asking local people to complete a survey on what they most need from non-medical cancer support. The charity wants to hear from anyone who has any type of cancer at any stage, families and friends aﬀected by cancer or anyone who has a job or other interest in cancer services. Questions include the kind of worries and fears people experience from diagnosis to recovery, how non-medical support should be delivered, the quality and availability of support, and the accessibility of information and advice about diﬀerent types of cancer.

Launching the survey, Wessex Cancer Trust’s CEO, Rachel Billsberry-Grass, said: “It’s widely understood that a cancer diagnosis can have an eﬀect on how we feel emotionally. We found through our own research in 2019 that 61% of people experienced worry, fear of anxiety. Despite this, support for cancer patients’ wider needs – including mental health, is often patchy and delayed. Many of you will be all too aware of the impact Covid-19 has had on cancer services. If the estimates and statistics prove to be true, the next few years will see an increase in the number of people needing our support. We’d really appreciate your input on how your views and experiences have changed, so we can be ready to provide that support in the best possible way.” You can access the survey at: https://www.wessexcancer.org.uk/

Casting a Spell We look back on the release of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, 20 years ago. It’s two decades since one of the most sought-after movies in the modern era filled cinemas, reassured millions of avid fans of fantasy fiction that a character on a big screen really could live up to the image portrayed in literature, and scored Warner Bros. the first of seven wickedly wonderful wizard box office smashes. The distributor had bought the rights to JK Rowling’s first novel, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, for a cool £1m two years previously, quickly setting to work with director Chris Columbus and screenwriter Steve Kloves to make good a character who had enchanted fans on both sides of the Atlantic. The movie opened in the UK on 10th November 2001, and would go on to gross over £900m

in becoming the second most successful movie of all time. The revolution that followed single parent JK Rowling in the publishing world – to date over 500 million copies have been sold worldwide – is actually put in the shadow, if that is possible, by the success of the movie franchise. The Warnerheaded outlay in lead stars Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, and a whole host of supporting icons, such as Robbie Coltrane, John Hurt and Alan Rickman, paid back in ways more monstrous than even a Voldemort spell, and to date the films have grossed an incredible £7.7billion. Such was the weight of expectation over the first film release in November 2001 that teaser posters had started appearing the previous December. And on the night of the premiere, the Odeon in Leicester Square was decked out to resemble Hogwarts School. Of course, as we well know, from that

moment on the die had been cast. Rowling, eventually, would conclude matters with The Deathly Hallows in 2007, and by the time the film version put to rest the journey of the marvellous wizard and his cohorts four years later, it was clear the fantasy fiction market would never be the same again. The Philosopher’s Stone courted rich acclaim from allcomers, and was nominated for three Oscars – Best Art Direction, Best Costume Design and Best Original Film Score. It might be noted that perhaps it was the youthfulness of its main characters – Radcliffe was just 11 when filming began – that kept it away from the top awards; though acclaim in universal audience admiration will always cast the greater spell, something of which Potter himself would be proud.

The health beneﬁts of skipping rope It’s incredible what 12 minutes per day skipping rope can do for your health! Every journey starts with the first step, so with your rope in hand - you can begin at your own pace, in your own space (you can skip anywhere!). Skipping rope does far more for our health than what most would assume. Are you aware than when you skip you are literally exercising your brain too? It’s called ‘Audio Spatial Perception’. What does it mean? Well skipping requires you to develop both the ability to concentrate on how your body is moving and what it should be doing as well as grow the perseverance and endurance to learn and maintain new rhythms of movement. As your communication between brain and body improves with simple movements when you first start out, with perseverance, you will move on to move challenging movements and full workouts. And by that stage, your brain will start training your body to do it with more ease, and you’ll 17 Colour Combinations Available

continue to the next challenge, and so the pattern continues. This is brain and body exercise on another level! And it really requires so little to get started. In addition to these brain boosting benefits, skipping is also burns an incredible amount of calories, improves coordination, strengthens bones, lessens injury risk and improves heart health from the day you get started!

The Adventures of Daichi

The Modern Magazines Camper Van The Jurassic era, an age of reptiles. A time of abundant dinosaurs and the advent of birds and mammals. It all started approximately 200 million years ago and ended around 145 million years ago with widespread volcanic eruptions and the release of so much CO2 that the oceans became acidic, and the global warming killed off 76 percent of marine and terrestrial life on Earth. Many plants however survived including the ferns we see today, horsetails, cypress, pines and many other species of our beloved greenery we so enjoy. Daichi is a big fan of our British Jurassic Coast. He loves to wind around those country lanes and end up at the sea looking out into the far distance. This month he took us to a real Dorset beauty spot. Ringstead Bay off the small village of Ringstead. The beach here is very different to the majestic

The cozy, secluded beach at Ringstead 38

sandy, warm beach in Weymouth just 8 miles away. This is a covelike beach, more like you find in Devon or Cornwall. It is pebbly and has painted wooden rowing boats waiting patiently in their upsidedown position near the wall. I love sandy beaches, but this was pretty special, and the water was crystal clear and inviting. Daichi had found this glorious, secluded place by chance in fact, as we were just exploring, following roads we thought looked interesting. Daichi likes to do this. On a warmer day, it would have been ideal for a picnic and a swim. It is such a sheltered, cozy bay. Today it was enough to take in the view and relax. The Isle of Portland, looking very grand, is in clear sight. There is a café with seating outside and a parking area which is really convenient so I am sure in the height of summer it is buzzing with excitement and

activity. The day we arrived it was quiet and peaceful. Ideal for gazing out to sea and breathing in the fresh, cooler autumn air. Perfect. After a little exploration Daichi took us onto Osmington Mills just five miles from the town of Weymouth. Here there is a ‘chocolate box’ thatched pub and restaurant, The Smugglers Inn. Beautiful. The views from the cliff top here are both exhilarating and extremely calming at the same time. That first, incredible, panoramic scene over the sea, the cliffs, the bay, the rocks and huge ocean liners bobbing around (a reminder of our trials and tribulations of today), took Daichi’s breath away. Can you imagine being a massive dinosaur lugging that heavy body and long neck across this land and swinging your neck out to sea where there are huge fish swirling around in the waters below. This area sparks that imagination, that long-gone sight of yesteryears. The walks around the whole coastline look inspiring and the next time we go there we will be wearing hiking boots and will be

taking a stroll for sure. The beaches are dog friendly too, so for anyone with a four-legged, active friend, they can take the stroll with you. This whole 96-mile Jurassic coastline, which stretches from Exmouth in East Devon to Studland Bay in Dorset is just gorgeous. There is so much to explore. Thousands and thousands of years of history. Changing climates, reptiles now extinct, fish are much smaller, and humans have taken over. What a different planet it is today. Somehow for Daichi it puts the problems of now, into a different perspective. Maybe we should take some of those problems less seriously, throw caution to the wind a bit more, argue a little less and laugh much more. Daichi certainly likes to make us smile and I have to say he does a great job! Where will he take us next, I wonder…?

A Design for Life… The Kevin McCloud Column Designer, writer and television presenter, Kevin McCloud leapt into our consciousness with his vastly successful Grand Designs show on Channel 4. This month, the affable architect discusses the importance of buildings in terms of who we are as people. I’ve always regarded buildings as living, breathing, evolving things, and while you can judge each and every one architecturally, sometimes the real fabric of a home, an office, a shop, a theatre – whatever it may be – is in the people and personalities who inhabit it. It’s always interesting with Grand Designs when we revisit buildings several years down the line to see how they have grown and merged into their environments. When a project is freshly completed there is always an element of buildings appearing clinical and, I guess, unhomely. I would even suggest that a scuffed skirting board or lightly scratched wooden floor adds personality to a space, so we should all be encouraged to enjoy our homes, to throw ourselves around in them, without fear of losing that show home chic. It’s funny, I remember one of the first projects we did, down in

Brighton. I went back after 12 or 13 years and discovered that the kids who were five or so were now these strapping 18-year-olds and heading off to university, while this ‘house’ was truly transformed into a home. In other projects we revisited, we had many people who had started projects effectively homeless, or as single parents,

a local councillor, or perhaps they are sitting on the board of a housing association, all giving back to the community. For me, that shows that in the right circumstances when you’re given the chance to build (which is an empowering process) and to experience living in great architecture, it leads to people’s lives changing for the better. It’s no coincidence and I see this all the time; and I love that because it vindicates so much of what I’d felt and believed about buildings for so long.

or totally new to architecture and construction. Many of these now find themselves with design qualifications, or having become

So when people ask me to name my favourite buildings, the answer, quite simply, is to suggest the best ones are those that make people happy. That’s essentially what we build for – security, protection, survival and enjoyment. A building can only ever be the platform for what truly makes a place, and that’s the people.

The Racing Line The achievements of three F1 families – the Rosbergs, the Hills and the Villenueves. The Hills - When Damon Hill won his world title at the relatively grand age of 36 – although a huge 10 years shy of 46-year-old Juan Manuel Fangio’s 1957 triumph – the Hampstead-born man became the ﬁrst son of an F1 champion to emulate his father.

1997 F1 Championship and then finishing 2nd as part of the Team Peugeot Total outfit at Le Mans in 2008. Although his father Gilles didn’t win the F1 Championship, Championship for Williams Racing – despite securing only one race victory that season. He also retired from three races and was disqualified from another.

Graham Hill won in both 1962 and 1968, but is best remembered for winning the Triple Crown of motorsport – the F1 World Championship, the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Indianapolis 500. However, this has been updated to include the Monaco Grand Prix, which Hill won ﬁve times. Hill Sr. was unfortunately not able to see his son lift that title in 1996 – he died in a plane crash in 1975 along with ﬁve other members of the Embassy Hill F1 team he set up. The Villeneuves - Canadian Jacques Villeneuve fell agonisingly short of matching that Triple Crown record after winning the 1995 Indy 500, the

he did ﬁnish runner-up to his South African team-mate at Lotus, Jody Scheckter, in 1979. However, had he ignored the team orders to stay behind Scheckter in the Italian Grand Prix, he may not have ended up four points behind in the title race. Gilles was killed in 1982 following a collision with Jochen Mass in qualifying for the Belgian Grand Prix. The Rosbergs - Coincidentally, also in 1982, Keke Rosberg went on to the win the World

His victory in the Swiss Grand Prix – held at Dijon-Prenois in France – added to podiums in USA West, Belgium, Holland, Germany and Austria ensured he finished five points ahead of his closest rivals Didier Peroni. The Finn raced at Williams for three more years before moving to McLaren in 1986 and retiring from F1 at the end of that season. Rosberg’s son Nico spent seven years at Mercedes and it was his last which was the most successful, finally able to wrest the title from Lewis Hamilton in 2016 before promptly retiring! He managed nine race wins in that season and a secondplace finish in the last race at Abu Dhabi. When he quit the sport as reigning champion, he became the first to do so since the legendary French F1 driver Alain Prost 23 years earlier.

POETRY PAGE

Winter When the geese are ﬂying south And the sky is grey, my dears, Close your eyes, and lift your nose; Listen with your careful ears. Feel the winter coming on, Hear it in the crackling trees; Note the crisping, quivering wind Sharply snapping at their leaves. Feel it on the windowpanes – Chilly glass on ﬁngertips – Mark the biting of the air, Heated breath on numbing lips. See it in the early eves, In the glowing sunset where Shadows of the naked trees Rattle in the biting air. Watch the nuthatch and the wren; They know it is time once more To abandon careful nests, As they’ve done each year before. Let it rest upon your face, Let it reach and pull you in. See how pretty nature is When she ushers winter in. ~ Barbara Vance Source: http://suziebitner.com/

Greenfingers… the Alan Titchmarsh column He’s a brilliant presenter, accomplished gardener, talented novelist and all-round horticultural inspiration. This month, Alan Titchmarsh talks about getting our youngsters involved in gardening projects. I started gardening when I was nine or ten. I made a little greenhouse, tidied edges, mowed the lawn and sowed seeds, which then came up. When I had that little bit of success, it emboldened me to take cuttings and do more, and it all went on from there. To be honest I was obsessed with all things nature - frogs, toads, insects… and the garden is the nearest bit of natural history to us, so I always felt comfortable there and I still do, although I’m not sure the young generation have quite the same connection with the outdoors. In recent years I’ve worked with the Royal Horticultural Society in campaigns for school gardening, and we’ve had over 30,000 schools involved. Particularly at primary level if we can, literally, sow the seed when children are young, get them connected with the earth rather than disconnected and fearful, it will mean we are investing in the future custodians of the landscape. To me, it’s vitally important we

pass on our joy and knowledge. When I was a boy, Percy Thrower presented a programme called Gardening Club on a Friday night – this was way before Gardener’s World. He, along with a junior schoolteacher of mine, Harry Rhodes – who used to sell cacti at the church bazaar – were great inspirations. Indeed, my ﬁrst plants came from Harry. Before he died, he saw me building a career, and one of life’s great delights was knowing that Harry witnessed this little lad he had encouraged to garden getting on, and doing alright. It was an unusual thing for a small boy to be interested in, therefore when you see a young gardener showing a keen interest, you always want to fan the ﬂame. I’m now doing what Percy and Mr Rhodes did.

Of course as you get older, the way you use a garden changes. Just as when I was a boy it was a place of discovery and play, now it’s more a thing of art, beauty and quiet contemplation. What undoubtedly links my present self with that nine-yearold version of me, is stimulation, and that has never changed in all the years I’ve spent outdoors planting this, trimming that. And that’s what’s there for the younger generation. That’s why I feel we should do our utmost to engage young people in the glory of our gardens and outside spaces. With all the other distractions they have nowadays, it feels more important than ever.

STAR GAZING WRITTEN BY KATE EARL

kateearlastro@gmail.com

Welcome to the November Stargazing Page. Highlights this month include the return of Mercury to our morning skies, and how to ﬁnd the farthest object visible with the naked eye. International Space Station The ISS can be spotted from the 1st - 9th early in the morning. It then moves to our evening skies from the 20th and is visible between the very respectable hours of 5.30pm – 7.30pm. To establish exact timings please refer to www.heavens-above.com or a similar webpage for up-to-date information, remembering to set the location to your observing area.

Continued... Although the Andromeda Galaxy is best viewed under a dark, moonless sky, it is still visible under moderately light polluted skies. Use the ﬁgure to help ﬁnd it with the naked eye, and if not clearly visible try with binoculars or a small telescope. (Those of you with keen eyesight and very dark skies might be able to spot the Triangulum Galaxy, which is even further away). Look to the east around 6.30pm throughout November. Find Cassiopeia and the Square of Pegasus quite high in the sky, and use these and the brighter stars in the constellation of Andromeda to locate the galaxies. They will look like small smudges against the dark sky. Try to avoid searching if a bright moon phase is present.

Cassiopeia

Mercury Mercury is visible for the ﬁrst half of November, but you’ll have to be up just before dawn and have a clear view to the east as it doesn’t venture far above the horizon. Venus Venus is still visible in our evening skies low in the southwest, but is setting around 6.30pm. Our neighbour planet appears close to a slender crescent Moon on the 7th and 8th (see ﬁgure). If you have a small telescope Venus will appear ‘half-full’ this month, and is waning to a crescent. Mars The red planet is currently very faint and only just visible before dawn. On the 11th it lies just to the right of much brighter Mercury. Jupiter & Saturn As the sun sets both gas giants are visible in the south. They have disappeared below the horizon by mid to late evening. Moon This month’s full moon occurs on the 19th November and is traditionally known by a variety of names, including Beaver, Frost, Freezing, and Scratching Full Moon. The total lunar eclipse on the 19th is not visible from the UK as it begins as the Moon is setting. Object of the Month November presents a great opportunity to spot the farthest object visible to the naked eye. In fact, it’s not just one object, but several – a whole galaxy in fact! The Andromeda Galaxy is located 2.5 million light years from Earth and is our closest neighbouring major galaxy. It is larger than the Milky Way, containing twice the number of stars. Both galaxies are due to merge in about 4.5 billion years.

I want to share my truths in the hope that maybe they’ll help you too.” Published by Transworld on October 28th My Life in Dire Straits by John Illsley One of the most iconic and important British pop/rock bands of a generation, Dire Straits cracked America at a time when many consistently struggled to engage with the US audience, in the process building a transatlantic fan following that celebrated beautiful tracks, heartfelt anthems and timeless melodies that stand the test of time some four decades on.

Tear ‘n’ Share Sweet Bread Introduction

Although not a traditional festive-themed bake, sweetbreads do tend to come into the ascendancy during the winter months, and this tear ‘n’ share loaf will not only offer a soft, lightly sweetened and buttery bread treat – delicious as toast or as a bigger accompaniment to an evening meal – it’s also sociable and fun. Top it with some butter, jam or even icing, and serve.
