Happy New Year Swanage!

We hade a great Christmas with my Mum and Dad here, having travelled from Hull in the North. Hayden had his first early Christmas, coming into our room at a wonderful 4:15am...

Oh dear... He said something very funny just before Christmas, ”You know Mummy some people think that Santa is their PARENTS! I know it is definitely NOT you two… because you like…” and then he started snoring! With a wry smile I politely agreed that I liked my sleep… I guess we cannot travel the planet as we are too lazy! I am sure you have stories yourselves of similar comments. Please do send some in and we can publish them to make us all smile. There is a little joke about Santa inside… the ladies will find it funny, and the men may smile too!

The Swanage Oracle has had a very good year.

Talking about wildlife with

Water Voles The water vole is the largest type of vole.

When fully grown, its body reaches a length of between 14cm and 22cm, with a tail length of between 9.5cm and 14cm. They have chestnut-brown fur, which means they are sometimes mistaken for the brown rat hence ‘Ratty’ in The Wind in the Willows.

However, this endangered critter can be distinguished from its relative. The water vole is identified by its short, blunt nose, its long hair-covered tail, and small, rounded ears, which lie nestled within their fur.

The water vole’s ideal habitat consists of a slow moving body of water - a ditch, river, l a k e o r po nd - s ur r o un d ed by l us h vegetation. Banks of reeds and grass provide the water vole with protection and are intertwined by these strong swimmers to create extensive burrows. These contain chambers which are used to store food and build nests, and are built on numerous floor levels to guard against flooding.

Unfortunately, these intricate waterline burrows do not stop the invasion of predators. Entire colonies of wa t er v o l es hav e bee n destroyed by the non-native American mink, an active predator which is small enough to fit through the n a r r o w e nt r a n c es . T hi s indiscriminate hunter poses a s er i o us t hr e a t t o t h e survival of the water vole.

suffered a 95% decline in their population range since 1960 and recent surveys on the River Allen in east Dorset have found a worrying decline in the population there.

Work is already underway to target the threat of the American mink; volunteers have been trained to look out for otters, which are crucial in driving this species away.

However, predators are not the only cause of this decline. The water vole is also threatened by alien plants, such as the Himalayan Balsam, and the destruction of various habitats, a side effect of common agricultural techniques such as heavy grazing.

You can help by reporting any sightings of water voles or mink to Dorset Wildlife Trust by phone on 01202 692033 or by email at abroom@dorsetwildlifetrust.org.uk. For more information, visit the website at dorsetwildlifetrust.org/dorsetwildrivers.

The Purbeck Association of The National Trust Once again it’s the start of a new year and like Janus, the old Roman god after whom the month is named, we’re looking both backward and forward.

Looking back we’ve had a good year, enjoying ourselves at our talks, visits and social events. As usual we only had one event in December, as people are usually so busy with Christmas preparations. This was our Christmas lunch and once again we had a splendid time at the Dorset Golf & Country Club (see picture).

Looking forward, we have 30 more talks, visits and social events already planned for 2012.

Amongst our visits are one to A La Ronde (a unique 16-sided house in Devon), one to the New Forest Show and one to Cothay Manor in Somerset (featured in Channel 4’s Country House Rescue). Our social events include a skittles evening, a lunchtime fish & chips quiz, a barbecue and exclusive hotpot lunches in Corfe Castle Tea Rooms.

Why not get more out of your own National Trust membership (or your status as a Trust Volunteer) by joining us? Our annual membership is great value at only £5, or £7.50 for a couple.

If you’d like to, call Membership Secretary Jay Burke on 423775 or visit our website www.purbecknt.org.uk, where you can see our whole programme of activities.

Looking Backwards and Forwards A new month! A new year! – and as we begin the age-old sequence of months of the year again, we step into a name-tradition that goes back over two and a half thousand years!

And the names are fascinating.

Almost seven centuries before Christ, the very earliest Roman calendar had only ten months – and astonishingly they simply had a two-month namegap in the middle of winter. So to put things right, one of their ancient rulers, decided to add a couple of months – and he called them Januarius and Februarius.

January, as we call it, was named after the old god of doors and beginnings.

He had two faces: one looking forward and one looking backward.

February, however, comes from a word meaning ‘purify’, because this was when the Romans practised religious rites of purification.

However, even with these two new months, people still thought of the year beginning in March – and indeed we still do (almost) when we begin our financial year in April.

The months were still chaotic even centuries later, so Julius Caesar decided to tidy everything up and made a superbly rational system with the days of each month going alternately 31 and 30, even including February. In this system, in leap years, February had just 29.

SO January 2012 page 10

In Julius Caesar’s time, July was still called ‘Quintilis’ (the ‘fifth month’) and August was still called ‘Sextilis’ (the ‘sixth month’) – but such was Caesar’s reputation that ‘Quintilis’ was quickly re-named ‘Julius’ – which became our ‘July’.

Alas, Caesar’s neat system was to last only a very short time – because when his successor Augustus Caesar came along, he was so jealous of Julius that he arrogantly re-named ‘Sextilis’ after himself! Worse still, he insisted that ‘August’ – his month – should have 31 days, to equal that of July. Predictably, this threw the whole year into chaos again, and we’ve lived with it ever since! Poor February was robbed of its full quota!

In parts of northern Europe, untouched by Rome, the months had much more picturesque names. The old Saxons called January ‘Wulfmonath’ because this was when ravenous wolves would be likely to raid their villages. February was ‘Sprout-kale’, when cabbages would sprout. March was ‘Hlyd-monath’ because of its storms. April was ‘Eostur-monath’ after the goddess of fertility. May was ‘Thromilchi’, when cows could be milked three times a day. June was called ‘Litha’ (but nobody knows why!).

Wednesday, January 04, 2012 12:06 Black Magenta Yellow Cyan

Find us online at www.swanageoracle.co.uk Then came ‘Maed-monath’ (mead month) or July, when meadows were flourishing. August was either ‘Weodmonath’ (weed month) or ‘Sceremonath’ (the month for shearing sheep). ‘Harvest-monath’ speaks for itself. ‘Winterfylleth’, or the full moon, was October. ‘Blod-monath’ is perhaps the most interesting name, as being Blood Month, when the cattle were slaughtered for winter food. And finally, December, the month of Christmas, was called ‘Heligh-monath’, or Holy Month.

Personally, I much prefer these lovely old Saxon names, and only wish we could go back to them… but sadly,

11

we’re stuck with the Latin words and those bickering old Romans….

(Incidentally, 2012 is a ‘Leap Year’ with an ‘intercalary day’. It ‘leaps’ because any anniversary after that date misses or ‘leaps over’ a day of the week!)

SWANAGE DISABLED CLUB We are now beginning our third year as Swanage Disabled Club.

Many thanks to you the members for your continued support by coming to meetings and introducing your friends to either Handiclub or Happy Circleon alternate Monday afternoons.

We start our new year on Monday 9th January 2012 at The Catholic Hall and look forward to seeing you all after the festive break and new faces are always welcome.

Contact Daphne Saville on 01929 425241 for more information.

We continue to receive local generosity firstly by The Lions Club for the use of a beach hut, then with a cheque for £400 last September from The Carnival & Regatta Committee. Also this year we are being included as one of the Mayor’s charities. It must have been the dinosaurs on the bus during the carnival that did it! We raised over £1,500 on our sea-front stalls, all achieved by members and helpers hard work during the year producing items for sale.

Thank you. The money raised enables us to treat our members for outings and a Christmas Lunch at a local hotel, and of course keeps our Care Bus available for our clubs and other organisations.

Our special thanks must go to the Care Bus drivers and escorts who are always cheerful, caring and ready to help with all our meetings and outings, plus any extra times when th e bu s is re qu ire d by other organisations and clubs. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Many members are brought to the meetings by car, thank you to their drivers also.

We wish you all a Healthy and Happy New Year to everyone who so generously supports Swanage Disabled Club.

JACK AND THE BEANSTALK THE BOURNEMOUTH PAVILION PANTOMIME This year UK Productions brought you ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’, as the Bournemouth Pavilion Pantomime.

We were lucky enough to get to see a performance and also talk to those prize winners who won tickets and saw the show.

We followed the hilarious tale of the ups and downs of young Jack Trott played by Debra Stevenson (The Impressions Show & Coronation Street). Along with the other cast members, one of the highlights we all noticed was the quality of the singing.

Right from the start we were all in the panto spirit.

Especially when Jack’s less than bright brother Silly Billy played by CBeebies star and now Bournemouth panto favourite Chris Jarvis came along. The Good Fairy, Kate Weston from Wave 105, gave a great showing for local talent (together with her magical wave!) and Jack’s long-suffering mother Dame Trott was played absolutely hilariously by Nick Wilton who is better known as Mr Lister from EastEnders.

The villain of the piece was the evil giant’s nasty henchman Fleshcreep played by Brian Capron (Coronation Street’s bad boy Richard Hillman). No one had a problem in booing every time he appeared on stage!

SO January 2012 page 20

Add all of that to the plentiful audience participation, including the rendition of “Moo-moo land” for the family cow, Daisy, that Jack had to rescue from the Giant, and a great time was had by all.

According to our source at BH Live, tickets were bought in record numbers yet again, so let’s see what next year has to offer!

Thank you to all those who took the effort to contact us with their comments.
