First up is Roger Bottle who has wowed us with his stained glass designs... he wrote: A few years ago I was watching a Monty Don TV programme about mastering traditional arts and crafts.

The making of stained glass windows captured my imagination and the question of what I might do with my leisure time was answered.

The art of stained glass has been around since at least the 11th century. For hundreds of years the craft was mainly reserved for use in places of worship. It is easy to see why the colours that beam through these ancient windows was once considered to be spiritual light direct from heaven.

Nowadays the unique attraction of stained glass can just as easily be found and appreciated in our homes as in the great cathedrals, stately mansions, shopping malls Lily Panel paired with Paul Cox Sculpture and iconic tall buildings of global enterprise. The magic that light creates when seen through coloured glass can be enjoyed just about anywhere and it’s probably safe to say that the art of stained glass is more popular and affordable today than at any time in its long history.

Editorial

A break with tradition.

Apart from that, Mrs Lincoln, how did you enjoy the play?

The play which her husband, the great American president, was watching when he was assassinated was not actually ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’, although it was at least a comedy by an English playwright. Whilst it is doubtful whether anyone actually had the gall to put this question to the recently bereaved widow, the phrase has come into common use as a conversational bridge to lighten the mood when discussing a serious topic. Against the background of a pandemic which (at the time of writing) refuses to go away and which will surely have had an impact on the personal and business lives of all our readers it is only with diffidence that we seek to draw positives from these unprecedented events.

But as previous contributors to the Crier have pointed out, we can count our blessings to be living in ‘Cubbers’, as it is always known in our family. Examples of considerate community-minded actions are almost too numerous to mention.

Our local lockdown walks have been enlivened by many cheerful encounters and exchange of banter with other villagers, whether we knew who they were or not.

In many ways the clock seemed to have been put back and not necessarily for the worse. Like others we have for the first time embraced the idea of growing a good deal of our own food ( lack of either knowledge or skill being no bar) and what we can’t produce ourselves can largely be supplemented by visiting our excellent and friendly local farm shops. The lack of traffic, whether on the roads or in the air, in the initial stages of lockdown made for a quieter, cleaner environment and fostered a heightened appreciation of nature. Above all, life for a while seemed slower and we have all tended to be kinder to each other.

Clearly we can’t go on living in a state of suspended reality forever but let us try to remember what we have learned from this experience when it comes to rebuilding the world.

In the meantime, have a good summer, everybody, and at all costs don’t fail to ‘stay alert’!

Dreaming in the fashion shown on the front cover is definitely to be discouraged.

Great News!

OGA has received a grant from Buckinghamshire Council of £10,000. This is from the Covid Support Monies coming from central government.

Thank you!

To Chris and Maggie Brandon who recently did the ‘Waples Walk’ round the village and cleaned and replaced (as necessary) the way markers.

A specimen tree to further remember Mike is planned for the North Field once planting begins.

The Waples Walk is mapped out on a plinth on the Nob as well as information about Mike himself.

Book Corner

Recommendations from Jane Hill (your local librarian!)

Non-Fiction The Good Immigrant edited by Nikesh Shukla There are obviously lots of antiracism reading lists flying around at the moment, and for good reason. This title currently has the shortest waiting list with Bucks Libraries! It’s a collection of essays from 21 Black, Asian and minority ethnic writers in Britain today: an exploration of why immigrants come to the UK, why they stay, and what it means to live in a country that doesn’t seem to want you.

Fiction for Teens

Poetry England: Poems from a School edited by Kate Clanchy

This is a stunning, raw collection of poetry written by students at Oxford Spires Academy, which has a special focus on teaching poetry.

The poets featured here have come to England from all over the world, and reflect their experiences in clear, fresh, lyrical, poems that are by turns surprisingly entertaining and utterly heartbreaking.

Fiction for Kids

The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas

The New Neighbours by Sarah McIntyre

(most suitable for ages 14+)

(most suitable for ages 4-7)

A sensation when it came out in 2017, this book about the aftermath of police brutality is just as searing and gripping in the current political moment.

16 year old Starr moves between the worlds of her rich, majority-white school and the run-down neighbourhood where she lives. When her friend Khalil is shot, unarmed, by a police officer, her worlds violently collide. His death is a headline, protesters are taking to the streets in his name, and everyone wants Starr to tell them what really happened. What she chooses to do next could change her community, and endanger her life.

A bright, bouncy picture book about the ugliness of prejudice and getting along with people different to us.

A family of rats have moved into the tower block, and the bunnies are excited! But other families in the block are worried — won’t the rats be dirty and smelly, aren’t they usually thieves? Maybe they should all go downstairs and knock on their door, just to check…

1.What did you want to be when you grew up?

A journalist. I had been struck by the fact that Neville Cardus had been simultaneously the chief cricket writer and music critic of the Manchester Guardian and I thought that this must have been a wonderful life.

Unfortunately my prose lacked his quality and verve.

2. What was your first job?

Assistant groundsman at a public school at 20p per hour, I loved it, particularly driving the tractor.

3. Who would you like to have dinner with and why?

Barack Obama, to ask what can be done to clear up the mess made by his successor. Naturally the wonderful Michelle would be invited too. ( Answer submitted after due consultation with my wife who vetoed certain other ideas) 4. What historical era would you like to have lived in and why?

The Victorian era would have been exciting for its booming industry, its discoveries, inventions and the exploration of the world. But I would only have wanted to live then if i could have played some part in achieving all that progress, rather than working in a factory run by Murdstone , Bounderby or some other Dickensian monster.

5. Where would you want to live if not here and why?

The West coast of Scotland. I love the combination of mountains and the sea and there are many excellent eateries in which to while away the long summer evenings after a strenuous day on the hills.

6. What is the temptation you wish you could resist?

It has to be Terry’s Chocolate Orange 7. What is your favourite book and why?

My favourite novel is probably Jane Eyre. As regards non-fiction I am currently reading Into the Silence by Wade Davis, a devastating account of the early British expeditions to Everest and how they were conceived partly as a reaction to WW1. What a generation they were!

8. Favourite song and why?

An die Musik by Schubert. A beautiful tune set to words about the power of music. Says it all in two and a half minutes.

9. What is the pet hate that makes your hackles rise?

There is probably enough out there to fill a book! Let’s just say that anything to do with reality TV and/or ‘celebrity’ culture is not quite for me.

10. What is the unlikely interest that engages your curiosity?

Learning Italian 11. How long have you lived in Cublington?

Six years

4 years ago last week...

Amazingly (well I think so) on the 23rd June, 4 years ago, the unexpected Brexit vote happended.

Doesn’t time fly and hasn’t a lot happened since then!

Orchard Ground News & general items of interest • The Cricket Club continues to cut and maintain the grass areas of Orchard Ground in spite of the fact their competitive season has been wiped out. Our thanks to them for keeping up the mowing of communal areas. The cricket nets are now open on a booking system basis. See announcement elsewhere. The tennis courts are also now open. See also ad and guidelines elsewhere.

• M artyn Waters Reports about the latest grants OGA has received a grant from Buckinghamshire Council of £10,000. This is from the covid support monies coming from central government. Initially we thought that OGA was outside of this scheme, but thanks to the advice and persistence from Sophie O’Toole who heads up the girls and ladies cricket with CCC, a quiet simple application was submitted to Buckinghamshire Council and the money is now in the OG bank account. A wide range of support grants are being made available via local authorities at this current time.

OG will have a major shortfall in it’s income for this year, as in past years a donation of £1,000 has been forthcoming from the village fete (cancelled) and the quiz night (cancelled) at the end of March would have raised approx £1,000 net, when we take into account the cash bar takings and the list of those who had bought tickets! A barn dance was also planned for later in the summer, together with loss of income from rents and bookings.

The Sport England Grant of £1,940 will go some way towards the utilities, running costs, maintenance etc. for the period March to end July but this current situation of social distancing and restrictions on the size of gatherings is not likely to end soon. In addition, OGC made a commitment to match the £1,500 offered from Cublington Parish Council towards the planning application costs for North Field, so OG has a forward commitment to spend £1,500 for this.

The Tree Council has a new grant scheme for community organisations to encourage tree planting between Nov 2020 and March 2021. Grants from £300 - £1500 max, the Tree Council grants can be for trees, hedging and fruit trees; also stakes, ties, mulch etc. but they will not pay VAT/delivery costs. All trees/hedges must have certificates of providence and biosecurity; only native trees will meet the criteria and they must be in keeping with local flora.

All grant monies to be claimed by 31st March 2020 We could explore a grant towards the community orchard and several ‘feature trees’ to start to give North Field some structure. We will be putting in an application

• 100 Club 2020/21 Draws will take place once sellers are allowed to knock on doors and sell the remaining tickets. Meanwhile, if you would like to buy a ticket and support the developments at Orchard Ground and the new North Field, tickets are priced £12 for 10 draws with (last year) £140 in prizes every draw. This raises over £1500 for OG funds and has been a valuable source of funds from the beginning.

Please email Bob to reserve your ticket as door to door selling is currently inadvisable.

See ad elsewhere for more details.

• E asyfundraising - raise funds as you shop online while self isolating!! This has so far raised over £783.69 for Orchard Ground - We now have 36 villagers participating (12 more than a year ago! but surely there’s more of you who buy online?!) - Villagers who buy goods online could raise money for Orchard Ground for doing nothing other than a couple of clicks.

We appeal to you to help us boost our numbers. See opposite or please speak to Bob Paine for more information on how to set it up - or see posters in the Biggs Pavilion.

• Your OG Committee currently is: Colin Antosiewicz, Chairman; Liz Smith, Treasurer; Vanessa Verity, Secretary; Jason Taylor, Maintenance; Bob Paine, Bookings & Allotments; Michael Reilly, Cricket & Parish Council; Gary Brazier, Tennis & General; Martyn Waters, North Field; Pippa Cheetham North Field; Miranda Gregory, Events; Lucy Peck, General

New committee members always wanted. Please volunteer to help on this committee if you can spare the odd hour or two every month. Minutes of AGM available on Cublington.com • D ate of next meeting: TBA in the meantime via email concensus.

Of Confluences and Conflicts by ‘Old Rambler’ They say that if you remember the Sixties and Seventies, you weren’t there.

I was reminded of this aphorism while I was exploring some of the local footpaths during the lockdown. Acting on a recommendation from Mr Joy, I took the ‘permissive footpath’ (how very Sixties) beginning on the Stewkley road and was fascinated by the progress of the little stream which meanders to the North of the village. The undulating nature of the terrain, together with the feeling one gets of being in the middle of nowhere, is such that it seems a hydrological impossibility for the stream to go anywhere at all, but it very definitely does find its way, making an appearance where it passes under the Whitchurch Road roughly a mile West of the village.

Somehow the stream’s successful emergence triggered, from the fog of the Seventies, a long suppressed memory of one of Monty Python’s more surreal sketches, which had made an impression on my fervid adolescent mind. It was the one in which a band of football supporters sing, to a foursquare marching tune, of their love and admiration for the river Yangtse. The song contained such immortal lines as

his men in battle despite having a numerical advantage over his adversaries. I was enthralled to read of this encounter and pictured Prince Rupert and the long haired, devil-may-care supporters of the King on their steeds, their rapiers glinting in the autumn sunlight, charging recklessly at the militant, close-cropped, Psalm-chanting Roundheads with their muskets primed and loaded.

In 1818, human remains were found near Holman’s Bridge by labourers digging pits for gravel. They were assumed to be those of participants in the battle and were taken to the nearest consecrated ground at St Mary’s Church in Hardwick where they were reinterred. The churchyard contains a plaque (see photo) with a tribute to the 247 persons whose remains had been uncovered. The wording on the plaque is quite hard to make out, and in any case is too long to reproduce here in full, but I was rather moved on reading the following “ Enemies from their attachment to opposite leaders and to opposite standards in the sanguinary conflicts of that civil war they were together victims to its fury united in one common slaughter”

“Passing through Chung King Wuhan* and Hoo Kow, Three thousand miles But it gets there somehow” ( * yes, that place) I got out my trusty O.S. map and traced the course of our local stream and learnt that it joins the infant river Thame just North of Aylesbury. (Naturally, this will be old hat to every Cublingtonian but please bear with me as a relative newcomer to the area). From there it flows past Thame and Wheatley to a confluence with the mighty Thames itself at Dorchester. If you were to place a rubber duck in the current of our local stream, with any luck it would after a few days be bobbling majestically under Tower Bridge on its way out to sea. I looked on our little stream with new-found respect.

Closer examination on the map of the area where the stream joins the Thame revealed another discovery – a battleground! What could this possibly be? With mounting excitement I elicited the help of Google and discovered that on 1 November 1642 there had been an engagement between Royalist and Parliamentary forces at Holman’s Bridge, which resulted in a clear victory for the Parliamentarians.

Now I am quite sure that local historians will have covered this from every angle and that this is yet more old hat to the readers of the Crier – indeed, there are possibly households in Cublington where they speak of little else. But as a newcomer I was intrigued by this unexpected find and resolved to pay a visit to inspect the said battleground. I was not sure what to expect. Perhaps it would be on the lines of the Visitor Centre at Culloden where they have a 360 degree ‘battle immersion theatre’, a museum of artefacts, a shop selling jewellery and whisky, a café and all the rest.

Well, it was not like that at all. Of any battle there was not a single trace, just pleasant waterside meadows where the grass grows high, bounded by a housing development to the North and a Premier Inn and the Horse and Jockey pub to the South. I imagine most of us pass by there regularly and do not give it a moment’s thought.

But it did at least clear up in my mind why there is a Prince Rupert Drive in the vicinity. Prince Rupert of the Rhine (was there ever a more romantically named military man?) was, as every schoolboy knows, a Royalist cavalry commander during the English civil war and a nephew of King Charles I for good measure. According to some accounts of that day in 1642 Prince Rupert lost 500 of

On my return I decided to read more about the battle of Holman’s Bridge and was dismayed to learn that there is now some dispute between historians regarding the scale of the battle and that some have even expressed doubts as to whether it took place at all. The 247 bodies interred at Hardwick may, according to some, have actually been from a different historical era, possibly victims of the plague. My dreams were crushed. It has been suggested that the accounts of the battle were no more than Parliamentary propaganda (the very idea!) and some contemporaneous evidence does point to Prince Rupert being in Abingdon, 25 miles distant, on the day in question. It has even been suggested, a little cynically, that the revisionist doubts surrounding the battle may have been helpful to the developers of recent years when seeking permission to construct the Buckingham Gate development on the grounds of the supposed encounter. What actually happened on that day – was it a full-blown battle, a mere skirmish or nothing at all? Was the epitaph writer at Hardwick labouring under a fundamental misapprehension? The answers to these questions are seemingly now lost in the mists of time. I suppose we can all make up our own minds as to what happened, but I know which version of history I prefer.

Perhaps then it is not just the Sixties and Seventies that people can’t remember too clearly. Some collective amnesia may have been doing the rounds in the years following the ‘battle’, although given that that period marked the high point of Puritanism, it probably cannot be put down to excessive use of hallucinogenic substances.

It leads one to wonder what the historians will eventually make of the year 2020. Will it be prove to be the year in which the world changed, and if so was it for better or for worse? For now, we can only hope and trust that our stumbling government eventually leads us to the new normality, whatever that may turn out to be. Like the Yangtse, we will get there somehow.

More collective nouns...

A Gang of Elks

A Bike of Bees

A Huddle of Walruses

It’s amusing to imagine a swarm of bees flying in bicycle formation, but the real reason this is a collective noun for bees is because the word “bike” is an old English word which means a colony, nest, or swarm.

a Family of Sardines a Glaring of Cats a Rhumba of Rattlesnakes

If you’ve ever seen two male rattlesnakes fighting in competition for dominance of a female, you’ll understand why a “rhumba” has been used as the collective noun for this venomous reptile. There’s a lot of slow, deliberate weaving followed by quick, sharp movements that closely resemble the slow-quick-quick pattern of the American Rhumba dance.

A Mess of Iguanas

To understand why a group of iguanas is called a “mess”, you just need to look. In the wild, iguanas lie intertwined in large groups and it can be difficult to see where one iguana ends and another begins. The reason for this is that iguanas are cold-blooded so they regulate their body temperature by basking in the sun.

An Army of Caterpillars

This collective noun likely describes the behaviours exhibited by caterpillars when they travel in large groups. What’s great about these armies of caterpillars is that they’re incredibly well organised. They participate in cooperative foraging for food, group defence against predators, shelter building & thermoregulation.

A nest of rumours

A nest of rumours is the only collective noun on this list that’s not related to animals. We love this one because it evokes the image of a hidey-hole where scandalous information is being amassed – undoubtedly for later use.

Yes, a group of elk is called a gang. Groups of elk may have been labelled as gangs because elk bulls do something called ‘bugling’ – loud screaming which can be heard for miles and miles. What a bunch of thugs!

A group of walruses can also be called a ‘herd’ or a ‘pod’, but we like ‘huddle’ best. Walruses are most often found sunbathing on land or sea ice with hundreds of their companions. Walruses are very sociable creatures and even amass in their thousands in mating season. What’s also interesting is that these huddles are often segregated by gender –males have their own huddles and females have their own huddles.

A Bed of Clams

A group of clams is known collectively as a ‘bed’ of clams. This collective noun conjured up an image of hundreds of clams cosily sleeping side-by-side. ‘A bed of ’ can also be used to describe a group of snakes, oysters or flowers.

A Shiver of Sharks

One of our favourite collective nouns on the list is the name for a group of sharks – a ‘shiver’. We think it could be suggestive of what happens to a person who stumbles across a group of sharks while out swimming. Or it could relate to the fact that most sharks are cold-blooded.

A Crash of Rhinoceroses

One of the best and most well-known of all collective nouns is a ‘crash’ of rhinoceroses. Rhinos gather on the African grassy plains in groups of up to twelve. However, the collective noun was most likely inspired by the rhino’s tendency to charge at anything unfamiliar, although fights between rhinos are rare because male rhinos (or bulls) tend to avoid each other unless they are competing for the same female.

Bucks Council Refuse Sites - read this before visiting Most will be aware that there are restrictions in place about disposal of Household Waste at our sites in Aylesbury either Rabans Lane or off the A41 towards Tring.

However I am writing to make others aware so that they do not make the same mistake that I did yesterday.

The site at Rabans Lane is not open Wednesday or Thursday. Certainly best time to visit is late Sunday afternoon as it is open until 1800, there was absolutely no-one around at all. I visited yesterday 31st May to find that although it states on the details that you need Proof of Address - Only Buckinghamshire residents will be allowed to use the sites. There are 3 sites in our area Aston Clinton College Road North exit off the A41 Aston Clinton bypass

Open 9-1800 shut

Yonder Slade, Buckingham Industrial Park, Buckingham MK18 1RZ

Open 9-1800 daily

Make sure you only take your Council Tax Advice because our address is Leighton Buzzard Beds I had to explain that we are actually in Bucks, and the man checking my authenticity to use the site was going to refuse entry. Thankfully I have the bin app downloaded on my phone – this is downloadable from the app store Aylesbury Vale Bins - which meant I was able to prove I DO live in Bucks. So be warned.

Also again if – like me – you do not read everything that drops in your email in box - you may have missed a very important fact that as of April 2019 these sites will charge you to dispose certain items.

Also there may be a wait so take something to do whilst sitting in the queue. Do remember too if you are looking at your phone whilst waiting. Turn the engine off and take the keys out – it is illegal to have the engine running and look at your phone.

Did you know???

Lockdown facts explained Lockdown’s emissions lull may only make 1/100th degrees centigrade difference

Everyone is noticing the clearer days and the absence of a pollution haze across our skies. But has lockdown had a lasting effect on the environment? Dr Zeke Housfather, Director of Climate and Energy at The Breakthrough Institute, suggests not. Even assuming a second wave of the virus and, therefore, a protracted lockdown, emissions could reduce by just 5% overall.

As Dr Housfather notes, “the effects of CO2 on the climate are cumulative, so what matters isn’t how much we emit in a particular year, what matters is how much we emit over the next hundred years.” That 5% reduction in emissions could have an impact equivalent to “maybe 1/100th of a degree centigrade by the end of the century, or a couple of hundreths. A tiny difference in global temperatures.”

Car use time travelled us back to the 1950s

While the reduction in CO2 mentioned above might feel a little underwhelming, it’s worth reflecting a little more on what has happened on UK roads during the lockdown. “Reduction in road vehicle activity has taken us back to levels similar to the 1950s,” explains Dr David Carslaw, a reader in urban air pollution at the University of York. He adds: “in terms of emissions…we’ve probably gone back to the early 1900s.”

Birds are likely to be singing half as loudly during lockdown, even though we can hear them more clearly!

Not only do the skies appear clearer under lockdown, sounds are sharper too. Many of us are being woken by a dawn chorus of birds that seems more on song than ever before. This apparent volume increase could be springtime-assisted, or relative to less background noise, because of fewer cars and planes. Dr Sue Ann Zolinger of the Department of Natural Sciences at Manchester Metropolitan University says that there is something else in the mix too – the Lombard effect.

This phenomenon is the tendency to speak more loudly to compensate for increased background noise. It also applies to birdsong, and the reverse rule also follows. After taking recordings of chiffchaffs, Zollinger noted that “the birds were singing at 61 decibels when there was no background noise, and when a plane went overhead at 71 decibels and the chiffchaff increased its singing amplitude to about 66 decibels – that’s a doubling in amplitude. So, it’s a good assumption that birds are probably singing quieter than they usually do.”

Contrary to popular belief, birdsong is probably quieter during lockdown,

The coronavirus weakens after one metre

Virus particles of five microns or more are taken down by gravity after about a metre, with finer, less infectious, particles able to go further.

Standing two metres apart has become second nature to most of us, but how did we arrive at social distancing? Professor of

Infectious Diseases, Werner Ernst Bischoff explains that virus particles of five microns or more are taken down by gravity after about a metre, with finer, less infectious, particles able to go further. There are some variations in the advice, with Japan advocating 1.8 metres and the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) in the US advising six feet. Crucially, all of these are above one metre, of course!

Only 6% of UK households were ever panic buying

Scenes of panic buying in supermarkets first reached us from Australia, and then trended on social media for a long time during the early lockdown period. But did we really all lose the plot at the checkout? Fraser McKevitt, Head of Retail and Consumer Insight at business data provider Kantar, reveals that “only 6% of [UK] households showed any sign of what you might call stockpiling behaviour, and bought more in one week than they had ever bought in any week before.” One of the ‘holy grail items’ – dried pasta - only registered a 3% on the stockpiling scale. McKevitt puts the ‘panic’ down to us all buying a few extra items.

No 2020 baby boom is coming

There’s a popular conception that when the world stands still, the birth rate increases – for example the blackouts in New York of 1965 and 2003, and the aftermath of 9/11. However, this conception is a misconception, according to Dr Marina Adshade of theUniversity of British Colombia. One of the main drivers for extra births is teenage pregnancies, but, as Dr Adshade says, “you can’t get pregnant over Snapchat.”

Meanwhile, people in committed relationships are, as Dr Adsahe remarks, likely to be asking whether now would really be the best time to start a family. Nevertheless, there are some reasons why the birth rate might climb. “A lot of contraceptives are made in China, so almost immediately there was a shortage,” notes Dr Adshade, “and then, in the last couple of weeks, we’re hearing about condom factories being shut down, and so that is a valid reason to think there might be more unplanned pregnancies.”

Freight rolls on despite a period where one in ten HGV drivers and one in six van drivers were off work

While economic activity has markedly declined across many sectors, the demands on supermarkets and online stores is high and so, consequently, is the continuing reliance on the freight network. Inevitably, illness has hit the sector. At one point, one in ten HGV drivers and one in six van drivers were off work.

This has forced the sector to innovate. Elizabeth de Jongh, Director of Policy at the Freight Transport Association, reveals that drivers from sectors that are dormant have been recruited to help, so someone who normally delivers food to restaurants could now be doing that for supermarkets. “This has been a real ‘come together’ of the logistics industry.”

The number of people working from home has trebled, but for how long?

Over the course of nine months, the study found that working from home increased productivity by the equivalent of almost an extra day a week.

Before the Coronavirus pandemic, 15% of the working population were working from home. The percentage before

the easing of the lockdown was around 44%, prompting many observers to ponder the likelihood of a permanent change to working patterns. The notion was given more impetus when Twitter announced it would allow its staff to work from home indefinitely. However, more attention is being paid to effects that home working can have on mental health. Professor of Economics at Stanford, Nicholas A. Bloom cites a 2014 work from home (WFH) study commissioned by travel company Ctrip. Over the course of nine months, the study found that WFH increased productivity by the equivalent of almost an extra day a week. On the downside, however, over half the participants said that they were keen to get back to the office, citing reasons of loneliness, isolation and depression.

and yet More collective nouns...

Horde of Hamsters

What makes this collective noun so hilarious is that it conjures up images of an army or tribe of primitive warriors. We’d be far more likely to relate a ‘horde’ of something with a group of zombies, goblins or orcs – not a group of small, fluffy rodents!

A Kindle of Kittens

The collective noun for a group of kittens is known as a kindle. It relates to the verb to kindle which means ‘to give birth to young’.

One third of employees under 25 work in vulnerable sectors

It may take some considerable time for the economic impact of the Coronavirus pandemic to be truly known. One thing seems certain, the youngest have been the hardest hit. Xiaowei Xu, Senior Research Economist from the Institute for Fiscal Studies, notes that one-third of employees under 25 work in retail, hospitality and arts and leisure - the most affected sectors. She adds: “This is important because we know from previous evidence that periods of unemployment at the start of people’s careers can have long lasting effects on their future earnings and employment.”

Post Office services It has been many years since Cublington last had a functioning Post Office and now seems like a good time to bring it back. For those of you who don't know I run an online jewellery business so I am still trying to send out orders on a daily basis from Wingrave Post Office. Visit www.colortjewellery.com to see what we have to offer (Shameless plug).

In order to reduce the need of residents having to go to the Post Office I don't mind taking letters , parcels and Online order returns to Wingrave Post Office. But if you need to use the other services offered by the Post Office I can do those on residents behalf too, some may be more tricky than others but I am sure that we can sort something out, I have worked closely with Deva at Wingrave for nearly 5 years now and he is very accommodating and helpful. I also have his phone number in case we have any questions. Wingrave Post Office also has a fully stocked shop too so if any residents require anything from there as well I can pick these up too. Again if residents require anything specific please let me know and I will se what Deva has to offer.

Here is how it will work: 1) If a resident has something they would like from the Post Office they can send me a message. If they are not sure on price I can advise them on which service to use and how much it would likely cost.

2) If it requires wrapping I can do this as well as I have extensive stocks of Brown paper, bubble wrap, boxes and tape.

3) They can leave the item on their doorstep for me to pick up.

4) If a resident requires a service I can contact Wingrave to see if they can offer it.

5) I can keep a record of how much I have spent then we can settle up later.

6) I usually go to the Post Office at around 4PM everyday Monday to Friday.

I hope that this helps as it felt like a sensible situation to removing the need for more people having to go to the Post Office than is absolutely necessary.

Sadly we will not be having domestic categories this year, apologies to all those who have perfected black cherry jam, we will also be asking all entrants to collect their produce and will not be putting any on sale.

The catalogue of the event will be delivered in August In the hope that things will be clearer then and there are no restrictions preventing an outside event taking place.

Do come and join this fun and social event. You have the next 2 months to nurture your produce, encourage your sunflower into maximum growth (I will come round and measure in situ the week before the Show) and cajole your Dahlias

Thanks to The Unicorn who have donated a meal for 2 for the Growers Cup winner.

Cublington folk Well I never...

I had an email from April Curnow who had had a phone call from an old school chum, who had relayed the fact that Mike Brazier (East Barnet Old Grammarian) was staying in Cublington. He’d seen an article in a magazine. Turns out April is an old student too and knows dad. The chap who phoned was the brother of dads old business partner. What a small world!

Cublington Cricket Club News Cublington Cricket Club have continued to plan for a season with a massive amount of work maintaining the Orchard Ground. It is hoped some games may be able to be played later in the summer as lockdown eases and life begins to get back to the new normal.

Under ECB guidance we now have a single net open for family groups, which can be booked via Tom Gadsby on 07527989639.

Strict protocols are in place and must be adhered to. A huge thanks to Tim and James Taylor for their work in grass cutting, hedge trimming and general ground enhancement.

Thanks to all who have helped. We are blessed with great members with a great community spirit.

Cublington Crafters Latest Update

Cublington Crafters and Friends have Knitted and Crocheted bobble hats, to send out to our ‘twin craft group’ Schwe To Go, in South Africa. They will be distributed to families who have been badly affected by the Covid19 restrictions and loss of tourist incomes to the area. Families do not have state help, and many are having problems providing food for their families and, as we enjoy our summer, it is their wintertime, and there is a need for warm clothes. We have made donations via the local charity, Acts of Mercy, linked to St Johns at 24 Rivers towards food and coats and jumpers, and felt that some handmade hats would give a personal link with the community.

Orchard Ground North Field Planning Update We have been so lucky to have been able to use North Field during lockdown and it has really fired up some enthusiasm to move the project forward. The hope is that we will be able to start tree planting this Autumn but first, we have to get through the planning system...

A planning application has now been submitted to Buckinghamshire Council for, “Change of use from grazing to amenity land incorporating new tree planting, laying compacted stone paths, installation of outdoor exercise equipment, expansion of the existing 5-a-side pitch to a mini soccer pitch, installation of bench seating and picnic benches, installation of dog waste bins, enhancement of wildlife pond and the creation of a viewing platform, creation of hibernacular and erection of a timber bridge footpath crossing of the existing field ditch.”

The reference number is 20/01995/APP and you can use this to log on to the Council’s website to view the application and make your comments at https:/ publicaccess.aylesburyvaledc.gov.uk/online-applications//search. do?action=simple&searchType=Application Obviously, we hope that you see this as a positive step for the village but all comments are welcome - both in support of and objecting to the application. The period of public consultation expires on Monday 20th July 2020 and comments will need to be made before then.

Any queries or problems, please let me know via pippacheetham@aol.com or 07881 953124 Pippa OG Planning Co-ordinator
