Hello Readers!
Phew, what a summer! Hopefully you’ve all managed to stay safe and well during the record-breaking temperatures that hit us during July and August. I had the pleasure of watching some international test cricket this summer, but must confess it was a challenge to stay focused on the game with the sun beating down inexorably. Even the many seasoned cricket spectators found the prospect of sitting out for more than an hour too much to bear and retired to the cooler confines of the bars and cafes. Despite my best efforts, I found myself joining them after a couple of hours! We’ve got a jam-packed edition for you this time around with more local news than ever. I'm sure many of us have been out and about making the most of the fine weather, but I wonder how many of you have visited the Sholing Valleys Study Centre? People from as far away as Oxford and Reading have been beating a trail to it - if you read our article on page 6 you may see why. As this edition also covers November, I’m mindful that, as well as Guy Fawkes Night, we’re also remembering the millions of men and women who have made enormous sacrifices in the service of our country. On November 11th at 11am, we will remember them. For details on this year’s poppy appeal and commemorations, please see page 19. Summer may be more or less over, but there’s still plenty to keep you busy, so enjoy all the autumn activities in the area - many of which are in our What’s on section in the centre of the edition. I’ll see you next time when there will be less than 30 shopping days until Christmas!

RARE SIGHTING AT SHOLING VALLEYS STUDY CENTRE There has been great excitement at the Miller’s Pond Local Nature Reserve over the past few months with news of a rare bird making a guest appearance. The very rare night heron was spotted recently by Nigel Prior, who snapped a cracking image of the night heron that has been causing quite a stir at Miller's Pond. Sholing Valleys Centre continues to grow in popularity, attracting people from far and wide, according to centre staff. “It’s lovely that so many people have been visiting the site,” said a spokesperson. “We’ve spoken to people who’ve come from as far away as Reading, Oxfordshire and Wiltshire.” ‘Apple Day’ is next on the agenda at the centre – and no, you don’t need to bring your old phones or computers – this Apple Day is all about celebrating the glorious apple that adorns many English gardens as well as orchards up and down the land. Apple experts will be on hand to identify species of apples. There will be helpful tips on the day, as well as the opportunity to bring your unwanted apples and turn them into 100% apple juice. See page 12 for more details.

HOW THE CONSTELLATIONS WERE NAMED Sometimes called the oldest constellation, Taurus the Bull can be seen in the Northern Hemisphere during the winter and early spring. The red giant star Aldebaran makes up one of the Bull’s eyes. Some researchers believe that the cave paintings in France dated to 17,000 years ago may have shown the constellation Taurus and the Pleiades (Seven Sisters). Hipparchus (c.190 – 120 BCE), sometimes called "the greatest astronomer of antiquity", is credited with the first known comprehensive star catalogue, giving the positions of about 850 stars, although his most famous discovery was the precession of the Equinoxes. However, it was Claudius Ptolemy (c.100-170 AD) who enlarged and improved Hipparchus’ work, and around c. 150 AD created the 13-part-book Almagest, a comprehensive astronomical work which listed 48 constellations, mainly from ancient Greek mythology; 47 of which are still in use today. Due to its size ‘Argo Navis’ (Jason and the Argonauts) was split into three constellations by Nicolas Lacaille in 1755, to be called Carina (the keel), Puppis (the poop deck), and Vela (the sails). Ptolemy spent most of his time studying astronomy and was one of the first to present tables to predict the past and future position of the planets. Johannes Hevelius (1611 –1687) described ten new constellations, seven of which are still used by astronomers today. Hevelius constructed a massive 46 m (150 ft) telescope with a wood and wire tube which may well have been the longest "tubed" telescope ever built. However, much sought after for those trying to navigate the dangerous southern oceans, it took 150 years of exploration before the skies of the Southern Hemisphere were mapped with 26 new constellations. The original 12 were added by Frederick Houtman and first appeared on a celestial globe made by Plancius in 1598. These constellations were the first significant additions to the sky since Ptolemy’s time. Other famous astronomers followed who added to the list. However, the most interesting was probably Nicolas Lacaille who can add his name to 17 constellations in both hemispheres. Lacaille moved well away from the traditional line of naming constellations, so the Southern hemisphere has names like ‘Antlia’, the Air Pump; ‘Horologium’, the Pendulum Clock; ‘Microscopium’ the Microscope and Mensa, originally named after Table Mountain in South Africa. With the addition of the southern hemisphere, today there are 88 constellations recognised by the International Astronomical Union.

BOOK REVIEWS THE DEATH AND LIFE OF EMILY WOODS – COLIN OLIPHANT A fast-paced, supernatural time-slip novel linking a modern couple with a tragic love story and war-time sabotage aboard the RMS Titanic. A mix of historical fiction and paranormal romance, this novella follows the story of a wronged-spirit who is determined to live again. In 1912, David and Emily Woods embark on a lifechanging journey on the RMS Titanic. Their marriage is fractured by bitter arguments and the painful inability to conceive. As the ship set sails on its fateful maiden voyage, the couple are dreaming of new starts and a brighter future. But, when Emily uncovers a sinister wartime plot of international espionage, she pays the ultimate price, and a dark betrayal unfolds. In 1995, 83 years after the unsinkable ship met its doom in the icy depths of the ocean, Brian and Sarah Edwards embark on the luxury liner Queen Elizabeth II. They are trapped in an equally bitter and childless marriage that is slowly tearing them apart. As they sail over the watery grave of the Titanic, a violent freak wave collides with the past, and washes over the ship. Through the chilling sea spray, Emily Woods reaches through time, determined to find justice, and start the life she always wanted.
The premise of the novel is riveting, and the historical setting shows the extent of research that was put into the book, however, the story could have benefitted from more detail and foreshadowing. Some parts of the story are described in great detail, and really make you feel as though you are aboard the ship, whereas other parts of the story seem to lack this. This makes some of the story feel rushed, particularly the espionage narrative; this is an exciting element of the plot, but the resolution felt like a quick fix. This is a memorable story that blurs the lines of reality, and explores the lengths which people will go for family, as the destiny of two marriages are re-written. This novel is highly unique, and adds an unusual twist to the well-known story of the Titanic. Colin was born and raised in Southampton, and has published 5 books since 2020. He has recently received a British Empire Medal (BEM) for his local charity work from King Charles.

RECIPE
Pecan Pumpkin Pie with Maple Cream INGREDIENTS For the Pie: • 600g pumpkin • 500g pack shortcrust pastry • 175g light brown or muscovado sugar • 2 eggs • 140ml double cream • 1tsp cinnamon, mixed spice, ground ginger Pie Topping: • 100g pecans • 50ml maple syrup For the Maple Cream: • 140ml double cream • 30ml maple syrup • 25g chopped pecans Tools: • 25cm loose-bottomed tart tin • Non-stick baking paper • Baking beans (if you don’t have these, you can use dried rice instead!) • Food processor or handblender
A brilliant seasonal treat that combines two much-loved Autumn flavours! This pie has a buttery soft base, a sweetly spiced pumpkin filling and a tasty maple pecan topping, making it the perfect Autumn treat.
METHOD
• Cook the pumpkin for 15 minutes in a pan of boiling water, or until soft. Once cooked, drain and set aside to cool. • On a lightly floured surface roll out your pastry. It should be roughly the thickness of a £1 coin and wide enough to line a 25cm tart tin. Place the pastry gently over the tin, and then place in the fridge to chill for 30 minutes. • Preheat the oven to 200C/Fan 180C/Gas 6. Line the pastry with non-stick baking paper and baking beans, then bake for 15-20mins. Remove paper and beans, then cook for a further 10 minutes until the pastry is a lovely golden colour. Turn down the oven to gas 4/180C/Fan 160C. • Blend the cooled pumpkin in a food processor, or with a hand-blender, until smooth. Add 50ml maple syrup, the cinnamon, mixed spice, ground ginger, sugar, cream and eggs, then blend again. Pour the mixture into the tart case, leaving a small gap at the top of the pastry. Bake the pie for 40 minutes, or until the mixture is firm. • In a bowl, mix 40ml maple syrup with the chopped pecans until they are evenly coated. Arrange the pecans on top of the pie. You can drizzle additional syrup over the top of the pie if you wish.

HOW TO KEEP FIT DURING RETIREMENT
The end of a working life for many can mean long periods of inactivity, boredom or even loneliness but for many others it can mean the start of a whole new life, a fresh start and hours of fun exploring new interests. Here's our top tips for keeping fit and healthy during the latter years. Pilates Joining a Pilates class is a great way to keep active during your retirement years. This form of exercise sees the participants perform particular movements beneficial for the body, from a single leg stretch to rolling like a ball. These moves can be put together to form routines. This kind of activity may help certain kinds of body ailments, and by joining a class with a qualified instructor they will know exactly what moves are suitable and beneficial for you. Walking You don’t need to make a particular effort to visit the gym or subscribe to a particular fitness class to keep active, as just by stepping outside you can easily go for a walk. Power-walking, where you maintain a brisk pace, helps to increase cardiovascular fitness and over time can even help reduce body weight and reduce the chance of developing Type 2 diabetes. As well as the physical activity, the fresh air and company of a fellow walker are other benefits to this activity. Dancing Attending dance lessons weekly is not only great fun, but it also assists in keeping you fit and active. There are a variety of dance classes you can choose to attend. These include those that focus on ballroom Please mention “The Scene” when replying to adverts
dancing, which will cover dances such as the waltz, foxtrot and quickstep, or the faster pace of Latin dancing classes that feature dances such as the chacha-cha, samba and jive. This activity is also great for partners or friends to attend together, as it gets the heart beating and laughter flowing. Gardening Believe it or not, just going outside into the garden is a brilliant form of regular movement that helps keep you active. All these activities, from weeding your vegetable patch to planting out spring bulbs, mowing the lawn and watering the plot, are beneficial for your health. Creating a vegetable garden not only keeps you on the go but also produces healthy tasty crops to use in the kitchen. If you find you struggle with movement, however, or use a wheelchair, try getting raised beds erected as they offer a much more accessible platform for vegetable gardening with reduced need to bend down to the ground. You can even get your family and friends to get involved with this activity too. Swimming Getting into the water at a local swimming pool, or even the ocean, can help keep your muscles moving as you get older. Committing to swimming and going to the pool for regular lengths increases your cardiovascular fitness, but you don’t have to take the sport seriously to feel the benefits. You can take the kids and grandchildren along, and you’ll find that the continuous movement through the water is beneficial and uplifting for both your physical and mental health. There are even classes for water aerobics that you can attend too. www.scenemagazine.co.uk | The Scene | 17
GARDENING Before Summer Memories Fade:
Plan your dream garden As autumn settles in and our gardens begin to slow down, it can be tempting to turn our attention indoors and leave thoughts of the garden until spring. But if you're considering making changes to your garden in 2027, now is actually a very useful time to start thinking about what you want from it. After a whole summer spent living with your outdoor space, you know what worked – and what didn't. You know where you naturally chose to sit, where it was too hot or too shady, whether you felt overlooked, whether the entertaining space was really big enough, and which parts of the garden you barely used at all. So, before the weather really turns, sit outside with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, look around, and ask yourself a few questions: How am I using the garden now? Which areas do you naturally gravitate towards, and which are rarely used? How would I like to use it in the future? Think about everyday life as well as special occasions – and how you want to use the garden throughout the year. What does entertaining look like for me? Family barbecues, drinks with neighbours or long dinners with friends? Think about the type of space you actually need. What bothers me about the garden? Look beyond appearances. Consider privacy, noise, wind, awkward access, too much sun or shade, or areas that simply don't feel comfortable.
What do I already love? A beautiful tree, favourite view, birdsong or the scent of a particular plant? A redesign doesn't mean everything has to change. Where do I find inspiration? Think about places where you've loved spending time outdoors – a holiday destination, hotel, public garden or perhaps someone else's garden. Are there features I've always wanted? A wildlife pond, outdoor kitchen, vegetable garden, fire pit or cosy seating area? Add them to the wish list – it’s your dream garden after all. What budget feels realistic? Think about how long you plan to stay in your home and what you want your investment to achieve.
As thoughts occur to you, make a note of them. These thoughts become the beginnings of your personal garden design brief. Whether you're tackling the project yourself or working with a garden designer and landscaper, a clear brief helps prioritise spending, keeps the project focused and makes it much more likely that the finished garden will genuinely suit the way you live. So, when is the best time to design a garden? Any time. But one of the best times to work out what you really want from it is now – while the memories of summer are still fresh.

‘BRIEFEST ENCOUNTER’ RETURNS TO THE BIG SCREEN 80 YEARS AFTER FIRST LAUNCH
To celebrate the 80th anniversary of David Lean’s Brief Encounter, a special screening, followed by a revelatory documentary telling the untold love story behind the iconic film is coming to. Picturehouse in Southampton. After sell-out screenings in Bath, York and Central London, Briefest Encounters is going on tour with Picturehouse Cinemas as part of a special double-bill with the 1945 classic love story. Journalist Joanna Crosse discovered the secret past of her grandfather – actor Cyril Raymond - who played the betrayed husband in the film. Through letters, diaries, interviews and archive material, this documentary traces how a real life ‘Brief Encounter’
between two actors during a transatlantic stage production resulted in a child being born out of wedlock and then given up for adoption at the age of four without ever knowing where he came from. Brief Encounter is a timeless story of love, longing and impossible choices. Its emotional truth continues to resonate with people across generations, reminding us that the ‘briefest encounters’ can leave the deepest marks on our hearts. The showing has already received rave reviews and has been described as “a triumph”, “spellbinding”, “an intimate and compelling story” The double bill screening of Brief Encounter will be followed by the documentary Briefest Encounters with a Q&A with Joanna Crosse and Luke Taylor from Meaningful Films and is being shown for one day only on 18 October at Picturehouse, Southampton. For tickets visit: picturehouses.com/cinema/ harbour-lights “This lovingly handmade documentary tenderly leads an audience to first read between the lines of a moody black and white picture, about an illicit brief encounter - whilst revealing a colourful off screen secret, that affected not just a key player in this classic movie, but also a real family, who are at once and forever now shaped by the acceptance of a new truth!” Tee Hurwitz Gray

HAMPSHIRE POLICE CHIEF JOINS NATIONWIDE CAMPAIGN TO PREVENT PRISONER EARLY RELEASES Fifty chief constables, including Hampshire Chief Constable, Alexis Boon, have called on the Prime Minister to review the early release of those responsible for PC Andrew Harper's death as well as well as other serious offenders. An open letter signed by 50 policing and law enforcement leaders from across the UK also calls for the introduction of stronger protections for victims and communities when release arrangements change. Here’s an excerpt from the open letter but a full version of the letter can be read here: www.hampshire. police.uk/news/hampshire/news/news/2026/august “Dear Prime Minister, We welcome your intervention regarding the potential earlier release of those responsible for the death of PC Andrew Harper, and your instruction to the Justice Secretary to examine what can lawfully be done. When the state asks people to run towards danger on behalf of the public, they should be able to trust that the justice system will stand behind them when the worst happens. PC Andrew Harper's case also raises a wider question. When someone is sentenced for an exceptionally serious offence, how much confidence can victims, bereaved families and the public place in that sentence if subsequent changes to release arrangements result in an offender being released significantly earlier than originally anticipated? This question extends far beyond policing. Families across the country are now facing the distress of learning that offenders may be released earlier than they understood when sentence was passed. We do not suggest that the grief of a police family is greater than that of any other bereaved family, nor that the life of an emergency worker has greater value. Our concern is for all victims and families affected by serious offending sentencing changes. PC Andrew Harper lost his life while protecting the public and serving his community. Following his death, Lissie Harper campaigned for a change in the law, leading Parliament to establish Harper's Law, recognising the exceptional risks emergency workers take while protecting others. While Harper's Law cannot retrospectively alter the sentences imposed following PC Andrew Harper’s death, the principle behind it remains important. Those who serve and protect the public should know that the justice system recognises the risks they take on society's behalf. Victims and bereaved families should be confident that sentences imposed for the most serious offences retain meaning and that public

protection remains a central consideration when release decisions are made.” The letter then goes on to outline the strength of feeling amongst those working in the Police service. It also asks government to consider three important measure to safeguard Police officers and their families as well as victims of the most violent crimes: “First, we ask that every lawful option is examined to determine whether the earlier release of those responsible for PC Andrew Harper's death can be prevented. We recognise that Government must act within the law. Nevertheless, given the significance of this case, it is right that every available lawful avenue is explored. Second, we ask Government to establish an additional public protection safeguard in cases involving the most serious offenders whenever future changes to sentencing on release arrangements are considered. Where an offender has caused a death, committed exceptionally serious violence, or presents an ongoing risk to individuals or communities, there should be explicit consideration of public protection, victim impact and community safety before release arrangements are amended. This principle should also apply to serious offences where there is a continuing risk of harm to victims or the public, including serious violence against women and girls, stalking and harassment. This is not simply a question of punishment. It is ensuring that public protection, victim confidence and community safety remain central to decisions that may substantially reduce time offenders spend in custody. Third, victims and bereaved families must be properly considered whenever significant changes are made to sentencing or release arrangements. There should also be consideration of the impact that significant changes to release policy may have on victims, public protection, policing and confidence in the justice system.” The letter concludes by saying that “The public should be able to trust that when a court passes sentence for the most serious crimes, victims, public protection and confidence in the justice system remain at the heart of any subsequent decisions about release.” Since the publishing of this letter, the Prime Minister has said that he is 'confident' PC Andrew Harper's killers can be excluded from the government's early release scheme and has now ordered the Justice Secretary to find a way to bar Jessie Cole and Albert Bowers, who were jailed for 13 years for manslaughter in 2020, from the early release scheme.
