Britain’s Quirkiest Bonfire Night Celebrations
Quirky Britain
N
ovember is the month for firework displays, when adults and children gather together on a chilly field to spend half an hour ‘oohing’ and ‘aahing’ as fiery fountains erupt, Catherine wheels spin and rockets light up the night sky. It’s a fun family event, but our 21st century firework displays seem like pretty tame stuff when compared to the bonfire festivities enjoyed in times gone by. Fire festivals have been held for thousands of years but the practice of marking 5th November with bonfires and fireworks began as a rowdy celebration to mark the deaths of the conspirators who tried to blow up England’s parliament in 1605, with activities calculated to make any modern-day health and safety officer run for cover. While it’s no bad thing that firework displays are now controlled and regulated to avoid accidents, some of the devil-may-care spirit that was once the hallmark of November 5th seems to have been lost. However, there are certain parts of the UK where risk and excitement are an essential part of the enjoyment.
by Kate McLelland ANARCHIC FUN IN SUSSEX Welcome to Bonfire Night in Lewes, Sussex, where the smell of burnt gunpowder is always accompanied by a faint whiff of anarchy. It’s a night of celebration that promises activities that are – to quote the website lewesbonfirecelebrations.com – “not suitable for very young children … the frail or if you have breathing problems.” Each year this bonfire event turns the normally sleepy town of Lewes into a heady combination of raucous street bands, rowdy processions, heaving crowds and huge effigies – usually in the form of hated public figures of the day – made for the sole purpose of being consigned to the flames amidst cheers, jeers and catcalls. The town uses Bonfire Night as an opportunity to uphold the traditions of free speech and to remember the dead, particularly the seventeen Protestant martyrs who were burned at the stake in Lewes between 1555 and 1557 under the reign of ‘Bloody Mary’ (Queen Mary I) Their martyrdom is marked annually by a procession of 17 burning crosses.
TAR BARREL RACING IN DEVON Another place you might prefer to avoid on Bonfire Night if you are of a nervous disposition is Ottery St. Mary, in Devon. This tranquil West Country town changes character on the night of 5th November, becoming the stage for a perilous and fiery race through the streets. This exhilarating and risky spectacle involves setting light to huge wood and iron barrels soaked in tar. The barrels are then carried through the town at great speed. Some families have been taking part in the races for many generations and almost 10,000 people turn up each year to cheer them on. Another quirky and highspirited bonfire event is Shetland’s Viking fest Up Helly Aa, which takes place at the end of January. These celebrations – tapping into our primitive feelings about fire as something to be loved, feared and respected – are a powerful way of bringing communities together. Although no-one would want to return to the days when members of the public could be injured when activities got out of hand, it’s good to know that some UK communities are still prepared go to such lengths to let their hair down and celebrate together.

Dear Readers,
ur current series of articles about Quirky Britain is one of my favourites articles in our magazine at the moment and this issue’s is all about bonfires. While it’s no bad thing that firework displays are now controlled and regulated to avoid accidents, some of the devil-may-care spirit that was once the hallmark of November 5th seems to have been lost. However, there are certain parts of the UK where risk and excitement are an essential part of the enjoyment. Page 2 tells us all! There is also a bit of British quirkiness If you look at the old photo in the centre of our Ferndown history article on page 6. One of the early cream phone
with best wishes,
boxes is shown and of course my husband had to do a bit of Googling to find out more about call boxes! So he suggests you visit: www.the-telephone-box.co.uk if you really want to find out about all the other sorts of callboxes in the UK! We even found an old AA call box whilst cycling in Herefordshire this summer in Eardisland and of course my husband had to have a silly photo taken doing his best Fred Scuttle impersonation (from Benny Hill Show!) If you would like more members in your club or society, and/or would like us to publish your news, articles or future events, then simply e-mail the details to: info@roundaboutmags.co.uk.

Ferndown before the Bulldozers Less than 60 years ago Ferndown was just a village, with gravel roads, a scattering of shops and not even a set of traffic lights. Then the bulldozers arrived and much of Ferndown’s history disappeared forever. Part autobiography and part history, these articles are a fascinating glimpse of a village in transition.
Victoria Road & Wimborne Road junction Early 20th century - still very rural with unmade roads
Galton’s Store early 20th century before it became a Post Office and appears to be offering ‘Wonga’ type cash loans!
O
ur last article featured the shops at the Ringwood Road end of Victoria Road, but at the opposite end at the junction with Wimborne Road stood the original Ferndown post office. This was the only one in the village until the early 1930s when another opened in the Stubbings shop at Penny’s Hill. It was run from Harry Galton’s General Store and continued to serve the needs of homes at the Wimborne Road end of the village for many years after the new one at Penny’s Hill opened. Galton’s was part of a building which at the time incorporated the Ferndown Primitive Methodist Chapel. The chapel then became a furniture and antiques showroom and then housed Tots and Tiddlers Toys. The Post Office next door closed a few years ago and the whole site has now been replaced with a block of flats. The book is available from Brian Davis, 31 Whinhams Way, Billericay CM12 0HD, price £13.99 + £2 p&p.
Probably late 1920s with extended shopfront and showing a model K1 MK 236 telephone call box which was introduced in 1927
Late 20th century showing Old Chapel Pine and the Post Office which is still open.

Octagonal Eastern Sunrise
a small SUV MG crossover named ‘ZS’. Is there any carry-over from the MGs of old? Not so you’d notice. This car is made in China by the inheritors of the MG name and historical British know-how. Engineering detail and styling is generated in Longbridge UK where the Chinese have maintained a small presence as they believed the UK was their entry point to Europe but with the Brexit spoiler, this may never be. This most advanced MG yet is carefully engineered. For instance - the close attention paid to visible interior and exterior quality, the ride and handling are no longer choppy and uncomfortable. In fact very much closer to current state of the art. Overall, this has become a most pleasant driving proposition. The driveline has two distinct options, both at the leading edge of fuel economy and exhaust emissions, but without compromising the driving experience. Simply choose manual or automatic gearbox and trim level. With the 1.5 litre petrol engine and manual gearbox this car will cover
MG ‘ZS’ Interior
ground surprisingly quickly yet still achieve over 40mpg. The ‘auto’ specification brings a tiny 1.0 litre turbo petrol engine electronically matched to the automatic gearbox for maximum economy.- I am still very surprised by this achievement in blending spritely performance with huge economy. Cecil Kimber - who in the 40s took stock Morris saloons and turned them into efficient MG sport cars - would have been very proud of this car. The only demerits I experienced were window glass which was only very faintly tinted, and with the accelerator pedal being the same height as the brake pedal and very close no good for smooth driving or ‘heel-and-toe’ gear-changes - it was far too easy to rev the engine when braking.. In practical use this car is easy-going. Enter through large door openings, sit high in large leather seats while the surroundings show quality and fit. Even with 5 aboard, boot space is surprisingly very large and this is multiplied by popping down the split rear seats. The driver has a carefully thought-out array of instruments including sat-nav and infotainment sockets. So, being easy-going to drive, the whole ZS experience is very pleasant. At this price point, an unassailably practical proposition, priced from £13k to £18k and with a 7-year warranty - what’s not to like?

t’s all the fashion, my dears. The small hatchback merges with the sports utility vehicle to become a much more vertical car than experienced previously - here is the now-popular Crossover. Volume car maker are ‘at it’, some providing them in a range of sizes to suit most pockets and physical circumstances. And practical too, as our British population becomes wider, heavier, less mobile and dare I say on average, older? Easier to get into, see an elevated view of the boot in front, get more storage space and all within a smaller footprint - well that’s the theory. We have seen that as new models are unleashed to production, they become not only a few inches taller but a fraction wider and longer. Oh, but almost invariably with far less emissions than before - both petrol and diesel. An MG sits on my driveway. The badge says ‘MG’ but this is no traditional MG, no sports car image whatsoever, but

Wimborne’s efforts rewarded with shining gold!
T
he South and South East in Bloom Awards Ceremony took place at the Amex Stadium, Brighton on Friday 14th September with superb results for Wimborne Minster. For the fifth successive year a Gold Award was given and the Town was also the Town category winner for the second year running. Additionally Wimborne Minster was announced as the County Winner, by achieving the highest score of all of the Dorset ‘In Bloom’ entries. Wimborne in Bloom Chairman, Richard Nunn was delighted and commented that that the public recognition rewarded the hard work and support given by so many people and supporters together with a hard-working Committee.
He also thanked Dutch Touch who planted, and have watered all the planters and Beecroft Nurseries who supplied the hanging baskets – both of these excelled themselves and supported Wimborne in Bloom magnificently. The result of Wimborne’s entry into the National Britain in Bloom Competition will not be known until the middle of October. Photo shows the Wimborne in Bloom committee with chairman Richard Nunn holding the Winning Trophy, Peter Glancy holding the Dorset County Winner Certificate and Chris Hooker holding the Town Winner Certificate together with town crier Chris Brown who did a special cry just before the photo was taken.

Technology
Generic USB drive, Sometimes it’s a crucial bit of kit getting damaged. Unfortunately no piece of technology lasts forever, any device can be stolen or damaged and any digital file can be deleted or corrupted. If it contains something that really matters to you – your priceless family photos or home videos, perhaps, or your university dissertation, or the book that’s going to make you a superstar – then any problems could be catastrophic. So how do you prevent problems from becoming Halloween horrors? The first thing to do is to ensure that you have more than one copy of anything important.

utumn is a colourful time of year here on the nature reserve, with the trees displaying ceilings of golden leaves and fungi beginning to carpet the woodland floor. On your visit to Blashford Lakes look out for the popular fly agarics along with shaggy inkcaps, earth stars and the more subtle but aptly named candle snuff fungus on the tops of logs. On a sunny day look out for insects still on the wing, including red admiral and peacock butterflies and common darter and migrant hawker dragonflies. Late October may offer the first sightings of a bittern, however last winter they passed us by. Fingers crossed one or more will perceive the reedbeds around Ivy Lake as suitable habitat this year - as the reeds die back it is usually easier to see this secretive bird as it has fewer places to hide. Increasing numbers of ducks will be gathering on the water,

including gadwall, pochard, tufted duck, teal, shoveler, wigeon and golden eye. The reserve’s kingfishers have had another good breeding season and you may be lucky enough to spot one frequenting a perch, as it keeps a keen eye on the water below. Another bird likely to be spotted fishing in the shallows is the great white egret, which spends the Autumn and Winter on our Lake shores after a summer in France. As the nights draw in, this time of year is perfect for watching the starling murmurations and increasing number of birds coming into roost on Ibsley Water. Thousands of gulls, geese and goosander use the lakes as their resting place as it provides a safe refuge after dark. As well as looking out for roosting birds you can also watch out for bats emerging for their night’s feed and listen out for dark bush crickets who can be heard chirping at this time of year.
To discover more about our nocturnal wildlife join Education Officer Jim Day for an evening night walk on Friday 26th October. Learn about and set (live!) small mammal traps before heading off into the night to find bats, moths and owls, with the option to return the following morning to check and release your catch of mice and voles. Please telephone 01425 472760 to book onto either or both ‘Nocturnal Nature’ sessions. The Blashford Lakes Project is a partnership between Bournemouth Water, New Forest District Council and Wessex Water. The reserve is managed by Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust, a charity that aims to protect local wildlife and inspire people.

The History of the Remembrance Day Poppy by Catherine Rose
With celebrations to mark the centenary of the end of the First World War, the humble but striking poppy will once again be evident as a symbol of hope and remembrance. But what is its history? Over the four years that the Great War raged, the fields of Flanders in Belgium that saw much of the bloody trench warfare were decimated. But like some miracle of life triumphing over death, out of this devastation grew hundreds of field poppies.
History
Part of the papaver family (papaver rhoeas), the Flanders Poppy, as it came to be known, thrived in the barrenness – its bright red colour echoing the bloodshed and a perfect symbol of hope for the future. Canadian WW1 soldier and poet John McCrae wrote the now famous poem ‘In Flanders Fields’ about their significance in 1915. After reading a copy of McCrae’s poem, American University Professor Moina Michael was so moved that she promptly
went out to Wannamaker’s – a department store in New York – and bought all the artificial poppies they had. She then sold them as souvenirs of remembrance under the banner ‘keep the faith’. Due to Moina’s efforts, the National American Legion adopted the poppy as their symbol, agreeing to wear it on Armistice Day, 11th November. While attending an American Legion Convention in 1920, Anna Guérin, a member of the French YWCA, saw the poppy not only as a global symbol of remembrance but also as a way of raising funds. She decided to start mass producing artificial poppies to sell as badges in France. The proceeds would be used to help war widows and orphans. After they proved a success in France, Anna took them abroad. In England, she met Field Marshall Douglas Haig, also the first president of the (Royal) British Legion founded in 1921 and the first British Legion Poppy Day Appeal took place in 1921 with nine million poppies sold and over £100,000 raised. The other allied countries soon followed suit. In 1922, Major John Howson opened the first UK
poppy factory in London. Howson had received the Military Cross during the First World War and had subsequently set up The Disabled Society to help provide employment for disabled veterans. His initial staff were five disabled exsoldiers. Today there are two poppy manufacturers in the UK – The Poppy Factory in Richmond (the original poppy factory relocated) and The Lady Haig Poppy Factory in Edinburgh. The Scottish poppy is slightly different to the English in that it has four petals instead of three and no leaf. Both are staffed by exservicemen and women and produce millions of poppies annually. The Poppy Factory also does free tours which are open to all. Along with the crosses and wreaths that will be placed on war memorials across the country on Remembrance Sunday this centenary year, armies of volunteers will sell millions of poppies in the run up to 11th November. The idea behind them remains the same – a nonreligious, non-cultural symbol of remembrance that helps to raise money for veterans and their families.

Confusion and Anxiety in Relationships
A
re you confused and feeling anxious in a relationship when perhaps nothing traumatic is happening?
You may not be in an abusive relationship, or one that is overly dramatic but when doing normal run of the mill things, like having dinner with your partner and something is said, or something is not said, you feel ignored, slighted, or shut out. At that moment you find yourself imploding, confused, your mind feels overly active. You may find yourself wanting to say something at that moment but you don’t know what to say or have the words. People who are in distressed relationships often find themselves incongruent with their partner, confused about what they are feeling and what to do about it. They convince themselves that there must be something wrong with them, and they feel the need to talk themselves out of the panic, or the anxiety they are feeling. There may be a profound sense of loss which comes out of the blue and they are left feeling misunderstood and perhaps they want their partner to reach out to them. It’s so confusing for their partner also, as they can’t read minds or often understand the level and degree of the reaction or over reaction. Most people react to the intensity of the emotion they are feeling at that time. If you can relate to this, you may have a history of interacting with adults which has reinforced insecure relating. This may result in insecure attachment issues. If we carry on feeling this way, we are in danger of shutting down or disconnecting from our adult self. Ultimately, we need to parent ourselves and sooth our emotional state,

Canada Adventrue on Athabasca By Solange Hando
S
Travel
preading out from the ‘Columbia’, the largest icefield in the Rockies, Athabasca is among the world’s most accessible glaciers, a popular day trip from Lake Louise, Jasper or even Banff, though this involves a longer drive. Winding along the Continental Divide, past soaring peaks, forests, waterfalls and lakes, the Icefields Parkway leads almost to the very edge, near the meeting point of the Jasper and Banff National Parks. Up there the Discovery Centre is the first point of call with exhibits on the history and movements of the ice and the area’s natural world. It is the perfect introduction before tackling the day’s adventure but one should be prepared for changing weather and high altitude, with the glacier’s average height around 3,000 metres. There are walking trails for the brave and wellorganised treats in season, led by knowledgeable and highly entertaining guides. First on anyone’s list is the award-winning skywalk, just a
five minute bus transfer from the centre. Built into the rock, carefully integrated into the environment with near-zero footprint, it begins along a vertiginous cliff’s edge then steps out on a semi-circular look out with a glass floor, perched 280 metres above the valley. There you are, suspended between heaven and earth, the Sunwapta river meandering far below, the red craggy rocks almost within arm’s reach, the soaring birds, mighty glaciers and snow-covered peaks rising all around. Even more exciting is the iconic ride on one of the giant Ice Explorers. The first few minutes include a steep scary descent on a stone track until you reach the edge of the Athabasca, a tongue of ice, six km long and thicker in places than the Eiffel Tower. Glacial vistas, snowy mountains etched into the sky, it’s like the end of the world, even though the Explorer can only venture so far on the crunchy surface. The ice is pure blue in places as this is the only colour it
cannot absorb. Then the ‘giant’ stops, giving you ten minutes or so to walk around the safe icy section. No one ventures beyond the danger cones for untouched snow and ice are amazingly thick, dotted with hidden crevasses and water holes where lives have been lost. Sometimes a deep rumble echoes in the thin mountain air and you might spot an avalanche tumbling down the slope just ahead of you. Don’t expect to be alone on the glacier, it is highly popular, but whatever the crowds, you can switch off and commune with the natural world, so mighty and inspiring. Visitors leaving before dusk are likely to see bears and elks close to the road, and those on the way to Jasper might enjoy the last rays of the sun on the Athabasca waterfall. Meanwhile, high above on the edge of the glacier, the lucky ones settle down in the lodge for a starlit night. Strange noises in the dark may remind them that the Athabasca is always on the move, receding by around five metres a year.
