often stifled their voices. Known for her extravagant fashion and independent thinking, Cavendish captivated audiences across England, so much so that Samuel Pepys noted how crowds flocked to see her in London in 1667.

Her story is also a touching love story, making the exhibition’s Valentine’s Day launch especially fitting.

Margaret Cavendish: Trailblazer.

Running from 14 February to 31 August 2025, the exhibition celebrates the life and legacy of Margaret Cavendish, a remarkable figure born and raised in Colchester during the turbulent Civil War era.

Margaret Cavendish, formerly Margaret Lucas, defied the expectations of her time, becoming one of the earliest writers of dystopian science fiction, as well as a playwright and poet. Her bold critiques of academia and exploration of feminist ideas through literature made her a trailblazer for women in a society that Issue 114

A Good Read Wong’s voice is unapologetically bold and refreshingly honest, providing a raw look into topics that are often taboo, such as bodily functions, sexual escapades, and the gritty realities of childbirth. The book balances laugh-out-loud anecdotes - like tales of wild nights in her youth with touching reflections on her immigrant parents’ sacrifices and the legacy she hopes to leave for her daughters. Wong’s ability to blend humour with heartfelt wisdom is a testament to her skill as a storyteller.

Dear Girls by Ali Wong Ali Wong’s Dear Girls: Intimate Tales, Untold Secrets & Advice for Living Your Best Life is a candid, hilarious, and heartfelt collection of essays written as a letter to her two daughters.

In the book, Wong weaves her trademark raunchy humour with deep personal reflections on love, career, motherhood, and identity. The essays explore her journey from a struggling comedian to a celebrated star, with insights into her VietnameseChinese heritage, her unconventional marriage, and the challenges of being a working mother in comedy.

While Dear Girls is riotously funny, it is also a love letter to her daughters and a guide for navigating life’s complexities. The book’s strength lies in its authenticity; Wong never sugarcoats her struggles or triumphs.

The explicit content and unabashed humour may not appeal to more demure readers…you have been warned, but I laughed so hard I gave myself rib-cramps! Enjoy.

Look Both Ways by Jason Reynolds This a masterfully crafted book set

in an anonymous city in the US, which explores the interconnected lives of children as they navigate their journeys home from school across ten city blocks.

The book is divided into ten chapters, each focusing on a different set of characters with their own challenges, joys, and discoveries.

From a boy struggling to care for his sick mother while managing school, to a girl leading a double life of mischief and kindness, all the stories stand alone, yet they are subtly linked. Reynolds captures the nuances of friendship, family, and resilience beautifully. His use of humour, keen observation, and lyrical prose brings makes the ordinary feel extraordinary.

Themes such as bullying, grief, first love, and bravery are handled with sensitivity and a deep understanding of childhood.

respecting the unique experiences of each character. Books aimed at the 12-15 age-group can be notoriously downbeat, so it is much appreciated that Reynolds balances more poignant scenes with laugh-out-loud funny moments.

While the book’s structure may initially seem fragmented, it ultimately reinforces the central theme: that everyone has their own story, but we are all connected.

The narrative celebrates diversity, both in terms of the characters’ backgrounds and the ways they perceive the world. Reynolds uses each story to highlight universal truths about growing up while

The Seven Bore Nature's Tidal Phenomenon and the Thrill of Surfing It

Crossword

The Severn Bore is one of the most remarkable tidal phenomena in the world, occurring along the River Severn in England. It is caused by the river’s funnel-shaped estuary, which amplifies the incoming tide, creating a powerful wave that travels upriver.

The bore varies in size, depending on factors like the moon’s phase and tidal conditions, with the largest bores typically happening during the March Spring tides.

The Severn Bore is famous not just for its natural spectacle but also for its unique appeal to surfers. Brave enthusiasts take to the water to ride the wave as far upstream as possible. While ocean surfing requires catching wave after wave, surfing the Severn Bore is a single, prolonged ride, sometimes lasting for miles.

This challenge attracts surfers from

around the globe who are drawn to the novelty and the difficulty of the experience.

Riding the bore is not for the faint-hearted. The wave itself can reach heights of up to several feet, and the fast-moving current and unpredictable riverbed add to the challenge. Surfers must navigate a narrow and often crowded wave while avoiding obstacles like submerged rocks and debris.

Beyond the thrill of the ride, the Severn Bore has built a community of dedicated riders and onlookers.

Spectators gather along the riverbanks to cheer on surfers as they test their skills against the tide. For those who conquer the bore, it’s not just a surf— it's a badge of honour and a unique connection to nature’s raw power.

Progress continues on Middle Mill weir and bridge repairs

Cutting-edge cars and legendary circuits.

The Formula 1 season starts again this month. It has a rich history dating back to the early post-war era. Officially launched in 1950, the inaugural F1 World Championship race took place at Silverstone Circuit in the United Kingdom. Since then, the sport has grown into a global phenomenon, blending cutting-edge technology with fierce competition.

Formula 1 cars are marvels of engineering, combining speed, precision, and cutting-edge technology. Since the sport’s inception, the development of F1 cars has been a relentless pursuit of performance, with teams pushing the boundaries of innovation within the constraints of ever-evolving regulations.

Photo shows Cllr David King at Middle Mill weir.

Colchester City Council is pleased to report continued progress towards the removal of the collapsed Middle Mill weir and the repair of the adjacent footbridge. Weekly meetings with Essex Highways and contractors have been taking place, and pre-application advice is being sought from the Environment Agency to support the permit application process, which is now being drafted.

keep these works to a minimum, one tree will need to be felled, and several willows will be coppiced. None of the affected trees are protected by a Tree Preservation Order or located within a Planning Conservation Area.

As part of the council’s commitment to environmental responsibility, two new Oak trees will be planted in a nearby location on Kings Meadow to offset the loss of the London Plane tree.

A key milestone was reached this week with the completion of a hydrology survey, providing essential data to inform the permit application.

This will also help determine the design heights for temporary dams that will be installed to enable safe working conditions under the bridge.

Ensuring safety and preventing any increased flood risk remains a top priority.

Cllr David King, Leader of Colchester City Council, said: “The complexity of the work, in and out of water, subject to river flows and weather, has meant a frustratingly long wait for a way ahead. But I hope residents will take some comfort from progress being made, and from the joint commitment of both councils to work together and reopen the bridge as soon as possible.”

To facilitate access for plant and machinery needed for the works, some tree management is required.

While every effort is being made to

The council will continue to provide updates as the project moves forward, ensuring the community remains informed every step of the way.

In the early days, F1 cars were relatively simple machines with front-mounted engines, tubular steel frames, and minimal aerodynamics.

By the late 1950s, rear-engine designs revolutionized the sport, offering better weight distribution and handling. The 1960s saw advancements in aerodynamics with the introduction of wings, which increased downforce and allowed cars to corner faster.

The 1980s were defined by the rise of turbocharged engines, producing incredible power but posing challenges with reliability and control.

This era also saw advancements in materials, such as carbon fibre monocoques, which improved strength and safety while reducing weight. Active suspension systems and semi-automatic gearboxes have further enhanced performance.

Modern F1 cars are a fusion of hybrid power units, advanced aerodynamics, and sophisticated data analysis.

The current power units combine a turbocharged V6 engine with energy recovery systems, making them not only powerful but also highly efficient.

Aerodynamic regulations mandate intricate designs, including front

and rear wings, diffusers, and groundeffect floors, to optimize downforce while minimizing drag.

The FIA, Formula 1’s governing body, enforces strict rules to ensure safety, competition, and sustainability.

Regulations govern car dimensions, weight, engine performance, and fuel usage. Recent initiatives, such as the budget cap introduced in 2021 and the shift to sustainable fuels by 2026, aim to level the playing field and reduce the sport’s environmental impact.

This constant interplay between innovation and regulation has made Formula 1 a testing ground for automotive technology, which in turn influences road car design.

The cars are only part of the story though. The circuits are every bit as important, and they each pose different challenges. Monaco’s narrow streets are legendary for their difficult tight corners, elevation changes, and barriers inches away from the cars. It demands absolute precision. Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium, known for its picturesque setting and challenging layout, is a driver favourite. Its high-speed Eau Rouge corner and unpredictable weather make it a test of courage and adaptability.

Silverstone, with its fast corners like Maggots and Becketts, remains a cornerstone of the calendar and a fan favourite. Modern circuits like Singapore’s Marina Bay, featuring night races under stunning lights, and the Circuit of the Americas in Texas, designed with a mix of iconic corner replicas, blend traditional and contemporary thrills. There’s something for everyone.

As Formula 1 continues to evolve, the combination of technology, driver skill, and amazing circuits ensures its place as one of the most exciting and enduring forms of motorsport.

Garden View - This month - Bedding plants Bedding plants are a staple of springtime gardening and nurseries are full of them at the moment.

They’re little powerhouses of vibrant colours which we as gardeners can use to brighten our plot.

Bedding plants are simply short-term plants, usually annuals or biennials, which are grown for their decorative flowers or foliage. They’re typically planted in beds, borders, containers, or hanging baskets to provide a stunning display for a specific season, such as spring or summer. Unlike perennials, which return year after year, bedding plants complete their life cycle in one season, making them ideal for gardeners who love to experiment and refresh their displays annually.

At the moment I’m planting up pansies, petunias, begonias, geraniums, and marigolds. There are so many varieties, with something to suit every garden and colour scheme.

They are such a quick and affordable way to inject colour and interest into a garden. Their fast-growing nature means you can create an eyecatching display in a matter of weeks,

perfect for filling gaps in borders or brightening up patios and balconies.

They’re also incredibly versatile, thriving in various settings, from formal gardens to informal cottage styles. Many bedding plants attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, which as you know I love to encourage because they contribute to a healthy ecosystem. Additionally, they allow gardeners to experiment with assorted colour schemes and layouts each year.

How to Use Bedding Plants Plan Your Display - For a formal look, plant them in neat rows or symmetrical patterns in flowerbeds.

For a more relaxed vibe, mix different species in containers or hanging baskets.

the risk of frost has passed (usually late May in the UK) before planting summer bedding plants. Space them according to their requirements to ensure healthy growth and avoid overcrowding.

Prepare the Soil - Bedding plants thrive in free-draining, nutrient-rich soil. Before planting, prepare the ground by removing weeds, loosening the soil, and adding compost or slowrelease fertilizer.

Caring for Your Plants - Regular watering, especially during dry spells, is essential. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering and use liquid feed every few weeks for the best display.

Planting Tips – Spring bedding can be planted straight away. Wait until

For a year-round garden display, consider seasonal bedding. Spring

bulbs like tulips and daffodils can take centre stage early in the year, followed by vibrant summer bedding, and finished off with hardy winter options like violas or ornamental cabbages.

Versatile, affordable, and pretty, bedding plants are an excellent choice for gardeners of all levels. Whether you’re filling a formal border or adding flair to a balcony, they will bring a splash of joy to any outdoor space.

Happy gardening,

World Book Day 2025

World Book Day returns on Thursday, 6 March 2025, with its inspiring mission to transform lives through the joy of reading. This annual celebration aims to encourage children and young people to discover the magic of books and embrace reading on their own terms.

The 2025 campaign introduces an innovative approach called "Read Your Way", which addresses a critical challenge in children's reading habits.

Research has shown that many children view reading as a mandatory task rather than an enjoyable activity.

This year's initiative seeks to empower children to explore reading without pressure, allowing them to discover books that genuinely spark their interest.

Current research highlights that 1 in 5 kids feel judged for what they read, but that children are more likely to enjoy reading when they can choose what, when, and how they read.

How to empower kids to read their way?

Every child learns at their own pace and has unique interests. Tailor reading activities to their preferences and skill levels. For beginners, focus on books with repetitive patterns, simple words, and engaging illustrations. As they grow more confident, gradually introduce more challenging texts.

Letting children choose their own books empowers them to take ownership of their learning.

Foster Patience and Encouragement The process of learning to read can be frustrating. Offer patience and positive reinforcement to create a safe space for learning. Avoid criticism and instead focus on their progress.

Acknowledge their efforts and remind

Remember Mothers Day Even if your mother cannot

them that making mistakes is all part of learning.

Incorporate Technology Thoughtfully Digital tools like e-books, educational apps, and interactive games can complement traditional methods and may appeal to certain kids. Look for resources designed to build specific reading skills, such as phonics or comprehension.

Don’t underestimate reading to children Reading to children is one of the most beneficial activities for their development. It helps build their vocabulary, language skills, and comprehension, all while fostering a love for books. Stories stimulate their imagination, improve concentration, and introduce them to new ideas, cultures, and perspectives. Reading aloud also strengthens the bond between caregiver and child.

Furthermore, it lays the foundation for academic success by nurturing literacy skills and developing critical thinking.

By regularly reading to children, parents and teachers foster curiosity and confidence.

The aims of World Book Day are to help children develop a lifelong reading habit; improve the life chances of children from disadvantaged backgrounds, and to make reading more fun and accessible.

By fostering a love for reading, offering personalized support, and celebrating every milestone, parents and teachers can empower children to become confident readers and open the door to imagination, knowledge, and a lifetime of learning opportunities.

My mother was diagnosed with dementia three years ago and her cognitive decline has been rapid. This time of year, is difficult. She always loved Mothers’ Day and delighted in cards and flowers and being spoiled. When I became a mother she reciprocated by making sure my husband knew he was responsible for spoiling me until my son was old enough to take responsibility. It made me smile when I found her little reminder notes for him.

But now things are different. Mum only remembers me sometimes and my brother hardly at all. Yet some days she’s lucid and funny and quite like her old self. All we can do is celebrate Mothers’ Day on her terms.

Reminisce - Familiar faces and old photos can bring joy and comfort to someone living with dementia, even if the person can’t remember the names. Look at old photos together and describe them for your loved one as you go through them. Avoid asking questions like, “Do you remember?” as that might make your mother one feel embarrassed and ashamed.

Adapt old favourites - Dementia can impact a person’s ability to do things as they previously did, so it’s important to be adaptable. If your mother enjoyed going to a certain restaurant, order-in food from that establishment instead. If they enjoyed playing a musical instrument but can’t anymore, listen to their favourite music with them.

The gift of time - Quality time together is one of the best Mother’s Day gifts we can give. Focus on those activities that bring joy and let go of activities that seem too stressful.

Flowers – These can be especially good for someone living with dementia; the scent can trigger memories, promote positive feelings, and stimulate the brain.

Make your own Mother’s Day card Write a Mother’s Day card and read it out loud. Even if she can no longer grasp the full meaning, the act of writing it and communicating your love can help lift your own spirits.

National No Smoking Day National No Smoking Day this year is on Wednesday 12th March. Smoking is very harmful to your heart. It seriously increases your risk of developing heart and circulatory diseases.

To keep your heart healthy, you can make small lifestyle changes to help you quit smoking.

What does smoking do to your heart and circulatory system?

The chemicals in cigarettes make the walls of your arteries sticky. This causes fatty material to stick to the walls. The fatty material can begin to clog your arteries and reduce the space for blood to flow properly. x x

If the arteries that carry blood to your heart get clogged, it can lead to a heart attack.

If the arteries that carry blood to your brain get clogged, it can lead to a stroke.

Smoking can also affect your heart and blood vessels by: x x x x

increasing your risk of blood clots causing an instant rise to your heart rate causing an instant rise to your blood pressure reducing the amount of oxygen delivered to the rest of your body.

What are the benefits of quitting smoking?

You might notice benefits sooner than you think: x x x

your heart rate and blood pressure will begin to return to normal after 20 minutes. your sense of smell and taste will begin to improve after 2-3 days. your risk of a heart attack is half that of a smoker after 1 year.

Quitting smoking also has other benefits like: x x x x x x

you will have fresher breath and whiter teeth. your skin might look younger and age less quickly. you might have more energy, feel less tired and get less headaches. your immune system will find it easier to fight off colds and flu. your sex drive may increase, and it can improve your fertility. you will protect the health of your children, family and friends.

It’s never too late to benefit from stopping smoking. On average, smokers who quit in their 30s will add 10 years to their life. Even quitting at 60 will add 3 years. Being a non-smoker can also improve your chances of being more physically active and healthier as you get older.
