Spring Copy - 1st Feb Publication - 1st March Summer Copy - 1st May Publication - 1st June Autumn Copy - 1st Aug Publication - 1st Sept Winter Copy - 1st Nov Publication - 1st Dec September already? Summer seemed to fly by, but what a scorcher it was! It was great to see people out and about enjoying our beautiful area. Visitor numbers seemed to be more comfortable this year, after the crowds of last summer; I guess the next challenge is how to resolve the issue of staff accommodation for all those keen to live and work in the area for the summer season but who have been unable to find anywhere to stay. In this issue, there is an article about the annual Padstow Rock swim. I have been a steward for the swim for several years and last year decided it was high time I did it. I’m an all year round sea swimmer, so wasn’t too concerned about coping with sea conditions, although I must admit, on the day, it was more challenging than I expected. However, I did it and my wonderful team of supporters met me with a picnic and lots of hugs. I also raised £1200 for Marie Curie and I’m very glad to have done it, but will be back stewarding next year. I would encourage anyone thinking about applying for a place in the 2023 swim, to have a go. It’s an unforgettable experience and raises money for a great cause. This issue of Link also features some old photographs of the St Minver Carnival, which will bring back many memories for readers. Katrina Bacon, who runs the Brownies, suggests we resurrect this wonderful community event and I think it’s certainly the time to do so.
The Aren’t We Lucky articles we used to feature about walks in the area will be started again next year, but in the meantime, I must share with you a lovely walk my husband and I did a few weeks ago. It’s called the Watermill Walk and you can download the directions from the Camelford Town Council website. It’s eight miles long, takes about four hours and starts and finishes in Camelford car park. It skirts the moor so the views are outstanding and also gives the walker the opportunity to visit Advent Church, which is such a beautiful and peaceful place.
We’re delighted to welcome Maggie from White Goose as our new fashion contributor. Fusion have always provided excellent fashion articles in the past but have decided to hand over to another local business. We’d like to thank Rhowen and her team at Fusion for many years’ support. I hope you all enjoy the autumn, it’s my personal favourite season. Wonderful light, generally mild weather and a bit quieter after the busyness of the summer. Morwenna

15Visit our website - www.stminverlink.org Link Raises £1000 for Ukrainian Charities
The Link committee decided it was time to roll our sleeves up and do something to support Ukraine. We all underestimated the level of support we would receive from the Perceval Institute Committee, local businesses and our very generous community and the result was £1,000 raised in two hours! £500 was sent to the UNHCR Ukraine Appeal and £500 was donated to Outreach Paramedics, a charity suggested by Irina, one of our community’s Ukrainian visitors, who helped at the coffee morning. Thanks to everyone who supported the event.

Requests for children’s clothing (0-12years) continue to be made to the Grace Project via personal messenger on Facebook and Instagram and via email. Volunteers meet on a regular basis to sort the donations of clothing received. These clothes are then stored in boxes and when requests are received the clothing can easily be picked and packaged into large paper bags ready for collection from Egloshayle Church between 10am and 4pm any day of the week. With a huge boost to our funds, thanks to Chris and Bernice, The Grace Project is now able to extend the donations we make to families by purchasing new shoes for children. If requests are received for shoes that cannot be sourced from donations of pre-loved footwear received, new shoes will be purchased.
Helen Eustice
If you, or anyone you know, would benefit from receiving some children’s clothes (0-12years) then please do not hesitate to contact us. Thanks to so many generous donations of good quality children’s clothing, we have plenty to give to those who could use it.
Having launched The Grace Project a year ago volunteers have decided it is an opportune time to put energies in to further promotion of the project and this kicked off with a presence at Wadebridge Carnival where the banner was paraded as part of the procession and over a hundred flyers were handed out to children watching, explaining what the project is and how it can be accessed
Clothing Children Within Our Community
On Thursday 7th July 2022 Chris and Bernice Saitch of Chapel Amble kindly opened their beautiful home and gardens to raise funds for the Grace Project. Members of our local community were able to enjoy an afternoon of sunshine and delicious hospitality while exploring the extensive gardens that had been prepared to the highest of standards-there was not a weed in sight! So very many thanks must go to them both, and their friends who helped with the catering, for raising in excess of £850!!
The Link Committee were delighted that our winners of the Queen and Me competition (Link issue 233, summer 2022) let us know how much they had enjoyed their prizes of afternoon tea for two people at The Old Tea OscarHouse.even sent us a couple of phtotos and we all agreed that it looked delicious!

St Minver Silver Band
We welcome new players in any section, particularly cornet players. Any player who would like to join us should contact Garry Gauss on 01208 814170, or Peter Allen on 07980 302193. Our normal rehearsal nights are every Tuesday from 7 until 9 pm. Garry Gauss St Minver’s disappointment with our failure to be accepted in a higher league continues. For several years our finishing position in the East Cornwall League has meant we have earned a promotion spot to join the higher St Piran League, but when we apply we have been turned down because our dressing rooms are not big enough. The problem will of course be solved when the new Hub building is ready because we have been promised up to date facilities, but it seems that is not going to happen for a few years yet. In the meantime, the Parish Council recognise our frustrations, and as they may be altering their public toilet arrangements in the pavilion building , they have offered us a chance to use some spare space to extend our present dressing rooms. We are trying to work out how we can pay for the building work required. Back to the actual football. The lads are training hard and the first team open the season with a home match on August 20th. The Link has kindly sponsored our match balls for this season for which we are most grateful. This will enable us to put some extra into our building fund.
Our first ‘first team’ game at home in September is a KO Cup game v Foxhole on 10th September, 2.00pm kick-off. So make a note to come along and support your local club at Trewint Lane; we will entertain with our usual brand of attacking football. Roy Birchwood St Minver Football Club
We commenced our Polzeath summer beach concerts on Tuesday July 5th. This was a few weeks later than we had originally planned because preparations for the Jubilee Proms in the Park joint concert in Wadebridge on June 2nd took up a considerable amount of rehearsal time. Unfortunately, immediately after that first beach concert several key members of the band came down with Covid and we had to cancel the next two Tuesday concerts. We resumed on July 19th and, with luck, will now perform every Tuesday until early September, weather permitting. At the time of writing, we have the following list of planned Tuesdayengagements:6thSeptember – Final 2022 Polzeath beach concert Saturday evening 10th (time TBC) – combined bands Last Night of the Proms concert, Wadebridge Town Hall

Janet Townsend St Endellion Fete Draws In The Crowds
The annual fete was held in the most glorious weatherno anxiety about the rain or wind this year! Teas and the book stall were stationed in the cool hall , and everything else outside in marquees or gazebos. The fete was very well attended and armfuls of bargains and prizes were carried away by happy people, who were entertained by the St Minver Silver Band. The small children (and their parents) were captivated by the puppet show, shouting out the pantomime responses with great gusto. We had great help from the whole community and owe a big thank you to everyone who aided us in so many different ways - setting up, giving cakes and produce and other items to sell, helping on the day and clearing up afterwards.

I have been in many of the carnivals, either with the Brownies or with the Guides and for several years I have longed to be able enter the carnival with the Brownies, but unfortunately Rock Carnival is no longer held and entering Wadebridge Carnival has not been However,feasible.this year has been a first for us as we finally managed to get ourselves organised and enter Wadebridge Carnival. Wadebridge Guiding asked
The long, light summer evenings remind me of the perfect summers growing up in Rock and the great memories I have of the annual Rock Carnival. Held every summer, the carnival entries would gather at Pityme before heading down Rock Road to the beach car park where they would turn round; and then head to Trewint Playing field for an evening of games and Theentertainment.carnivalprocession would include Mr Tucker with his horses and carriage carrying the carnival queen and fairy princesses and a couple of majorette groups. I recall St Minver Scouts one year dressed as majorettes in very fetching yellow skirts with white t-shirts. This was loved by the 'locals' but did cause some upset amongst the visiting majorette groups. Alfie Finnemore would be around on his beautiful horse, ‘Topper’, while Margaret Lightfoot, the Wadebridge special constable would help deal with traffic management and crowd control on Rock Road. Mr Strout and Mr Spry were always impeccably dressed in their St John’s uniforms and would be on hand if any first aid was required. St Minver Silver Band turned out in force and filled Rock Road with all their latest melodies. Floats would be entered from St Minver playgroup and the local milkman even decorated his milk float. Walking groups included St Minver Cubs and Scouts, St Minver Guides and I think I recall a walking dragon from the Masters family at Rock Bakery. St Minver Brownies entered the Rock Carnival every year and most years won the best float. Many hours of painting, cutting, sticking and sewing where carried out by Richard and Kathy Hore to make the memorable Brownie float. No doubt if you were a Brownie in the village during the 1980s you will remember being in the carnival and you may even remember what you were dressed as! Take a look at some of the old photos and see if you recognise anyone? Wonderful childhood memories created at a great local annual event which everyone turned out for.

Katrina Bacon Editor: I also have happy memories of Rock Carnival and agree with Katrina that perhaps it’s time to resurrect this community event. Any groups out there willing to take the lead? Contact the Editor if so.
31Visit our website - www.stminverlink.org us to join with them as they were entering the carnival and we decided as a group this would be a perfect opportunity to fulfil my wish to give the girls the opportunity to create some memories and experience being in a carnival. We purchased yellow t-shirts and the girls all ironed their own strips onto their t-shirt. For most of the girls this was the first time they had used an iron and they all did a great job. They then made their own wings out of bubble wrap, wire and elastic. We purchased head boppers and they all had their own black leggings to wear. You have probably guessed, they were all busy bumble bees. What a great evening we had. The rain held off and the girls absolutely loved it. Wouldn’t it be lovely if we could have an annual Rock Carnival again?

Each evening on site saw the Scouts enjoying a great range of evening entertainment on a festival style stage. As well as a talent competition and an interactive competition, there were live bands and the evening was often topped off by the incredibly popular County Youth Commissioner who was otherwise known as ‘D.J. UsuallyStan’!on Scout Camp, our Scouts are very much involved with preparing and cooking Kernow 22
Thirty Scouts and their Leaders from 1st St. Minver Scout Group have enjoyed an incredible experience this summer at the Cornwall Scout & Guide Jamboree - ‘KERNOW 22’ - a week crammed with activities for a thousand people on site. Cornwall hosts a large Jamboree every three to four years and welcomes young people from Cornwall and much further afield. As one of the largest Scout Groups on site, we were part of a ‘Subcamp’ where every day saw a theme, including traditional Scouting skills such a campfire building, bivouac building etc… as well as crafts and making items including rope manufacturing. A wonderful day at Gwithian beach saw all taking part in surfing, but perhaps the highlight of the activities was Kernopoly‘Kernopoly’.was a real life, Cornish version of Monopoly, where the entire Group had travel passes for any Cornish train or bus for the day. There were points available for a photograph of the Group to be taken in particular locations all over Cornwall which were then bounced back to the coordinators at the Jamboree site. The more obscure places meant more points! That day, we travelled from Redruth to Penzance, onward to Lands End, to St. Ives, Bodmin, Liskeard, Lostwithiel and Truro via trains and busses finding locations and features whilst collecting photographs and points.

At a Jamboree like this, the Scouts are so busy, that our Leader team at 1st St. Minver made the decision beforehand to take on the entire catering role to enable the Scouts to maximise their Jamboree experience. Full cooked breakfasts, packed lunches with a wide choice and a hearty evening meal was prepared and cleared by our Leaders every day. I would once again like to thank St. Minver Link for their generous provision last year of another traditional Patrol Tent which, together with the rest of our equipment, was well used this summer. A piece of equipment like that, if looked after, will give years of useful service and will be used by dozens of Scouts. Thank you!

And of course to all of you swimmers – thank you, thank you, thank you. The total monies raised to date by the Swim for Marie Curie,is just over £780,000, so we could top the one million mark within the next two years. Let’s make it a million. See you in 2023. ‘
Padstow to Rock Swim Sunday, 26th June 2022
The start of the elite swim
Peter Tamblin
‘Welcome everyone, both new and returning Swimmers,’ said Peter Tamblin, the Swim Coordinator and Swim Committee Chairman, at the pre swim brief. ‘ The wind was a gusty westerly breeze, with occasional light rain showers, but by the afternoon and start time, there were glimpses of the sun. The river was a little bit of a challenge at the mid point, especially for the Non Elites, but was considered a very doable swim.
All the swimmers made it across, though some needed a little help on the way, and all arrived at Rock with a feeling of great satisfaction and were given a tumultuous welcome by family and friends. At Rock, the swimmers received their iconic swim t-shirt, a Barny’s pasty and water. The atmosphere at Rock was really party like and the sun came out to add warmth to the jubilant proceedings. Once all of the swimmers were safely ashore it was time to present the trophies. This year the Corporate Trophy was between Sharps Brewery and Rock Rail, both companies major sponsors of the Swim, and in the end Rock Rail won the day. The Hawkins Trophy, awarded for exceptional effort from anywhere within the swim spectrum, was awarded to Team Turner. This group of friends have contributed so much to the Swim over the past few years, including the production of swim banners, providing professional class photographic coverage of the swim, to baggage handling and post swim support at Rock. Terry Turner accepted the Trophy on behalf of Dave Seaman, Laurence Mathews, and their collective families.

I would like to thank the amazing committee and volunteers and, of course our sponsors : Mariners Lettings, Sharps Brewery, Rock Rail, The Harbour Hotel and Barnecutts. Special thanks must go to the RNLI at Rock and the Padstow Harbour Authority, without whose help the swim would not have been possible. Also thanks to Padstow Town Council, Padstow Sailing Club, Rock Sailing Club, Rock Marine Services, Brandon Hire, Jo Downs Glass for making and donating the fabulous Glass Trophies, Wave Hunters Night Ferry, Martin Broadfoot PA Systems, Sea Salt, Tatum Electrics, the Canoe Clubs of Wadebridge and St Austell, Padstow Sea Cadets, In Safe Hands Medical Team, Newquay Water Sports, Sunset Surf and Spar. And if I’ve missed anyone, it was unintentional.
At approximately 17.10, it was the turn of the Non Elites, who had viewed the progress of the Elites, to make their start. Off they went, some 241 of them.

2023?
So, at approximately 16.40, some 84 Elite swimmers set off in their red hats, creating quite a white water spectacle as they followed the lead Rib with Life Guards on boards, safety canoes and other safety craft all around them, to guide them across the just under one mile River Camel estuary.

It was during a house move, while sorting out her art supplies, that Reeve Massey came across a tiny canvas. Slightly later on, when clearing out kitchen drawers and pantry, she found a small bottle of Tabasco Sauce. With her artist’s mind she put the two together and this happy marriage has created a very successful line of miniature paintings of ordinary kitchen condiments and store cupboard staples.
Reeve originally studied textile design at Chelsea College of Art. She took courses in printmaking and knitwear and supplemented her skills with a variety of short courses including upholstery. As a student in London she made ends meet by working in hospitality at a variety of venues including a brewery and a cheesemongers. At one point she helped manage an event which involved one of the establishments of Nathan Outlaw. Relocating to Cornwall to develop her work as an artist followed. Art has always filled Reeve’s spare time. Her current range of miniatures has proven very Shesuccessful.describes how the size of these pieces demystifies the concept of owning an original artwork for a lot of her customers. Equally, they fit perfectly into the required balance of price point for a consumer versus financial return for the artist. She sells through Instagram, has a shop on Etsy and also sells orders directly. Reeve is frequently commissioned – and is happy to take orders - to paint the household staples. She likes the iconic packaging of these brands which so many of us take for granted and often don’t even give a second
Reeve’s soft launch for the ice cream business was in Port Isaac on Life Boat Sunday Personally,2018. I came across her on a hot sultry summer’s day, selling cold drinks and ices at the edge of Port Quin. You may well have come across her during lockdown at Port Quin Shed, a pop-up café located in a tractor storage barn on the land of Scarrabine Farm.
Featured Artist
Some will be more familiar with Reeve as the seller of ice cream from a bright yellow Piaggio Ape, an iconic Italian three wheeled truck. She had been fascinated by these vehicles for years and when she was eventually in the position to make a purchase, found one already converted into an ice cream truck.

Another of Reeve’s artistic pursuits is a range of quirky and amusing cards.

printed here in Cornwall, in Truro and, again, they are available from her Etsy shop. She has two small children, lives on a sheep farm and sells ice cream when the sun shines, but manages to paint in chunks of time in between the demands of family, house and home. Whilst the household miniatures are mostly painted in acrylic for ease and timing, Reeve prefers oil painting – for its depth and light reflective qualities, amongst others. Looking to the future, she would love to paint on a larger scale. A giant Aperol, perhaps. And also she is interested in developing her artistic practice towards impressionism, rather than the current photorealism. Between the art and the cards and the café and the ice cream, Reeve has a very busy life packed full of professional commitments and her family.

44 We welcome your stories and photographs Country Diary from Cobb Cottage
I was attempting to tidy a shelf in the kitchen the other day, and came across an old Christmas card, handmade, and laboriously written with an old calligraphic nib. Many of us will remember trying to learn ‘lettering’, using a pen holder and calligraphic nib; these came in a variety of sizes, on a card. Indian ink was the medium, jet black and unforgiving. A few dedicated still pursue this demanding form of writing today; it gave me a memory of my efforts when I was about nine years old. My Sunday School, a chapel at the top of our road, where I went every week, was one of two buildings. The one in front was brick built in the Georgian style; this was the boys’ chapel. Behind was the girls’ chapel, an unremarkable village hall; I liked it and the two very enthusiastic ladies who ran it, one of whom played the wheezy harmonium, with great gusto. One summer’s day we were given the task for the following week, to find a reference in the Bible to a plant or flower, and to bring along the next week, accompanied by the reference. I loved plants, so this was a task I looked forward to. I remembered hearing a reading from Proverbs: Better is a dinner of herbs, where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith So I looked around my father’s garden (his garden you note, not ours!) and asked if I could pick some herbs. He said yes and seemed pleased to point out mint, lavender and chives with their pink flowers, on his rockery. These I picked, savouring the scents, and made a little posy, which I kept fresh with wet cotton wool and silver paper (from a chocolate wrapper) and tied with a royal blue ribbon; I wrote the proverb on a label attached , with my calligraphic pen. However, it was a rather droopy little thing when I arrived on that hot summer’s afternoon, the lettering slightly smudged… The two ladies were very enthusiastic, and asked me to say a few words about it, which I did, very shyly. I got a certificate for it! Pity I didn’t keep it, but I kept my love of plants, herbs in particular. (I’m ashamed to say I don’t remember any of the other girls’ presentations…) When I look around my garden here at Cobb Cottage, as I sit here, I see fennel, yarrow, rosemary, cotton lavender, marjoram and so on. A trip to Bodmin Nursery always includes a look at the herb stand, and probably a purchase. Maybe my love of herbs started with that quotation from Proverbs. The date as I write is 17th July and we have a forecast of excessively high temperatures for the next two days, reaching to 40’ in London. For Cornwall 28’ is forecast. The last time we had any weather of extreme heat was the summer of 1976. I was teaching at the time and we changed hours to 8.15 until 2pm,

The Trebetherick Residents’ Association annual party, cancelled during the Covid epidemic, is once again being held in a marquee in Undertown Meadow, which is looking wonderful at the moment. The succession of flowers from early spring primroses, star of Bethlehem, narcissi and cowslips, bluebells, through to the height of summer with oxeye daisies, has been the best ever. Now in late summer, scabious form a blue mist above the tall ripe grasses, sharp yellow of lady’s bedstraw and the purple of Knapweed create an atmosphere the impressionist painters would have loved. Let’s hope the sun shines on August 6th, for the residents’ party. One more thing; I was watching Carol Klein on Channel 5 in her Devon garden, wanting to clear an area where potatoes had grown last year. The bed was full of self seeded growth,so she was digging up a good crop of potatoes as she worked. ‘These,’ she said, ‘are known as volunteers!’ I like that- we’ve all known that volunteers have always been a good thing.

Well, I pick up my pen again on the 19th July; Monday was a very hot day here 34’ as we drove to Port Isaac. The highest recorded temperature ever in Cornwall was 36’. Today it is cooler with some light rain, a wonderful relief as the rain falls on dry soil and the smell of petrichor rising from the ground. There is no other smell so welcome. In spite of the dire warnings, most people seemed to be enjoying the heat! Ice cream sales went over the top and Prince Charles and Camilla, visiting Cornwall, were obviously very pleased to be offered Cornish Clotted Cream ice cream.

You would think that a young chef would be daunted by the extent of her responsibilities, but Ellie relishes the challenge. ‘I love cooking and I love controlling a kitchen; it’s interesting running a team as everyone has to be managed differently. I got into cooking because my mum is a baker and I’ve always wanted to be a chef. Being a chef suits me as I’m a night owl and don’t mind the long days. My favourite type of cooking is Asian; I love preparing, cooking and eating Asian food and am saving up to visit Singapore again.’

The Bodmin Arts Society firmly believes that art brings people together through a shared curiosity. They have certainly lived up to this principle over the last few years as the Art Society and the children at Wadebridge Primary Academy have been forging ever closer links with each other. Recently, the Art Society HQ in London were concerned that the arts had suffered as a result of the pandemic, so they offered a grant to help their member societies support a local art cause. Bodmin Art Society obtained this grant which they offered to the school to help Wadebridge Primary Academy with their latest exciting project. The importance of the creative subjects has always been highly valued by the school, so when a classroom became free, it was quickly decided to repurpose the space and turn it into an inspiring art studio where the children could have increased freedom to create their work.

Stepper Point Headland In sunshine we spot it, far out to sea a grey blur, barrelling toward us, wind buffeting our backs. Hoods up, we hike the high cliffs until, with icy fists, rain pummels us, soaks trousered legs, feet squelching in sodden shoes, and it sweeps past, trailing arcs of indigo, scarlet and orange that form, fade and reform, alchemy of sun and rain. We slip and slither down a steep trail that runs like a stream, its stones slick, our trick to stay upright in rugged country. Septuagenarian bones creak and complain as we clamber over sturdy field walls, scramble to the far cliff top, high, and see another racing squall, anticipate its assault, its wonderrainbows bounding in rain stung skies. Liz Pearman This lovely poem was written by Liz Pearman of Doom Bar House after a family walk on a stormy day last October from Trevone to Padstow via the coastal path around Stepper Point. It precisely describes the wide views you get on a winter coastal walk, the inevitable soaking and the mesmerising sight of yet another approaching squall!
Of course, such projects can be difficult to resource, but The Art Society of Bodmin was supportive and offered a grant so that the school could purchase some extra items to complete the project. Mrs Keat, the school’s Art Lead, explained to society member, Richard Brice, who is the committee member responsible for Young Arts, that the school had purchased some screen print frames with the grant which enabled the children to broaden their printmaking experiences. Mr Brice was able to see a range of creative outcomes which the children had produced during their art week and was very impressed by their unique and high-quality creations.

One final dress up day took part just before the school finished for summer with pupils invited by the Slate House Captains to wear summer clothes to school in exchange for donations for Ukraine. In total £200 was raised and this has been given to the Wadebridge Supports Ukrainians charity, helping those within our local community.
Later that week they spent an action packed three day residential in London, which included trips on the London Eye, visits to the Museums and taking in a show.
Having undertaken their ‘transition’ to secondary school, the Year 6 pupils then worked hard to perform a production of Robin Hood during their final days at the school. Many thanks must go to Mrs Hall and Mrs McCutcheon for their time in making this happen.

For me the use of chemicals is a no no. I like to think that nature will take its course, ladybirds, bees, birds and other insects are the gardener’s allies, so I refrain from spraying hazardous chemicals at the first sign of problems to give natural armies a chance to go to work.
My tip: mow beneath trees to shred contaminated fallen leaves, then mulch with compost. Blight Tomatoes and potatoes are affected; symptoms which include brown discolouration of leaves which rot, dark patches on skin as flesh
Greenback Fruit on the stalk end which doesn’t ripen and remains hard and green also results from overheating by direct sunlight. Also, it can be caused by potash deficiency. To remedy, shade and ventilate your greenhouse and feed with a high potash feed e.g. Tomorite.
Symptoms: a brown or black patch on the blossom end of the fruit. I’m afraid this is your fault; you are either watering irregularly or you are not following the instructions carefully when making up your liquid fertiliser feed. All you can do is to remove the rotted fruits and water and feed with more care. My tip is to add some crushed eggshells at planting stage to boost calcium levels.
Mildews Fruits and vegetables affected, a white powdery coating on leaves of fruit and vegetables. To remedy, water and mulch soil frequently to help it maintain moisture. Avoid Nitrogen-rich, fertilisers; grow resistant varieties. Do not grow susceptible varieties where soil is likely to dry out.
My tip for rose mildew- mix 1 tablespoon of baking powder with ¼ pint of milk and add a teaspoon of cooking oil; stir and pour into a hand sprayer liberally coat both sides of leaves of the affected rose. The baking powder and the milk are the effective ingredients and the oil helps the mixture stick to leaves. Please note this is an organic solution. Scab Crab apples and pyracanthas are among affected plants. Scabs on fruits which may crack when scabs merge and become Treatmentcorky.issimple, cut out and burn scabby shoots. Burn diseased leaves.
Tomato Mosaic Resulting in yellow mottled and curled leaves. Leaves sometimes become fern like.
Fruit and Veg Disorders
The most common disorder is blossom-end rot.
How to keep your garden fit and healthy
Gardening Made Easy by Nick Bacon
Disorders of Tomatoes
Brown vertical streaks appear on tomato stems and plants growth is stunted. Remedy; destroy affected plants, roots and all leaves. Brown Rot This disorder affects all tree fruits. The symptoms are the fruit turning brownish white and are often covered with white concentrically ringed fungus spores then wither and shrink. Treatment is to destroy all rotten and withered fruits. Cut out dead wood when pruning. Avoid storing fruit that’s wet, bruised or damaged. Deter birds, wasps and caterpillars that cause wounds to fruits through which fungi may enter.

I you with the latest breaking news…..
My tip: spray sour milk on to emerging leaves before earthing up and repeat with sour milk into the early part of July. Pliny the Elder had a novel way of preventing blight that was to hang dead tomato plants from the branches of an apple tree or burn them beneath it.
There are hundreds of disorders that I could have mentioned; the ones in the article are likely to be prevalent at this time of the year.

The one thing you will always hear beekeepers talk about is the weather – it’s too cold, too hot, too wet or too drythe typical English summer and so far, this summer has brought us a bit of everything. The Beekeeper is constantly vigilant; during June weekly inspections we are looking for signs of swarming, not only are there any queen cells but has the queen enough room to lay eggs – at the height of summer she will lay up to two thousand eggs per day and a full colony can hold over sixty thousand bees. Why so many and what do they all do? The summer bee is all about forage, as the weather warms and flowers produce both pollen and nectar, worker bees are out collecting to feed the developing bees and to lay down their honey stores. We must remember that bees collect honey not for humans to consume but to feed adult bees and larvae as well as sustain it through the winter months. As flowers bloom in July bees take advantage of this and on a hot day will collect as much as they can. A summer worker bee lives for only forty two days and collects a fraction of a teaspoon of honey over this time. The hive needs a lot of bees to gather in enough

Beekeepers add additional supers – boxes containing the frames that hold honey stores – to give bees enough room for storage and a strong hive can take five or six super Itboxes.isstill important that bees are inspected regularly during summer, to check the colony is healthy and has enough room to thrive; the stronger the colony, the better their chances of surviving through winter. As we move into late summer nectar flows reduce and bees will guard their honey stores literally with their lives. Wasps and other bees will be on the lookout for a
quick sweet meal. Beekeepers help by making sure the hives are secure, with no holes, and reduce the size of the entrance space making it easier for bees to protect their valuable stores, especially the weaker colonies. A successful summer will yield a crop of beautiful golden honey from a well-protected hive.

Emma was working as an NHS Health and Wellbeing Practitioner when the pandemic started and she came up with the idea of setting up a business running creative clay workshops from the premises in Wadebridge she has designed and created ‘Thisherself.isthe purest form of creativity,’ said Emma. ’There is no potter’s wheel, just a lump of silky-smooth air-dried clay and a skull-ature on which to form the basic shape.’ In this relaxed and sociable environment, the face is built up around the skull-ature and becomes something individual as the character develops. ‘It’s fascinating the way everyone has the same instructions, but that no two sculptures end up the same,’ said Emma, ‘People are sometimes nervous at the beginning but soon relax as they enjoy the wonderful texture of the clay and the opportunity to do something so creative, yet so therapeutic, for a couple of hours, and then take home their own work of art.’ These workshops are for a broad range of clients of all ages from five and could be for a family group, a hen party, or just a group of friends wanting to relax and do something creative together for a change.
Emma has made her business as sustainable as possible; the skull-atures are made in Bodmin from recycled plastic , the air dried clay can be re-constituted by adding water and she makes all the clay tools herself. She also produces and sells kits so that the sculptures can be made at Therehome.is room for up to twelve people on a course, but Emma also runs art therapy sessions, private workshops and a one hour messy play session a week during term time for toddlers and their carers.

Veteran readers of Link will be familiar with the name, Jonathan Stedall. A distinguished, and hugely admired, documentary filmmaker; his conversation with John Betjeman in Daymer Lane, Trebetherick, will never be forgotten. A cerebral search for truth characterises much of his work, and this was particularly evident in his semi-autobiographical tome, Where on Earth is Heaven? An unexpected different talent emerged in No Shore too Far, a profound and poignant volume of poems, largely focusing on death, grief and Athope.first glance An Enchanted Place could hardly be a greater contrast. The title phrase is taken from Winnie the Pooh, and the action takes place ON the Ashdown Forest, A.A Milne’s backyard, and the site of a proposed road in this story. Residents of the village of Hartfield, birthplace of Winnie the Pooh, form an Action Group under the stewardship of Bunny to oppose the plan. It soon becomes clear that each member of the group bears close similarities to Milne’s original creations. Readers will enjoy making their own links, but to set the scene, recently arrived Sheila must be ‘Kanga’, and her five year old son ‘Roo’. The plot is relatively simple. The search for a colony of rare snails called whorls, the presence of which having fortified the protest about the Newbury bypass, became the principal aim of the deeply concerned community. It is not until much later in the story that the author provides the full name. ‘Desmoulins whorl snail’, listed now as endangered.Thefateofthe road is incidental, (ultimately confirmed in a postscript). The structure of the book closely follows Winnie the Pooh, with twenty short episodic chapters, each prefaced with a Milne-like one-sentence summary. The story might conclude with the shelving of the planned bypass, and the threat of a Disney takeover of Ashdown Forest, but it is the thoughts and conversations of the principal characters that provide some profound images and questions. Most, but not all, of these emanate from the heart and soul of Bertie, an aspiring poet, a keeper of bees, and an avid reader of books ‘in search of the bigger picture’. Friends of the author will recognise Jonathan Stedall in Bertie for much of the latter’s philosophical musings are so evident in the former’s work: the education of children, loneliness, anxiety, lack of confidence, and even more reflectively, dying, death, reincarnation, spiritual life, eternity, and the existence of ThisGod.is a delightful book. Familiarity with Winnie the Pooh is not essential but will be helpful in identifying Milne’s characters and the situations in which they find themselves. A deeply thoughtful approach is characteristic of all Jonathan Stedall’s work, and this enchanting tale concludes with a Bertie poem in which the theme of ecology is tantalisingly raised.

As summer blends into autumn there are always reminders of this seasonal change if we look around us, familiar things, often in the house or the garden. For instance, wasps getting a bit drowsy and getting in through open windows and then causing fear amongst some of us that they may get stung, whereas all they really want is to feed and get out. Fallen apples in orchards and even in our fruit bowls start to turn past their best and wasps love nothing more than to feast on this sweet fruit. In an orchard it’s a bonanza feeding event for Manywasps.people stop feeding the birds during the summer months when there is usually ample wild food in the hedgerows and also in order that the young nestlings get fed on a rich diet of insects and after fledging learn to forage for food themselves instead of being fed by us. When we do start to feed in our gardens one of my favourite birds to come to my feeders full of sunflower hearts is the bullfinch. Actually it should be bullfinches plural, as they are rarely seen without being in a pair . The male sports a stunning pink/red breast and a pitch black head, whilst the female has some more subtle colouring with greys and buff being the main colours, most useful when trying to camouflage itself when sat on a nest in a hedge. Late September is a traditional time to hear the vocal interaction of tawny owls as the adults try to encourage this year’s young to leave the nest territory and move out into the big wide world. Apart from the well-known ‘to-whit-to-woo’ calls they also make a loud ‘kewick’ call that can take us

Pincushion is a very colourful red hairy growth usually found growing on dog or field roses in our hedgerows. Its correct name is the Bedeguar Gall, it is a gall caused by the larvae of a tiny gall wasp, Dipoloepis Rosae. The gall turns redder as autumn progresses from summer. Each gall holding many grubs, which feed on the gall tissues throughout the winter and then emerge in the spring as adults. Look out for it in almost any of our hedgerows that have wild ‘Chestnutsroses.

roasting on an open fire’ is such a wellknown song associated with Christmas that we forget that the chestnuts mature and fall from the Sweet Chestnut trees in the autumn. Not a common Cornish tree, the sweet chestnut was always thought of as a tree from warmer climes, Southern Europe, North Africa and Asia and yet the roasting of the fruit at Christmas is often thought of as a very British tradition. I love finding the green spikey cases that house the shiny brown chestnuts more than I do eating them. Also I find them rather photogenic!

I’m pleased to let you know that households across North Cornwall will receive non-repayable discounts on their energy bills this winter, as the government sets out details of the Energy Bills Support Scheme. The £400 discount, administered by energy suppliers, will be paid to consumers over six months with payments starting from October 2022, to ensure households receive financial support throughout the winter months. Those with a domestic electricity meter point paying for their energy via standard credit, payment card and direct debit will receive an automatic deduction to their bills over the six month period – totalling £400. Traditional prepayment meter customers will be provided with Energy Bill discount vouchers in the first week of each month, issued via SMS text, email or post, using the customer’s registered contact details. These customers will need to take action to redeem these at their usual top-up point, such as their nearest local PayPoint or Post Office branch. In all cases, no household should be asked for bank details at any point. Ministers are urging consumers to stay alert to potential scams and report these to the relevant authorities where they are suspected. A large part of my constituency casework this summer has been about passports and intervening when there have been delays. My team has been working hard to ensure that people in North Cornwall get their passports back in time for holidays that they’ve booked in advance. If you are having problems with this or any other issue then please do contact me via scott@scottmann.org.uk.

I spent the day at the Launceston Agricultural show and really enjoyed meeting people, some old faces and many new ones. I held an open question and answer session with National Farmers Union members, and I have several action points which I will be taking back to Westminster with me when Parliament is sitting again. Agriculture is a very important part of North Cornwall’s economy and plays an extremely important role in our culture and landscape. Protecting our key agricultural businesses from harmful regulations and overbearing red tape is something which I hope the next Prime Minister will continue to do. Now that we are outside of the European Union, we can shape our agricultural sector in a way that benefits the UK’s regions and our farmers, rather than the previous ‘one size fits all’ approach imposed on us by the EU TheCommission.costofliving remains a top priority for me.
