A group of schoolfriends annually hold a coffee morning and after party this year raising £3400.

Organised by the Market Deeping Community Primary PTFA their coffee morning raised £246.35.

Deepings Sports & Social Club hosted the coffee morning organised by Michelle Davenport and supported by hundreds to raise £4450!

Welcome

One of the many proud boasts of the Deepings is the number of the determined fundraisers who live among us! Their fundraising achievements peak in the early autumn when thousands of pounds are raised for MacMillan – in the world’s biggest coffee morning. Fuelled by the area’s great love of coffee and cake, those collection boxes swell and with them the coffers of this most deserving of charities!

I’d rather be in Deeping magazine pays grateful tribute to their efforts and looks forward (as always) to supporting this great cause next year!

Just as the nights started to get chilly Emma and Frazer of The Red Lion, West Deeping, decided to light the fire in the bar. What they were not counting on was the fumes that began to seep into the pub and their living quarters above!

Drastic action was called for and this is when Dave Frazer and Emma King The Red Lion Tucker from DT Stoves turned up and worked his magic with the installation of a new stove, paid for by the pub’s landlord. He inserted a new metal flue into the chimney space. The ensuing work called for a specialist heritage stonemason, Steve of Heritage Granite & Quartz. Gradually and tantalisingly centuries of stonework and horsehair plasterwork were taken down to reveal the original inglenook and fireplace dating back to 1600. Unusual archways either side of the fireplace were likely erected when the top floor was added in the 1700s. Buoyed up with their success and with the generous donation of a stove by a neighbour, the fireplace in the adjoining bar was also opened up, again revealing an older inglenook. When you visit don’t forget to ask where the paw print is!

The

Tailor

of Deeping

18

‘In the time of swords and periwigs and full-skirted coats with flowered lappets – when gentlemen wore ruffles, and gold- laced waistcoats of paduasoy and taffeta – there lived a tailor… All day long while the light lasted he sewed and snippeted, piecing out his satin and pompadour…’

Beatrix Potter

FEATURE

And so it was in Deeping; before the advent of sewing machines in 1790 all clothes were cut and stitched by hand, just as bespoke tailors work today. From the Middle Ages to the eighteenth century the way in which the desired fit was obtained remained a trade secret, revealed only when a master tailor handed over his business to someone else – in the case of Deeping and the Holland Family this secret was passed from father to son.

John Holland’s family can be traced back to the early eighteenth century. Their Towngate house was reputed to have been built around 1650 and is now grade 2 listed, so possibly it was built even earlier than that. They dressed the gentlemen and the military personnel of Market Deeping and were known for their horse-riding attire for huntsmen. John was listed as a tailor in a 1798 trade directory, two years after his son Thomas was born.

Thomas was soon introduced to the family business and in the 1828 White’s Directory the two of them are listed as working together. Thomas had married Mary Brown at St Guthlac’s in August 1813 and assured the continuity of the family trade when they had a son, James, baptised in St Guthlac’s in 1815.

Grandfather John’s death at the age of 65 was recorded in 1836 but James had already taken the reins and along with John Pope, an apprentice and Sarah Kelton, a servant, the family tradition continued. James married a farmer’s daughter, Mary Fevre from Eastfield in Peterborough, in 1842 and a year later the couple welcomed a son, Frederick (known as Fred) into the world.

Emily, the eldest daughter of James and Mary, married John Chapman in 1871.

John was an assistant draper working for George Shillaker, Draper & Grocer of Church Street, Market Deeping. They had two children Henry (b.1875) and Florence (b.1879).

Thomas died aged 50 in 1846, his wife Mary moving in with James until her demise in 1863. James had a further four children and was listed in an 1849 directory as a tailor and woollen draper. After his Uncle John’s death in 1852 he took on the grocery side of the business as well. Fred left home as a teenager to become an apprentice baker and grocer to George Franklin of Langtoft. It was a happy day in Oakham on 6th April 1869 when the bells rang out for his wedding to Ann Wells Killinger of Weldon. The couple made their home at a house in Towngate, joining the family business and having three children; Frederick (b.1870), Jesse (b.1873) and Ethel (b.1878).

David Holland with grandfather, Frederick

Fred senior was thought to have diabetes, which caused his untimely death aged 41 in 1884. He left just over £203 in his will and Ann and their son Fred carried on the grocery and bakery. Henry, Fred Junior’s uncle (b.1847), had left home to train as a baker but as listed in the 1881 Census had returned to help with this side of the business. Also living at the family home were Jessie (b.1851), listed as a dressmaker, and Kate (b.1853) who was helping with domestic duties. Later that year Henry married widow Sarah Donsworth in Clapham; she had been born in Barnack in 1845, a member of the Newborn family. The couple settled in Towngate, bought land, acquired some cattle and had one daughter, Jessie Louise. in 1881. Sadly Sarah died in 1893.

Four years after the Census had been taken James’ daughter Jessie married Henry Smith at Market Deeping. Henry was an apprentice to Frederick Dickenson, Chemist and Druggist continued >

FEATURE of St Mary’s Street, Stamford, before opening his own business in Hornsey, London. Kate remained at home to look after the house for James and Mary with the tailoring business still flourishing. Eventually in 1895, at the age of 42, Kate married George Letts of the firm Cliff & Co, Peterborough. The wedding took place at St Guthlac’s, Kate walking down the aisle on the arm of her father James.

The brother of the groom was best man and the bridesmaids were Ellen Holland and Florence Chapman, nieces of the bride. After a honeymoon in Yarmouth the couple set up home in Peterborough.

Having reached the great age of 82 years, James died in February 1897 and so ended 200 hundred years of the Holland family tailoring in Market Deeping. The last military uniforms he made were for young men who had volunteered to fight in the Boer War. During his life he had amassed a considerable amount of property and land. His own house and land he left to his youngest, Kate; the house and land next door occupied by his daughter-in-law, Ann Wells, was given to Ann; and Henry received the house and land in which he was living, as well as land in Linchfield which James had bought from Towngate farmer Thomas Newton Thistledown. The six properties that made up Horsegate Terrace ,previously owned by the Nutts, farmers and horse dealers, went to Jessie (and burnt down in 1901). Emily received four Horsegate cottages and a cottage and garden in Linchfield Road which had been left to her father by Robert Smith.

The family also received shares in the National Temperance Land and Building Co. which had been set up in London in 1854 by William Shaen, a radical Unitarian solicitor. All directors and shareholders had to declare that they were all non-conformists and abstainers.

Henry and Ann also received £125 each and granddaughter Florence Chapman £25 to be held in trust until she became 21.

In April 1897, as executors of the late James’ will, Henry and Kate Letts were charged at Bourne Petty Sessions of having an unstamped pint measure in use in their premises. Henry Holland pleaded guilty and was fined £1 and costs.

According to a trade directory of 1900 David Holland Ann is listed as a shopkeeper and Henry as a cow keeper. It seems that Henry had not recovered from the premature death of his wife and having sold his farm and share of the business he moved to Peterborough. In 1914 at the age of 66 he was found dead in bed after having been missed by his neighbours for a week. His 20

daughter, Mrs Jessie Andrews, also lived in Peterborough.

It was said that he was of temperate habits, eccentric but good company. When he was found there was no money or food in the house and he had been selling furniture. He had lived alone for two years and would not be persuaded to take lodgings. It was concluded that he had died in his sleep of heart failure.

Back in Deeping Ann continued to run the grocery with the help of her son Fred and daughter Ethel (b.1878). Ann’s other daughter, Jessie having died in 1886 at the age of 13. She had been to visit her uncle, Mr Elliott, grocer of Wellington Frederick James Street, Luton. She developed a headache which rapidly got worse over a two-day period and she died. It was assumed that she had diabetes as her father had done but this was not conclusive as there wasn’t an inquest. In November 1901 Ethel married Alfred, the son of Henry Senescall, the manager of the New Inn (now the Stage). Alfred was a rural postman working out of the Market Deeping office. After their marriage they moved to Fotheringhay and then to Great Stepping where Ann Wells died in 1919. She left £500 in her will to be invested to provide an income for Ethel and the rest was left to Fred.

Fred had married Ethel Burchnall, a talented artist, at the Priory Church in 1910. She had been given away by her father, a head teacher in the village, and her bridesmaids were Miss Burchnall and Miss Teet. Mr Longman from Market Deeping was best man. Dressed in cream silk and lace with matching hat, the bride carried an ivory prayer book, a gift from her husband. The reception was held at Bridge Street, Deeping St James, the bride’s home. After a honeymoon in Matlock the couple returned to run the Towngate shop. 1911 was a Coronation year and parties and celebrations all needed a great deal of baking to be provided. All the children received a beaker with George V and Mary printed on it, were served tea and all went home with a bun.

The couple had three children, James, George and Ellen (who died shortly after birth). They embraced village life up in Towngate. Fred had been in the Market Deeping football team in his younger days and as well as running the shop he was a rural postman. On Sundays the ovens would be heated to cook traditional continued >

It was 2d to cook lunch and a half a penny for the apple pies. Towngate Feast Week entailed even more baking, extra bread, cake and mince pies for all residents, family and visitors. Feast cake, containing spices, fruit and candied peel, were much in demand.

cultured twin pearl dress ring was a gift from the groom. Bridesmaid was Pamela Cunningham in kingfisher blue, best man was Richard Dash and ushers were the bride’s brothers, Frederick and David. The church had been decorated by Mrs Tunnicliffe and Mrs Day and the choir was in attendance with Mrs Mathias at the organ. The reception for 60 was at the Georgians from which the couple left for an undisclosed honeymoon location. Jean was a weaver with Luke Turner Ltd of Peterborough while Cecil served with RAF Waddington and the couple set up home at Starmores Caravans in Halfleet.

An accomplished pianist, Ethel played at numerous charity-raising events, when books were sold to raise money for the Peterborough Memorial Hospital and an annual outing to Skegness was arranged with Mrs Landan for all Towngate children. To raise funds for David with mother Hilda Holland the outing a May Queen processed through the town accompanied by children singing. In 1933 it was Grace Robinson attended by Roy Plowright and Stuart Roper and £3. 3s 4d was raised for the outing.

Fred died in 1932 after three months’ illness; he was 62. Ethel carried on running the shop until 1953. She left all the money from her Prudential insurance policies after funeral expenses to her nephew William Burchnall. The rest of her estate, including the house, was left to her two sons.

Her son James had married Elsie Smitheringale in 1939 and lived at 225 Cromwell Road, Peterborough. James was a sorting clerk and telegraphist at the Peterborough Post Office. George became a carpenter and married Hilda Wright from Northborough in 1940. They had three children Frederick (b.1941) Jean (b.1944) and David (b.1950). George and Hilda continued to run the shop, opening at six in the morning. Said George, ‘It wasn’t really for custom but people waiting outside for the Peterborough bus liked to come in for a chat and buy some cigarettes, especially when it was raining.’ The couple decided to close the shop on the corner of Halfleet and Towngate before Decimal Day on 15th February 1971, George then going to work for E.F Hare’s wood yard in the Market Place.

In 1965 their daughter Jean married Cecil Yeomans of Yately, Camberley.

Revd Davies officiated and the bride wore white with a shoulderlength veil held by a coronet of crystals and pearls. She carried a bouquet of white carnations, lilies of the valley, freesias, blue stephanotis and ivy leaves. Her

In the following year, on her 21st birthday, it was Pamela Cunningham’s turn to glide up the aisle. This time it was at the Priory Church and the groom was Frederick Holland. The bride, of Park Estate, Deeping St James, wore a model gown of white satin with a bodice embroidered with silk and lace. A shoulder-length bouffant veil was held by flowers matching the bodice, she carried a bouquet of cerise feathered carnations, lilies of the valley and ivy leaves. Her cousin, Yvonne Richards, was her bridesmaid in a gown of emerald green wild silk, a train falling from each shoulder, and a headdress of cerise flowers with matching shoes. Mr F. Palmer was best man and the groomsman was Mr S. Cunningham, the bride’s uncle. Ushers were David Holland and Victor Starsmore. The choir sang and the organ was played by Mr Skillings and as the wedding party came out of the church the bells rang and lucky tokens were presented to the bride by her brother Edward, her cousins Linda Cunningham and Stephen Richards, and her nephew ,Darren Mead. The reception was at The Georgians and the honeymoon was taken in London.

The couple settled in a new Alison House in Frognall. Pamela was a despatch clerk at the British Horticultural Co Werrington, and Frederick worked in the building trade. He died prematurely in 1996 aged just 55.

David at his wedding with bride, Sandra Oliver In 1971 there were six attendants at the wedding at the Priory Church of Sandra Oliver, only daughter of Mr and Mrs Oliver of Eastgate, to David Holland. Sandra was a receptionist at Buckles & Co and David was a sub-contractor for Carlton Homes, in his spare time playing for Deeping Rangers. The bride wore a dress of white chiffon with a lace bodice and matching trail and short veil. She carried pink carnations and blue freesias with a single white orchid. Bridesmaids Angela Watson and Diane Stuart were cousins of the bride; Linda Bollam, Angela Stoddart, Linda Clarke were friends and Annabelle Holland was the bridegroom’s niece.

Best man was Frederick Holland. The reception was at the Deepings Secondary School from where the couple left for a honeymoon in London, the bride neatly attired in aquamarine with navy blue accessories. They settled at 39 Bramley Road.

In 1994 David moved back to Towngate with his second wife and remained there until 2002 – the house remaining in the Holland family for 450 years.

PROFILE FEATURE

The Deepings School

The Vision of Headmaster, Alun Ebenezer Vision and Ethos The Deepings School is on a journey to become one the best schools in this country – state or private.

It is what our young people deserve and what the community needs. To achieve this vision, creating the right ethos and culture is everything.

And it’s not just about what happens in the classroom but outside of it as well. We are keen to increase our co-curriculum offer and provide a wide range of clubs, societies, experiences and trips for our pupils which cannot be learned from textbooks and test tubes.

Can do attitude High standards It is an ethos built upon strict discipline and firm boundaries. We insist that our pupils have the highest standards of uniform and appearance, behaviour and attitude, attendance and punctuality. How they dress, the way they speak, posture and body language are of the utmost importance. We want our pupils to live and breathe good manners and know how to behave appropriately in different settings.

Preparing young people for life If COVID-19 has taught us anything, it is that there is more to life than exams. Exams tell a truth about a young person, an important truth, but they do not tell the whole truth. Young people must know that they are worth more than the 10 numbers (or letters) and 3 grades they get at the end of their school career.

The Deepings should therefore be about preparing young people for life and our starting point is to ask what does an 18 year old need to know, be and have to make it in life. Departments then put curriculum maps and programmes of study in place to ensure pupils are exposed to the knowledge and experiences they need, and develop the skills they require, in each subject area. This curriculum is then brought to life by researched-based pedagogy and inspirational teaching – a real focus for us this year, supported and improved by Lead Practitioners within the school and across the Trust.

24

As a free school meal boy who grew up in the South Wales valleys, I am very aware of all the untapped talent in this country. Some of the most enterprising, resilient people I have ever met were at the top of the Rhondda valley and on the back streets of Ebbw Vale.

I will never accept that the brightest minds, sharpest intellects, greatest leaders, orators and captains of industry in this country just happen to be from the upper classes. To that end, we are determined to create a culture at The Deepings of high expectation and no excuses, where all pupils enjoy learning and have a real ‘can do attitude’. They need this attitude if they are to be successful in their GCSEs, A Levels, and in whatever they choose to do in life. Our pupils need to give everything a go; never give up, never give in and never know when they are beaten. They stick at a problem until it is solved, try new things, take risks and push boundaries.

Critical thinking We encourage our pupils to think critically and ask deep, searching questions. We want them to really engage their minds and evaluate and challenge what they are being taught in the classroom and the world around them. We want them to have the confidence to speak up, make a stand, go against the crowd, hold strong views, be able to disagree, but do so respectfully and with kindness. There is nothing more attractive than kindness and nothing uglier than spitefulness.

A cooperative The Deepings is a real cooperative. It is all our school and as such relies completely on total buy in from parents, teachers, pupils, governors and founders.

Parents are crucial. They expect the best and rightly so. I have a son and what I want for him I should ensure I provide for other parents’ children. I welcome the parents who phone up with their issues and suggestions of how we can improve but equally trust and support us to do what is best. Our aim is that 99% of our parents are supportive and 60% are properly engaged.

Taking the chickens out of the coop We are determined that The Deepings takes its seat at the top table of the educational establishment. One of my favourite books is Fire in Babylon, about the West Indies Cricket team. In the book a story is told about a West Indian bus driver in the West Midlands telling his son about the first time the West Indies beat England in a Test match. He says, ‘The first time we beat them wasn’t the big thing. It was Lord’s son – going into their own backyard and taking their chickens out of the coop and frying them on the front lawn.’ Over the next few years, The Deepings aims to go into the established education’s backyard, take the chickens out of the coop and fry them on the established order’s front lawn. But to make it happen, we need the whole community behind us and to join the revolution.

PROFILE FEATURE PROFILE FEATURE

DEEPINGS BARGAIN HUNT

l-r Lynda and Stuart Hall (Signal Box) Clare Stubbins (Mkt Dpg Antiques) Tory Griffiths & Carol Shaw (Shaws Coaches) Jessica Spencer (Stamford Auction Rooms).

All going on a bargain hunt!

Fresh from her TV appearances on Cash in the Attic, auctioneer Jessica Spencer (nee Wall) joined the two teams assembled at Market Deeping Antiques to take part in the 2022 Deepings Bargain Hunt!

This year Tory and Carol from Shaws Coaches pitted their treasure-hunting skills against Signal Box Rebuild team, Lynda and Stuart.

Claire, Sue and Nathan from Market Deeping Antiques were on hand to help the challenge on its way!

With £50 each from I’d rather be in Deeping magazine the teams were off! Tory and Carol made the running initially when they quickly identified a watch brooch in one of the cabinets deftly unlocked by Claire. They had been attracted by the sparkles and as Carol said, ‘it would look lovely on a jacket lapel.’ Jessica concurred, explaining that it was made of marquisate, sparkly to imitate diamonds but a nice piece nonetheless and if a price could be negotiated from its tag price of £20 then there might be some profit at auction. Indeed there was and with a price of £15 the deal was done.

Meanwhile Lynda and Stuart had spied a pair of crystal candlesticks They had caught Lynda’s eye straightaway as being unusual and elegant. Jessica discovered that they were from Nachtmann glassware and probably 50s or 60s in date. With a negotiated price of just £8, Jessica felt that they could do well at auction.

A tray of tiny pill boxes twinkled and Jessica advised that while one on its own would not sell at auction a selection would. Tory and Carol set about amassing a collection of them. Jessica picked out one as being foreign silver, not having a hallmark as we do in the UK; the figure 800 was imprinted on its base. With a price of just £10, Tory and Carol went on to their next purchase.

Only £5 for a black lacquered box with a glass painted panel depicting a bird and flowers, using a technique known as verreglomise, was easily dated as Victorian

by Jessica, and even with a damaged hinge she felt it well worth its price ticket, but suggested coupling it with another box. Carol and Tory soon found another Victorian wooden box; this time its lid was working and it had a nice clean interior and faux marquetry on the continued >

BARGAIN HUNT lid – negotiated down from its tag price of £6.50 to £3.25 it made up the pair nicely.

With Christmas in mind and with an eye for nice jewellery, it wasn’t long before Lynda had found a silver and enamelled pendant and ring. Described as ‘Mother of Pearlesq’ by Jessica it made its way into Lynda and Stuart’s haul at a bargain price of just £8.95, down from £10.95 Tory and Carol had identified Royal Crown Derby as a collectable brand likely to obtain a good price at auction, and so when they saw the sweet dish in design 1128, a pattern known as Imari they were keen to snap it up. Jessica cautioned that the value of Crown Derby had decreased in recent years

but if they could get a better price than the £22 tag price then there was a chance that they could make something on it in the auction.

The final price agreed was £16.75 and the pair snapped it up, and with that their £50 was spent!

A pair of vintage leather Bally riding boots in tip-top condition size 5 caught Jessica’s eye and she introduced the idea to Lynda and Stuart, who were already having some fun with a couple of bowler hats. The hats came with their original hatbox and after some tough negotiation the deal was done at £33 for two items, and with that their £50 was also spent.

Will it be Lynda and Stuart from the Signal Box Group or Tory and Carol from Shaws who make the most profit at auction? The winners, though, will be the Signal Box Rebuild and Maxey Charity Club, which started as a swear bottle on the bar in The Bluebell and has gone on to raise thousands of pounds for a huge range of charity needs that are within a ten-mile radius of Maxey.

RAY PAWLETT

Watching me watching you!

As a practitioner of Shiatsu and other holistic methods, I need tools to quickly work out what I can do to help a person. The range of diagnostic tools that I use is very wide and I always prioritise a person’s energy as I perceive it over more theoretical or verbal diagnostic methods.

When we seek a holistic diagnosis we cannot just look at one thing and expect it to tell us the full story about that person. Instead, we are more like detectives, looking for clues and piecing them together to create a picture of the person who has come for help and deciding what we can do to help them.

A common set of tools for this is to practise facial and body diagnosis. We all do this, consciously or unconsciously. You can buy many books on the subject and go on expensive courses. However, I find that it is far more effective to follow your own instinct.

features do you notice the most? Here’s what I see in the context of the person:A large forehead - usually the sign of intelligence Small ear lobes - a lack of harmonious or broad thinking Frequently leaning into the right side of his body - not a particularly receptive person, who is likely to use anger as a way of getting what they want.

When I was training, I would and still do pick the name of a famous person and call up some photos of them on the internet. Then I would just take a look at the photos and see what they were telling me.

Bunched up shoulders - this particular configuration makes me wonder if he was bullied at a young age and wants to pay the world back by being a bigger bully

After a few attempts, it becomes relatively easy and you learn how to read a person’s personality through their body.

Piercing eyes - can see where others may struggle.

There is also a cruelty to his eyes. I would not like to try and negotiate with him!

Let’s try on someone famous (infamous is more fun!) The Russian President, Vladimir Putin, has some strong body language. Take a look. What

Sanpaku - this is a Japanese word that describes the whites of your eyes. If you can see the pupil point upwards then this is called yin sanpaku and

traditionally indicates that a person is becoming physically and mentally weaker. If it becomes extreme, and you start to see more of the white it can mean that the person’s spirit is looking towards heaven and does not have long to walk this Earth.

Obviously, to look into someone’s eyes and suddenly deduce that they are going to die is not an intelligent use of this traditional knowledge.

To gain knowledge in this way we must be open minded and look for underlying patterns to decode a person’s body/mind. Sometimes though...

Also if you have small earlobes, this does not mean that you are not capable of harmony. It is just one indicator in a pattern that we can build up with the person at whom we are looking. You may have small earlobes but another factor balances this and you have perfect harmonious thought.

Five great aspects of

STAMFORD

Burghley House Built by William Cecil, Lord High Treasurer of Queen Elizabeth I between 1555 and 1587, Burghley is one of the grandest surviving houses of the time. The magnificent exterior (pictured) retains its Elizabethan appearance. It is now the home of Miranda Rock who is a director of the Burghley House Preservation Trust and a direct descendant of Cecil.

Brownes Hospital Founded in 1475 by a wool merchant of the town of the same name, this was established as a home and a house of prayer for ten poor men and two poor women, with a warden and a confrater. In 1870 separate cottages were built around the cloister and the central clock was moved to the elegant tower (pictured). The building famously featured in the film adaptation of George Eliot’s novel, Middlemarch, as Middlemarch Hospital.

Barn Hill One of the best-loved views in Stamford, Barn Hill, with its picturesque cobbles. The street appears to have had relatively distinguished occupants since the later Middle Ages.

Number 9 was occupied in the 17th century by Richard Wolph, a wealthy grocer who is said to have befriended Charles I; it later passed to William Stukeley, the antiquary. The high social status of Barn Hill, which was longstanding, is revealed by the quality of the houses, especially Barn Hill House.

Stamford Arts Centre The Stamford Assembly Rooms were built on St George’s Square in 1727.

Public assemblies became popular across the UK with dance the most important feature. Now the ballroom is the earliest surviving example in Britain. In 1768 the theatre opened but closed in 1871.The buildings fell into decline until 1966 when Mrs Gladys Teesdale suggested that local societies interested in the arts should meet together. In 1972 the buildings were transformed and opened as the new Arts Centre. The theatre reopened in 1978.In 1990, due to a need for extra funding, management of Stamford Arts Centre was taken over by SKDC which organises the staff and resources.

Referred to as ‘A very ancient hostelry, once belonging to the Abbots of Croyland’ historians conclude that The George was possibly standing in 947AD, and was included with much of Stamford Baron in a gift made by Turkotul, chancellor to King Edred, to the Abbey of Croyland.

During the 17th and 18th centuries the roads of England became busier than they had ever been before and The George, a hostelry of great renown, was frequented by royalty and nobility. In the heyday of the coaching age the time allowed for the mail coach from London to Stamford was 9 hours and 20 minutes, including changes. Visitors to the hotel will see on their left as they enter a door marked ‘London’ and on their right a doorway marked ‘York’. These two old panelled rooms were the waiting rooms for passengers assembling for their coaches which changed horses in the hotel yard.

NATURE

A Fool in Fall

If there is one season I look forward to the most, it is autumn. I love hearing from other birders, about birds piling in on a north-easterly blow. I love the sound of the ‘twseep’ of a Redwing as it arrives in darkness from Scandinavia and flies over my garden. I love the first honk from the first Whooper Swan coming into land on the local pits. But above all I love escaping to the remote islands of the Shetland Isles, in the far north-east of the British Isles for two weeks. It has become a tradition: the highlight of my birding year and makes the whole autumn for me.

With the summer road trip, my wings have been truly clipped this autumn (before you ask, nothing to do with being married…. OK, maybe mostly to do with being married). And it hasn’t been without pain. I feel I can confess to you dear reader, I have missed my trip to my favourite place this autumn.

Bittern

Over the years, during these two weeks, I have seen rare tiny passerines from North America, hanging upside-down in sycamores after a non-stop transatlantic flight; I have seen Humpbacks and Orcas, Minkes and hundreds of Dolphins; Thrushes that belong on the forest floors of Asia; Warblers from central Europe; dozens of Otters and the smallest European species of birds land on the cliffs and flit among our shoelaces, having just crossed the North Sea, weighing no more than a 20 pence piece! What a place!

It’s true to say that for the last six years I have thought of Shetland as the mecca for witnessing autumn migrations of birds. And indeed, it’s been a great place for me to find and see new birds that I have never seen in Britain and sometimes even on planet Earth! For

Orca 46

Sure, to begin with, the two weeks I would have been there, there were a couple of birds I have never seen before but nothing too rare and I’m sure I will see Ortolan Bunting and Sibe Stonechat eventually. I immersed myself at Deeping Lakes, enjoying nearly daily Otter sightings (take that Shetland – didn’t see one in August!). I was happy enough seeing the first Redwing fly over, having just come in from Scandinavia. the most part, whilst on Shetland, I haven’t even cared about what’s being found at the opposite end of the country on the Isles of Scilly or even closer to home, the Norfolk coast. And for the most part, it’s because Shetland has been the best place to be.

This year, however dear reader, has been a little different. I bravely took my wife, my darling Amy, just months into our marriage, on ‘Honeymoon Part II’, on a tour of Scotland in August. This took in ten days on my beloved Shetland. If you have seen the TV series based on the novels by Ann Cleeves, then you may have noticed it’s a pretty place but with lots of murder and crime! I’m happy to report the crime rate is among the lowest in the country (no need to lock your car or house door!) and the scenery is even more stunning that the goggle box can ever show.

So why brave? Well,10 days on a remote island, which takes 14 hours by boat to get to, where life truly slows down and the weather changes like… well, the weather, could be seen as a tall ask for some! But I’m happy to report, our marriage survived this test, even at this tender age and Amy absolutely loves Shetland! We enjoyed heaps of Minke Whales (Amy’s first whales), the Northern Lights from our balcony, my first Basking Shark, beautiful white beaches and turquoise seas and the stunning simplicity of life 60 degrees north.

But then a Pechora Pipit was found on Shetland; a true Shetland speciality. Most British records are from Shetland and this bird has come all the way from the Pechora River in north-west Russia and a bird I haven’t seen yet.

But back at Deeping Lakes, I was enjoying Bittern sightings, a bird I haven’t seen many times on the pits and best of all I watched it fish, a behaviour I had never seen before. Their unusual way of fishing, where they lay their bill flat to the water and look down their bill with their beady eyes for prey, is something special to watch.

Next Shetland hit back with not one, but two Yellowrumped Warblers, all the way from America. Before you ask, of course I haven’t seen one! This particular one really had a sting in the tail but I returned to Deeping Lakes regardless and as the days rolled on, I learnt more and more about the Otters. Had some incredibly special encounters, where they investigated me, sniffing and snorting, down to a few metres. What joy! I soon forgot these ‘Butter Bums’, as the Yanks call them… and besides the weather looked like it was too rough up there.

But wait, Shetland went for the jugular. On the cusp of when our stay in Shetland would usually end, a first for Britain appeared!

NATURE

Words and Pictures by William Bowell A Least Bittern, again all the way from North America, had been found, probably on the afternoon before we would have left. This diminutive New World heron was found late in the day and was soon taken into care, weighing just 50 grams (average is nearly 90 grams) and died in the night, so I would have had to be nearby to see it (and Shetland is surprisingly big!). Would I have seen it?

We will never know. But what I do know, is I went to Deeping Lakes the next morning and enjoyed walking by Northern Lights the river, having tiny passerines move among the bushes and treetops, waiting what reader; I rather enjoyed watching the flocks of for something rare to pop up. The expectation was common birds, some having flown across the North high. And nothing rare appeared. But you know Sea, just a few miles from my house.

So perhaps Shetland isn’t the only mecca for witnessing great autumn wildlife and perhaps the expectation should have more to do with personal geography? Sure, I missed out on five new birds this autumn in Shetland but perhaps I’d rather be in Deeping?

Will works at Grasmere Farm in Deeping St James (with a butcher’s and deli in Market Gate, Market Deeping) but in his spare time enjoys wildlife watching locally and across the country. He is also a keen photographer.

Many of his images can be found at http:// justwildimages.blogspot.co.uk/ and photo cards can be found for sale at Market Gate Deli in Market Deeping.
