Talbot Village Trust Chair steps down after 16 years, brand-new job role opens for Head of Philanthropy Grant-giving charity Talbot Village Trust has announced the Chairman, Sir Christopher Lees, will be stepping down after 16 years of service. Existing Trustee, Nick Ashley-Cooper 12th Earl of Shaftesbury, will be taking Sir Christopher’s place as Chair on an interim basis for the Trust and Sir Christopher will remain on the board of Trustees. Nick, who has sat on Talbot Village Trust’s board of Trustees for 8 years, will hope to build on the great work the Trust has been able to do, supporting local charities within the area and making a positive difference to the lives of people living within South-East Dorset. The Trust hopes to take a more proactive approach with its grant giving and is currently looking for a new Head of Philanthropy. Sir Christopher Lees said: “I could not be prouder of the work we have carried out over my time as Chair of Talbot Village Trust, and I step down knowing that we have changed the lives of countless individuals. The Trust and its legacy is in the safest hands possible with Nick and I look forward to continuing to support him and the Trust through my role as Trustee.”

Part of the Trust’s future plans include focusing on three vital areas across the county – education, mental health and climate change. The other long-standing aspects of the charity, including its biannual rounds of funding will continue as normal. The Trust’s new Head of Philanthropy role will be responsible for seeking out new partnerships, connecting with communities to find out what is really needed and looking at long term strategic funding rather than short term grants, so that the Trust’s funding can have the greatest possible impact for the local area. Nick Ashley-Cooper added: “It’s going to be a wonderful new challenge with huge boots to fill, succeeding the incredible work that Sir Christopher has done for Talbot Village Trust over the past 16 years. I’m excited to be a part of the new changes that we hope will make a significant difference to the lives of people living within South-East Dorset.”

Nick Ashley-Cooper Talbot Village Trust meets biannually and is accepting applications for funding from both previous and new applicants in the area before the Trustees’ next meeting in spring 2022.

QUIRKY FACTS by Mica Bale

Have you seen the Grey Mare and Her Colts? Found near Abbotsbury, this impressive Neolithic structure is actually a tomb - a chambered long barrow in nature which was excavated millenia after it was first laid around 3400-2400 BC to find some human bones as well as some fragments of pottery. Although there are roughly ten such structures along the South Dorset Ridgeway, the history of the Grey Mare and Her Colts is plain to see and is a fantastic landmark from the county’s ancient history.

Parents, grandparents and guardians we salute you! Congratulations on reaching September, having entertained the kids and creating new memories over the summer and accurately appraising school uniform sizes. Now it's September, the eve of autumn, so why not take a well earned coffee break, pick up the magazine and enjoy a delve into the county’s heritage with another five quirky facts? Did you know that at one time Horton Tower, built in 1750 by Lord of Horton manor, Humphrey Sturt, was considered to be the tallest folly in the United Kingdom? Standing at more than forty metres tall, there are various possible reasons why the folly was built however popular belief is that Sturt, a local landowner who sat in the House of Commons, had it PHOTO: ROGER VAUGHAN built when he became too old to ride in the hunt as so could watch the event from the building’s fifth floor.

Were you aware that Henry Rawlinson, the 1st Baron Rawlinson who was renowned for being one the leaders of the tragic Battle of the Somme and whose military career has since been condemned by history, was born in Trent at the Manor? Away from the battlefield where he served as a general, Rawlinson was also an avid watercolour artist who once travelled to France to paint with Winston Churchill. Churchill himself was in awe of his talent and commented that, “The General paints in water colours and does it very well”! 8

In 1803, Easton, on the Isle of Portland witnessed shocking events when the village was attacked by British Navy sailors attempting to take men from the settlement for recruitment. The marines landed on the first of April 1803 and press ganged some men however when they came the second day, the villagers were wise of their plans and would not let the men be taken. Tragically, the captain fired his guns, his marines following suit resulting in the death of three local men and the later death of a woman and also caused several injuries. Although tried for murder, the captain and his men were aquitted and yet the villagers actions prevented the men from being taken from Easton.

Dorset is proud to boast many organic farmers however, did you know that one of the oldest organic farms in the county dates back more than 60 years? Tamarisk Farm, based in West Bexington, was founded by Arthur and Josephine Pearse whose daughter Ellen now runs the farm. Interestingly the farm was largely organic before such titles and grading even existed. Amazingly, the descendants of the shire horses who worked on the farm are now used by the current owners to ride to survey the farm’s 600 acres! ENJOY THIS FEATURE IN EVERY ISSUE!

The name’s Bond...but not for much longer As he bids farewell to every actor’s dream role, we look at the legacy Daniel Craig’s James Bond has left behind. To equate his Bond experiment to the process of the average gymgoer, Daniel Craig is showered, moisturised, halfway towards being dressed and grateful for the occasional glimpse in the changing room mirror… one which flashes back reflections that his 007 persona might casually approve of with a muttered, “good job”. Speculation that the actor was saying his farewell to James Bond has been circling for some years, but now, unequivocally, he is done, as the rather clumsily named No Time To Die hits cinemas. As it does, the 53-year-old emerges with a few things – a life-defining imprint on the CV, a multimillion-pound war

12

chest, and the knowledge that he has influenced a generation of cinemagoers in refining the definition of the modern-day hero. “I’ve always thought the image of a good actor is someone who leaves the big gestures and sweeping statements for when the cameras are rolling,” he begins. “That should really be the beginning and the end of what we expect of our actors. “I don’t want to be the type who puts himself on a pedestal away from that. What right do I have to comment at length on politics or society or the environment? And why should anyone take any notice of me anyway? I’m an actor!” Back on screen, it has been interesting to see how far removed the modern version of Bond is compared to his immediate predecessors Brosnan and Dalton. And while Connery and Moore never strayed into dadbod mode, they represented an era where Bond smoked, drank and

copulated his way through problems. At the heart of what defines Bond is, according to Daniel Craig, a good yarn, purely and simply. “Just stick to the old adage that a good story goes a long way…. and blow stuff up every few minutes,” he laughs heartily. “That’s how it’s done.” Yet what makes the man himself is something rather more complex. “If you want it too little – a great body, a great film role, a beautiful girl – you won’t get it. The same thing will happen if you want something too much - you’ll go too far the other way, burn out, overdo it, get injured. The secret is ensuring you do enough without going overboard, and that takes a little while to work out.” The husband of actress Rachel Weisz has certainly perfected the art of keeping it all in check. “Bond has always managed to combine brute warfare with effervescent charm. I only wish I could be more like him in real life!”

Talking about Wildlife...

The dragon of the skies… No summer is complete without experiencing the sights and sounds of a dragonfly as it hunts over a nearby pond. Agile and colourful, dragonflies are a joy to watch with their aerial manoeuvres rivalling the fastest military aircraft as they duck and turn in pursuit of prey, or narrowly avoid the clutches of hungry hobbies. These adaptable insects lord over wetlands, moorland and even woodland glades, feeding on flies, midges and even each other. If you thought butterflies were the only insects worth a second glance, these multi-coloured, iridescent predators demand appreciation too. In addition to occasional visitors from continental Europe, there are 17 species of damselfly and 23 species of dragonfly resident in the UK. They are found in almost every habitat, bringing a splash of colour to the landscape just as the wildflowers and butterflies are winding down – so now is the perfect time to spot them! This year in Dorset we’ve been lucky enough to witness the arrival of the Southern Migrant Hawker dragonfly, which is usually found in warmer climes. Spotted in Lytchett Heath in east Dorset, this is a first recording for the county, most likely due to the prolonged period of warm weather this summer. The overall appearance of the male Southern migrant hawker is much bluer Southern migrant hawker dragonfly

than the more common migrant hawker, and is often called the blue-eye hawker, on account of its blue eyes. The migrant hawker dragonfly is one of the most exciting dragonflies to spot, and you can often find them hunting along sheltered hedgerows in August and September. Another impressive dragonfly you may see this year is the emperor dragonfly, which is a characteristic dragonfly of new ponds, where for the first few years, their larvae may be extremely common. The males are pale blue, with an applegreen throat and a black stripe running the length of the body. Dragonflies are most active in warm and sunny conditions and are most commonly found near water, but several species also travel to feed in gardens, fields and woodland edges.

Thousands Enjoy Shake & Stir Festival’s Triumphant Return Shake & Stir Vintage Festival returned to Southbourne last weekend, with thousands of visitors flocking to attend, including the Mayor of Bournemouth who opened the event. As always, the festival celebrated all things vintage, with fashion workshops, local traders, and live music performances. After its three-year absence, the festival has been welcomed back with enthusiasm. This weekend saw Shake & Stir return to delight visitors for the seventh time, drawing crowds of almost 20,000 people over the two days. Vintage lovers, classic car enthusiasts, Southbourne locals, and holiday makers gathered to enjoy the live music, car displays and vintage fashion. This year, for the very first time, the live music included the sound of the 70s, with local band The 79 bringing back Blondie and other hits from the decade. There was also music from earlier decades, with performances from The Fifinellas and Retro Rita, as well as Jitterbug dance classes, keeping the vintage feel the festival is famous for. Fan favourite DJ Dave and the festival’s headliners, Earl Jackson & Stompin’ Dave, also delighted the crowd, with Earl Jackson and Stompin’ Dave even stepping in with a truly memorable, improvised second set at the last minute.

after the year we’ve had. Everyone who came respected the covid measures we had in place but didn’t let anything stop them having a good time!” This year, the festival also raised money for local charity MYTIME Young Carers, who support children and young people caring for a family member, through an art trail and auction. Local artists, Dhanraz Ramdharry and Lucan Art, created pieces specifically for the occasion, which formed a trail throughout the festival site and local high street. The fundraising idea was met with such enthusiasm that it will be developed into another event in the future to continue raising valuable funds for MYTIME. Mandy Polkey continued: “We faced a lot of challenges trying to organise the festival this year and I’m delighted we managed to overcome all the obstacles and throw an absolutely wonderful party. It has only been possible thanks to the hard work of all our team members, volunteers and sponsors, so a huge thank you to everyone involved. Bring on Shake & Stir 2022!” To find out more information about Shake & Stir, visit the website: https://www.shakenstirfest.com/

Mandy Polkey, Managing Director of Stir Events who organised the event, commented: “The weekend has been better than we could have hoped for – it’s been fantastic! People were clearly ready for a party and a celebration, coming in their thousands in the wind and rain, so we’re really pleased to have been able to deliver that for them. Seeing live music again was great and the whole crowd started dancing, which was wonderful to see

Snooker Display at the Bournemouth and District Constitutional Club Four top young snooker players from Hampshire and Dorset were representing Cuestars in an exhibition match played at the Bournemouth and District Constitutional Club on Richmond Hill on 6th August 2021, in appreciation for a £1,000 donation presented to Cuestars by the Club as their contribution towards all the good work being undertaken by John Hunter, Director of Cuestars and Tim Dunkley, both of them WBPSA Snooker Coaches. Cuestars organises grass-root snooker tournaments across the South of England for up-and-coming Junior snooker players, as well as for amateur players of all ages, and together with their various sponsors they provide the competitions (and prizes) so necessary for amateur players to develop their skills in real-world competitive situations. Cuestars also hosts a Championship Tour where the winner can attend Q-School and play to qualify as a Professional player. Two of Cuestars members have recently managed to gain professional status by qualifying at Q-School – Jamie Wilson (age 17) and Billie Castle (age 27 when he qualified at Q-School), demonstrating the standard of play in Cuestars. And the standard of play was very evident at the exhibition match in the Bournemouth and District Constitutional Club. The players were 17-year-old Jamie Wilson, a professional and the youngest player in England to ever qualify through Q-School, 19-year-old Bradley Cowdrey, the Dorset Open Champion 2020, 19-year-old Connor Benzey, Cues of Tomorrow Summer Cup Champion 2021 and 11-year-old Harry Wyatt, winner of the Cuestars U21 Bronze rankings 2020. During the four-frame round-robin competition, the audience were treated to some exciting snooker and even thought they were witnessing a 147 clearance as Jamie Wilson took 15 reads with 15 black for 120, but then failed to pot the yellow.

18

The overall winner of the event was Jamie Wilson, with Bradley Cowdroy 2nd, Connor Benzey 3rd and 11-year-old Harry Wyatt was 4th but showing great composure in his matches for such a young player. After the matches, the audience were then shown some advanced practice routines and clearances, demonstrating the high levels of skill that is applied by these young players as they strive to hone their game. Herman Desmier, a Committee member at the club said “It was a thoroughly entertaining afternoon and we wish these young stars all the best fortune in their sport”.

Looks to fall for Your guide to the hottest trends from the autumn/ winter 2021 shows. Living colour - Perhaps counter-intuitive from the usual plummy or forest green palette of autumns past, this look is about saturated shades in the hottest pinks, the bluest blues and fever-dream-inducing neon yellows. From Versace to Raf Simons, catwalks were awash with winter brights in the form of mid-length mohair cardigans, power suits and daring mini dresses with matching tights and heels. Pure colour therapy in motion.

news is printed tights are waiting in the wings to become your autumn outfit go-to. Ideal for either adding a little ‘ooh la la’ to a demure office look or for fully embracing your more attention-seeking side; whether sheer, 100denier or even knitted, prints range from

from your very own wardrobe with this apres-ski inspired look. Fair-isle knits will be in abundance along with chunky scarves and wool-lined boots; and paired with big hair and oversized jewellery they create an added hit of glamour.

Wallflowers - For the meeker among us, there is the floral print trend which takes a nod from the kind of delicate bloomy designs we usually associate with springtime.

Why worry about making it to the slopes yourself this winter when you can eat raclette in perfect style at home? Duvet days - Is the thought of heading outside making you tremble with anxiety? Well fear not, for the catwalk has you covered with this ingenious padded trend. Far from the stuffed, nylon atrocities of the nineties, puffer jackets are now a thing of beauty and of course, unparalleled cosiness.

Gorgeously golden with an almost antique and chintzy feel, think dreamy dresses and blouses with puffed-out sleeves and voluminous hemlines. It is also a luxurious look, emulating Liberty prints of yore in brocade fabrics – the epitome of old money with as brand new makeover. Printed tights - While an end to lockdown hibernation may mean we have to ditch those beloved leggings that have been such faithful companions over the last year, the good

the more classic geometric patterns at Prada to full-on tiedie at Maisie Wilen. Snow play - Longing for an alpine adventure? Well this autumn you can create one

Mostly in more muted shades such as caramel, mustard and aubergine in silhouettes that are better described as ‘voluminous’ rather than ‘padded’, it is clear that the puffer coat is here to stay.

After twenty years, during which time the Hayloft has welcomed artists of all backgrounds and means to display their artwork and express their creativity, it is possible that this gem in the heart of Christchurch will be lost. The Landlord is looking to sell the property in the immediate future and has offered first refusal to CADArts but unfortunately this forty-year-old charity, made up of hundreds of local arts groups and individual artists, does not have the funds available and is therefore hoping to raise the money by a grant and Crowd Funding. A page was set up at Kickstarter.com and although we raised a substantial amount it did not meet the target, we had set so we do not receive the pledges it raised. Hopefully, all who have originally pledged will support the new campaign. The page will go online later next week and run to the end of September. The Landlord has given us more time to raise the funds to purchase this property and we are therefore relaunching the campaign with a

26

more achievable figure. We also plan on having some fundraising events – indeed The Little Craft Shack in New Milton have already run an online auction which raised a considerable sum for the project. The Gallery is one of the oldest buildings in Christchurch, originally attached to a farmhouse believed to date back to the pre 1800s. It has become a much-loved arts centre for artists and visitors. To lose it now would be to lose the last individual arts venue in Christchurch and possibly become yet another private dwelling or coffee shop. If we succeed in our goal, we will not only be able to have a centre of operations for CADArts so that we can reboot our offering to the arts scene in Christchurch (and the local Districts), we will also have a shining venue for the next generation of artists to bring soulfulness and creativity to the town. We will strive to show artists young and old, of every background, and those who would not otherwise have the means to hire a gallery space or put on a show.” Additionally, CADArts will plan community events, classes, and workshops in the intimate setting of the Hayloft upstairs which is perfect for bijou crafts.

Each moment is precious

POETRY PAGE It can take but a moment To change your life's path. And once it ticks by, There is no going back.

Live in the moment, Just take it all in. Pay attention to everything, Right there and right then.

In just 60 seconds, You may make a new friend. Find your true love, Or see a life start or end.

Don't let your mind wander To what's coming next. Cherish this moment And give it your best.

You become who you are In those moments you live. And the growth's not in taking But in how much you give.

Don't let tomorrow Make you rush through today, Or too many great moments Will just go to waste.

Life is just moments, So precious and few. Whether valued or squandered, It's all up to you!

And the person you're with, In that moment you share, Give them all of your focus; Be totally there.

Patricia A F leming

Laugh till it hurts, Let the tears drop. Fill up each moment With all that you've got. Don't miss the details; The lesson is there. Don't get complacent; Stay sharp and aware.

Authors for Autumn

Lose yourself this summer within the pages of these thrilling fictional offerings. Never Saw Me Coming by Vera Kurian Thriller lovers will enjoy getting stuck into Vera Kurian’s fresh take on the psychopath trope whose main protagonist is Chloe, a ‘First-year student, ordinary, legging-wearing, girl next door...and highly intelligent diagnosed psychopath.’ Never Saw Me Coming is a sharp, electrifying and hugely entertaining thriller with an antiheroine who will work her manipulative magic on you. Published by Harvill Secker on September 9 Apples Never Fall by Liane Moriarty Fans of the Australian author will revel in the twisty, thrilling joys in this highly anticipated release, which doesn’t disappoint. Joy Delaney and husband Stan have done well. Four wonderful

grown-up children; a family business to envy; the golden years of retirement ahead of them. So when Joy Delaney vanishes – no note, no calls, her bike missing – it’s natural that tongues will wag… but for the Delaney children there is a much more terrifying question: did they ever know their parents at all? Published by Michael Joseph on September 14 The Magician by Colm Tóibín From one of our greatest living writers comes a sweeping novel of unrequited love, exile, war and family. The Magician tells the story of Thomas Mann, whose life was filled with great acclaim and contradiction. Found on the wrong side of history in the First World War, he would have six children and keep his homosexuality hidden; a man forever connected to his family and yet bore witness to the ravages of suicide, eventually winning the Nobel Prize. Through one life, Colm Tóibín tells the breath-taking story of the twentieth century. Published by Viking on September 23 The Hill We Climb and Other Poems by Amanda Gorman Anyone who watched the inauguration of the 46th

34

President of The United States, Joe Biden, will remember the stirring and highly emotive reading by Amanda Gorman of her poem The Hill We Climb. Now presenting her debut collection of poetry under the same name, Gorman further proves her extraordinary talent and potential as one of literature’s brightest rising stars. Published by Chatto & Windus on September 21 Beautiful Country - A Memoir of An Undocumented Childhood by Qian Julie Wang Qian is just seven when she moves to America, the ‘Beautiful Country’, where she and her parents find that the roads of New York City are not paved with gold, but crushing fear and scarcity. This memoir is an unforgettable account of what it means to live under the perpetual threat of deportation and the small joys and sheer determination that kept her family afloat in a new land.

A Design for Life… The Kevin McCloud Column Designer, writer and television presenter, Kevin McCloud leapt into our consciousness with his vastly successful Grand Designs show on Channel 4. This month, the affable architect looks ahead to some design trends that might rise to prominence over the next few years. I get asked a lot about future design trends and initiatives, and the truth is I wouldn’t know what a trend was if it hit me in the face! Over the years I’ve come to regard trends as very lucid, irregular things – they come about quickly, are mixed and remixed, then disappear out of nowhere; and with interior design that can be problematic given the semipermanency of how we furnish our homes. It’s not like saying ‘this pair of trousers are out of fashion this year; I’ll wear a different pair tomorrow’. If you’ve added wood panelling to every wall in your home, it’s going to take a while to fix. What I will say is what happens at the beginning of every century in design and

36

architecture is that people stop and look back at the last century and say, ‘oh my God, we didn’t get any of that, quick, let’s have some’, and you get this rush of building and design and furniture which is kind of retro – we’ve seen it over the past decade or so with a complete craze for anything vintage from 1930-90s. It’s fair to say we’re always looking forward as far as home design goes, both

architecturally and in the patterns and designs within. If I had to put money on a style or theme over the next couple of decades, it would be eco-based. We’re seeing a real retune to very natural, sustainable materials - basic stuff. Yet also, thanks to changes in technology and the way that

we design, often using iPhones, we can survey and model things really cheaply now. So that means we are going to see all manner of goods – from home products right through to personal stuff like shoes – made not in some factory in Germany, China or Portugal, but in a shop round the corner from where you live using really sophisticated 3D printing techniques. Certainly, a look into the future is a view back towards bespoking our homes in our own design. The era of the IKEA mass-market products has helped us a lot, but technology is now freeing us to style our homes in much more personal ways. It will mean we can turn back into being a nation who make things for ourselves, in a bespoke way, which I think is a very exciting future.

The Adventures of Daichi

The Modern Magazines Camper Van Daichi, our Japanese Campervan, is always looking for new, British experiences, so taking us to see Dad’s Army at the Tivoli Theatre in Wimborne was an extra special treat last month. Were you an avid fan of this Iconic, now internationally renowned British show, in the late 60’s and 70’s? Back in the day this BBC sitcom reached 80 million viewers an episode and with nine series and 80 episodes in total there was a lot to laugh about. I had booked these tickets more than 18 months ago, well before any Lockdown, or hint of international adversity, so you can imagine the crowd, the audience, all seated and eagerly anticipating the

Watch out for Project Play’s next one! 38

Daichi at the Tivoli Theatre in Wimborne cast’s appearance. When the tannoy announcement welcomed us all back to a “live show”, there was the best cheer I have heard for a long time. The audience was ready. Oh what excitement, oh what a buzz. We were there. We were with the characters. We were on that stage. Fortunately, metaphorically speaking, as the actors themselves were well rehearsed, and I am sure, as eagerly anticipating their performances as we were to watch them. We were all back together. I have been in plays (a few years ago now…) at school, and I take my hat off to these ambitious individuals, not professionals, but ‘ordinary local people’ with working lives and families to support, who work tremendously hard to put on a fully professional show. We salute you! “Don’t Panic!” You did a FANTASTIC job. You were all so in character and fully entertained us. Dad’s Army, as many of you will absolutely know, is situated in a fictional South England seaside town of Walmington-on-Sea, where the Home Guard platoon, manned by volunteers, is on watch. Jimmy Perry, one of the co-writers and creators of the

programme based a lot of what he wrote on his own experiences in the Local Defence Volunteers. Did you know that his mother did not like him being out late at night and worried that he would catch a cold, and as such the character of Private Pike is actually based on himself? How funny is that. The play started with “The Deadly Attachment” and the capturing of a German U Boat Captain and his crew. The unfearing, cantankerous Captain Mainwaring, a bank manager by trade, orders soggy fish and chips for them, much to the German captors’ displeasure. It is good-old British humour at its best. They don’t make ‘em like they used to. Followed by a scene from “Mum’s Army” in which Captain Mainwaring has a wandering eye and takes a fancy to Mrs Gray. It is such a shame that many of our great British lines and innuendos are disallowed and frowned on these days. In my opinion we have one of the best senses of humour on the planet and are able to laugh at ourselves in a healthy way. It is very therapeutic. After the much-loved ice-cream interval break, came “The Godiva Affair” where poor Mr Mainwaring watches his wife cavorting ‘naked’ through the streets (actually in a full cream body suit, but fortunately it was only left to the imagination…), as she poses as Lady Godiva in a fund-raising carnival parade. As my Dad would say, “You couldn’t

The cast “on parade”...

Great hilarity in “the office” write it, could you, Deb!” Well, Jimmy Perry and David Croft did - and oh did we all laugh! “The Floral Dance” was the final scene and as the actors gave us their departing lines, and the curtains slowly started dropping we were all smiles and clapped and cheered to our hearts delight. Eleven of us from Modern Magazines had gone to watch this fantastic ‘blast from the past’, literally from ages 17 to 80, and all of us had a fabulous evening. “Project Play” who produces these incredible shows does a great job managing and creating them. Matthew Rock, the Director and Producer, is ever grateful to all the local people who act and spend hours of their time rehearsing, the stagehands who create each scene throughout the show, the dress makers, makeup artists and the whole team which it takes to put on such a production. There are now Project Play opportunities in Burnham on Sea, Yeovil, Frome, Chippenham and Wimborne. You can contact them on 07970 216459 or via their Facebook page, @projplay.

Greenfingers… The Alan Titchmarsh Column He’s a brilliant presenter, accomplished gardener, talented novelist and all-round horticultural inspiration; and this month, as autumn works its way into our outdoor spaces, Alan Titchmarsh explains why variety is the spice of life, even in the garden! With the approach of autumn, at the moment we’re going through that phase where the colours and the shapes are changing. There’s sometimes a sadness when you realise summer is coming to an end, and the leaves certainly seem to be falling earlier this year. My advice though is to embrace the new season and really go after all the potential and possibilities that it holds. After all, we’re actually very lucky in Britain – where plants are concerned we can afford ourselves a different favourite every month; snowdrops in January, daffodils in February, tulips in March and so on. People tend to associate autumn with brown and orange tones, and a rustling underfoot; but it’s about much more than

42

that. One of the most exciting times is when you wake up on a certain day and you can just smell the fact the season has arrived. It’s something in the air - a kind of sourness, a tang that lingers. You can smell things just beginning to decay, but it’s in a way that is replenishing, stimulating and invigorating because it means things are turning and new possibilities are around the corner.

look at the lovely ferns it’s now growing. Next, perhaps start autumn with a tidy-up of borders, or a clean out of the greenhouse, or perhaps even renew a few tools. Also consider getting your compost boosted with all those leaves suddenly in abundance. And finally, invest in some evergreens to offer texture and volume in areas of the garden that might start looking a little sparser. Mostly though, look forward to the coming change and admire nature’s versatility. There is tremendous colour still around us, and where the leaves have descended, look at the skeletal, artistic majesty of trees.

So as autumn arrives I would offer the following bits of advice. Firstly, hold on to the last bits of colour and savour them. Next, enjoy what’s there - perhaps you have some raspberries or any number of the late-flowering varieties such as Cyclamens, Begonias, and of course, Crocuses. Also see how your garden is evolving – sure, that asparagus bed is no longer cropping, but

Remember, anticipation is an underrated commodity. People expect everything instantly now because they are able to go into a supermarket and have what they want when they want it. Yet there is more to it than that where our gardens are concerned - I like looking forward in life and I thrive on anticipation because, of course, when it does happen, it’s that much more enjoyable.

LET HER CARE BE YOUR LEGACY The children’s charity Julia’s House has been by Erica’s side ever since her daughter Isabella was born with a rare condition that causes chronic lung disease. “Just before her birthday last year, Isabella got really poorly and she had to go into hospital,” says Erica. “She came out just before lockdown started, but the illness had a knock-on effect. She’s constantly on oxygen to help her breathe, as well as a ventilator overnight. “I’ve spent three years ignoring the doctors when

they’ve wanted to talk to me about end of life care for Bella,” says Erica. “But this last year, I’ve had to do it. Because if she keeps declining the way that she is, I need to be in the right frame of mind if something happens to her.” Nurses and carers from Julia’s House visit the family in their home to provide medical care and play sessions for Isabella, and essential breaks and support for Erica. “They’ve seen me at my worst, so they know how to talk to me like a human and I can be open with them when I’m struggling.” 1 in 4 of the children Julia’s House care for are supported by Gifts in Wills. A gift of just 1% can make a huge difference. When you use the Free Wills Service, either inperson or online, you could turn a kind thought into a lifeline of vital support for local families like Erica’s.

Material World Your guide to sustainable fabrics. The fabrics you should focus your attention on – for clothing, interiors, or anything else – if you want to remain stylish, whilst keeping planet Earth in mind. Recycled Cotton - The big problem with cotton is the amount of water it uses in the production process – around 20,000 litres for a single t-shirt or pair of jeans. Organic cotton still requires this, but at least doesn’t use pesticides, although only 1 in every 100 t-shirts is currently made this way.

clothing choice for those warmer months of the year. Hemp - A fast-growing plant that’s a world away from the old-fashioned idea of the coffee sack-thickness of material many of us associate it with. Instead, hemp fabrics can be used in any type of clothing, with greater strength, durability and insulation than cotton. In addition, it won’t lose its shape.

Recycled cotton solves the problem, with materials broken down then spun back into a yarn, from which new garments are made. Recycled Nylon - From fishing nets to tights, nylon’s appeal is in its incredible durability, and that makes it a great candidate for recycling. Variations such as Econyl are making great strides… literally. However, question marks still remain over the extent to which recycled nylon will shed contaminating fibres. Linen - A luxury fabric that is made from the fibres of the flax plant. Durable, strong, and unlike cotton, doesn’t require huge quantities of water in its production. It’s absorbency and coolness also makes it a great

52

Bamboo - The world’s fastestgrowing, self-regenerating plant, bamboo is a natural fibre made in China that requires no chemicals or pesticides in its production. It’s also antibacterial, hypoallergenic, and won’t fray or wrinkle. Indeed, League Two side Forest Green Rovers have just produced a shirt made out of bamboo and coffee waste. Eco-spun - A high-quality, dense and durable fibre made from plastic bottles.

One of many polyesters that take in post-industrial and post-consumer waste, this can be used across clothes and furnishings and creates a modern, all-encompassing solution to plastic landfill, and its 700-year decomposition process. Soya - Use of soya in tofu manufacturing may only be recognised in foodstuffs, but fibres are incredibly soft and can mimic the feel of cashmere, making this an interesting choice. The fibres will typically be mixed with organic cotton. Organic Silk - For many, the texture of silk is irresistible, and the organic version of one of the most expensive textiles out there can wrestle matters back into an acceptable eco space. What makes silk organic is that the silkworm isn’t killed. Instead, the tiny silkworms are taken outdoors to a food tree where they spin their cocoons. Silk is extracted by unwinding or spinning the filaments, and the silk moth emerges unharmed.

STAR GAZING WRITTEN BY KATE EARL kateearlastro@gmail.com

Welcome to the September Stargazing Page. With the skies now noticeably darker after the long summer evenings we can look forward to seeing Jupiter and Saturn, a Harvest moon, and a fox loose in an aviary! International Space Station This ISS is visible in the early hours of each morning until the 12th. From the 16th onwards sightings are at much more respectable times ranging from 7pm to 10pm. To establish exact timings please refer to www.heavens-above.com or a similar webpage for up-to-date information, remembering to specify your location. Events The Autumn Equinox is on 22nd September, and marks the first of two dates (the second being the Spring Equinox) when daylight hours equal the number of night-time hours, wherever you are on Earth. The term equinox originates from the Latin meaning ‘equal night’. The Autumn equinox marks the point at which days become shorter than nights. Mercury & Mars Both planets are difficult to locate this month. Venus Venus is also very low in the west and quite hard to spot, vanishing below the horizon by 8.30pm. It is joined by the Moon on the 9th and 10th (see figure), which may help you find it. Jupiter and Saturn Both gas giant planets are visible throughout the night, and although not reaching great heights in the sky they stand out magnificently as they are currently in an area with few bright stars. Jupiter on the left is the much brighter of the two. The moon is close by between 16th – 18th.

Object of the Month

Moon This month’s full moon occurs on 21st September and is traditionally known as the Harvest Moon; the full moon that falls closest to the Autumn Equinox (22nd September). So-named as farmers would use the moonlight to help gather crops through the night.

VENUS

SW 56

View South throughout September at 9.30pm

At this time of year the southern night-sky consists of faint, watery-themed constellations such as Capricornus (the sea goat) and Aquarius (the water-bearer). Fortunately, much higher in the sky lies a lovely, bright asterism (a familiar pattern of stars) that is visible well into the winter despite its name, the Summer Triangle. The three corners are marked by the bright stars Vega, Deneb and Altair. This part of the sky is dominated by avian-themed constellations, and the triangle can be thought of as a type of aviary. Altair is in the constellation Aquila, the Eagle, whilst Deneb is in Cygnus the Swan. Both birds have mythological origins relating to the Greek God, Zeus. The third star, Vega, is in Lyra, the lyre, which is often depicted in ancient texts as being carried by a swooping bird, such as a vulture. Many of the named objects in this part of the sky derive from the Arabic words for parts of a hen, with stars named after the tail, feathers, wings and beak. To complete the setting, the central dim constellation of Vulpecula, the little fox, was originally known as ‘the fox with the goose’; in old star charts the fox was often depicted with a goose in its mouth. We therefore have in this part of the sky the rather unfortunate example of a fox loose in the hen house!

Luscious Lamb Moussaka Introduction

Colder evenings call for warming comfort food such as this satisfying moussaka. Serve with a fresh green salad or even just a crusty baguette to mop up the rich sauce.

Ingredients 500g lamb mince 2 aubergines (sliced crossways) 4 large white potatoes (peeled and sliced) 1 onion (diced) 1 400g tin of chopped tomatoes 2 tbsp tomato purée

and then rinse them thoroughly before patting dry with kitchen towel. Oven bake as instructed. • Dish can be made ahead by covering your layered moussaka with cling film and storing it in the fridge. When ready to bake, simply cook for five minutes longer in the oven.

2 garlic cloves (minced) ½ tsp ground cinnamon 2 tsp ground oregano 150ml beef stock For the béchamel sauce 40g butter 40g flour 500ml milk 80g grated cheddar or parmesan Pinch of salt and pepper

Top Tips • If you are concerned about the aubergine being bitter – the fresher the aubergine the less chance of this there is – simply place your raw slices in a colander with a pinch or two of salt, leave for 10 minutes

60

Method Step One Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Lay your potato slices on one baking tray and your aubergine discs on another with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden. Meanwhile, put the lamb, onion, garlic, oregano, and cinnamon in a large frying pan and cook over a medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon to break up the meat. Once browned, add the chopped tomatoes, beef stock and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook over a high heat for 4-5 minutes until the ragù

Tip

Make this dish vegetarian by substituting the lamb for one 400g tin of cooked puy lentils and using vegetable stock instead of beef.

is reduced to a thick and saucy texture. Step two To make the béchamel sauce, melt the butter in a medium saucepan and stir in the flour. Cook for a few seconds, then gradually stir in the milk. Add half the grated cheese and simmer the sauce gently for 4–5 minutes, stirring regularly. Season with salt and pepper. Step Three Add the potato slices to an oven-proof dish in a single layer. Spoon over a layer of lamb ragú and top this with a layer of aubergine slices. Repeat once more before pouring over the béchamel sauce and topping with the rest of the grated cheese. Bake the moussaka for 35-40 minutes until it is golden and bubbling.
