Hello Swanage! What fantastic weather we have had. It is so good to be able to go out and about for walks easily. How many of you have had early barbecues also? That is a great excuse to get together with family and friends and chill out a bit. Love it! The only problem is the rain, we do need it, so do be a little bit more careful with the use of water. This month as always there are lots of trades people and services to help you around the house, in the garden and for you personally. We have many different categories from taxi rides to bathrooms, from windows to prom dresses, from blinds to gravel and many, many more. When you give any of the advertisers a call do mention The Swanage Oracle. Steve, Martin and myself as well as all of the advertisers thank you for your continued support. Happy Easter everyone! Hayden, our son did a wonderful power point presentation on the computer this week, all done by himself of The Resurrection. The power point and the story is something they have all been doing at school, and it was very touching. He is only 8 and I thought of what I could do at his age...it certainly wasn’t as much as that. The children learn so much these days don’t they. Leave us standing! I hope you manage to get a break over the Easter Holidays and meet up with the family for a meal or a day out. Failing that give one of our advertisers a call and get some jobs done in the house! Stephen and I wish you All the Very Best,

Talking about wildlife with
Heard the cuckoo yet? The sound of the cuckoo’s song is a traditional sign of spring, announcing the arrival of warmer weather and longer days. The cuckoo has a firm place in British folklore, and is a cherished summer visitor from sub-Saharan Africa, arriving in Britain in late April or early May. It can be seen throughout the country in open woodland areas, and is most abundant in the south. The cuckoo’s summer stay with us is rather brief, though, as the adults head back south in July and August, followed by the juveniles about a month later. The cuckoo sound of the male’s song is instantly recognisable, but in flight, this medium sized, blue and grey bird can be mistaken for kestrel and sparrowhawk. Male and female are rather similar in appearance and the juveniles are brown. Apart from its song, the cuckoo is probably best known for being a brood parasite, as the female lays a single egg to be incubated in the nest of its chosen host species; reed warbler, dunnock or meadow pipit. The youngster, not to be outdone by its mother in the art of deception, ejects its ‘siblings’ as soon as it has hatched, thus securing the foster parents’ full attention at feeding times. The
SO April 2012 page 6
cuckoos feed mostly on insects; caterpillars, beetles and ants. Bright coloured, hairy caterpillars are on the top of their list, as their digestive system is well adapted to tolerate them. The cuckoo is currently a red list species of conservation concern, its numbers having been in steep decline for over two decades. The reasons for the decline are currently being investigated, but there are believed to be multiple factors, such as a reduction in prey species, especially caterpillars, changes in the cuckoos’ habitats here and in Africa, and even climate change.

Seat to be inaugurated to mark Diamond Jubilee On Thursday June 7th 2012 there will be a special ceremony at the Purbeck House Hotel where a seat will be unveiled to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. Proudly presented by the Swanage & District Chamber of Trade & Commerce, this stone seat from the local Lovell Purbeck stonemasons will bear a plaque engraved by the president of the Bournemouth Chamber of Trade & Commerce, Nigel Hedges of Bourne Engraving. To add to the occasion there will also be a grand raffle held outside the Budgens store on Station Road between 9am and 1pm where all the proceeds will go to ‘Heroes Haven — Heroes Welcome’.
The seat inauguration ceremony will take place at 3pm in the company of local and county dignitaries. President of the Swanage Chamber, Brian Barker, gratefully thanks and acknowledges all members of the Chamber and friends for their most generous gifts and donations for the raffle.
Recipe: Rhubarb Crumble Puffs 5 Rhubarb sticks, cut into 3cm pieces 1 Tsp ground cinnamon 3 Tbsp plain flour, plus extra for dusting 5 Tbsp soft brown sugar 1/2 x 500g block puff pastry 3 Tbsp unsalted butter 50g Rolled oats 1. Pre-heat the oven to gas 6/200c/180c. 2. Line a baking sheet with baking paper. 3. Roll out the pastry on a floured surface to about 20x30cm, then cut into quarters and place on the sheet. 4. Rub together the remaining flour and butter until it resembles fine breadcrumbs then add the sugar and oats to make a rough crumble mixture. 5. Divide the rhubarb between the pastry quarters, leaving a 1cm rim. 6. Sprinkle the oat mixture over, then fold and pinch each corner to keep the filling in. Bake for 20-25 mins and serve warm.

The Purbeck Association of The National Trust As part of our activities, alongside our social events and talks, we arrange a series of coach trips (mainly in the summer) to places of interest. It’s always difficult to draw up a programme that gives something for everyone. We try to have a mix of National Trust properties (which of course have free entry for our members) and ones that are privately owned. We also try to have some places that are close by, with others that are a long journey. Sometimes it surprises us that people are keen to visit nearby places, but it’s a fact that we sometimes neglect the things on our own doorstep. In June this year we’ll be visiting Abbotsbury Swannery and the Subtropical Gardens (pictured). We’ve obviously chosen well, as the garden has just been named by the Historic Houses Association as their Garden Of The Year. Further afield we’ll be going to A La Ronde (a unique 16-sided house) and Knightshayes Court in Devon, and having a private tour of Cothay Manor in Somerset. Why not get more out of your National Trust membership (or your status as a Trust Volunteer) by joining us? Our annual membership is great value at only £5, or £7.50 for a couple. If you’d like to, call Membership Secretary Jay Burke on 423775 or visit our website www.purbecknt.org.uk, where you can see our whole programme of activities.
Purbeck Chess Club Purbeck Chess Club meets at Mortons House Hotel, Corfe Castle, between September to April each year, commencing at 7 pm. The club caters for players of all abilities, including beginners. Contact Secretary Brian Beard on 01929 425988 anytime.
