The Editor’s Small Piece Hello there. Are you OK? Fingers crossed you are and that August has treated you well. If you got away then I hope you had a good time, and even if you didn’t then Bristol is no bad place to be of a summer. Just ask Shaun, who is bringing 59 of his ovine clones to the city next July. “And Then There Were Three” is the title of a fairly excellent Genesis album of the late 70’s, so named after their line up dwindled to three. It is a title that could now apply to Bristol Community Magazines (a.k.a. me) with the acquisition this month of the very splendid Redland, Cotham & Westbury Park Directory. Founder Nick Clark has nurtured his baby magazine for eight years but has decided to move onto pastures new, and has kindly allowed me to take it under my wing. So now there are a trio of community magazines in the stable, providing a coverage of 29,000 monthly copies across the BS9, BS8 and BS6 postal districts. If you think your business could benefit from such a breadth of exposure but don’t want to shell out “lifestyle magazine” rates then why not get in touch? More details can be found on page 95 or just give me a call or email. Loads of content this month, as is usually the case in September, a month which to me always seems like January, offering a fresh start, but with plenty of warm rain. Let’s hope I’m wrong about the rain. Cheers for now, Andy

8 Constituency Matters - Charlotte Leslie MP There is perhaps no greater path to social mobility than having a job. Equally, it is so sad to meet people who are desperate to work but – for whatever reason – struggle to find the right opportunity. We might read the statistics which say unemployment is continuing to drop but that’s little comfort for those still out of work, who may just feel even more isolated than before. That’s why I launched the first North Bristol Jobs Fair in May and why we’re doing it all over again – in Southmead – next month. At our first ever North Bristol Jobs Fair, we were able to bring more than 40 employers together with more than 200 job-seekers. It was a huge success. But this time we want it to be even bigger and even better. Jobseekers said it was great as they were able to spend time chatting about opportunities, meet employers in person and be given guidance depending on their skills. We also ran sessions by Theodora Clarke on CV writing and interview techniques.

unemployment is coming down so all is well. Of course, this is good news and indeed the statistics say that the number of unemployed jobseekers in Bristol North West has fallen by 25% in the past year. But we need to be continually understanding the challenges and making sure we have enough sustainable employment, in other words jobs which offer people long-term security, not just a seasonal boost. We are hoping that "North Bristol Jobs Fair II", our second jobs fair, will build on the previous one and we are trying to line up even more of the city’s leading employers. The jobs fair will be held at the Greenway Centre in Southmead on Monday, September 22 from 10am – 2pm. Entry and the CV/ interview sessions are free and there will be free refreshments (tea and coffee) available. I am looking forward to meeting people and hearing how jobseekers, employers and us politicians can work to keep bringing that jobless figure down.

Employers said it was great for them, as they were able to meet potential recruits face to face, thus overcoming the limitations of a job application on a sheet of A4. It concerns me that there must be many people who possibly struggle to convey their true strengths and personality on a CV and who therefore do not even got through the door for an interview. Finally, it was great for me as I was able to meet both jobseekers and employers and I was able to gain perspective of the current situation in employment from these two crucial viewpoints and the challenges facing both, especially the jobseekers. And of course it is not just about those who are out of work. The jobs fair is an opportunity for people seeking new challenges in a new careers – perhaps related to their existing job or maybe something totally different. As politicians, it is an easy soundbite to say

vary from “quality artist with an eye for detail and history” to “moron with an aerosol”. I’ll leave you to make your own Last month we travelled along the Avon and judgement. Severn Estuary from Sea Mills to Severn Clifton Down to Redland is a short stretch Beach taking in the northern half of this of track set in a cutting between the gardens lovely line. This month we head south into of Georgian terraces and swathed in the the city. ubiquitous buddleia and bramble. Beyond Redland the views become more interesting, and as you cross the junction of Gloucester Road and Cheltenham Road on the viaduct that, at ground level, is known as The Arches, you get terrific views up the busy streets towards north Bristol and south towards the city centre.

Boarding at Sea Mills station (where you can cross, or go under, the track for great views of the widening Avon) try and get a seat on the right (river side) for the outward journey. The train pulls out, immediately crosses under the Portway and then starts a gentle uphill climb as you pass Sneyd Park Nature Reserve and Bishops Knoll Wood (both definitely worth a visit) to your left. As the Portway and river drop away to your right the world will suddenly disappear as the train enters the tunnel which might surprise some readers goes straight under the Downs. The only clue above ground seems to be the rather lovely ventilation tower that sits opposite the junction of Upper Belgrave Road and Pembroke Road near the Zoo. The Clifton Down tunnel opened in 1877, is dead straight (as you can see if you are in the last carriage and look backward as the daylight recedes) and is one mile long, ending as you burst back into the light at Clifton Down station. Here you can start an assessment of “urban painting” as Clifton Down, Redland, Montpelier and Stapleton Road stations all display styles of painting on their walls that

Montpelier station is uninspiring, bedecked by a collage of spray paint, talentless and pointless, - unless you like that kind of thing of course.

A short tunnel under St Andrews Road and then out into daylight again where the views begin to open up towards Ashley Down in the north and St Werburghs and Baptist Mills to the south. As the city

18 Great Railway Journeys of NW Bristol

emerges to your right you pass close to St Werburghs Church on Mina Road, now an excellent indoor climbing centre, before crossing the M32 and bustling Stapleton Road that gives the next station its name. The platform at Stapleton Road is home to a splendid mural depicting local scenes and characters from history, from W G Grace. But not at the moment - the mural has been taken away for refurbishment by the artist and is due to be returned this autumn. The route starts to get pretty industrial now as the train cuts bisects Easton and Moorfields and as you head past your penultimate stop, the drab station at Lawrence Hill. I’d be lying if I said it was the highlight of the journey, but very soon other railway lines start to emerge and, if you like your railway engineering, the excitement ramps up. As the track swings back westwards on the final run into Temple Meads you will pass through a maze of tracks and sidings replete with railway paraphernalia of all sorts - track laying trucks, piles of concrete sleepers, a giant car wash for trains (I guess its technical name is a train wash) and assorted bits of trains.

out is was the Braunton, a West Country class locomotive that returned to active service last year after being taken out of service in 1965. (Note - I don’t own an anorak, I researched this bit, but I must confess it was an impressive sight). And before you know it, some 20 minutes after you left Sea Mills, you are at IKB’s finest station. Unlike Severn Beach, at the other end of the line, there is, of course, plenty to occupy yourself in and around Temple Meads, but there are a couple of things it would be easy, and a shame, to miss. As you get off your train, assuming it has terminated at its usual Platform 1, keep an eye out for the Pixelated Girl, an intriguing little sculpture created by Luke Jerram, the creative brain behind the recent “park and slide” waterslide on Park Street.

As easy to miss is the splendid Hart’s Bakery hidden in one of the Victorian railway arches underneath the concourse out the front of the station. It is well worth delaying your return journey to stop for a coffee or excellent lunch here, or at the equally excellent Yurt Lush tented restaurant out the back of the station.

On my research trip I was lucky enough to see a steam locomotive in full puff. Turns

So there we are - Temple Meads to Severn Beach. 11 stations, 13 miles, 40 minutes and one very different perspective on NW Bristol. Hope you enjoy the journey.

22 Mrs PC - Friendly Computer Training The start of Mary Berry’s Bakeoff on the television has inspired this article. Cooking programmes are so popular on TV, but you may not realise that if you google “recipe” on the Internet you will have literally millions of recipes to choose from. I find that I rely less on my cookery books nowadays and more on the web, as I can refine my search for a specific dish and find exactly what I want very quickly. In fact quicker than when I am looking through my books. It is very interesting to look through and compare different recipes for the same thing. I am the type of cook who doesn’t stick closely to recipes, and likes to be creative. Web recipes are easy to compare quickly. I find that the BBC Good Food recipes are very reliable. All the celebrity chefs such as Jamie Oliver, Nigella and Delia also have recipes online. It makes me wonder why people buy recipe books! Recently I have found that the Guardian newspaper does articles on “How to make the best …”. I used this recently for tiramisu but they also cover lots of other recipes. The articles compare different ingredients that can be used and the researcher does all the hard work in experimentation before coming up with a knock out recipe. They are exactly as described- truly fantastic recipes that really work. If your recipe goes wrong, you can google your problem and find the solution to it. Have you ever found that you don’t have a particular ingredient? You can find out if one ingredient could be swapped for another. You can also download Apps to your smartphone for recipes. I have one called “What’s for dinner?” It gives you inspiration

when you are in a hurry. If you are not an experienced cook you may find that you can learn a lot from videos of chefs cooking your particular recipe. You Tube have lots of great clips, which are entertaining to watch from a variety of places. There are chefs who start their rise to fame on You Tube. One such is Yo Yo Max 12, who has a channel dedicated to experimental baking and has lots of very interesting ideas. There are disadvantages to cooking using a computer however. One of these is that you may risk damaging your computer by having it in the kitchen. You may get flour or liquid on it and make it all dirty. It isn’t a good idea to cover your laptop keyboard in dirt as it will drop through the keys and into the working parts and fan. I use a cover on my Mac keyboard to prevent this. It is probably a good idea copy and paste the recipes you plan to use into a Word document and print them out. You can then compile a folder of your favourite recipes & make your own cook book. If you are following recipes from You Tube, you will need to pause the programme frequently. It may be a good idea to watch the whole thing first so that you have an overview to make it easier for yourself. So if you are itching to be on the Bakeoff, use the power of the Internet to help you! Don’t forget that you can order your ingredients online too.

Bristol Green Doors Householders in Bristol will be opening their doors to the public over the weekend of 13-14th September 2014 at the start of national Community Energy Fortnight, to show how energy smart improvements can help make homes more comfortable, cheaper to run and better for the environment. Earlier this month the government announced it was revamping Green Deal funding for home refurbishments, with cashback now available for some energy saving measures. Twenty homes and properties across the city will be taking part, including family homes that have drastically reduced their energy bills by improving insulation, switching to energy-efficient appliances, and making use of some of the latest renewable energy technologies. One Bristol home taking part has cut electricity bills by 90%. Bristol Green Doors director Dan Weisselberg said: “Bristol householders will be opening their doors

and sharing tips on the changes that can help make our homes fit for the future. More than 100 homes across Bristol have now taken part in Bristol Green Doors, with more and more people looking to make their homes energy smart, reducing bills and making their homes warmer and more comfortable places to be.” Homes taking part will include a house fitted with the latest solar photovoltaic thermal panels, a refurbished student property, a terrace of houses with external wall cladding and a range of period properties – where homeowners will be showing how draughty old buildings can be made easier to heat. Three of the properties opening their doors are part of the nation-wide Super Homes network, which features exemplar older dwellings which have reduced their carbon emissions by at least 60%. The open homes event is joining up with Bristol’s Doors Open Day on 13th September, organised this year by the Architecture Centre – when some of city’s architectural treasures will also be opening their doors to the public.

36 Food Inspiration from Tara’s Table It’s September: the end of the summer but not quite the beginning of autumn … So, we’ve had May, June, July and August but we haven’t had an ‘R’ in the month since April. This means there’s one thing to look forward to now that September has arrived, and it’s not sending the kids back to school, since I don’t have kids! As usual, it’s about food! These tasty little things have to remain absent from menus during the summer months and if anyone requests them, the answer is normally, “Sorry, not until there’s an R in the month”.

Well one par cular form of therapy is called EMDR which stands for Eye Movement Desensi sa on and Reprocessing! A bit of a tongue twister but the therapy essen ally helps people to put old memories to rest and is extremely effec ve in helping people feel different about past experiences. The validity and reliability of EMDR has been established by rigorous research. So, how does the brain store difficult or trauma c memories?....For much of the me, the brain processes informa on quickly and easily but when something trauma c happens, the brain can become overloaded causing the memories to be stored in a different place from normal and in a raw/emo onal form. These raw unprocessed memories can keep repea ng as well as causing symptoms such as nightmares. Some therapists use the analogy of a wardrobe to explain how memories are stored: generally memories might be stored like clothes folded in a neat wardrobe. However, trauma c memories might be stored like a duvet being shoved into a space too small: every me the wardrobe is opened the duvet comes out. Imagine further that the duvet has s nging ne les in it......it will cause s ngs and pain each me the wardrobe is opened. EMDR recreates eye movements similar to those in REM (dream) sleep by ge ng the clients to watch the therapist's finger as it moves back and forth in front of their face while the client focuses on the most distressing image from the trauma and the associated nega ve belief. EMDR helps the person to process these difficult past memories so they lose their distressing intensity and become much more manageable.

Beware a orneys ‐ good inten ons are no excuse We are o en asked by clients who are appointed a orneys, under either a Las ng Power of A orney (LPA) or a pre‐ exis ng Enduring Power of A orney (EPA), what they can and cannot do when it comes to making gi s using the money of the person who appointed them (the donor). Making decisions on gi ing can seem a daun ng and confusing task for a orneys. On one hand the LPA and EPA documents themselves oﬀer li le guidance as to the management of a donor's funds, and yet, on the other hand, a recent string of Court of Protec on decisions have highlighted the fact that ignorance can be no excuse to ge ng it wrong. Bearing gi s The bearing of gi s is a topical although tricky area of mental capacity law. It is not uncommon for an a orney to want to make gi s, on behalf of a donor. Such gi s can vary from small tokens to mark birthdays and annual events, through to large sums of cash. However, it is not enough for an a orney to go ahead and make a gi , of whatever size, on the

basis of 'good inten ons'. Recent case law (in par cular, the Court of Appeal case of Day v Harris) suggests that there are only three ways in which a valid gi can be made using a donor's funds. First, if the a orney has made an applica on to Court and the Court has granted express permission. Secondly, if the LPA or EPA document itself specifically authorises the making of gi s on the donor's behalf. Finally, if the gi falls within one of the categories set out in Sec on 12 of the Mental Capacity Act 2005 (MCA 2005). What does the MCA 2005 say about making gi s? Sec on 12 states that an a orney is authorised to make gi s on 'customary occasions', to persons (including themselves) who are related to or connected with the donor. A 'customary occasion' is defined as including birthdays, marriages or any other occasion in which presents are 'customarily' given within families or among friends or associates. Best interests Even if an a orney can show that the gi was made in accordance with one of the prescribed grounds, they must then be sa sfied that, in making the gi , they are ac ng in the donor's best interests.

41 Best interests is a seemingly 'grey' area, s ll being explored by the courts. Does ac ng in the donor's best interests mean giving eﬀect to the wishes which the donor would otherwise have given eﬀect to themselves, had they had the capacity? What if the donor has never had capacity, can an a orney ever really know or begin to guess what the donor's wishes would have been? Seeking advice This is a complex area and each situa on will be fact specific. Therefore the message to all clients ac ng as a orneys, is to tread carefully when considering making any gi s using the donor's funds. The safest route is always for an a orney to seek legal advice

before making any gi s, even if they consider that they have the donor's consent. For a copy of our Las ng Powers of A orney leaflet or for further informa on, please contact Mary McCrorie on 0117 314 5368 or email Mary at mmccrorie@vwv.co.uk.

STUMP GRINDING, FENCE ERECTION & REPAIRS TURFING & GARDEN CLEARANCE

43 Fantasy Football League Prize Competition I’m typing this on the first day of the new football season so it is time to kick off the new Bristol Community Magazines Fantasy Football League. It is free to enter, fun to play (if you like your footy of course) and you can win a football shirt of your choice if you come out top of the league at the end of the season. The BCM League will run in accordance with the official Barclays Fantasy Premier League competition. Put simply, you become the manager of your own squad of players chosen from the squads of all the real Premier League teams. Assemble your squad within a £100m budget and then each week chose your best team based upon who your team members are playing against in real life. If Daniel Sturridge scores for Liverpool and he is in your team he scores for you too. If you have Joe Hart in goal a clean sheet for Man City means points for you.

Each week your chosen team will play against that of another league manager. Each week you can transfer players in and out of the squad if any become injured, or suspended for biting opponents etc. To play you will need to visit the Fantasy Premier League website at fantasy.premierleague.com and go through the process of choosing your team name, colours ands squad members. (It is free and all pretty straight forward but do get in touch if you have difficulties). Once you have done this choose the “Leagues” tab, “Join a League” and pick “Private League” and then enter the following code - 491510320905 Although the real Premier League will have started by now the BCM Fantasy League won’t start until Gameweek 4 which uses the fixtures of the weekend of 13th/14th September, so you have a little time to register and pick your squad. But only until 11.30 on Saturday 13th Sept miss that date and you will miss out the whole season. It’s just a bit of fun, although can become quite addictive and generates an interest in the weekly Premier League results especially, if like me, your real team resides lower down the league structure (or a lot lower down in a certain local case). And it may even have you wanting Manchester United to win on a Saturday even when you know in your heart you’d hate that to happen. Anyway, have fun and get in touch if you have any problems registering.

Readers of The Bristol Nine may well recall, and many will have par cipated in, the survey of shoppers, residents and businesses in Westbury that was carried out last autumn by the Westbury on Trym Business Associa on ‘Town Team’. We are now in a posi on to publish the Benchmarking Report that WOTBA has prepared; this is based upon survey which consisted of interviews with over 500 Westbury residents and shoppers and over 70 local businesses.

On one level, the Report represents a snapshot taken in Westbury and Stoke Lane of ‘what have we got?’ and ‘who is here?’ and of the views and a tudes people hold towards Westbury. These have then been compared with, or ‘benchmarked’ against, a large number

of other communi es all over the country. The comparisons are very interes ng. On another level, the Report has provided an opportunity to harvest and gather together a large number of ideas and sugges ons people have expressed as to how Westbury might be improved. The range of ideas is quite striking. WOTBA is keen to share this Report with the community as a whole, including the many local interest and social groups, schools, churches and public bodies with whom we share the common aim of wan ng the best for Westbury. Readers of The Bristol Nine may obtain a copy of the Benchmarking Report from the WOTBA website www.wotba.org.uk . It is also available from the Bristol Nine website www.bcmagazines.co.uk WOTBA is holding a Presenta on of the Benchmarking Report at Westbury on Trym Village Hall on Monday 15th September at 7.30pm. All are welcome so do please come along. WOTBA represents local businesses and services and is interested to hear what ini a ves our customers and clients feel we could be taking to make Westbury an even be er place to be. We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible on the 15th.

52 “On 27th September the Eastfield Inn on Henleaze Road is opening its doors to a fabulous family fun day and gift sale. The event is to raise vital funds for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Southmead Hospital and for the Stroke Association. There is going to be something for everyone – from tombolas and glitter tattoos for the kids, to art, artisan foods and gift ideas for the grown ups. The event, called Isla and her Grandpa's Autumn Fayre, has been the inspiration of one Bristol family – my family, and this is my story. You will never know how much a stroke can affect someone until it happens. Over the years my father, Marmaduke Alderson, suffered a series of small strokes, but in 2010 he suffered a severe stroke. He received immediate life saving care at Southmead Hospital, and his life, and ours, had altered, permanently. Dad spent the next ten weeks in Southmead Hospital, learning to walk again and make sense of things. Now, four years on, he is partially sighted and has lost most of his independent mobility. He now receives constant care for all his needs in a local nursing home. Having been a very active and high profile member of the Bristol community this is so sad. He was just 70 and was expecting retirement to be full of pottering in the garden, trips abroad, pursuing old and new interests and spending quality time with family. But this was not to be. Then just two years later, in 2012 my sister Emily McGuinness gave birth to a beautiful little girl, Isla, who was born with unexpected life long complications. Isla spent her first ten weeks in NICU, at Southmead Hospital again, where they undoubtedly saved her life on more than one occasion. Her future is still unknown. She is classed as having an 'undiagnosed genetic disorder'. We do not know if she will walk or talk. She is fed via a tummy PEG attached via a tube to a feeding machine and is currently the size of a nine month old, despite turning two recently. None-the-less, she is a delightful little girl, she smiles a lot and she brings us joy every day. Our event is therefore to raise much needed funds for NICU and for the Stroke Association; two charities very close to our hearts. Not only will there be face painting, children's toys and clothes for sale but also books, paintings, cards, jewellery and loads of great pre-Christmas gift ideas. Just to tempt you even further the prizes you could win in the raffle are amazing!! Weekend breaks, spa days, dinner at various local restaurants, theatre tickets.... the list goes on and on because the generosity of so many Bristol businesses has been incredible. The Eastfield Inn has even given the venue hire free of charge so every penny donated will go to our two charities. My father is a former Lord Mayor of Bristol and we have therefore been very lucky to secure the current Lord Mayor, the Rt Hon Alastair Watson, to open the event at 1.30pm. And there is going to be a fantastic guest appearance from none other than Princess Anna from Disney's Frozen!!! We are hoping that both Isla and my dad will be able to make the event, but we are especially hoping that a great many local families will come along to join in the fun and help us raise as much as we can. You never know – you might win a star prize in the raffle!! Just be sure to be with us by 4pm!!!”

Gardener’s Corner with Cathy Lewis Off with its head! For me, one of the most relaxing and enjoyable jobs in the garden is deadheading, which requires nothing more strenuous than an amble around the garden with a pair of secateurs. Deadheading simply involves snipping off the dead flowers. It keeps the garden looking tidy and encourages plants to put their energy into producing fresh blooms rather than seed heads. It’s not always easy to know which flowers to deadhead. In general, summer bedding plants such as violets, petunias and marigolds respond well – just pinch off the old flowers between finger and thumb. Sweet peas should be cut on a regular basis to keep them flowering. With Pelargoniums, hold the faded flower stalk near the base and pull downwards to snap off the old flower head. Phlox (below) and other perennials are generally snipped at the point where the flower stem joins another side shoot or bud. Tall perennials such as lupins should be cut back just above the leaves, but do it before the flowers disappear as it will already be starting to form seed pods at

the base of the stem.

Roses really benefit from being deadheaded on a regular basis. The best way is to snap off the stem just below the flower – the only exception is for roses with ornamental hips, in which case just leave them to develop and ripen. Other plants best left untouched include those with ornamental seed heads such as Love-in-a-mist (Nigella), or plants such as sunflowers that produce seeds for the birds. Personally I leave Echinacea, Rudbeckia and other interesting late summer flowers and grasses untouched to provide winter interest.

I also let foxgloves seed themselves around the garden. After all, you can never have too many foxgloves! Echinacea’s cone-shaped seed heads provide winter interest Cathy Lewis Dip. PSGD Cathy Lewis Gardens & Design Professional garden design,

60 Louise’s Tips for an easier life Hopefully you are reading this feeling recharged from the amazingly sunny summer we have (mainly) had in Bristol. Following a break, it’s sometimes hard to get back in the groove and prepare for back to school or work. However, I believe the beginning of the academic year is a good starting point for the next stage of the year – a time to harness your energy. It always returns my focus to what I’m looking to achieve by the end of the calendar year. Why not take it as an opportunity to check in with the resolutions or goals you set back in January? I called my friend the other week to review our lists as it’s so much easier talking it through with someone else. We felt we were pretty much on track, and although there are some things we haven’t done and are still keen to do (for example book on another course, arrange a visit to a friend on the other side of the country) we felt all was in hand. We will review again in December and set our goals for 2015.

Another action to consider this month is to tackle a tricky situation that maybe you’ve been avoiding over the summer, or just can’t get to the heart of. Take some time to ask yourself why it is bothering you, keep asking why and you’ll get to the root cause. Don’t forget there are people out there who can help sort things out – just give me a call and if I can’t help, I know a man or woman who can! Louise England is a Lifestyle and Home Assistant and her service aims to free-up your free time. Her passion is to make a positive difference to people’s lives by helping them sort things out and complete jobs in their homes quickly and efficiently.

63 Friends of Blaise - Patrick Clarke Last month after climbing the staircase provided by the Friends we were enjoying the extensive views of five counties which can be seen on a clear day from the roof of the Castle. Inside the building we studied the Friends information display, showing its’ the history, through periods of opulence, to decay, and back again. Unfortunately the building has to remain locked for the majority of time to protect it from unwanted visitors and potential vandalism, but the Friends open it on the third Sunday of each month between April and October, and also on Bank Holidays during this period. It is becoming more difficult to get volunteers for the job, so if you have some free time on any of these Sundays we shall be pleased to hear from you We have now been doing this for 32 years and are really looking for more volunteers. It is a worthwhile afternoon and in good weather can attract over 300 visitors.

A little further down this path is the South Bastion, another brilliant view point. Here again we provided the railings and a bench from where it is possible to sit and enjoy the view. Along the Hazel Brook there is a serious problem with infestation of Himalayan Balsam. This could be much worse had the Friends not organised working parties to pull up the plants at the time that they are producing seed, which can be fired several yards by the plant itself when they are ripe enough. Work in the woods is by its very nature subject to the weather and erosion of paths by constant use. Over the years we have restored some of these paths and installed steps to make them easier to use. Some of these now need replacement and are potential jobs for the future.

I know that I have missed out some of the minor works, but I hope that the above will provide sufficient evidence to show the need for Friends of Blaise and for them to continue to help ensure that this jewel in the Walk from the Castle over to Lover’s Leap Crown of Bristol Estates remains an where we financed the railings which replaced some rather dangerous oak palings. attractive and safe place for visitors to enjoy. This is a very important and popular view Cuts in Council spending can only increase point and is now quite safe above a drop of the need for a Friends Group to lobby the 240 feet into the Tarn Lake below.

Local Man’s World War One Diary

During my researches for Voices from Stoke Bishop, a drama I have written about Stoke Bishop during the First World War, a lot of fascinating material was offered to me by local people. But there was nothing more haunting than the letters and diaries written from the trenches. was particularly struck by the little book loaned to me by Val Ackland, whose fatherin-law, Gilbert, from Redland, served in the 6th Somerset Light Infantry as No 1 on a Vickers machine gun in Belgium near Ypres. Between May 20th and October 20th 1915 he wrote every day in his diary and in so doing gives an immediacy to our understanding of what life was like in the trenches. While there was certainly many moments of standing in rat infested mud under a continuous barrage of shells, life was more a creeping mix of boredom, discomfort and fear. In common with most of the troops stepping onto French soil, Gilbert was eager to get to the front. He enjoyed practising his rudimentary French but found the natives strange: ‘We had lumps of bread without plates, hard boiled eggs and tea in basins.’ He hated the long route marches on uncomfortable cobbles, but as much a scourge as the mud were the flies. ‘Endeavoured to smoke the flies out of the tent today – but even burning Tich’s old pants didn’t kill them, although it nearly did for us!’ Only gradually did the reality of war sink in. Passing through Ypres on the way to the trenches he wrote of the journey as ‘long, tiring, stinking with dead bodies and carcasses, much mud and water … shells every now and then …. shall never forget

today’s experience and cannot describe all I saw and felt.’ But it was the day his friends Norman and Tich got wounded by a shell and one of his team got killed that shattered his nerves. ‘Norman called out my name as he was being taken past our dugout. I got him in and helped dress his wounds. My God! I shall never forget today … My dear old Sgt Gilbert Ackland in 1916 pals hurt and now gone. After helping with Norman my nerves seem a total wreck. We got out tonight, but I feel miserable, sick and despondent. What a hell life is here. Shells and shots come in all directions, sides, back & front as we are in an advanced position. I don’t care what happens.’ Gilbert was in Sanctuary Wood, the hottest part of the Ypres salient. But he overcame his depression and survived the war unwounded. The last entry in his diary reads: ‘Went to Cinema again in evening – how easily one forgets war during a couple of hours at the “pictures”.’ Keith Sheather Voices from Stoke Bishop will be performed on Saturday 18 Oct at 7.30pm at St Mary Magdalene Church, Stoke Bishop.
