Dear Readers
Welcome to the July issue of Causeway. Thank you for your patience whilst we took a break under the advice of the Church of England. We hope you are as happy as we are that we can get the magazine out to you again! Lockdown has meant many different things for different people. Some have found the time to be a positive period offering space and renewal, others are struggling emotionally, mentally or physically. For some it might be that whole families are living together who perhaps wouldn’t normally, sharing a space that usually feels large enough but suddenly feels cramped.
Contents
For others, school and nursery closures along with home working have meant families are all tripping over one another sharing the technology, trying to work, educate and relax in the same space. More than a few dining tables will have become makeshift offices and schools! For others it has perhaps meant weeks or even months of not actually seeing or speaking to anyone else. Then there are the key workers who have been working tirelessly in hospitals or supermarkets, driving trucks, collecting the rubbish or providing the power to our homes, perhaps not seeing loved ones at all. Many people have been furloughed, or face losing their jobs, or the failure of a business they have worked for years to build up. Tragically, for others it has meant the loss of loved ones, without being able to say goodbye.

One positive that has run throughout the lockdown period has been those people prepared to selflessly help and support others. Our communities are filled with everyday heroes working and volunteering to benefit others thank you! Although we live in the same village, we have experienced lockdown very differently and have reflected between ourselves on how we have weathered the storm within our own homes on page 24. We have updates from our advertisers as to how their businesses are working hard to stay open and continue delivering great service under new guidelines.

Hospice Care News Martin House opens doors for planned Respite Stays
“While the planned stays we’re now offering will be very different to what families are used to, we hope it will go some way to giving them the support they so desperately need.”
Children and young people with lifeshortening conditions will have more access to hospice care as Martin House opens its doors again following the relaxation of pandemic lockdown rules.
Among the measures in place to protect children and staff are opening a limited number of beds, and asking that children either come to the hospice alone, or with one parent or guardian.
The hospice was forced to cancel all planned short breaks for families when the UK went into lockdown in March, due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
There will be staggered mealtimes, and communal areas will be used by children one at a time. Planned stays will be offered in set blocks, either Monday to Thursday or Friday to Saturday, to allow for deep cleaning, while care staff will wear PPE when caring for children.
While it has continued to provide emergency care and end of life care, hundreds of families have been unable to make their regular planned stays for the last three months.
Martin House is also offering outreach visits in people’s own homes, so it can give care and support to as many families as possible.
Dr Michael Tatterton, deputy director of clinical services at Martin House, said: “We know it’s been really tough for families during the lockdown. Most have been shielding to protect their children, and while we’ve been keeping in touch through phone and video calls, it’s not the same as coming to the hospice.
Michael added: “We’ll be regularly reviewing our care offering, to ensure it is in line with government guidelines as the situation continues to develop. “It’s really important to us to work with families to make sure we are giving them the care they need at this time.”
“Planned short stays are a huge part of the care we offer to families, and they often tell us how vital it is for them to have that break from the 24/7 care their child needs, to have time to relax and rest as a family.
For more information, and to support Martin House’s urgent appeal, as it has been forced to cancel its fundraising events, visit www. martinhouse.org.uk.

Letter from the Clergy As I write this letter for the July magazine we are just embarking on the season of Trinity in the Church. This long and mainly uneventful time in the Church’s year continues until the Kingdom season just before Advent. It is a season when we acknowledge the presence of God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit in our lives, and all the richness this brings to us.
we should look at how we can help others to achieve the same outlook. We have these coming weeks of Trinity to show and teach others that God is in our lives in every way; Father, Son and Holy Spirit. It can be a time for us all to build on the inclusive atmosphere around during the lockdown, show our solidarity for all of God’s children and pray for those who need to learn that God’s love is for all races, colours of skin, and states of being.
The next few months should be filled with summer weddings, baptisms, holidays and harvest; as it is, we do not know what to do with ourselves. We have no idea when ‘normal’ times will resume, or how soon the effects of Covid19 will abate.
The Trinitarian God, created the whole world for humanity to live in. Freely given to us all to share. For those who do not see equality in the eyes of the Father, I ask you to pray to the Son for the Holy Spirit to find ways for us to teach that Black Lives Matter just as much as all of us matter to God. May our individual prayers help us all to make a difference.
It has been a long few weeks that have seen a great deal of goodness in a lot of people, from the sacrifices made by caring staff, the patience of those furloughed from their work, the volunteering of those available to help, the applause and the prayers of those who kept others going. I imagine this has been a worldwide trait as this virus hit most communities throughout many countries.
REV TRISH
It should be a time when I feel incredibly positive about the direction of the hearts and minds of people everywhere, but now I am brought into a state of gloom. I look and listen to the news from across the western world and hear of the inhumanity of some people against others. The death of George Floyd, a black citizen in America, by the action of the police, points to the racial undercurrents in so many places. We are now hearing the slogan ‘Black Lives Matter’ on our screens and in our papers. The most important thing to notice is that voices are risen in protest across other countries as well, including our own. We could respond by telling each other that every life matters, but then we need to remind ourselves that in the eyes of some people that has very obviously not been the case! St. Paul sets out what has to be the universal statement for us all to follow, ‘There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.’ (Galatians 3:28) and rather than sit down and congratulate ourselves for our lack of racial hatred, maybe 8
Memories of a local landmark Flint Mill As I Remember It
In 1935, when I was 11, we moved to Bridge Cottage, as my father had taken over Thorp Arch Mill, although we kept Flint Mill until 1954.
I arrived at Flint Mill in February 1924, when I was five days old. During the next five years, before starting school I had a lovely time playing on the river banks with the two sheepdogs, Rover and Scamp, owned by my father.
MANY THANKS TO KATHY TRENHOLME WHO SUBMITTED THIS PIECE, WRITTEN BY HER FATHER JOHN SANDERSON.
The Flint Mill, is a Grade II listed building, located about one and a quarter miles upstream of Thorp Arch Bridge. It began as a waterpowered corn mill around 1772 but in 1774 the mill began to grind Flint for Leeds pottery, hence the name! Eventually due to the changing nature of the business the mill reverted back to grinding corn and also to shelling oats. The Lister family are shown as living there on the census for 1851 and the mill stopped operating in 1954 becoming derelict until it was converted into a private dwelling in 1975.
Rover was threatened with being put to sleep after biting me, I still have the scar to this day. I had trapped his tail in the door. Fortunately, my mother stepped in and my friend was saved. I still remember watching fish jumping up the weir from my small bedroom overlooking the river. From here I could watch the otters playing in the salmon leap, they remain the only ones I have seen in my life. During this time my father was grinding corn for the local farmers, collecting the grain, and delivering the flour with a small cart and a pony called Peter. He used Peter and the cart until he bought his motor truck, a one ton Morris, in late 1929. Peter was retired from his daily jobs so my mother had him full time for the trap in which I was taken to school each day. On the way, we used to pick two other boys from the houses at Walton Gates crossing, where the railway crossed the road. We used to drive across the fields to get to the crossing, and coming home we used to walk across the fields.
FROM LEODIS ARCHIVE OF LEEDS.
Later, when I reached the ripe age of seven, I was trusted to drive Peter and the trap to school at Thorp Arch by myself. Arrangements were made for me to leave Peter and the trap in the yard at the Pax Inn. Between us, we took Peter out of his harness and tied him up before crossing the road and going into school. Looking back, I suppose the landlord at The PAx must have helped us with Peter, even though I don’t recall this. At the age of eight I was transferred to the council school in Wetherby. This meant a daily walk up the lane to Wetherby/Walton road, where I was picked up by the local bus. During this time I learnt to ride, taught by an uncle who had a riding school, alongside his farm at Flint Mill. 9

Boston Spa News Flags Replace Hanging Baskets
as you’ll see if you go up and down the High Street in Boston Spa, all 66 brackets for hanging baskets have a flag furling in the wind. It was a tremendous team effort, with Bob Baxter (left in photo) taking the lead to install all the flags.
David Watts can’t help himself, it’s true. He gets an idea in his head, and no sooner is he sending out e-mails to make it reality. The good folks on the Boston in Bloom Committee usually make the lovely hanging baskets happen every summer (among other things). Well, this year Covid-19 put the kibosh on that; with workers at the wholesale nursery sent home in March, there were no flowers for the hanging baskets. So David had the idea of home-made flags instead. Logistics and specifications were determined, and then the word went out: ‘If you’re sitting at home with naught else to do, why don’t you make a flag?’
But that won’t be the end of it: when the flags come down again at the end of the summer, the plan is to sew them all up into a wall hanging (or more than one) to display somewhere in the village in commemoration of this difficult time. Well-done, flag team!

These are unprecedented times but WiSE are determined to be here for our friends. You are not alone, you will be contacted by the organisation and there are mechanisms to support you if required. Keep safe, please observe the rules around isolating and we will see one another soon in better times.
We re-opened for business since Tuesday 14th April, the temporary closure enforced by the Government had then allowed us to prepare safe procedures and guidelines, so that we were then able to re-open and trade safely. For a small family business, a temporary closure causes a lot of uncertainty, however with the right procedures in place, we have been amazed in the support from our new and existing customers.

Green Update In Britain we have lost 97% of our wild meadows since the 1930s and many British pollinating insects are in decline. This has devastating knock on effects for all of our biodiversity. All those with any size of garden can help to reverse this decline, by mowing any lawn areas either less or not at all. So although this is a big challenge, as many of us like our gardens to look neat and tidy, try mowing the lawn just once a month and leaving the grass a bit longer or setting aside a patch that is unmown and just see how many wild flowers start to pop up. You will be surprised at just how nice it can look.

PENNY STABLES
Lock down has been a difficult time for those who were already struggling to cope. Food banks now have the added demand from those who have lost their jobs due to coronavirus. Added to this is the fact that people are not going to the supermarket in the way they did, which has impacted donations.
Leeds City Council are delighted to be working with Great Green Systems to further support our residents’ recycling efforts. We hope that the discounted rate on these food waste digesters and composters will encourage you to take up the offer and help you manage your food and garden waste at home www.greatgreensystems.com/leeds-offer

are not forgotten and have been kept supplied with food and chat throughout. It is our 90th birthday this year, a ladies group has existed in the parish since 1930 in one guise or another and we will be celebrating this with much joy when we are able to get together again. We will be holding our annual AGM via zoom in July, a first for the group and an interesting & somewhat unique way to start our birthday year!
The lockdown has certainly changed the way we meet and spend time together. We continue to meet monthly via zoom and our members have been keeping busy with a myriad of activities – from making a massive friendship quilt with members from other branches of the organisation, gardening (we will be able to host a member’s garden open event to end all open events when this is all over!), sewing scrubs, masks and washing bags for the NHS, making friendship dolls for people in ICU, zoom zumba, zoom anything of interest to us, reading to grandchildren via on-line get togethers, caring for neighbours, reading, making the most of the daily exercise hour and sharing funny memes, jokes and quizzes.
However, nothing really makes up for seeing each other in person and we all look forward to seeing each other again soon. If you would like to join us, you are very welcome to do so, please contact us via email tawyca@outlook.com or check out our facebook page @tawyca. Finally, the obligatory zoom meeting picture from our first zoom meeting, it feels like a long time ago already!
Boston Spa Guides Volunteer with Us
The group’s overriding principles of friendship and support have been tested many times but this is certainly one of the bigger challenges and we are determined to come out smiling and as strong as we were when it all started.
Boston Spa Guides are looking for volunteers. We’re a happy lively unit of girls aged 10-14 years who meet on Monday nights. Do you want to do something amazing and help give girls in your local community more opportunities for fun, friendship, challenge and adventure?
The group continues to go from strength to strength and friendships are standing the test of separation, a group as large as ours has many diverse interests and it is great to hear members getting in touch with each other to share interesting news about other hobbies and interests they share. Members and the Committee are also making sure our more vulnerable and less IT literate members
There are lots of ways you can volunteer with Girlguiding, it’s flexible and can fit around busy lifestyles. You can even learn new skills and receive training while making a real difference. www.girlguiding.org.uk/get-involved/become-avolunteer/register-your-interest Clare Elwen clare.elwen@talktalk.net Catharine Auty catharine.auty@btinternet.com

Local Author’s First Book The Cobber, by Matthew Pitt
decided there was nothing for it – he came back to England and married Ida.
Every once in a while you hear of someone getting the timing just right, and such is the case with Thorp Arch resident Matthew Pitt, who has just published his first book.
Nevertheless, George had now established some roots in Australia, and he and Ida decided to return there to make their life. They ran a successful grocery store in Melbourne; the pleasant young ‘cobber’ and his lovely wife soon became part of the local community. Matt describes him as ‘an ordinary man trying to do the best for his family, but who lived in extraordinary times and did some unbelievable things - all with a smile on his face despite the incredible hardships.’
He has based it on the true story of his grandfather George, who moved to Australia only a few years after the First World War – not long after Spanish Flu killed over 50 million people in the world’s worst pandemic since the black plague. Did the current Covid-19 pandemic give him the idea to write a book about the effects of a pandemic? ‘No, it was pure coincidence, although the analogies with Spanish Flu are uncanny given current events,’ Matthew replied.
Right on cue, nine months after the wedding, a little girl was born, and life was looking pretty darn good for George and Ida. But a year later their idyll was shattered when Ida became seriously ill with a mutant strain of the Spanish flu, and George had to make an agonising choice between his business and his wife.
Matthew was born ‘in a small maternity hospital on the edge of Ilkley Moor.’ His mother taught at the local primary school, and his father was the local bobby. As he grew up he may have heard stories about his maternal grandfather who emigrated to Australia, but it wasn’t until recently that his interest was piqued again.
Without giving the whole plot away, the other problem that appeared in George’s life was his older brother Frank, who had also decided that Australia must be a good place to live. The two brothers could hardly have been more different. Where George was hard-working and a conscientious businessman with a friendly personality, Frank was a fanatical Marxist with an abrasive streak a mile wide. As Matt says, ‘the family always remembered him as rather an odd character…. There is a photo of my mother outside my grandfather’s grocery store. As a child he would give me small gifts off the shelves and pocket money wrapped in cigarette boxes.’
‘It started when I researched my family history and realised what a colourful lot my ancestors were. One person in particular caught my imagination, my maternal grandfather, George Fox – “the cobber,” as they called him Down Under.’ A cobber is an informal term for a friend or mate. As Matt would discover, his grandfather enlisted to fight in WW1 at the second attempt, aged just seventeen. He ended up in the trenches near Ypres, where he was one of three in his battalion to make it over no-man’s land to the Hindenburg Line. He was taken to a prisoner of war camp, where he reportedly survived on nettle soup.
Matthew, now aged 56, describes himself as a businessman, just like his grandfather. He and his wife Charlotte moved to Thorp Arch in 1994. ‘We started a family the following year. My oldest son is now almost 25, so we have lived here for a quarter of a century!’ Matt and Charlotte have two grown children.
After the war ended, George returned home but decided to emigrate to Australia in search of his fortune. As such things happen, a few weeks before his ship sailed, he met a young lass called Ida and fell in love. Still, he sailed. But he and Ida started writing – which was no mean feat in those days, as letters took several months to reach their destination. Two years later, he
The Cobber is Matthew’s first book, and when asked if he had always wanted to write, he replied, ‘No, it only occurred to me recently that writing a novel might be an interesting challenge. 20
In my twenties I wrote songs, but this is my first literary endeavour. The dates in the book are accurate, but the story of the cobber is my own interpretation of what might have happened.’

Matthew’s day job made it impossible to go to Melbourne to do research, but he has been to Australia, including the part of Sydney where Ida was treated in hospital. ‘The character of Laverack, the immunologist with a keen interest in her illness, was based on one of my old university professors who was an Aussie.’

It took him only three months to write the book, but the process of review and publishing was twice as long. Like many writers nowadays, he decided to self-publish, a process that he found remarkably straightforward: ‘The main disadvantage is not having the marketing support offered to writers with a big name behind them. My intention is to see how friends and family react, then to step up my [marketing] efforts if the response is favourable.’ What did he learn from writing the book? ‘I researched Spanish Flu to make sure the science was accurate. Unlike coronavirus which is most deadly for older people and those with underlying health issues, Spanish Flu mostly killed young people in their prime.’ Any more books in the pipeline? ‘Yes, I’ve almost completed a “prequel” to The Cobber. It’s the story of George’s earlier life, his miraculous survival in the Great War and how he worked in Tasmania on an assisted passage scheme for Commonwealth veterans. Having fallen in love only weeks before his ship sailed, he returned to get Ida, stowing-away on the ship so he wasn’t made to repay his fare! Something to look forward to! Meanwhile, The Cobber is available as an e-book on Amazon, Kobo and Apple for just £3.99. The paperback was published at the beginning of June and is available at £9.99 with a 10% discount to readers of The Causeway by emailing Matthew direct on familypitt@totalise.co.uk. We wish Matthew much success with his new endeavour! ANNE WATTS

Lockdown Experiences Same Storm, Different Boats
in January 2020! The realisation that neither I nor Connie would be seeing my parents for 2-3 months was probably the hardest part for me when the news was announced. I was also placed on furlough as continuing to work properly around Connie would have been difficult and as we are a small business to future proof us for the unknown that comes next.
One of the things that I have found frustrating during lockdown is the phrase ‘we are all in the same boat.’ This is untrue, we are all weathering the same storm, but some of us are on a luxury yacht and others are clinging to a homemade raft that is barely sea worthy. Each of us will have faced different challenges, and I hope joys, through this period of history. Lisa and I thought we would share our experiences to demonstrate just how different these few months have been for people, even those living in the same village.
The first few weeks were probably the hardest as we adapted to all being together all day every day, Connie developed a habit of changing outfits 3-4 times a day, I was thankful for the dry weather purely so I could get all the washing done! I hadn’t realised how much I appreciated the few hours Connie was in nursery to clear my head with a bit of yoga, run around tidying then concentrate on work, being able to collect her refreshed and ready to play again. We’ve also had Katie more often as her mum is a key worker in a school, that has given extra entertainment for Connie at least as they get on beautifully!
Lisa When I first learnt about the virus hitting China and the country going into lockdown I didn’t for a second think that the same scenario would hit the UK, nor could I have realised how much of an effect it would have on my daily life.
We have spent a lot of time in the garden and we’re so thankful for our outdoor space, our large unkempt garden is slowly looking more presentable and we’ve enjoyed many mealtimes outside. I won’t deny however that the introduction of Disney+ has also given an hour or so respite on rainy days! We’ve enjoyed bike rides along the local tracks and the slower way of life has definitely been appreciated to spend more time as a family without the pressures of work. My usual regular baking has been limited due to the complete lack of gluten-free flour available for the first two months of lockdown - I have become experienced in experimenting with different combinations, some have worked some really haven’t! Connie and I social distancing with neighbours on VE Day
We have mostly appreciated the time together and Connie’s vocabulary has grown even more, she has always been a strong conversationalist face to face but now happily joins in on chats on video calls and asks to call up Nanna and Grandy just for a chat. Apart from my parents my family is spread across the country, not having our usual busy lives has meant we’ve had time for regular “zoom parties” and its been great keeping in touch without the usual distance to drive - I won’t deny however that I’m very excited to see them all again in person as soon as possible.
As I’ve written about before, we are a family of three, myself, my partner Anthony, Connie who is nearly four (eek) with fortnightly visits from my partner Anthony’s 7-year-old daughter Katie. Anthony had already begun working from home two weeks before the lockdown was announced, I usually work part-time for my Dad travelling down to the office in Pontefract once a week whilst my Mum plays with Connie, otherwise I work whilst she is at nursery two mornings a week - she only started 24
Lockdown Experiences Victoria
Having adult children living at home does bring advantages. Help with the household chores has given me a little more time to garden and indulge in some less functional cooking. For the first time in many years I have had the time to make Elderflower cordial, yoghurt and sourdough bread. Although my gorgeous neighbour tells me I have planted far too many courgettes!
My household includes two adult children, Rosalynd, aged 20 and Anastasia, aged 23, who usually live independently(ish); Andrew, my (sometimes) lovely husband, who works abroad for three weeks a month as well as me. So, I am used to having the house to myself, apart from the dogs and chickens. Lockdown meant that Anastasia’s touring production was cancelled, Rosalynd moved home and Andrew was unable to fly anywhere.
This has been lovely, for as you can imagine, a job that involves mental health support has been busier and more draining during lockdown. I mostly work with young people, many of whom are frightened about a very uncertain future.
My peaceful, tidy house has once more become a family home, with all the noise and mess that entails.
Our boat is seaworthy, for which I give thanks. However, I am very aware that there are many people whose experience has been much less calm. With that in mind I offer this prayer, I didn’t write it but it expresses much of what is in my heart.
Andrew, Rosalynd and myself all work full time, so we are now based at home, fighting over the broadband, there are only so many Zoom meetings one connection will support! Office space is at a premium; my job involves a lot of mental health support, so I make many confidential phone calls. There have been times I have considered locking myself in the bathroom to get a quiet space! However, I am deeply thankful that I am spared the stress of trying to homeschool alongside working from home. Anastasia is a seamstress as well as an actress, and has been making scrubs for local hospitals. This has been brilliant as without a job she was without purpose. The downside is that the dining room vaguely resembles a sweatshop and there are little pieces of blue thread everywhere! I consider our household to be very blessed, we have no underlying health conditions; three of us have jobs we can do from home and Anastasia has found purpose in volunteering. Our main anxiety has focussed on being cut off from family. My mother is in end stage dementia and my father is her main carer. Lockdown has meant we have been unable to offer the same level of support that we would under normal circumstances. However, technology has helped us to stay in touch and provide company for my father when he has needed it.

The Birds in your Garden Starlings
Starlings will be aware, they are not doing very well at the moment. Breeding numbers in the UK fell rapidly during the early 80s particularly in the south and west of Britain, and their UK conservation listing was changed from amber to red. Their breeding performance has gradually improved, suggesting that their continued low numbers may be due to poor survival rates of young birds.
Although the size of a Starling is close to that of a Blackbird, they are a more rakish, bustling, social bird; often noisy and flighty. At distance, the adults appear black, but on closer viewing the iridescent nature of the plumage becomes evident. It is possible to tell the sex of two adults, but only during the breeding season. Males have glossier plumage and a blueish blush at the base of their bills whilst females have a pinkish blush (!) at the base of their bills. I was prompted to write this piece after watching local birds fighting over the suet balls, before out onto the lawn to probe for larvae: they spend the summer months feeding mostly on soil-dwelling invertebrates, such as leatherjackets (the larvae of crane flies). From late summer their diet will change and they will eat increasing quantities of plant material. With the first eggs laid in April, Starlings begin looking for nesting cavities early in the year. The loss of suitable cavities is thought to be a factor in their decline. Cavities under roof tiles or within barge boards and soffits are now less common than they once were, reducing opportunities for urban Starlings.
Wintering Starlings roost communally and vast flocks may congregate at favoured sites, typically performing amazing aerobatic displays (known as ‘murmurations’) before dropping into the roost, which may be a reed bed, a group of conifers or a human structure such as a pier. These vast flocks have more humble beginnings, with small flocks of Starlings coming together as dusk approaches. You can see them in late winter in quite a few places, one being Portrack Marsh reserve on Teesside.
By the time you read this, the earlier broods will have developed a brighter plumage, but the later ones will still be around and kicking up a fuss, demanding to be fed NOW. A pair will typically raise two broods per year, and within two months most juveniles will have moulted and gained their first basic plumage. They will acquire their adult plumage next year. Starlings show a certain amount of adaptability when it comes to food. In addition to probing the ground for invertebrates, they will also flycatch or actively pursue insects across the ground. Large food scraps are taken regularly, and they have even been known to tackle small lizards, newts and frogs. This resourceful nature is one reason why the Starling has adapted so well to living in urbanised landscapes.
If you find the lives of our garden birds to be of interest, and would like to join in and count the feathered occupants of your garden, please contact me or visit the BTO Garden BirdWatch website it’s still free for the moment (www.bto.org/gbw). If you know of an organisation no more than 30 miles from York which would like a talk on garden birds whenever such activities resume, call: Mike Gray gbwmike@gmail.com.
