Editors Letter Welcome to the July/August issue of Village View magazine, a great little read for the summer. By the time you read this the Jubilee celebrations will be over and the Olympics will be just around the corner. Sadly we have not been able to use an Olympic theme for the magazine, due to copyright restrictions, but we do hope that you will all get to see a bit of the action, live or on television. We have been able to include a lovely poem by Ena Jenkins of Radnage (Page 20) who is one of the official Olympic poets and also grandmother to Clare Strange who is competing in the Wheelchair Basketball, we would like to wish her luck for the competition this summer. We do hope you like our cover picture, what a fantastic way to see our beautiful countryside. If you would like to know more about Balloon Flights across Buckinghamshire why not give Jan a call on 07712816336.

This poem was written by Ena Jenkins of Radnage who is one of the BT Storytellers for the Olympic and Paralympic Games - go to http://www.btlondon2012.co.uk/storytellers to find out more. Ena’s grandaughter Clare Strange will be representing GB at the Paralympics in the Women’s Wheelchair Basketball Team.
Olympics time again, it’s London’s year To be the centre of the athletics world, All’s ready, scene is set, banners to be unfurled, So come, by land, sea, air from far and near. Excitement builds and, as in centuries past, Elite athletes will assemble for the fray, Ready and willing to run, jump or play, Giving their all as long as the Games last. Competitiveness is good – but the game’s the thing Enjoy, exhaust yourselves and please the crowd Be proud of what you do, pride is allowed! Months, years of training may not bring A medal, but you were there, shared the thrill Part of a great tradition, growing still.

REPS No:R0049192 Pilates targets the deep postural muscles, building strength from the inside out, rebalancing the body and bringing it into the correct alignment. It helps to reshape your body, which will become longer and leaner and more toned. It will also improve your posture, achieving the perfect balance between strength and flexibility and it is a great way to reduce stress or unwanted tension. Perfect for athletes looking to enhance their performance and it is also ideal for first-time exercisers. Its slow, controlled approach means it gives much longer-term results. It is especially recommended by medical specialists for those with back problems.

Dog of the Month Shenzi
Hi, my name is Shenzi, and I’m a 1 year old Border Terrier Cross. Although I say so myself, I’m a fantastic little girl with lots of potential.
I just love running around and chasing toys and, again showing my modesty, think I would make a great agility or flyball dog, and so would love to go to training classes for the tricks and socialisation. I’m a loveable girl, and in the right home will make a loyal companion. I’m OK with other dogs, not so sure about cats, and would suit PAGE 30
a family home with children aged 7 and over. If you are interested in offering me, or any other dog, a loving home please visit Stokenchurch Dog Rescue any day except Thursday between 2pm and 4pm, or give them a call on 01494 482695. It would be great to see you!

Dry Weather Gardening
Now On
After all those weeks in early summer when it didn’t stop raining, many plants will have been lulled into a false sense of security. And we’re also likely to have become too used to not worrying about watering and how to minimise the effects of dry weather. Here are some tips for coping: Mulching really does help to keep the moisture in the soil. Make sure it’s really well watered BEFORE you apply the mulch. Then around the area, covering the roots of the plant (or preferably a bit further) shovel on well-rotted manure, composted bark or garden compost. Mulching benefits vegetables as well as flowers. A slow but steady supply of water is more use and appreciated by plants more than intermittent heavy drenching. Newly planted trees and shrubs establish better and suffer drought stress less if the soil is never allowed to dry completely. Installing perforated or permeable pipe beneath the soil surface or beneath the mulch provides what they need. Don’t risk new plantings for the patio becoming drought stressed. When planting up late season patio pots, make sure you line the insides of the pot with bubble-wrap polythene. When you need to water your garden, apply it in the evening or early in the morning. Less will be lost by evaporation and there will also be less likelihood of plants suffering scorching. Avoid buying new plants right now. In dry conditions it’s much harder for a plant to become established and more likely that it’ll suffer stress. Temporary shading, such as shade netting (available from garden centres) or some large, leafy branches driven in to the soil, will help to keep things a little cooler during the hotter weather. Vegetable plants can be covered with netted cloches to achieve the same effect. PAGE 32

Siphoning water out from the bath is a great way to re- use domestic water. The tiny quantities of soap won’t cause any problems. Remember that some plants are more tolerant of dry conditions than others. On the whole, plants with silvery or densely hairy leaves are pretty drought tolerant, as are those of Mediterranean origin. Some favourites include: Convolvulus cneorum: stunning silvery leaves and miniature white flowers, often with a touch of pink, which resemble those of morning glories. Rosemary: this shrub has great purple flowers and wonderfully aromatic foliage, perfect for cooking. When mature many people use the wood to make barbeque skewers, imparting a delightful rosemary aroma to the meat. Senecio maritime: a pretty divided leafed plant with dense hair on the leaves making it look silvery. Gazanias: with their large orange, brown and burgundy flowers and silvered leaves, they look a treat in patio pots of summer borders. Lavenders: aromatic leaves and perfumed blue, lilac purple or white flower spikes, this cottage garden favourite is also a magnet for bees. Geraniums and their cousins, Pelargoniums, are both very drought resistant, and come with foliage that is often attractively marked and pretty flowers. Pelargoniums, usually the more flamboyantly coloured of the two, are not hardy but great in summer containers and the herbaceous geraniums should last for years.

Hamlet Historians Rough Justice - 1844
At Watlington Petty Sessions, Jane Allen, “a wretchedly distressed looking woman, with an infant at her breast, was charged with having stolen a small faggot of wood, from a pile in Thirds Wood, the property of John Page, chairmaker of Water End, Stokenchurch. Alfred Newell said he saw Allen take the faggot at about half past five o’clock in the morning. The husband of the defendant, covered with rags, and bespeaking from his appearance great poverty, declared that no person left his house till after six o’clock, and his wife declared she did not enter the wood till after six o’clock, and then only to collect some dry boughs to warm her children. The Bench more than once put it to the prosecutor as to whether he was determined to press the charge, and he said he was – he had lost faggots before. The mother, with the infant in her arms, was committed to Oxford gaol, to take her trial at the Quarter Session, charged with stealing the said faggot of the value of three farthings.” Examiner 28th December 1844. The national press promptly published its verdict on John Page. “What a very pleasant Christmas this John Page must have passed! … With what sweet serenity he must have gone to church, for of course such a stickler for three-farthing PAGE 46

honesty, has his pew and all things proper, and pays his devotions regularly as his taxes. And when he returned to his jocund home, and having said grace, enjoyed like a good man his Christmas dinner, with what extreme self contentment he must have looked upon his children (if he be blessed with such cherubs) thinking of the felonious Jane Allen’s babe in Oxford goal. What pleasant things he must have seen in the embers of his Christmas log! What a Jacob’s ladder must his fancy have pictured, with John Page, chairmaker, upon all but the topmost rung! And is this a man to want a faggot? Certainly not; Punch would give him one with all his heart and all his strength.” Exeter and Plymouth Gazette 11th January 1845

Was John Page aware how widely he was ridiculed? The Examiner reported on 11th January that Jane, “was to have taken her trial at the Oxford sessions, just over; but having been delivered of a child was too ill, and the trial was postponed.

We moved to the area looking for a village school with small class sizes. Mary Towerton has fantastic facilities including a huge playground and sports field in a truly picturesque setting. Both my children love going to school. They enjoy the varied activities and clubs e.g. football, rugby, gymnastics, gardening, dance, cookery.
It’s not just a school it’s a very friendly community with an incredible sense of fellowship
