‘Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Flies Again’

by Frank Cottrell Boyce When the Tooting family find a vast abandoned engine and fit it to their camper van, they have no idea of the adventure that lies ahead. The engine used to belong to an extraordinary flying car and it wants to be back on the road again ...fast! The Tootings can haul on the steering wheel and pull the handbrake as hard as they like, but their camper van now has a mind of her own. It’s not long before they’re hurtling along on a turbocharged chase as Chitty tracks down her long-lost bodywork. But there are sinister forces at work too. When it comes to a car as special as Chitty, everybody wants a piece of her ...

Fourteen-year-old Sherlock has come up against some challenges in his time, but what confronts him now is completely baffling. His tutor, Crowe, and Crowe’s daughter, Ginny, have vanished.

Their house looks as if nobody has ever lived there. Neighbours claim never to have heard of them. Sherlock begins to doubt his sanity, until a chance clue points him to Scotland. Following that clue leads him into the throes of a mystery that involves kidnapping, bodysnatchers and a man who claims he can raise the dead. Before he knows it, Sherlock is fighting for his life as he battles to discover what has happened to his his friends.

November in the Garden

ovember can be a month of damp, cold miserable.

You may still have asters and nerines performing and the berries of skimmias, autumn foliage and decorative bark to keep you company on the bleakest days. Now is the time you really appreciate any evergreen foliage you have planted.

This is probably one of the busiest months in the garden for maintenance but remember any work done this month will save you loads of time and effort come the spring.

With the new seed catalogues out for next spring, now is a best time to sit down with a cup of tea and decide what you want to grow next year. Order it as soon as possible before their seed banks are depleted.

If you have sown seedlings of hardy annuals protect them with some horticultural fleece in the hardest of frosts.

Towards the end of the month winter prune deciduous trees and shrubs including fruit trees and bushes. Mulch around all fruit trees and shrubs that have been pruned.

Planting Any hardwood cuttings that you took last autumn should now be planted out into their permanent positions. November is the month to plant trees, protect newly planted trees and shrubs from harsh winds and severe weather.Whenever you plant or move shrubs, stake and water them well in, and put a good a layer of mulch around the base.

Now and over the next couple of months is a good time to visit your garden centre to seek out those plants which look good through the

winter. It’s still not too late to plant spring flowering bulbs.

Vegetables You can start harvesting celeriac by digging it up with a fork from now until the spring. Lift and divide rhubarb crowns.

Early this month plant out garlic.If you’re into your veg now is the time to lift and heel in winter leeks before the ground is frozen solid. If you have stored vegetables or fruit – keep an eye on them to prevent rot and disease spreading. Begin collecting vegetables that you have been growing through the summer such as parsnips and brussel sprouts. It is a good time to take hardwood cuttings of the following: redcurrants, whitecurrants, blackcurrants, gooseberries.

Lawns With this mild weather we have been having, your lawn may well still need one final cut. Once that’s out of the way, get your mower serviced, this saves a lot of screaming and shouting next spring when the blasted thing won’t start.Make sure you don’t walk on the lawn when there is a frost, all you will do is leave big brown foot prints were you have broken the brittle grass stalks.

Maintenance Give your glasshouse, benches, pots and tools a good clean with a disinfectant. Throw away old pots and any rubbish that is not needed.

Now is the time to get those glasshouse heaters fired up to protect any tender plants and cuttings that you have. Insulate the inside of your greenhouse or insulate your cold frames and on really cold nights cover the cold frame with an extra layer. Just because the air is colder now that should not prevent you ventilating your greenhouse and coldframes on the sunnier days of the month. This will prevent stale air and the dreaded spread of damping off.

Clear out bird boxes and put some food out for the birds such as nuts, seeds, fruit, and Irish brown bread. To prevent the garden hose from being damaged from the frosts - take in and store, but make sure you drain off any remaining water. Also protect outdoor taps by insulating them. Prevent leaves accumulating on the lawn. The lack of air circulation and sunlight will encourage moss.
