New era for St Ives Tennis Club Plastic Free: Unmasking a new problem September Festival: Planning for 2021
Welcome...
t’s September and we should be in festival mode. Instead, we’re reflecting on a busy summer in town, with plenty of visitors, busy businesses, but a distinct sense of anti-climax without the season finale which is the St Ives September Festival. At least a lot of the planned events should be re-booked for 2021. The town may be busy, but a lot of businesses have been welcoming far fewer customers than they would during a normal summer. As lockdown measures gradually ease, it’s important that we all make the best use of our local shops, services, and food and drink venues. Eat Out to Help Out was a great boost, but it’s behind us now. As the season ends, we must keep buying local! Thank you, incidentally, to all the new shops and venues stocking our magazine. A full list is on our website. John Chard’s cover photo this month shows the St Ives Jumbo – a type of lug-rigged fishing vessel – Celeste, which recently returned to the harbour to be reunited with sister vessel the William Paynter. The picture shows Celeste under full sail in the bay. Watch our website, stiveslocal.uk, and social media for the latest news on our publications. And if you’d like to submit news, events, or stories of local interest, email hello@stiveslocal.uk. See you in November!

Local News Reunion on the beach RNLI lifeguards based at Porthminster Beach had the rare opportunity to reunite with a casualty whose life they saved there last summer. Colin Prentice fell ill and suffered a severe bleed to the brain while on holiday with his family. Lifeguards Yasmin Mathews, Katherine Woods, and Elis Richards, along with supervisor Lloyd Davies, worked quickly and efficiently to administer casualty care, while communicating with the Coastguard and clearing the beach to allow the air ambulance to land. The lifeguards also supported Colin’s distraught family, controlled the crowds, and kept the situation as calm as possible. Colin was swiftly transferred to hospital, and his family feared the worst – but he made a miraculous recovery after three months of treatment at Derriford Hospital, Plymouth, Nottingham Hospital, and finally his own workplace, the Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre in Leicestershire. One year on, Colin and his family visited St Ives for their annual holiday. Yasmin, Katherine, Elis, and Lloyd arranged to meet up with the family at a venue of Colin’s choice – and he chose Porthminster Beach. “I can’t thank them all enough,” said Colin. “They knew exactly what to do and helped save my life. I wouldn’t be standing here without them, and the teamwork they showed on the day, between

themselves and the other emergency services, was brilliant.” Lloyd said: “It was a wonderful, yet very emotional experience for myself and the lifeguard team to meet with Colin and his family and see him looking so well. He is making a fantastic recovery and it’s amazing to see the positive outcome of what was a very dramatic day. “We rarely hear feedback or find out the conclusion of major First Aids that are passed on to other emergency services, so to all be together again, almost a year to the day, was an absolute pleasure.”
During half-term, from 26th to 30th October, the shop promises “a week filled with big books and bookish craft activities”. It will feature the ‘Big Book Of’ series of books by Yuval Zommer. Find out more about Stories by the Sea on social media.

Local News Changing lives through surfing Surf therapy will be made available to vulnerable children following a new partnership between Cornwall Council and the Wave Project, which runs surfing sessions along the north coast, including St Ives, with the aim of improve young people’s physical and mental wellbeing. Under the agreement, direct referrals can be made to the charity from council staff who work with children, including family support workers, social workers and school nurses. The council will pay for these places if the Wave Project does not have funds available through other sources, such as grants and donations. The approach fits the NHS social prescribing agenda, which encourages health professionals to prescribe activities such as walking and cycling to improve health. Wave Project founder, Joe Taylor, said that surf therapy has been established as a mental health intervention for more than 10 years, but this is the first time that a major local authority has backed it across its entire children’s services directorate. He added: “Our hope is that this partnership will mean that surfing as therapy will be available to all children who need it”.
Call to re-open leisure centre
Campaigners have launched a petition calling for St Ives Leisure Centre to be re-opened as soon as possible. The government allowed leisure centres to open their doors from 25th July, but the facility in St Ives remains closed. Greenwich Leisure Ltd (GLL), which runs the centre, is intending to re-open it in October, but is dependent on financial help from Cornwall Council – which might not happen, said Chloe Lorraine, who started the petition.

“St Ives Leisure Centre, and its pool particularly, is a key community asset that is used by many in the town and beyond. The pool is essential for local clubs to operate, including St Ives Bay Swim Club, St Ives Surf Lifesaving Club, and several of the schools, to give their pupils the chance to have swimming lessons. Both of my children learned to swim at the pool and swam regularly before it shut due to the pandemic.” Chloe added that many pools across the country need more funding from government to help them to cover their running costs. The petition can be signed at tinyurl.com/y4lvo9k3.
Consultation continues A bid from St Ives Town Deal board for cash from the government’s Towns Fund could be delayed from October to January, to allow more time for consultation and feedback. The board has been carrying out surveys to establish how best to use up to £25m available through the fund, which was established to increase economic growth, with a focus on regeneration, improved transport, better broadband connectivity, skills, and culture. The group is consulting local businesses and the public, looking for ideas centred on St Ives and stretching to the St Erth Transport Hub, via Carbis Bay and Lelant. To find out more, visit stivestowndeal.org.uk or search for St Ives Town Deal on Facebook.
Raising funds for Air Ambulance
Scott Halliday, who was severely burned in a kitchen accident at the Balcony restaurant in August, has thanked all those who supported him in a public Facebook post, in which he shared photographs of his injuries. He said the photos were of what he was calling his ‘good burns’, which should heal in time. “The other burns, I’m looking at needing skin grafts.” The emergency services swung into action very promptly on the day of the accident, and Scott is now raising funds to help the Air Ambulance team who took him to hospital. At the time of writing, he had raised more than £3,500.

Plastic Free St Ives: Unmasking a new problem
by Emma Fashokun, manager of the Cornish Gems Coffee Lounge This year has seen lots of changes for us all. Through lockdowns, quarantine, and social distancing, we’ve all had to adapt how we live our daily lives. Some of these changes have impacted the huge strides many of us have been making towards reducing our single-use plastic consumption. Soon after coronavirus appeared in the UK, many coffee shops introduced measures refusing reusable cups, in an effort to reduce transmission. Of course, reducing transference of the virus is paramount – but many experts have attested that provided correct hygiene procedures are followed, reusable cups are safe. It should be noted that the virus can stick to multiple surfaces, but that reusable cups can at least be washed in hot soapy water. Additionally, they can be handled with a paper towel and the exterior sanitised, which also negates the need for single-use gloves. The World Health Organisation has also advised that regular and thorough hand washing is more effective than gloves for reducing transmission and infection rates. Staff should also regularly wash their hands thoroughly, and customers should use sanitiser upon entering the shop, further reducing risk.
is available on YouTube. This includes using a tray to pass the reusable cup from customer to barista, further minimising contact. Since the implication of the mask-wearing requirements in July, conservationists have warned of the impact disposable masks could have on the environment. Even if only one tenth of Britons discarded a single-use mask, that would be 6.8 million of them polluting our countryside and waterways. At Plastic Free St Ives, we are evervigilant litter pickers around town, particularly when we spot discarded single-use plastic. We have noticed and picked up abandoned face masks on streets and on beaches. These masks could pollute our seas and endanger our wildlife, which can mistake floating plastic for food. We recommend reusable masks, which can be washed in hot soapy water to help protect you and our natural environment. Lots of local charities and shops – such as Atlantic Shore on Fore Street – are selling reusable masks in a variety of styles. Shop local, shop sustainably, shop plastic free!

St Ives Tennis Club:
New courts for all ages The £100,000 court regeneration which will see St Ives Tennis Club become the first in Cornwall to have an artificial clay playing surface is due to be completed in September. It has taken longer than envisaged, with coronavirus-associated problems delaying the arrival of the Advantage RedCourt carpet and sand infill from Holland, but members are excited that the project will soon be finished. The scheme – financed jointly by the tennis club and Sport England’s Community Asset Fund – also includes a Junior Red kids’ area at one of Britain’s most scenic tennis venues, overlooking Porthminster Beach. The Advantage RedCourt surface, favoured by many leading coaches for developing young players, will provide the town with a ground-breaking sporting facility which will enable the club to encourage local youngsters to take up the game.

encourage local kids, and we are exploring ways to attract more of them to take part in our junior coaching programme.” The project has been driven by first team captain James Brown, who said: “We have done a great amount of research to provide St Ives with the best possible courts. For a small club, our teams have been punching above their weight in the Cornwall Tennis Leagues in recent years, and now we will have the playing surface to match the ambitions of the club.” The club had to overcome serious logistical challenges, as the only vehicular access is down Primrose Hill and under two height-restricted railway bridges. James said: “We are extremely grateful to Cornwall Council and Great Western Railway for enabling us to use the station car park as a base to store the court-surfacing materials which have to be transferred to the site using small dumper trucks.”

Club chairman, Chris Martin, said: “We’re really excited about our new courts, which will be available for use by both the local community and visitors to St Ives, as well as hopefully attracting new members to our club. We are very keen to

St Ives Farmers’ Market: A chat with Scott Hall of Cornish Chillies What led you to decide to grow chillies? I’ve always loved them. A chili is a wonderful fruit – it’s not just about heat, but about flavour, and my passion is to bring the wonderful world of chillies to a wider market. I worked for Cornwall Council for 16 years, most recently as a senior manager in adult services. I’m proud that I was able to make a difference to people’s lives, but it was time to do something else, and have a new adventure. I wanted to grow something in the beautiful Cornish countryside – I’m not a horticulturalist, but I do know about chilli plants. I started a chilli farm at Summercourt with a friend three years ago. We began with a small polytunnel, and did a test run with about 100 plants, and it grew from there. I now run the business with my wife Susan, and we have 2,500 plants of 50 varieties. Can you tell us about some of these varieties? Apricot Habanero is bred to be nearly heatless: it has a mild, apricot flavour and goes well with salads. Chocolate Habanero doesn’t taste of chocolate! It has a smoky taste, and is great with chilli con carne and other Mexican dishes. Aji Limon – which means ‘lemon drop’ – is a citrus chilli, good with chicken and fish. Carolina Reaper is the hottest chilli in the world, but it has a fantastically fruity flavour.
Chillies are often described as a superfood – what makes them so super? The health benefits are huge. They have anti-cancer properties – a lot of research has been done on that – they help kick-start metabolism, lower cholesterol, and protect against heart disease. Visit cornishchillies.ltd.uk
How has the business developed? We work with some of the top chefs in Cornwall, and send chillies to restaurants and sauce-makers. We go to the farmers’ markets here in St Ives and in Truro; we like to show the range and variety of what you can do with chillies. We also do a lot of our sales online – plants, bags of chillies, and sauces – we’re now making some really interesting sauces, and we’ll have chilli jams coming out soon. We’ll also be selling packets of chilli seeds. The main time for harvesting chillies is from May to December – but orders are coming in all the time, so we’re harvesting all the time. Picking is hard work, and we now employ people on a seasonal basis when it’s really busy.

St Ives Archive: A tale of two chapels and a cemetery Barnoon Cemetery, overlooking Porthmeor Beach, must have one of the most picturesque and peaceful settings in the whole country. It is wonderful that the two chapels set in the centre have recently been beautifully renovated. Until a few years ago, they were used as a storage place for Tate St Ives, but with the gallery’s new extension, they were no longer required and fell into disrepair. The chapels, built in 1857, are mirror images of one another, each having a single bell in a small bellcote. They were later joined in the centre by a room, which was used for performing post-mortems, and which still holds a mortuary slab. The reason for the two chapels was that the Methodists did not wish to use the same building for funerals as members of the Church of England! Cyril Noall, in his Book of St Ives, states: “The first interment in the new Barnoon Cemetery took place on March 1 1857 in the section reserved for Dissenters, the church portion being consecrated by the Bishop of Exeter on May 13.”
The headstone for two members of the crew of the SS Alba

The names of everyone buried there – including infants and stillbirths – are listed on a database created by St Ives Archive volunteers from the original burial registers. The Archive also has recent photographs taken of all the graves that are still standing, along with maps of their locations. Sadly, some of the oldest graves are no longer in existence. The artist and mariner Alfred Wallis is buried at Barnoon, and his grave is covered with tiles made by the potter Bernard Leach. There is also a corner of the cemetery set aside for the Hain family graves, Sir Edward Hain being a great benefactor to the town. Many of the graves are of seamen, not all from St Ives. One memorial commemorates two of the five members of the crew of the SS Alba, who died when the coal ship ran aground off the Island in January 1938. There are also graves for lifeboatmen who gave their lives going to the assistance of others in distress, notably the seven who died in 1939 off Godrevy. Most of the crew were related to each other, and it was after that disaster that a rule was made that only one member from a family should go out on a lifeboat at any one time.

William Carbines, Stephen Curnow, and Joseph Nicholls. However, not all the victims of the tragedy are buried at Barnoon, as some of the bodies were never recovered.
Commonwealth War Graves mem orial for Aircraftswoman 2nd Class, Mary Gyles Andrews, who died 4th February 1942, age 22.
There are some 13 Commonwealth War Graves located in the upper section of the cemetery, including, surprisingly, those of three women: Mary Gyles Andrews, who was in the WAFF, Leading Wren Mary Ellen Maddern, and Susan Pearce, a Private in the ATS. Several St Ives and Carbis Bay men lost their lives when the Titanic sank in the Atlantic on 15th April, 1912, including William J Berriman,
On a lighter note, in the St Ives Times and Echo of September 1959, Cyril Noall gives an account of Old John, the sexton at Barnoon. He put in many years’ service but, unfortunately became ‘addicted to the bottle’. On one embarrassing occasion, when three burials were due to take place on the same day, it was discovered that he had only dug two graves, whereupon he told the mourners to ‘come again tomorrow’! On another occasion he was found to be too drunk to stand and ring the bell. He was eventually dismissed, but continued to be paid 5s.0d. a week to keep the paths tidy. Here at St Ives Archive, we are always delighted to help locate family graves at Barnoon Cemetery, as well as assisting with general enquiries relating to the St Ives area. However, due to Covid-19 social distancing restrictions, please phone or email us to make an appointment. Jan Harris and Janet Axten

Yoga: Time to adjust Yoga classes at St Ives Library had been running for ten years when they came to an abrupt halt at the start of the lockdown in March. Class teacher Annie Nicol turned her attention to a new project – a booklet called Adjust, which she put together with her partner Nick Bentley. Adjust uses the beautiful photographs of Gavan Goulder, and is designed to help people help each other at a time when they have been unable to experience hands-on bodywork and adjustment through yoga classes, massage, acupuncture, or reflexology. Annie says: “In the booklet I outline some traditional yoga poses, and then give some simple instructions in the ways another person in your household or ‘bubble’ can help develop and improve the pose. Once you are supported, you are more able to release tension and experience the pose differently.
“Touch is a powerful, primitive sense which can impart calmness and help to soothe. Combined with yoga, which develops your internal body intelligence, we can possess a powerful tool with which to support each other.” Annie’s Iyengar yoga classes have now resumed, with a limited number of people each time on a ‘booked in’ basis. To find out more, or to buy a copy of Adjust for £7, email annie_nicol@hotmail.com.

Leach Pottery: Centenary limited edition
Lead Potter Roelof Uys has created a limited edition range to mark the centenary of the Leach Pottery. Twelve items of functional and beautiful tableware have been created, with each design limited to only 100 pieces. Launching the range were 100 cups or ‘yunomi’, each of which are unique and collectible, and are stamped with the Leach 100 commemorative seal. Over the coming months, Roelof will continue to make batches of 100 limited edition items, made up of a variety of functional pieces, including bowls and plates. With its Japanese origins, the yunomi embodies the initial collaboration between Bernard Leach and Shoji Hamada when the pottery was founded in 1920. At that time, the two craftsmen forged new and innovative connections across countries and traditions, broke fresh ground, and repositioned the importance of pottery in our culture. A century later, their vision is still going strong, and the values and passion the two men brought to the art form remain at the heart of the Leach Pottery today. The yunomi is a tactile and highly individual creation, traditionally used for daily tea drinking in Japan. Typically cylindrical and without a handle, they are cradled between the hands to savour the warmth and aroma of the tea. In the West, the yunomi is now used as a drinking vessel for anything from water to wine – yet it still embodies its original function as a piece of pottery that is used, and loved, every day.
Roelof said: “The reason I decided to make yunomi for the first batch of the 2020 limited edition range is because they were the first ever examples of the Leach and Hamada tradition I encountered almost 30 years ago. It was at an arts festival in South Africa that I picked up this odd shaped mug without a handle. It was smaller than your average mug and glazed with a white greyish glaze that broke orange on the lip and edges of minimal incised decorative markings. It had a roughly cut foot and looked as if it had been subjected to hellfire in the kiln. “The carefree simplicity of this odd little cup was its most attractive quality. The potter who made it went on to explain the history behind it and how it became a staple in the repertoire of makers in the West who worked in the Leach Hamada tradition. He then gave it to me saying that ‘they don’t really sell because people prefer cups with handles’.” He added: “So, in a way, that chance encounter with a yunomi was the start of a journey that led me to St Ives and eventually to the Leach Pottery. I don’t believe in fate or destiny. What brought me here was that spirit of generosity and kinship that potters share. It’s hard to explain why these humble little cups are so revered by makers and collectors alike. Perhaps it is because they are little works of art that are fairly inexpensive, each one a unique commentary on the secrets of beauty and function.” More details at leachpottery.com.

September Festival: See you next year! September in St Ives usually means Festival time – but sadly, the town’s annual 15-day extravaganza of music and arts became one of the many events nationwide to fall victim to the coronavirus pandemic. While festivals all over the country were being cancelled or postponed, the St Ives organising committee held off as long as possible, before bowing to the inevitable in June and calling off for this year. They had lined up an exciting array of Guildhall nights, featuring the likes of the Steve Harley Acoustic Band; multi award-winning folk music stars Martin and Eliza Carthy, and Martin Simpson; the Alistair McGowan Piano Show; Fascinating Aida; the Pasadena Roof Orchestra; and exciting Penzance-based blugrass group Flats and Sharps, plus evenings with the Rev Richard Coles and cricket commentary box icon Henry Blofeld. But ultimately, there were too many outstanding uncertainties and few signs that social-distancing regulations would allow a safe or financially viable festival to take place – a situation that still persists.

Undoubtedly, on the second Saturday in September, many people will be reflecting on the opening day of last year’s festival, which kicked off with St Ives’ own ukelele band The Dancing Fleas performing on the harbourside, and ended with Scottish folk legend Dougie MacLean packing out the Guildhall. Happy days!

There are still issues to be resolved surrounding the pandemic before the festival can take shape and come back bigger and better, but a number of the performers booked for this year – along with festival patrons Show of Hands, who brought the curtain down on the final Guildhall night in 2019 – have already expressed a desire to appear at the next St Ives September Festival. In the meantime, let’s open the 2019 festival photo album and remember those 15 fabulous September days.

Barnoon Workshop: A new venture for changing times Barnoon Arts is a gallery and art materials supply shop now open at Harbour Galleries, on the Wharf. It is a new venture for Barnoon Workshop, which runs practical art sessions, exhibitions, and events from its base overlooking Porthmeor Beach. Artists Zoe Eaton and Peter Giles, who launched Barnoon Workshop five years ago, say they were forced to rethink their business structure after social distancing rules meant they were unable to hold indoor art classes. “At this point, a rare opportunity to take a unit at Harbour Galleries came up,” says Zoe. “This wonderful central location has given us a platform to showcase fresh, contemporary, and affordable artwork and abstract drawings, alongside a range of art materials and colouring books, including Colour St Ives.” Harbour Galleries, which look out onto the Wharf, were established in the 1970s and are home to a variety of independent galleries, including Shoreline Photography, Desiree Hope Glass, Made By Caroline Jewellery, Blue Harbour, and St Ives Gallery, which has been there for 40 years.
on the website. The sessions offer a chance to try everything from calligraphy to beach craft – transforming pebbles and shells into coasters and wall hangings – and from informal drawing sessions to painting in the style of renowned naïve artist Alfred Wallis. There are also classes in resin jewellery, contemporary decoupage, collage, and natural soap making. For more details, and to book, visit barnoonworkshop.co.uk. Barnoon Arts is at Unit 6 Harbour Galleries, on The Wharf. It is open on Mondays to Saturdays between 10am and 5pm, or by appointment.

Zoe and Peter are continuing to offer outdoor drawing and watercolour painting classes, which can be booked through the Barnoon Workshop website until the end of October.

Recipe: Apple and Blackberry Crumble I spend more time on Facebook than I’m sure is healthy, but now and again it pays dividends. Between ‘dog walks that went wrong’ and a conspiracy theory that Covid has been manufactured by mask manufacturers, comes a post from St Ives Community Orchard. “Lots of windfall apples under the trees at the moment, which everybody is welcome to collect. Prefer that you take these rather than pick them off the trees. The orchard has a complete mix of sweet, cooking and cider apples, they all edible though and all taste good in an apple crumble. We’ve been clearing around the trees so that the fallen apples are more visible.”
them, by spitting or urinating on them. However, other versions of this tale give 11th October as the day when the Devil is out and about among the blackberry bushes, which gives you another 11 days to gather these delicious fruits. This crumble should serve about six (or four hungry) people. Ingredients: 225g flour 75g butter 75g sugar 900g apples, peeled and sliced (or cubed, up to you) 75g blackberries Ground cinnamon (a pinch)
I didn’t need asking twice. I like apples from a fruit bowl, but the best are surely the ones that have been baked, releasing their natural sugars, and bubbling away in an oven. For some the classic tarte tatin will appeal, but for me, it has to be crumble every time. Or crimble crumble, as Jackie on Friday Night Dinner would have it. No, I don’t know why. Answers on a postcard. This recipe features blackberries, because, well, it’s a classic late summer, early autumn combination. Blackberries are abundant throughout September, of course – but according to folklore, you shouldn’t pick them after Michelmas, which falls on the 29th day of the month, as that’s the day the Devil gets into
24
Method: Pre-heat your over to Gas mark 4, 180 degrees C. Peel and slice (or cube) your apples and place them in a good-size baking dish. Add the sugar and cinnamon and give it all a good stir. Either place your blackberries on top, or mix them in, too. Now, make the crumble. Put on the radio or some music while you do this. In a mixing bowl, rub together the flour, butter and sugar. If you want to add a bit more sugar, do, but bear in mind the apples will release sweetness as they cook. When you have a nice crumb consistency, spread it evenly across the apples and blackberries and place in the oven for 30-40 minutes (check for brownness on top after half an hour. Serve with hot custard and enjoy!

Book Review
by Alice Harandon, manager of St Ives Bookseller The Wild Silence – Raynor Winn £14.99 Signed copies available Together on the wild coastal path, revitalised by nature, Raynor and Moth discovered that anything is possible. Now, life beyond The Salt Path awaits, and they come back to four walls. But the sense of home is illusive and returning to normality is proving difficult – until an incredible gesture by someone who reads their story changes everything. A chance to breathe life back into a beautiful farmhouse nestled deep in the Cornish hills, rewilding the land and returning nature to its hedgerows, becomes their saving grace and their new path to follow. English Pastoral: An Inheritance – James Rebanks £20 James Rebanks was taught by his grandfather to work the land the old way. Their family farm in the Lake District hills was part of an ancient agricultural landscape – and yet, by the time James inherited the farm, that landscape had profoundly changed. Here the author of the beloved The Shepherd’s Life returns with a stirring history of family, loss, and the land over three generations on a Lake District farm. The Lost Spells – Jackie Morris and Robert Macfarlane £14.99 (published in October) Kindred in spirit to The Lost Words, but fresh
26
in its form, The Lost Spells is a pocketsized treasure that introduces a beautiful new set of natural spell-poems and artwork by beloved creative duo Robert Macfarlane and Jackie Morris.
Troy – Stephen Fry £20 (published in October) The stage is set for the oldest and greatest story ever told, where monstrous passions meet the highest ideals and the lowest cunning. In Troy, you will find heroism and hatred, love and loss, revenge and regret, desire and despair. It is these human passions, written bloodily in the sands of a distant shore, that still speak to us today. What We’ll Build – Oliver Jeffers £14.99 (published in October) Signed copies available “I’ll build your future and you’ll build mine. We’ll build a watch to keep our time.” A father and daughter set about laying the foundations for their life together. Using their own special tools, they get to work: building memories to cherish, a home to keep them safe, and love to keep them warm.

The Little War Cat – Hiba Noor Khan £12.99 Inspired by a true story, this is a moving tale of hope and conflict, written by first-time author Hiba Noor Khan, with beautiful illustrations by Laura Chamberlain. When a little grey cat is caught up in the bangs and crashes of the humans in boots, the city of Aleppo which she knew so well changes into one that’s harder to recognise. But an unlikely friend shows her that kindness is still there when you look for it, and soon the little grey cat knows exactly what to do to made a difference herself.

A year in St Ives My St Ives Photobook is a new publication from local photographer and friend of St Ives Local, John Chard. It follows a paperback collection of photos, which has featured on his market stall for some time, and builds on the popularity of his daily videos of life in St Ives on Facebook (well worth a watch!). “It’s a year in St Ives,” says John of the new volume. “From January right through to Christmas and New Year’s Eve, with the addition of some images from the sea and one or two old black and white images from yesteryear.” Find out more at john-chard-images.co.uk

Trevena Cross Nurseries: Spring into autumn After enduring a very strange spring, Trevena Cross and the Garden Kitchen Café invited visitors to enjoy a comfortable ‘new normal’ through the summer, and now the centre is geared up for a smooth transition into the autumn. Now we’ve reached the official end of the summer holiday season, excitement is building for the best planting time of the year. Often considered the season for the true gardener, autumn is the time when perfect planting conditions are usually met, with autumn showers moistening the still warm summer soil, and giving the root system of plants time to establish before a dormant winter and revival in spring. It’s time for gardeners to think ahead. Decisions regarding next year’s magnificent
B s
More than 90% of the huge cross-section of plants available at Trevena Cross are grown on site in the nursery, just minutes up the lane from where the garden centre is situated. Trevena Cross knows more than most about growing pretty much everything, so if you would like any advice about autumn planting, you know who to turn to: the friendly, knowledgeable team are always on hand to help. Many of us have spent more time in the garden this year than any year previously, and Trevena Cross hopes that the time and investment people have made in their outside spaces continues to be valued and appreciated even as freedom is restored in our lives.
daffodil display or tulip show must be made quickly if such a spectacle is a garden necessity. Cornish spring-flowering narcissi bulbs are a great choice for fabulous drifts of colour. As well as spring-flowering bulbs and onion and garlic sets, fabulous packs of home-grown pansies, violas and cyclamen, ornamental trees, fruit trees, soft fruit bushes, and robust hedging plants are all excellent buys for the garden at this time of year, when you have the flexibility to plant just about anything in the ground, as well as the year-round option of a pot.
Trevena Cross owner, Graham Jeffery, says: “So many people have come to cherish and value their outside spaces during these strange times – people that perhaps never really took much notice of them before. Our hope is that these people have also come to enjoy the process of improving their gardens and to love spending time in them. Gardening is unquestionably good for both physical and mental health, and we hope as things get back to ‘normal’, and peoples’ lives become full and busy again, that they don’t lose sight of their garden’s worth.” Trevena Cross looks forward to welcoming visitors for a safe visit this autumn.

Garden Stories A key Cornish crop
Among the fruit trees at St Ives Community Orchard is a Kea plum – a rare Cornish variety which for many years could be found only in a tidal creek off the River Fal. There are around 25 acres of apple and plum trees growing in and around Coombe, a small village in the parish of Kea, which is part of the Tregothnan estate. When the first cottages were built on the shores of the creek, more than 200 years ago, residents incorporated some of the trees into their gardens. The distinctive dark plums, similar to damsons, were found to be perfect for jam-making, and for generations, residents have sold the fruit from their garden gates. It is likely that plums were first brought to Coombe by Portuguese traders three centuries ago; they carried a supply of the vitamin C-rich fruit on their boats to help combat scurvy. “We think they were hybridised by the Boscawen family – who have lived at Tregothnan for 700 years – and the result was what we now know as Kea plums,” says Jonathon Jones, managing director of Tregothnan’s trading department. “I’m pretty confident that they were bred for this microclimate: this is a deep-sea creek which benefits from mild maritime air, but without strong sea breezes.”
30
Coombe is just three miles south of Truro – but until the road into the village was built in 1924, boats offered the only access. When tripper boats started coming in the 19th century, they had to disembark their passengers into dinghies when the tide was high. People came to see the blossom in the spring, and to buy the plums in the summer. Growing, harvesting, and canning was carried out by villagers on a co-operative basis until after the second world war. Recent years have seen the restoration of some of the more neglected orchards at Coombe, and the launch of Tregothnan Kea plum jam, available from the estate’s online shop. “Through the internet, we can reach people who are interested in niche products like Kea plums,” says Jonathon. “I feel more confident now about the future of the orchards than I ever have.” Kea plum trees thrive in well-drained soil, in full sun or partial shade, and they are now being grown in places way beyond the shores of Coombe Creek – including St Ives Community Orchard.

Out and About
Travel: Tips to help you have a safe trip by Jo and Paul Mooney of Stunning Escapes
No-one can say the world of travel isn’t interesting in 2020! It’s been wonderful to see travel return, although with a different feel. As we write this, we’re watching another set of travellers attempt to come home before quarantine comes into effect. We made the decision not to send any of our clients abroad this summer, out of concern for their health and wellbeing. We’re booked to travel in November – we’d hoped to do so earlier, but one of our children has been shielding, so we’re taking a cautious approach. Spain was a popular destination when travel first opened up, although this was unfortunately short lived, as quarantine was soon introduced for travellers returning from the country. This was particularly frustrating for people visiting the Canary Islands, as the level of Covid-19 has been very low there. Greece emerged early on as ‘go to’ destination, and the photos we received from colleagues out there make it look irresistible! The feedback we’ve had from people who have travelled abroad has been incredibly positive. The experience is certainly different, but those who have embraced the changes have enjoyed quieter resorts and a warm welcome. Certain countries have done everything they can to reassure travellers, and we’ll certainly be helping our clients feel excited to travel again. We advise you to treat this as an opportunity to go somewhere new! If you’re due to travel soon, we want to reassure you that you’ll still be able to have a great trip – but we have a few tips to help you:
Check, check and check again the paperwork you need for your destination. Some people who booked online have found their holidays ruined when they were denied boarding, due to not providing the correct information. Set up alerts on your phone for travel advice with the destination you are travelling to. Follow advice from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office website, and the embassy of your destination. Check your airline’s requirements. What kind of face coverings are acceptable, and how often will you need to change them? Your travel agent can help you with things like this, but if you’re flying solo, ensure you check your airline’s website. Understand your accommodation’s check-in procedures. Many providers are asking you to do this before you arrive, to minimise touch points. Find out if your destination requires Covid-19 tests. Check what type is needed, and how you must present your results. We recommend travelling with a sanitiser pack and a plentiful supply of masks, as well as a spare portable battery pack for your phone – so you can keep up to date – and an empty reusable water bottle and plenty of snacks, as not all airport cafés are open. If you are ready to travel, take professional advice, and embrace the changes. We all deserve to experience the joy of travel after such a difficult time. Next time, we’ll share with you the plans for our Galapagos trip with our sons – we’ve had a ball planning it together in lockdown! Thank you to those of you who have reached out to us – we love talking travelling with you. Sending you all our best wishes, and safe travels! Paul and Jo x
Ensure you give up-to-date contact details to your holiday provider. Changes to flights and procedures are often made at short notice.
