Your Garden In September

Summer is coming to an end with the month of September generally being a cooler month than August. The days are becoming noticeably shorter, but the weather is, however usually warm and calm, giving us the ideal conditions to plant trees and shrubs. It’s a great time of the year to appreciate those long lasting plants that flower into autumn and if you have a fruit or vegetable patch you’ll be busy reaping the rewards of a hopefully successful harvest. Don’t forget - if you look forward to a great spring display of colour then now is the time to buy and plant your bulbs. Whatever you’re doing in your garden this month, be sure to make the most of the remaining warmth while you can.

Divide herbaceous perennials September is a good month to lift and divide summer-flowering herbaceous perennials. Most perennials need to be divided every three to five years as the plant can become too big for the border and become congested. Dividing will invigorate the plant and help to improve flowering and overall shape next year. Gently dig out the plant you want to divide, being careful not to damage the roots. Use a garden fork to separate the plant into two then shake of any excess soil and replant in your chosen spot as soon as possible. 4

Take Perennial cuttings Take cuttings of perennials such as fuchsia, salvia, verbena, penstemon and chrysanthemum. It’s a great way to increase the number of plants you have for your summer display and there’s something really satisfying about seeing plants grow that you’ve created yourself. Find some strong growth that hasn’t flowered this year and cut a 5 - 10 cm stem just below a leaf joint. Strip the leaves from the lower stem and leave one or two pairs at the top. Dip the end in hormone rooting powder and plant in pots of compost mixed with grit. Leave the pots somewhere bright and warm until rooted then re-pot into larger containers. Over winter in the greenhouse or conservatory. Plant spring flowering bulbs Bulbs make a fine display planted in containers and borders, especially Tulips, Snowdrops and Daffodils. They are one of the easiest and most rewarding plants to grow and are great for adding colour to spring borders.

Tulips come in a huge variety of colours and bloom at a time of year when there is very little colour in the garden. snowdrops, appearing before the tulips, are one of the earliest flowering plants in the garden. When the snowdrops begin to fade, the daffodil begins to appear, with its cheery shades of yellow brightening the borders.

Looking good this month Hebe ‘Bowles’s Variety’ Why should you plant them? Hebe ‘Bowles’s Variety’ is an evergreen, rounded shrub with ovate, glossy green leaves that make a very attractive plant for borders and containers. Easy to care for, this Hebe is drought tolerant and flowers prolifically in summer. How should you plant them ? The variety of Hebe flowers best when planted in full sun. the addition of a good quality compost when planting is essential to prevent the roots becoming too dry. After flowering, sheer back dead flower stems to keep the plant looking full.

The Iron island opening evening

On the 19th August we had the honour to attend the Iron Island launch event at The SS Great Britain.

What can I say! Wow! What an experience, really felt like I was a part of the crew in the 1800's as we sat under the hull of the beautiful SS Great Britain.

A must see over the coming weeks!

The immersive sounds and light that was projected over the ship’s hull was spectacular and the captivating voice of Saili Katebe made it a cinematic experience for the senses.

The cinematic event is on from the 23rd to the 19th September. Visit https://www. ssgreatbritain.org/ for tickets and more information.

Movies previews This summer, Oscar® winner Jordan Peele unleashes a fresh take on the bloodchilling urban legend that your friend’s older sibling probably told you about at a sleepover: Candyman. Rising filmmaker Nia DaCosta (Little Woods) directs this contemporary incarnation of the cult classic.

Candyman 2021

John O’Groats, Scotland: An elderly man, Tom (Spall), whose wife has just passed away uses only local buses on a nostalgic trip to carry her ashes all the way across the UK to Land’s End, where they originally met, using his free bus pass. Unbeknownst to Tom, his journey begins to capture the imagination of the local people that he comes across and, ultimately, becomes a nationwide story.

The Last Bus IIn his acclaimed debut as a filmmaker, Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson presents a powerful and transporting documentary— part music film, part historical record created around an epic event that celebrated Black history, culture and fashion. Over the course of six weeks in the summer of 1969, just one hundred miles south of Woodstock, The Harlem Cultural Festival was filmed in Mount Morris Park (now Marcus Garvey Park). The footage was never seen and largely f orgotten–until now. SUMMER OF SOUL shines a light on the importance of history to our spiritual well-being and stands as a testament to the healing power of music during times of unrest, both past and present.

SUMMER OF SOUL

Impressionist Darren Farley welcomed over 18,000 fans to Bristol City’s first match of the season

Impersonating football greats such as Steven Gerrard and Wayne Rooney, via a digivan at Ashton Gate, MansionBet’s brand ambassador, Darren Farley, quizzed and pranked passers-by as they entered the stadium after months of lockdown. Robins fans had the chance to win a range of over 40 prizes, from signed football shirts to hospitality and match tickets. To celebrate the return of 18,739 football fans to Ashton Gate stadium, football impressionist Darren Farley attended Bristol City’s opening match, via a digivan, on Saturday 7 August. Two-way cameras allowed football fans to interact with Darren, and vice versa, as the well-known impressionist quizzed, pranked and chatted with them by livestream. Over 40 prizes were up for grabs, from signed shirts, footballs, hospitality and match tickets to Bristol City store gift vouchers, as fans were challenged by Darren. Fans reactions to chatting with Darren and winning prizes can be seen here.

Dana Bocker, Head of Integrated Marketing at Mansion, said: “It was great to have our brand ambassador, Darren Farley, welcome the Robins fans back to Ashton Gate for the first match of the season. We wanted to create a unique and fun experience for the fans, and we’re delighted that we were able to engage with so many of them as we celebrated being back at the stadium together. We’re looking forward to being at Ashton Gate for more exciting activations this season.”

Weston Air Festival to return next summer After a two-year absence due to the Covid pandemic, North Somerset Council is delighted to announce the return of Weston Air Festival to Weston-super-Mare seafront next summer. The two-day event, which will also include Armed Forces Day celebrations as well as dazzling air displays, will take place over the weekend of Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 June. In 2019 when the Air Festival last took place the event featured displays from the Red Arrows and the Battle of Britain Memorial Display amongst others and attracted an estimated 200,000 people over the two days. "There is no doubt that before the pandemic the Air Festival had become one of the South West region’s flagship events and of huge importance to the local economy," said Cllr Mark Canniford, executive member for placemaking and economy at North Somerset Council. 16

I am thrilled that we are able to bring such a brilliant spectacle back to Weston seafront and beach lawns again next year for both local and national audiences to enjoy." The 2022 Air Festival will again be managed on the council's behalf by Richmond Event Management (REM). Ben Hardy, managing director at REM, said: “We were originally contracted in 2018 to deliver Weston Air Festival and develop the offer as part of the council’s placemaking and destination marketing plans. We deliver largescale, major public events for local authorities across the UK and, whilst we enjoy every single one of them, it’s really nice for us to deliver something on our home turf!”

First images released of new train station at Brabazon

YTL Developments and Network Rail have unveiled the first computer-generated images of the planned train station at Brabazon, which is scheduled to be submitted for planning this month. Brabazon will be a new neighbourhood for Bristol, centred around the YTL Arena Bristol. The station at Brabazon – currently known as Filton North – will connect the new neighbourhood and YTL Arena Bristol to Bristol Temple Meads in less than 15 minutes once it is completed as part of MetroWest Phase 2. Network Rail will be submitting the detailed planning application for the station in August. Subject to approval, Network Rail are expected to begin construction in 2022, with the station then scheduled to be operational in 2023. YTL Arena Bristol is scheduled to open its doors for the first time in 2024. YTL Developments is contributing more than £1m to the cost of the railway station, which forms part of an integrated transport plan for Brabazon. The new rail station will connect with the MetroBus as it passes through Brabazon, allowing journeys across North Bristol by public transport. The station will also link to the network of walking routes and cycle paths planned for the neighbourhood. 18

Details of the station come just a few weeks after YTL Developments appointed consultants to develop designs for Brabazon Park, which will be 200m West of the new station and directly in front of YTL Arena Bristol. The new park, which is expected to open to the public in 2024, is set to be the largest new urban public park in the South West for 50 years. The first two, three and four bedroom homes and one and two bedroom apartments at Brabazon – in a phase known as The Hangar District – are also under construction approximately 300m to the north of the new station. The very first residents moved in in May this year. Seb Loyn, director at YTL Developments, said: “Investing in public transport and active travel is a key part of the vision to ensure Brabazon becomes a thriving new neighbourhood for Bristol. “With our first homes now selling fast, the new rail station due to be operational by 2023 and then Brabazon Park and the YTL Arena Bristol due to open in 2024, progress is well underway to deliver on that vision.”

Can community speed watch volunteers really give drivers a speeding ticket?

This week we had a call from a reader who received a letter in the post dated June 2021 regarding a speeding accusation, he asked us if we could do some research about CSWV and are they enforceable by law. Well here we go. Community speed watch volunteers carry out a role in helping the fight against dangerous drivers who speed in residential areas, but what powers do they have? Here’s all you need to know.

What is community speed watch? This is a scheme that allows volunteers to monitor the speed of vehicles passing through their community.

So what’s the point, if tickets can’t be issued? While penalties can’t be issued, officers will act if speed watch volunteers repeatedly report a vehicle to the cops. Each force is different, but, typically, police will act after two reports of a vehicle speeding In such a case the owner of the vehicle will be sent an official letter reminding them of the law. If three letters are sent, the force will carry out further investigation.

What if a driver is caught driving at excessive speed?

How do community speed watch volunteers monitor the speed of drivers?

Most of the community speed watch activity will take place in residential areas, with speed limits of 30-40mph, so driving at excessive speed is a serious offence. If a vehicle is reported for such an ‘offence’ the local police force is likely to take the case further with a ‘strongly-worded’ letter. Prosecution will not be possible from the speed watch team’s recording.

What happens to the details then?

Will that mean motorists who drive excessively fast will get away with it? No. Many forces say they will actively ‘target’ repeat offenders for ‘enforcement’. Make sure you’re up to date with the new speeding fines that came into force April 2017

Volunteers use hand-held devices that tell them the speed at which drivers are travelling through their ‘patch’. When a driver is going a set amount above the speed limit – typically around 10% – the vehicle’s registration, make, model and colour are recorded. A spreadsheet of the offenders’ details is then passed to the local police force, who are likely to also add them to a national database.

Will the driver get a ticket?

These schemes are predominantly about education, meaning no speeding tickets will be issued. Additionally, most schemes use equipment that is not of the correct specification, so issuing a penalty would not be possible on a legal footing. 20

When and where can the speed watch volunteers operate?

The volunteers must operate in a location that has been approved by the police. They must also only operate during daylight hours.

New community group for all ages and backgrounds launching in Bristol New community group for all ages and backgrounds launching in Bristol Leading housing association Sovereign has given £1,010 funding to support the launch of a new community inclusion group in Bristol. Safe Space, created by Sovereign’s Youth Panel member Jess, launches at Easton Community Centre on Tuesday 7 September, from 2.30pm-4.30pm and is open to people of all ages and backgrounds living in the area. Together, the group will organise fun activities, including a range of arts and crafts, board games, "Taskmaster"-type challenges adapted from the TV show, cooking and baking. Jess said: “According to the Office for National Statistics, levels of loneliness in Great Britain have increased, with 7.2% of people surveyed between October 2020 and February 2021 saying they felt lonely “often” or “always”. 22

“I realised there are a lot of people out there who have been really isolated, especially following the pandemic. Safe Space is somewhere anyone can come along to, to find friendly faces and a bit of community compassion. “The community centre is fully accessible and people can come for as little as ten minutes or as long as the whole session.” Daisy Mummery, Sovereign’s Community Development Officer, added: “It's been great working with Jess to develop her idea to start up Safe Space. “I'm excited to see where Safe Space goes in the future. Jess is a huge asset to Sovereign’s youth panel and the whole community.”

Women really take an effort to try to look nice, so complimenting them when they least expect it could make their heart flutter. Do not be ashamed of giving compliments to your partner. People talk publicly about the things that they really value. She will love you more for that.
