We hade a great Christmas with my Mum and Dad here, having travelled from Hull in the North. Hayden had his first early Christmas, coming into our room at a wonderful 4:15am... Oh dear... He said something very funny just before Christmas, ”You know Mummy some people think that Santa is their PARENTS! I know it is definitely NOT you two… because you like…” and then he started snoring! With a wry smile I politely agreed that I liked my sleep… I guess we cannot travel the planet as we are too lazy! I am sure you have stories yourselves of similar comments. Please do send some in and we can publish them to make us all smile. There is a little joke about Santa inside… the ladies will find it funny, and the men may smile too! The Southbourne Link has had a very good year. Stephen and I would like to thank you for your support, especially that given to all of our advertisers. Many of our clients inside have also had a good year and this is very often down to the calls they get from you. A big “Thankyou” from the advertisers too! Again this month we have lots of ‘old’ and ‘new’ businesses. One new business is the chimney sweep - I like new categories. Please do give him or any of our advertisers a call and get them to help you in the house,, or go out and treat yourself to their services. It is a win win situation. They are here for you. Stephen and I wish you All the Very Best for 2012. Let’s make this a really good one! Warm Regards,
Debbie

Looking Backwards and Forwards A new month! A new year! – and as we begin the age-old sequence of months of the year again, we step into a name-tradition that goes back over two and a half thousand years! And the names are fascinating. Almost seven centuries before Christ, the very earliest Roman calendar had only ten months – and astonishingly they simply had a two-month namegap in the middle of winter. So to put things right, one of their ancient rulers, decided to add a couple of months – and he called them Januarius and Februarius. January, as we call it, was named after the old god of doors and beginnings. He had two faces: one looking forward and one looking backward. February, however, comes from a word meaning ‘purify’, because this was when the Romans practised religious rites of purification. However, even with these two new months, people still thought of the year beginning in March – and indeed we still do (almost) when we begin our financial year in April. The months were still chaotic even centuries later, so Julius Caesar decided to tidy everything up and made a superbly rational system with the days of each month going alternately 31 and 30, even including February. In this system, in leap years, February had just 29.
TSL January 2012 page 10
In Julius Caesar’s time, July was still called ‘Quintilis’ (the ‘fifth month’) and August was still called ‘Sextilis’ (the ‘sixth month’) – but such was Caesar’s reputation that ‘Quintilis’ was quickly re-named ‘Julius’ – which became our ‘July’. Alas, Caesar’s neat system was to last only a very short time – because when his successor Augustus Caesar came along, he was so jealous of Julius that he arrogantly re-named ‘Sextilis’ after himself! Worse still, he insisted that ‘August’ – his month – should have 31 days, to equal that of July. Predictably, this threw the whole year into chaos again, and we’ve lived with it ever since! Poor February was robbed of its full quota! In parts of northern Europe, untouched by Rome, the months had much more picturesque names. The old Saxons called January ‘Wulfmonath’ because this was when ravenous wolves would be likely to raid their villages. February was ‘Sprout-kale’, when cabbages would sprout. March was ‘Hlyd-monath’ because of its storms. April was ‘Eostur-monath’ after the goddess of fertility. May was ‘Thromilchi’, when cows could be milked three times a day. June was called ‘Litha’ (but nobody knows why!).
Monday, January 02, 2012 19:40 Black Magenta Yellow Cyan
Find us online at www.southbournelink.co.uk Then came ‘Maed-monath’ (mead month) or July, when meadows were flourishing. August was either ‘Weodmonath’ (weed month) or ‘Sceremonath’ (the month for shearing sheep). ‘Harvest-monath’ speaks for itself. ‘Winterfylleth’, or the full moon, was October. ‘Blod-monath’ is perhaps the most interesting name, as being Blood Month, when the cattle were slaughtered for winter food. And finally, December, the month of Christmas, was called ‘Heligh-monath’, or Holy Month. Personally, I much prefer these lovely old Saxon names, and only wish we could go back to them… but sadly,

we’re stuck with the Latin words and those bickering old Romans…. (Incidentally, 2012 is a ‘Leap Year’ with an ‘intercalary day’. It ‘leaps’ because any anniversary after that date misses or ‘leaps over’ a day of the week!) David Hilliam • • • • • • • •

JACK AND THE BEANSTALK THE BOURNEMOUTH PAVILION PANTOMIME This year UK Productions brought you ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’, as the Bournemouth Pavilion Pantomime. We were lucky enough to get to see a performance and also talk to those prize winners who won tickets and saw the show. We followed the hilarious tale of the ups and downs of young Jack Trott played by Debra Stevenson (The Impressions Show & Coronation Street). Along with the other cast members, one of the highlights we all noticed was the quality of the singing. Right from the start we were all in the panto spirit. Especially when Jack’s less than bright brother Silly Billy played by CBeebies star and now Bournemouth panto favourite Chris Jarvis came along. The Good Fairy, Kate Weston from Wave 105, gave a great showing for local talent (together with her magical wave!) and Jack’s long-suffering mother Dame Trott was played absolutely hilariously by Nick Wilton who is better known as Mr Lister from EastEnders. The villain of the piece was the evil giant’s nasty henchman Fleshcreep played by Brian Capron (Coronation Street’s bad boy Richard Hillman). No one had a problem in booing every time he appeared on stage!
TSL January 2012 page 26
Add all of that to the plentiful audience participation, including the rendition of “Moo-moo land” for the family cow, Daisy, that Jack had to rescue from the Giant, and a great time was had by all. According to our source at BH Live, tickets were bought in record numbers yet again, so let’s see what next year has to offer! Thank you to all those who took the effort to contact us with their comments.
