SS Great Britain Born at the time of the Industrial Revolution, Isambard Kingdom Brunel is by far the UK’s greatest engineer, most famous for building the Great Western Railway, and shaping the landscape of Great Britain as we know it today. Brunel’s influence is clear throughout Bristol, having designed the Clifton Suspension Bridge across the River Avon and also was appointed as chief engineer to work on the line linking London to Bristol. In 1837, Brunel was responsible for the design and construction of the Great Western, the first steamship to embark on transatlantic travel from Bristol to New York. The Great Steamship Company was established in 1838 and was the first iron steamship to cross the Atlantic, making more than 60 crossings within eight years. In 1843, Brunel designed a new steamship which would quickly overshadow the greatness of the Great Western. The SS Great Britain was launched as the world’s first ironhulled, screw propeller-driven, steam-powered passenger liner and is considered to be the first truly modern and revolutionary ship ever built. The ship was 332ft in length, more than 100ft longer than any ship previously built and with the main intention to provide luxury transportation 8 Visit www.bedminstereye.co.uk for passengers from Britain to New York.
However, due to financial difficulties and a navigational error, the ship only ran for three years. Later, in 1881, the Great Britain was used to carry immigrants to Australia until she was badly damaged in a storm, forcing her into retirement to the Falkland Islands, where she spent the next period of her life as a floating warehouse. Eventually, after years of service and mistreatment, The SS Great Britain was abandoned in Sparrow Cove, a bay near Port William in the Falkland Islands. She was left to decay for almost 30 years in Sparrow Cove, but was not forgotten, as a rescue mission was organised to return her to the UK and restore her to her previous glory. As the SS Great Britain arrived in Britain, crowds, including Prince Philip, gathered to welcome the ship back to her birthplace in Bristol where she was repaired and restored back to her former glory. Today, the SS Great Britain resides in The Brunel Institute in Bristol and is funded and supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and the Lloyd’s Register Foundation. The centre holds all kinds of events to inform you of the SS Great Britain’s rich and intriguing history. To find out more, visit: Follow twitter.com/bedminsterEye www.ssgreatbritain.org.

Windmill Hill City Farm Spring Festival Taking place from noon until 5 pm on Saturday 18 May, the Windmill Hill City Farm’s Spring Festival brings together a diverse and diverting range of activities and attractions including live music, food stalls, face-painting, cookery, storytelling, singing, and drumming workshops. Organiser Simone Dougall says: “Our Spring event is a community festival for the city’s people, with bands, musicians, market stalls, children’s workshops and everyone coming together from across Bristol to create a warm, community event at the beginning of the summer.” With this aim in mind, the music stage at the Spring Festival will feature a stunning showcase of the city’s young talent to inspire local kids, teens and young people. New Generation Takeover in partnership with Bristol’s BIMM Music College (Brighton Institute of Modern Music) and Remix are running the music stage and promise to give us a real treat with great performances from young artists from each organisation. NGT are experienced young event organisers who have worked with various festivals such as Glastonbury, Shambala, Brisfest and the Greenman festival so it is a real privilege to have them at the WHCF Spring Festival.

Special visitors on the day include owls from Avon Owls, and HorseWorld will be providing a pair of donkeys who will no doubt enjoy a day out on the Farm! All this plus numerous stalls manned by local craftspeople, community organisations and interests. Last but not least there will be a wide range of food and drink on offer. The Farm’s own café will be providing some pop-up surprises and there will be outdoor cookery demos. A bar will be laid on by local event caterers Refresh West. The last word goes to Simone: “This year’s festival promises to be the best ever and will be a great day out for all the family. We are urging people to come down to the Spring Festival, especially those that haven’t ever been before. It promises to be a fantastic day out!” Tickets are available on the door: Adults: £5. Under 16s: FREE
Remix is part funded by the Foundation for Youth Music and aims to provide music making opportunities to 0-25 year olds, in particular those who have had limited access to such resources in the past. Jon Harper, Music Industry Outreach Manager / Lecturer at BIMM Bristol, said, “We are proud to be involved with Windmill Hill City Farm Spring Festival and the New Generation Takeover helping to promote community-focused events that showcase upcoming new music from our beautiful city.” In addition to this musical treat there is a plethora of other activities on offer. Keen gardeners will be excited to hear that the Farm is taking part in the Chelsea Fringe – the Hearty Gardeners and volunteers, along with resident artist Lisa Yardley, will be working on weird and wonderful ideas for entries. For children, the Farm’s Forest School will be teaching them great outdoor skills such as woodworking, and Visit will www.bedminstereye.co.uk there be face-painting, henna tattoos, hair wraps, 11

Garden of Paradise
How to keep your garden a low maintenance one Gardening is one of those things that take a lot of care and attention, and if you are otherwise occupied with taking care of the kids or busy in work, then when you get that hour to yourself, you want to spend it in blissful peace rather than pulling up those weeds. The key to keeping your garden looking like a paradise but remaining low maintenance is to use plants that need hardly any attention and bloom throughout the year. If you want some easy-to-care-for flowers to brighten up your garden then planting some bulbs will ensure that your garden will be bright and cheerful each spring. Flowers like Daffodils, Tulips and Snowdrops are perfect fuss-free flowers as they come into flower at the beginning of February and last up until May; while other flowers, like Primroses, will flower in May and last through the summer months.
FOR A TASTE OF SUMMER Try Our Low Maintenance Mediterranean Pots
Leave The Pruning, Planting And Flower Beds To Us
Herb gardens are easy to maintain, too. Herbs like Lavender and Rosemary flourish throughout the year and will fill your garden with the perfumed scents of the South of France. Lavender and Rosemary also require very little watering as they are both plants that survive well in hot countries. Herbs like Mint or Parsley will require a bit more tending too, as they will need pruning if we have had a lot of wet weather. If you’re looking for a greener fuss-free garden then bear in mind that plants that need a minimum amount of pruning and attention. Plants like conifers, palm trees and ferns have their own distinctive shape, so you can leave them to it. If you want a piece of greenery that flowers a little though, shrubs like Mexican Orange Blossom and Honeysuckle are shrubs that will give your garden seasonal flowering and perfumed scents that you can enjoy, especially on a summer’s evening, when you’re having your BBQ.

Mowing your lawn once every week is a long and arduous task. Having a lawn is something you do have to keep up if you want your garden to look tidy at all times. Reducing your lawn space is a good idea to keep the mowing to a minimum, so think about paving some of your garden with brickwork detailing or stylish paving slabs. Likewise, using garden furniture or structures as a focal point in your garden will also minimise the amount of garden you have to tend to. Any garden will need at least a little bit of maintaining, but hopefully, if you invest in some Honeysuckle plants and garden furniture, then you will be one step closer 14 to gaining your fuss-free garden of paradise.

TURN YOUR ENGINE OFF If you come to a junction or another stop and you can see that you’re going to be stopped there for a while, then it may be a good idea to turn your engine off while it’s safe. Keeping your engine running could run the risk of your car overheating and wasting fuel.
