Welcome to the second issue of the Konect magazine for Queensferry, Kirkliston and Wincburgh. Thank you for the great feedback on the first issue last month, as a result there are more clubs and activities included this time. Please do keep the information coming in!
You may have seen high vis motorbikes marked “blood” weaving their way through traffic or zipping along the motorway. They are volunteer riders for the charity Blood Bikes Scotland, which was set up by two Queensferry residents 12 years ago. Now covering a huge area of central Scotland and run entirely by volunteers from within our local communities, they provide the NHS with an incredibly valuable support service. See pages 8-9 and please consider a wee donation. It’s not been much of a summer weatherwise, but gardeners are irrepressible in their optimism, it’s one thing I love about gardening! In the garden project column, Dougal talks about planning now for spring bulb displays. Even if you don’t have a garden, planting a pot of bulbs to enjoy on your doorstep or windowsill will bring joy now and in the future!
I hope you find the magazine useful this month. Thank you for supporting local businesses and organisations.

Of the five senses, for me, the most important when wine ‘tasting’ is smell! I nose a glass of wine, looking for an aromatic thread to pull. I pull on the thread and start to think about the smells and where I have experienced it before. The scent causes me to recall memories that signpost what the aroma might be. I can then share that so the people I’m tasting with can relate to it.
Occasionally, when I don’t have a glass of wine in my hand, it works the other way around! Sometimes the aromas in my environment me remind me of a particular wine!
This month I experienced a Gavi di Gavi day. I took our dog Holly for a walk. The day was warm and the sun had heated up the earth. It was a perfect day and the air smelled clean and fresh. We walked beside a wheat fields and wild honeysuckle was growing nearby. The combined aromas of honeysuckle blossom, dried grass, baked earth, fresh green plants, and an offshore breeze triggered memories of a glass of wine! The smells on my walk held all the amazing aroma’s I'd write about in a tasting note to describe Gavi di Gavi.
Gavi di Gavi is an Italian white wine made using the Cortese grape. It is grown in the gentle hills of Piedmont in Northwest Italy. The wine is unoaked and when I smell it, it reminds me of a summer’s day. Serve it slightly chilled (not too cold!) and try smelling it. Does it remind you of a summer’s day?

When Blood Bikes Scotland were asked to help with the urgent transport of medication from Birmingham to Dundee, they were part of a critical relay operation to save a life with a ground-breaking treatment.
The cargo was an extraordinary medication consisting of donated human faeces, a life-saving treatment called a faecal microbiota transplant (FMT) which is used to tackle really serious cases of C-difficile. The assignment illustrates very well much of Blood Bikes Scotland’s worksometimes unglamorous, but absolutely essential.
Blood Bikes Scotland (BBS) is a voluntary organisation which supports the NHS by transporting, free of charge, blood and other test samples from wards to laboratories. They also deliver medication to patients’ homes, and support GPs, District Nurses, care homes and community hospitals with transport of small, urgent items. It was set up in 2012 by Queensferry residents Ron Spalding and Brian Fraser. Starting out with just one motorcycle and a desire to contribute to the community, they’ve seen the charity grow over the past 12 years into a significant organisation making a huge difference to lives every day. Ron is Vice-President and a Trustee. “It has given me personally a great amount of pleasure and satisfaction, just to know that I am able to give
something back to the NHS,” say Ron. “We all love riding bikes no matter the weather and are all proud to be able to help where we can. It’s what we do.”
Behind every journey made on the bikes, there’s a patient – someone is waiting for a critical test result, medication, equipment or urgent medical notes. And the many thousands of journeys not only save the NHS a significant amount of money, but mean the fast transport network is in place to help save lives, as in the case of the FMT relay. The bikes can get through traffic quickly –especially useful during rush hours – so they can get pathology samples to labs quickly, or urgent medication to patients who need it. Other items needing transport include surgical instruments and, believe it or not, physical files of patient notes or x-rays urgently needed by medics.
While speed is of the essence for much of their work, the biggest benefit is cost avoidance for the NHS. By being on-call to provide transport free of charge, BBS saves the NHS a significant amount of money that would otherwise be spent on their own vehicles and drivers, external courier services and taxis.
Blood Bikes Scotland cover the Lothians, Forth Valley, Borders, Fife and Tayside, where they have service level agreements in place with each of the NHS Boards. Sister organisations support NHS Boards elsewhere in Scotland and the UK, and they all work together in relays when necessary to cover long distances.
Whilst not blue-light vehicles, the incredible value of the service provided by blood bikes is formally recognised in that, like the emergency services, their vehicles are exempt from road tax.
Riders are out in all weather conditions. A fleet of 15 motorcycles is supplemented by five cars to transport larger equipment (although they have been known to strap a walking frame to the back of a motorcycle on one occasion when it was urgently needed!) The motorcycles
are modified to allow for larger loads to be carried, with panniers and a tray on most of them. The Nationwide Association of Blood Bikes (NABB) have recently negotiated with Yamaha to build custom, manufacturer-approved bikes so, like police bikes, they come from the factory ready to ride. The custom bikes are based on the Yamaha Tracer 9GT, and Blood Bikes Scotland will be progressively expanding their use. The fleet also includes one Zero electric motorbike suitable for short fast runs.
A team of 246 volunteer riders and controllers works 70 operational shifts per week across the five regions. BBS delivers its service 7 days a week, including public holidays, and in 2023/24 they received 9001 requests for transport and saved the NHS around £300,000 – money that can be used directly for frontline services instead.
Volunteer riders, controllers and everyone involved provides the service completely free of charge. It’s a fundamental principle of BBS Scotland since its inception that no-one takes a salary.

The monthly overhead for the charity of running the bikes 365 days a year (tyres, insurance, fuel, maintenance and repairs) is around £6000*. The service is entirely dependent on donations from the public, grant bodies and corporate sponsors; they take nothing from the NHS or Scottish Government, so they are grateful for every single donation. You can raise money for Blood Bikes Scotland while shopping online, completely free of charge to you – see the sidebox for details. They were once called on to take a teddy bear to a distraught little girl in the Royal Edinburgh Hospital who had left it behind and was unable to settle. Teddy promptly arrived by motorcycle (which was on its way anyway with other jobs for the hospital) to the great relief of the girl, her parents and the nurses. There are some things whose value you just can’t measure.
Direct donations are also welcome from the public and businesses. See ways to donate at www.bloodbikesscotland.co.uk/donate
VOLUNTEER!
Volunteers are always welcome to join the current team of 246 volunteers covering the area including the Lothians, from Tayside and Fife to the Borders and as far west as Forth Valley. Riders need an advanced riding qualification.
Non-riding volunteers are also welcome; every shift needs a Controller, the point of contact between the NHS and the riders. Please contact BBS at the details below.
For more information see: www.bloodbikesscotland.co.uk Blood Bikes Scotland is a charity registered in Scotland, No. SC049314.
Throughout our lives we have so many different versions of friendship, from those early schooldays when getting picked for the netball team was the most important thing in our lives, to the friend who let us cry on their shoulder when things went wrong with those first romantic dreams.
When we are young it seems so much easier to make friends, the way we begin relationships and what we take from them can be so much simpler. Sometimes just sharing an experience was enough to build a relationship at that stage. It can be really difficult to make friends as grownups because we move in different settings once we leave education.
That’s why many adult friendships start in the workplace or in local community groups such as mother and toddler groups or parents groups at our children’s school.
However, just like the friendships we make in school, all of these have a time limited element and often don’t continue when those activities cease. Suddenly, we can find ourselves trying to connect with new friends without having those things in common. This can feel really daunting as the natural paths to friendship we always relied on seem to dry up.
This doesn’t mean that we are doomed to a lonely life with no-one for company; it’s more of an invitation to make new friends who fit the life we are living now. It’s liberating to remember that we don’t need to make friends with everyone and if we remember that, we can make space for the right people to come into our lives.

IT’S TIME TO PLAN FOR YOUR SPRING DISPLAYS AGAIN!
September is the best month to choose spring flowering bulbs for your pots and borders, although if we get an Indian summer you may choose to delay planting them until the summer displays have finished in October.
If you are going to plant some winter flowering pansies on top you should make sure you get them planted by the middle of October at the latest.
This pot has four different bulbs planted in it; they were planted in layers starting with the biggest bulbs at the bottom. It allows you to pack the pot with bulbs to give you this generous display next spring. Each bulb will find its way up between the bulbs above it!
The pink Hyacinth Pink Pearl is wonderfully fragrant, we planted it about halfway down
the pot then covered it with the peat-free Multipurpose with added John Innes Compost. Next in went the Tulip Pretty Princess, the tulip leaves are very dramatic before the flowers appear. Some more compost and then the white Narcissus Thalia. Finally, the little white Chionodoxa, we can only offer the blue one this autumn but you could use Ornithogalum White Trophy if you didn’t want to add blue to your creation.
Pop in some winter flowering pansies to delight you until the bulbs push through in the New Year and then water the pot well and leave it sitting outside.

I can’t believe we’re in mid-August already (as I write this anyway!) One of my favourite seasons of the year is already coming to a close. No, not Summer but seabird season.
It doesn’t feel like it was that long ago we were eagerly anticipating the return of the hardy birds and now they’re leaving for the winter.
I visited St Abb’s Head (AKA New Asgard for the Marvel fans) with friends to check out the seabird colonies found along the cliffs. They’ve got an increasing population of nesting Gannets, which is very exciting. Despite the impact Avian flu has had, the Bass Rock is now at capacity and the birds are spreading further afield to find new territories. Final breeding numbers for our biggest seabirds aren’t yet known but it does look like 2024 has been promising. One of the reasons Avian Flu was able to spread like it did is because of how tightly packed these nesting colonies can be. This picture shows that quite well, with the species mixed in together all squabbling for the best nesting spots, which are usually found nearer the top of cliffs.
It’s all a cycle though. As we say goodbye to our seabirds, we welcome another species and soon the same shoreline will be covered in Atlantic grey seals returning for pupping season. In 2023, there were 1818 seal pups born on the reserve. I wonder what 2024 will bring?

For many folk, curling is maybe something they only become aware of every four years during the Winter Olympics.
But it’s also a popular social sport at local level, with more than 10,000 people of all ages playing in clubs across Scotlandincluding Abercorn Curling Club, South Queensferry’s local club.
In 2023, the Club celebrated its 125th anniversary. An entry in the Linlithgowshire Gazette and Lothians Chronicle from 1897 records a meeting in Abercorn School, where it was agreed to form an official club and become affiliated to the Royal Caledonian Curling Club (the sport’s

governing body). The Earl & Countess of Hopetoun were appointed as patrons.
Originally the Club was for workers and tenants on the Hopetoun Estate, and they played on an outdoor pond at Parkhead on the Estate. Ordnance Survey maps from the 1850s & 1890s show two curling ponds on the estate that still exist today, albeit overgrown. So clearly curling was taking place before the Club was officially formed. Membership widened to include families from surrounding farms including West & Old Philipson, Gateside, Walton & Trinlaymire at Winchburgh.
The Club still has a historic curling stone saved from the time its members played outdoors. Apparently, in days gone by, it depended on your position within the estate as to the size of stone you curled with! It’s thought that due to its size, this particular stone was a Lady’s stone. Today, all curling stones are the same – and weigh between 17-20kg.
Warmer weather means outdoor curling is pretty much a thing of the

past, and nowadays the Club plays its games at Kinross Curling Rink, a 20 minute drive away, and membership stretches from Queensferry to Linlithgow and the area between. Some current members had parents and grandparents who were in the Club, while others are completely new to the sport.
The curling season runs from September to March and the Club welcomes
people of all ages and abilities - no experience is necessary. If you fancy having a go or finding out more, contact abercorncc@gmail.com or visit the Club’s Facebook page www.facebook.com/ Abercorncurlingclub or visit trycurling.com
You’ll receive a warm welcome on the ice!

French crime dramas are a huge green flag for me. How Europe handles courtroom crime is unlike any other.
So, saying The Goldman Case hooked me from the beginning would be an understatement. It is based on the true story of Pierre Goldman, a far-left militant who is sentenced to life in prison for four armed robberies, one of which led to the death of two women. He fully admits to committing three of the four robberies but pleads his innocence for the murder. The film focuses on the re-trial, and we see how the court proceedings unfold. As mentioned before the film is utterly gripping from the beginning. Every witness testimony or sudden outburst is enthralling. The performances are what make this film. Arthur Arari (who coincidentally co-wrote Anatomy of a Fall) is excellent as lawyer Georges Kiejman. Seeing him dissect witnesses while can be funny at times and is also truly haunting. Many scenes discuss the racism and prejudice prevalent at the time and especially in hindsight certain actions characters make still lurk in the back of my mind.
However, the true standout is Arieh Worthalter as Pierre Goldman. His performance is stellar and there are many moments where you can feel how charismatic he is. By the end of the film will be on his side.
The Goldman Case is a great film, while some moments are random. The courtroom drama itself is so compelling that by the end I was on the edge of my seat.
