Hello, how are you all?

Unbelievably, only a couple of days before writing this I was sitting on Bournemouth beach and swimming in the sea in the middle of November!! Not only is that a rst, but I was actually ordering Christmas presents under a blue sky in 18c degrees heat, very weird! How ever, this morning back in Brinkworth with what must be the coldest start to the day so far this year; even a touch of frost and the temperature gauge at 3c degrees, my thoughts were -now that’s more like it!

Despite the unseasonal weather there are nevertheless the usual festive activities to organise and enjoy. With carols around the Christmas tree at the Brinkworth church, (not sure if you will need your sleigh or sun cream!) followed later in the month with a Christingle service and Great Big Nativity.

is edition of Outlook is our usual two months Dec/Jan copy, but by way of a rem inder the Outlook magazine will now con tinue throughout 2023 as a bi-monthly issues. Please keep sending in your reports and articles of events and activities in the area along with any photos of thing’s that might be of interest to our readers.

Wishing you all the very best for Christ mas and the New Year

Vicar’s Article

“I’m sorry that you have to share your birthday with Jesus” is a line from one of this year’s TV Christmas adverts, as if that’s a big problem. ousands of people named Carol, Noel or Holly, along with Dido and Justin Trudeau have this every year.

I know what they mean, in terms of perhaps the birthday getting a bit lost, or the presents being combined (what’s wrong with a single bigger present?) but 1 in 365 of us has to deal with that and will have become accustomed to it. I’m sure that families manage to make the di erenti ation—our friends mark it with an additional half-birthday for their Dec 28th daughter when the weather is much more conducive to a decent celebration.

I know that Jesus doesn’t mind having to share his birthday with you— it’s such a fundamental point in the year when the exact thing we are marking is one of the most signi cant dates in human history, when God entered this world as a human to experience life through our eyes. Jesus wants to share his birthday with you and he wants to share in EVERY day of your life, he wants you to welcome him into your life and for you to live life alongside him.

Why not make that decision this Christmas?

Wishing you happiness and joy this Christmas and throughout the coming year, Steve.

Rev Steve Wilkinson Rector, the Woodbridge Group of Churches

Carrots

Carrots are very easy to grow, but very hard to grow perfectly, especially in lovely Brinkworth clay soils.

Carrots prefer a ne, loose, well-drained, sandy soil, with not too much in the way of fertiliser. Both stones (and lumps of clay!) and too much fertiliser will cause forking. ey may still be OK to eat, and on the upside, you may have an entry for the “most unusual looking vegetable” category at the village show.

Clay soils also lead to problems with the carrot rotting in the ground in Autumn, if you overwater or it is a wet summer (a er last year’s drought I’m guessing a summer of del uge is due).

So, for carrots destined for the kitchen, I suggest a raised bed with a sandy, welldrained soil. Compost from last year’s tomatoes, etc is ideal, especially with a bit of sand mixed in.

I sew seeds mid to late spring (April to June) with some successional sewing. e ear lier you sew, the more sporadic the germination is. I tend to sew 2-3 seeds a hand’s width apart. You also need to make sure the soil does not get too dry during germina tion.

Once established, other than weeding and thinning, the only other thing to be aware of is carrot root y. ese are minuscule critters that cause black marks and holes in the carrot and can render them inedible. ere are two main defences - netting and carrot y resistant varieties (e.g. Flyaway F1). I’m not a fan of the taste of Flyaway F1, so I go for the netting option. e netting needs to be very ne - strong garden eece will work, although purpose-made carrot y netting (e.g. Enviromesh) is stronger. You need to make sure there are no gaps – carrot root ies are very persistent. Apparently, carrot root ies stay close to the ground so you only need to surround your carrots with a “wall” of netting a couple of feet high. I’m not so sure, the ones in my garden seem more adventur ous, so I now fully net car rots.

You need to be careful when thinning carrots, the smell of freshly uprooted carrots will lure in all the carrot root ies, so be gentle and try and keep as much of the netting in place as possible.

Carrots come in many shapes, colours and sizes. e commons shapes are long and pointed, short and pointy (Chantenay style), stump rooted, round, and everything in between! Despite being most commonly orange in colour, purple, white, yellow and pink varieties exist. Purple is thought to be the original colour, with orange and white varieties becoming available in the 16th century.

I grow a variety called “Sweet Candle”, which is the carrot of choice for the “stump-rooted” category for vegetable shows. As well as being ideal for veg etable shows, it has a good avour (very, erm…..carroty!), and not much core even when grown quite large. It will easily grow to about 30cms in length.

For vegetable shows you will need to put in a lot of e ort. e carrot categories attract a lot of entries, o en of a very high standard. For the national shows, perfect matching carrots with no aws or pests are required. To grow these requires constructing a sand bed, making cores in the sand and lling with nely sieved compost. Perhaps the topic for another article at a later date.

Happy growing Robin (https://www.brinkworthgarden.co.uk/ - an archive of my BD outlook articles and local show photos)

A WHIMSICAL LOOK BACK

As it is Christmas I felt a somewhat lighter article might be in order rather than my usual ramblings, so a self analysis of part of my early life may hope fully provide some light entertainment.

Many of us have been in that state of mind when we ponder “if only I'd known 'that' forty/ y years ago my life would have been so di erent and/or better”, a theory debateable in itself.

I have o en thought about the missed opportunities of not listening to those more mature than I and on looking back my teenage years at Malmesbury Grammar School spring to mind, my judgement at the time being somewhat clouded by the fact that all my “mates” went to Bremilham and I wanted to be with them – and before you ask, no I don't know how I managed to pass the eleven plus either!

It was my rst term (a far cry from the comfort of Dauntsey Earl Danby's school, where the only real monster was an occassional visit from the dreaded “school dentist”) and my initiation into the eccentricities of our English teacher, Mr. Webb, a seemingly giant of a man and very impossing gure, who appeared very stern in the extreme. I soon discovered that at Grammar School pupils were pupils and teachers were “godlike”.

Mr. Webb's methods were fairly simple but extremely e ective and can be highlighted in the following recollection, anyone having di erent memories so be it, it was sixty years ago!.

In his class you raised your hand (seated and in silence), the obligatory way to gain attention and when he was ready he would say “stand up boy and state your name, one sheep is very like all other sheep and I should not be ex pected to remember all of them”. Having spluttered out your surname, Chris tian names not being used for “boys” in the 1950's/60's, he would then say “now boy I need you to give very serious thought about the words you are

16 bdutlookmagazine@gmail.com
Dec2022_Jan23.qxp_Outllook2019 21/11/2022 10:33 Page 16

about to utter, for should I nd them unimportant, irrelevant or worse, un worthy, I shall feel obliged to administer a sharp, swi clip around your ear”. At which point only the very brave or foolhardy would remain standing and most, if not all, would immediately sit back down and attempt to make them selves as inconspicuous as possible.

I am still not sure to this day if Mr. Webb was a brilliantly clever tutor or if his teachings were more luck than judgement. What I do know is that some time later my own interpretation was this – rstly you have to learn that you are no more important than anyone else, whatever your role/position in life may be and no matter what your ego might tell you. Secondly, always think carefully before you speak making sure you have all the facts and being aware of all the implications and e ects your words may have on others and equally important, yourself!

GUIDE DOGS UK/BLIND CHILDREN

Emily Davison (27) was born with a congenital condition that means she has se vere sight loss. A er having a breakdown at an eye clinic appointment and voicing all of her concerns, the liason o cer suggested she apply for a guide dog. Her rst dog, Unity, came into her life just as Emily was due to start university. Emily says “I became a di erent person and all the dark thoughts I had about my future just washed away, Unity was intuitive, caring and incredibly intelligent and my university years were some of the happiest of my life”.

Unity was on hand when Emily got her rst job, both appeared on television sev eral times working on disability campaigns, raised money for Guide Dogs and Emily credits Unity with giving her the con dence to start her blog 'Fashion eyesta'.

Unity retired in 2021 and the last thing Emily said to her was “you brought me to life, thank you for everything, I'll never forget you”. Emily now has her second dog, Rosie who has a charming tendency to o er her paw in greeting and like Unity before her, loves being Emily's guide dog. Rosie has also been trained to go on escalo tors giving Emily even more freedom going around Lon don. Emily's blog is fashioneyesta.com (or on instagram – fashioneyesta2012).

Re ecting on 2022, Yvonne and I feel, despite the ongoing problems of the Country, not to mention the World, we have still managed to achieve a vast amount by raising awareness and funds for our Charity, Guide Dogs UK.

On the nancial side of course we could achieve very little without the absolutely wonderful support of many people, especially Lesley with her two beautiful dogs, Abbey and Zelda, our group chair – Janet with Acorn and Ulani, Joyce with her

20 bdoutlookmagazine@gmail.com Dec2022_Jan23.qxp_Outllook2019 21/11/2022 10:33 Page 20

wonderful dog, Bronze, Pat and Malcolm for spending hours on our Tombola stand at lots of local events and several other members of our local group.

Equally important are those friends and supporters who continue to help us with lots of lovely generous donations, in particular Pam and Les from Crudwell, Jen from Minety, Jan from Somerford, Clare from Sherston, Ray and Sue from Mal mesbury/Lyneham and many more who Yvonne has managed to engage with on and o the “internet”.

It is also important to remember all those businesses supporting us by having counter top collection boxes on their premises – we currently have about eighty in Malmesbury, Chippenham, Corsham, Royal Wootton Bassett and surrounding Villages. Special mention to the Coop, Gloucester road, Barley Mow Dental, and Primary Care Centre all in Malmesbury, Tesco in Emery Gate Chippenham and Sainsbury in Royal Wootton Bassett who all have Life sized collecting “dogs” on site.

A special mention to Tracey and family at Dauntsey Farm Shop, who to date have raised over £5,000 and named a beautiful puppy – Oreo and are currently on the way to raising even more to name another life-changing little bundle of joy.

Also special thanks to the Volunteer Inn in Great Somerford who together with their regulars have raised several hundred pounds in the past couple of years and the Restaurant at the Grange Garden Centre, Wroughton who do likewise.

At the end of the day, even with the e orts of all the above and more, we could achieve very little without the wonderful support of the general public who (hopefully) have as much fun as we do on our Tombolas and stalls throughout the year.

Our nal photo for 2022 shows Misha, a six month old beautiful labrador being “puppy raised” locally. She was part of a litter of ten puppies, eight of which were dogs so she only had one sister. It is hoped that Misha will become part of the breeding program and raise more life changing puppies.

ank you one and all for your continued interest and support of our Charity, stay safe and well, have a wonderful festive period and we sincerely hope that 2023 will start to see some improvement on events here and abroad.

Love from Yvonne and Steve

YOU CAN BEAT ONLINE SHOPPING!

When Christmas comes, there’s lots to do Feeding cows and milking too. No time and I’ve forgot the wife again Bought no present – what a pain!

She’d love some frilly things to wear But where to get them? I despair She knows how to online shop But I avoid it like the chop.

Christmas day – the shops are shut I haven’t really bought a lot. I’m going to give it all a miss Give my wife a sloppy kiss And say the words she loves to hear “I love you dear” – like every year!

Nowadays farm diversi cation is all the thing, but you need to take care!

MONSIEUR LE COQ

e farmer patted his wife’s blond head “Cariad, with these milk prices, we’re short of bread. Diversify – now there’s all the money e tourists will ock for your home-made honey, And home-bread with vegetables too You’re always looking for something to do. If you keep orphan lambs, there’ll be meat from the farm. It’s extra work? It’ll do you no harm.”

Two years on a diversion was made Which cut the farm from the tourist trade. “Never mind, Cariad, you tried very hard And it was hard for me to keep a clean tidy yard. We’ll go into horses and keep cobs on the side ere’s a demand for those for yuppies to ride.” His wife groaned loudly – she couldn’t ride is husband of hers was a pain in the side. But she lost the battle (he tossed the coin) And learning to ride gave her pains in the groin.

Five years on and they’d ten Welsh cobs ey were out on the hillside, ten far o blobs. “We’re quids in we catch them, they’re worth a bomb” Said the breathless Welsh husband without much aplomb.

Poems

“I’ve cracked it now, it’s going to be snails ere’s a new market opening for farming in Wales. If it goes well, you can have a new frock

Winter

Clouded with snow

The cold winds blow, And shrill on leafless bough The robin with its burning breast Alone sings now.

The rayless sun, Day's journey done, Sheds its last ebbing light

On fields in leagues of beauty spread Unearthly white.

Thick draws the dark, And spark by spark, The frost-fires kindle, and soon Over that sea of frozen foam Floats the white moon.

VANS AND VOLUNTEERS ARE BEING SOUGHT FOR TREE-MENDOUS MISSION FOR JULIA’S HOUSE CHILDREN’S HOSPICE

Julia’s House is seeking a team of “elves with wheels” to help with the local charity’s big Christ mas tree collection in January.

e Wiltshire children’s hospice will be collecting and recycling real Christmas trees from homes across the county in the New Year. And the charity needs lots of vans and helping hands to make the tree-mendous mission possible.

Claudia Hickin, Julia’s House Fundraiser, said, “Last year we collected around 650 Christmas trees and raised an incredible £9,250 in total across both Wiltshire and Dorset to support our care for seriously ill children and their families. is January we hope to collect even more, and we’d love to hear from any local businesses and individuals with vans who might be able to help us and help their local community at the same time.”

She added, “We’re essentially seeking a team of elves with wheels, who are happy to be helpers and volunteer a few hours of their time for us a er the Christmas season.”

e charity is looking for vans of all sizes to help for a minimum of three hours in Wiltshire across their three collection days, between Sunday 8th and Tuesday 10th January. Volunteers are also needed to li and load Christmas trees onto the vans.

Once collected from local homes, the trees will be taken to Old Potato Yard in Devizes and re cycled as chippings for use on local farms and community spaces.

is year’s Julia’s House Christmas tree collection in Wiltshire will take place in Devizes, Pewsey, Marlborough and other surrounding locations, with bookings opening on the charity’s website from Monday 12th December.

All funds raised from the Christmas tree collection will help the Wiltshire children’s hospice pro vide its lifeline of care for the most seriously ill children and their families in the local commu nity.

e promotion of this year’s Julia’s House Christmas tree collection is kindly sponsored by Rubi con People Partnership. Established in 1982 with a recruitment approach of a consultancy rather than an agency, Rubicon provides permanent recruitment and temporary sta ng solutions local to Dorset, Wiltshire and the surrounding areas.

If you would like to donate a van or volunteer your time, please get in touch with the Julia’s House team at treepickup@juliashouse.org or call 01380 562525.
