Any time of the year was suitable for exploration but the depths of winter or the heights of summer held equal attractions. Many of the pits, ponds and lakes scattered around the open spaces were manmade. Some served to drain the land, others grew by accident but all had a certain magic. Two of my early memories feature two stretches of water in Childwall Valley and Calderstones Park. A big pond off Barnham Drive was used as a playground by local children. Father had also known it in the 1920s. An island stood in
the middle and some boys made a raft to get to their den. Hard winters saw the pond freeze. It was filled in long ago but you can still see an outline where the ground is boggy. An equally fascinating place to me was a group of ponds set among mounds of earth in Calderstones. There were sticklebacks and water beetles in the clear water – the beetles were easy to scoop up and examine. Later this area was landscaped with a bridge and pretty flower beds but it did not have the same sense of the unknown. Calderstones Park lake was created in 1933 by workers employed during the economic depression which saw many out of work. A much older lake

is in Greenbank Park – a big house once overlooked its calm waters when it was a private estate. A series of ponds called Forty Pits lay off Allerton Road, north of Booker Avenue. The pits filled up after marl – a clay-like rock – was excavated to fertilize crops. This was a popular beauty spot. Princes Park is pictured on an Edwardian postcard showing the area around the lake kept private for the exclusive use of local residents. The outer areas were for the general public. A gentleman strolls towards a bridge that once led to the island. Today the scene is very different with this part of the lake virtually dry and filled with trees and shrubs sprouting from the mud. A particular favourite of mine in re-

STRANGE TALES
ANNIE ON THE IVORIES by Anton Valdemart The organ music soared and cascaded around the little valley, sometimes solemn but more often manic in its gaiety. “Annie’s on the ivories again,” said Patience Pugh to her friend Constance as they walked through the village. “Let’s go and talk to her.” They entered the gospel hall, a simple tin tabernacle standing in an orchard. Annie Bromley was a stout, jolly woman whose musical skill was admired by the whole community. Her plump hands danced or hovered over the keys depending on what she was playing. Annie was admired for her inspired rendering of popular

She could have everyone tapping their feet or plunging into gloom, such was the emotional power of her expertise. “I need some fresh air,” she told her friends, easing herself out of the wooden seat, stepping down on to the slate floor. The three exchanged some pleasantries before Annie set off alone up the hill. “She’s a strange one,” said Patience as they watched her go. It was a hot day and Annie sat down on a boulder to catch her breath. The air wafting down from the higher slopes was intoxicating. She quenched her thirst in a crystal clear spring gushing from rocks and set off back into the village. Annie felt energised by the cool water, her thoughts raced – she felt inspired. The next day she was imbued
with an eerie power as she entered the gospel hall. Her playing took on even greater complexity and skill. A group of children walking past sponta-

The annual Women’s World Day of Prayer is being held Friday 7th March. C h u r c h e s To g e t h e r i n Mossley Hill are organising a service and it will be held at Our Lady of the Annunciation, Bishop Eton, at 1.30pm. It will finish at 2.30 and will be followed by refreshments. This year the service has been prepared by the Christian Women of Egypt and the theme is "Streams In the Desert". The service is open to all, not just to women. The service is always inspiring and we encourage all those who are able to attend to come along and join in fellowship and
prayer with others across the world. It will finish in time for those who need to collect children from school. Wo r l d D a y o f Prayer is a worldwide movement of Christian women of many traditions who come together to observe a common day of prayer each year, and who, in many countries, have a continuing relationship in prayer and service. Through World Day of Prayer, women affirm that prayer and action are inseparable and both have immeasurable influence in the world.

MotivationTurning your beliefs into more positive ones What I would like you to do is to write down all your beliefs that empower you, and all your beliefs that dis-empower you. Jot down as many as you can. Spend about 10 minutes doing this. Take a moment to review your beliefs and circle the 3 most empowering beliefs on your list. How do they empower you? How do they strengthen your life? Think about the positive effects they have on you. Strengthen your emotional insensitivity and sense of certainty that these beliefs are true, and real, so they can guide your future behaviours. Now look at your disempowering beliefs.

Leigh is a great addition to the clinic team and brings a wealth of experience.

Expert Chiropractic & Physiotherapy
the English Institute of Sport with the GB Taekwondo Squad, for the 4 years leading up to and including the London 2012 Olympic Games. However, treatment is not just for sporting individuals and athletes, everyone can expect to receive the same high level of treatment that is given the professional athletes Leigh treats. Leigh has a specialist interest in visceral treatment. Visceral treatment involves addressing movement and restriction dysfunction within the abdominal organs. This is assessed with specific palpation on the surface of the abdomen. These issues can often be associated with low back and pelvic pain.
Leigh has been working in professional sport for 6 years. He works full time for British Athletics (the performance arm of UK Athletics); prior to that he worked for

Leigh has many commitments with Athletics camps and competitions and therefore his clinical time will be limited to accommodate this. For more information or to book an appointment, call the clinic on 0151 4275000

Early Christians embraced the idea by dedicating the fourth Sunday in Lent to Mary the mother of Christ and, as time went by, the English extended the idea to include all mothers in what became known as “Mothering Sunday”. From the early 16th century, families celebrated with servants being allowed home to visit their mothers, and even a special cake baked to mark the day. An American

SOUTH HOPE FOR SOME DRY WEATHER by Jim Stanway

ALDER FC - HILLY TO THE RESCUE by Peter Harrison In common with all other amateur football teams, the incessant rain has seen very little football played this month. The second team
progressed in the John Gregson Cup, after a 4-2 victory against Bootle. Trailing 2-1 with ten minutes left on the clock, Hilly scored a rare goal to take the game into extra time. Dale Irvine,
Sam Parry and Dean Welsh netted the other important goals. The first team bowed out of cup action with a 4-2 defeat against league leaders Liver Academy. The game was finely bal-
anced at 2-2 with five minutes left, but two late strikes sealed the game. Regular marksman Antony Barnes and Boardy were the Alder scorers. The Veterans were also eliminated from the cup in a 4-1 defeat to Jawbone. Played at a blustery Buckley Hill venue, the wind-assisted second half proved vital as Kevin Addo scored the Alder consolation. Finally there is a charity event on Sunday March 2nd in aid of the Walton Neurology Unit. A charity bike ride is being held leaving the Alder Club at approximately 10.00 am, taking the bicycle route to Formby Cricket Club. There is a £10 entry with all proceeds going to the nominated charity. Arrangements have been made for all bikes to be transported back to the Alder Club. In the evening starting at 6.00 pm there is a function at the Alder Club with a disco and prize raffles - all are welcome. So come along have some fun and keep fit for a great cause.
The last month has seen South Liverpool FC go without any football as the winter monsoon has meant free Saturdays since early January. The weather forecasters are telling us that the worst is over now and we can expect some Saturday football once more! The first team will have their first game after the enforced winter break at Southport Trinity who play on an artificial surface in Skelmersdale which is helpful with the Liverpool County FA Challenge Cop semi-final against old rivals Old Xaverians due in early March. With the first division title now beyond the team after a succession of draws, and with Maghull continuing to win matches, the runnerup spot is still up for grabs so the last 12 league matches will not be entirely without interest! The reserves have also not played since the beginning of January but still have an outside chance of promotion. They are due to play most of their main rivals at home in the final 12 games and have only lost once at home all season. They will
also hope for some games before their own semi-final, in the league cup against league leaders Rainhill Town in mid-March.
The youth team have only played one game since November, albeit an 8-1 thrashing of Maghull, and have now started the
league cup competition, hoping to qualify for the semi-finals after playing Mallaby, West Kirby and Bootle on a home and away basis.
