Frankincense is a sweet smelling gum resin derived from certain Boswellia trees which , at the time of Christ, grew in Arabia, India, and Ethiopia. Tradition says that it was presented to the Christ Child by Balthasar, the black king from Ethiopia or Saba. The frankincense trade was at its height during the days of the Roman Empire . At that time this resin was considered as valua ble as gems or precious metals. The Romans burne d frankincense on their altars and at cremations.

There are only 6 nesting pairs of Hen Harriers in the country so it is notable when we see them on the forest and reassuring that they are still here inspite of pressure from such a large gathering earlier in the day.

Some Ideas to keep the kids occupied in the holidays! Home made paper chains are always a winner You need nothing more than paper, scissors and glue (decorations like glitter to add to the paper as you like) Hand-made Christmas cards for all the members of their family (or others) Looking after a “bird table” (anything flat and raised will do) and make them responsible for looking after the birds by topping it up regularly with bread crusts etc. Home-made Christmas Tree Decorations one option is to make Christmas biscuits, but before baking them pierce them well with a skewer, then after they are cooked & decorated, thread through ribbon (or even wool/thread) and hang on the Christmas trees. A “Christmas Race” in the garden This will get them outside for fresh air and warm them up! Make it the best out of 10/20 (enough to keep them going a while). Younger siblings get a head start. Give them some big card-board boxes and old sheets and suggest they make a fabulous camp in their bedroom. They’ll love it. They can make an obstacle course can be set up either in or out of doors. Chairs, old tyres, stools, and cardboard boxes are just a few things that can be used. Make and show the children the pattern of the course so that they know what they have to crawl over, under, or through, then give them free reign to create (also gets them exercising). Suggestion: wear waterproofs if outside in wintertime… December 2010 • Ashdown Forest Living

Add warm water gradually until the mixture forms a dough, optional: put the dough into sections and add food colouring for different colours.

Dry the beads on baking paper. Make Fun Play Dough Ingredients: 2 parts flour, 1 part salt, 1 part water, food colouring. Mix and knead until it is doughy and the colour is mixed in well.

Bolebroke Castle
Henry VIII Hunting Lodge Built in 1480 & located just north of Hartfield, Bolebroke Castle is the earliest brickbuilt building in Sussex. It is known that a castle existed on this site since AngloSaxon times and indeed a Roman road passes nearby. The architectural style of the building is unmistakably Tudor. Although called a castle, when it was built the need for a “fortified” house had passed. However the stone mullioned windows on the ground floor were placed high above ground level so that no one could look into the interior rooms from outside. Henry VIII used Bolebroke when he went hunting in the nearby Ashdown Forest for wild boar and venison. And in one of history’s most famous love stories, Anny Boleyn, who lived at Hever Castle just five miles away, was courted by King Henry from Bolebroke. Indeed, it is where Anne Boleyn’s aunt once resided. The castle has been loved and cared for through the centuries with a wealth of history. It was owned by the famous Sackvilles – the Earls & Dukes of Dorset – who, with many strong ties to this area also built nearby Sackville College in East Grinstead.
It boosts the second largest fireplace in England - the largest being at Hampton Court. And from the hall rises one of the finest Elizabethan solid oak staircases still in existence. The solid oak treads, some 9 inches thick, rise through four landings right to the roof. It seems inconceivable that in Victorian times the staircase was painted stone colour! The whole of the interior of the castle is oak-framed and massive beams support exposed oak ceiling beams. Many original beams remain and it’s interesting to note that some of these were probably used in sailing ships before being used in the construction of the house. Due to widespread felling at one time it was forbidden to use oak trees for the construction of buildings. The house has a commanding view over two large lakes to surrounding woodland and the Ashdown Forest can be viewed from the top floor. It is believed the reason a settlement has always existed at Bolebroke since early times is because there was a good water supply. An old well has been found in the inner courtyard but 500 yards away is a natural spring. Amazingly nature seems to have followed suit with a 9 foot diameter oak tree as old as the house itself, just a few yards from the north corner of the castle. It still comes into leaf each year. Bolebroke Castle is in private ownership and is not normally open to the public. It is,

Gingerbread Xmas Lights Ingredients
I don’t know about you, but I just love Christmas. I love the memories it brings, the rituals we all have, the sharing of time with each other, and of course the foods we look forward to making. Thinking about what to share with you, I felt that you probably had more mince pie recipes than you know what to do with, it is probably too late for Christmas cake and your Christmas lunch is more than likely already planned in your mind. This recipe is a bit of fun, children love them. Gingerbread is such a festive food, so making them look different gives them a little lift, especially if you use red and green.

Preheat the oven to 180 C, Gas Mark 4, 350 F Put bicarbonate of soda, ginger and sifted flour into a bowl. Place butter and sugar in a saucepan and heat, keep stirring until the sugar has disappeared. Add the condensed milk and stir until it has become one with the mixture.. Pour the butter, sugar and condensed milk mixture into the bowl and spoon them together, then with your hands bind the mixture together until it forms a dough. This feels odd as it is warm and feels crumbly, just go with it and work quickly with the warm dough. On a floured surface roll out the dough to a thickness of 0.5cm. Have your parchment paper ready on the baking sheet. Cut out the biscuit rounds and place onto baking sheet. Now for the hole in the middle – you might want to experiment in size depending on the effect you want, use a knife or small round cutter to make a hole in the centre. Put the boiled sweets into the hole. Put them into the oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until golden brown. Let them cool and decorate as you wish.
Now they are ready to brighten your table, or put in a box and give as a present. Note: Gingerbread biscuits will go soft in a few days if not kept in an airtight container. Happy christmas to you all Kate & Rick Stuff2eat www.stuff2eat.co.uk

Testimonial: “It is with pleasure that I recommend Paul and Allzones Roofing Services. We encountered a problem at our residence over the last winter during the large snowfall with an ingress of water in two dormer window areas. We requested quotes from two well known roofing companies and were told we require a completely new roof at an exorbitant sum of money. Thank goodness we had someone refer us to Paul. He identified the problem as being poorly fitted felt and loose tiles which were pushed up by the snowfall & freezing weather. He and his men attended immediately and corrected the situation at a fraction of the cost quoted by the previous two companies It is truly wonderful to meet a tradesman who is not only extremely honest but very proud of the work he performs. I am quite confident that any who employs this company will be very pleased with the final result.” Yours truly, Richard Reuss Independent Business Consultant Forest Row
