Hello to all Causeway readers.

As we approach the summer months, it’s natural for our thoughts to go to the outdoors, where we can take advantage of some much needed sun (hopefully!)

I have been soaking up the rays, tucked away in our very own ‘Secret Garden’ dealing with a vast array of pesky plants ready to get planting over the course of the coming weeks, months and years no doubt.

Just like Mary, Dickon and Colin I have been clearing weeds to enable the more usual garden finds to thrive. If you’d like to have a reminisce about more stories from your youth, let me to point you in the direction of our Favourite Children’s Tales section, which is an homage to the Scarecrow Trail planned at St Peter’s 16-17 June. And if gardening is your thing I love Paula Lett’s piece, Beware of Gardeners Bearing Gifts, which points out some of the plants which really should come with a health warning.

tenure ends this year. It is truly a team effort with everyone a vital cog in the well-run machine which brings your glossy issue of Causeway to your door 10 times a year. Put plainly, to continue to function Causeway needs to find a successor to John, who has done a sterling job and will be a great support and guide to the next incumbent.

Read more overleaf.

Not only do we need an Advertising Manager to function, we of course rely on our advertisers too.

Please try to support them when you can and do remember to say you saw them in Causeway so they know their investment in our magazine is worthwhile. Thank you.

We have a fundraising focus which includes Marie Curie and Martin House plus how a group from Thorp Arch are tackling the Olympic Cycle Route to help a cancer charity. Please take a look at the packed Village Diary of things to do in the area with fun for all the family in the next month and beyond.

Your Causeway Editor PLEASE NOTE: Causeway is published 10 times a year monthly, except January and August. Deadline is 14th of the month prior to publication. Causeway is prepared and distributed entirely by volunteers at the beginning of each month of publication.

If you are feeling up to a little bit of volunteering, then your favourite community magazine needs YOU! We are looking for an Advertising Manager from this coming autumn as John Clayton’s

Open to all Thorp Arch and Walton residents, a volunteer Advertising Manager is invited to join the team, to keep Causeway Magazine thriving into 2019! Could this be you?

Causeway Magazine truly is a team effort. To make this the professional periodical that it is takes a ‘village’ of volunteers and supporters. At its foundation is the funding we receive. This in large part comes from advertisers and once a year they are invited to continue (most do - thank you!) and a few additional organisations are sought to support this community initiative. This is co-ordinated by the Advertising Manager.

so it is mostly an annual exercise though we are lucky enough to get new advertisers throughout the year, which the Advertising Manager would liaise with.

John has done a great job, with the vast majority of advertisers staying with us year on year. He has put together a list of activities which he undertakes to give potential volunteers an idea of what is involved which we can talk through with you if you are interested. John will always be available to assist the new person as will the committee. Please don’t be shy as we are a small community and really need you to come forward. We would love to hear from you please via causeway.editor@gmail.com.

The role of Advertising Manager becomes free this year after the tenure of John Clayton comes to an end. It is perfect for someone who is a great organiser and good with people - and it really is a crucial part of keeping Causeway alive.

A big thank you to John Clayton and a big thank you to the next person to be part of this amazing team.

Please do contact causeway.editor@gmail.com to register your interest.

The main input needed is in the autumn, in time to get advertisers renewed or new ones in place by the beginning of the following year, collating artwork and then collecting payments. Advertisers book for a year 4

News from our Churches

Spring Fashion Show brings colourful night to St Peter’s

St Peter’s FUNdraiser!

Yet again Walton Village Church Council team staged another successful fashion show in St Peter’s Church.

After many weeks of planning, things are at last falling into place for this year's main fundraising event for St Peter's on Saturday 16 & Sunday 17 June from 10 am to 4pm with refreshments available throughout.

The warm evening was perfect for hosting this event as we greeted guests with a glass of wine and nibbles and they settled in to view the show. In her second visit to Walton, Shelley from Life & Soul Wetherby, introduced models wearing a sample selection of clothes and accessories from her Spring/Summer collection. All were reasonably priced.

There will be a cake stall and any donations of cakes, biscuits etc. would be very gratefully received - please contact Janet Johnson on 844189.

Mr & Mrs Scarecrow will be waiting to be named & ‘Splat the Rat’ is making a return visit coming out of hibernation since the Funday Sunday 2 years ago. Light Organ music will be played throughout for your enjoyment by our various local organists.

Fingers crossed for another successful event in aid of Walton’s lovely village church.

Scarecrow room is still available in the churchyard for anyone wishing to make one - contact Anne Kilby 842561. Theme is nursery rhymes and children’s stories. In honour of the event, read our contributors’ favourite childhood stories on pages 16 and 17 which may give you inspiration to create your own wonderful scarecrow too!

Following a short break, the audience were able to browse through a huge selection of clothes and accessories. Judging by the amount of shopping bags and smiling faces leaving the church, I guessed the ladies were very happy with their purchases!

Many thanks to everybody who volunteered their time to model for us, to Anthony Farrimond for the photography and to our many loyal supporters.

Letter from the Clergy on the door to suggest doing shopping for them?

When you see young mothers looking harassed, do you tell them about the Ark groups in All Saints church, Bramham or in St. Mary’s church Boston Spa that give company and spiritual support to parents and carers? Do you support the worship and social events that other people organise in your church?

Sometimes our job is just to put ourselves out for the sake of those near us.

‘It’s more than my job’s worth’! I am sure you have heard that from someone, somewhere in your lives.

Those people who can’t see themselves able to step outside the remit of their particular role will think this way, even if they don’t actually say the words.

On the other hand, we were often told, by parents usually, ‘if a job’s worth doing, it’s worth doing well.’

I wonder which sort of person you are; one to be restricted by the remit of the job in hand and only working to the letter of the job description, or one who finds their job expanding as you get going?

Of course, there are many grades in between the two ends of the scale, but you must know people who fit into each of those descriptions if it not you personally.

As Christians what jobs are we given? ‘Love one another as I have loved you’, said Jesus, and ‘Love your neighbour as yourself’ – two all encompassing commandments that should define our day to day living. So how are you going to carry out those directives; just to the letter of the law or with flair and imagination?

How many people do you know who will tell you all the jobs they see that need doing- by others? They are certainly good at telling us how the world around them needs putting right by A.N. Other, but somehow it is never their job to be the one to do that particular job.

Please be sure you are not just a ‘jobsworth’ person.

Our community is a Christian community and it needs people to see those commandments from Jesus in action - our action!

On the other hand, there are those who you don’t see, doing the helpful things for those around them, caring for their neighbours, their environment or their families. They are the people who are far too busy getting on with their prime directives from Jesus to be out there complaining to others about the state of the world.

Don’t wait for someone else to complain about the lack of compassion or absence of action; step up to the mark and join in with the work of Christ in our benefice.

As our Benefice rumbles into the second year of vacancy we must open our eyes to how well (or not) we are coping with our people and our churches on our own. How many people around your neighbourhood do you visit or help in role as a Christian. When you see old people becoming more housebound, do you risk being rebuffed by knocking

All of us are the advertisement for Christ in these neighbourhoods so let it be a large page colour spread!

Thorp Arch Parish Council April News Bulletin

THE NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN (NP) The NP is now officially Made and as such must be taken into account as a policy carrying weight in any decision on planning applications in Thorp Arch.

The following is a summary of some of the work the Parish Council (PC) has undertaken over the last few weeks. Please see the website for more information about the Parish Council, including minutes from meetings and agendas: www.thorparch.org.uk

All of us owe a debt of gratitude to the NP Committee, past and present. Graham Duxbury, Roland Blackburn and Richard West have agreed to continue their teamwork in monitoring the future implementation of the various policies, projects and aspirations highlighted in the Plan.

ANNUAL PARISH MEETING SITE ALLOCATION PLAN (SAP)

This month the Parish Council held their Annual Parish Meeting, which as usual was very well attended.

The SAP still remains in draft format. Issues have arisen because of the evident failure of Leeds City Council (LCC) to demonstrate a five-year land supply for residential development in line with its Core Strategy commitment to provide 70,000 homes in the period to 2028, and of which 5000 homes are designated for Outer North East Leeds. Consequently, developers currently have a free run at submitting planning applications whilst the SAP remains as draft, albeit the SAP timetable for adoption is being speeded up and there is hope that adoption will take place following Inspector Examination later this year, maybe early 2019.

Here is a brief record of the meeting. For the full version of the meeting please see the website.

2 10 0 14 2 8 33

HG2-227 SITE LAND TO THE NORTH OF WEALSTUN PRISON

Thefts mostly occurred on the Trading Estate.

Particular vehicles have been targeted for theft.

This site has been the subject of two planning applications: one for 23 housing units which has been given outline planning permission and in line with the NP; and one for 142 housing units (including the 23 units above) and which is currently being considered

by LCC Planning Department before coming to a Panel for a decision, likely to be this summer.

Anti-snap locks are recommended. The vehicle types are BMW’s and Audi’s.

CHAIRMAN’S REPORT – CLLR JOHN RICHARDSON Much has happened in and around Thorp Arch this past year and, consequently, your Parish Council has had a busy time albeit much of the work has not always been visible to the general public.

The owner of this Site is a Government Agency, Homes England (HE).

This latest Application by HE has and continues to receive strong and vigorous opposition from the Parish Council, from a new TAG supported by many residents, from Walton Parish Council, from Boston Spa Parish Council and from Ward Cllr Alan Lamb.

As Chairman, I am indebted to my four other fellow Councillors and to the Clerk for all the hard work and commitment they have shown.

PLANNING APPLICATIONS

Heritage Map project. The map will be located on the upper green.

Generally, within the Parish, applications for property improvements, tree trimming etc. remain numerous and the Parish Council is kept busy in making its comments known to LCC Planning authorities.

The Parish Council is drawing up plans for environmental improvement to the Lower Green, with particular reference to the land adjacent to the War Memorial site. Naturally, such plans will be the subject of consultation with residents and compliant with the NP.

Recently, the Parish Council has notified LCC of an unauthorised hedge removal on land at the entrance to Leeds United Training Academy. It is envisaged that an Enforcement Notice to restore the hedge will be served on the offending party.

Residents should be aware that the Defibrillator, located on the wall outside the entrance to the Pax Inn, is now in the ownership of the Parish Council.

There is no change to the procedures for any future use of the Defibrillator and the Parish Council will ensure it is properly maintained and personnel trained and available in the event it is called into use.

SPEEDING AND ROAD SAFETY MATTERS Following consultation with residents the Parish Council has agreed with Leeds Highways to install two Speed Indication Devices at each end of Church Causeway and Walton Road. In addition, discussions are ongoing with Leeds Highways for a reduction in speed limits throughout the village to 20mph from Bridge Foot and ending past the School on Dowkell Lane.

A Village Archive has been set up to contain documents etc. of value in documenting the past history of the village of Thorp Arch. This Archive is maintained at the loft room at All Saints Church.

PARISH COUNCIL WEBSITE

It is likely that the installation work will take place later this year. I should like to thank Cllr Andrew Rodger for all his hard work in leading on this project over the last two years.

The PC website has been reviewed, improved and the new site is now live. It is to be hoped that residents will make use of this facility in the future as they seek to communicate and interact with Councillors.

HIGHWAYS, FOOTPATHS AND INFRASTRUCTURE FINANCE

In the last year residents have generally been able to enjoy the improved road and pathways following past re-surfacing work. However, there are areas where further work is necessary and in particular the Parish Council currently is trying to persuade Leeds Highways to give some priority to the poor road surface and drainage at the junction of Wood Lane, Thorp Arch Park (including up to the cattle grid) and Dowkell Lane.

The Parish Council continues to maintain tight control over its finances. In the new financial year just started, residents will be aware not only of the increase in Council Tax levied by LCC but within the overall increase there has been a further rise in our Parish Precept from £17,020 to £22,500. This increase is regrettable but is due to: • additional provision for project costs arising in regard to the Heritage Map

The Parish Council is also engaging with Leeds Highways over the damage caused on the Upper Green by vehicles encroaching on the grass verges when parking and delivering.

• provision for the costs of installing Speed Indication Devices and other road safety signage • continued provision for possible election costs in 2019 in the event of a contested election at that time

COMMUNITY PROJECTS Progress has been made in the last year on the 11

• general inflationary rises due to administration and expenses incurred

of Causeway and would like to thank everybody for all the support and positive comments I have received.

Consequently, the annual increase in the local Parish charge (Band D Household) is £14.55 taking the total charge to £59.92 p.a.

It is timely to mention John Pendleton who handles the design and layouts, bringing alive the words and pictures.

John spent time redesigning Causeway following our first meeting and I think it has been due in no small part to this update that readers will have responded so warmly, given that my predecessors Gaby Morrison and Paula Letts - left the magazine in fantastic shape for me to take over.

SUMMARY OF FINANCES – CLERK Income and expenditure were up on last year. The Parish Council had an underspend of £2,761.00 therefore the back balance increased to £17,834.

We now have new accounting procedures in place which were introduced in December 2017, coinciding with a move to online banking.

VILLAGE SOCIETY – GABY MORRISON Summer is normally a quieter time for the VS and we sprang back to life in the autumn with a full programme of events:

TAG AND NEW TAG UPDATE – PETER LOCKE

• the annual cricket match against the tennis club (they won - again) – thanks to TABS for letting us use the pitch.

TATE Huge thanks to the core campaign team and all who have supported TAG. Rockspring appealed on grounds of non-determination in February 2017.

• the fireworks (possibly the most popular event which we organise) – thanks to Will West and Sam Dove for setting up the fireworks and to Tom Kilby for lending his field again.

The subsequent Public Inquiry was held in September and continued in November.

TAG has over 200 Supporters on our email list - plus a very active core committee.

• Carols around the Green. Our other preChristmas event was the afternoon tea at the dress rehearsal for the LEH nativity play. At this event we were introduced to the new head at LEH School, Michele O’Donnell, which was great as she is keen to foster strong links between the school and Village Society.

The Secretary of State is due to give his decision by 12 July 2018. TAG remain very optimistic.

HOMES ENGLAND APPLICATION The site for 119 houses (17/07970) north of Wealstun has received strong objections from our community, including all three Parish Councils. TAPC retained planning consultants and TAG created a ‘new mandate’ group, to cover the extended scope of activities.

During the year, we organise two afternoons, one, in Spring, our annual litter pick. In Autumn, we continue with our bulb planting program.

The Green and the verges along the roads are full of daffodils and crocuses in Spring.

This now has 143 ‘new mandate’ supporters on the email list. The main issues are the highways capacity, and the loss of green space. The application is not compliant with LCC core strategy.

Looking ahead to the coming twelve months we are hoping to organise a Village lunch to commemorate the centennial anniversary of the end of WW1.

CAUSEWAY – RACHEL BENTLEY I have been delighted to take on the position of Editor 12

YCA – FIONA SPENCE

players looking to play socially. This will be on Sunday 16 September at TABS CC (details to be confirmed).

Fiona expressed concerns that the YCA had to move out of the school, which they had been using for many years.

Anybody keen to find out more details can contact The Chairman - Rob Seldon on 07768 264 216.

They expressed a wish to move back to the school as soon as possible. Current meetings are held at Deepdale community centre.

Other Committee Members are Jane Clayton, Jane and Mark Freeman, Jill Tarr, Amanda Waind, Richard and Ed West, Gaby Morrison - to whom The Club is grateful.

YCA have organised a number of events and speakers over the last year, including a representative from the Royal Ballet.

RESIDENT CONCERNS

They have received great support for the open gardens events and thank all those who offered up their gardens.

Concerns were expressed that the school was no longer available for community use.

The school has been used since the 1920’s by all of the community in Thorp Arch.

YCA have supported 3 main charities: The Joanna Project, Ambulance Service and an upcycling charity.

David Spurr informed the meeting that the Diocese are looking at ways of re-engaging the school with the community. The Headteacher also confirmed that this is a priority for the school.

TENNIS CLUB – ROB SELDON Thorp Arch Lawn Tennis Club is open to all residents of Thorp Arch Parish. We currently have about 20 live family memberships which are subscribed for at £45 per year.

NEXT MEETING The next Parish Council Meeting will be held on Monday 11 June, 7pm at All Saints Church, Thorp Arch.

Membership entitles the member to play on the court without charge although we do ask that a £2 fee is collected from adult guests and deposited with Jane Clayton at 13 The Village. Usage of the court is not heavy and there is also a simple booking arrangement if you want to make firm arrangements in advance.

Over recent years we have invested to upgrade the pavilion and have spent over £2,000 on improving the playing surface.

A significant portion of our funds come from the family memberships referred to above and from a 200-club administered by Wendy Kemp with tickets available from Committee Members named below.

Each Summer we hold an American Tournament followed by a BBQ which is open to villagers and members alike for a fee which covers food. Further details of this event - to be held on Sunday 24 June will be found in upcoming editions of The Causeway.

In addition, TALTC play The Village Society in a cricket match and we are always looking out for volunteer 13

Favourite Children’s Tales

make a wish, is found in a mysterious antique shop, taking them from the shop back to their home, and so their adventures begin!

In honour of the St Peter’s Church Scarecrow Trail 16-17 June, which will celebrate children’s stories and nursery rhymes, Causeway asked two of the organisers (Anne Kilby and Doreen Lister), plus some of our regular contributors, for favourite tales from their younger years.

Taking them to lots of magical places, from a castle where they rescue Chinkie the pixie, who joins them on further adventures, to an amazing party at magician Greenheart’s Castle - a lovely read for children.

Anne Kilby

Happy days sat by our fire in Mum and Dad's cottage in Walton.

I loved reading Enid Blyton's Secret Seven Books.

When I was young I would look forward to catching the bus from my home in Little Ribston to Knaresborough every Saturday morning to choose my next Secret Seven Book from the library.

Guy Kitchen Sometime in the 1950s my mother coerced me to, “read something darling.”

Previously my literary experience had been limited to The Eagle, The Beano and my sister’s copy of Bunty. Mum suggested I might try the Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame, I was not the least bit interested but took the book to bed with me.

We had so much freedom in those days (1950s) and with my 2 close friends we would often spend all day in the surrounding fields and woods reliving some of the adventures that we read about in these books.

I immediately struck up a relationship with Ratty, Moly, Badger and Mr Toad. Each character was different, Moly and Ratty were good pals who lived on the bank of the Thames.

Badger lived in the Wild Wood and was wise and respected and Mr Toad was an amiable buffoon fond of crashing cars.

The story is that of a bucolic Edwardian world where good prevails over evil (there are baddies - weasels and stoats).

I also read the Famous Five Books and was delighted when our youngest grandson Thomas aged 7 arrived from London for Christmas with his head in a Famous Five book, and I was able to delve into a box of my old books and found 2 that he hadn't read. He was thrilled to bits as was I. Doreen Lister Enid Blyton's ‘The Adventures of the Wishing Chair’ was my all-time favourite for reading. The story of Mollie and Peter, who discover the chair with its magical wings, that fold away until they

The images of boating along the sun lit river bank under weeping willows gave me a feeling of being there with them. The story is pure nostalgia from a past time when everything in the garden was rosy.

Now you are expecting me to say that I am now and avid reader of novels, I’m not.

Paula Letts

However, my favourite children’s story of all time is one I encountered in my twenties: How the Grinch Stole Christmas, by Dr Seuss. Aside from the quirky characters – from the hermit Grinch with his longsuffering dog Max, to the cheerful Whos, especially sweet little Cindy Lou Who – it just captures the true meaning of Christmas. When I hear the good people of Whoville belt out a Christmas song after waking up to all of their presents and trees and lights having been stolen, well, it never fails to rouse the Christmas spirit in me.

My favourite children's book is Out with Romany Again.

The stories of Hotch the Hedgehog, Flash the Fox, Spook the Barn-owl and Sleek the Weasel have entranced children for generations.

Their author, the Rev. George Bramwell Evens, was born in 1884 of gypsy stock from where he no doubt inherited his love of the countryside and great gift for storytelling. His books describe his travels in a gypsy caravan with Comma his horse and Raq his loyal cocker spaniel.

Rachel Bentley As a girl I was an avid reader - quite good by the time I was three years old (precocious child!)

Loyal fans of his include David Attenborough, David Bellamy and Terry Waite who is said to have recounted the stories to himself in his mind during his captivity to keep himself sane.

If you happen to be in Sandsend you will find a plaque to the author on Romany Cottage which is where he lived while writing Out with Romany by the Sea. Anne Watts As a child I cut my teeth on the Grimm Brothers fairy tales, interspersed with my father’s sometime bedtime stories, where he let me ask any question I wanted. Where does coal come from? Why does a bicycle not fall over? He knew all the answers.

Except one: how can the universe be without end?

Even better minds than his are still working on that one!

I simply loved EVERY book that I read or that was read to me including many of the authors mentioned by my fellow contributors, plus Frances Hodgson Burnett, E. Nesbit, Dickens, Alan Garner and Tolkien. I devoured books and loved to lose myself in them.

However, my special children’s story was that invented by my very own dad.

He concocted a lovely world around a little man who lived in a toadstool, and who had rather special magic powers. I told my children my version of the tales, and the little man is part of our family folklore!

I would like to commit these stories to paper, something which we always tried to encourage my dad to do but he never got round to it. It would be my wish to publish them in his memory, so perhaps me writing this might just inspire me to do that…

We are lucky to have two new village members, Tony and Helen who run their own successful drinks business.

Go Ape at Temple Newsam An exciting aerial adventure course has officially opened in a popular east Leeds park this May. Set within the confines of Menagerie Wood in the beautiful location of Temple Newsam Park, the new high ropes ‘Go Ape’ attraction offers an exhilarating day out for people of all ages to enjoy.

We were firstly welcomed with a glass of champagne.

They then guided us through tasting a varied selection of 6 wines. During the latter half of the evening we were given 4 wines that had the labels concealed and each table had to describe the taste and nose and then to guess the grape and country of origin. By now the alcohol was taking its toll but the guests bravely continued with the task!

Providing three different levels of fun to suit both the beginner and experienced Go Ape fanatic, visitors can take on an array of challenges from obstacles at increasing heights to a free-fall Tarzan Swing and four tree-to-tree zips. For those who are brave enough, there is also the chance to experience a mammoth 46ft sheer drop called ‘The Plummet’. To find out more and to book see goape.co.uk/days-out/north/ temple-newsam.

The Village Society provided a supper of bread, biscuits and cheese and and there was also a raffle with an eclectic mix of prizes. We thank Liz and John Richardson for kindly hosting the evening in their beautiful Barn and Tony and Helen for providing the various wines and giving an insight into professional wine tasting.

Villagers’ Olympic cycle challenge for cancer charity

us go on a ski and snowboarding trip every January so I knew they would be keen to take part.”

A group of friends from Thorp Arch are gearing up to take on a 100-mile cycling challenging in aid of a national cancer charity.

Joining Simon is Gavin, who is recovering from a broken leg and sees the challenge as a great way to recover his strength and fitness, and Dan, a keen cyclist, both who live in Woodlands. Together with three others, the men will pedal up in London on 28 July.

Simon Hills, Gavin McCune, and Dan Robertshaw are part of a six-man team training for the Prudential Ride London in July and hoping to raise more than £3,000 for Lymphoma Action.

Simon added, “Although I’m a rather reluctant cyclist and the ride is going to be incredibly tough, it’s motivating to know that we will be doing something to help others, while improving our own fitness!”

The course will see the group tackle the undulating 2012 Olympic Road course, which includes the infamous Box Hill and Leith Hill climbs in Surrey.

The team is currently in the throes of training for the event and, despite each member’s differing work and family commitments, is managing to hit the road for regular training sessions that take in the local countryside.

Simon Hills, from Woodland Drive, decided to sign up for the challenge after taking on the role of interim chief executive for Lymphoma Action, a national charity that provides specialist information and support to people affected by lymphoma, the UK’s fifth most common cancer.

“Training has started gently with a couple of rides a week and we have built up our mileage steadily.

Although we enjoy training together as a team it’s not always easy to coordinate our schedules so there are times when we have to train solo which is much harder but absolutely necessary if we are going to complete the challenge!”

Although he specialises in interim chief executive roles, often within the charity sector, this is the first time Simon has signed up for a fundraising challenge for a charity he is involved with professionally.

He said, “It was a combination of wanting to complete this course and do something to help raise funds for such a wonderful charity that motivated me to sign me, and my friends, up for this challenge. The six of

Beware of Gardeners Bearing Gifts…

border. Although not perennials, they will keep flowering all summer with a bit of dead-heading and the minimum of fuss. Felicia is my favourite – about five feet high, with clusters of ruffled shell pink flowers which have the sweetest scent, it is a charming rose for the middle of the border and an excellent cut flower.

“I've brought you this. It grows like a weed in my garden!”

When you hear those words, a red light should flash and alarms should start to sound, because you can be sure it will grow like a weed in your beloved garden, too, and you will never get rid of it. Oh, acanthus mollis - beautiful though it is - I've been trying to eradicate it from my garden for five years now. (A wellmeaning gift).

In late summer, all too often, our gardens begin to look a bit faded and tired, but there is a whole army of plants waiting to take over, and some of them gloriously vibrant. The coneflowers, or echinaceas will flower right through to October - oh my goodness, echinacea Fatal Attraction will just knock your socks off.

Some plants really should come with a health warning, especially the ones that travel unseen underground - if you chop them inadvertently with a spade they immediately form a new plant…very handy for giving to your neighbour - oh no! Others spread in a genteel manner so that they form a substantial clump but can be kept under control without fear of them fighting back. Achillea ptarmica is one such. Not dissimilar to gypsophila, the flowers create a foam of little white pincushions. It would take over the entire border, given the opportunity, but can easily be contained.

It is a good idea to take a photographic record of herbaceous borders month by month, if not more frequently, throughout the summer. We would all like to achieve continuous colour and interest through the season, but it is difficult because when you start to tidy the beds up and move things around in springtime you cannot always remember what the summer effect was like, especially when everything has died back.

Acanthus Mollis

Equally brilliant are dahlias which come into their own in the latter part of the year. I prefer the single varieties, such as the old favourite Bishop of Llandaff – blood red with purple stems. And if you haven't had enough of red show-stoppers there is always Crocosmia Lucifer. Right at the back of the border the deep blue Aconitum 'Bressingham Spire' comes into its own now, but beware, it is deadly poisonous. For a more pastel pallet Michaelmas daisies and Japanese anemones will all keep going well into autumn as will your lovely nodding penstemons.

Some of the most sumptuous perennials unfortunately flower for only a brief period (the 'blink it and you'll miss it' brigade). Peonies, gorgeous though they are, strut their stuff then drop their petals at the slightest provocation. Delphiniums and bearded irises - their transitory beauty is over all too quickly.

But there are plenty of other candidates, the hard workers of the border, which will keep going. Phlox, campanula lactiflora and penstemons all have a good long flowering period, and then there are the lovely leucanthemums – all good stayers. Some of the hardy geraniums have a long flowering period, notably the sterile hybrid varieties, such as Rozanne (Jolly Bee) and their flowering can be further extended by giving them the Chelsea chop in late May.

It’s really worth taking those photographs so that you can make sure you have a good spread of colour to last right through the growing season. I always start the summer with good intentions of being organised and making a photographic record. Now, where did I put my camera?

Garden Hints - June

where they get maximum aeration, or in seed trays or plug trays. It depends on the number you are taking.

Do not overcrowd. Carefully water in. This settles the cuttings. If you can give some bottom heat all well and good. Remember ‘cold heads, warm feet’.

Cover with polythene or a plastic lid. This is where the under-heated propagator comes into its own and you can place it out of the direct sunlight where it might get too hot and the cuttings wilt. Keeping cool heads conserves energy!

This is the time of the year when young, soft, plant growth is about. It is in condition to change its mode to form other plant organs, in this case from shoots to roots helped by us! This soft condition forms the basis of softwood cuttings of all those attractive plants that you see in your garden (or someone else’s) and which you can turn into new plants to swop with your neighbours or sell at the local church social. You don’t need fancy equipment with bottom heat but it does help.

As well as sowing seed of sunflowers, night scented stock and sweet peas my Dad always encouraged me to try a few cuttings on the window sill or to put some lengths of willow or poplar into a bottle of water which formed roots. That was my introduction to taking softwood cuttings.

Later, as an apprentice, I was to see real action with the production of thousands of bedding geranium (pelargonium) cuttings in Bristol Parks with Bill. He was an ex-merchantman who just had the knack with plants and not only produced their bedding plants but their indoor plants for civic displays. That process continues to this day from the same glasshouse nursery.

Plants grown from softwood cuttings range from shrubs, herbaceous plants, alpines and pot plants.

Shrubs obtained in this way are Buddleias, Weigelas, Spiraeas, Forsythias, Elderberries, Brachyglottis (Senicio), Euonymus, Potentillas, Ceanothus and many conifers, Gentians, Leycesteria, Lithospermums and many more.

Garderners World

The cut base of the cutting will form a callus (plant cells which can differentiate or change their function) from which the new roots will appear. When the cutting starts to grow after 3 to 4 weeks you will have a good idea when roots have formed or the roots appear at the base of the pot.

Prepare compost with half grit sand and half compost, peat, pearlite OR vermiculite. Moisture retention with free drainage is important to get air to the base of the cutting. Use healthy non-flowering terminal shoots 2 to 4 inches long and cut just below a node with the sharpest knife or razor blade (the point where the leaves arise). Dip the end of the cutting into a rooting hormone powder or liquid (I like powder). Immediately dibber a hole in the compost, half the depth of the cutting and make sure the base of the cutting sits in contact with the bottom of the hole. Gently backfill – do not firm. Remember the need for oxygen.

Lift and carefully pot on in good compost, in a pot of the size suitable to take the rooting system. Give some protection in a frame or a quiet shaded part of the greenhouse to establish and then harden off.

Good luck to our green fingered brigade!

Blooming Great Tea Party

Colourful Way to Raise Money

The charity Marie Curie is calling on people around Wetherby to throw a Blooming Great Tea Party this June to support people who are terminally ill.

A kaleidoscope of colour will greet runners in the Colour Run for Martin House Hospice Care for Children and Young People to be held at Bramham Park on Sunday 15 July at 12pm.

It’s easy to get involved. Pick a date then invite your friends, colleagues and family round for a tea party, bake sale or a ‘Bake Off’ style competition. All you need to do is ask for donations on the day. The money you raise will help Marie Curie provide vital care and support for people living with a terminal illness and their loved ones.

Faye Cryer, Community Fundraiser for Leeds and Wetherby said, “Throwing a Blooming Great Tea Party for Marie Curie is an easy way to get together with friends, family and colleagues and raise money for a great cause. Invite the whole village round for a garden party or spend time with a few close friends and buy in your favourite treat. So whether you’re an aspiring pastry chef, or a total butterfingers, join the thousands of people in Wetherby who will be baking up a storm to raise money. We’re counting on your cuppa!”

Runners will set off on the 3.5km course around Bramham in clean white T-shirts and end up covered in colour as they make their way through the paint stations.

The money raised goes to support children and young people with life-limiting conditions from across West, North and East Yorkshire. Martin House provides care at its hospice in Boston Spa as well as in their own homes.

It costs £20 per adult, and £10 for children aged five to 15 to enter the Colour Run, and there are also family tickets available at £50 (two adults, two children), while group bookings of five or more adults costs £15 each. Everyone who raises more than £50 in sponsorship gets a goody bag.

Dulcie from Dulcie Butterfly Vintage Tea Rooms, Boston Spa said, “We were delighted for Marie Curie to have chosen our tea room to launch their Blooming Great Tea Party. We had fun and laughter at our photo shoot as should you when you hold your tea party for this great cause. We hope it will inspire others to get involved – I know we will be doing!”
