BASIS

The Basis is a free magazine distributed to homes and businesses in Street, Glastonbury, Wells and Shepton Mallet. Each issue is packed with local information guaranteed to give you plenty to do with your free time. The Basis is very much a community magazine, which means that if you have a story you’d like included in a future issue or would like to write a piece for the magazine, then we’d love to hear from you. Drop the editor a line on dean@super8media.co.uk and we’ll be in touch.

Advertising 6,500 copies of The Basis are distributed around Street, Glastonbury, Wells and Shepton Mallet. There really is no better way to reach the local people that could be using your business. Contact Dean on dean@ super8media.co.uk to discuss what we can do to help promote your business in The Basis.

Please note that we do not approve or endorse any of the services or products provided by advertisers in this magazine (however lovely they are) and do not accept responsibility for any of the content they supply.

T

here’s a definite Festival vibe in the air. As I write this people are gathering from all around the world to set up Glastonbury – which is just a few miles down the road from The Basis’ office, and speaking of gathering, it’s the Godney Gathering in a matter of weeks, too! Hope to see some of you there. This issue packs a lot into its 40 pages, including features on the Summer Show at the Atkinson Gallery in Street, Wells Art Contemporary, the Affinity Trust, Off the Streets in August, Burns the Breads’ Baking Courses, House of El, the Mid-Somerset Show and Pauline Rook, a local photographer who displays her photos at the Somerset Guild of Craftsmen in Wells. As always, we really hope you enjoy it. Don’t forget that if you want even more events to choose from across the whole county, check out www.thebasisonline.com.

GALLERY OPENS SUMMER SHOW

The Summer Show at the Atkinson Gallery is up and running…

T

he Atkinson Gallery in Millfield School has an annual programme with four exhibitions each year – two of which showcase the work of artists with a national or international profile either through individual or group exhibitions. Past exhibitors for these exhibitions include Sir Anthony Caro, Stewart Geddes PRWA, Dame Elisabeth Frink, Susie MacMurray and Glynn Williams. The other two exhibitions on the gallery calendar aim to support local and student work, offering an opportunity for students to raise the profile of their art through the MA & Other Postgraduates exhibition held at the end of February each year and the Summer Show which runs from the end of June. The Summer Show aims to support regional artists and offers an opportunity for them to share and sell their work. It provides a valuable resource for pupils at the school in terms of beginning their preparation for next year’s studies and offers an overview of local contemporary art. Viewing the artwork is completely free and easy to attend – just pop into the reception at the main entrance to the school. It’s also highly recommended, as there are some stunning pieces of art on display.

hanks to the Red Brick Building in Glastonbury securing funding, the gorgeous garden terrace alongside Bocabar has finally got itself a roof for all weathers. Resident DJ Adam Poole – co-owner of Hub Timber Frame – offered his design and skilled team to make the glulam wooden frame and clear polycarbonate sheet roof to budget. With the help of Bon Everson, who runs the community garden at the Red Brick Building, the planters have been refreshed with herbs and flowers to enhance the surrounding natural beauty of the outdoor space. Looking out onto the Levels, it’s perfect for al fresco breakfasts, lunching and dining this summer, and enjoying sunsets sipping cocktails.

BASIS 15

THE

As the weather warms up, it’s important to think about keeping your pets safe from the heat, and other issues that only arise in the summer months. Heatstroke is the most important thing to avoid. Leaving a pet in a hot car, or over-exercising them in warm weather, can cause a rapid rise in body temperature that can lead to seizures, organ failure and death. Brachycephalic breeds such as French bulldogs and pugs are particularly vulnerable. Walk your pet when the weather is cool, and remember never to leave a dog in the car during summer. Unlike us, pets don’t really show visible sunburn, but sun damage can still lead to skin cancer. Make sure nonpigmented, lightly haired skin, such as the tips of ears, noses, or a dog’s belly are protected with a pet sunscreen. Ticks are a blood-sucking parasite found in long grass in warm summer and autumn weather. An individual tick isn’t dangerous, but they can carry disease. Most tick-borne diseases are absent from the UK, but tick protection is important if you travel with your pet. Our team can advise you on an effective product for your pet. Long summer grass can be full of grass seeds, which can get into pets’ ears, or burrow through the skin, causing painful abscesses. Paws are the worst affected areas, especially in dogs with long coats. Checking your dog’s coat after a walk and removing any grass seeds before they reach the skin can save a trip to the vets!

Whether it be Stilton & Walnut, Cheddar Cheese, Granary, Spelt, Super Seeded, or your own combination of flavours and flours, you will not be disappointed. While you enjoy your lunch, your dough will gently ferment away, and be ready for you to shape, plait, prove and bake during the afternoon session.

BREAD & PASTRY DAY

For both beginner and intermediate bakers On our Bread & Pastry day, Bob the Baker will teach you how to make a superb loaf of bread, and a range of sweet, savoury and puff pastries.

July 2019

advocate of infrared photography, ever since she began using a camera with the infrared filter removed. Basically, there are extremities of light that cannot be seen with the naked eye, although they can be normally picked up by a camera’s infrared filter. If you remove that filter you can create some incredibly striking effects. To see exactly how dramatic a photo taken on an infrared camera can be have a look at the landscape photograph on this page. We also recommend that you head to Pauline’s website (www.rookphoto.co.uk) and check out some of the galleries on her Blog page – in particular, the giraffe photographs taken in Kenya, which are some of our favourites. Pauline’s work is on sale at the Somerset Guild of Craftsmen in Broad Street in Wells (www. somersetguild.co.uk), where she has an excellent range of her rural-themed work.

auline Rook is a Somerset-based photographer that’s developed her artistic eye by photographing the stunning scenery and rural farms across Somerset. She was a farmer’s wife, and has lived in the country for around 40 years now – and has been taking photographs since she was 10 years old. An Associate of the Royal Photographic Society (ARPS), Pauline has also been shortlisted for Wildlife Photographer of the Year. Traditionally, Pauline has worked with standard camera film, as well as developed her skills in the dark room to create stunning prints. As technology has developed though, Pauline now fully embraces the digital medium for photography. Prints can also be created far quicker and easier with the digital medium than they ever could through a dark room, and the quality of the finished digital image is as good, if not better, than a dark room one. Pauline also uses the best-quality paper to ensure that her prints look their very best. More recently, Pauline has become a passionate

WE DON’T JUST DO FUNERALS, WE CELEBRATE LIFE

e at Wells Funeral Services offer affordable funerals to the people of Mendip and beyond. We set up in 2016, and pride ourselves on delivering funerals that people want, as our clients’ needs, wants and budgets are very importance to us as a business. We like to get to know our families, and that’s why we have a stall at Wells Market every Wednesday from January to November. We’re there to answer any questions you have about funerals and plans, but we’ll also happily talk about anything, as it’s more getting to know you. When selecting a funeral director, try to use an independent like me, and look at their reviews – either on their site or Google. After all, you’re only as good as the last funeral you delivered. For more information, call us now on 01749 670100 or email rod@wfs.me.uk. Rod Major, Wells Funeral Services

What our Customers say: “The most tragic and emotional event in your life needs the best support you can get. I’m very pleased to have chosen WFS for my dear wife’s funeral. Rod and his team were respectful, informative and professional from the first contact and gave the right balance of contact and getting on with arrangements in the background. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. Thanks to Rod on a personal level for your service and respect for my lovely Sharon.” – Martin S. 5 Star Rating
