Mystery Creatures
At the Federation of Newent Schools, we are always looking for fun ways to bring the curriculum to life and a couple of weeks ago we managed it quite literally when Years 1 and 2 were visited by a leopard skinned gecko, stick insects and Turbo the tortoise. After the visit, the children wrote amazing descriptions of the creatures that the other classes had to guess. The children not only improved their writing skills but also showed great courage in handling the creatures and getting up close. They thoroughly enjoyed the experience and the work that was produced was outstanding!
If you are looking for school places for next year’s reception or in any of the other primary year groups we would welcome you to visit Glebe Infant School & Picklenash Junior School. Please feel free to contact the school office on 01531 820589 to arrange a tour of the school. By Tony Larner, Executive Head Teacher

New Start Cat Rescue looking for volunteers and fosterers
New Start Cat Rescue is on the lookout for people who can come and help clean out the cats' pens at their Huntley premises, ideally one morning a week from 9.30am - 12.00pm. It is a great opportunity to meet new people and volunteer for an excellent cause. The charity is also in urgent need of fosterers as they are currently overrun with cats, including many semi-feral kittens that need to be shown that humans can be trusted.
Can you help with this? Do you have a spare room in your house where you could look after one or several cats or kittens? New Start Cat Rescue will provide the food, litter and any veterinary treatment needed (you will have to be prepared to travel to one of their approved vet practices though). It is a fantastic way to help the charity and to get a parttime cat or kitten to look after.

Love Local’s Guide Through the Summer Sun Wow, I can't believe it's August already! The schools have broken up for their long summer break now and many of you will be going or have been away on holiday, but don't forget there are also many things happening in and around the area to keep you and the children entertained this summer. The Tibberton Show returns on 17th of August and boasts an exciting programme of performances, displays and competitions that promises fun for all the family (see page 7). Or how about a visit to an Exhibition of Quilts (see details below)? As an avid crafter, I love to look at other people’s handiwork and marvel at all the time and hard work that has gone into a handmade item.
Another suggestion for a great day out would be a trip to Highgrove Royal Gardens in Tetbury. The Love Local team had the pleasure to go on a guided tour of the gardens earlier on this year - find out more about it on pages 18 and 19. Lastly, in this edition, I thought I share with you a tip for a fun summer activity that does not break the bank and appeals to a variety of ages. Head to page 9 to find out all about Treasure Trails. Whatever you end up doing, I hope you have a great month!

THE MARKET HOUSE Newent Town Council’s Newsletter Message from The Mayor – Cllr June Davies I am proud to report that Newent Town Council has been awarded the Quality Award in the National Association of Local Councils’ Award Scheme. The Town Council received a government grant to “tidy up town centres”. We are pleased with the new planters and hopefully, by the time this goes to print, the flowers and the bunting will be a welcoming asset to our residents and visitors. Many congratulations to Sheppard House on their 25th Anniversary.
The Cemetery Lodge In early July the Town Council held a consultation about its proposal to sell the Cemetery Lodge which has been in disrepair for some years and needs major refurbishment. The proposal is to sell at market value. The Lodge was used as the Council’s office for some years, but it has been decided that the best office location for Newent Town Council is a building in the centre of town. Details are in the pipeline.
We are on Facebook You can now visit our Facebook page to find out about local news and events. This is now live after some months of preparation. FURTHER INFORMATION Information about the Council, its activities and contact details for councillors, can be found on the website at www.newenttowncouncil.org.uk. Or ring 01531 820638.

Editor's Tip: Time for a Treasure Trail Are you looking for a fun way to explore your local town or village? Are you going somewhere new (in the UK) this year where you have not been to before? Are you trying to find an enjoyable summer activity for the whole family that does not break the bank? Then try out a Treasure Trail! I first learnt about them on a surprise birthday trip to Wales earlier this year. As somebody who loves puzzles, riddles, mysteries and escape games, I was immediately hooked. The concept is simple but very fun - you go on a selfguided themed treasure hunt (ours was a murder mystery one) that sends you looking for clues around your chosen town or village (in our case Tenby). There are over 1,200 treasure trails all over the UK, you can find 33 in Gloucestershire alone so chances are that some of you may have done one, or indeed several, already.
Each trail consists of an A5 booklet at 8 pages long asking you to solve a series of between 20-25 clues which take you on a scenic walk (about 2 miles long on average). Although many of the walks are accessible, some are not fully suitable for wheelchairs or pushchairs. However, each trail is clearly marked so check the booklet before you start. The trails follow one of three themes and
can be either a Murder Mystery, a Treasure Hunt or Spy Mission. All clues lie hidden within local landmarks, information boards, etc. so are part of the 'local furniture'. This means that: (1) you really get to know the town/village (2) you learn more about its history and (3) you will definitely get a closer look at things you may have missed on a normal walk. It really is a fantastic way of exploring a place and the best part is that you are outside, exercising and socialising whilst having fun. There is no age limit and you can find the clues in your own time. So if you fancy a cup of tea and piece of cake in between, then by all means go ahead! If you ever get stuck, there is an option to text the 'stuck on a clue' helpline which will give you the answer, allowing you to carry on with the trail.
The trails work best for groups of between 2-5 people and cost only ÂŁ6.99. The website recommends to work from one trail booklet to ensure everyone works together as a team. However, there is nothing stopping you from printing off several if you prefer for everyone to have a copy.
Trail booklets can be purchased online at www.treasuretrails.co.uk or from local retailers (search on the website to find your nearest one). Happy hunting! Written by Anne Golldack

Henry fears the worst
•
A short story written by local writer Geraldine Faulkner
Henry was worried about his wife, Annie.
Usually such a sensible, calm woman, Annie had started behaving in what Henry could only call ‘an erratic manner’. For instance, she normally brought him a cup of tea in the middle of the morning; especially when he had been hard at work in the vegetable garden, hoeing between the rows of beetroot and potatoes. The Annie of old would stand and listen to him recount what he had done and what he planned to do. The new Annie was now late in bringing his mid-morning cuppa and instead of waiting until he had drained his cup so she could take it indoors with her, would shove the cup at him in an abrupt way and go back indoors muttering about “a phone call I have to make”. 10
•
Henry racked his brains trying to recall if he had offended her. Although he would be the last to admit it, it had been known to happen. He thought back over the last couple of weeks. He had put the recycling materials out on time and he had even remembered their recent wedding anniversary (Henry was notoriously bad at remembering special events). What on earth was bothering her? Two days ago, he had followed his wife indoors only to hear her say to someone on the phone: “Henry is in the garden so I can talk…” When she spotted him standing in the kitchen doorway, Annie had promptly taken the phone into the snug where she closed the door. Afterwards, she had said it had been an old schoolfriend who was having ‘women’s problems, but Henry
was having none of it. Something was up and he was determined to get to the bottom of it.
However, casual enquiries were not productive so Henry took to lurking behind doorways. It went against the grain but he was starting to have dark and unwelcome thoughts.
Could his wife be having an affair? Henry had seen the way other men responded to her twinkling blue eyes and lovely smile. There was no doubt she was still a very attractive woman.
The thought of Annie leaving him for another man plunged Henry into a deep depression. The worst thing was that Annie, normally so sensitive to his moods, didn’t even notice he was looking miserable. Things had indeed come to a pretty pass.
Then one morning at breakfast, Annie pushed over an envelope to Henry. Could this be his divorce papers? He wondered miserably. Then he noticed that Annie was smiling at him. Surely, she wouldn’t be looking so radiant if it was bad news? He hesitantly opened the envelope.
“But these are tickets to Gardeners’ Question Time,” said Henry.
“It’s a surprise,” grinned Annie. “You have been wanting to go for years so I’ve arranged for a group of us to go together. Are you pleased?” He beamed at her. The tickets were a wonderful surprise, but all that really mattered was that his Annie was back again.

Maple Glazed Pork with Mediterranean Veg Kebabs
These chunky meat kebabs with a sweet sticky glaze are perfect for a barbeque or al fresco supper served with warmed flatbreads and salad.
Makes 8 Ingredients
750g lean pork fillet, cubed Juice of 1 lemon 2 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp dried oregano
1 garlic clove, crushed
2 large red peppers, deseeded and cubed 2 courgettes, sliced
2 red onions, peeled and cubed 6 tbsp maple syrup
4 tbsp tomato ketchup
TIP
1 tbsp mild mustard
14
Place the cubed pork in a non-metallic container and add the lemon juice, half the oil and the dried oregano and garlic. Toss to coat then cover and leave to marinate in the fridge for 3-4 hours or overnight.
Thread the pork, pepper, courgettes and red onion onto 8 long metal skewers. Cook on a preheated barbeque or under a hot grill for 10-15 minutes, turning frequently, until the pork is cooked through and the vegetables are lightly charred.
Meanwhile, mix the remaining oil, maple syrup, ketchup and mustard together and brush all over the kebabs for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking time, until glazed and sticky. Serve immediately.
Marinating the meat in lemon juice and oil will make it extra tender. Add some chopped chilli for a spicy touch or add 2 tbsp light soy sauce, if liked.
Auction Anecdote It’s pleasant to be able to talk about a piece of furniture performing well at auction for a change since (as many of you know) antique furniture does not often take centre stage in the saleroom these days. The item in question was a superb Carlton House desk - so called after the style was initially designed by George Hepplewhite for George IV at his London residence ‘Carlton House’. This late 19thcentury example was in superb condition and featured elaborate ivorine marquetry panels depicting scenes of putti at play amongst foliage and scrollwork borders. There were however two additional plus points which made the desk even more desirable. Firstly, it was stamped by the London makers Edwards & Roberts, which guaranteed its quality as the firm was well known for making desks of this type. Secondly, the provenance of the piece, which had originally come from Flaxley Abbey – a stately home near Blaisden and the seat of the CrawleyBoevey family, was excellent. As the furniture had been passed down through to the current vendor she was able to provide a lovely black and white photograph of the original owner of the desk for whom it was bought as a gift. On auction day the desk was bought online by a local antiques dealer for £1,000 - still a very reasonable price for such an eye-catching item of fine quality. Smiths’ next sale is on the 30th of August. It is a particularly good sale to enter items into as prices are always high after the summer lull. The sale features a special section for Oriental items but also includes the usual spread of antiques including ceramics, silver, jewellery, furniture paintings and collectables.

Local Day Out
A visit to Highgrove Royal Gardens
Gardens that feed the soul, warm the heart and delight the eye Earlier on this year, Love Local Magazines had the pleasure to attend an invitationonly event at Highgrove Gardens, the private gardens surrounding the residency of TRH The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall in Tetbury, Gloucestershire. The event included a very informative and well-presented 90-minute tour of the gardens and a delicious afternoon tea in the beautiful Orchard Room. It is hard to believe that when The Prince of Wales first arrived at Highgrove in 1980, the garden consisted only of a brown path, a lawn, a few thorn bushes and an oak tree, which left the house very exposed to the countryside and little room for privacy.
Greeting visitors today, however, is a completely different scene. The Georgian building of neo-classical design (which dates back to 1825 and, following a fire, was rebuilt in 1894) is now surrounded by a series of 18
interlinked, highly individual organic gardens, boasting a rich variety of flora and fauna.
While the gardens have been created and developed with the help from some of Britain’s finest designers (Head Gardener, Debs Goodenough, among them), they very much reflect The Prince’s own designs and gardening ideals. All gardens are run in an environmentally sustainable way and revolve around the principles of organic gardening, composting and recycling. HRH The Prince of Wales likes to get actively involved in the gardening process and maintains a close relationship with his gardeners, many of whom have worked at the gardens for years.
'A garden is a reflection of a person's soul' HRH The Prince of Wales The Royal Gardens have a very private and intimate feel about them. They are truly unique and reflect a deep commitment to nature. Unlike many other gardens of this scale,
which are open to the public, the gardens at Highgrove are kept very natural and pure, nothing is overly manicured or pruned.
Each garden has a variety of imaginative and sometimes playful elements and personal touches to it. One horticultural practice The Prince of Wales is particular fond of is topiary - from eccentric geometric shapes, to crowns, elephants, and even snails - at Highgrove Royal Gardens you can find it all! There are also many cultural influences to be found. Plaques, busts, sculptures, pots, vases and other decorative items from around the world, usually gifted to The Prince of Wales on his travels, have found creative ways into the gardens. We thoroughly recommend a visit, even if you have been before as the gardens are constantly changing.
Tours take place from April to October each year and need to be pre-booked at www.highgrovegardens.com. This year, for the first time, visitors are allowed take photographs of specific parts of the gardens.
All proceeds from the sale of Highgrove products, garden tours and events are donated to The Prince of Wales's Charitable Foundation whose aim it is to transform lives and build sustainable communities.

Add Some Vertical Interest Whether your garden is large or small, long, wide or has a completely uneven shape, you can guarantee that it will benefit from having some height added to it – and what better way to do this than by erecting an arch or arbour? The great thing is that, of course, any vertical structure you install in your garden makes for a new planting opportunity too… So what are the advantages of a bit of vertical structural interest (aside from the plants it can support) and how can you make the very best of them in your garden? Position an arbour so that it overlooks a good view or particularly attractive part of the garden and you instantly create a fabulous place to sit and relax. You can also use an arch or even an arbour as a means of dividing your garden into one or more rooms. This age-old designer’s trick can make your garden seem a lot larger and more interesting. Chosen carefully, arches and arbours themselves are good looking and can be a feature in their own right, so don’t 22
necessarily go for the first one you see; shop around and remember that if you clothe them with climbers, you are adding to their appeal.
Some plants look great but others have another secret ingredient: scented climbers, like some of the rambling or climbing roses, or honeysuckle or jasmine, can totally transform the whole garden as their perfume wafts out for you to enjoy.
If an arbour is situated in a sunny spot and you have fairly free-draining soil, why not plant an area around it with lavenders? Then you can enjoy both the way it looks and the perfume and aromatic leaves as you sit and relax after a stressful day. In sunny positions, thymes or camomile can be used to great effect on the approach to your archway or arbour – when your feet gently crush the thyme or camomile lawn, a fantastic aroma will be released.
Arches and arbours are available in a wide range of materials, but by far the most popular are those made from wood or metal.
To a large extent, it is a case of shopping around to find something that suits your garden style, the purpose you have in mind for it and, of course, your budget. I am a great fan of wood or metal because I find that they both fit in well with the sort of gardening style I like and, of course, you can always use one of the numerous and readily available wood stains or paints to transform it from its natural subtly coloured state to a bright blue, rich red or pretty well any colour you fancy!
Although it is possible to construct an arch or an arbour from scratch yourself, you will be amazed at the range of readymade arbours and kits for both arches and arbours that are now available. If you choose wood, do ensure that it is a wood which is either naturally going to resist decay – western red cedar or a hardwood
such as oak would be my first choice, with Douglas fir or larch a close second. Alternatively, you can choose a softwood which has been tanalised or pressuretreated with a wood preservative, which will usually be somewhat cheaper.
By choosing a wooden arch, perhaps with a rounded top and trellis up the sides, you ensure a really good planting space, and this somewhat more rustic look fits in well with a particularly informal garden. Many of these are also relatively inexpensive and easy to install.
To find out just what’s available, it is well worth paying a visit to several local garden centres or taking a look at mailorder products from the numerous arch and arbour websites, which make window shopping even easier! By Pippa Greenwood

PUZZLE ANSWERS SUDOKU (p. 12)
Most beachgoers will have an enjoyable and relaxing time when they visit the beach this summer but who can help if something goes wrong? RNLI Lifeboat Volunteers can respond within minutes and often save lives close to the shore, but sometimes seconds count. This is where RNLI Lifeguards play a vital role as they can respond instantly if dangers develop. A good lifeguard's work is preventative; many lives have already been saved by their vigilance. When you’re heading to a beach, we urge you to visit a Lifeguarded Beach. Make sure you and your family have a safe and fun trip to the coast. If lifeguards are on patrol, then you’ll need to know your flags: RED AND YELLOW FLAG Lifeguarded area. Safest area to swim/bodyboard. BLACK AND WHITE CHEQUERED FLAGS For surfboards, stand-up paddleboards, kayaks and other non-powered craft. Launch and recovery area for kitesurfers and windsurfers. Never swim or bodyboard here. RED FLAG Danger! Never go in the water under any circumstances when the red flag is flying.

During offshore or strong wind conditions. Never use inflatables when the windsock is flying. During the hot weather, you are reminded of the dangers of swimming in rivers, lakes, quarries, etc. The water is very cold and jumping in can cause “Cold Water Shock” which can be deadly.

A happy ending for Catro and Torez Today we would like to introduce you to two of our slightly special, longerthan-intended residents - Catro and Torez. Torez was handed in on Easter Sunday having been found on the roadside with a badly broken right hind leg and a dislocated left hip. He was admitted for treatment and scanned for a chip which, to our relief, he had. Unfortunately, he wasn't registered to anyone and the company that chipped him had no record of him.
Delaying treatment while finding his owner would have been against Torez's best interest and after assessing him it was found that due to the severity of his injuries the only fair course was for Pip to amputate his right hind leg and have his left hind leg operated on two days later to improve his comfort.
shown to each other their joyful greetings confirmed it. Since then Catro and Torez have been convalescing at the practice. Normally, the New Start Cat Rescue kindly takes in all cats whose owners have not come forward after 7 days, but the practice team grew very fond of the boys so on this occasion has tried to home them from the practice. We are very happy to report that Catro and Torez will soon be going to a new home.
Despite a long road, it is a happy ending for the boys but also a reminder to make sure your pet's chip details are up to date! Plus if anyone else is looking for a cat, please contact the New Start Cat Rescue who has lots of lovely cats and kittens waiting for a new home.
The day after his operation, in an unusual twist, another cat was handed in, this time unhurt but from the same area as Torez. He was the same age, also black and white and unfortunately also had an unregistered chip. We suspected that the two boys might be brothers and when

Pupils to enjoy new outdoor play equipment
M
A school in Newent has received a funding boost from a local housebuilder to help breathe new life into its outdoor play area. The Federation of Newent Schools received a donation of £500 from Bellway, which is building new homes nearby at Picklenash Grove, off Ross Road. The money will be used to purchase new outdoor equipment to use in the school’s woodland area.
Headteacher Tony Larner said: “We are really grateful to have received this generous donation from Bellway, which will help us to develop our outdoor learning provision. The pupils love playing and learning outdoors, and we are looking forward to creating an inspiring space which the children will be able to enjoy for many years to come.” Billie Oaten, Sales Director for Bellway Wales, said: “We are committed to supporting local schools within the areas in which we build new homes. So when we found out the school were hoping to transform its outdoor play area, we were more than happy to help.” For more information on the new homes see www.bellway.co.uk.
