Being a mother is one of the highest salaried jobs... since the payment is pure love. ~Mildred B. Vermont With Mother’s Day approaching I thought I would look for a quote about mothers this month and came across this lovely one. Being a Mum can be hard at times (particularly during half term which is when I am writing this)! However the rewards are many and varied, from the thrill of first steps, to the satisfaction of children spreading their wings as independent young people and then moving on to creating families of their own. As Mother’s Day approaches give a thought for all Mums at whatever stage of motherhood they may be. Even though I no longer have my Mum to treat, Mother's Day for me serves as a reminder to keep my memories of my Mum alive and reminds me to really cherish the time I spend with my children. I am therefore conscious that there will be many people who will especially miss their Mums on this day so my thoughts are with you.

So, what else is happening in March? We have so many events this month - Newent is a busy place! There are markets, courses, 'Flicks in the Sticks', Coffee Mornings, Jazz & Music - just look through the What's On section and get involved! Information about U3A meetings for the older generation is on p12.

We have a fantastic new regular monthly feature Auction Anecdotes - written by Rita Kearsey, Manager of Smiths Auction Room at Newent.

Find Rita's first Anectode she shares with us on p7.

Once again we've had a lot of competition entries, and our February winners are Helen Watkins who wins the Country Corner Voucher, and Sandie Middleton who has won the Newent Tandoori Meal Voucher.

Congratulations! This month we have a very exciting prize to give away. Two Tickets & Coach Travel to The X Factor Live on 28th March at the LG Arena, Birmingham, in association with Marchants Coaches!

This competiton can be found on p25.

Auction Anecdotes For an introduction to this new monthly feature on antiques I thought I would talk about a rare Henry VI coin which was sold recently at Smiths Auction Rooms for £5000.

The coin was discovered by metal dectectors on farmland in Tewkesbury and entered into the coin section of our January Antiques Sale.

The lucky find was dug up just a couple of miles from the celebrated battle of Tewkesbury of 1471 and this made an attractive story for coin collectors in so far as it was easy to imagine that the coin had been lost by one of the many nobility who made their way to or from the battlefield that day. The battle was historically important because Henry VI lost to Edward IV and was subsequently imprisoned in the Tower of London and later murdered.

The coin, which is commonly called a ‘gold angel’ due to the image of an angel killing a dragon to one side, had a nasty crease down one side – possibly caused in the heat of the battle but more probably by a tractor ploughing the field!

The eventual buyer stayed overnight near Newent in order to view and bid on the coin on sale day and buy it for his collection.

Smiths hold two coin sales per year and employ a specialist coin consultant - so perhaps it is time to dig up any old coins that you may have lying around the house or attic and find out how much they could be worth.

For all enquiries please telephone 01531 821776 or see our website www.smithsnewentauctions.co.uk.

ITALIAN FAMILY NIGHTS OUT AT “THE ITALIAN KITCHEN” WITH GIOVANNI AND PERLA CELINO The Patisserie and Tea Rooms now provides a place for them to create savoury and sweet products such their own cakes, hot and cold meals, pastries deserts and ice cream dishes.

John, otherwise known as Giovanni, is proud of his Italian roots. His great grandfather came to the UK in around 1890 and set up an ice cream business and indeed his family still runs Celino’s Trattoria and Delicatessen in Glasgow.

John very keenly felt the lack of a traditional Italian Bistro in his local area.

He felt that such a restaurant would attract people to Newent and he was keen to showcase his Italian cooking.

Tea Room by day and Italian Bistro by night...

The Cake Box Tea Rooms in Broad Street, Newent is run by John and Pearl Celino.

It is a Tea room and Patisserie by day and becomes the ‘Italian Kitchen Bistro’ by night.

John and Pearl decided to take the plunge.

So... after closing on Friday and Saturday afternoons the Cake Box is transformed into The Italian KItchen!

John and Pearl become Giovanni and Perla, patrons of the Italian Kitchen.

John and Pearl Celino, who are the patrons of these ventures, started out some years ago making cakes as a hobby. This became a success and, as seems to be unusual for retired people these days, they decided to set up shop.

They are proud to offer a wonderful Italian menu (which is changed every month), and a place to sit and enjoy marvelous Italian cooking in a homely Italian atmosphere.

Serving such mouthwatering dishes as Antipasta Misto, Pollo allla Arrabbiata and Sicilian Lemon Tart.

To ensure they knew what they were doing they both took cake decorating and catering courses and then both acquired Diplomas in Patisserie and Pastry. They are now qualified Professional Chefs and Patissierres.

You should note that The Italian Kitchen does not have an alcohol licence so you have to bring your own, however this is easily obtained locally at such places as Cobblers in Church Street.

Their venture started out as a Patisserie in The Shambles in Newent and, as there was a demand for a cafe, quickly became the original Courtyard Cafe.

The bistro has become so popular that Giovanni and Perla are looking to open Thursday evenings as well.

As one of the first businesses in the Old Shambles when the museum closed, it was instrumental in setting up and creating what is now the Old Shambles Shopping Village.

The Italian Kitchen, Broad Street, Newent - Bookings 07783 231107 or call in at the Cake Box Tea Rooms.

- Written by Colin Thomas

The Patisserie and Cafe was so successful that they required larger premises and eventually chose an old 16th Century Forge in Broad Street Newent, changing the business name to its current name, the Cake Box Tea Rooms and Patisserie.

They were so taken by the style and age of the building that, when refurbishing the building, they decided to retain and preserve as much of the history as possible in the beams and black and white character. It now has a wonderful ‘olde worlde’ feel about it.

As well as being keen to retain the character of the building, inside and out, John and Pearl are very keen to promote and use all local produce as far as possible and consider their businesses are based on this.

Newent Plant Centre Celebrates their 5th Birthday When Mark & Kate opened in March 2009, they had a clear vision of what the Plant Centre should offer.

“We both were passionate about plants”, said Mark. “We wanted to offer a fantastic range of plants, grown by ourselves & local specialist growers.”

Inspirational displays & a “Collector’s Corner” of unusual delights soon started to develop. “We wanted to share our enthusiasm & knowledge” said Kate “on all aspects of gardening.”

“Our customers are always thrilled when we are recognized for our achievements” added Kate, “they all feel part of it too and that makes it all worthwhile!”

When you visit, you won’t be disappointed. A vast array of colourful evergreen Heuchera, Heucherella & Tiarella, all grown on the nursery await you.

As part of their Birthday Celebration Weekend, on March 8th & 9th Newent Plant Centre will have various special offers including a wide range of shrubs & perennials for only £5. Perfect to kick start your gardening season!

The stunning garden displays, lovingly set out, will feed your imagination, creating a wealth of ideas to suit the novice & experienced gardener alike.

It’s no wonder that Newent Plant Centre has won a number of RHS medals including Gold over the last 5 years. “We have been delighted to win several awards in the last 5 years; Retailer of the Year and Customer Service awards for our work at the Plant Centre as well as Gold medals at Three Counties Show & Monmouthshire Show.” commented Mark.

Why not sample the warm welcome & friendly advice that awaits you from this family business. It doesn’t matter if you only have a patio, little plot or an acre, there will be something to excite you!

Newent Plant Centre has a superb range of herbs, vegetable plants, fruit bushes & trees. Ample free parking & a carry to the car service, with a smile!

Happy 5th birthday!

Ofsted ‘Good’ for Newent Community School and Sixth Form Centre Just twelve months on after being placed in Special Measures, Newent Community School and sixth Form Centre has now been judged ‘good’ following the HMI led Ofsted inspection on 23rd and 24th January 2014.

The school was judged ‘good’ in all four Ofsted judgement categories describing the “relationships between staff and students as excellent” and saying that “students say they feel safe and well cared for” as well as making “good progress”.

The Ofsted report praises the Headteacher, Kirsten Harrison, as “instrumental” in the school’s rapid improvement , citing her “attention to detail and determination that nothing but the best is acceptable for the students in the school” as key to improving the quality of teaching and achievement at the school.

The inspectors praised specifically the “highly effective” teaching of students who arrive at the school in Year 7 so they are supported to “make rapid progress” and the attitudes of students in lessons as “good and often excellent”. It went on further to praise the “standards of art and drama as outstanding” which “do much to enhance students’ cultural awareness and spiritual development”.

Having addressed all the areas of weakness from the original Ofsted inspection, the report goes on to show that the school has addressed all the areas of concern : “the quality of marking is good”, “most able students respond well to the challenge in lessons to make good progress” and “additional support for less able students and those with special educational needs means now all students make good progress.”

U3A Monthly Meetings Newent & District University of the Third Age (U3A) has been running for over a year now in Newent and are part of a national organisation of over 300,000 members with charitable status and locally we have 160 members.

Newent & District U3A (University of the Third Age) is for retired /semi-retired people to share interests, activities and skills in self-help groups. Over twenty groups already running include walking, languages, lunch club, geology, craft, theatre and concert trips and National Trust visits.

Monthly Meetings with a speaker are held at the Memorial Hall on the third Tuesday of the month at 10.30 - 12.00 and admission is £2 to cover the speaker's donation to charity and the hire of the hall.

Visitors are welcome. Enquiries - 01531 820826 or newentu3amembership@gmail.com.

Kirsten Harrison, Headteacher, said she was “delighted with the outcome as it recognised the great work the school had done over the last 12 months”.

She quoted the report saying that “the school now has ‘clear purpose and ambition’ and we will build on the work of the last year to go from strength to strength.”

The full report can be accessed via the School’s website at www.newent.gloucs.sch.uk.

Forest Senior Cup tie Newent RFC will play Berry Hill on Wednesday April 2nd at Newent Rec - kick of is 6.30 pm.

Come along to support the Green Army! Hot drinks will be available.

New Posts for Newent RFC Newent RFC have purchased a set of new posts and created a second pitch at the Recreation Ground, courtesy of permission from Newent Town Council. Recently, the main pitch has deteriorated badly because of the high level of rainfall and as many as three rugby matches being played on it over a weekend.

The club runs a 1st, 2nd and Ladies XV as well as under 16, under 13 and mini teams. To try and run all these teams with just one pitch was proving almost impossible and so the second pitch is a welcome asset to the club and will give the main pitch more time to recover after matches.

The first match to be played on the new pitch will be the 2nd XV game against Stroud 2nd XV on Saturday 1 March, 2.30pm kick off.

Hot-Pot & Quiz Night at Taynton & Tibberton Village Hall Saturday 12th April 2014, starts at 7.30pm.

Cost is £6.50 per person to include a hot supper.

To purchase tickets please contact Chris Coble Tel: 01452 790679 or Moira Norwood Tel: 01452 790647.

Bring your own drinks. Raffle on the night!

Auction of Promises for St Mary's Newent Restoration Project Saturday 29th March 2014. Viewing from 6.30pm.

What happened in... ...March 1994?

South Tower. This failed to happen but six people were killed and over 1,000 injured.

During joint operations between the US Army and Air Force on the 24th March, two planes collided over a military airfield. A two-seater Fighting Falcon struck a Hercules transporter at an altitude of about 300 feet. The damaged Hercules managed to land safely and the fighter pilots ejected from their doomed aircraft, which crashed onto the runway causing massive damage, including the destruction of another transport plane. Twenty four men on the ground were killed and over eighty were injured.

4th: Nearly eight years before the Twin Towers were destroyed, four Muslim terrorists were convicted of bombing the World Trade Center.

A truck bomb was detonated beneath the North Tower, with the intention of causing it to fall into the

9th: The IRA fired five mortar bombs from a car in the car park of the Excelsior Hotel at Heathrow. Two of them landed on the northern runway, which was closed for ninety minutes. None of the bombs exploded.

27th: The Eurofighter, named Typhoon, made its first flight in Manching, Germany. Development of this aircraft began in 1983 and it was designed to be in service until the midtwenty-first century. Initially a collaboration between the UK, Germany, France, Spain and Italy production was delayed by political issues and eventually France withdrew from the project. It was not used in combat until the intervention in the Libyan conflict in 2011.

A Touch of the Orient

by Pippa Greenwood

As the new gardening year is under way, is it time to embark on a new era in your garden?

It can be really refreshing to have a change of style, not necessarily in your whole garden but perhaps you could create a different and contrasting feel in a small part of your plot to the rest of your well-loved garden?

The Japanese style is largely very simplistic and aims to create a relaxed, calm environment. In any garden you’re going to need walls, fences, pathways and so forth, and if you use natural materials such as wood or of course bamboo, they blend in better with the surroundings of an existing or a newly planned garden and instantly help to create that oriental feel.

Provided the surface is made relatively slip-proof, a small bridge can be created quite easily using a simple plank of wood, allowing you to cross over an existing or new pond or other water feature. Stain the wood an interesting colour: perhaps even bright Japanesestyle red if you’re feeling daring.

Thinking of water, why not create your own ‘deer chase’?

All you need to set up is a source of water powered by a pump, then allow the water to pour out from a bamboo spout and then into another hollowed out piece of bamboo. As the weight of the water increases Page 18

in the hollowed out bamboo it causes it to tip and to swivel around slightly. Once filled up it then tilts downwards and pours its water into the basin or bowl beneath. When empty it clunks back into position. If you want something even simpler, then buy some wide diameter bamboo canes, hollow one out, cut the end at an angle and simply create a trickling water spout. Provided you fix everything up with a pump, the water can then be recycled around from the bowl or basin and back into the trickling pipe.

Gravelled areas raked into simple patterns resembling waves or entire circles also help to create a Japanese feel.

These can take up the majority of the garden space, be a relatively small area or perhaps link your existing garden into the Japanese ‘room’ that you have created. Concentric rings of raked gravel or sand look particularly dramatic if you place a sizeable, interestingly shaped boulder, stone or specimen plant in the centre of the middle circle.

When it comes to plants there are several which instantly help to evoke that Japanese effect.

The so-called Japanese maples with their intricately divided leaves epitomise Japanese gardens and many will turn brilliant shades in the autumn.

Japanese azaleas too can be used to great effect and can

bring in some of those really bright colours which look so good for the relatively simple garden surrounding them. Pine trees may be too large for most gardens, but you can gradually bend the stems of a smaller one to create a bonsai effect.

Of course, if you’re a collector of bonsai then most of these trees actually enjoy spending the summer outside in a garden and provided they are kept adequately maintained, will look great in your Japanese garden.

A trip down to your local garden centre is bound to supply you with a few oriental-themed containers. Plant one or two of these up with a small acer, camellia, miniature azalea or miniature bamboo and you will really help to complete that oriental touch.

Visit Pippa’s website www.pippagreenwood.com for a great range of gardening-related items including ‘Grow Your Own with Pippa Greenwood’ veg growing system, electronic cat and fox deterrents, lots of slug controls, Pippa’s favourite weeding tool, and many other useful garden items.

Why Us? Having provided professional Estate Planning services in the Gloucestershire area for a number of years we became aware that many retired clients were confused by financial & legal jargon and didn’t know where to turn for quality advice.

So that is why we launched Total Later Life Solutions, a unique personal service, offering comprehensive advice to enable clients to plan effectively for themselves and their families' future in the privacy of their own homes, with people they can trust.

What We Offer • Bespoke Will Writing Service • Advice on pre-paid Funeral Plans • Lasting Power of Attorney • Assistance with Personal Taxation • Assistance with Estate Administration & Probate Services We make sure peace of mind and affordability go hand in hand and that our services provide a convenient and cost effective alternative to those offered by other providers.

Confused by financial and legal jargon?

Want to discuss protecting you and your families future but don’t know where to go for

quality advice?

We are an established Gloucestershire company whose aim is to help you make some of the most important

choices in retirement as simple as possible.

We provide a professional home based service offering advice on Wills, Lasting Power of Attorney, Funeral Plans and assistance with Personal Taxation and Probate.

If you need specialist advice, such as Financial Planning and Equity Release we have links with trusted local professionals.

Page 20

Why Plan?

By writing a Will, clients put themselves in control of how their wealth is ultimately distributed and give themselves the peace of mind which comes with knowing they have done everything they can for those they care about the most.

We will advise you about the options available and help you find the right solution to achieve what you want.

50+ Funeral Plans We work with Golden Charter the UK’s largest independent funeral plan provider.

Over 60% of funerals in the UK are carried out by independent funeral directors, many of whom are family run businesses who have served their communities for generations. We believe this offers you a local, personal service that makes a difference.

Back in 2004, an average funeral cost around £1,920.

However, recent research* shows the average cost of a funeral in the UK is now £3,456 - an increase of 80% in nine years, well above the general level of inflation.

If this trend continues, the average cost of a funeral in 2022 will be over £6,220. * Source - Sun Life Direct Cost of Dying Survey 2013

Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA's) An LPA is an essential legal document which helps protect your interests during your lifetime. Many people consider it as important as a Will and see it as one of the final pieces in the process of planning and protecting their estate.

Whilst a Will describes what happens when you die, you seldom think about who would manage your affairs, or make decisions regarding your welfare, should you not be able to do so yourself.

We will be pleased to take you through the process of setting up LPA's and registering them with the Office of the Public Guardian.
