Sew Easy to Volunteer

We talk to Cathrine Moon, area co-ordinator of Project Linus about how she has turned her hobby into rewarding volunteer work, helping local communities. About Project Linus NITTERS and quilters have always made quilts and blankets to give to those less fortunate than themselves. Boatloads of quilts were sent to the UK from Canada in World War 2 for those who had lost everything to the bombing raids. In the 50’s Girl Guide troops knitted hundreds of squares to be made into Red Cross blankets for the refugees who were fleeing the Russians. In the 80’s, when the horrors of the Romanian regime were discovered there was a drive to make quilts for the orphans there. And so it goes on with other conflicts creating refugees throughout the world.

So what is different about Project Linus? On Christmas Eve 1995 in the USA, an article appeared in Parade Magazine entitled ‘Joy

to the World’ by Pulitzer Prize winning Photojournalist, Eddie Adams. Part of the article featured a petite, downy haired child who had been going through intensive chemotherapy and her security blanket had helped her get through the treatments. Karen Loucks, who had just learnt to crochet, decided to provide home-made security blankets to Denver’s Rocky Mountain Children’s Cancer Centre. Lots of such quilts and blankets have been made before, but these efforts appeared in her emails to friends, which appeared on a web site, which was seen by lots of other knitters and quilters who wanted to join in. So they decided to organise themselves. They set up a web site with ideas and links to patterns, suppliers willing to offer discounts and other potential collaborators. Chapters were set up in lots of towns and cities providing things

I discovered Project Linus several years ago and it was wonderful to turn my hobby – sewing and knitting – into a community effort 6 YOUR LOCAL CROWD

for their own local hospitals, and then to children’s homes and other places where there were sick or traumatised children needing comfort. After hurricane Katrina, volunteers loaded up their cars with blankets and quilts and drove down to deliver them to those who had lost everything to the floods. Project Linus was named after the security blanket toting character from the Peanuts comic strip. The late Charles Schultz, its creator, was pleased to have Linus inspired blanket makers to help sick and traumatised children. Project Linus was brought to the UK in March 2000 by Ann Salisbury-Jones whose sewing group started making quilts for their local child cancer ward. The idea quickly spread through

My own five children and 10 grandchildren had all been recipients of my handiwork over the years, and now I can continue to make quilts etc while making a difference. Win Win!!

groups associated with the Quilters Guild of the British Isles. Again the web site and email helped spread the ideas and put people in touch with one another. We were especially lucky to receive publicity and support from Popular Patchwork who featured Project Linus in their magazine and provided some sponsorship to enable us to set up a central organization. Creative Exhibitions, who run the Festival of Quilts, were kind enough to give us a free stand where we could give out information. Women’s Weekly also ran a feature which elicited an enormous response as people brought patchwork blocks to the stand in 2003.

It was a real challenge for the volunteers piecing these together into quilts! More locally Your Local Crowd has been a great supporter, helping to bring us to the attention of more volunteer makers. For a couple of years we just gave out suggestions for patterns from our stand, but in 2007 Creative Exhibitions asked us to run another block theme to create some ‘buzz’. This was ‘animal alphabet’ which was very successful, resulting in some 4,000 blocks and nearly 100 little quilts and blankets. In 2008 the theme was ‘All that Jazz’ to appeal to teenagers. Many people have associated Project Linus with baby quilts, but that certainly is not all we do and we wanted to get that message across. We were given 1,200 blocks but also received 70+ quilts mostly full sized ones for the teenagers. Many of these were exquisitely worked. I received a thank you letter from the mother of a ‘special needs’ teenager who said she had never seen anything so beautiful as the quilt we sent to her son. We now have coordinators for most areas of the UK, although there are still a few gaps and some coordinators are trying to cover areas which are too large for comfort. Everyone working on Project Linus is a volunteer and most pay their own expenses, or cover them by giving talks to local sewing groups, WI’s

and the like. Some have solicited donations from local businesses such as the Waitrose community support programme, fund raising organisations, such as Rotary, or councils to buy fabric and wadding, and do some fund raising activities like coffee mornings and sales of scrap fabric. Some of the coordinators have now set up little groups to

Children who are ill or traumatised love to cuddle under a security quilt/blanket and a Linus Quilt is “A Hug They Can Keep” share the work, along the lines of the ‘chapters’ of Project Linus in the USA. They may also run beginners workshops, or Linus workshop days. Here in this area I hold LINUS DAYS at the Teifi Boating Club, where volunteers come and work on making quilts, with all the materials provided – just bring your sewing machine! We are now registered as a Community Interest Company to provide accountability for our fund raising activities and the way the money is spent on fabrics for our volunteer makers to use. The officers of the CIC are still volunteers and Project Linus has now made it across the world to Australia. Quilts and blankets go to a wide range of places. The destinations are determined by local need. All types and sizes can be used, but some places have specific requirements. For example, some premature baby units want cotton wadding, feeling that it is more breathable and, as that can be expensive, Project Linus gives out that wadding, which is provided free by a wonderful business, The Warm Company, shipped in from America. Social Services place quilts into normal domestic situations. As the local coordinator I am contacted for both collecting quilts and blankets and donating them to the various places in the area.

8 YOUR LOCAL CROWD

We provide blankets for all ages from premature babies to teenagers starting out on their own and wanting bed quilts. A quilt to wrap a very premature baby needs to be only 18” square. Various sizes around 24” – 48” (square or rectangular) are very popular. We appreciate a wide range of colour schemes too. Incubator covers should be of pale calm colours, while teenagers or visually impaired children often appreciate quilts that are very bright. Football teams, racing cars and wild animals

or dinosaurs are popular with boys, while girls often like pink. Teenage colour schemes are not only wanted in full bed size as teenagers in wheel chairs need lap quilts. Why do volunteers get involved? Well I can only speak for myself. I have had five children and am about to have my 10th grandchild. All of my babies have been healthy and happy and continue to be so, apart from the usual bumps, bruises, coughs and colds. I know just how lucky I am, and when I deliver the quilts to the Special Baby Unit and to the Children’s Wards at Glan Gwili and to the various Refuges in my area I deeply appreciate how lucky I have been and feel grateful that I am able to give something back to my community. I have a wonderful network of ladies, both individuals and in crafting groups who make beautiful quilts from their own funds to give away and every one is so well received. From 2000 to date, we have delivered over 272,203 quilts and blankets throughout the UK to children in need of a hug and the numbers are rising each year. The need for blankets and quilts continues apace Area Co-oridnator Cathrine Moon www.projectlinusuk.org.uk projectlinusuk@hotmail.co.uk cathmoon7@aol.com 01239 614672

Show violence the Red Card

A top international referee is backing a Dyfed-Powys Police campaign aimed at showing violence the red card during the UEFA Euro 2016 football championship.

IGEL Owens, from Mynyddcerig in Carmarthenshire, has launched the force’s Show Violence the Red Card campaign with photos of him holding up the campaign branded red cards using downloadable versions on his mobile phone. The referee-style red cards emblazoned with the messages ‘drink aware’ and ‘show domestic violence the red card’ have been produced to provide a light-hearted, interactive way to deliver serious messages. The campaign encourages football fans to be mindful of how much alcohol they’re drinking and how they’re behaving to prevent violence whether out at a pub, a football club or in the comfort of their own homes. Nigel Owens said: “I’m supporting the Dyfed-Powys Police’s Show Violence the Red Card campaign. This is such an exciting time for Wales but it’s easy for emotions to run high and tempers to flare, especially if people have drunk too much alcohol. I’d encourage people to enjoy themselves during Euro 2016 but be careful, stay in control, be the bigger person and

walk away from any trouble. Come on Wales!” The red cards are being distributed to licensees that will be showing the Euro 2016 games. Bar staff and customers will be encouraged to hold up a red card if they see any inappropriate behaviour to stop it escalating to violence. Members of the public are also invited to get involved in the campaign by posting photos of themselves holding up the campaign red cards on the Dyfed-Powys Police Facebook and Twitter pages using #redcardtoviolence. The images are available on the force’s Twitter and Facebook profiles or website. Inspector Jolene Mann said: “Wales’s football fans have waited a long time to support their home nation in a major tournament and are understandably excited. Having a drink while enjoying the football is all part of the Euro 2016 experience for many and we don’t want to stop fans socialising and having fun. “However, excessive alcohol can lead to violence and domestic violence so we’re launching the Show Violence the Red Card campaign to

Be the bigger person and walk away from any trouble

provide a light-hearted intervention to stop poor behaviour from escalating to violence. I encourage football fans to drink at their own pace, remain in control of their behaviour and stay out of trouble.” Police will be patrolling local communities to ensure the tournament is enjoyed safely by all. Any inappropriate behaviour could result in arrest and being banned from all pubs and clubs signed up to the Behave or be Banned scheme. Where police receive reports of violence or domestic abuse incidents, police officers will take positive action and perpetrators will be arrested. Victims of domestic abuse will be provided with support safeguard them against further abuse. Read more from Dyfed-Powys Police at www. yourlocalcrowd.co.uk

Guide

10 reasons to support your With the St Dogmaels Local Producers Market winning this year’s BBC Radio 4 Food & Farming Awards as one of Britain’s ‘Best Food Markets’ we thought it was worth mentioning some of the other local food and producers’ markets that we’re lucky enough to have thriving around West Wales. But what’s so great about local markets? We’ve come up with 10 great reasons to get behind these cornerstones of local community life.

1. A CONNECTION TO THE LAND YOU CALL HOME There’s something incredibly satisfying about putting food on your plate that has been grown, reared or otherwise produced close to where you live. It ties you to the land you call ‘home’. 2. TASTE LOCAL You’ll find that many local producers specialise in rearing rare breed animals with a local connection. You’ll be eating fruit and veg varieties that grow best in the local soils, and finding crafts rooted in or inspired by the local landscape. Whether you’re a visitor or live in an area, buying from a local producers’ market is a great way to taste local. 3. CUT DOWN THOSE FOOD MILES Food miles are a big issue. There’s the environmental impact of all the transport involved, not to mention the costs. The

food you buy in the supermarket – it may well have been produced ‘locally’ but it will have been transported to a distribution centre only to come back in another lorry. Cut out the middle man and buy direct. 4. EMBRACE THE SEASONS You’re unlikely to find strawberries in December in your local farmers’

Whether you’re a visitor or live in an area, buying from a local producers’ market is a great way to taste local 10 YOUR LOCAL CROWD

market – but that’s the whole point. Buying what’s in season is a much more ethical and sustainable way of living. You’ll find the food tastes better and you can feel better about what you are buying. 5. FOOD CERTAINTY Have you ever looked at a piece of meat in a supermarket packet and wondered about the kind of life the animal had before it was shrink wrapped? Stared at some veg and thought about the fields it grew in? At a local producers’ market you will more than likely be handing over your money to the man or woman

r local producers market

and cities – the same shops, looking the same, selling the same stuff. Local markets not only offer a refreshing alternative, bringing difference and diversity to our shopping, they bring character to the local area, a sense of difference, a sense of standing out – in a good way. 9. PROMOTE LOCAL BUSINESS For small producers starting out, local food markets are a great opportunity for them to bring their produce to a wider audience, and to test out what works on a small and supportive customer base.

who reared the lamb, tended the carrots or made the cheese – or if not to their wife, husband, child or friend. The point is that you can ask about the food you are buying – and get meaningful answers. 6. SUPPORT THE LOCAL ECONOMY Money spent in the local economy – with local producers – stays within the local community. Those producers live locally and spend their own money locally. Research in 2013 showed that for every £1 spent locally with a local small or medium sized business, 63p stayed in the local economy,

compared with 40p spent in larger businesses. 7. LOVE THE COMMUNITY We all need to eat, but we all need to meet too – with others, to interact, to chat, to feel a sense of belonging. Shopping in a local market gives you those connections. And by being part of it, you support those valuable connections for others. 8. SUPPORT DIVERSITY Many of us despair at the uniform high streets we see in our towns

10. IT’S A MUCH HAPPIER SHOPPING EXPERIENCE It goes without saying that shopping at a local producers’ market will simply make you feel good. You’ll find a great atmosphere, the opportunity to taste and to chat, a relaxed approach to shopping. Good for your plate and good for your soul. It simply doesn’t compare to the faceless, bland experience offered by the supermarkets. So now we’ve convinced you that shopping at a local producers’ market really is a great idea, where can you go? We’ve pulled together a list of some of the local producers’ markets across Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire. If we’ve missed out your local market, do let us know and we’ll add it to the list!

The Pavillion Café

Penrallt Garden Centre

WORDS: Joseph Raine ROUND four and a half miles south of Cardigan you will find the village of Moylgrove. A quiet rural location with impressive cliff views and very much an appealing village for holiday makers and locals alike. Within Moylegrove there is a business which has been growing steadily for over twenty-five years. The Penrallt Garden Centre, run by the Fletcher family is one of the biggest garden centres & nursery in the local area. Drive through the lanes of Moylegrove you may think you’ll miss the garden centre, don’t be fooled, the giant plant pot man at its entrance is a great landmark, to great you on arrival. The three acre nursery site holds an enormous variety of plants and there is a large gardening shop selling everything from seeds, paving, water features to compost. It is also pet-friendly, making it a good visit for dog walkers. Within Penrallt Garden Centre is the newly built spacious, welcoming Pavilion Café with seating for up to seventy people. The café

serves morning coffee, lunches and afternoon teas. Open all year round, it’s now also serving Sunday lunches. We would recommend booking for this as it’s proving to be very popular. The café also has a Wednesday offer for senior citizens, a two course meal with a hot or cold beverage for £7.95. For lovers of afternoon tea, you’ve not been left out, tea for two at £20.00 complete with sandwiches, cakes and scones is great value and looked devine. The Pavilion Café also welcomes party bookings, and is a great space for social events! I visited midweek for lunch, and the café was bustling with people tucking into delicious lunches. After studying the full menu, I ordered the bacon, brie and cranberry Panini with a side of curly fries and a soft drink totalling a very reasonable £9.25. The warm Panini was generously packed with succulent bacon and a generous amount of brie, served with a crisp side salad and chunky creamy coleslaw. The large bowl of crisp curly fries were the perfect companion.

A great pit stop to refuel, for a sandwich, Sunday lunch, or cream tea.

If you are looking to get out of town, shopping or just out walking, the Pavillion Café is a great pit stop to refuel, for a sandwich, Sunday lunch, or cream tea. Feeling suitably satisfied, I then spent some time looking around the garden centre’s Christmas shop. We loved the penguins playing in the snow…pop in and see for yourself!

UMMER’S here, and the question is not so much ‘what to do’ as ‘what to do first’ to keep on top of the garden and ensure you have some time to enjoy relaxing outside too. Here’s our guide to some of the major jobs that need to be done. Cut the grass - Some insist on regimented stripes, while others take a more ‘free form’ approach. However you do it, cutting the grass regularly is an inevitable part of the summer. Spread the clippings in shallow layers on your compost heap, or spread them at the base of hedges to prevent weeds growing. Pest Control - If you are enjoying the warmer weather, you can guarantee that the garden pests will be out in force. Blackfly and aphids thrive in warm weather.

Greenhouse chic - Don’t forget that it’s possible for your greenhouse to get too warm. You can paint special shade paint on the panes, and if the forecast is for high temperatures, try hosing the floor in the morning to create humidity during the day.

TOP TIPS 1. Water – water everywhere! 2. Cut the grass 3. Keep an eye on the greenhouse 4. Watch out for pests 5. Regular hoeing will keep the weeds down 6. Prune your spring -flowering shrubs 7. Add instant colour with hanging baskets and summer bedding 8. Support tall or floppy plants with stakes 9. Start to harvest 10. Take advantage of drier weather for maintenance jobs

Water, water everywhere - Even with all the rain we had over the winter, the garden needs to be kept watered. Avoid watering in the heat of the day and be mindful of your overall water consumption, using rainwater stored in water butts or domestic grey water where possible.

Hoe, hoe, hoe… - The weeds will try to flourish in the summer months just as much as the plants you want to be in your garden, so regular hoeing will keep them under control. Little and often is a better approach

than blitzing everything in one hit. Clear up after Spring - Spring-flowering shrubs will be ready for pruning by June. As bedding and repeat flowering perennials get going, keep on top of dead-heading to prolong flowering. Support tall plants - Your plants and flowers will make the most of the warmer temperatures to do what they do best – grow. Make sure you keep an eye on taller plants, or those that have a tendency to flop, and stake them to avoid damage. Add instant colour - The summer is time to celebrate colour and vibrancy and planting out summer bedding and positioning hanging baskets will bring an instant holiday vibe to your garden, making everything cheerful! A lick of paint - With drier weather comes the opportunity to give a bit of TLC to any exterior woodwork, benches, picnic tables etc. Take the opportunity to add a coat of paint or wood preservative. Reap the benefits - Those of you who were organised enough to get planting early will be able to start harvesting the first crops – early potatoes, lettuces and radishes will start to become available from your plot. Above all – enjoy your garden over the next few months!

Park partnership continues A project to tackle invasive species such as Japanese knotweed in and around the Gwaun Valley is scaling new heights.

HE Stitch in Time project aims to rid the area of non-native species and has most recently focused on clearing rhododendron from the steep-sided Trecwn Valley. Rhododendron ponticum, Himalayan balsam and Japanese knotweed can out-compete native species, altering habitats and causing damage to property. The plants tend to spread along watercourses, so the project identifies drainage basins and works from the top down. To date, invasive species have been found at 120 sites, thanks to volunteer effort. The Stitch in Time project is funded by the Sustainable

Members of the public are being urged to note changes to the popular Coastal Cruiser bus timetables which are used by many local people and visitors to the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. CHANGES have been made to the timetables of the two Coastal Cruiser services (387 and 388 services), which cover the Pembroke Dock, Angle and Stackpole areas.

During the winter, efforts centred on rhododendron clearance at the northern end of Trecwn Valley. Matthew Tebbutt, the Park

The amended times mean many printed leaflets and the timetables included in the 2016 edition of the National Park Authority’s visitor newspaper Coast to Coast are now incorrect. Pembrokeshire Coast Path National Trail Officer, Theresa Nolan said: “People who are planning to reach the Pembrokeshire Coast Path or local beaches by using the Coastal Cruiser services should make sure

they check the new timetables as the majority of the pick-up times have been changed. “This includes the times for the first and last stops of the day, so we would urge people to make sure they change their plans accordingly to ensure they are able to reach their desired destination.” The Coastal Cruiser bus services stop at many popular visitor

Matthew said: “Last year, work parties strove to uproot hundreds of Himalayan balsam plants before the seed pods could mature, and cleared vegetation near stands of Japanese knotweed to make them accessible for spray and stem injection treatment. “More than 50 volunteer-days were donated to the Stitch in Time project in the 2015 treatment season. We’ve also been able to draw on expertise kindly shared by the Cemaes Himalayan Balsam Eradication projects, which were also funded by SDF.” Throughout the project to date, interest and assistance from landowners, local communities and businesses has been vital, Matthew added. Trecwn Valley Site Manager Nial Rees, the Chief Regeneration Officer of Renewable Developments Wales,

is responsible for the operation and redevelopment of The Valley and Admiralty Park, in the Haven Enterprise Zone. He welcomed the support from officers of Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority and Natural Resources Wales, highlighting the evolving relationship as part of broader woodland initiatives. He said: “This project is an excellent and practical example of landowners working in successful partnership with public sector bodies in North Pembrokeshire. Renewable Developments Wales and Trecwn Valley are committed to sustainability and biodiversity of the unique woodlands on site. Our regeneration team is currently assessing feasibility for further woodland management and restoration schemes in the valley.” To get involved or find out more about the Stitch in Time project, contact Project Co-ordinator Matthew Tebbutt on 01646 624800 or at matthewt@ pembrokeshirecoast.org.uk.

Love your leftovers. You’ve had a health kick and bought lots of fresh fruit, enough to feed an army and if like me the novelty has worn off after a few days or you simply cannot munch your way through the fresh fruit mountain occupying your fruit bowl, why not try preserving it!

Ingredients 1.5kg mashed blueberries, blackberries or raspberries 1kg granulated sugar 10g ground cinnamon 2.5g freshly grated nutmeg 85g liquide pectin (2 packets) zest and juice of 1 lemon

Method Sterilise your jam jars in boiling water Mash the berries and combine with the sugar in a large pan and bring to boil. Add the lemon zest, juice, cinnamon and nutmeg and cook for about 15-20 minutes, carefully and frequently stirring, until the jam is thick and shiny. Add the pectin and return to a gentle boil for around 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and carefully ladle into the prepared jam jars. Being carful to wipe any spillages from the rim, add the lids and place into a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Enjoy!

Warm Potato Salad with Mackerel Found in abundance around the shores of West Wales, so not difficult to find at this of year and should be extremely fresh. Check for firmness, shiny bodies and clear bright eyes. This fish can be cooked in a number of ways, grilled, barebecued, poached or even stuffed and baked. It works well with strong, spicy flavours and is complimented well with touch of acidity, from fruits such as lime, rhubarb and gooseberry. Grill the fish with nothing more than a sprinkle of sea salt and a generous squeeze of lime. I’d suggest avoiding

rich creamy sauces with this fish as it’s more than flavoursome with a few simple additions, such as lime and salt mentioned above. This fish, being very oily makes it an excellent fish for smoking. Shredded into salads or whizzed in a blender with crème fraiche, lemon juice and pepper makes a fantastic and simple smoked mackeral pate.

About 150g (5oz) broccoli, cut into smallish florets 2 teaspoons cider vinegar or wine vinegar 1-2 teaspoons coarse-grain mustard 4- 6 teaspoons olive oil 3-4 cooked baby beetroot, quartered 2 smoked mackerel fillets, total weight about 150g (5oz)

Ingredients

Method

A quick and easy summer salad Ingredients 300g (10oz) new potatoes, halved or cut into thick slices

Add the potatoes to a pan of boiling water and cook for 10 minutes, then add the broccoli florets and cook for 2-3 minutes Whisk the vinegar and mustard with the oil to make a dressing Drain the vegetables well, tip into a bowl and mix in the dressing to coat well Add the beetroot quarters and flaked mackerel Simple!

Reasons to renovate with Lime Are you renovating a building and wanting to bring it back to it’s former glory? Here Celtic Sustainables discuss the benefits of renovating with lime.

IME has been used as the binder in mortars, plasters, paints and floors for centuries. Indeed, buildings in the UK were cement free up until the 1920s. Buildings before this time would primarily have been constructed using lime. It is often thought that lime is not as “strong” as cement and therefore has no place in buildings today. However lime has other qualities and it is those qualities that have helped the old buildings to survive. As we understand indoor air quality and the impact on our health, a new generation of builders and developers are looking to incorporate lime in their new builds too, creating healthier and more sustainable homes. Lime is vapour permeable. This means that moisture can escape through the wall which helps to control condensation and damp within the building. In a sense they “breathe” absorbing moisture and then releasing it. Most modern

renders, plaster, mortars and paints are impervious and therefore trap moisture in the wall. This can lead to problems such as condensation, mould and even degradation of the fabric of the building such as rotting timber or crumbling bricks. Old buildings were designed to breathe (rather than be impermeable like most modern buildings) and therefore when they are renovated they must not be altered by the application of modern compounds such as cement, silicones, vinyl or acrylic emulsion paints and must be allowed to “breathe” or else the owner’s risk damp and mould problems. Lime is self-healing. The nature of the ground conditions and elements are such that all buildings are subject to varying degrees of movement over time. When buildings

made with lime are subject to small movements they are more likely to develop many fine cracks rather than large individual cracks which occur in stiffer cement-bound buildings, this is in part due to its good deformability i.e. it’s capability to follow the deformation of the constructions better than stiffer cement based mortars. The self-healing (or autogenous) process occurs when (rain) water dissolves calcium bearing compounds in the lime and transports them, from a zone rich in binder, to voids and cracks. In this way small cracks can be filled with re-crystallized calcium compounds, in a natural self-healing process. To find out more about paints that are great for you and the environment pop into our shop and showroom at Celtic Sustainables, Unit 9, Parc Teifi, Cardigan, SA43 1EW or go online at www.celticsustainables.co.uk.
