My Travels with the Horses 2012 

Sunday September 22nd and we are off down the A12; this time to Great 

Wakering near Southend for a ploughing match again with Nettles and Oaken. 

The usual team of Bruce, Paul and I were joined by Haley who seemed to enjoy 

the occasion. The boys performed well but a bit on the quick side for ideal 

ploughing. On another warm, sunny day we had lots of admirers and I handed 

out several leaflets. There was only one other pair of horses, shires, who along 

Russell Large 

Nettles & Oaken ploughing at Great Wakering 

with the ploughman were very experienced. I thought we did well considering 

that it was our first time ploughing this year. Hayley tried her hand at steering 

the plough and admitted it was harder work than it looked, but fun and she 

hoped to join us again. We were placed first for the turnout of our horses, for 

which we were presented with a nice cup, which for the same reasons as 

before we left with the organiser. 

The second ploughing day was 29 th September, in Essex again but this time 

towards Stansted in the village of Little Leighs. Our visit was purely an 

exhibition at a ploughing match for tractors. Yet another pleasant day and this 

time Nettles and Oaken seemed to be getting the message to slow down a bit. 

In fact I think this was the best bit of ploughing that I have seen Bruce and the 

horses do, even though the land was stony and had a lot of loose straw in 

places. It was great to see so many people interested in us and occasionally 

some of the elderly members of the public recalling the times when horses 

worked the land or pulled various carts on the outings. 

On a very wet, early Saturday morning 6th October Bruce, Paul, Eileen and I 

travelled the short distance to Trinity Park, Ipswich, to exhibit in the 



Robin Hood Country Show. We had quite short notice but agreed to attend and 

take three year old filly, Colony Vee to be the attraction. The intention was to 

Russell Large 

Colony Vee at the Country show in Trinity Park 

just attend one day as we had a previous booking at the Suffolk Horse Society 

ploughing match in Bucklesham. However soon after we put Vee in her outside 

stall, we got a message informing us of the cancellation of the match, due to 

the downpour of Friday night. For such a young horse she was so wellbehaved. 

Bruce braided her mane and tail to make her look outstanding. She 

took to the part admirably, giving an adoring public a chance to get close and 

stroke her. As the ploughing match was off we went back again on Sunday, 

where Vee was now becoming used to the role, but I think by mid-afternoon, 

she had had enough attention for one weekend and was probably happy when 

Bruce led her back to the lorry. 

I think I have learned more this year than for some time, and I eagerly look 

forward to 2014 and hope that I may be asked again to help in some way with 

the horses on their travels. I would like to thank Bruce and Paul especially for 

putting up with me, and for showing how I could help during this long season.

Our Class Millennium Frieze 

As part of our 

topic on 

Woodbridge, 

years 4, 5 and 6 

went on a third 

visit but this 

time to take a 

look at the 

Millennium 

frieze in St 

 

There they met 

Mrs Winchester 

(one of their 

volunteer 

readers at 

school) and 

Artist, Michael Coulter, shows us his original drawing of the frieze. none other than 

Michael Coulter, a local artist who drew the original drawings of the frieze 

which were then traced and sewn together to form the frieze. How did we 

discover Mrs Winchester was part of the project? 

You will have to go back a few weeks 

when Mrs Wright went to the church 

to have a look at the frieze. While 

she was observing it, she took a look 

at the names of the people involved. 

The name that struck her was Valerie 

Winchester. The next time Mrs 

Winchester was in school, Mrs Wright 

asked her whether she had been 

involved with the frieze and she 

replied with a yes then continued: I 

could arrange for Michael Coulter to 

visit the church to speak with the 

children. 

So she arranged that all by herself 

and luckily it went successfully and 

then the trip was arranged. 

We walked to the church after 

swimming so during the time of the 

 

looked official. When we got to the 

church the first thing we were told to 

do was to sit in front of Michael 



Coulter and the frieze. He explained how the frieze was made with the original 

sketches to them being traced-sewn-stuck-finished. Mrs Winchester explained 

her part of the frieze which included the border and most of the birds. One of 

an outline to it and it was our challenge to find it! Mrs 

Winchester recommended that if we did a border on our frieze, to draw wild 

flowers and maybe write our names on the border as well. 

A few days after we started to decide what to put on our class frieze, so we 

researched what had happened in Woodbridge. We then split into groups and 

were given a time to work on; Anglo-Saxons to 1500s; 1600s to the 1800s; 

1900s to 2013. 

Just before the end of term Michael Coulter came to look at our completed 

Woodbridge frieze and he said that it was great so we told him a little about 

each one and what parts we did and how we made it. 

It has been great doing a project like this and we look forward to doing more 

things like this in the future (for year 6 this will be at Farlingaye as we are 

moving on).

Greetings from All Saints Hollesley 

We hope you enjoyed the Flower Festival weekend. Our thanks go to everyone 

involved with creating the beautiful displays, producing and serving the 

delicious food, introducing us to bell-ringing and to all those of you who visited. 

Good things keep happening at our community church. We are so fortunate 

that the pews can all be moved to create large open spaces for different 

activities. On 14th August children were having fun with Messy Church 

activities, making and sailing paper boats and kites and playing games. On 

Saturday September 28th, from 12-2 pm we have Messy Church as it was first 

envisioned: a fresh expression of church for adults and their children. This is a 

chance for families to come together to have food, fun and make new friends. 

Lunch and creative activities will be provided. If you are a parent, grandparent, 

god-parent or carer we will welcome you with your child at no charge. To book 

places, contact Di 411079 or Lydia 411779. We would love to see you. 

On September 21st, at 6.30pm., we have a Barn Dance for adults and children 

in the church. Anyone who has been to one of our Barn Dances will know what 

fun they are. The caller is a very experienced teacher and soon has everyone 

up dancing. Nibbles and squash will be provided free but you may BYOD. 

For tickets (£5 adults - children no charge) contact Di 411079. 

Wishing you every blessing from the members of Hollesley Church.

The Archers! (with apologies to those who 

An everyday story of country folk 

on Radio 4). Ambridge is creating a village 

Welcome Pack a process that Boyton went 

through nearly two years ago, and we hear 

that Shottisham is now thinking about one 

 

pictures of the Golf Club, Cricket Green, village pub or posh hotel in ours! 

See http://boytonsuffolk.wordpress.com/welcome-pack/ 

Boyton 

The Group AGM was held at the end of July: 

John Carpmael as Chair, Gary Lowe as 

secretary and Andy Cassy in charge of 

finances were voted in again. Whilst our 

meetings are informal, we are constituted as 

an unincorporated association. This has the 

benefits of keeping us on track with a clear, 

stated purpose and also allows access to 

membership of other bodies and access to 

grants, without too much formality. 

Our roots are in energy saving and resilience 

in our small community. To re-focus our time 

and attention on these issues, we have agreed 

some changes going forward. The group has 

decided (with Parish Council support) to pass 

Village Welcome Pack regular village event organisation to an Event 

Working Group of the Parish Council. So 

events such as Bonfire night, the Christmas Gathering, Apple Day and Boyton 

Inn will continue. If you wish to get involved with the Event Working Group 

please let Richard Jesty (410055) or me (411717) know. 

Have you ever tried an Electricity Usage Monitor? These small devices are 

simple to use at home and show you how much electricity is used as you turn 

different appliances on and off. See how the numbers rocket up every time a 

kettle is boiled a sure way to remind us to boil only what is needed! Andy 

Cassy has one that you can borrow call him on 411720 to arrange. 

Sunday 1 st September: deadline for ordering heating oil with the Boyton Oil 

Syndicate - emailing Boyton.co2@btinternet.com or call Andy on 411720. 

Saturday 14 th September: Boyton Inn, including short, informal 

presentation by Sheenagh Day on Maison Bengal, 411717 

Saturday 28 th September: Regular meeting, 10am at Bellfield, 411409 

(rearranged from Papaver, as reported last time) All welcome as always.

Garden Party at Buckingham Palace 

The Royal Garden Party was for invited members of Forces Associations and 

serving soldiers, sailors and airmen on 2nd July 2013 as part of the Not 

Forgotten Association. Our own Roy Ravenhill was a Japanese prisoner of war, 

who lived to tell the tale. 

Julie Jolliffe 

Roy Ravenhill proudly displays his medals in the gardens of Buckingham Palace. 

The day started when Neil and I picked up Roy, bound for the Palace. Neil 

was the chauffeur for the day, how exciting! With medals gleaming, Roy and I 

handed in our invitations at the gates and were welcomed onto the forecourt of 

the Palace, it was truly amazing! 

We then had a buggy ride across the forecourt and around the back to the 

massive gardens where there were tables set out and tea, sandwiches and 

cake were served. Music was provided by the band of the Blues and Royals, 

and you could walk around the garden and admire the Palace in all its glory. 

There were young and old telling lots of stories about past experiences. One 

man spoke to Roy who was wearing his Royal Artillery cap (he was a Gunner). 

He shook his hand and said it was a pleasure to see him there. Princess Anne 

the Princess Royal was walking amongst everyone and taking time to talk to 

people too. It was a lovely experience and Roy really enjoyed himself. 

I felt privileged to be able to escort him on such a memorable day.

Boyton Parish Council by-election 

Sally Wood was elected as a new Boyton parish councillor 

in the by-election held last month, following the 

resignation of Andrew Greenwell due to pressure of work 

 

Fleetwood for taking part as candidates, as well as more 

than 60 residents who took the time to vote on the day 

this must be a record for such a small village! Thanks are 

also due to the Parish Church Council, which has agreed to 

reduce the cost of hiring the village hall by £150. 

The next meeting of the parish council will be on September 11. Please do have 

a look at the new Boyton parish council website: boyton.onesuffolk.net and 

let us know what you think. 

Richard Jesty, Chairman Boyton Parish Council 

A Casual Vacancy in Boyton 

The 

Casual Vacancy and tells the story of the turmoil that results after a parish 

s 

that. But it has been a learning curve in the workings of local democracy for 

me and many other electors of Boyton. A casual vacancy occurs when a parish 

councillor leaves the Council. This can happen for a variety of reasons: if the 

councillor resigns; fails to attend meetings for six months; is legally disbarred, 

or dies. In this case, Andrew Greenwell decided to resign. 

When a casual vacancy occurs there are two possible options: an election or 

the existing parish councillors can co-opt a new councillor. The District Council 

puts a notice on the parish noticeboard and on the website. During the next 

two weeks, voters can write in to demand that an official election take place. 

If at least ten requests are received, an election will be held. People then put 

themselves up for election. If only one person stands, they become the new 

parish councillor without an election. This means that ten people can in effect 

select a councillor without the endorsement of either the parish council or the 

electorate. Calling an election in this way is not free! Boyton Parish Council will 

be footing the bill for the services of Suffolk Coastal for over £450 - over a 

quarter of their annual income. 

If an election is not demanded, the parish council will co-opt a new councillor. 

Anyone can put their name forward and make a presentation at a meeting of 

the Council. All can attend and the parish councillors vote for the most suitable 

candidate. This process is completely free. The by-election in July was an 

unusual example of local democracy in action, but was it really worth the high 

cost to our small parish council? Thankfully it was less fraught than J.K.

Dear Editor, 

Tracks on the shingle and 

damaged sea kale are 

caught in this picture taken 

after a quad-bike was 

driven at high speed across 

the Shingle St. beach last 

month. The bike took a 

diagonal swathe over the 

stones, breaking the plants 

and leaving a careless 

waste. It is against the law 

to take wheeled machines 

of any sort onto the beach 

Quad-bike tracks on Shingle St. 

and doubly so to damage the protected plants. If readers know of any quadbike 

users who may have been riding on the beach, please inform them it is 

illegal or disagreeable action will follow.

In addition, we would like to thank the organisers of Hollesley Fete and 

everyone who attended, allowing the organisers to raise funds and share 

amongst local charities/community groups. H.A.B.S.S. are very grateful for the

Dear Editor, 

I was wondering if your readers could help me, please? What I'm after is any 

information on Fred Harding, a farm labourer, who was living in New Cottages 

in Hollesley in 1922. Fred was born in 1895 and when he was 27 he left 

England for Melbourne Australia on the 26 May 1922. I would like to know from 

your readers: is there still a place called New Cottages and is there a farm near 

by? Was there a family named Harding living in Hollesley at this time? 

I've been looking for a Fred Harding on and off for about 12 years now. I'm 

just hoping that this Fred is my Fred. Please email me at geoffisted@aol.com 

Many, many thanks, 

Geoff Isted, Sussex 

Dear Editor, 

I consider myself privileged to live at Shingle Street. People visit the area to 

enjoy the breath-taking scenery and to walk their dogs. Sadly for my family 

though, someone allowed their dog to savage and kill our much loved and 

elderly cat a few weeks ago. My poor wife found clumps of her fur in our 

garden where she used to sleep behind a little bush. Her body lay a few metres 

beyond, on the beach. We didn't see what happened but the poor cat would 

have been utterly defenceless. 

She was our pet for over 15 years and was very much part of our family. She 

would greet us when we came home from a day out, share our laps in the 

evening and take our minds off our troubles. Yes, it's sentimental, but we loved 

her. She really did not deserve to be killed by a dog. Its owner must have seen 

what happened: responsible owners keep their dogs on leads. We are brokenhearted. 

I adore dogs. It's their owners who need to be trained.

HABSS 

HABSS is a new community initiative being set up by Bev Lambert. The aim of 

the group is to respond to emergency life-threatening 999 calls within the 

villages of Hollesley, Alderton, Bawdsey, Shottisham and Sutton (HABSS). 

When a 999 call comes in, the Ambulance Service call centre operator will 

decide the category or priority of the call. If it is of a life-threatening nature 

(category A), such as severe chest pains or a stroke, they will dispatch an 

ambulance and at the same time the nearest Community First Responder. 

We are able to attend the scene of an emergency call in a very short time; 

often within the first few minutes and sometimes, we will be first on scene. As 

we are fully trained by the ambulance service, we are able to administer vital, 

life-saving first aid treatment before the arrival of an ambulance crew. Our 

e of survival by 10% for 

every minute we are there prior to the arrival of the ambulance. 

We rely on the generosity of the public and local businesses to purchase vital 

equipment such as defibrillators, uniforms and often liveried vehicles. The cost 

of each medical kit is almost £2,000. We are actively seeking donations, 

sponsorship arrangements and new volunteers to come forward to join as First 

Responders. We currently have around 10 volunteers going through the 

application process but we would like more. To help with the urgent equipment 

needed, we are organising a number of coffee mornings commencing in 

October, and we hope residents from all 5 villages will come along and support

Setting up HABSS is no small task; I have much experience in this field having 

very successfully set up the Charity Serv Suffolk & Cambridgeshire which was 

founded in 2010. I was Chairman and Trustee until May 2013 when I resigned 

in order to start HABSS to serve my immediate community. 

For further information regarding HABBS CFR Group, if you would like to make 

a donation, are a business willing to sponsor our uniform or you would like to 

volunteer as a First Responder, please email mail@habss-cfr-group.org.uk or

Boyton Mission 

He the pearly gates will open, so that I may enter in; 

For, He purchased my redemption and forgave me all my sin. 

Fred Blom wrote this hymn about his 

experiences in his prison cell. At one time he 

 

but he had fallen victim to the temptations of 

this world. Yet the love of Jesus would not let 

him go, it pursued him relentlessly, almost as 

a hunter stalks a deer and finally the arrow 

of conviction brought him down. 

Preachers for September:

(Ipswich)

It is always tragic when a Christian falls into sin because he loses his sweet 

fellowship with God and compromises his witness for Christ. Yet all of us have 

failed at one time or another. We may not have committed some grossly evil 

act but we have fallen short in word, thought or deed. How wonderful to know 

 

failures. 

Fred Blom died in prison while the gates of his prison did not swing open for 

him, he knew that the pearly gates would be swung open by his Redeemer. 

Services at 3pm will be followed by a Fellowship tea. Every blessing to you all, 

Steve and Lynda Dart 411876

Jenny Friend 

Jenny Friend was born at Capel Green in 

1943. She married Michael in 1960 and 

they settled at Moorlands, Hollesley, 

moving to 1, Duck Corner in 1968.Their 

four children, Nigel, Kevin, Tina and 

Trevor were all brought up in Hollesley 

and went to the local schools.

Jenny Friend 

In 1968 Jenny first experienced serious 

spinal problems and underwent major 

surgery followed by further stays in 

hospital. Despite this, she passed her 

driving test at 40 and was employed at 

Notcutts for 8 years up to 1994, with a 

crutch to help her at the check-out. 

A year later she was co-opted onto 

the Parish Council and was elected in 

1997. She soon became active as the 

SALC (Suffolk Association of Local Councils) representative for Hollesley and 

was their Chairman for four years. 

By this time Jenny was wheelchair bound, but she remained very active on the 

Parish Council. She was also involved in the Alde and Ore Local Strategic 

Partnership and the Deben Greenprint Forum Association. 

In the last couple of years Jenny became increasingly frail, with increasing 

breathing problems. It is a tremendous tribute to her that she rarely missed a 

meeting. During all this time Jenny was supported by her loving husband 

Michael who enabled her to do all she did: driving her around and pushing her 

wheelchair. He was her constant carer. 

Now Michael would like to fly the flag for Jenny if he is voted onto Hollesley 

Parish Council, to continue the work she did so faithfully, and to continue to 

represent the village at SALC. 

A large congregation gathered at Hollesley Church for her funeral, and already 

£350 has been donated to the in her memory, 

with more to come. 

Helen Macleod 

The team at Village Voices offer our sympathy to all the family and Michael 

and wish him well as he continues to support the village. 


Ladies give us your support! 

We need your old wearable bras to send to Africa where affordable bras are 

desperately needed. The bras will be weighed before departure, and Against 

Breast Cancer will receive a donation based on the weight of bras collected. 

Give your donated bras to any member of Hollesley WI. They will be collected 

and sent to Ipswich Hospital Breast Imaging Department.

Bawdsey Jazz Record Society 

Is anyone interested in forming a monthly 

Jazz Record Society in Bawdsey? 

I would be happy to set it up. The music could be similar to that 

heard on BBC Sum. I propose 

meeting in the Village Hall on, say, the third Thursday of the month at 7.30pm. 

Please contact Tony for further details: Tel: 01394 410353 or email:

Suffolk Link Bus 

Representatives from several parishes on 

the Wilford Suffolk Link bus route met on 

25 July at Bawdsey Village Hall to provide 

feedback for CATS Transport, who run the 

service in conjunction with Suffolk County 

Council. The Wilford service was reported 

to be easily the most popular of any 

operated by Suffolk Link, with almost 

8,500 passengers carried last year compared to around 5,000 carried by the 

next most popular route. 

In general, attendees considered the service to be good, and a recent 

independent report also found that buses were operated in friendly way, and 

were clean and safe to use. However, representatives from the larger villages 

such as Sutton Heath and Hollesley mentioned specific issues resulting from 

the need for larger scale transport services, which Suffolk Link said they would 

try to meet. Andrew Reid, SCC councillor for Wilford who chaired the meeting, 

thanked everyone for attending and suggested that it become a regular event.

From our country kitchen 

Courgette, Tomato and 

Ricotta Bake 

This is a tasty way of 

using courgettes and very 

easy to make. The recipe 

is from Nigel Slater. 

Serves 4 

1 lb courgettes 

Olive oil 

1 small onion 

1 1/2 lb tomatoes 

A handful of basil leaves 

250 g ricotta 

Pauline Austerfield 

Set the oven at 180 / Gas 4. Remove the stalks from the courgettes then slice 

them down their length into strips as thick as a pound coin. Brush them lightly 

with olive oil and grill them on both sides until tender (I fry them in a ridged 

frying pan so they look like they've been cooked on a barbecue). Remove and 

season with salt and pepper. Finely chop the onions and soften them in olive oil 

in a shallow pan. Skin the tomatoes, chop them and add to the onions, leaving 

the mixture to simmer down to a slushy sauce. Season and add the torn basil 

leaves. Layer the courgettes with the tomato sauce and ricotta in a shallow 

baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and bake until the tomato sauce is bubbling.

MACMILLAN CANCER 

SUPPORT WORLD'S BIGGEST 

COFFEE MORNING 

Saturday, 21st September 10 -12 

Jane, Christine, Sophie and Sandra 

are once again holding a coffee 

morning in aid of Macmillan Cancer. 

The venue is Jane's garden, 43 Ferry 

Road, Bawdsey, situated just past the 

village on the way to the quay. You 

will find plenty of parking in Number 45 garden. There will be a raffle, books, 

bring & buy and bric-a-brac stalls. Please only donate smaller items as it is 

difficult to dispose of larger items. Contributions welcome before or on the day. 

Do come along and enjoy homemade cakes and coffee. It will be lovely to see 

you. For any further information, please call:

From the horses mouth(s) 

Hello everyone, we horses had a meeting 

and decided that this time the blog would 

come from us all. We would like to start 

by saying a big thank you for the support 

the recently held Hollesley Fete has given 

us, it really means a lot to us. We know 

that we give so much pleasure and 

enjoyment to the disabled people who 

come to us and this is only made possible 

by the donations we receive, such as the 

one from the Hollesley Fete. 

Much of what we all do may seem pretty 

mundane to a casual onlooker but if you 

are intimately involved, as we are, the 

benefits to the disabled cannot be overstated. 

Imagine the thrill and reward we 

receive when someone who has difficulty 

lifting her head up from her chest, when in 

our company is able to look up and is briefly able to see the leaves on the trees 

as we trot by, something we all take for granted. As you can imagine many of 

our riders are very dependent on their helpers to get around, but for a short 

time they can sit on us and hold the reins, giving them a sense of freedom and 

being in command of their actions, which helps their confidence no end. 

Of course, there are always 

volunteer helpers close at hand 

and we horses and ponies rely on 

them to make sure this therapy 

is carried out safely. The work is 

very demanding on volunteer 

numbers and our problem is 

having enough helpers around so 

that we can operate to full 

capacity.

Hollesley WI 

Following on from their successful concert with Hollesley School, our Jubilee 

choir have been approached by Peninsula Productions to sing Jerusalem at 

their forthcoming production of Calendar Girls. There will be four performances 

from 26-28th September and the choir will be singing the traditional WI 

anthem Jerusalem at the beginning of each one. WI members have been asked 

Stoneman and Metcalf Photographers Ltd 

Hollesley WI choir members 

to provide the refreshments and the drama group have kindly suggested we 

keep any profits. It seems very fitting as the play is based around a rural WI. 

magazine, the concert in July took a retiring 

collection for HABSS Community First Responders and we are pleased to 

announce that £228.36 was raised to help fund this new local scheme. 

Although we did not have a meeting in August, Hollesley WI members still had 

 

garden, rounding up a social week including Aldeburgh Theatre and a petanque 

competition. Our speaker in July was Jane Allen who gave a fascinating talk on 

a local historic site - Orford Castle - from the perspective of the families who 

had owned it. The speaker at our next meeting on 12th September will be 

Angela Pratt on the subject DNA and all that.

Suffolk Punch Trust 

The summer school holidays are well underway and families are flocking to see 

our Suffolk horses and watch them during their early training lessons down in 

the stables and in the 

new indoor schooling 

arena. Our three foals 

are growing extremely 

fast, and they are particularly 

sociable, usually 

found by the gate soaking 

up the oohs and aahs 

of the visitors. 

The Art and Craft Activity 

days have been very well 

received by children and 

parents alike. After being 

busy outside with the animals, 

children relax and 

quieten down making 

peg-horses and rosettes, 

or drawing and cutting 

Enjoying a day out at the Suffolk Punch Trust 

out. They can take a 

break and then are ready to spend the rest of their stay outside. Parents do not 

often have the chance to see their offspring absorbed in creative work.

We are all looking forward to the birth of Large Black piglets – not long now before 

the squealing starts! 

On 4th September in conjunction with the Heritage Garden’s Open Afternoon 

for Hollesley Village we will have an Information Area for anyone interested in 

joining the team of dedicated volunteers who already do so much to support 

the running of the Trust. If anyone is interested before then, please ring Sue or 

Marjory on: 01394 411 327 or email info@suffolkpunchtrust.org. Thank you.

This hot dry spell has brought out all 

our flowers in the garden. Hopefully 

some will last until Wednesday September 

4th when people from all the 

villages on the Peninsula are invited to 

come in free and see the progress. 

The Centre and café will stay open 

from 4.00 till 7.30. 

Do come and enjoy the evening.

Poisonous common ragwort 

At this time of year one cannot fail to notice a 

bright yellow multi-flowered daisy in fields, 

paddocks and along the verges. Whilst it gives a 

brave show of colour, this weed is toxic and 

potentially fatal to livestock, particularly horses, if 

ingested either green or in its dried state in hay. 

The numerous seeds from these flower heads are 

spread not only by the wind but also by the 

slipstream of passing traffic. This biennial is a 

very tenacious weed and would be impossible to 

eradicate but it does need controlling to avoid it 

establishing itself in grazing land or grassland 

Poisonous common ragwort 

used for hay. This can be done by spudding out 

the first year rosettes or pulling up the plant in the second year before seeding. 

In areas where livestock are not involved, spraying is obviously the best course 

of action. A natural predator of the weed is the Cinnabar moth caterpillar which 

eats the foliage but sadly, like many other insects, it too seems to be in 

decline, probably why ragwort appears to be more rampant than ever.

Butterflies need more sun! 

Contributed 

How we groaned as cold April 

merged into sunless May and then 

into chilly June. But then came 

July and August! With temperatures, 

sun and blue sky to rival 

the Mediterranean suddenly it was 

shorts and sun cream weather,and 

swimming at Shingle Street! It 

was good enough for a revival in 

our butterflies. 

The washout summer of last year 

was an Armageddon event for insects 

that need warm, dry 

Migrant painted lady on buddleia weather to fly, feed and mate, but 

some of our butterflies have now bounced back a little, and when we saw the 

first silver-studded blues among the bell heather on the heath they were in 

good numbers. Since then, we have seen more small tortoiseshells than for 

years, and by mid-August the numbers of gatekeepers, meadow browns, 

ringlets, skippers, peacocks and whites were comparitively good. Buddleias – 

the butterfly bush – were a-flutter with wings, and so were flowering patches of 

bramble in hedges, which wasn’t 

the case last year. 

Today thunder is booming over the 

village. Amazingly, two migrant 

painted lady butterflies are on a 

buddleia, although rain is falling. 

Rain is good, within reason, because 

flowers that provide nectar 

for insects in the countryside and 

in your garden will last longer, and 

the grasses that are a food plant 

for many species will stay green. 

Two warm months do not a butterfly 

summer make, more’s the pity, 

but for at least some of them it has 

helped a lot. No matter how warm 

the autumn however, butterfly 

numbers still remain at a historic 

low. You can help them recover by 

making your garden attractive to 

them by planting some of the 

dozens of colourful, nectar-rich 

flowers they adore.

Village Voice Pictures 

You will know that we like to have photographs 

with all the articles in our magazine. 

Each photograph has a resolution called DPI 

(dots per inch) or PPI (Pixels per Inch). This 

is the number of dots that fit horizontally and 

vertically into a one-inch space. Most digital 

cameras will take photographs that are 

300dpi plus, which means that when they 

are printed, the picture is very sharp. 

However if you download a picture from the 

internet or use your mobile to take a picture, 

the DPI may be dramatically reduced to as 

little as 72dpi. You can imagine then that if 

we try and slightly enlarge the picture, the 

image will blur. 

So where possible try and take a photo with 

a camera. If you can’t then please do send 

in your pictures and we will always endeavour 

to get a good result. 



Hollesley Gardening Club 

In July we enjoyed a visit to Roger and Pauline Underhill`s garden. It was a 

beautiful day and a spotlessly tidy and lovely garden. Add to that some 

welcome shade to sit in and cakes to be drooled over. Thank you very much, 

Roger and Pauline. Hopefully other members will make the offer next year. 

In September we 

start with a bang 

for our winter 

programme. We 

have Suffolk`s

encourage us to 

improve our 

compost-making 

skills. Betsy has 

an original and 

very effective

Gardening Tips for September 

take cuttings from tender perennials, pelargoniums, fuchsia, abutilons 

and marguerites - take young shoots about 8cms long, trim below a 

leaf joint and remove all other leaves apart from the top 2/3, insert 

cuttings to about half their depth around the rim of a pot filled with 

free-draining compost, water and leave in a shaded spot for a few 

weeks to root. Over-winter on a windowsill or conservatory. 

plant new perennials, prepare the soil well adding compost and/or 

well-rotted manure to get them off to a good start. 

collect seeds on a dry day - cut off the seed-head, pop it into a labelled 

paper bag and leave for about 1 week. Tip the seeds out and remove 

as much debris as possible. Sow on top of moist compost - lightly 

covered with more compost and place in a cold frame. 

plant bulbs such as daffodils, crocuses and alliums for colour next 

spring - plant them 2-3 times their own depth. 

plant out spring cabbages 15cms apart in rows 30cms apart.

Hollesley Judo Club news 

A fun-filled evening at the judo club 

There has been so much going on in the Judo Club, because we have been 

busy raising money for Help for Heroes. We had a fun event with a Bring your 

Parents to Judo, followed by a sponsored judo throw and a colossal cake sale. 

Parents enjoyed fun on the mat with their children and then 1600 throws were 

completed in ten minutes - it was a fantastic sight! Meanwhile, there was a 

H4H cake competition and a raffle. Overall a fantastic evening! 

We also had a visit from Colin Oates, Olympian, who gave a brilliant session 

with all ages and gave us all an insight into the commitment and training of an 

Olympic Judo Player. The club now has venues at Tunstall, Rock Barracks and 

Saxmundham and we welcome players of all ages and abilities. We had great 

support at the Hollesley Fete, and thank you for the donation, which we added 

to our amount for Help for Heroes, giving a grand total of £2,000. Thank you.
