November 2006  

Now if you are like me and don't belong to one of the farming family's here what to do this November.

Kitchen Garden – Bulbs of Tulips & Hyacinths are the last to be planted so set now. Michaelmas daisies, golden rod, lupins, flag iris, & any overgrown perennials may be lift, divided and replanted. Stake standard rose bushes.

Fruit – All kinds of fruit trees & bushes may be planted. Pruning may commence. Stone fruit (plums, cherries etc) should have lime freely forked into the soil round the trees.

Gunpowder Plot - We all know what happened to Guy Fawkes, but did you know this – the plot was originated by Robert Catesby & was fixed for November 5 th 1605 , the fixing of the gunpowder was left to a zealous Papist, Guy Fawkes. The object was to blow up the Houses of Parliament and with them James I. The plot was discovered by a letter sent to Lord Mounteagle.

Be sensible on the 5 th and remember the animals in the village.

Touring Theatre - Sunday 3 rd December – Village Hall 6.30pm "The Iron Man" - by Ted Hughes

When Hogarth was eight, he met the Iron Man on his family's farm in Cornwall , but in the process of their adventures he fell out with his father. Now, nearly 40 years later, he's back on the farm, in the very barn from where he used to steal scrap metal to feed his Iron friend and he's remembering... trying to work things out, trying to put things right... It's in this barn that he conjures up the story of what happened when he met the Iron Man and how together they saved the world.

Ted Hughes described The Iron Man as a children's tale told in five nights. This production will be an invitation for people to sit back, soak up the atmosphere and lose themselves in the story. The beautiful and dramatic music will entrance audiences of all ages. Here's an opportunity to meet the Iron Man in different shapes and sizes and find out just how funny, friendly and sad he really is.

The Iron Man will work best for children aged 8 to 11 years (school age - Years 4, 5 & 6) plus their friends & family. Children aged 7 may have difficulty following some of it and/or are more likely to get scared as there are some pretty loud noises and quite frightening sections. Parents should definitely be encouraged not to bring children aged under 7 years. Tel: Bob Laking for tickets 363682
