Hello again,

Welcome to our October issueof Village Voices.

Our feature this month is on bird migration and highlights the extraordinary journeys made to and from our shores as the seasons turn (p4).

The school reporters tell ofthe exciting opportunities the children have to explore in all aspects of art with the ArtsAward project (p11).

Many readers will be pleased to know that the Shepherd and Dog is open again, and to hear of the can-do individuals who kept spirits up over the last month (p25).

For the energetic, how about a stunning 8-mile walk, taking in the autumn delights of river, forest and field? (p20). And who’d have thought football and horses would go so well together? (p17)

As always, many thanks to all our contributors, without whom there’dbe no magazine! I hope you enjoy reading this issue.

Apology from the editors: Some sharp-eyed readers noticed that the beautiful picture of ‘wheat’ on the front cover last month was actually barley!



Follow that bird!

October, and migrating birds are pouring into East Anglia. Nearly all the birdsthat came to Suffolk and Norfolk in the spring to breed have left our shores andare returning to the winter warmth of southern Europe and Africa. Now, a greattide of birds from the north is flooding into Britain. These winter visitors havenested in the Arctic and Northern Europe and have been forced to leave, because cold of a kind that I hope we never experience will soon grip theirbreeding grounds.

Wild birds are the most mobile of creatures, and they have perfected the perilous business of long-haul migration to a degree that is astounding. In previous centuries, the whole idea of a small bird winging thousands of milesseemed just a fantasy. Even Gilbert White, the celebrated 18th century parson/naturalist was content – for a while – to believe that his beloved Selborne swallows disappeared in autumn because they spent the winter in themud at the bottom of local ponds and lakes. Eventually, bird migration was accepted, although with no evidence to prove otherwise, most people dismissedthe miracle of endurance and navigational ability as simple blind instinct. Instinct it may be, but there are many great unresolved questions, and theBritish Trust for Ornithology (BTO) is at the forefront in gathering answers andinformation that lifts the veil a little more each year.

We have all seen swallows and house martins perched side by side on a telephone wire: it is surprising to learn that we know a great deal about one,and almost nothing about the other. Gilbert White would be staggered to hearthat his Selborne swallows spend winter in South Africa – not in his pond. Asfor house martins, a few records of ringed birds have been received from southof the Sahara, but exactly where they winter is pure guesswork.

Tagged lesser black-backed gull. Photo by Kees Camphuysen



Ieuan Evans of BTO visited Woodbridge to talk to members of Suffolk WildlifeTrust about bird migration. We learned much about metal leg rings, migrationresearch, the attitude of people to birds, and the work of BTO. We heard of alady who was confident she had four blackbirds year after year in her gardenand was astounded to learn, after a lengthy BTO trapping and ringing project,that she had been hostess to 75 different blackbirds identified in her garden bycolour-coded leg rings: most were from Scandinavia. And those blackcaps yousee on your feeders in the winter have recently arrived from Germany - theyare not ‘stop-overs’ from last summer.

Huge advances in technology now allow tags that weigh less than a couple ofpaperclips to be fitted to small birds. Wearing lightweight satellite tracking devices, Great Yarmouth’s swifts are known to make foraging journeys inlandthat grow longer and longer as the chicks’ need for food increases. Some lesserblack-backed gulls at Orford Ness are coping with offshore wind turbines bycarefully steering around them, whilst others avoid the complex of turbines altogether and find feeding areas elsewhere. This avoidance behaviour is bad:birds are being displaced, and that is likely to be a growing future problemwhen more turbines are built. The tracking devices also show that most femalelesser black-backed gulls head south to the region of sunny Lisbon in the autumn, but most males hang around on the murky south coast of England.

The cuckoo-tracking programme is now famous: thirty male cuckoos taggedsince 2011 have caught media attention, especially cuckoo Chris. Tagged in2011 with a solar-powered GPS tracking device at Santon Downham in Norfolk,he has made eight return journeys across the Sahara desert to the Africanequatorial forest zone, and logged a total of 80,000 km. Long-distance migrants need to rest and refuel to put on weight, and the tracking programmes have pinpointed stop-over hotspots that are used regularly. Britishcuckoos have a preference for the Po Valley, in northern Italy, where they canfeed well for weeks before tackling the deadly ordeal of the Sahara.

Chris left Britain on 4thJuly (summer had onlyjust begun!) and wasin the Po Valley on 3rdAugust. The region hasexperienced the worstdrought for years, andwould have been apoor refuelling stop formigrants. The signalsfrom his tracking device were increas-ingly erratic, and werelast received on 8thAugust when hereached the Tibestimountains in NorthernChad.

Since then, no signalshave been received.Chad is desert, withrocky, arid mountainsand burning hot plains- and far from thesteamy Equatorialforests where our cuckoos thrive in winter.

BTO scientists must be objective in their work, and record just the facts. Therest of us are softies, and moved by the death of a bird, especially a star performer like Chris. It seems BTO were initially against personalising thetagged cuckoos by giving them names, but ever since they became known asChris, Dudley, Stanley, Charlie and co. there has been a huge surge in publicinterest in the project. People are now beginning to understand the wonder ofbirds and the magnificence of their migrational abilities, and to realise thatevery year, their numbers grow fewer. Millions upon millions of them dieanonymous and unseen during their global wanderings in spring and autumn,although migration is just one of many causes of mortality in the life of a bird.

Science gives us first-hand knowledge of the perils of migration, and proof ofthe staggering endurance and instinctive knowledge possessed by the birds thatmake it to our shores. The work of the BTO, RSPB and other wild bird conservation organisations identifies and hopes to eliminate hazards faced bybirds here, and wherever their wanderings take them.

Church letterThere are two things that I really want to mention in my letter this month. Oneis that my colleague Rev' d Janice Leaver, from Rendlesham, and I are travel-ing to Calais on 6th October taking a car full of winter supplies for the migrantscamped there. We are looking for donations of mens’ shoes / trainers (eurosizes 41-46/uk 7-10), jackets / jumpers (medium or small sizes), tracksuit bot-toms / jeans, (waist 28-32), toiletries (toothpaste, toothbrushes, soaps), travelbags, tents / tarpaulins, sleeping bags, torches. Items may be left in any ofour churches.

Secondly, there is an open invitation to Hollesley church on Saturday 31st Oc-tober, 9.30 for 10am until 12noon. We will be looking at suggestions from ourplanning group for projects for the churches to undertake in the near future.What do you think the church should be focusing on? What would you be inter-ested in being involved with? Come and have your say!

Arts AwardAt the start of the year Miss Buckman, our art teacher, told the whole schoolabout the Arts Award. The idea of this project was to encourage children tolearn about art in its many different forms. There are five stages to achieve inthe Arts Award: Discover; Explore; Bronze; Silver and Gold. Key Stage Oneworked on Discover and Key Stage Two did Explore.

To earn our Arts Award certificate we had to take part in different arts activities such as going on different school trips to the Latitude Festival andAldeburgh beach where we saw and sketched Maggi Hambling’s sculpture TheScallop. We also incorporated the Ten Pieces (the classical music project run bythe BBC) into it, and created art works based on the pieces of music. The previous Year Four, Fiveand Six children took the parents around the schoolshowing them our art work, asshowing our art to others wassomething else we had to doto achieve the certificate.

Our favourite Arts Award activity was when, in a group,we were able to have a go at avariety of art forms. One of uschose textiles and was able todesign and create a T-shirt.The other one of us chosegraffiti which was interestingand different because it is anunusual art form. Other groupsdid other art forms includingarchitecture, painting, musicand acting.

In the Arts Award book weneeded to record what inspiredus. We had to create art todemonstrate our skills andimagination. Then we had toshare and explain our creations to other people. Wewere also asked to explore different arts organisations andartists like Maggi Hambling. We learnt about two organisations, AldeburghMusic and TAGS (Textiles Art Group Suffolk). We are now waiting to find outwhether we achieved our awards. Overall it was a great experience and everybody thought it was excellent!

Fairtrade coffee morningWhat is the difference between Fairtrade sold inthe supermarkets, and Traidcraft?

Traidcraft started in 1979 as a pioneer sellingcrafts, and offered the first fairly-traded tea andcoffee. Over the years they have been at theforefront of all aspects of Fairtrade.

They seek out small producers and marginalisedfolk and help them with design and marketing,

enabling them to trade with us, transforming their lives to make a modest living. A premium is paid for something their community needs, like a wellfor clean water or a basic health clinic.

Planning ahead for Christmas – Show you care!

Di and I are called ‘Fairtraders’. We are volunteers who sell Traidcraft productsin our churches and in the community. Lots of lovely and unusual gifts, manyof them handmade, are to be found in the recent Traidcraft catalogue. Comeand get yours to browse or take away. Once again Di and I are offering you aselection of food and goods or we can take orders from the catalogue.

Also available will be a selection of products bySUMA. Suma is a wholefoods co-operative offeringa wide range of foods and other products, all vegetarian with many being organic, fairly-traded,gluten-free and/or vegan.

Hollesley WI

Thank you to Rosemary and Len Busby who kindly hosted a garden party in their pretty garden on 29th June. The weather stayed dry and it was well attended, with several new faces very welcome. Pimm's and tea and cake made for a very English afternoon, with quizzes and competitions to entertain. Bric a brac, vegetables and books sold well and there was an excellent raffle. Altogether, £200 was made for WI funds and we all enjoyed ourselves. On 31st July, many members went to Aldeburgh Jubilee Hall to see How the Other Half Loves, by Alan Aykbourn. Once again we celebrated the wit, timing and dia-logue of this major playwright. The actors met his exacting standards and kept us laughing throughout.

Our Summer Meal on 13th August is always a relaxed occasion. Following Salmon en Croute, we all enjoyed delicious trifles and fruit salads made by members. Games were organized, there was a raffle and it all proved a very sociable occasion with much laughter. September 16th was the exact Centenary of the founding of the WI in the UK. Picnics to celebrate were held across the country, including at Glemham Hall.

As autumn arrives, our usual round of activities - Darts, Choir and Playreading(we read She Stoops to Conquer this month) start again. If you are interestedin joining us, do come to one of our meetings held the second Thursday of eachmonth. Our next meeting is on 8th October at 7 pm. at Hollesley Village Hall,when we will hear about Witches in and around Suffolk from PipWright. More about us can be found on our website:sefwi.org.uk/institute/Hollesley

A brief history of Boyton Fete

The first recorded fete was a Sale of Work andJumble Sale held in September 1921 by the RevJoshua Davies in his garden at the Old Rectory(now Boyton House). Tea was served in in theChurch Room which was a brick and wood buildingsituated at the bottom of the Rectory drive.

This building became a casualty of war when itwas demolished by a bomb, probably a doodlebug,in WW2. The original Fete was held to raise fundsfor a new altar cloth which is probably the sameone gracing the altar today. Compensation fromGovernment was not sufficient to rebuild theChurch Room, so was put towards the ReadingRoom, in the centre of the village.

The history of the Fetes is a bit haphazard, butafter the Rev Davies vacated the Rectory in 1944,the Fete was held at The Knoll and then back tothe Rectory when a Mrs Elms owned it. The Fetewas also held on the Mary Warner fields for several years, finally finding a more permanent home at the Village Hallgrounds occasionally overflowing into the garden of the Knoll. As far as weknow the annual Boyton Fete has been held in Boyton for 94 years which is arecord of which we can be proud.

Isobel Lilley

Dancing on the village green was provided by the Pretty

Grim Border Morris side, who as the name suggests carry on the Welsh Bordertradition of farm labourers dancing to earn extra money in the winter whenthey were short of work. As it was regarded as a form of begging they used todisguise themselves with soot or ashes to avoid the long arm of the law!Pretty Grim are based in Blaxhall, and have appeared at FolkEast and

Halesworth Day of Dancethis year as well as starring at Boyton fete.Their dances include theAlly Pally, Salmon Slapping as well asWrekin Havoc – just tounderline the Welsh connection. You couldeven say they are in theMorris Minor tradition…

Suffolk Punch Trust NewsIt has been a busy few months for the team: several majorevents as well as smaller fetes and shows have been attendedwith both our horses and stands to promote the Trust. The sitehas had over 9000 visitors so far and we are hoping to welcomemany more in the Autumn.

Our youngest foal, Colony Bluey has been named after Ipswich Town Football Club’s team mascot. We hope this new relationship with the Club (whose logo features a Suffolk Punch) will bring a whole new group of people to visit the Trust and also raise awareness about the Suffolk Punch breed. We have attended their open day which had over 6000 visitors; we have also had two of their players - Luke Chambers and Cole Skuse - visit the site as part of the foal’s naming ceremony. The Trust will be present at one of the ITFC matches to raise awareness and fundraise.

The Alde and Ore estuary partnershipA partnership set up by the community for the community

Our main thrust of work over the past year has been the Estuary Plan (see thewebsite for details), which is in the final throes of completion and will go out topublic consultation in November so you can have your say – and it is importantyou do! Some £7-10 million will be required to upgrade the river walls, some ofwhich will be funded nationally – but not all! As a community, we will have tohelp and ‘DIY’. Catastrophic breaching and flooding affects not only our housesbut our economy, tourism, sailing and business throughout the estuary .

Landowners have offered land to be sold with planning permission and the resulting land sale money will be held by the Estuary Trust. We will need notonly the capital funds for the upgrading but ongoing maintenance funds in theyears to come too! Have you any suggestions for raising funds? Do not be shyin letting me have any innovative ideas.

Other areas of work the Partnership has been involved with are:

Repair of the Snape wall post surge. The East Suffolk Internal Drainage Boardhave recently completed the first phase of the repair to the wall which has beenraised to 2.9m (to allow for settlement to 2.7m) a significant improvement fromthe 2.4m it was in December 2013. The local landowner, Adnams, EA (Environ-ment Agency) and SCDC have all contributed to the cost and thanks also go tolocal constructors SEH and Howard Construction who gave over 10,000 tonnesof clay which saved this going to landfill.

Slaughden coast – the coastal area at Slaughden is crucial for the survival ofthe estuary and the Partnership will be closely involved with the EA in discussing options to defend this area.

Saltings restoration work will be carried out shortly at Brick Dock, Aldeburgh, tohelp secure the saltings at the toe of the wall – a vital initial defence to reduceerosion.

October www.villagevoices.org.uk

Sudbourne and Iken circular walkA varied walk including a stretch of river wall, shady forest tracks and farmland,linked by unfrequented lanes. About 8 miles

1. Start from the north end of Sudbourne village street. Walk to the end of thehouses and on northwards along the road for about ¼ of a mile, until you see a footpath signpost on your right.

2. Turn right along the edge of Sudbourne Great Wood, a remnant of ancientwoodland. Stay on this track till you see the remains of a footpath signpost outside the entrance of Wood Farm. Turn left, passing several houses, then go right when you reach a lane. Continue all the way to a T-junction just after Iken Village Hall.

3. Turn right here (signposted Sudbourne) and walk about1½ miles on the lane. The climb up past Yarn Hill Barn isrewarded with lovely views to your left and skylarks andswallows in summer. Go straight on (ignoring the laneturning right) on the ‘No Through Road’ to High Street.

4. Where the tarmac bends left, bear right onto a graveltrack (there is a footpath sign hidden in the hedge) then after

the last of the buildings, go straight on into the trees. The next section of thewalk is well marked by yellow waymark arrows, around the edge of severalfields and then through a metal gate into grazing marsh and head towards theriver bank. Cross a wooden bridge to walk up onto the river wall.

5. The river here is usually full of activity. On the opposite bank, at Slaughden,there was for centuries a thriving fishing community, whose access to the sea was blocked by Longshore Drift, and a ferry, which is also sadly only a memory. Turn right along the wall and cross a stile. Soon after this the wall zigzags in-land, but a footpath bearing left alongside the field boundary at ground level enables you to avoid this detour. Go through a metal gate by a footpath sign-post to regain the top of the wall and turn left along it.

6. Carry on for about 100 yards to some wooden posts. Leave the wall hereand walk along the grassy track to a broken footpath signpost. Turn inland and follow the grassy track by the edge of a meadow. This becomes a sandy and then a concrete track as it passes a set of barns and bears right. Pass farm buildings on both sides of the track to reach a lane.



7. Walk straight ahead down the lane. Just before a large house called The Firs,a footpath sign points left. Take this path under the trees to just beyond asmall shed. There is a stile in the fence ahead of you, between the shed andthe telegraph pole. Go over this into the paddock and walk up with the ditchon your right. Cross a concrete bridge and continue up the side of the nextpaddock. About 50 yards from the top, look out for a metal gate in the fenceand go through it. Carry on on the other side of the hedge to the corner ofthe field and round to where a small opening in the hedge gives access to aconcrete farm drive. (continues overleaf)



8. The right of way goes into the open field ahead by some white posts, anddiagonally across it to the right-hand top corner. (It is possible to detourright along the drive and then left along the field edge if necessary). Followthe foot-path sign at the top corner into woodland and then along a wire-netting fence, until it reaches a lane.

9. Turn right on the lane to a T-junction. Turn right again, up to some cottageson your left. Just before the first one, turn left onto a bridleway (marked bya signpost up on a bank on the left). This passes between 2 hedges and thencarries on through the forest to emerge on a lane just south of Sudbourne.

10. Turn left for about 10 yards, then take the footpath signposted opposite.Follow this path round to the right, where the roofs of Sudbourne can beglimpsed across the paddocks. Go straight on into the forest until you come toa metalled track, where the footpath turns sharp left back into the trees. Turnright here down a lane to the village street, and return to your start point.

Note: No refreshments are available at Sudbourne but there are several pubsand cafes in Orford, 2 miles to the south. The walk was checked recently andwe found a couple of the sign posts have gone . If you're planning to do thewalk using the book 20 More Walks Around the Deben, you may want to amendthe text.

Broadband on the Wilford Peninsula

The Wilford Broadband Group has been striving forfaster Broadband for several years and has deliveredwireless Broadband in Hollesley, Shottisham andShingle Street, but the bandwidth is limited which restricts the number of customers. The not-for-profit Suffolk Superfast Broadband Community Interest Company (CIC) has now been formed thathas obtained grants and installed kit on the FoxhallRoad tower. This tower will be operational later inSeptember and will deliver 600MB from sources in London to our part of Suffolk.

Wireless has the advantage that it can serve a largearea of the countryside without a lot of expensive infrastructure such as cables, fibre, telegraph polesetc. This means that customers will shortly be ableto obtain 15Mbps download and upload for £15 amonth. Several villagers in Hollesley are already getting their phone service through the wireless net-work from a company called Vonage for £7.50 amonth. The CIC is currently seeking further tallstructures, such as church towers and other buildings, for relaying the signal tomore parishes to the north and east.

It is worth mentioning that Boyton is privileged to be shortly receiving fibre tothe premises. This will be funded by Better Broadband for Suffolk (funded bythe Suffolk County Council, The Department for Culture, Media and Sport(DCMS), BT and other local councils), but it is very unlikely that this will be repeated elsewhere in our area without incurring considerable costs.

Pop- up Shepherd and DogMost of you will know that the Shepherd and Dog wasclosed. Come the August Bank Holiday, come the novel venue – Hollesley village hall! The initiative was possible becauseJudy Collins, who was on holiday, went back to work in theshop so that Grant Williams was able to to set up the pop-up pub with Steve Shemmings. They put in a great deal of effort to make sure that it was stocked and ready for the public. Rachel Pipe and Beth Bridgeham were alsoon hand to keep things running smoothly. Most of the beer was from casks but some had to come from the fridge. They also provided a BBQ.

The monthly quiz took place there and, although not with quite the same atmosphere, was a big success with almost 50 people taking part (the winnings going to St Elizabeth’s Hospice). The village hall pub stayed open throughout the following week and the weekend after, thanks to the agreement/co-operation of the parish council and the village hall committee.

The pub has now re-opened and will soon be offering food again. Real ale caneven be had straight from the barrel – whoopee! Chris was keen to stress how much effort Steve and Grant put in to the venture. Those who used the pub were most appreciative.

Help prevent falls and trips

Don’t underestimate the consequences of an older person having a fall. A fallcan result in broken hips or bones and even early death. In addition to the painand distress a fall can cause, it can take away someone’s self-confidence, leaving them afraid to go out and socially isolated. The statistics on falls are staggering:

One way of reducing the chance of falling is by replacing old and worn slippers.Many people have a favourite pair of comfy slippersthat could be potentially dangerous. Worn soles caneasily lead to a slip and slippers that fit poorly cancause a trip.

The safest slippers are those with good quality non-slip rubber soles, are enclosed and have a fastener.So, if you have a pair of old and worn slippers,please think about replacing them. And if you’ve got

an elderly friend or relative think about giving them an early Christmas presentof a new pair of slippers.

Gussy Alamein, Suffolk NHS

• 50% of people aged over 80 suffer a fall each year• 33% of people aged over 65 suffer a fall each year• 1 in 10 elderly falls result in serious injury• 25% of all 999 calls are falls related.



An Exciting Project inthe Suffolk Coast andHeaths AONB

The Suffolk Coast andHeaths Area of Out-standing NaturalBeauty (AONB) has received funding fromits Sustainable Devel-opment and Amenity &Accessibility Funds toset up a Scattered Orchard Project.

The aim of the projectis to plant five local varieties of fruit or nuttree in parishes in theAONB.

Suffolk and Essex once had many traditional orchards but these are now disappearing from the landscape. Planting small clumps of traditional fruit ornut trees on publicly accessible land means local people can benefit from thetrees. They can enjoy the blossom in the spring and eat the fruit/nuts in theautumn. These trees will not only provide habitats for a wide variety of wildlifebut will bring local people together for a community project on their doorstepwhich will be there for future generations to enjoy.

All you need to be involved is a suitable piece of land on which to plant 5 fruitor nut trees, such as a recreational or community wildspace, village hall/schoolgrounds, allotment, cemetery or village green. We will consult with the SuffolkTraditional Orchard Group regarding suitable local tree varieties for your location. If needed, we will undertake site visits with you to assess the suitability of your site and work with you to plant the trees in late autumn/winter.

If you would like to know more, would like to be involved or know of a potentialsite for tree planting please contact:

Storms and high winds fell trees on the mainroad from Hollesley to Melton. Electric power fails throughout the area.We’re cut off! What now? Climate change is producing more extremeweather conditions so this could become a reality. You’ll find a ‘flood plainsmap’ of Hollesley (prepared by the Environment Agency) on each of the threenotice boards. Please take a little time out of your day to have a look at it.

It’s clear that Hollesley needs to build a comprehensive Emergency Plan so thatwe’re equipped to help ourselves and others if such a situation arises.

In thisedition we’re looking for individuals and organisations to come forward whocould assist with road-clearing operations. For example, anyone with access totractors, chainsaws, other tools and equipment, 4x4s or simply people willing tocome out and roll their sleeves up to help if the situation arose.

Gardening Tips for October

• Harvest vegetable crops that will not stand afrost - eg beetroot, carrots and onions can bestored in a frost free shed or cellar

• Pick all remaining tomatoes

• Prune rambling roses

• If the soil is still warm it is not too late to divideor move herbaceous perennials. Early floweringones will have time to put out new roots beforetheir energy goes into producing flowers.
