Hello and welcome to our June issue ofVillage Voices.

June is the official start of summer. Andwhat epitomises summer better thanthe riotous noise and colour of a villagefete? Borrowed from the French fêtemeaning ‘holiday’ or ‘party’, fetes havebrought communities together in thespirit of unity, co-operation and fun forhundreds of years. It’s a very Britishtradition we should all be proud of. So ifyou can, go along to Hollesley’s fetethis month (followed throughout thesummer by Shottisham, Alderton, Sutton & Boyton fetes) and help keepour rural traditions thriving!

It’s this shared community pride andpurpose that inspired me to join the Village Voices team. I’ve always enjoyed reading about the many diverse and interesting things that go on inour villages. And with a lot of help and support from my co-editor Ali thismonth, it’s been great to see - from behind the scenes - how the articles, notices, news and events come together to create a magazine. I do hope youenjoy this issue. It features all the latest updates from our regular contributorsand lots of dates for your diary, as well as a really interesting article about thesecret military history of our coastline.

The Secret CoastThis article, the first in a series, explores our coastline’s hidden militaryhistory and the very important role itplayed during the Cold War.

In October 1962, while I was workingas a Radar Operator on the Isle of Lewis at RAF Aired Uig in the Outer He-brides, the whole world held its breathwaiting for the first nuclear strike. V-bombers were armed and fuelled onten minutes standby ready to take offon a one way journey - they knew theywould have nowhere to land if theymade it back. A radioactive wastelandwould be all that remained of home.

On November 1963 President Kennedy was assassinated. No one knew if theRussians were behind it. Defence commitments in other parts of the world, in-cluding Northern Ireland where The Troubles raged on, stretched resources andnerves even further.

Along this short length of coast was RAF Bawdsey, the home of Radar and Or-fordness, the home of the AWRE (Atomic Weapons Research Establishment)and later the base for the experimental over the horizon radar Cobra Mist. Aswell as all this, there were the twin bases of RAF Bentwaters and Woodbridge.

Bawdsey, Part One

It was a cold February in 1964when I first arrived at Bawdseyafter travelling for two daysfrom the Isle of Lewis.

First a flight from Stornoway toGlasgow then a slow overnighttrain to London then on to Felixstowe, on a bus driven by Albert, complete with GreatCoat (made necessary by thefact the bus had no heating).One of Suffolk’s best lovedcharacters, Albert Aldis ran the

bus service to Felixstowe. He was a lifeline for RAF personnel based at Bawd-sey. If the last ferry across the River Deben had gone, Albert would leave thebus open all night close to the jetty so that stranded airmen and women hadsomewhere to sleep.

The Quick Reaction Hangers, Wattisham



The last leg of my journey was over the river on Charlie Brinkley’s Ferry. Theferry from Old Felixstowe to Bawdsey was operated by three generations of theBrinkley family.

After checking in at the maingate and struggling up the longdrive with all my worldly posses-sions (one large RAF kitbag anda small suitcase), the manorhouse came into view. Walking over the little bridge, Ifinally saw the Station HeadQuarters (SHQ); a small prefab-ricated building on the junctionof the drive that lead to themanor.

During the Cold War, Bawdsey and the surrounding area played an importantrole in keeping the country safe. The underground bunker was home to a mas-ter radar site tasked with identifying and monitoring all the aircraft flying withina 240 mile radius. If any unidentified aircraft were found, the control and re-porting centre swung into action and the Quick Reaction Aircraft (QRA) scram-bled from Wattisham to investigate. The QRA were English Electric Lightningsand later McDonalds Phantoms, housed in a special hanger at the end of therunway. They were always kept on 10 minutes standby.

Bawdsey was also responsiblefor training fighter pilots. Twofighters would take off fromWattisham and be handed overfrom Eastern Radar to fightercontrol at Bawdsey. One of theaircraft would be the target.The two fighters would split upfor sixty miles then a carefullychoreographed dance in thesky would take place until thetarget had been intercepted.They would then split up andstart again. When fuel ran lowthe planes would return toWattisham. In January 1964,

Bawdsey became the school of fighter control, training all fighter controllers inthe Royal Air Force.

In the next part of The Secret Coast we’ll go underground into Bawdsey’s secret bunker.

Church LetterDear Friends,

Say one for me is something people occasion-ally say to me when I’m on my way to churchand it’s a request I always take seriously. Ithink most of us have at one time or anotherfelt the need to say a prayer – even thosewho do not profess a faith; and even if theprayer is as simple as ‘Help!’

Several of our local churches have a quiet cor-ner where anyone can make an anonymousrequest for prayer – for themselves or forsomeone they are concerned about. Alderton has a large cross that post-it notescan be attached to; Boyton has a book forprayer requests; Hollesley has a ‘prayer tree’with leaves to write on and hang on the tree;Ramsholt has a beautiful wooden box that re-quests can be left in. Bawdsey School alsohas a prayer tree and prayer box in the hallwhere children (and adults) can leave a request. If a prayer is folded, I take itto church and pray it privately; other prayers are read out in assembly for thewhole school to pray together.

Last Christmas, members of the congregation at Hollesley donated an illumi-nated tree to St Elizabeth Hospice which continues to stand in the Reflectionsquiet space. It is much appreciated as a focus for prayer.

But how can we pray for someone we love and how can we know what to prayfor? What do we mean by prayer? A helpful description might be ‘bringing ourthinking down to our heart’. Love lives and thrives in the heart space. The heartis the natural organ of life and love. It is no coincidence that a heart shape isuniversally recognised as a symbol for love. Our thoughts and our minds can goround and round in circles causing stress and anxiety, encouraging us to act –perhaps in retaliation or self-preservation. Bringing our thinking down to ourheart can make the difference between being happy and being miserable andnegative. Could this be what we are really doing when we say we are prayingfor someone? Holding them in our heart? Could prayer be as simple as that?

Holding someone we love in our hearts is natural and instinctive but what aboutnegative thoughts – the fears, irritations and resentments we all harbour?Would the same work for them? Next time a resentment, negativity or irritationcomes to mind and you feeling like dwelling on it in your mind, why not trymoving that thought or person literally into your heart space and see if it helps.No need to call it prayer if you’d prefer not to!

Hollesley School - BikeabilityOn the 5th May children from Reception through to Year five took part in aBikeability day. Two coaches from Premier Sport came in to teach the childrenhow to cycle safely and how to be in control of their bikes. Although nobodyunder the age of nine is allowed to cycle on the road with the school, the schooldecided that the younger children would take part too so they could practisetheir cycling, as it is still very important that all children know how to cyclesafely.

The activities whicheach year grouptook part in varieda bit based on theage of the children.Most activities werepractising: signals,going round conesin a circle, weavingthrough cones, theM-Check (checkingtheir bikes forsafety reasons) andslow races! Theolder children alsolearnt to cycle withonly one hand onthe handle bars because they need to be able to free up a hand to signal their turns.

Everyone in years five and six have already had to pass their Bikeability courseas we cycle to get to various destinations for some of our school trips. These in-clude shelter building in Rendlesham Forest and environmental work at ShingleStreet. The school has made sure that we know all the reasons why everybodymust wear a helmet whilst cycling. Last year, Mrs Wright pretended that an eggwas a person’s head and she showed us what would happen if we did not weara helmet; the egg cracked when it wasn’t wearing a helmet the same as ourhead might if we did not wear a helmet! This made everybody think that wewould definitely wear a helmet!

Lots of children said that they really enjoyed the session, and the Premier Sport coaches were very impressed with the children. They commented particularly that they were impressed with how well the children in Reception had done as they listened carefully to instructions and cycled really well.

We are looking forward to going out on our bikes for more trips this summer!

From our country kitchenStrawberry and Cucumber Salad (by Nigel Slater)

This is a delicious and refreshing summer salad. The quantities given here willgive you a large bowl but it can easily be scaled down for 2 people. The recipefor Elderflower Cordial is on the Village Voices website.

For the syrup: 3 tbsp honey10 mint leaves5 tbsp elderflower cordial

2 medium cucumbers450g strawberries

Put the honey, mint and elderflower cordial into ablender and blitz to a thicksyrup. If you don't have ablender, chop the mint veryfinely, mix it with the honeyand cordial, then leave it foran hour. Strain through a finesieve to remove the mintleaves.

Peel the cucumbers, slice them in half down their length, then scrape out theseeds with a teaspoon. Dice the flesh finely and put in a large bowl. Hull thestrawberries, slice in two and mix carefully in with the cucumber. Pour the mintand elderflower syrup over the fruit and stir in gently. Leave for 20 minutes inthe fridge before serving.

If you have a bumper crop of strawberries this year don't forget that they arewell worth freezing. They retain their colour and taste so can be added to othersummer fruits in a compote or heated with a little sugar to make a sauce for icecream. I also liquidise the fruit and pour into small plastic containers andfreeze. Added to fresh orange juice it makes a delicious breakfast treat.

News from Mortiers’ FarmThis is the month when we start our harvesting year, andlook forward to a continual flow of harvesting operations forthe next 11 months.

We will start with potatoes, followed closely by turnips, car-rots and then on to baking potatoes, parsnips and leekslater in the month. On top of this we still have a great dealto plant including potatoes, turnips, dwarf beans and someof our winter harvest vegetables such as leeks and savoycabbage. Livestock duties are still pretty hectic too, with the

added bonus of shearing all the ewes and rams.

From a non-food perspective wewill be harvesting surplus grassand rye grown for the anaerobicdigester to produce electricity.As a business we have a policyof trying not to take land out offood production to produceelectricity but to utilise surplusproduction (such as the grass)or grow a crop on a bare pieceof land, which is not due to beplanted until after the rye isharvested. Many of our vegeta-bles need to be planted sequen-tially, to ensure a consistentsupply of production to our customers. This sometimes provides a gap whichallows us to get another crop planted, as well as having the benefit of protect-ing the soil over the winter. This land would have traditionally been left barron.Post-harvest the rye fields are planted with crops to harvest in the winter andthe grass is grazed by the sheep flock.

As an industry we are experiencing some financially testing times, with com-modity, grocery, meat and milk values all down on last year and potentiallydown on volume of sales as well. Across the UK, farmers’ income dropped by4.4% last year, primarily due to lower values and a strong pound. The yearahead unfortunately is indicating lower values than last year, creating evenmore thought-provoking ideas on what farming practices to pursue and ways ofcutting costs. The other interesting fact is that 40% of groceries (by value) inGreat Britain are sold on promotion, each year. A startling fact from a growingperspective, as most promotions are funded by the growing base. The con-cerning fact is that a promotion seldom invigorates increased consumption of aproduct post-promotion. With declining volumes of vegetables being sold andan ever increasing competitiveness on the high street, the opportunities andchallenges facing growers will be interesting.

Me and my friends; Joshua Button, Kieran Fletcher, Colby Dickson, CallumKnights and Owen Button discovered an animal skeleton in a bush at theHollesley Recreation Ground. We unearthed them and organised them as shownin the picture. What we do not know is how it died, but we have assumptions.

Luke Jelinski

Dear Editor,

As the Hollesley fete draws closer, we still need any items that you don't want;books, Bric-A-Brac, Jars of Chutney, Plants, Bottles of Booze etc. Give me a ringand we will collect. All money raised will go to Village Projects and Charities.This years Fete promises to be better than ever. See you there.

All the very best,

Stewart Austerfield, 01394 412169 / 07771 780857

Editor’s NoteDear Luke, Joshua, Kieran, Colby, Callum & Owen,

You have a good collection of dem dry bones there! You could audition forSilent Witness. Our guess is a deer. Sometimes they are hit by a car and wander off to die. Usually though, foxes pull the carcases to pieces andscatter the bones.

Dear Editor,

Thank you very much for your very generous donation to our Shingle StreetPreservation Group. We are working to preserve the Shingle Street area, as weall currently enjoy it, as an open, tranquil and wild place.

We have raised funds so far through quiz nights, a beach cafe day and a garagesale and we have more similar events planned. This has enabled us to part-fund a biodiversity survey that everyone can join in with, see: shinglestreetsurvey.org.uk, we also expect to support relevant flood defenceworks (you will remember the sea wall breach in December 2013) as well asother matters that arise.

We will keep you informed of future events and preservation initiatives.Thank you again for your kind support and the continued high quality production of Village Voices.

Best wishes,

Tim Green, Shingle Street

Dear Editor,

A lot of water hasflowed under the bridgesince I left Hollesleylast September, but Iam thrilled to be backin the village again. Ihave been warmly wel-comed by old friends,and look forward tocatching up with moreof you as the weeks goby.

What a beautiful areawe live in, epitomisedby this photo I took ofthe bluebell wood.

The colour and atmosphere were breathtaking and it was a magical moment tojust quietly take it all in as the area was bathed in the gentle sunlight filteringthrough the trees.

Toilet Training For PuppiesToilet training your puppyshould be quite a simpleprocess, as long as you takethe time to get into a goodroutine. Initially, you willhave to work around yourpuppy’s needs, and theseare quite predictable whenthey are very young.

Puppies normally urinatewithin fifteen minutes of eating and defecate withinhalf an hour of eating. Puppies have poor bladdercontrol and need to urinateat least every hour or two.They can urinate spontaneously too, so take your puppy out frequently if it hasbeen active, playing or exploring.

Provide a designated toilet area in your garden and always go with your puppyso you are there to reward. Attach a cue word to the successful action - for ex-ample wee wees. Puppies are creatures of habit, so as long as you introducethe designated toilet area to your puppy early on, you should be able to avoidthe common pitfalls.

Common errorsThere are many reasons why “toilet training” might not go as smoothly:

Over-feeding, feeding an unsuitable diet or giving a variety of foods•Not feeding at regular times or feeding at the wrong times (which could•cause overnight defecation)Punishing the puppy for accidents (this can make it scared of toileting)•Feeding salty foods (e.g. stock cubes) which makes them drink more•Using ammonia-based cleaning compounds (which smell similar to urine)•Leaving the back door open for the puppy to come and go as it pleases•Leaving the puppy on its own too long, so that it is forced to go indoors•Using praise words when they toilet, as opposed to specific cue words•Access to rugs or carpet (which are nice and absorbent – just like grass)•Laziness on your part, resulting in more wees indoors than outdoors•Excited urination on greeting (if this occurs, take your puppy outside before•you greet it and tone down your greeting so it is less overwhelming)Expecting your puppy to go right through the night when it is very young.•

Puppies are a lot of work, but by putting time and effort into toilet training youwill be rewarded with a dog that will ask to go to his designated area to toilet

Parish council election resultsAt the time of writing, we were just getting our parliamentary, district andparish council election results. By now you are probably aware that Christine Block is the district councillor for Boyton, Hollesley and Shingle Street (as partof Deben Ward) and Ray Herring is the district councillor for Capel St Andrew,(as part of Orford and Eyke Ward).

The four villages that receive a copy of Village Voices each month are represented through four different parish councils. In Boyton, Hollesley and Capel St Andrew, the elections were uncontested, which means that these parishes filled all their seats without needing an election, or attracted fewer candidates than seats. In Hollesley and Boyton, there are two vacant seats on each council. So if you are interested do check your parish notice board for more information on how to get involved.

Hollesley WIOur Darts Team won the competition evening and are in the Darts Pair Final atthe end of June. We are proud of them for doing well. Visits have includedSpeakers Showcase in Ipswich and Archery at Stowmarket, where Gina Forsythexcelled. Speaker Hattie Bennett brought her cello to give us marvellous enter-tainment, telling us humorously about her musical education and experience,and her musical group at Felixstowe. Hattie played short pieces to illustrate hertalk, some soulful, some funny. Much interest was shown in the Hollesley WIstall at the Village Hall Open Day in April where President Joan Butcher was onhand to answer questions, and some of our many activities were displayed.Rosemary Busby and team worked hard to provide rolls, cakes and beveragesfor visitors. In May we held a Cake Stall at the Village Shop and we also wentshopping in Norwich.

thanks were given by Melton. The entertainment came from the Tall Storiesgroup from Martlesham -six people who took turns to tell stories and then we had to decide if they were true or false. A hardworking committee catered for the evening. A ploughman's supper was served, followed by hot apple pie and cream (thanks to members who made delicious pies) with coffee to follow. A good time was had by all and it was a rare opportunity to meet and talk to our near WI neighbours.

This is the Women's Institute Centenary Year. The Queen, the Princess Royaland the Countess of Wessex will attend the Centenary Annual General Meetingat the Albert Hall on June 4th. Four of our members will be there. The rest of uswill join other local WIs in Leiston for a screening of this event. President JoanButcher and ex-President Rosemary Busby will attend the special Garden Partyat Buckingham Palace on June 2nd. We meet on the second Thursday of the

month at 7.30 pm at Hollesley Village Hall. We'd love to see youif you feel like coming along for a taster. Our website is:sefwi.org.uk/institute/Hollesley

The Suffolk Punch Trust has a new arrival

Allow us to introduce you to our first arrival for 2015, Colony Boo. She was born on Tuesday 21st of April at 2.30am. Both Boo and Colony Vee (who is six years old and first time mummy) are doing very well. Boo’s daddy is Suffolk Punch Champion, 10 year old Best Thorpe Achilles.

Boo at the moment stays close to mum in the paddock, but is not shy of people and often followsmummy to the gate to say hello to our visitors. At the moment she spends most of her day frolicking,sleeping and nuzzling mum for an extra drink of milk.We hope she will be joined by other playmates soon,however we are very grateful for her safe introduction into the world and the smile that she brings to our visitors faces.

Charlotte Dunning, a visitor to the Suffolk Punch Stud said: She is an extra rayof sunshine on a spring morning; I can’t wait to follow her progress.

Why not come and see our foal, thenwatch the older horses in training; explore pets paddock and hop on ourtractor trailer ride? You can enjoy ourchildren’s trails and have fun in the play-ground, then head to the Suffolk Punchcafé for a lovely meal.

With our new annual pass you only pay your admission once and can then visit us as many times as you like on our open days for a whole 12 months. Dogs on leads are welcome and we have lovely walking trails around the site.

We are open Friday-Monday until the endof May, then 6 days a week (closed Tuesdays) until the end of the Summer holidays. Look out for our wonderful Suffolk Punch Horses at the Suffolk and Norfolk Shows: you may see one of our stallions or even our fantastic team of driving horses.

Hollesley Gardening ClubHenstead Exotic gardens got us all thinking of those lazydays of summer when we can all enjoy the garden. You canvisit Henstead Exotic Gardens for yourself and see the trans-formation from Suffolk to tropical island.

June is a month to venture out, so we are visiting Katie’s Garden on Wednesday 17th June to discuss plants that are suitable for sun, sea and gravel gardens. We will explore the delights of the nursery and purchase one or two little gems. If you would like to come on this trip please contact Karrie Langdon on 412114 for details.

Gardening Tips for June1. Hoe borders regularly to keep down weeds2. Be water-wise, especially in drought-affected areas3. Pinch out side-shoots on tomatoes4. Harvest lettuce, radish, other salad crops and early potatoes5. Position summer hanging baskets and containers outside6. Mow lawns at least once a week7. Plant out summer bedding8. Stake tall or floppy plants9. Prune many spring-flowering shrubs10. Shade greenhouses to keep them cool and prevent scorch.

Restaurant reviewWe have new management at the Shepherd and Dog inHollesley - Anton and Cathy. Anton has had years ofexperience as a chef and it shows in the varied menuand excellent presentation. We first visited the pubin March and had a very enjoyable meal. Since thenhe has introduced his summer menu. There are allthe staple pub grub options plus some interestingnibbles and vegetarian dishes.

When we visited recently we thought the dining room wasmuch cosier and loved the sofas in the bar area. Service was friendly and efficient and the food was very good. For a lighter lunch the baguettes arevery tasty and there is a good choice of salads and jacket potatoes. Dessertscome in two sizes so you really can't resist that final indulgence. The wine listis short but diverse and extremely good value. They have also installed a stateof the art coffee machine, so tea, coffee and hot chocolate are always on tap.If you buy a raffle ticket for Hollesley Village Fete, you may even win a Mealfor Two (including wine) which Anton has kindly donated.

Hollesley Community Garden

The date of the last work party coincided with the Grand National and The Boat Race so unfortunately we had a muchdepleted workforce.

We did get some of the glass put back in the green house, got some weedingdone, topped up some of the raised beds and planted some more perennials.Laurie has made great progress with the wildflower garden and everything isstarting to grow again includingthe rhubarb, which we were ableto sell at the village club event.

For those of you who bought piesand crumbles from outside the village shop, I hope you enjoyedthem! Thanks to Chris and Carolfor allowing us to do this.

By now the youngsters who attend the Just 42 youth bus willhave made a start on the bug hotel project (see photo). They are meeting again on the evening of 24thJune and hope to complete the project then. Any youngsters are welcome to help on this project - just come along about 7pm. If you have any old crocks, tiles, bricks for this project please leave them inside the gates of the Community Garden. Many thanks.

Bellringers get about!It might be thought that we never leave Hollesley Tower, but one of the joysand very best aspects of the hobby is its sociability and that you can do it any-where and nearly everywhere! (it’s also very inexpensive). I had an inkling ofthis before learning to ring, but experienced it for myself soon after startingwhen during one of my regular visits to my parents’ home on the Isle of Man Idecided to go along to the local practice to watch. I wasn’t allowed to do justthis however and was soon joining in with them! Suddenly I had a new set of 8friends – even more poignant as up to this time I had only managed to gainone island friend outside the family, despite visiting for nearly 40 years.

That was ten years ago and I now ring with Manx ringers at least twice a yearand have joined them on ringing holidays in England. At the end of the secondholiday (in Coventry) we were all happily munching away on Chinese take-away and drinking beer at the home of our host when they asked me if I had anynice towers near me! Well, I never imagined they would want to come all theway to Suffolk from the Isle of Man, but in March they did!

So it was that on 20th March I had the pleasure of welcoming Annette, Louise,Marion, Natasha and Penny from the Isle of Man, and Bob from Coventry toSuffolk. We met first at Bredfield - a very nice country start to the holiday, itbeing a 6 bell tower. Then having settled them in at their self-catering in Wood-bridge, I led them to the Sorrel Horse at Shottisham for a meal, followed byringing at Hollesley. Did you notice a difference in the quality that evening?

On Saturday we rangat Ufford, Aldeburgh,Theberton, Rendhamand Pettistree and hadwhat might become atradition of Chinesetake-aways in theevening. Many thanksto Hollesley ringersJane, Peter and Mickyand to Elaine andother Suffolk ringersfor supplementing ournumbers.

On Sunday we joined the Ipswich St. Mary le Tower ringers for service ringingfollowed by St Lawrence (the oldest ring of 5 in the world). Our last tower wasCoddenham where we were treated to tea and cake after the service. All in all athoroughly enjoyable time. I hope this gives you an idea of what a worthwhilehobby this is for anybody aged from 10 to 80 and from any walk of life. Holles-ley are planning to have a couple of extra long practices in July with an earlystart at 7.00 so that we can welcome anyone interested and who might like tocome and have a go. Look in next month’s Village Voices for dates!

Ofcourse I must not forget Lydia Cavesbert who fought so hard to keep it going.When so many excellent volunteers were retiring and there were no new recruits, it was a shame.

Nothing ever goes on in the village!This myth was laid to rest at the Hollesley Open Day on April 18th. The daywas a great success with over 25 clubs and organisations represented.

Activities ranged from the more active - such as the gardening clubs, Judo,Yoga, Tai Chi, Pilates, Bellringing and the horses of the RDA and Suffolk PunchTrust, to the more sedate activities like French conversation and the WelcomeClub. There was the opportunity to have a go at activities with Boules for thetwo-legged and Dog Agility for our four-legged friends. Just 42 was there forthe younger members: and the Hollesley Players are always looking for talentif you fancy treading the boards. Food was on offer from the WI country caféand Fair Trade goods from Di Barnard in aid of the Church.

The day would not have been a success without the people who organised andcontributed to it. So a big thank you to Stephen Dawson for producingposters, Brian Bennett for laminating them - and the photo competition certifi-cates, Karrie Langdon for organising the day, Ben Harding for organising thephoto competition and Dennis Driver for the trophies. And many thanks to theorganisations that contributed prizes for the photo competition which was runon the day. (Details and two of the winning photos are on the previous page).

If you were unable to attend and would like details of any of the organisationsthat attended, then drop me an email to: [email protected]
