Send in the clowns by New Forest Mark and Hugh
Send in the clowns? New Forest Mark and Hugh offer a rather more serious commentary this week, on current events Introductory note: This week Hugh and Mark would like to offer an apology in advance. As Mark says: "For the past weeks the dastardly duo has managed to steer clear of the dreaded ‘C’ word. We feel that you’ve suffered quite enough on the topic, every blasted evening! But this is too much. Whilst scientific advisors are having to make very unpopular decisions based on hard facts and thorough research, certain people who really ought to know better are chipping away at the foundations of this work. We say shame on them." Homework, you know you don’t want to but…Read More -

Shrove Tuesday: how do you eat your pancakes?
Shrove Tuesday: how do you eat your pancakes? by Gill Hepburn and Fiona Hill - updated for 2021 Pancake Day, or Shrove Tuesday, is the traditional feast day before the start of Lent on Ash Wednesday. The word shrove is a form of the English word shrive, which means to obtain absolution for one's sins by way of Confession and doing penance. Lent, the 40 days leading up to Easter, was traditionally a time of fasting and on Shrove Tuesday, Anglo-Saxon Christians went to confession and were "shriven" (absolved from their sins). A bell would be rung to call people to confession. This came to be called the “Pancake Bell” and is still rung today. Shrove Tuesday always falls 47 days…Read More -

The power of good by New Forest Mark and Hugh
The power of good Antithesis to the publicity seekers - New Forest Mark and Hugh with reflections on our times and a moving tribute to Captain Tom Introduction by Mark this week: Captain Sir Thomas Moore was a determined and modest man who did more than raise a huge amount of money for NHS charities. He galvanised a nation which, during this crisis, had been beset by conflicting advice and political point scoring. He gave us life and optimism by his example. As is always the case with these stories there were many that suddenly popped out of the woodwork to publicly praise him. The nation ignored them and concentrated on this magnificent fellow by opening their wallets. The man was…Read More -
Downton Abbey day for Colten Care home residents
Let's just go back a century! Downton Abbey inspires a day of mystery and fun for Colten Care home residents One of Colten Care's homes was able to turn the clock back a whole century with its art deco theme and a Downton Abbey-inspired day of fun for its residents. Residents and team members at Colten Care’s Bourne View in Poole dressed as characters from the popular TV drama series set on a country estate in the post-Edwardian era. The day began with a 1920s-style cocktail reception featuring Mimosas - champagne and chilled orange - with sherry and soft drink options. It was followed by lunch in the home’s glitzy Hepburn restaurant consisting of recipe ideas from a Downton Abbey cookbook specially…Read More -
Craft and creativity in a Covid age with New Forest Mark and Hugh
Old school, new school, young school New Forest Mark and Hugh with a rather more sober than usual contemplation about the role of craft and creativity, in a Covid age and beyond This week Mark takes on a rather more serious theme which is definitely cause for consideration by ourselves as well - although it's true even many more of us probably relax these days with soduku, crosswords and jigsaw puzzles...and Hugh's cartoon lightens any serious mood!

Valerie Singleton, recycler extraordinaire Those of us of a fine vintage will be more than familiar with the ritual of rinsing and saving yoghurt…Read More
