Autumn ISSUE
It’s that time of the year when the kids go back to school which, I don’t know about you, but always seems to put a bit more order back into life. And although I really don’t look forward to the shorter days and colder weather, I do look forward to what autumn harks... MANY fantastic events. With Art on the Prom kicking September off, the Christmas Lights switch-on event will certainly end off the season perfectly. The Felixstowe Magazine is most known for its editorial, and Autumn’s edition won’t let you down... this issue has some incredible personal stories which, journalistically, have been such a pleasure to write. The local people we connect with are truly amazing, and whether they have a big role to play or a more humble role in life, their stories always carry a profound message. So I wish you all a lovely reading experience. With love,

Art on the Prom returns on Sunday 1st September The free art festival, in its 16th year, will stretch along the Felixstowe seafront from the pier to the Spa Gardens, showcasing over 100 artists to over 20,000 visitors during one of the biggest outdoor art festivals in Suffolk. A wide variety of art will be on show, displaying work produced by local, professional and amateur artists, featuring glass, ceramics, metalwork, willow work, painting and much more. The art festival, which is free to attend, gives visitors the chance to purchase pieces of art to take home and treasure or take part in have-a-go activities on offer for all age groups, creating a piece of art, to take away. Visitors can make a day of it, enjoying everything that Felixstowe has to offer with Art on the Prom bestowing a feast for the senses. The popular art festival will include music, food and refreshments for all to enjoy whilst taking in the art on offer during a leisurely stroll along the prom. Nichola Adams, Art on the Prom organiser explains, “Art on the Prom has grown into a really special, local tradition. It really is democratising art - anyone can apply, anyone can visit and we want to keep it that way. It’s brilliant to have the schools involved so that everyone can feel a part of the day and it’s a great way to use our beautiful prom and show off what Felixstowe has to offer. It’s another one of the town’s amazing events run entirely voluntarily, so it’s a great way of bringing the community together.” 6
The Felixstowe Magazine - AUTUMN 2019
A Feast for the Arts
In the lead up to the event, local willow artist Tracy Barritt-Brown, creator of the Spa Garden’s willow family, has been busy creating a large plastic octopus sculpture made of buoys, nets, fishing wire and other plastics collected locally. Following the event the spectacle of tentacles will be on display at Felixstowe Ferry. Tracy recently led a schools project for Art on the Prom, sponsored by Jackamans Solicitors, to engage schools in Felixstowe to collect single-use plastic. Pupils from Causton Junior School, Langer Primary School and Colneis Junior School collected 20m2 of plastic, which would have otherwise gone into landfall. This waste has been transformed into an underwater world of corals, creatures and sea plants made of plastic waste to accompany the Octopus on display at the festival. Installation creator Tracy Barritt-Brown says, “The creativity of the students was wonderful. Their vision for turning everyday objects, which otherwise would be waste,
A Feast for the Arts into sea creatures was amazing! We had flatfish, pufferfish and even a lobster. The students all had a chance to use tools and equipment they may not have used before and had freedom for a day to immerse themselves in a purely creative environment, the products of which will be exhibited at Art on the Prom for all to see on 1st September. It’s a really enriching project which everyone is so happy to be involved in.” A travelling exhibition Food Wars: The Battle on the Home Front, will also be on display at the event, exploring the relationship between conflict and food, with original documents and archive footage of East Anglia from the Imperial War Museum. Art on the Prom is expecting a bumper year of visitors this year, attracting more than 20,000 visitors, growing year-onyear, showcasing art along Felixstowe’s award winning seafront to visitors from far and wide.
Nichola Adams added, “We would like to thank all of the local businesses that have supported and sponsored this year’s event, who help make this event possible and a year-on-year success; Jackamans Felixstowe, Pier Marketing, Felixstowe Town Council, East of England Co-op, Healey’s Print Group, Vikings Estate Agents & Property Management, KingslandLinassi, Coes Felixstowe, Fred Olsen Travel, The Orwell Hotel and The Suffolk Coast Destination Management Organisation.” Art on the Prom is a non-profit event, run by volunteers and would not be the success it is without the time and effort of volunteers. If you would like to get involved as a volunteer on 1st September, please contact the Art of the Prom team via email: felixstoweartontheprom@gmail.com.

LOCAL ARTIST
Tracy Barritt-Brown Meet the artist behind the giant recycled plastic octopus! How long have you lived in Felixstowe and what’s your favourite thing about the town? I have lived in Felixstowe for over a year and have been visiting here for fifteen years. I love living on the Suffolk coast, it has been the inspiration behind my work for many years. I love Felixstowe’s live-and-let-live attitude. What art do you do and what’s been your artistic inspiration? I’ve had a life-long love of all things equine and spent many years creating fine art alongside a hectic career working in banking. Following an MS diagnosis in my mid-twenties I had time to explore the things I really wanted to do, working in the arts. A pivotal moment was when I attended a country fair. I was inspired by the willow sculpture artists and wanted to learn the craft.
‘‘
I undertook a course to sculpt willow, which transformed my life

The Felixstowe Magazine - AUTUMN 2019
I undertook a course to sculpt willow, which transformed my life. I now spend most of my time sculpting animals, abstract forms and nature in willow and clay. I also paint a variety of seascapes and landscapes inspired by my many years of living by the sea in Guernsey and Felixstowe. Tell us about the octopus - is there a story behind it? For this year’s Art on the Prom I wanted to create a sculpture that signified the times we live in, to make people stop and think about their use of single-use plastic and the impact that the waste has on our local environment. I moved away from willow and its organic nature and set about a change to work in plastic to make a statement. I collected plastic waste locally that would have gone to landfill, and devised a plan to create a large octopus made of plastic, buoys, nets and fishing wire. The octopus is the smartest invertebrate on the planet. Due to their intelligence, octopuses collect stones and objects to place around their caves, creating their own garden. It is this behaviour that inspired the plastic octopus sculpture with its very own garden, surrounded by plastic sea creatures and corals created by pupils from local schools. It was really important for me to engage school students in a creative project to have fun using tools and creating their own pieces of artwork out of plastic. The octopus sculpture will be on display at Art on the Prom on Sunday 1st September from 10am to 4:30pm and will then be moved to a new permanent home in Felixstowe.
Tracy Barritt-Brown with her bounty of plastic waste found in Felixstowe
That sounds brilliant! Do you have a higher purpose as an artist? I like to think that my pieces make people pause and take a moment out of busy lives to think about what they are looking at and the meaning behind it. I like to share my art with others and make them smile. I have a big focus on sustainability in my work through my use of materials. The willow and clay sculptures are made from natural materials and are organic in design with a minimum environmental footprint. They complement the landscapes in which they are found and do not pollute the environment. This is very important to me. Are there any projects you’d like to get your teeth into? Through my love of horses I would love to create willow horses; the Suffolk Punch interests me, harking back to Suffolk’s agricultural heritage. The scale of these
will be a real challenge. I have recently taken on commissions to create a sculpture park and an Irish Draught Horse, which will be a fantastic challenge. Is there anything you’re particularly proud of? I was delighted to have been asked to create The Willow Family sculpture for Art on the Prom titled ‘A Great Day Out’ which has taken up residence in the Spa Gardens. It has been so well received, with photographs being shared on social media across the globe. Do you have any fun/inspiring stories about your art or exhibiting? Creating the octopus sculpture and working with the children in local schools was especially fun. It was a great environment for the pupils to learn that there is no wrong answer in art, any mistakes are serendipitous, teaching them about freedom and creativity. AUTUMN 2019 - The Felixstowe Magazine 9
People commonly request commissions to symbolise and remember their beloved animals and pets. It is an honour to create these sculptures and provide a comfort to them. What advice would you give to an upcoming/aspiring artist? I would advise any artist to find their own sense of style. There is no wrong way with art as it is so subjective. Find a source of inspiration and keep on creating. What does Art on the Prom mean to you as an individual artist and as in the art community? Art on the Prom has enabled me to work on art installations, which is such a joy so it has been a fantastic opportunity for me. My willow sculpting journey has been fantastic. I also love to share my work with others, enabling them to take home a piece of my work that has been lovingly crafted, 10

so being able to sell my wares at the event is ideal. Art on the Prom provides a fantastic opportunity for amateur and professional artists to showcase their work. There are so many artists on display, using a plethora of styles and materials. There is a real community of Felixstowe artists who work all year-round to produce pieces of work to showcase at Art on the Prom, and this is matched by the raft of art lovers here in Felixstowe who look forward to the event. How can people find your work or get in touch? I am showcasing and selling my pieces at Art on the Prom, on Felixstowe seafront, Sunday 1st September from 10-4:30pm. I can also be contacted for commission work via email: tracybarrittbrowne@yahoo.co.uk or call 07497 099946.

Yes, you can go crabbing all year round! If the weather is okay you will sill have great fun trying! Crabbing 1-2 hours before high tide all the way through 1-2 hours after high tide the water will have good movement and this is when you have the best chance to catch the crabs. Don’t forget - don’t keep the crabs out of water for long, and put them back gently.

Felixstowe Play Areas An exciting evolution to Felixstowe’s play areas for children! On Wednesday 7th August the Mayor of Felixstowe, Cllr Nick Barber, re-opened the Gosford Way play area with the help of local children and families. Following refurbishment of a £265,000 project three play areas in Felixstowe have now been given improved facilities. The Mayor said, “It was a great event, many hundreds attended. All the three play areas will be great assets to our town and countless of hours of fun for our children.” Cavendish Park has a new Multi-use Games Area and the play equipment at Gosford Way has been replaced with 18
The Felixstowe Magazine - AUTUMN 2019
14 new pieces. The project also includes improvements to Allenby Park play area, which was due to reopen in the week commencing 12 August. This includes replacing and widening of the 5-a-side pitch and additional equipment added to the existing play area. Cllr Letitia Smith, East Suffolk’s Cabinet Member for Communities, Leisure and Tourism, said, “I am delighted that these play areas have been improved for children to enjoy. We had a fantastic turnout at the official reopening and great feedback from the people who will be using the areas – the children!” Work on the project started in May after Felixstowe Town Council, East Suffolk Council and Suffolk Coastal Norse worked together to identify the three play areas in need of an upgrade as part of ongoing investment in the area.

10-minute Beef Stir Fry Tuck into some seriously yummy nosh with this hearty ten-minute dish! We know what it’s like - the kids have just gone back to school and you feel like you’re on the go non-stop. With this delicious 10-minute meal, you can’t go wrong in satisfying the whole family and satiating those rumbling tummies! This recipe is for the stir fry sauce to add to pre-prepared noodles. Ingredients (serves 4 people) 350g beef 2 tbsp vegetable oil 3 tbsp soy sauce 60g ginger 15g garlic 300g carrots 1 tbsp honey 30g pumpkin seeds Salt and pepper to taste Fresh coriander (to garnish) 22
The Felixstowe Magazine - AUTUMN 2019
Method Heat up the vegetable oil in a good sized wok. Meanwhile, slice the beef into cubes or slices (no thicker than 1cm). Once the oil is gently smoking, add the sliced beef and turn up the heat to the highest setting. For 3 minutes, cook and stir frequently. Then add the carrots, ginger, pumpkin seeds and garlic. Stir fry for another 3 minutes at the same high temperature setting, then add the soy sauce, honey, salt and pepper. Continue to cook and stir for 2-3 minutes until the sauce starts to get lovely and syrupy (usually just before you become hypnotised by the salivating smell). Note: be mindful not to overcook the carrots - they’re better suited to the dish when they have a slight crunch). Add your pre-prepared noodles. Serve your vibrant dinner in generous can’t-wait-to-tuck-in bowls and prepare for some happy sighs of satisfaction from around the table!

Book Review
A book review of The Night Olivia Fell by Christina McDonald
A phone call in the middle of the night is the beginning of a nightmare for single mother Abigail Knight. The person on the other end of the line is informing her of an accident involving her 17-yearold daughter Olivia. But Olivia is in her bedroom down the hall, isn’t she? After all, it’s 4:00 in the morning and she is always home by curfew. As she runs down the hall, hoping against hope that the caller was mistaken, she looks into Olivia’s room and sees the empty bed. At that moment, her whole world changes. When Abi arrives at the hospital and is told her daughter is not only brain dead, but pregnant, she once again thinks there must be some sort of mistake. Her daughter, whom she has always tried to keep safe from the world with her numerous rules, has always obeyed without question. Hasn’t she? What is even more disturbing is the realization that the “accident” may not have been an accident at all. But why would someone want to harm her sweet, beautiful daughter? And why are the police so insistent that she must have just tripped and fallen off the bridge on her own? With the help of Anthony Brant, a victim’s advocate within the police department, she discovers that the enemy may be closer than she realized. At the same time, the fiercely independent Abi is forced to let someone inside the barrier she has set up around herself to get the help and comfort she so desperately needs. 24

The Felixstowe Magazine - AUTUMN 2019
In addition to the lovely market, the Festival is also presenting a History of Fashion lecture with a very local theme. Do you remember Pretty’s & Son of Ipswich, Corsetieres? Maybe you know someone or are someone who worked with the company? We have local expert, Roger Kennell, lecturing and presenting a fascinating time line of this big local employer with some fascinating artefacts. This famous and innovative business ‘sole makers for Europe and Colonies of Dr Warners Coraline Corsets’ closed in 1982 but is still fresh in the minds of many local people. To make the lecture accessible to the Deaf community, we have a BSL Interpreter working with Roger during this lecture. Onto the exhibition area and to reflect Roger’s lecture, the exhibition is showcasing beautiful examples of historic and vintage foundation garments, nightwear and housecoats. It’s going to be a feast for the eyes and we are so very grateful to local Vintage fashion experts 1940s Style For You, who are curating the exhibition. If that wasn’t enough, you can join the fabulously named Hair Raid Shelter who will be demonstrating ‘up-do’s’ and sharing their extensive knowledge, skill and
Fabric paraphernalia for an entertaining romp through Mid-19 Century Hair and Beauty Fashions. This entertaining group of ladies are a mine of information and will leave you inspired to pick up your bobby pins and get curling. The Festival not only offers great shopping opportunities but also a chance to improve your skills with 2 workshops on offer this time. The wonderfully named Scarlett Valentine is running a workshop enabling folk to make their own fine feathery fascinator! Great for special occasions, evening parties or simply to feel fabulous, a Fascinator can really make an outfit. All the resources are included in the price so you can simply turn up and get cracking. Oooh, a little warning though – booking is essential as places are extremely limited. What else we hear you ask? Well, the Festival’s very own Mr Tim, Sewing Machine Doctor, is delivering a mini workshop on essential maintenance tips for your beloved sewing machines. You’ll have your machines purring like kittens. Again, booking is essential. The Orwell Hotel are also offering a gorgeous Vintage Afternoon Tea. The prettiness of the settings and
handmade pastries are a delight for the eye as well as the palette. If afternoon is too much for you there is also going to be a wonderful assortment of light snacks, cakes and beverages all served with delightful Swing Music in the background – we daresay nobody would stop you if you fancied a little dance!

Community at the
Heart of the Group Doing their part to care for Felixstowe When Litter-Free Felixstowe launched last November, the Group was determined to work together with other groups and individuals to take pride in the town and remove as much litter from parks, beaches and public spaces as possible. There is a growing sense of ‘togetherness’ as familiar faces mingle with new members. It is a warm friendly collection of people of all ages, united in the belief that plastic needs to be kept out of our seas and oceans but also determined to have some fun, fresh air and a bit of exercise. Certainly, the impact the group is making is being seen in many areas and visitors often remark on how clean the town is as volunteers give up their spare time, and as a result a number of organisations and businesses have also offered support. MSC, one of the largest shipping lines in the world, is now a main sponsor and other local companies including Fred Olsen Travel, the Air Cadets, Grange School and Openreach have assisted. Over the summer, Litter-Free Felixstowe provided ‘bucketeer’ volunteers for the Carnival parade and organising the ‘Big Beach Clean’ which became the lead story on ITV Anglia News. A particular highlight was Suffolk Day on the 21 June, Litter-Free together with Everything Felixstowe and Rubbish Walks put out the open invitation for volunteers and members of the emergency and care services to gather at the Pier to sing Andy Rayner’s ‘Suffolk Song’ together. In total nearly 140 people joined in including the mayor, several councillors, local talent Adam Thomas and the Felixstowe Community Choir ensured the vocals were marvellous! 28

The threat of climate change? Real. The consequences of humans on the planet? Real. The opinion that we can’t do anything about it? False! The opinion that the world is not working together on this? False. The scientists are making their findings known. The (majority) of world leaders are speaking out on the issue. So why are the masses still not making the changes? Why is the message not getting through? 2 reasons: stigma and ignorance. The stigma comes from the way that climate change is a fashionable bandwagon to be on right now, like it’s going to die out in a year or so. The ignorance comes from not believing we can do anything or knowing how. The worst thing? The ignorance feeds the stigma. This is why we at HappyGlobe CIC believe the most influential thing we can do to combat climate change is to educate people on what they can do, and why they should do it. As a young organisation, we are ecstatic about our first and biggest victory so far in terms of proving education is key. Our visit to JayNII Orphanage in Jamestown, Ghana earlier this year has echoed this message in the actions taken by the residents since we left. When we came to the orphanage, the community had never cleaned the beach nor even had the thought to do so, it was simply a part of their world. Since we
30
The Felixstowe Magazine - AUTUMN 2019
Happy Globe have left, we have received videos of the children joyfully working together to clean their area of the beach and keep plastic out of the ocean. If these children in one orphanage, who have nothing compared to the majority of the developed world, can leave their footprint on the fight against climate change, after being shown once, then there is definitely the potential for a much more magnificent impact across the greater population if we all get involved!

There is definitely the potential for a much more magnificent impact
As announced in the last issue, our next international project will be to bring our modified turtle hatchery to the Latin
e American Sea Turtle (LAST) association in Costa Rica for its first field trial. With all 7 species of sea turtle being classified as “vulnerable” or worse in the Endangered Species Chart, efforts towards conservation in this area are increasingly crucial and our design will take off 4-6 weeks of work for the volunteers, freeing up valuable time to bolster the much-needed defence of the sea turtles from poachers. Through the publication of our coming cooperative in LASTs magazine, we are thrilled that the idea has caught the attention of the Loggerhead Marinelife Center in Florida, who have shown a keen interest in seeing how we progress next year! Closer to home, we are still very much on our bee boosting buzz! Following our “Bee Safe” project earlier this year, involving the adoption of a bee colony in our own hive and education of how to encourage our fuzzy friends in the everyday garden, we teamed up
with the Felixstowe Town Council for the Felixstowe in Flower event through promoting the use of wild flowers in town. We are very pleased to announce that this has led to an upcoming collaboration with Felixstowe Town Council and Norse in the early spring of next year to create wildflower patches across Felixstowe! Bring on the bees! We are still outlining the full details, so we look forward to updating you further and inviting you to join us in the next issue! Conservation is key for the survival of not only our animals, our oceans and our bees. Without a drastic change to our everyday habits and rituals, we endanger the whole world. You wouldn’t leave your house dirty; you wouldn’t let your child keep an untidy room. Time to catchup on the housework: piece by piece, space by space, until we become house-proud. We can do it.

LOCAL PERSON
Curtis Culley
Introducing an incredible young local musician with already over 13,000 Youtube views on his debut single release just 3 weeks ago! Having struggled after his diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis, Curtis uses his experiences and life lessons to engage in ‘that conversation’ about depression and anxiety, in an incredibly uplifting and inspiring way. We got to meet this lovely local singer-songwriter to hear how it all began... So, how did your journey begin? I’ve lived in Felixstow my whole life. I live with my mum and brothers and my sister. They’ve always been very, very supportive, especially my mum, dad and uncle. They’ve always backed me up. I moved to London for 3 years for university but recently came back to 32
The Felixstowe Magazine - AUTUMN 2019
Felixstowe. Uni was useful to figure out what musical direction I wanted to go in. I met many like-minded people and there were a lot of opportunities which I made the most of to learn the best I could and gain the experience. I learned how to play piano, sing and write by myself. Learning this way is what really inspired me. People can be quite flaky when it comes to responsibility to get things done - so I wanted to learn how to do as much as possible myself. I felt I’d be happier to not need to rely on anyone else - and I do feel happier for sure. I’ve been really inspired by the likes of Jon Bellion, James Bay, Ed Sheeran, Florida, Georgia Line and many others - it’s that skill as a songwriter where they can connect with people in their own unique way. There’s so much meaning. Listening to musicians like this makes me see the need to find my own sound and style. I wrote “Isolated” which blends catchy pop melodies with thoughtprovoking melancholic lyrics.
This track has done really well. On Youtube it’s had over 13,000 views within the first 3 weeks it was released and on Spotify it’s had over 40,000 streams. My next song, “Break from Me” will be released soon - it’s a live session with piano and singing about not wanting to be me anymore. It was a time of my life when I didn’t want to be myself. I had been struggling with fatigue amongst other severe physical issues and when I got the diagnosis of MS, I just couldn’t handle it. I took anti-depressant and they messed with my mind. I had a lot of dark and negative thoughts which anti-depressants do to you. I tried to take my own life with an overdose. I didn’t want it anymore. I deeply regret doing that now. The second it happened I made myself throw up and called my mum for help.
‘‘
I want people to turn the dark in their life into light and that’s what my music is about.
I got counselling with the Suffolk Coastal team, which was far more helpful than antidepressants - everyone needs someone to talk to. It’s hard because I feel like I’m out of that time in my life – it’s been almost a year now - but I still have days… things like this you need to work on everyday. Because I have MS, it really effects me – I don’t think I’d be going through this as losing who I once was to who I am now was a hard transition. It’s something I have to take day by day. I think as people we should do more like that, to try and live for today and not for tomorrow or yesterday. I say things in a way that’s raw and what everyone feels but might be afraid to say.
I speak from my emotions. All songs I wrote are about different times in my life. It’s a great release for me but I also want other people to listen and feel they’re not alone. That’s my main goal. It’s times like this, times of internal struggle, that isn’t taken as seriously as it should, and we should really talk about these things. Music is my way of doing this - to speak to people on a genuine level. That’s amazing. How did you come to find out you had MS and how do you deal with is? When I first got it I had no idea what it was. We caught it early but the meds didn’t work. My left eye would always be really painful – that’s how it started. After that I got various other symptoms – the doctors didn’t listen to me when I had certain symptoms but then I got a neurologists appointment and a brain scan. They’d found inflammation of the brain which in is part of what MS is. I was taken aback by this as previously I was told by doctors that there was nothing to worry about in terms of my symptoms. When I had the diagnosis in 2017, I cried a lot – it was awful news. I had to choose what treatment to have which was really difficult. I decided to go with the strongest thing which is like chemotherapy to kill white blood cells. It made me feel terrible, that said, MS gave me a lot in a way. I was musical before MS. I started playing drums when I was 12 – right up til I was 20. Then I learned the guitar when I was 22. Then I started to learn how to sing too. Coordination with drums isn’t what it used to be because of MS so I’ve had to let that go sadly, however, my performances include singing and guitar. I’m a driven person so if I want to do something, I aim to do my best. It’s a good trait to have because some days I just want to give up but I’m determined. Some days I have to rest and give myself a break. My first treatment was in January 2018 and the second round was in January 2019. It’s been 2 years of hell. Extremes of how I feel: sometimes I can’t feel my left leg, I’m in pain, fatigued and struggle to walk. AUTUMN 2019 - The Felixstowe Magazine 33

On a good day I go for a run and feel quite good. It’s very random and there’s a lot of complications about it. It’s not a curable disease but it can be slowed down and I’ve learned to roll with the punches. Wow, your determination is admirable. We checked out your new release it’s gorgeous! Ah thanks! Isolated is about the struggles I’ve experienced with anxiety and depression after my diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis. It is an upbeat yet melancholic pop song.
‘‘
I express my feelings on these topics, in the hope others can find comfort in knowing they are not alone I’m really happy with the results as it’s the first single I’ve made and produced. I recorded everything here in Felixstowe and then went to a good friend in London who designed the sound. I then go to a friend at Westbury Records in London to get it mixed and tidied up. The feature image on the previous page (as well as bottom right) is a shot for the music video which I shot with friends in Ipswich near the Orwell Bridge. Isolated can be streamed on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon and Dezzer.

How can people see you play live? I play in lots of places including locally in Felixstowe, but also some other nice places have been Suffolk Food Hall and Knightsbridge, London. Knightsbridge was amazing. We played in a tiny bar between Luis Vuitton, Gucci and Versace… was funny to have such a small pub in the middle of all these big brands. People loved the music. Do you have any funny busking stories? Yeah! We went busking a while ago outside Harrods. This guy came up to me and showed me a £20 note, came right up to me and then said, “This isn’t for you!” and then walked off! It was hilarious! Once we played in a pub and some guy asked if he could sing. He sounded terrible and the whole pub was laughing. Things like that always make fun memories. Most memorable gig was playing in Felixstowe’s Café Nero – it was an event for MS awareness and to help a local lady called Emma to go to Mexico to get MS treatment. It was nice to be part of that. I’m a solo artist but I have an incredibly gifted friend, Oscar Charlton. He does backing singing for me and we’ve playing for over 10 years together. A friend from college plays the cajon, which is unusual and pulls the crowds. Your story is amazing. Thank you for sharing it. Do you have any message to someone who might be in a similar passion as you? Yes, I’d like to give the message to people that with anything in life, persistence is the key to getting through. Giving up is the easy option, but keep going and this will get you the most rewards… so don’t give up! Wow - what a guy.

Bounce in Felixstowe A choreographed dance-cardio based workout on mini-trampolines
There’s oodles of scientific research on the benefits, but most notably NASA calls it “the most efficient and effective exercise yet devised by man” due to the extra gravitational force that the trampoline pad adds. But that was back in the 80’s... wait till you see what we’ve done to the workout now! Our moto is ‘FUN, FRIENDLY, FIERCE’. In a single 1 hour workout you can burn up to 700 calories and whoop your way to a brilliant endorphin release, which gives you that natural ‘feel good’ feeling to boost your mood! Low Impact The trampoline absorbs 87% of the impact making it a great exercise for those with knee and joint problems. Recommended by Physio’s and occupational therapists as a safe form of exercise. Rapid Weight Loss 3 times more effective than standard floor based fitness due to the gravity and g-force provided by the trampoline. Cardiovascular fitness Increased aerobic and lung capacity through the effect of the blood being pumped round the body while jumping. This makes it the ideal exercise for runners trying to improve their performance or anyone just trying to reduce their blood pressure and cholesterol. Stronger Bones, balance, coordination and agility Rebounding stimulates bone growth by up 25% and restores bone density, therefore assisting in the prevention of osteoporosis.
Through the use of routines and the focus on maintaining balance, it has been shown to have a positive impact on motor skills, balance and co-ordination by around 70% after only 6 sessions.

A Good Place to Start Introducing a new contributor to our regular blog: Isn’t life wonderful? One morning in July, while I was delving into my Pain au Chocolat and latte on the way into work, being overtaken by ladies in leggings and gentlemen in Lycra leaving not much to the imagination, I wondered if it might be time to take up the dreaded ‘E word’. No, not Eggs Benedict, although that would have been nice, but Exercise. At school I was never one of the sporty ones. I always partook in the obligatory netball and hockey, and was quite good at falling over on the Astro Turf (I believe a classmate at the beginning of the lesson one day said, “Do you want me to push you over now to get it over and done with?”), but I often felt that I didn’t have the build or stamina to be a proper sportswoman. I used to play football in primary school, and quite enjoyed it, until, during my first day of secondary school I was told adamantly that ‘girls don’t play football’. If only I hadn’t listened to them, I might have been playing for England now. Or not, but you never know.
So, as a full-fledged adult I came to the conclusion that it was time to shape up. Thanks to Instagram adverts showing off multi-coloured leggings, protein shakes and the ‘10 best exercises for fabulous glutes’, I thought, why not? I tried a daily jog, but as I felt my dash for the train was quite enough running, I quickly disposed of that idea. Fellow mums were racing off after the school run to the local pool, but I’m a can’t swim/won’t swim type and work full time, so that was a big no-no for me. And don’t get me started on gym memberships. Then there were less conventional sports: archery (but my aim wasn’t particularly good), horse riding (I live in London and would need to take out a loan to afford more than one lesson a year), boating (did I mention I can’t swim?), and cycling (where I discovered my balance isn’t as good as I thought it was). I gave up finding the perfect sport for a long while, until one day I found my forte. Enough cardio to work up a sweat, enough camaraderie to make the whole thing worth going to twice a week, and an excellent excuse to punch and kick things. Kickboxing. I’ve learned self-defence techniques, made new friends and, as a side note I’m now able to do more than one push-up without collapsing. I’m not about to get a blackbelt or anything, but if I want to keep eating pasta I think it’s a good place to start. Written by Becky Danese

Positive Pals A wonderful local support group offering advice and comfort Positive Pals is a support group, based in Old Felixstowe, for people with Chronic Fatigue Syndrone and/or Fibromyalgia. These debilitating, chronic conditions, whilst different, share many common symptoms including unrelenting fatigue, muscle pain, ‘brain fog’ and many more. They also share the fact that there is no cure, very little effective symptom relief and they are poorly understood and often unrecognised or accepted by the medical profession or the wider public. They are also largely invisible conditions meaning sufferers look fine on the outside but feel rubbish inside. All this often leads to sufferers feeling isolated and abandoned by their GPs, their friends and even their family which is where Positive Pals comes 40
The Felixstowe Magazine - AUTUMN 2019
in. As a support group we cannot offer treatments or solutions but we do offer a much needed opportunity to meet with others who accept and understand, who do not judge or disbelieve but just behave as friends. We meet once a month for a chat over coffee/tea and biscuits in a quiet, friendly environment and occasionally we have a speaker or craft session. Fellow members are always happy to share ideas and treatments they have found to help with symptom relief or managing their condition, but primarily meetings are about having a good time with friends and forgetting for a couple of hours how rubbish they feel. If you would like more information about our group please visit our website at: www.positivepals.org, email us at: info@positivepals.org or phone Liz or David on 01394 279840.
Penny’s Dogs Writing poetry for children, all in the name of supporting Guide Dogs I’ve always been able to write poems about different things from people to events that have happened, but when I started puppy walking for Guide Dogs obviously the poems took on a whole new theme. I started posting them on one of the guide dog facebook pages and people loved them. I think writing about sleepless nights, sick puppies, puddles on the carpet and such touched every puppy walker out there. I then began to get requests from people to write ones about their guide dogs, or about friends and even to write a best man’s speech in verse! The idea to put some of these together into a book was like a dream that I thought would never happen, but so many people asked for them in a book I took the plunge. Thanks to great support from local businesses and a great friend, Stuart Harris, book one, Through the eyes of a dog went to print and we sold enough copies to name a Guide Dog puppy. Close on its heels came book two, Walking in Sunshine which again sold enough copies to name another puppy. The books cover all emotions, containing those that will make you cry and others that will bring smiles and laughter but everyone who’s had a pet will relate to them. Many of our Guide Dog speakers now use several of these poems as art of their talks to different groups. Earlier this year people began asking if there would be another book. It’s not something I’d planned but with the
arrival of a new puppy my pen was soon scratching on paper and with a few others I’d written there was soon enough to fill the pages of another book. Thanks again to Goldstar Transport for their support in sponsoring the printing. I now have book three, Born to Guide already selling fast. I’m hoping that once again I’ll raise enough to name a puppy. Fundraising for Guide Dogs has become a passion and seeing how much these wonderful dogs change peoples lives makes everything worthwhile. I only play a very small part but I love what I do. With the lifetime cost of each of these working dogs being in excess of £58,000 every penny really does count. If anyone would like a copy of any of the books please email: penny.parker@btinternet.com. Also if any group is interested in booking a speaker from Guide Dogs please get in touch - I’d be happy to help. AUTUMN 2019 - The Felixstowe Magazine 41

Roma Manteiga-Nichols Young teen using her talent to do good in the town
Most 14-years-old teenagers are normally found hanging out with their friends or on social media. For one teenager from Ipswich, Roma Manteiga-Nicholson, stage name Roma, you will find her actively promoting herself and raising funds for local charities. In 2016 Roma’s mother, Rosa, volunteered for the Ipswich Winter Night Centre and Roma, wanting to help decided to use her talent of song writing and singing to record a 3 track EP called Welcome to the Waterfront with all the sales money going to support the Night Shelter. She set herself a target of raising £2000 and released the EP at Sailmakers in Ipswich in June 2017. By the end of that year she handed over a cheque for £4500. In January 2018 she travelled up to the NEC Birmingham to the finals of the Open Mic UK Songwriters competition. She was one of 6 finalists from all over the UK from 10000 entries. She didn’t win but received highly commended for her entry Father, a story about grief and being a homeless teenager. Highly influenced by Ed Sheeran and Adele, Roma began writing her debut Album Teen Spirit in January last year. In total in 2018 Roma performed at over 97 events including on the Ed Sheeran Stage at Ipswich Music Day with her band and at the Christmas Light switch on in November, forging her own career as an inspirational and amazing songwriter aged just 13. At the end of 2018 Roma had raised £6660 42
The Felixstowe Magazine - AUTUMN 2019
for three amazing local charities: EACH Children’s Hospice, The Ipswich Winter Night Shelter and 4YP Suffolk mental health for young people project. Her album now sits alongside the Rolling Stones in HMV Ipswich.
This year so far she’s raised an astounding £2300 for 4yp, who have been fundamental in her recovery from bullying. Her fundraising and performances bring cheer and enjoyment to many young and old but alongside it Roma has endured physical and verbal bullying, which saw her change school in year 8. The support received from 4YP has been invaluable and Roma now attends their Girls Group every Monday. With the bullies, determined to knock her down, she responded to look for inspiration closer to home in the shape of Ed Sheeran who was also bullied as a youngster and at least 2 songs on the new album “Why did you hurt me?” and “Stronger” are in defiance of those who tried to break her spirit. Roma said, “I could have just sat there and taken all the grief from the bullies and let them win, and whilst at first I found it self-destroying, and it nearly broke me, I knew I couldn’t let them win.” Roma loves nothing more than raising money and hearing money drop into her donation pot. To her it’s a clear indication that what she is doing, raising awareness about the charities she supports, and her talent are uniting people. In fact, Roma firmly believes that music unites everyone and that’s her mantra #letmusicunite. Roma loves performing and it doesn’t matter if it’s a small event like a school fete or a bigger event like Felixstowe Carnival. She performs either with her

dad’s band, guitarist or as a solo act. It doesn’t matter to Roma where this all takes her. It’s doing something for others and inspiring others to do the same that’s important. For the time being she is happy to donate all the money from sales and performances to local charities. She has a lifetime to perform and earn back something for herself when she is older. Roma is fortunate that she comes from a very creative family, both her parents are musical and Daddy D as he is known, performs in two local cover bands and Mum Rosa was once a singer herself. Both Roma’s parents help Roma with her song writing. “I’ll often come home with a melody in my head, sit down and play it to Dad on the piano and we work out the best arrangement. I then add lyrics to my melody and if I need further inspiration, I will ask mum or my official photographer, Chris Silvester, who is a published poet and lyricist to help me. I started song writing when I was 9. We are lucky to have a home studio to record ideas.”

She’s appeared as a dancer in local professional pantomime with celebrities like Paul Daniels, Maureen Nolan and Tracey Beaker. She performed her west end stage professional debut as Young Princess Fiona in the UK Tour of Shrek in 2015 aged 9 and one day hopes to either be a performer in theatre, a singer songwriter or a record producer.

Pet Problem Corner Keeping your pets safe, sound and cosy As nights are drawing in, pet owners are starting to think about keeping their dogs warmer during the cooler weather and the impact that Bonfire Night has. So here are some useful tips to help your pets: Should I be getting my dog a coat? This really depends on the dog and the breed. Some dogs are fine in cooler weather, particularly those breeds, such as huskies, that were bred for cooler climates and have a thick double coat. Other dogs benefit from a warm layer and there are lots of different coats and jumpers on the market. Watch for tell-tale signs of shivering as the days get cooler. Even if the cold isn’t a problem, a coat can also be useful for keeping your dog dry in the wet. 44

My pet hates loud noises and I am worried about him around Bonfire Night. What can I do to help? It is a sad reality that, with fireworks being so easy to get hold of, pets suffer a great deal around Bonfire Night. Indiscriminate use of fireworks has a lasting effect but there are steps you can take to help. For a nervous dog, you could start your furry friend on a course of Dorwest Herbs Skullcap and Valerian tablets, at least a week before 5th November. This allows the tablets to get to work in their system and by the time Bonfire Night comes along they are quite relaxed. You can also use other remedies such as Valerian Compound (fast acting so also great for sudden, unexpected noises such as thunder and also good for travel sickness). On the day itself a nice long walk during the day for a dog will ensure they are suitably tired. At home make sure that your pet has a safe place to go, close all windows and turn the TV or radio up a little louder to drown out the noise. Try not to change your routine but offer play or new toys to distract. Each pet is unique so some will just want to hide until it is all over.

IN THE
Garden Felixstowe’s gardening twins share their expert knowledge and experience
What a wonderful summer display of hollyhocks, roses, gladioli and poppies. Red hot pokers (kniphofias) in their hues of limes, yellows, oranges and reds have put on a magnificent show. Crocosmias in similar shades have also added to the colourful mix. The tall slender purple flowering annual Verbena bonariensis has relished the hot season and will produce a forest of seedlings for next year if seed heads are left to germinate. The lacecap Hydrangea villosa and the Hortensia mophead group are looking good. There are many interesting varieties of this seaside stalwart. Hydrangea paniculata Limelight has yellow-cream broad conical shaped flowers and makes a great display until the autumn. Hydrangea arborescens Annabelle produces large creamy-white flowers. The Black Steel varieties of Zambia, Zara and Zebra have dramatic black stems which contrast well with the beautiful flower heads. Popularised in recent years by the introduction of the dark leaf Bishop varieties, Dahlias provide long lasting colour until the first frosts and enjoy the hot days of summer. Whether you are a fan of the open centred blooms, cactus, water 46
The Felixstowe Magazine - AUTUMN 2019
lily or pompom shape flowers, there are many beautiful dahlias. Heucheras with their vast array of leaf colour – ranging from green/yellow/gold through to pink/coral to deep purple have delicate flower spikes and are a worthy addition to the garden. Hardy fuchsias add colour when many herbaceous perennials have finished flowering. They perform best in sunny, moist conditions. Their tender cultivars need protection from frost. Zauschneria (Californian fuchsia) and Phygelius (Cape fuchsia) with their narrow trumpet shaped flowers also provide long lasting colour if dead-headed regularly. Agapanthus and Hemerocallis (day lilies) love the sun-baked conditions but do need dividing when forming large clumps. Phormiums (New Zealand flax) with their sword-like shaped leaves can outgrow their space and should also be divided
when this occurs. If the plants have become massive the best option, using a sturdy spade and fork, is to dig out the whole plant, separate the individual plants and then replant the smaller plants. This task can be repeated easily when tackled on a frequent basis. If space is at a premium go for the smaller ‘cookianum’ varieties.
flowering shrubs will benefit from pruning to keep them tidy and this will encourage new growth for next year’s blooms. Likewise, Perovskias, Salvias, Santolina, Nepeta, Lavender and Rosemary will also perform better if trimmed after they have flowered.
Grasses provide interest at this time of year. From the miniatures of the Carex Evergold, Festuca Elijah Blue, Ophiopogon Nigrescens, and Uncinia Rubra to the larger Miscanthus Zebrinus or Pennisetum Hameln, there is a grass for every situation. Caryopteris, the late summer blue flowering shrub with aromatic foliage, is a good plant for the border as are the two Ceratostigmas – Plumbaginoides and Willmottianum – which also have distinct blue flowers at this time of year. Deutzia, Escallonia, Kolkwitzia, Philadelphus, Senecio, Spiraea and other early summer

The Bus Shelter Taking the homeless under their wing, here’s Gareth with his story of how The Bus Shelter was born The Bus Shelter Ipswich CIC is an organisation that came about in November 2016 after an ordinary date night with an ordinary couple. Gareth and his partner Sarah-Jane were out for a date night within Ipswich when they noticed a homeless man, cold and hungry across the road from the restaurant they were about to visit. So Gareth popped out to grab the man a McDonald’s but by the time he was there the gentleman had been moved on. Unable to forget the man and the look of hopelessness they knew they had to do something to help. Together with their two daughters, Cheyanne and Tiffani, the family started driving around Ipswich with blankets, coats, food and drinks to offer a little 50
The Felixstowe Magazine - AUTUMN 2019
respite to the towns homeless. It was then they realised just how extensive of a problem it was, hidden right under everyone’s nose, a problem they knew there was more they could do to help. After some time searching for a solution they discovered the Bus Shelter movement. Originating in the Isle of Wight, Gareth knew with his skills and Sarah’s brains they could set up their own project. A project that would help many people. The Bus Shelter Ipswich concept was born and soon put into motion. With Stephenson’s of Essex donating the first bus, No time was lost in stripping her out and approaching businesses and appealing for public donations to get the conversion underway. Gareth wound up his business and Sarah gave up her career to focus 110% on giving the project all of their drive and attention. In no time at all TIFFERS, named after their daughter Tiffani, was born. Tiffers is a 7 sleeper residential bus. One bed for volunteers, one for assistant manager and 4 - 5 beds for residents. Our residents come from the streets, from probation, adult care services and
on referral. Everyone is considered as an individual. We work a process which involves background checks with any relevant services and organisations, trust building and lots of meet ups to discuss hopes of the individual. If we can meet the individuals needs, and their checks work out then we can offer them a bed on board for as long as required and 24/7 ongoing support. Once on board, support levels are tailored to the individual. Every resident has to agree and sign our code of conduct and agree to undertake any relevant support required... Such as addiction recovery, counselling, debt management, learning life skills and start on building a CV etc. within time. Some of our residents have been recovering alcohol or drug addicts, others have been victims of abuse, others have simply had a run of extremely awful luck. No matter what their past, it’s the steps they take on their journey with us is that proves their character. Every resident that has been with us has been a success story... Some haven’t been able to stay through their own decision, as the confinement of living with others, and
the pull of drugs and alcohol can be too much for some. Others have left due to rule breaking multiple times. Despite our relaxed and alternative approach to support, we do have rules that must be adhered to, and unfortunately breaking rules repeatedly carries consequences. Whereas others, such as our Assistant Bus Manager who came to us in May 2018, have progressed dramatically and given their lives a complete 360 turn around.
‘‘
Every single resident past and present has made us tremendously proud. The Bus Shelter Ipswich also offers an extensive outreach program. We have our fully stocked vans.

Providing solace, comfort and advice to those in need
With sleeping bags, sandra’s knitted rainbow blankets, hot drinks, food and snacks, toiletries, first aiders on board, Naloxone trained staff, clothing and shoes, hand and foot warmers, foil blankets, roll mats and rucksacks. We pride ourselves on being the only outreach service in Suffolk that operates 24/7 and will be with the caller within one hour. We are almost at completion of our second bus conversion, CHEYS. She will be our mobile outreach centre, with a stocked kitchen, a fully fitted and functioning shower and toilet. 6 emergency sleeper beds to be used in SWEP situations. A relaxed seating area for people to come and sit and enjoy something to eat and drink. A private room for more in-depth advice and support. An area for people to use our laptops and WiFi to apply for housing, jobs, build CVs, apply for ID etc. She will operate in a different location for the day such as Felixstowe, Ipswich, Stowmarket, Bury St Edmund. I would say that we have seen roughly 30 different residents come through the bus, with over half of them leaving us and moving into temp/perm accommodation, 10 of which are now in employment of some description.

10 Reasons to Use a Personal Trainer Motivation, discipline, accountability, flexibility... if that isn’t reason enough, here’s some more! Motivation and discipline - if you struggle to keep up a fitness regime when left to your own devices, a good trainer can motivate you to keep training and achieving. Accountability - once you involve someone else in your training, you make yourself more accountable, and accountability is a very strong motivating force. Flexibility - you can train at your convenience, any time, any place and with any specific focus you want. Specificity - a good PT will be able to design an effective training plan which will be specific and tailored to your fitness level and your objectives. Expertise - a specialist trainer will have the expertise to allow you to train for different types of fitness/events e.g. if you are targeting an ultra marathon, then a specialist endurance trainer will know exactly how to train you for such an event.
Taking the guesswork out of training - an experienced trainer will be able to identify and prescribe the most effective training to achieve your objectives. If you are timepressed, then it is important that every session is as effective as possible. Ensure good form - it is easy to pick up injuries if you don’t have good form. A good PT will ensure that your technique is good to minimise the risk of injury and to make sure you reap maximum benefit. Bespoke training to your unique requirements - everyone is different. No two individuals will have exactly the same fitness, ability, opportunity, objectives, motivating factors etc. A good PT will tailor your training to your exact requirements and around your personal circumstances. Progress and measure fitness - a good PT will not only help you set realistic goals, but can measure, record and track fitness. Without realistic goals and a tangible measure of progress, it is very easy to lose motivation. Challenge yourself and tackle the difficult stuff - to progress your fitness requires that you constantly challenge your limits. A good PT will be able to push you further than you can push yourself, and to achieve what you thought was beyond your grasp. AUTUMN 2019 - The Felixstowe Magazine 53

Why We Support Photographers
Photographs tell us what is important to us. When you ask people what possessions they would rescue from their burning house, one of the most frequent answers is the photograph album or a computer with their digital images. This impulse to save our recorded memories is a powerful force which tells us much about the role of photography in our lives and our constant desire to distil our most precious moments into images. We preserve the important events and people in our lives. Photographs are our story, which we can share with others. Photographs are part of our legacy Photographs matter because they freeze moments of our lives which pass unremarkably and which seem to have little importance to us at the time. The significance, however, may be for others who search for the person we once were or the places we once knew. They can be small pieces of a jigsaw that complete the larger picture of our lives. Photography has the power to move us Photography, at its best, is a powerful language which speaks to our emotions. It allows us to tell our story and show others our framing of the world around us. Photography makes us artists Photography allows us to express ourselves through an art form. We notice a beautiful landscape or an old man’s lined face and we want to capture it. Each of us will have a different reason to do so but, essentially, we want to create something. However humdrum our nine-to-five lives may be, the creation of an image makes us an artist. It feels good. And this is why photography is so important to us, and why The Felixstowe Magazine supports local photographers! Written by Declan O’Neill. Photo credits: 1.

HEALTH TIP
The Big Bloat Let’s face it, bloating and gas really isn’t fun, so what’s causing you to bloat and what can you do about it? Keeping in mind that there might be other triggers for your bloat (and do check with your GP if it persists), here are some practical guidelines to help you achieve a flatter, healthier belly. Slow digestion/constipation/gas? • Sip plenty of water daily, slowly, but away from food. • Daily fiber: in raw leafy vegetables & fruit, wholegrain, pulses. • Lubricate with good fats: avocado, coconut, ghee, quality butter, unheated oils. • Increase magnesium-rich foods: leafy greens, pulses, nuts, seeds, wholegrain, seaweeds, sea-salt. 58
The Felixstowe Magazine - AUTUMN 2019
Bacterial imbalance/candida? • Eat probiotic foods: lacto-fermented vegetables (with caution if yeast is a problem), full-fat organic live yogurt, miso, kombucha etc. • Avoid sugar, alcohol: unfriendly to good bacteria. Bloat after certain foods? • Eliminate gluten, dairy and/or sugar strictly for 6-8 weeks, then re-introduce gradually and monitor how each food feels. • Avoid ‘gums’, pectins, starches added to gluten-free foods. For bloat sufferers these tips might make ALL the difference: • Eat mindfully: slow down your meals to last 20 minutes and chew 30 times. • Keep a food diary. • Belly breathe: practice deep belly breathing before and while you eat to hugely enhance your digestive ability and provide oxygen to the vital bacteria.

MYSTERY SHOPPER
Vintage and Charity Shops Reviewing everything local, here’s our elusive Mystery Shopper This may seem as an odd one to go for as I’ve never reviewed charity shops for you before, but given some recent experiences I had to choose these amazing and popular charity shops, for this season’s review. I’ve travelled a lot in the UK and on my travels, charity shops absolutely take part in my shopping experience. With a radar for getting what I need when I need it, a nose for great quality and, well... let’s face it, my desire to simply get a good bargain, charity shops have hands-down, given me some of the best shopping experiences I’ve ever had - and to be frank, with the amount of organisation and creativity that goes into them in some places (like Brighton’s Snoopers Paradise - quite literally, a little piece of paradise), or Felixstowe’s version of such a haven, at the top of Bent Hill, you really can’t go wrong! When it comes to classy bric-a-brac, the lovely corner shop at the top of Bent Hill does it all! From vintage silver spoons, to ornate Art Nouveau furniture, there is a glorious treat for all tastes. When walking along Hamilton Road I always make a visit to this particular shop... why? I ALWAYS find something I just have to have! For example, I recently found a beautiful silver serving tray - very unique with ornate handles. I once found a tiny grooming kit complete with a small comb made of horn, nail clippers, scissors and a wee mirror - all packaged in a gorgeous silver and leather purse-size case.
Tea and Antiques on High Road East is another personal favourite. Now there is where I found my stunningly soft, tan, leather wallet (perfect to pop in my back pocket)! Tea and Antiques not only sells great antiques at reasonable prices, vintage collectables and pre-loved furniture, just like the corner shop at the top of Bent Hill, it hosts a little tea room serving hot meals, snacks, home-made cake and clotted cream teas and coffees. If you want my opinion, you can’t get much better than that when it comes to a true vintage shopping experience. One of the must-see charity shops is Basic in Walton and also on Hamilton Road, and another fantastic one is the Red Cross! There’s a real sense of community with charity shops, especially when you make a habit of donating your pre-loved items on occasion. Even the clothing is ensured to still be in good nick and I’m not shy to tell you that I bought MANY clothes and accessories from charity shops - from Gucci shoes for £20 to a genuine leather jacket for just £10! Some honourable mentions are Cancer Research and Sense opposite Great Eastern Square. Sense was home to a fantastic, sturdy dining table for £40 while Cancer Research never fails for some great scarves! Oh, and I shouldn’t forget Age UK on Orwell Road - bookworms... that shop will never let you down! What satisfaction it is to not only discover great little gems but to also know your money is going to a good cause! So there you have it. I’m delighted to write this season’s feature in honour of our local charity and vintage shops - home to MANY fantastic little finds. On your next trip to town, make sure they’re on your agenda too!

ActiveAte Food charity providing 10,000 meals to children over summer to combat holiday hunger in East Anglia An Ipswich food charity will provide an estimated 10,000 meals to children across Suffolk, Norfolk and Essex by the end of the school summer holiday. FareShare East Anglia, a regional branch of the UK’s biggest surplus food redistribution charity, is providing healthy and nutritious surplus food to 10 holiday projects this summer and estimates that at least 330 children in the region will access meals at these projects. The food provision comes as part of FareShare’s ActiveAte campaign, which aims to raise awareness of children at risk of hunger when schools break 64
The Felixstowe Magazine - AUTUMN 2019
up and the safety net of free school meals is removed. Holiday projects receiving food also provide activities such as sport, drama and cooking lessons to ensure children are kept well fed and active – so that they return to school in September healthy and ready to learn. With an estimated three million children at risk of going hungry over the school holidays1, the ActiveAte campaign was launched to appeal to the public for donations during this time of additional activity. For as little as £7, donors can enable FareShare to provide 28 nutritious meals for children at a holiday project. Michael Barrett, Development Manager at FareShare East Anglia, said, “For parents of children who normally receive free school meals, the summer can be a really difficult time - with the strain of added food costs, activities and childcare leaving many families struggling to provide food. “ActiveAte is our campaign to address this issue across the East of England,
and this year’s figures in comparison to last year demonstrate the glaring need for enhanced food provision in our communities over the summer.
‘‘
For as little as £7, donors can enable FareShare to provide 28 nutritious meals for children at a holiday project.
“With the support of our food partners, we’re grateful we’re able to support more frontline holiday projects than before, but in order to ensure no child goes hungry, we are appealing to the public for donations. Just £7 can have a real, tangible impact - providing 28 meals for children at a holiday project.” Holiday clubs such as Fit and Fed in Ipswich receive deliveries of nutritious food such as fruit, veg, sandwiches and juice from FareShare East Anglia. Claudia Parrino, who manages the club, said, “Fit and Fed is one of several holiday clubs running this summer in Suffolk that has been funded through the Department for Education’s Holiday Activities and Food Fund to enable children in receipt of free school meals to access holiday clubs. “Fit and Fed welcomes children and young people to have a half-day of fun filled activities such as sports, games and arts and then enjoy a healthy and nutritious lunch. We have been running Fit and Fed in Suffolk for a year now and since the beginning Fare Share has been our food charity of choice. Fare Share is not only affordable,
enabling us to reach more children and young people but their selection of food is excellent, making our lunches fun, exciting and delicious.” Did you know... FareShare East Anglia saves 223 tonnes of good surplus food from right across the food supply chain and redistribute it to 71 charities and community groups throughout the region. These charities provide meals as part of their services to people in need – such as children’s breakfast clubs, day clubs for older people, domestic violence refuges, homeless shelters and drug and alcohol rehab units. In 2018/19 we provided enough food for over half a million meals (worth over £500,000 to the charity sector in savings), which helped to feed 7,597 people every week. How your donations could help: • £7 could enable FareShare to provide 28 meals for children at a holiday project. • £20 could enable FareShare to provide 80 meals for children at a holiday project.
‘‘
£120 could enable FareShare to provide a lunch for ten children on every day of the summer holidays.
• £60 could enable FareShare to feed a group of 24 children breakfast every weekday morning for two weeks. To find out more and donate to FareShare’s ActiveAte campaign, visit: www.fareshare.org.uk. AUTUMN 2019 - The Felixstowe Magazine 65

STACKS OF LOCAL OFFERS SO YOU CAN
Support Local Businesses
Is there more to these vouchers than just getting a good deal? With a larger than usual number of local shops closing their doors, it’s a very real threat that independent businesses cannot survive in this economic climate. So how can we help them? We all know that shopping local is the way to keep these businesses afloat, but what if you’re nervous to try a particular shop, or what if they’re a little pricier than you’d hope for, or what if you’ve never used a service/product like theirs before?
This is precisely why we started the voucher scheme - to raise awareness about businesses you might not have heard of, to encourage you to use them, and to give you an incentivising discount so you get something back too. Our voucher campaign was born out of the need to support local businesses. With them, you can literally save hundreds of pounds.

11.30am-1pm This group was created to ensure we tackle the issues of litter across the town to ensure that no plastic waste ends up in the sea. It is a local response to the global crisis in our oceans - we want to protect wildlife and the entire Eco-system. We want to act as a community and inspire everyone including residents, visitors, businesses, shipping lines and hauliers to take action. We will be organising litter-picks to include beaches, parks, woodland & hedgerows and grass verges. Let’s make Felixstowe the UK’s first Litter-Free town - let’s do this together. Various locals.

FACTS September is the only month with the same number of letters in its name as the number of the month: it is the ninth month and has nine letters. The Romans believed that the month of September was looked after by the god of the fire and forge – Vulcan. Therefore, they expected fires, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions in this month. Penicillin was discovered by Scottish scientist Sir Alexander Fleming on September 30th 1928, but it was not mass-produced until the 1940s. September 1947 - the first case of a computer bug being found... a moth lodged in a relay of a Harvard Mark II computer at Harvard University. That David’s eyes are flawed went unnoticed for centuries, perhaps due to the statue’s extreme height. However, the 20th-century Digital Michelangelo Project at Stanford University rendered complete images of the statue which revealed that David’s left eye gazes forward while the right eye is focused on some distant spot. Anglo-Saxons called this month “Winterfylleth” (“fullness of winter”). JRR Tolkien’s hobbits turned this into “Winterfilth”. The magician and escapologist Harry Houdini died on Hallowe’en in 1926. The name “bonfire” derives from the term “bone fire”; in the Middle Ages, these types of fires were usually set up in order to burn bones.
QUIZ QUESTIONS 1. What is both a French wine region and a luxury American automobile? 2. Who have been previously named ‘The Detours’ and ‘The High Numbers’? 3. Legend has it that the body of Alexander the Great was preserved in which liquid? 4. The name of which playful mammal stems from the Greek word for womb? 5. The following words in different languages all mean what? Gehve, Qahwa, Sourj, Koohii, Kape... 6. Which city is the city of dreaming spires? 7. In which sport would you see a Fosbury flop? 8. What is the capital of Canada? 9. Which anti-social television character does not like pickles? 10. What was the name of Sonny Crockett’s pet alligator in the cult TV series Miami Vice?
