One of the best things about this ‘perfect’ summer we seem to be having is being able to plan things. Inviting friends over and sitting in the garden until late in the evening is something I don’t remember being able to do for a long time-that is unless I was wrapped in a very warm blanket! The dogs seem to get exhausted a lot quicker though so plenty of dips in the lake have been essential. Living in Frampton-on-Severn and being surround-ed by water (the river, canal and beautiful lakes) is ideal and no we don’t suffer from flooding the rest of the year!

Our People profile this month features a very ‘Frampton’ person-Joan Greenway from Highfield Garden World. I am sure you will enjoy reading about her life and work on pages 22/23. It’s also National Allotments Week and if you have an allotment what a great place to be but don’t forget the deck chair and glass of wine! Catherine

Broken or Damaged Windows?Faulty Hinges, Handles or Locks?

Want The Latest Energy Saving Glass?All Glazing Backed By Our

5 Year Manufacturers Guarantee

...we make saving money perfectly clear...

STEAMED UP DOUBLE GLAZING?Don’t replace the Frames... just the Panes!

Cloudy2Clear Windows – Service With A Smile!It’s been a crazy few months for Cloudy2Clear Windows. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has grown rapidly as homeowners take advantage of their services. Managing Director Paul Spiller feels that it’s all about service. ‘Our product is simple. If your double glazing is misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 5 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving people money, although

that obviously helps. Many tradespeople have struggled since last year and I honestly feel that during the good times a minority perhaps didn’t focus on customer care as much as they should have done. We make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle. I often get comments back from customers on how they really didn’t expect that sort of service which, in a way, is very sad for the service industry as a whole.’ Cloudy2Clear service Stroud and the surrounding valleys and

Paul is finding that his approach is a major factor in his success. ‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family

of people I’ve done work for, which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated.’ So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Paul a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

On the next page you will find a 2005 poem inspired by the view from Swifts Hill towards Stroud, which will disappear if the devel-opers get their way. Let us hope the Planning Inspector appreci-ates that the view from the hill and valley are as important as the AONB itself. There are other sites that could be used for “sustainable development” without destroying this lovely unique place. Richard Maisey

Save Swifts Hill Travel down from Stancombe ‘tween

Tangled brambled banks speckled through with meadow cranesbill blue

Tumble down the rolling strolling lane Neath Catswood pitchy shade and Tranters Hill

To reach a creamy limestone glade cut into the hill

Stoop now beneath the crab apple tree bow And set foot upon the slope ringing with hare bells

And blue and purple noted scabious and knap weed A tuneful delight sung by fleeting hedge and meadow browns

And the dashing marbled white A whispy golden hillside hairy with grasses steeped In summers sunshine and spotted here and there

By crimson red burnetts

Oh sit with me so high on Swifts Hill in July With my yellow ladies bedstraw kidney vetch and butterfly Above the boozy banter from the Woolpacks wooden seat

The car engines drone and the sheep’s bleat Where my spirits rise and fly far above the wooded valley Up into the blue cloud cushioned sky to cry aloud and say

How glad I am to be alive this summers day

But while upon this rocky prominence I stand and gaze Towards the broad mouthed Severn dying in the distant haze

My eye is drawn into the storm of gathering Stroud Who with threads and stitches needles her unlovely way

Along the valley seams and ditches even to the wide green meadowed sea the guardian of this sanctuary

Oh may heavens light never shine upon the day When human nature has it’s way And urban sprawl has blotted out

This fragile splendour spread about!

A Peek into the Past On August 24th 1875 Captain Matthew Webb became the first person to swim the English Channel without the use of artificial aids.

Webb was one of twelve children, born in Shropshire to a local doctor.

During his time in the merchant navy he attempted to rescue a man who had fallen overboard. Webb dived into the sea in the mid-Atlantic Ocean. Unfortunately the man was never found but Webb’s daring won him a medal, £100 and the adulation of the British press.

In 1873 Webb read a record of the failed attempt to swim the Channel by J. B. Johnson. Inspired Webb left his job and

began training: first at Lambeth baths, then in the Thames and finally in the Channel itself.

On 12th August 1875 he made his first attempt, but strong winds meant conditions were against him and he abandoned the swim.

On 24th August he started out again from Admiralty Pier at Dover, backed by three chase boats and smeared in porpoise oil.

During the crossing he suffered jellyfish stings and also strong currents which delayed him by five hours. Finally, after 21 hours and 45 minutes he landed near Calais

Much of our lives is governed by the need for balance between conflicting ideas. Nowadays communism is un-popular and regarded as a flawed ide-al. Communism is the philosophy that the function of the individual is to serve the state or society.

Capitalism on the other hand suggests the destiny of the individu-al is of paramount importance, even at the expense of the com-munity or society. A society that works must have an element of both these ideals. It seems to have finally dawned on us that allowing individuals unrestricted speculation with our money sup-ply does not work for society. There must be sensible bounda-ries governing how and where our money is invested. Marriage only works well where each party recognises the needs of the other and each party is allowed to grow spiritually. Marriage is not an achievement in itself, it has to be worked at throughout it’s duration. Some partners are more outgoing than others and this needs to be recognised. Genuine love not only respects individuality but seeks to promote it. The environment of the Earth requires a balance to be achieved in order to stay in equilibrium. In this instance the human race as a result of it’s ability to reason has become the controlling factor in the environment and has tipped the balance too much in it’s favour. Our individual needs have been promoted at great ex-pense to the environment. It is time for the balance to tip the oth-er way and this will cause us as a race to have to make difficult decisions and accept hard times. Hopefully, our intelligence will allow us to recognise this and our creativity and imagination will enable us to find a sensible way forward for the future of all life on this planet. Richard Maisey

Where were you born and brought up?

I was born at Denfurlong Farm, Framp-ton-on-Severn and had a happy childhood

being brought up on the farm and I loved being surrounded by animals. It was idyllic.

What was your first job? My first job was working as a secretary at Shire Hall and my father bet me £10 I wouldn’t stick at it. I won the bet! The job lasted for seven years! I would leave on the bus from Frampton at 7.50 each morning and come back at 6.00pm I was offered promotion but by that time I had married Bob Greenway and I chose to look after my family instead. Bob and I met when we were teenagers and we went out to-gether until he went on national service and when he returned we got married in the parish church of Frampton. It was the middle of June and it poured with rain! Bob worked as a design engineer in Gloucester and we moved into a rented flat and started saving for our own home.

Bob’s sister lived in Coombe Cottage in Frampton and had a plot of land next to the cottage which was a wilderness of apple trees and briars. She sold it to us for £325 plus solicitors costs of £20 in 1961. Bob and I set about clearing the land and we got Joe Greenway (no relation), a builder from Arlingham to build us a house. Joe had very strict rules about how brick laying should be done only 3-4 layers at a time and it took a long time to build! It has been my lovely home ever since, overlooking the lake, the canal and the Severn for 51 years.

As my children grew up, in 1972 I got a job with Rank Zerox in Micheldene. The company was to be given the Duke of Edinburgh Award for Industry and were organising a ceremony for the Queen and Duke’s visit. The Unions decided to strike for more money but in re-sponse the company cancelled all the arrangements for the Queen’s visit and it was my job to give away all the food they had organised to local hospitals and charities. I then accepted a job in personnel as it was well paid. The personnel manager’s secretary gave in her notice and the manager offered me the job. I made the mistake (being young and naive) of men-tioning this to the other secretaries who got up in arms. I could not deal with the upset and so gave in my notice and left.

What happened after that?

A few years later, a friend of mine who worked at Attwoolls and also helped at Highfield Nurseries came for coffee. She told me there was a part-time secretarial job there from 9.30-3.30. I went for an interview and got the job. I found that I had a natural aptitude for re-membering the Latin names of plants and I loved the job. I also took work home and in-volved the family, sitting around the kitchen table for many hours into the night writing plant labels.

What was your first job? My first job was working as a secretary at Shire Hall and my father bet me £10 I wouldn’t stick at it. I won the bet! The job lasted for seven years! I would leave on the bus from Frampton at 7.50 each morning and come back at 6.00pm I was offered promotion but by that time I had married Bob Greenway and I chose to look after my family instead. Bob and I met when we were teenagers and we went out to-gether until he went on national service and when he returned we got married in the parish church of Frampton. It was the middle of June and it poured with rain! Bob worked as a design engineer in Gloucester and we moved into a rented flat and started saving for our own home.

Bob’s sister lived in Coombe Cottage in Frampton and had a plot of land next to the cottage which was a wilderness of apple trees and briars. She sold it to us for £325 plus solicitors costs of £20 in 1961. Bob and I set about clearing the land and we got Joe Greenway (no relation), a builder from Arlingham to build us a house. Joe had very strict rules about how brick laying should be done only 3-4 layers at a time and it took a long time to build! It has been my lovely home ever since, overlooking the lake, the canal and the Severn for 51 years.

As my children grew up, in 1972 I got a job with Rank Zerox in Micheldene. The company was to be given the Duke of Edinburgh Award for Industry and were organising a ceremony for the Queen and Duke’s visit. The Unions decided to strike for more money but in re-sponse the company cancelled all the arrangements for the Queen’s visit and it was my job to give away all the food they had organised to local hospitals and charities. I then accepted a job in personnel as it was well paid. The personnel manager’s secretary gave in her notice and the manager offered me the job. I made the mistake (being young and naive) of men-tioning this to the other secretaries who got up in arms. I could not deal with the upset and so gave in my notice and left.

What happened after that?

A few years later, a friend of mine who worked at Attwoolls and also helped at Highfield Nurseries came for coffee. She told me there was a part-time secretarial job there from 9.30-3.30. I went for an interview and got the job. I found that I had a natural aptitude for re-membering the Latin names of plants and I loved the job. I also took work home and in-volved the family, sitting around the kitchen table for many hours into the night writing plant labels.

People Profile

Joan Greenway

Highfield Garden World

After four years in the job I was made a director of the company. My son Tim was also involved in working there having started as a Saturday ‘lad’ weeding plants

Western Forestry Co Ltd was originally based in Haverfordwest in Wales where they grew willow trees and stripped them for basket weaving. The company had to transport their goods to Gloucester by rail from where it was sent all over the country so they decided to move to Gloucester with all their staff. In 1935 the company was run by Edward Bazeley and then by Bonham Bazeley, who was Captain of a motor torpedo boat in the war. At Highfield Nurseries in Whitminster they started growing 30,000 roses and grafting fruit trees and ornamental trees and these were sold through a catalogue which was sent out once a year.

In 1979 I persuaded Bonham to enter the Chelsea Flower Show. We had a plant water-ing system for trickle irrigation in greenhouses and this took off very well but we did not have the money to patent the system so Bonham sold it to a company who had the finances to do so. In 1980 we created a fruit garden at Chelsea and won a Silver gilt award. The following year we won a Gold award for a herb and fruit garden on the embankment. Our redcurrants had not ripened so they were still green. Prince Philip on his inspection tour remarked to Bonham “I thought redcurrants were supposed to be red not green!”

In 1983, with the collaboration of Rosemary Verey of Barnsley House, we designed a fruit tree and herb garden. The Queen asked “Are all your herbs edible?” Bonham assured her that they were to which she replied “I thought Woad (one of our herbs) was a dye?” She was right of course! In 1987 we also won a gold award for our Cotswold garden which was a runner up for Best in Show. I was delighted that Prince Philip’s only comment on this occasion was “A bit twee isn’t it!”

In 1987 Bonham retired and sold out the nursery to Trevor Wellington and myself. In 1982 I had persuaded Bonham to buy some fields next to the A38 and it was my hope and vision that we could get planning permission for a garden centre there. At this time we had a café at the nursery and a small garden shop and I noted how people liked to choose their own plants. In 1989 we applied for planning, suggesting access should be off Whitminster Lane. The Councils representative, Mr Clutterbuck said the only way the access would work was if we came straight off the A38. I couldn’t believe my ears! We were given planning permission with access on the A38 if we altered the central reservation and moved a fibre optic cable, this we did at a cost of £75,000!

In 1992 our garden centre was opened by Geoff Hamilton of ‘Gardner’s World’. The following four years however were a slump and we struggled to survive, with little money and empty shelves. Initially we employed a couple of managers, but they proved to be not suitable for us so Tim and I decided to run the centre ourselves. The mail order business is no longer viable and stopped two years ago. The centre is now working wonderfully and I work from Monday-Thursdays and still go on buying visits to shows in Harrogate and Holland to source new lines for the business. We work well as a family business with my daughter and granddaughter also involved and we are delighted to have received two local business awards.. Do come and visit us!

Garden View 5th - 11th August is National Allotments Week

During World War II and immediately afterwards, almost everyone with a garden grew fruit and vegetables. Food was rationed so people supplemented their diet with produce they’d grown in their own back garden, or down on their allotment. To me the very word ‘allotment’ evokes memories of my granddad and post-war community spirit. During the 1960’s allotments began to go out of fashion and continued to decline in popularity until very recently. As a society we were more affluent; more likely to buy what vegetables we needed from the local supermarket, and vegetable gardening just wasn’t considered sexy! There’s an old saying: what goes around comes around, and it encapsulates perfectly the fate of allotments which are

currently enjoying a popularity surge. Suddenly we’re concerned about food in a big way. There are too many nasty additives and pesticides on shop-bought fruit and veg, while the cost of organic food puts it out of the reach of the masses. And what about all those thousands of food-miles our strawberries and courgettes clock up on their journey to the supermarket shelves? Surely that’s damaging the environment. Then there’s the thorny problem of childhood obesity. The list of food-related concerns seems to be growing exponentially. In the absence of clear leadership from the top, many of us are taking matters into our own hands and deciding to emulate our grandparents and grow our own food. Yet affordable housing means tiny back gardens and often no front garden so where are we going to grow all this lovely produce? The answer of course is to acquire an allotment and 250,000 people so far have done just that. To join them simply approach your council. Price and availability varies around the country. If the plot is too large for your personal needs you may be able to rent half or find a like-minded friend to share it with. Enquire today and you and your family could soon, quite literally, be reaping the benefits, some of which are listed below.

Allotment Benefits

Diet You can harvest fresh, organic, fruit and veg Economic You’ll save loads of money growing your own Environmental Recycling organic waste into compost, reducing food miles and creating a wildlife-friendly habitat Health Great for aerobic exercise and therapeutic calm Social It’s a brilliant way to meet friendly, like-minded people of all ages.

WHY BOTHER?Nick Warner, of internet specialists Computancy in Bisley, says: “more and more of our clients are realising that they need to have a website that is responsive so it will be visible on all devices. All of our new website designs are built to be viewed correctly across different devices, browsers and platforms.

As internet technology moves on so quickly, we are now re-designing sites that were previously built as static sites only a year or so ago. Because of this we introduced a new monthly PAYG design & hosting package option that is proving very popular with smaller businesses. With these packages you know that your site is always up to date and will be re-designed every 24 months and all at a fixed, low monthy cost”

More often than not, the things we enjoy aren’t necessari-ly very good for us. Most of us are guilty of snacking on chocolate or having a glass of wine after work, and while these improve our mood, they’re not ideal for our bodies if used in excess. With current statistics showing increases in ill-health, and a society where it’s difficult to find free time around work or family duties, why not consider making some time to play sport or exercise with friends?

NHS statistics have shown that regular moderately-intense exercise – any exercise which causes the heart rate to rise – can reduce the risks of coronary heart disease and stroke by up to 35%, and reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes by up to 50%. Evidence has also shown that regular exercise can reduce the risk of breast and colon cancers. On top of these ob-vious physical advantages, kicking a ball around the park or jogging with a friend can also do wonders for your mental wellbeing. Exercise releases endorphins, which are nat-urally produces in your body and give the sense of being “high on life”; completely con-tent and de-stressed. Regular exercise has been shown to reduce the risk of depression by up to 30% too – and with no entrance fees or hidden costs for going for a jog around the town, what’s not to like?

Even if you don’t fancy working up a sweat, even a walk in the countryside could do wonders to help you relax. Even if you live in the heart of a busy city, there are often easily reachable sights of natural beauty to accompany the fresh air and peaceful quiet-ness of a country walk. We’re surrounded by modern technology, and bombarded by information almost all of our waking lives, so it’s often easy to forget the therapeutic qualities of getting back in touch with nature.

Perhaps you aren’t keen on running around the park or walking through the countryside? Well, fortunately you can still relax and treat yourself from the comfort of your own home. Even setting aside five minutes to take some deep breaths can improve mood and calmness. Take a deep breath in, hold for ten seconds, and exhale. Repeating this several times regulates the carbon dioxide and oxygen levels in your blood, and brings

a sense of well-being. If you feel like taking this a step further, then a wide range of meditative techniques are available at your local library or through a quick Google search. Why not find out what works for you?

While you’re at home, you could also set aside some time for a long, hot bath. Throw in some candles and soothing music, and an hour later you’ll be relaxed and content. You could even make a day of it, and visit a local spa with your other half or another family member. Most spas offer a range of treatments, from a basic pedicure to a full body mas-sage, all of which are designed to relax and repair you both mentally and physically. So, why not go out and do something today!?

aurie Lee said “I wanted to communicate what I had seen, so that others could see it”, and as you look around the Stroud valleys you can see why you would want to help

others understand the wonders of the area.

Whatever the season, our piece of this England is special . . . so special that to many it becomes ambition’s graveyard . . . How many have decided not to take that better job in Hull, Manchester or Luton (great though those places are) because our children go to our local primary school or it dawns on us that the quality of our lives would be less good somewhere else?

My company specialises in renting property (we are not estate agents) and I have to say that people are wanting to live in our area in ever increasing numbers. We now keep a register of people who desire to be a part of our community; people who want to have a part of what we see every day . . . and probably take for granted.
