Sunday 5th August 2018
12 noon til 2.00pm
Hexham Middle School Community Garden

To access the garden, walk up Broadgates, or through the main entrance to the school – via Maiden’s Walk.

There will almost certainly be potatoes to dig, gooseberries to pick and possibly some redcurrants too – so you might wish to bring along some gardening gloves. We have plenty of tools in the shed.

There will be some gardening chores too – we have our “It’s Your Neighbourhood” visit from Northumbria in Bloom next Thursday, 9th August, so it might be good to do some edging work and generally tidy up. Elizabeth may bring a list of things that need to be done.

So – hoping for some sun on Sunday, though the rain this week has been very welcome.

Best wishes,
Wendy

You’re invited to join our wassail on Saturday 7 January

Event starts from 12 noon

We invite you to join an event which continues an ancient tradition while planting a legacy for the future.

The physic garden is open from 12 noon – 2pm. Please feel free to bring snacks and sandwiches; there are plenty of benches to sit on, or lawns to lie on if you bring a rug.
From 1pm – 2pm, join in song and ceremony to toast our orchard trees.

Wassail is an Old English word meaning ‘be healthy’ or ‘be whole’ – ‘hale and hearty’. Wassailing the trees in the orchard wakes them from their winter sleep and brings a bountiful crop of fruit in season. This ancient tradition recognizes the importance of our relationship to nature.

Local druids will toast a chosen fruit tree with an offering of cider poured over its roots. This is followed by a sharing of the wassail bowl, and the singing of carols, led by members of the local community choir. We encourage the making of much noise by all present! A family event, come in costume if you wish – but remember your weather proof footwear!
Transition Tynedale provide the cider from recent apple pressing days.

From 2-3pm, you can join in a weather dependent walk through Dukeshouse Woods to Hexham Middle School, where tree planting takes place from 3:15pm. Sound therapist Johanna Sheehan will be leading a reflection on our connection to the earth during this final part of the event.
Transition Tynedale’s blog can be accessed here

This event is open to all and unticketed. Donations to the physic garden, an independent, local charity, will be much appreciated.

Participation in all activities is at the individual’s own risk.

Electric Bikes have now arrived in Hexham! Green Energy Cycles, a sub division of The Centre for Green Energy, has recently opened in July offering alternative transport systems to the Tyne Valley. An electric bike is similar to a push bike yet has an electric motor and battery attached which helps push you along (for up to 200km on one charge). These bikes allow steep hills to be tackled with ease, trailers to be pulled and headwinds to be tackled, with a range of bikes from city cruisers to mountain monsters. Even those who currently love their pushbike may be suited to them; one can take various perspectives when assessing them. Some would say ‘that’s for lazy riders’ others understand that instead of X effort getting you 5 miles of travel, X effort with an e-bike could get you 35 miles, for example. Green Energy Cycles stock Go Cycle, KTM and Raleigh bikes so far and are offering free test rides and hires to the public. If you are interested, please pop along to the showroom on Anick Road – and you will be able to have a go. They really are great fun!
