ASHWELL COURT
It does not seem possible that the summer is almost over We seem only to
have had a few really nice summer days and now we are already back to
dark evenings and have had several extremely wet, cold days.
However our normal activities have continued. We have enjoyed our fish and
chip lunches on the first Saturday of the month Thanks to Joyce for
organizing these and to Lena and Jackie for collecting our delicious fish and
chips and to those who lay the tables and put out the lovely bread and butter.
We take it in turn to provide the sweet and it is a very enjoyable get-together
at the weekend..
We enjoyed an evening of Hoy, again with fish and chips or a Chinese meal.
Thanks again Jackie and Lena for collecting the food.
We also had a very successful fete and bar-b-que in our
gardens on what was probably the hottest day this year.
Everyone worked very hard to make this day the great success it was.
Some of us who sing in the Community Choir sang in the Ruin on the
National Heritage Open Day. We were Singing in the Ruin NOT Singing in
the Rain on that day. It was a lovely day organised by National Heritage
and how lucky we are to have such an historic ruin in Bowthorpe. When
floodlit in the evening it is very atmospheric and a lovely place for an evening
performance.
Some of us from Ashwell Court visited York Race Course for a Conference
organized by Places for People.
It was a most interesting Conference but we didnt see any horse races!
We welcome our new Welfare Officer, Rachel, and hope she will be very
happy with us. Well try not to cause her too many problems!
Best wishes to you all from all at
Ashwell Court.

Autumn can
carry me back
years to a Sunday afternoon
spent chestnutting in St.
Faiths wood with my
Uncle Ernie. Spiny fruits
like green sea urchins prick
my hands as I try to prise
them apart. Stamping on
them doesnt split them but
simply drives them deep into
the leaf mould. Thwacking
them with a stick against a
mossy log sends them hurtling off and most likely only
breaks the stick. Occasionally they have broken apart as
they fell, spilling the glossy
rich brown nuts on the
ground.
I remember hessian sacks
full of large, perfectly sound
nuts just like I remember how
the waves at the seasides of
my childhood were huge,
how the snowflakes of winter
fell massively onto deep untroubled snow and how summer afternoons lasted forever under glorious sunshine in
deep blue skies.
The next day at school the teacher looks quizzically at my hands and I notice for the
first time how stained brown they are. He doesnt ask and I dont explain. The nuts
are roasted on a battered piece of tin over the glowing coal fire that heats only the
area immediately surrounding the small hearth.
And that thought carries me to an Istanbul Autumn, the street vendors crying kebab,
kebab, meaning roast chestnuts not doner. The smell of chestnuts roasting on a
brazier on a dull, damp Istanbul street is as good as the taste and that is very good.
They are even good grilled in a modern oven, especially if you have collected them
yourself. And there are lots locally: in the East Hills wood running
down from what used to be Costessey High School to Longwater
Lane, in Twenty Acre wood by Earlham Green Lane and one splendid tree at the south end of Bunkers Hill Wood. But there are more
squirrels now than half a century ago and youll need to be quick to
get the nuts before they do.
