EARLIER this year, Heswall ound Tablewere approached by the PTA of Fox eld

chool in Moreton for assistance with aproject.Their task was to lay wheelchair

accessible paths around a horticulturalarea to enable pupil access to raisedbeds. Their work involved improving the

path from the garden to the adventureplayground to enable wheelchair usersto move more independently to and fromthe play area. They also needed to cover a rather unsightly wall in the adventureplayground.This was ust the sort of pro ect thateswall ound Table en oy. fter a lot o

back-breaking digging, and barrowing of concrete, paths were laid, that have greatly

improved not only wheel chair access,but also the overall appearance of theorticulture zone.or the wall covering in the adventure

play ground, a screen was decorated withpupils designs, showing other children howto use the equipment.Ged, from Cheshire Developments, not

only oined in, but oversaw and directedthe work while Huws Gray BuildingMaterials were extremely helpful with thematerials nee e .The headmaster, n re Bair sent a

long thank you message to the lads. Hesaid: On behalf of the pupils and staff at

LATE AUTUMN DELIGHTS ARDENI BY JANET HEA

VEMBE apprec ate t e smaower ng or o age nterest n yourgarden and it is worthwhile taking a

wa roun t e gar en to see t osep ants t at g ve us a t n ar ays.Flowers are in short supply so if you are

lucky and have the right conditions forgrowing Nerines, then you may have someof their exotic pink owers still around. They like a well drained soil in sun such as at the

base of a wall to keep the frost from rottingthe bulbs.I nd that perennials such as Pulmonaria

have lovely leaves in autumn. They put outnew growth when the soil becomes wetterafter summer. They look lovely paired withHeuchera with deep red foliage to offset thesilver blotched leaves of the Pulmonaria..Ferns also provide green in darker places

so consider the Asplenium or Harts Tongueferns with glossy green leaves or Polystichumsetiferum, the soft shield fern that will give afan of cool green colour.Berries on Sorbus, the Mountain Ash may

still be around although the red berries seemto be eaten by birds rst but orange, yellow and cream berries are left well into winter.

Rose hips like little pot bellied pots on Rosarugosa varieties are bright red, bringing asplash of colour.Jobs to do around the garden includenishing planting tulip bulbs which can go

in later than daffodils. Also gather up leavesfrom the lawn and those smothering smallerplants. Stack them in a separate compost binor put in a bin liner to rot down. Keep theleaves moist to encourage rotting and after acouple of years you will have superb compost.Ponds should be netted if they are near

trees to stop leaves falling into the waterand rotting. Remove any dead foliage from waterside plants and water lilies.

I cut down any dying foliage that will not look

good when frosted but I tend to leave plantslike Sedums in place because their owerheads look lovely dusted with frost. Slightly tender plants can have foliage left in place toact as a mulch and protect them from coldtemperatures.Dig up dahlia tubers, remove the foliage

and store in a frost free and mouse free placeover winter to dry out. They can be planted inspr ng to grow aga n next year.

BOOK REVIEWS:

BOOKS FOR NOVEMBERBY ELEANOR DAVIES, FROM LINGHAMS BOOKSTORE, HESWALL

BIOGRAP :Last Man Standing: Jack Straw

ack Straws politics wereformed early in his childhoodand from the time he wentto university he becamepassionately involved, aspresident of the National

nion of Students, and later on as political advisor to

Barbara Castle, eventuallyserving as Home Secretaryand Foreign Secretary.

s memo rs are a un que ns g t nto t ecomplex, sometimes self-serving, but alwaysfascinating world of politics, revealing the hightoll that public of ce takes, and more importantlythe satisfaction and privilege of servingconstituents and country. Straws has been avery public life; in his biography he shows hisprivate face for the rst time, offering a vividinsight into the Blair/Brown era and the lastforty years of British politics.

Y u may not agree with all he says but the bookis readable, full of funny stories and gossipand illustrated with colour photos. If yourelooking for a good Christmas present to give tosomeone who takes an interest in politics, thismight exactly hit the spot..

FICTION:

The Yellow Birds: Kevin Powers

Everywhere John looks, he sees Murph.

He inches when carsdrive past. His ngers clasparound the ri e he hasntheld for months. Wide-eyedstrangers praise him as ahero, but he can feel himself

disappearing.The author of this wonderfullittle book is a war veteran fromIraq who subsequently becamea poet. Both these facts comeout strongly in the novel, whichis a rsthand ctionalised account of army lifein Iraq, seen through the eyes of its narrator,John Bartle. The book gives a vivid picture of pre-tour training, homecoming and after, which

is never violent in tone but which managesto convey the depth of the authors emotionsthrough deceptively quiet but beautiful prose.The reader comes to realise that the enemy isnot so much the Iraqi army as War itself. Lyricaland profoundly moving, many critics havesuggested this book will become a classic- andI am inclined to agree.

CHILDRENS BOOK:The Fairytale Princess : Su Blackwell

I saw this book at a trade fair and instantly fell in love withit. Sub-titled Seven Classic Stories from the EnchantedForest it contains charming retellings of some of the mostwell-known and best-loved fairy tales of British literature,e.g Cinderella, The Sleeping Beauty and Rapunzel. Butthe books real appeal lies in the illustrations: each fairytaleemerges from the page through a photographed series of intricate paper sculptures cut from the pages of one of seven

books, one for each of the fairytales in the collection. Each fairytale has its own particular visualavour: for example, the story of Sleeping Beauty is blue and dreamy, while The Princess and thePea is green and summery.

Quite magical, and a lovely new way to enjoy some old favourites. De nitely one for the Christmaslist.
