60 WORDS FOR 60 YEARS
The children at Cardinham School were set the task of writing “60 Words for 60” in celebration of the Queen’s Jubilee. Below are the three winners. “In sixty years time, our tree might see buses that fly, computers that
fit in to your pocket, and space ani-mals on earth. The world might be different with aliens on it, flying cars, and cars that drive under water. People might be able to fly with wings and jet packs, and children will fly into school in the morning”
“In sixty years our tree will see:- flying TVs, super wrist bands, new animals, holidays in space, flying cars, and people might fly with jet packs. Life might be different with a new moon, people becoming friends with aliens, more outlaws, and electric glasses. There might also be friendly drag-ons, and helpful robots who help people and do their jobs” “The world is changing but things ain’t all doom and gloom. Just think of computers doing your
work, cars steering without the driver on the wheel life and thou-sands of things change every day planes can now fly in space and the every day bug turns into new spe-cies and machines get stronger and robots will soon be reborn”
The Pre-school children also had
their take on the Queen and here are some of their thoughts which are on the notice board at Cardin-ham Hall. “I think the Queen always wears her crown” “I think the Queen gets money—so
she can get a pound” “The Queen drives a blue tractor and she does dung spreading” “I think the Queen shares out all the tractors” “I think the Queen waters flowers in a plant pot” “I think the Queen likes to play with
frogs” “I think the Queen feeds the ducks”

WARLEGGAN & CARDYNHAM WOMEN’S INSTITUTE
On our Birthday Meeting in April Members enjoyed a visit to the Duchy Nurseries at Lostwithiel be-ing tempted by the many plant displays, the Shop and finishing up with refreshments by the open fire.
Mrs Ball, President, welcomed everyone to the May Meeting. Be-fore the meeting commenced Members stood in silence in memory of Mrs Enid Dyer one of our Institute’s founder members. She was a stalwart of our Institute and will be greatly missed.
Mrs R Wilton from St Neot WI at-tended the meeting to outline the Resolution for the forthcoming AGM. We voted on the two reso-lutions being put forward – to in-crease the number of midwives and the exploitation of children through advertising. Mrs Wilton
who will be representing our Insti-tute at the AGM will be able to vote on our behalf. Following the above and the Busi-ness Meeting we all enjoyed a cream tea. Competion winners—1st Mrs M Harris; 2nd Mrs M Ball; 3rd Mrs J Tucker. Flower of the month – 1st
Mrs M Harris; 2nd Mrs M Smeeth: 3rd Mrs M Ball Mrs J Tucker. Birthdays – B Keast; M Tucker Raffle winner – Several Members were lucky in the raffle draw. We meet the first Tuesday of each month at the Warleggan Jubilee Hall at 2.00pm you will be made
very welcome.
RECYCLING BAGS At the recent Parish AGM Derris Watson our County Councils was asked about who was responsible for recycling bags once they had been emptied. Here is here reply. “Dear Gill I asked the Head of Legal Services
who would be responsible if a re-cycling bag blew away and caused an accident He replied Derris There would be no difference be-tween a recycling bag or any other
form of material being blown from the property into the road. It would be a question of foreseea-bility. If the resident was aware that the recycling bag could get blown around and did nothing about it and an accident occurred eg be-
cause it was blown on to a car windscreen, then they could be li-able. Of course, if it's loose because they have left out recycling in the place indicated by Cory and it has blown from that position when empty then it is unlikely that they would be held responsible.
Regards Richard” So, read into that what you will—is anyone actually responsible? (Editor)

WARLEGGAN’S JUBILEE
The festivities began in the Village hall on the Friday evening with a Ceilidh (a sort of Celtic ‘barn dance’ which has the virtue of be-ing age-inclusive). Dancers ranged from the very young, very small and very energetic to the considerably taller, much older and much more stately Cyril
Keast. It was great fun and was organised by the Hall Committee. We watched the weather anxiously over the week-end—it was far from the ‘flaming June’ of other years but months earlier Gill Keast had assured me the it would be fi-ne on the Monday, and it was! By
mid-afternoon there was warmth and sunshine, and in the middle of Home Field there was the lonely figure of Frank Smeeth, seated on a bar stool slowly turning the spit, Geoff’s impressive contraption with its ex-Rover steering wheel, that later in the day so fascinated the children. By 6pm the lamb was literally done to a turn, and people began to arrive—and grad-ually the sun retired behind clouds and the temperature dropped. However, well over a hundred adults and a large number of chil-dren appeared, there was enough food for all, including the vegetari-an option, and people were clearly enjoying themselves. It is not easy to cater for an un-predictable number on a small budget: the main course was cov-ered by the £3 charge for adults, together with the help of a small grant from Cornwall Council for
which we are most grateful. But
all the salads and all of the des-serts were brought and generous-ly donated by members of the parish. Similarly, all the raffle prizes were donated. Without such support a small community like ours cannot thrive and we should appreciate and cherish it. Unfortunately, the idea, so attrac-
tive a few months ago, of the par-ish relaxing in the evening sun-shine watching the Warleggan Su-perbowl (a game or two of round-ers) was not realistic as skies darkened and temperatures tum-bles. Nevertheless a surprising number of hardy revellers made
their way up to another of the Smeeths’ fields where there was a bonfire of furze (kindly donated by Rupert Hanbury-Tenison) and built up be Geoff. At 10pm Barbara and Cyril Keast, as the only mem-bers of the parish to have cele-brated their diamond wedding, and that was several years ago, lit the bonfire. As the flames rose, there was a spontaneous outburst of the National Anthem. It was actually quite moving to watch the glowing yellow dots begin to ap-pear around us on the distant horizon and to feel part of the na-tionwide celebration of the Queen’s reign. Many people contributed in many different ways to the success of Warleggan’s Jubilee and we thank you all. God save the Queen!

JULY 2012
Do you have a certain time that you like to get up in the morning? Do you habitually go to bed after the weather forecast in the evening? Does your tummy rumble if you have not eaten at around about 12.30 p.m. to 1.00 p.m. each day? (My nickname with my children is: “Lunch is at 1.00”). In other words, have you got a settled pattern to your day? The-se questions may seem unimportant to you, but in fact our habits and modes of living matter; one day we will be called to account for the use we have made of the gift of life. The Diocese of Truro has recently pub-
lished a booklet entitled “Way of Life – a pattern for Christian living”. It challenges us to review the life we lead and to think again, to reflect on its validity. Most of us have predictable hours, predictable patterns. The-se may have developed without much deliberate thought or conscious choosing. Sometimes they will have been imposed on us by circumstanc-es and we have never challenged them. Maybe now is a good moment to evaluate our way of going on and to change it, if it no longer leads to that life in all its fullness that is promised in Christ. And, as we think about
our rule of life, perhaps we should remember St Benedict of Nursia, au-thor of the Benedictine rule and founder of monasteries at Subiaco and Monte Cassino. (His day is July 11th and he died in 550 A.D.) His moder-ate and understanding leadership proved to be immensely influential, not least because it was workable and took account of human nature. I won-der, do we build in enough recreation and exercise into our own pattern of daily living? And do we give in service to others all that we can and should give? A n -drew
JUBILATION AT THE JUBILEE HALL By the time you read this, building and refurbishment work will be well under way at Warleggan Jubilee Hall in Mount, after many months of de-lays awaiting the promise of grants. The project is to extend the hall into the field behind to provide a much-needed storeroom, create French windows at the back and to refurbish completely the toilet arrangements. In addition to new Men’s and Wom-
en’s toilet cubicles, there will also be a specially equipped toilet for disa-bled people. Sanitary ware will be of high quality and each toilet cubicle will have hot and cold water. The Women’s toilet area will incorporate baby changing fa-cilities. Hall users are asked to exercise a little patience during the work, which should be completed before the end of “summer”. Initially, the current Men’s toilet will be used for both Men and Women until their respective fa-cilities are installed.
The extension has been made possible by a generous gift of an appro-
priate corner of the field behind the hall by the owner, Geoff Beglan. The gesture is greatly appreciated. The work is being funded largely through grants totalling £49,166 chan-nelled through the Defra-delegated East Cornwall Local Action Group un-der the Rural Development Programme for England and including £2,175 from Cornwall Community Foundation. These were won after many months of frustration by Hall treasurer Jasmina Goodair. A further £17,175 has been offered for kitchen equipment once plans
have been agreed. Contractor for the extension and toilet work is Tim Whitehead, who has done a considerable amount of building work in and around the parish. Plumbing work is being undertaken by Matthew Keast and Geoff Smeeth will be helping initially with the groundwork.

SAMPLER PRESENTED TO PARISH
Mrs Mavis Ball, President of the WI, has worked this beautiful sampler commemorating the Queen’s Dia-mond Jubilee and the Members have kindly presented it to the Par-ish. It will in due course, after the
building works are completed, be hung on display in the Hall. We thank Mavis and the WI for this kind gesture.

ROYAL CORNWALL SHOW WIN FOR YFC
Warleggan YFC, again for the se-cond year running, were awarded top marks in the Cubicle Competi-tion the subject of which was 60 years of the Queen’s reign. Con-gratulations and well done to our
hard working Club.

who span the 60 years)
GOLDEN TOUCH A show garden built by landscaper Danny Flynn, owner of Lower Wooda Barn at Warleggan, was awarded an RHS Gold Medal at the re-cent Chelsea Flower Show, along with the Royal Horticultural Society President’s Award for the most impressive exhibit in the show – the first time the award has gone to a show garden rather than a floral stand in the main marquee. The garden, entitled “Quiet Time: Korean DMZ Forbidden Garden”, was a recreation of how nature has reclaimed the “no-man’s-land” of the demilitarised buffer zone between North and South Korea since the ar-
mistice ended the Korean War 60 years ago. The garden designer, Jihae Hwang, a South Korean who has a back-ground in fine art and environmental art, specified a large range of uniquely Korean plant species, many of them endangered and found only in the undisturbed setting of the demilitarised zone (DMZ). The aim was to demonstrate nature’s versatility and resilience in a place once full of destruction. The garden featured a stream linking the north and south, an old tim-
ber watch tower, the remains of old land mines, bullet and shell cases, a soldier’s helmet, old bottles hanging from the barbed wire containing message from divided families and thousands of dog-tags representing the many soldiers who lost their lives in the war. The RHS President, Elizabeth Banks – herself a landscape architect - described it as “the most moving garden I have ever seen” and praised it as “brilliantly constructed”. Danny also built a small, artisan garden at the show for an internation-al communications consultancy, APCO, which was awarded an RHS Sil-
ver Medal.
