Autumn in the Garden
It’s now late in the season, dahlias, helenium and asters are still flowering, and will do so for a time yet providing they are deadheaded. Herbaceous perennials can be divided now, it is quite easy to do with two garden forks, it helps to rejuvenate the plant, and needs doing every few years.

Firstly, thank you to those brave and very professional souls who made their debut on the stage in the Parish Hall at Golberdon to advertise the newly forming Ladies Choir on Community Day, Saturday 20th September. The response from new members has been staggering and I’m still hearing of new people wanting to sign up.

Cornwall Meets Kolkata
Arriving in Kolkata on July 29th 2014 was as amazing as it was when I and my mother Geraldine and sister Rachel first visited in 2012.
The noise, horns blowing, children shouting, people talking , laughing, whatever time of day and night… a city that never stands still.
Help Our Wounded Cycle Challenge
Not as bad as Gunnislake Hill!
In July 2014 Steve Moir and friends undertook a 350-mile cycle challenge to raise money for Royal Marines charity Help Our Wounded. What follows are edited exerpts from Steve’s own blog – a gripping tale of heroism…
Arriving at Chatham for the start of the 350 mile cycle challenge we felt somewhat anxious whether we could cope with what was ahead. How did we come to be here?

South Hill WI Report, September 2014
Our September Meeting started with a talk from a representative from Cornwall Air Ambulance. She gave us a very well informed powerpoint presentation, detailing the excellent work done by them. Explaining that the Air Ambulance relies solely on donations and charity work raised for them by the people of Cornwall, receiving no help from outside organisations, the Government, National Lottery etc.
Church Matters
So, at the end of October the Halloween season will be upon us once again. The season often causes confusion for many Christians and churches as they wrestle with something that seems intrinsically “dark”, but that within society has generally come to be seen as just a bit of fun. While many families who might engage with the Halloween celebrations and costumes may not go in for the mischievous “trick or treat” aspects, I’ve known of people (particularly the elderly) who are very fearful of responding to a ring on the doorbell on Halloween – fearful of what they may find and what could happen. It might be a bit over the top to equate trick or treat with the legalese of “threatening with menace”, but the effects on some people in their homes can be quite intimidating.
