10 The Green Gardener

Thank goodness for our gardens during lockdown, many of us have found peace, space and plenty of time to cosset them. The weather has been very kind, apart from an unseasonably cold spell with a severe frost, so those that planted out tender plants will be disappointed. Not to worry, the potatoes will soon recover, they may be a couple of weeks later than planned.

The old adage “Cast not a clout, ‘til May is out” still holds true.

The garden centres and nurseries should be opening up now, so there is still plenty of time to plant beans, courgettes, squash and pumpkins.

June is a busy month in the garden, there is sowing to be done, planting, weeding and watering, as a reward there will be broad beans, early potatoes, lettuce and spinach. The last of the spring cabbages will be nearly over and it is wise to stop cutting asparagus at the start of June.

Mulch where possible, it helps retain moisture and keep down weeds, but never let the vegetables go short of water in hot, dry spells. Nets over the carrots will deter the carrot fly, enjoy your new produce.

11 12 The past few weeks have been very challenging for many of us in varying ways. Police work has brought new situations to be dealt with on a daily basis due to the Covid19 restrictions placed on us all by the Government.

The majority of people have adhered to these restrictions whole- heartedly, understanding the necessity of it all. However some people have either knowingly or unwittingly been in breach of the regulations and it has kept us very busy indeed. Our Policing approach has been to ‘Engage, Explain and Encourage’ people to stick to the rules and this has, on the whole, been very effective with the public willing to work with us for the sake of everyone else. A few fines have been issued but as a last resort.

Crime patterns have also changed due to shops being closed and most houses being occupied all day and night. There have been less Burglaries and Shoplifting is down. However as we now move towards changes to ‘Lock down’ and life, albeit slowly, gets back to normal I would like to remind everyone to keep good crime prevention routines going. Make sure your vehicles are secure with nothing left on show. Keep your home secure when you are out but also when you are at home, keep doors locked, both front and rear.

Be vigilant to what is happening in your area, continue to look out for one another and if anything seems suspicious then please call us 101 or of course if an emergency ring 999.

Your Beat team continues to work hard for you and we care about the area we work in and the people who reside there. So please all keep safe and well and let’s continue helping one another through this challenging time.

13 The birds of Thrussington

We are blessed in this village with a variety of walks on interesting footpaths and this spring season has given us extra opportunities to enjoy our surroundings and with the absence of aircraft and traffic noise, birdsong has never been louder. Added to that this year, has been the bonus of access to the Warners Wood areas, off the footpath to Brooksby. We have been entertained by a significant variety of resident British birds and a regular flow of summer arrivals after their migration from the south. Buzzard

Having compiled the list, I was agreeably surprised at the variety of birds we have seen or heard in our area. If you watch and listen, you will notice that your surroundings attract a wide variety of birds, from the scolding rich song of a Wren, Great and Blue Tits flitting in the trees, Collared Doves hooting , Robins and Blackbirds establishing territorial rights through their song and of course House Sparrows chirruping from the hedges. Whilst overhead, Jackdaws and Woodpigeons are always in action and on warm days the local Buzzards can be seen and heard, soaring on the thermal air currents. If you are really lucky you may catch a glimpse of a Red Kite also showing its elegant flight skills, whilst similarly there may be Sparrowhawks passing though at great speed.

We have benefitted from our proximity to the river Wreake. The valley has provided the habitat for the commoner water birds like Moorhen, Mallard, Heron, Swan and Geese, as well as newer settlers in this country like Little Egrets, identifiable by its size and whiteness, the shape of a small heron. We saw 7 of these together in a field near to Rearsby Mill in April.

The third big tree downstream of the Rearsby Road river bridge has a couple of bare branches sticking out at the top. These make an ideal perch for Cormorants that regularly pay a visit. More unusual sights and

14 sounds included a great Spotted Woodpecker, Little Egret when ‘drumming’ to mark his territory, using the top of a telegraph pole on Old Gate Road, already capped by a metal sheet.

The Woodpecker was beating with its beak directly onto the metal cap – with great effect!

One of the first arrivals on migration is the Chiffchaff, immediately recognisable by its “chiff chaff “call. I heard one yesterday (late May), singing in a tree near to the village hall. They are very difficult to spot now that the trees are in full leaf but hear them you definitely will. They have been joined by returning Blackcaps, Willow Warblers, Whitethroats and the commoner village sights of Swallows, House Martins and more recently Swifts.

Use the link below to help you identify birds by their song. https://www.rspb.org.uk/birds-and-wildlife/bird-songs/what-bird-is- that/

This is my list of the species seen or heard on our recent walks: Blackbird, Blackcap, Blue Tit, Buzzard, Canada Goose, Chaffinch, Chiffchaff, Collared Dove, Cormorant, Crow, Goldcrest, Goldfinch, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Great Tit, DonGreen’t forget Woodpecker, - you can Greenfinch, still do an Easter Greylag egg huntGoose, at home!Hedge Sparrow (Dunnock), Heron, House Martin, House Sparrow, Jackdaw, Kestrel, Little Egret, Long Tailed Tit, Magpie, Mallard, Mizzle Thrush, Moorhen, Mute Swan, Nuthatch, Reed Bunting, Robin, Rook, Skylark, Song Thrush, Sparrowhawk, Starling, Swallow, Swift, Tree Creeper, Whitethroat, Woodpigeon and Wren.

15 Down with...

We are still offering weekly activities online via our Facebook page and our website. To celebrate St Georges day we organised a virtual camp at home, building an indoor den, pitching a tent or just sleep under the dining table! We started Friday evening with flag break and a germ activity to tie in with the current situation. Saturday saw us all renewing our Scout promise, then on to complete additional activities including making animals out of fruit ready for our morning break. We also had a virtual camp fire with sausages on a fire or BBQ.

Sunday was started with our district mascot ‘Charlie Charnwood’ (see left) running a Joe Wicks style morning stretch! Then Rev Wendy from All Saints Church Loughborough joined us and ran our Scouts own. We had over 500 young people join in for the weekend and some very happy smiling faces.

This week has seen a week of Lego building challenges, and we are also holding a twice weekly quiz – so Scouting continues as strong as ever.

If you are interested in getting involved, whether this be fund raising, a leader, or a committee member, we would like to hear from you. Help shape the future of a young person, make a difference and become part of Scouting. For more information, without any obligation please contact Paul Smith on [email protected]

Pictures:16 Charlie Charnwood and a ‘crab’ apple ...the kids

We have been having weekly meeting by Zoom, which has been fun!

The Brownies have taken part in lots of activities, including making sock puppets, designing a superhero including glitter girl and heroes defending the environment and promoting kindness.

Other activities include designing a personal emoji. One of our Brownies also came up with a scavenger hunt race to do around the house, the best time was 6½ minutes!

Badges have been sewn on and the next challenge is to take part in a wide T-shirt design competition with the theme “Guiding at home 2020”

17 Sock puppets by Elizabeth, Flo & Phoebe The 20th May was ‘National Thank a Teacher’

day, and it was a perfect opportunity to thank all the staff at Thrussington Primary School.

On the 20th March, the school closed its doors to all children apart from those of critical workers. The staff did not know how long this was for or when they would have classrooms full of children and fun again, but in true Thrussington fashion they embraced the challenge and have continued to provide our children and ourselves with lots of fun and learning opportunities.

From carefully planned activities, daily storytelling, opportunities to star in ‘Miss Berry special’ videos, personalised videos, letters, sunflower growing, headteacher challenges and much more.

We feel very lucky to have such a wonderful School, with fabulous staff, on our doorstep and can’t thank them enough for all they have done.

Miss Berry has started a stone snake from the School gate, please add to it, her hope is to get it all the way to the village shop (obviously avoiding driveways). It would be lovely if we can make this happen.

So thank you, to all the staff at Thrussington Primary School from the Children and their

Lighter side to Lockdown

Whilst there is nothing remotely funny about Covid-19, there is some fun & humour to be found in lockdown. Thanks to Sue Gee and the Harrison/Nurcombe families...

Coronavirus has turned us all into our dogs. We wander around the house looking for food. We get told "No!" if we get too close to strangers. We get really excited about going for walks and car rides!

We low maintenance chicks are having our moment right now. We don't have nails to fill and paint, roots to dye, eyelashes to re-mink, and are thrilled not to have to get dressed every day. I have been training for this moment my entire life!

Not to brag, but I haven't been late to anything in over 8 weeks.
