Hurrah for the Council of the Isles of Scilly! This is not an exclamation you’ll hear regularly resounding through the offices of the Tresco Times but in October the council approved Sunday flying to and from the Isles of Scilly. This is great news for both visitors and locals. Skybus are currently looking in to potential schedules and the council, who run the airport, are looking at staffing levels.

“THE VOTE WAS CARRIED 14-2 SO THERE WASBROAD SUPPORT FOR THE MOVE. I THINK IT’SA VERY POSITIVE STEP FORWARD, ALLOWINGGREATER FLEXIBILITY FOR TRAVELLERS,ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT NEED TO BE BACK AT WORK ON A MONDAY MORNING. PERSONALLY, I AM GOING TO ENJOY WEEKEND TRIPS TO THE MAINLAND TO SEE MY DAUGHTERS ANDGRANDCHILDREN, AS WELL AS A SPOT OF GOLF TOO!”

Tresco councillor Mike Nelhams

We’ll keep you in touch with developments as they progress but remember to book early to secure your first-choice flights!

NEW ARRIVALS

Congratulations to James and Steph Bailey on the birth of their daughter, Sophia on 14th September, weighing in at 5lbs 12oz at the Royal Cornwall Hospital, Truro.

New arrivals all round for the Featherstones who moved to Tresco this year as a family of three (Rob, Ruth and young Amos) and are now a family of four with the birth of Isaac David on 3rd September, weighing 8lbs 1oz.

TRESCO.CO.UK THE MOVIE – NEW YEAR, NEW LOOK, NEW FEEL

Keep your eyes peeled over the next few weeks for the latest incarnation of www.tresco.co.uk. The aim is for the site to be simpler to navigate while refreshing the way it looks. It should go live on 20th January. Have a wander through it and let us know what you think. Pride of place is a brand new Tresco mini-movie, which was shot last year to give a flavour of the island. Unfortunately, its release comes too late for this year’s Oscars...

A very fond farewell to Max Rowe who has left Tresco to return to his native Cornwall, in particular to Mousehole where he is now working at the Old Coastguard, an excellent spot for a stop-over when travelling to or from the islands. Max came to Tresco in

“We’ve been thrilled with the success of thenew red squirrel colony at the Abbey Gardens.It’s fantastic that our red squirrels can bereleased safely into the wild in this way,protected from grey squirrels. The islandis perfect for the reds and we are hopefulthat this colony will breed successfully andbecome self-sustaining. The knowledge we’vegained during this release venture will putus in an excellent position to help establishred squirrel colonies in other suitableprotected environments. Anything that helpsincrease the UK red squirrel population issomething we would be very happy to support.”

comment favourably on the seamless nature of their travel arrangements.

The re-homing of the red squirrels is part of an introduction programme organised collaboratively by Robin Page, the Daily Telegraph’s countryside editor, the Countryside Restoration Trust, Tresco Island and the British Wildlife Centre. David Mills of the British Wildlife Centre commented:

The red squirrels have all been released just outside the lower gate of the Abbey Gardens and can easily be seen dashing about around in the environs of the garden entrance. The squirrels are fairly intrepid and have been seen running past the Island Office at New Grimsby and also up at Borough – so keep your eyes peeled!

NONIE HANDY 1928 – 2013 AND GLORIA LAWRY 1930 – 2013

It is the Tresco Times’ sad duty to report the deaths of Nonie Handy and Gloria Lawry. Nonie passed away in her home in September, aged 85. After a short illness, Gloria passed away at the

Royal Cornwall Hospital in October, aged 82. Nonie and Gloria were cousins, lifelong friends, workmates and neighbours.

With their passing, Tresco has lost two icons of the community. Nonie and Gloria were mothers, grandmothers and great-grandmothers and our thoughts remain with their families. Nonie and Gloria will have full obituaries in the Tresco Times Yearbook.

TheIslander.co.uk 69

I was born on Tresco, at No 3 Blockhouse Cottages, in 1928. I had a very happy childhood.

I had lovely parents: not a lot of money but all the love.

My father came here because his father was a Coastguard officer and they got stationed on Tresco, where the hotel is, the big house on the end. I think father was eight when they came. When he was 14 he went to work for the Ryans - that’s the farm that Bruce Christopher has now. He worked there until the First World War and he joined up at 17. He came back to Tresco from the army and then met my mother here. She was a Londoner. She used to work for the Boscawens, friends of the Dorrien-Smiths. She was a cook - in those days they didn’t call them chefs! She had a breakdown and the Boscawens said they thought it would do her good to come to Scilly. She came to work in the Abbey as a maid and that’s when my father met her. She came here and she never went away again! Ever. The only time she went away from here was when she was dying. They took her away to hospital, she was 78, and then brought her

back to St Mary’s and she died down there. She married my father at 28.

At school we just did the basics. We went from the age of five until fourteen and then you were out to work. There were forty of us in the school. Miss Hoare was our teacher and she was alright. She certainly got through to us – we had the three ‘R’s when we left school. She drummed it into us. I hated school. My mother used to have to carry me there – I didn’t want to go! I got used to it in the end.

Major Dorrien-Smith and his wife used to come in to the school back then. They would look through the registrar and see who’d been behaving themselves and who hadn’t! If you’d done good work you got a prize. They gave us a school treat once a year on the Abbey Green. There were races and if you won you were given sixpence, which was a lot of money to us then. There would be a nice tea and then they would present the school prizes. At Christmas the Dorrien-Smiths would have a big Christmas tree put up in the Reading Room. It reached right up to the roof. We all had to dance

around the tree and there were presents for everybody. We used to choose what we wanted off the tree. They were lovely presents too! I’ve still got one of them now – a small leather attaché case. We would have to sing for the old Major. He always liked ‘Polly-wolly doodle all the day’ and ‘Oh my darling Clementine’.

They used to have cattle on Tean when I was a girl. They were Estate cattle and the men would fetch them in a barge. Uncle Fred Cutler used to go over to Tean to water them – there was a well with a big wheel on it. Fred would pump up the water for the cows. He used to say to us children “Do you want to come to Tean?” We’d say yes but we were half-afraid of him, because he was a real old salt. We used to sail over to Tean in his boat and we’d stay there for half a day, wandering around. One time we were coming home and the wind went off. Well, we were just sitting there. Uncle Fred looked at us, three little six year old children, and said “Do you want to get home tonight?” We sat there, half-frightened and said “Yes...” Fred just said: “Well blow, you little buggers, blow!” Oh, he was lovely!

I remember the men all digging potatoes with shovels, it was all shovel work. At 9am the women used to go out and they’d pick up the potatoes behind the men. The potatoes would be put into baskets with lids. We’d put the little ones, or chats as we used to call them, in one basket and the larger ones in another. As kids we were supposed to help. We used to go with mother and take sandwiches – corned beef sandwiches and lemonade!

When I grew up my father was boss of the flower sheds on Tresco. Sunday afternoons was spent out with my Dad. He used to take us to Rowesfield, where all the flower sheds and glasshouses were. We used to go down with him to make sure that the flowers all had water. The flowers were always wide open – the boxes looked lovely. They were beautiful – and the smell when father used to open the big shed doors,

I LOVE THEHONESTY OF PEOPLE.”

A Tresco family has helped to raise over £3,000 for charity through a trail of painted shells on the harbour wall. Passers-by choose a shell and replace it with a coin of their choice, from 1p to £2. The money sits on the wall until collected by the fund-raisers, who rely not only on generosity but honesty too. Richard and Maralyn Hobbs, with their daughters Emily and Isabella had the idea to use this formula to raise £400 to replace swing seats at the Tresco Playpark. Richard Hobbs told the Tresco Times:

BLOOMIN’ BEAUTIFUL

This year saw Tresco Abbey Garden enter “South West in Bloom” for the very first time, a long-standing competition sponsored and organised by the Royal Horticultural Society. In October, we were delighted to hear that Tresco had been extremely successful in three categories. Tresco won the “Mary Mortimer” Trophy – Gold, awarded in the floral campaign to beautify the cities, towns and villages of south-west England. The Abbey Garden also received The London and Manchester Cup for Outstanding Contribution to Environmental Initiative and a discretionary award for Outstanding Horticulture and Plantsmanship.

CORNWALL TOURISM AWARDS

Many congratulations to both Hell Bay and the New Inn for their achievements at the 2013 Cornwall Tourism Awards.

Hell Bay was awarded Gold in the Small Hotel Category and the New Inn took the Bronze in the Pub of the Year category.

These fine establishments are also flying the flag for the region as finalists in the South West Tourism Excellence Awards. The results will be announced on 30th January so keep your fingers crossed!

TRESCO & BRYHER FOOD FESTIVAL 2013

This year’s Food Festival proved another success, though there was one close call. Cornish fish supremo Matthew Stevens was due to deliver a series of his filleting masterclasses on Tresco. Unfortunately, Matthew was indisposed at the last minute and he was forced to cancel on the morning of the festival. Disaster! Or so it seemed…

Into the breech stepped local fisherman Mark Pender of Bryher, who had flown back into the islands that morning from foreign parts. Fortified by the occasional glass of champagne from the Heidsieck stand, Mark delivered a consummate performance, brim full of insight, knowledge and local anecdotes. Well done and thank you Mark – we’ll be speaking to your agent about next year. Thanks also to Matthew Stevens, who provided all the superb fish despite not being able to make it in person.

The Tresco & Bryher Food Festival 2014 will be held on 13th – 14th September. From Fri 12th to Tues 16th Sept, we are offering a special Food Festival break (four nights at The New Inn (£540) or Sea Garden Cottages (£690), B&B). To find out more or to book, please call the Island Office 01720 422849.

Richard Larn OBE, resident of the islands and one of the country’s leading shipwreck experts sent the editor an interesting note relating to a discovery in Tresco Channel made by himself and fellow diver David McBride. Items found include a Medieval brooch, leather shoe, pewter spoon and some semi-intact wine jugs. Some elements of Tresco debris never seem to change. Richard writes:

“The latest work on the site has added significant information and importance to what is now presumed to be either a shipwreck or significant marine accident c1100 – 1225 AD. English Heritage now considers this to be a site of national importance. There are no other known wreck sites between Iron Age boats and 1450.”

When not scouring the seabed for artefacts, Richard keeps himself pretty busy. Last year he brought out two publications on the history of Scilly. The first, Augustus John Smith, sheds new light on the Emperor of Scilly, while Built on Scilly is a history of shipbuilding on the islands 1774 – 1891, which he wrote with Roger Banfield. Both come recommended by your editor. Further enquiries richardlarn@tiscali.co.uk

CRICKET CLUB SUFFERS S ILVERWARE ALLERGY

Not only did we fail to win the 2013 Triangle but the Timesharers XI claimed the Wilson Cup!

Timeshare skipper Ben Marchant (who scored a dashing 63) steered his side to a convincing victory, as the Timesharers scored 162 off 20 overs. T&BCC managed 128 in reply with the highest score 29 from Richard Dyche. Still, at least the Tresco and Bryher Cricket Club did hang on to one bit of silverware, the Pender Shield, which is awarded to the winner of the…um…Tresco vs. Bryher match. A more detailed report of the season will appear in the Tresco Times Yearbook.

Both the Men’s A and the Ladies’ A crews had a good season on the Czar, both coming second in the Czar swaps.

A few trophies were claimed too with the Ladies securing the Tresco Finish and the Reverse Triangle. The Men’s B crew had some valiant races and it was great to see a Ladies’ novice crew joining the fray and we look forward to seeing more of them next season.

GIG NEWSThoughts begin to turn inevitably to May and the World Championships, an island event which will be celebrating its 25th year. This might be the year that the starting line up for the first races breaks the 130 gig mark. If you are interested in coming along and supporting Tresco & Bryher Gig Club, we have a cheeky little four-night break over that weekend, including a spa treatment (watching sport is so exhausting) and the chance to win a lobster dinner for two with a rowing challenge. B&B at the Sea Garden Cottages with return flights £680 per person.

Gallery Tresco’s exhibition soirées continue to claim the top spot in the island’s social diary. Pictured here are

artists and Tresco favourites Maggie O’Brien (left) and Anthony Garratt on the opening night of their joint exhibition this summer. Ant is quietly working away on a Tresco project for next summer – more of that in the next Tresco Times. It was great to see Maggie back here this autumn too. Ostensibly on holiday, Maggie ended up working with the visiting degree students from the Falmouth University Drawing BA. This is the third year that first-year students have stayed on Tresco, led by course tutors Philip Naylor, Isolde Pullum and Peter Skerrett.

Maggie gave a talk to the students, drawing on her experience as a professional artist but also on her skills as a teacher, most notably at the Newlyn School of Art. Maggie later joined them on the beach for one of their group 360 degree landscape drawings. She said:

WATER COLOURS – ART ON TRESCO

It was a hugely enjoyable opportunity to spend time with everyone from the Falmouth Drawing BA – so many talented young people!

Maggie’s skills are not the sole preserve of Newlyn Art School and lucky Falmouth students. For the past few years, she has run highly-popular painting holidays on Tresco, with all abilities and experience welcome. This year she has two painting holidays based at the New Inn: Wednesday 4th to Monday 9th June and Wednesday 1st October to Monday 6th October, including tuition, return flights, dinner, bed and breakfast from £825 per person. For more information or to book, please call the Island Office on 01720 422849.

For the creatively-inclined we also have a Tresco Crafts Break (Friday 28th March to Tuesday 1st April) with a range of four workshops from jewellery-making to silk scarf printing, from £780 per person with flights and dinner, bed and breakfast at the Sea Garden Cottages.

RICKSHAW RUN 2013 THE LOW-DOWN FROM JAMES DRUCE

Who: James Druce, Will Ash, Peter Marshall, Jake Newton, Richard Dyche, Simon Whitehead (ex-Tresco), Tim Norman (ex-Bryher), Matt Philips (Somerset)

What: 3,500km challenge to traverse India in two weeks, using nothing but 7hp three wheeled rickshaws to raise money for Cancer Research UK Awaiting final total but looking to be over £10,000. Donate at ScillyMission.com

High points: The people are the friendliest we’d ever met. So many took their time to help us find somewhere to stay, or find a spare part / mechanic, and give up their time – all without wanting a penny from us. The most endearing country ever.

Low points: 22 hours straight driving into Varanasi, almost squashed by a fleet of trucks that towered over us and couldn’t see us or having to sleep on a restaurant floor after

getting stuck in a large town. No hotel would take us in – the police took pity on us and a jeep of armed officers ‘persuaded’ the restaurant owner to lend us his floor for the night.
