Halloween and a birthday to celebrate; our adorable little Dudley is 3 years old today.                                                        

MBC  very kindly brought some ceramic pumpkins for anyone who would like to decorate one. In addition; attached to the Pumpkins was a little Halloween themed bag of compost and a packet of Cress or Mustard seeds. ‘How very thoughtful of them,’ the team agreed.

Marion sent Frost Magazine a message: ‘Would you believe that Colin Rutter responded to our request for a Christmas Tree. Hand delivered by Colin, who just happens to be yet another Brady Square lad and a close relation of good old Ernie Rutter. His hardware shop was next doorto Margaret’s  Uncle Stan’s Long Pole.. In addition, he brought lights and decorations for the tree. Colin said I could take his photo when he comes back in his Santa outfit to see the tree all light up.’  I’m sure Margaret isn’t the only one who can’t wait to see Santa screech to a halt in his sleigh, and admire the tree. 

‘Last Sunday at the beginning of week 15,’ Marion continued. ‘I dared to post on social media that we needed a sofa for our Centre and low and behold – by the powers that be, the fantastic Margaret Grundy got in touch on Monday morning to say she had just the thing. Margaret had it delivered to our Centre and Hey Ho we have ourselves a sofa. Our community are simply the best, better than all the rest, eee I think I feel a song coming on.’

‘This week Cultural Creatives have been aworking on 3 layered quilt techniques, initially making the top layer, they never cease to amaze me, we are in envy of them.

‘My mate Brian Mason has just dropped off our commemorate sign, he never lets us down. A proper trooper. Bob is tasked with fixing it to the wall for all to see.’

Poppies arrived during the week, according to Marion, who gave thanks to Claire who organised them and Dianne who collected them for CCA. It seems people in the area are actually struggling to locate Poppy sellers so let’s hope Marion’s post on social media brings them along to the CCA centre where they can get their Poppy and wear it with pride.

‘It’s a cause close to my heart,’ Margaret added. ‘Even more so after meeting a 25 year old veteran of Afghanistan a few years ago, who was in a wheelchair, with a portable oxygen bottle lying on his chest,and his young wife of 23 pushing. He had been shot in the neck and was paralysed from the neck down. Dick and I found ourselves wishing we could do something for these lads but it seemed such a huge project until we heard that his family and friends had raised enough money to buy the young couple an assistance dog, so he had company when his lovely young wife was busy elsewhere in their home.

‘It inspired us, and made us realise that ‘small’ was pretty good too.   With two of my writing friends we set up a small charity raising funds through writing competitions, Literary Festival days, and many other things like putting ourselves through an army assault course. Just do not ever ever mention the ‘birthing tube’! to any of us. Nightmare!

.

We, including our families, helped those in need, but found they gave us more than we could ever give them; they were such courageous  wonderful people. We have closed the charity now, as we live in a different area and things are somehow more difficult to arrange, but still raise funds in various ways: helping hands on with veterans’ writing therapy, walking Hadrian’s Wall to raise funds  for a specific need. So yes, really pleased to see Poppies are available at the CCA, as it’s a grand way to give back to all veterans who gave so much . Such a wonderful community association,  reaching out to others in every way possible ‘

 Lee, a terrific joiner working with Equan arrived in the week. According to the team he can do anything, and is their Hero. Lee was finishing off the Archway in the  Brady Square room, along with other bits and bobs. If only they could keep him here full time, they wail;  but are very grateful to Equan for their ongoing help.

All the time work is going on,  the centre is open for visitors, and during the week, they steadily arrived as usual. Coffee was made, Laptop booted up. Newspaper on the table. Tele on and one day Marion had  a good old chinwag with a gentleman who grew up Brady Square, so there was much sharing of memories of days gone by.

‘Whoop Whoop,’ Marion was thrilled to tell us.  ‘I have just come off the phone with Darren, Washington Carpet Super Store, who has very kindly pledged a rug for our Brady Square room. All we have to do is to pop in to the store and choose the rug we want. Oh, my giddy aunt, he has only donated four fabulous rugs. Thank you, Sir, you are a gentleman.’

‘Our Friday coffee morning was a great success, and a big thank you Margaret and Dick for accepting our invitation and bringing along an array of books, audio books. Not to mention knitted hats for the Seafarers.’ 

‘No, no, Marion.’  Margaret protested.  ‘Thank you so much. So many memories, and to sit chatting to Jean about my Uncle Stan and Auntie Isobel and David, because her mum worked with Stan, was wonderful.’

Marion was also pleased to see Bob and Margaret were both wearing their red shoes and boy did they look a treat. 

‘We certainly did, eh Bob.‘ said Margaret, not given to modesty.

Memories of Brady Square

“ just on the right side of drama, never veering into silliness”

Blackeyed Theatre is back. I last reviewed them some years ago when I marvelled at their production of Jekyll & Hyde. And, like that time, this play unsettled me at the start but soon won me over.

I think it’s the style. Perhaps the simplicity of the staging, the multi-role playing of the cast, the constant Brechtian reminders that it’s only a play because there is a narrator walking us through the story – in this case Dr Watson. Yet, director Nick Lane keeps everything just on the right side of drama, never veering into silliness.

Luke Barton

As Luke Barton and Joseph Derrington (aka Holmes and Watson) carry the murder mystery along with a serious believability, they also play other characters in this to and fro play. There are many flashbacks to a previous story in America, switching the setting from a Victorian stately home to a Pennsylvanian town that is being run by a Peaky Blinders style mob. Back and forth we tumble as all the pieces of Sherlock’s jigsaw fall into place…

There is a lot going on in this production and, at times, it feels tiring to watch. The rhythm is slow and the pace seldom quickens. However, fans of Sherlock and whodunnits will love it, I am sure.

Alice Osmanski and Blake Kubena

The hard-working cast drag themselves through the wordy script, assisted by a wonderful soundscape from Tristan Parkes.

To catch the show, it is still touring. Or, like me, you could watch it via a digital stream. Like all theatre, it’s better to be watching it live, so it would certainly be worth trying to see it before the tour finishes…

A bit of flu, then I was strangely without appetite for the greedy granny I am known to be  when these little beauties arrived courtesy of Postie.  They had been sent by kind and generous friends who know my weak spot. I apologise for the gap in the top row right of the image. I cannot lie, I was too weak to exert self-control and ate one immediately.  It was totally utterly truly deeply delicious.

I am horribly mean and usually make a chocolate last at least two days. nibbling it, putting it down, nibble nibble again. Well, this chocolate, dear reader, had the obligatory nibble, but then it went down the hatch in one. So delicious was it. It was then that Dick saved me from myself, holding me back, handing my the phone. ‘Take the picture.’ was the order. I did. Then I had another. Greedy granny was on the mend.

But who are Friars who made these handmade chocolates? I needed to find out more. But to aid convalescence I’ll just have another chocolate while I hunt the history.

Now we have it. Friars have 95 years of experience behind them, That’s right, they were founded 95 years ago by William Long who decided Keswick needed a luxury chocolate shop. Sensible soul.  As with Rosebud Preserves which I reviewed a few days ago, the founding principles still hold good. .

Innovation was key even all those years ago, and it still is. To this end Friars  have been leading pioneers  in developing plant based chocolate with flavoured centres, which the team of chocolatiers make by hand. First they make the shell, then the centre and finally the chocolate is dipped, decorated, and then eaten. Well, eaten by those lucky enough to be sent such a treat. And merely to show appreciation I will now have another.

Friars were also one of the first chocolate makers to start moving towards 100% biodegrade packaging. They use vegan milk and white chocolate and so on… and on… William Long would be proud. Now let’s discuss quality, and though I feel that it is not in doubt. I will have another to reassure myself. Scrummy.

Quality – Readers, there is a tasting panel. Bagsy me! Unless the tasters give a score of 9/10 the chocolate they are tasting will not be offered to customers.
In addition Friars work with unusual continental chocolate brands to bring something different to the UK, but of course, it has to be exceptional. It is. Perhaps just one more.

Longevity – Tradition is important to Friars, and the very first chocolates that William Long produced for his customers were rose and violet creams – heavens, my mum like vilet creams. I can remember the taste, and there was a little frosted violet on the top, but I daresay that was not Friars. However, Friars still make them, and they are as popular today as they were then.

As you can see, Friars are no whippersnappers, they know the world of chocolate inside out, and it shows.

So to round off, I shall have yet another chocolate, because I know you know that I don’t spare myself in the pursuit of research for your edification.Yep, good as I have come to expect.

One more point, for though I personally feel that there are no calories in chocolates unless they touch a plate, this is something I will not pass in front of experts. It is certainly not a theory with which the scales agree, but heavens, these are such a treat one simply has to – have yet another. So do please give yourselves a treat, or your friends and family at Christmas. Then they will offer you one, if not two, I’m sure.

Go on – enjoy.   You know you will.

To find out more information go to Friars 

Frankly, Frost Magazine’s editor was not feeling ticketty boo. In fact she had a bit of a bug. You know the sort, when it feels like flu, but as I haven’t had Covid, could it be…then you test negative for Covid, so perhaps it is just flu.  One starts improving, but food… No, I don’t think so.

Then an arrival…  no, not the ‘get better fairy’ waving her wand,  but a tap at the door. A delivery from a kind and thoughtful friend. It is a selection of Delicario cheeses. Still not hungry? Well, just a snippet, eh.

I should say so. All made so easy, with Pane Carasau  (Golden oven baked semolina bread)  which is delicious on its own, actually. But now the patient is pretty much ravenous, greedy, and why not with scrumminess all around.

So a soft Sapperlot cheese to start with, (cows milk, rennet, stgarter and salt)  and yes, Dick may join me. He enters with a mask on. ‘Pull yourself together. You’ve probably already caught it, so eat.’ He does.

Oh yes, quite delicious. Later in the day, we try Pecorino with Walnut Leaves, made in Romagne, Italy, of Sheep milk. Just a bit of Pecorino for there must be lots left for other days. Now though, there are two others to taste. Crikey, truffles? Yes, in the Truffelo hard cheese. Our grand daughter thought we said Gruffelo and was appalled. We put her right, because the attention must be on Granny with the flu.

Finally the Schuttler hard chees, with cow milk, fennel, caroway, anise and coriander. Dick’s favourite. I, being a totally balanced, if flu-ie person loved them all. Such a kind friend, such a greedy patient, such a great  Delicario, purveyor of fine artisan food.

Lovely jubbly in the words of Del Boy.

See all Delicario  have on offer at: Delicario

You won’t be disappointed

Rosebud Preserves (19th October 2013) – the view the Rosebud team look out onto daily

Frost Magazine received news of Rosebud Preserves delights – for you to send this Christmas, or keep. That’s the problem you see, one has to dig deep to find one’s generous self and actually give them to others rather than pop them into the pantry for yourself.

In fact, so delighted has the Frost Magazine team been as they’ve tested Rosebud Preserves’ quality products over the last few years, our editor, Margaret Graham, decided to nip across to Masham, North Yorkshire to meet Elspeth Biltoft owner of Rosebud Preserves,and her team..

Oh, and what a delight it was:

Elspeth at Rosebud Preserves

Margaret and Elspeth talked of many things :  sea and ships and sailing wax …until finally Margaret heard about the new Bramley Apple and Cider Sauce (£4.95/170g) and glorious it is too, prepared as it is with English Bramley, sweet Braeburn and a measure of Ampleforth Abbey Cider. The perfect accompaniment to Roast Pork.

(Apples 76% (Bramley & Braeburn), Ampleforth Abbey Cider 5%, unrefined cane sugar, fresh lemon juice.)

Elspeth explained, “This Bramley Apple & Cider Sauce is our interpretation of a very simple and popular accompaniment for roast meat, in particular pork or ham. It is made in collaboration with our Yorkshire neighbours, Ampleforth Abbey to the simplest of recipes, it contains generous quantities of freshly prepared Bramley and Braeburn apples to create a beautifully balanced, naturally sweet yet sharp sauce, enhanced with a generous measure of the Abbey’s Premium Cider. Carefully cooked to preserve its fruity freshness, every mouthful releases a pop of flavour, in huge contrast to the blandness of commercial Apple Sauce.

‘The monks of Ampleforth Abbey have grown fruit in their monastery orchard for over 200 years and this cider is made from a blend of cooking and eating apples, which are pressed in the Ampleforth cider mill and the juice is stored in large vats where it is fermented and matured for eight months.” 

Altogether, totally scrummy.  Scrummy brings us on to  Greengage Fruit Cheese (£5.50/113g)  a sweet complement for the festive cheeseboard.

Full of honey sweet flavour. Really truly deeply it is – ( is Margaret going on a bit as she tends to do?) But why not, when it is really superb, especially with Soft Blue Cheese.

Greengages 64%, unrefined cane sugar, water, fresh lemon juice. Prepared with 64g per 100g. Total Sugar content 60g per 100g.

Elspeth got a word in edgeways: “In recent years fruit cheeses have enjoyed a much-deserved revival because the intense fruity flavours work beautifully with their dairy namesakes on our favourite cheeseboards. Following the success of our Three Star Great Taste Award 2021 for Damson Fruit Cheese we have continued the theme with Greengage Fruit Cheese. This time using Cambridge greengages in a conscious decision to create an entirely different flavour profile to the damson.

“Greengages originated in Iran and are prized for their honeyed, confectionary flavour. They are considered to be amongst the finest of dessert plums. We buy our fruit from one orchard in Cambridgeshire. The recipe is deceptively simple, relying on the special characteristics of the plums alone to deliver results. The addition of unrefined cane sugar, and a little fresh lemon juice only, creates a richly flavoured and very unique preserve that works particularly well with soft blue cheeses.

Finally Elspeth mentioned that, “The sale of this product helps to raise awareness of heritage fruit varieties and the importance of preserving and planting traditional British Orchards.” Something that Frost Magazine supports wholeheartedly. 

It’s important to add here that Rosebud Preserves have created a cornucopia of gift packs (to include a variety of preserves), presented simply and with style, and priced reasonably. Ideal for  Christmas gifts – small and large.

Also this year there are  mince pies, and gin, yes gin, but Margaret will talk about these next week, with just as much enthusiasm. Though perhaps best not too much testing where the gin is concerned?!

Margaret left, reluctantly, as there was so much to see, and admire. Perhaps the most notable is that Rosebud Preserves has stayed true to Elspeth’s founding principles, which are to source local produce whenever possible, to cook traditional recipes, and use techniques that preclude the use of additives, preservatives or pectin.

While Margaret was there, Elspeth showed her a huge crate of Quince dropped off by a neighbour. How local is that?

So look out for another review of Rosebud Preserves next week. In the meantime, for a FULL list of products as the  Christmas season approaches go to:

MBC had their first session at the start of the week, and were  then back again on Wednesday, the children are making fabulous ceramic pumpkins and doing Halloween activities.

Cultural Creatives, are amazing with their screen printing onto material for Xmas decorations, and clearly the Centre is buzzing, which is just how everyone  likes it, after all, the more the merrier.

Red Shoes Bob unacked the amazing array of  new kitchen appliances during the week; they have  been a long time coming but tra la here they are and  “Cooks’ kitchen” is ready and waiting. All relevant documents strategically placed and mounted on the walls.

The  new board is on the wall outside, letting the community know our opening hours and our Warm Spaces days and hours.

‘Thanks to Alyson Chapman, we have just taken delivery of a mammoth array of memorabilia, to numerous to list from T. Bells which our centre will treasure and the Bells institution will always be part of Brady Square. Pride of place is a bench which now stands outside our front door, my pal Brain Mason, has kindly agreed to make a sign for the bench in memory of T. Bell established 1883 – 2022′ said Marion

Tele No 4 went on the wall in the Cross Streets today, ‘A tele in every room, not bad eh, our community are simply the best, I don’t know how many times I say this Margaret, “There is no blood like Brady Blood” Amazing people, hearts of pure Gold.’ Frost Magazine has to agree. 

The hats keep coming curtesy of Plain and Purl, Tuesday morning, already 27 delivered.

Tom from Equan popped in with the boxes Marion requested. A bit of packing required however, but this will be revealed at a later date, as Marion is  pledged to secrecy, for now anyway.

More good news is that Aimee has increased her weekly dance class hours during the school holidays and its lovely to see the children dancing and chuckling away.

And,  another donation of spic and span, black folding chairs from Haven Wellbeing, ‘Thank you Joanne and Donna, Good luck in your new venture.’ says the committee. 

It was the AGM of the CCA last week, with plenty of coffee, biscuits and sandwiches to keep everyone going. Marion  feels very privileged to have been re-elected as Secretary to be able to serve your community. In her capacity as secretary, she has advertised on social media for yes, wait for it, only an 8ft Christmas tree, somebody somewhere just might have one tucked away in their loft. (Margaret, shy bairns get nowt.)   

‘And no-one can accuse you of that patricular vice, Marion. I hold my tongue over any other vice’ says Margaret

Marion explained that they have tried and tried to make contact with someone who can supply the Association with Poppies to sell, not an easy task. Finally Claire from Veterans in Crisis has managed to make contact and the Association will have them very soon. Dianne, has been tasked with collecting these.

In the midst of everything Marion is preparing a Mountain bike to be shipped over the pond, fragile stickers run off, ‘I tell you what, kids, they might be thousands of miles away but when they say jump, we say how high. The joys.’

Oh, how the Association  loves the Amazon man; who delivered the wall mount for the Associations ‘open’ flag. They fully expect it to be spotted from Google Earth. If so, and aliens arrive in profusion, not to worry, there  is plenty of parking for UFO’s, everyone is welcome at Columbia Community Association.

NEWS

Q: Describe your latest book in three words.    A: Creeping, remote, thriller.

Q: What author, dead or alive, would you like to have dinner with?  A: James Herbert. I like his take on horror / darker stories. That they can also be love stories, thrillers etc. I also love that his stories are very commercial and still well loved and read, many years later. I would also like to hear more about his time as a child, living in the east end of London, the inspiration for his debut, Rats.

Q: Who would you want to play your main character in a film/tv adaptation — and why?A: For Jenny, Sally Hawkins was always on my mind while writing. She can play withdrawn and feisty equally well! Amanda Abbington would make a great Dr Cavendish, because she’s beautiful and put together like the doctor, but would be great at bringing out the darker, chaotic and determined side of her. For Amy, it would be an unknown, a young woman who doesn’t fit the usual stereotype of a lead actor.

Q: What is the most interesting/unique thing you’ve had to research for a book? A: I worked in a crumbling Victorian asylum (the inspiration for Pine End Asylum), so I knew how those buildings felt already, but to give myself a refresher I did an overnight ‘ghost’ hunt at Newsham Park (a derelict orphanage) in Liverpool. To be honest though, I don’t have to be researching to do ghost hunts, I’ve done quite a few!

Q: What are you currently reading and watching? A: I’m currently reading The Call of Cassandra Rose by Sophia Spiers and re-watching the Swedish version of Let the Right One In, one of my favourite vampire films. If it’s TV it’s usually the latest Nordic noir.

Congratulations to Sally-Anne on the publication of her debut novel, The Clinic!

Really lovely news from Joffe, who are thrilled to announce that Joy Ellis’s hugely popular Jackman and Evans series has been snatched for TV by no other than Olivier Award-winning actor Richard Armitage, who also narrates the audiobooks.

And that’s not all! Richard is also cast to play the lead role, Detective Inspector Rowan Jackman, in the TV series, titled The Fens.
Read the whole story in The Bookseller here and stay tuned for more news.
