The playgroup would like to welcome the newly built nursery at

Broad Haven school and hope many of you attended the open
day to see the impressive new facilities.
Our playgroup, which has been open for some 45 years, has
seen generations of children from the Havens and from further
afield , pass through its doors. We have provided the first
experience, for many, of a stimulating learning environment
outside of the home.
Over the years Broad Haven Playgroup has continued to move
along with education and requirements to try to provide an up to
date service, this term is no exception.
We have prided ourselves in giving a quality and welcoming
service to our community and this continues with our new hours
and the ability to offer wrap around for those who wish to access
the afternoon nursery sessions in the school.
This time has been one of great change for our playgroup, and
we are keen to continue to provide that care and first foundation
phase experience for all the children who join us.
Our numbers are currently low, and for this vital service to
continue we need our playgroup to be attended and the resources used.
If you are interested in your child starting playgroup or you
believe you can support us in any other way e.g. Fundraising,
committee member, please call the number or visit us.
Many thanks for your continued support!
Bonnie, Theresa, Sarah and all the playgroup team.

THE HAVENS COMMUNITY ALLOTMENT AND GARDENS

FREE to the first 3 callers, red and green Salad Bowl lettuce plants
for growing this autumn/winter in a polytunnel or greenhouse.
Let me explain, last autumn I tried growing both green and red Salad
Bowl, a cut and come again lettuce. They were a great success and
kept us going right through winter and early spring this year.
I let one plant of each colour go to seed. They grew 6 feet tall (!) and
produced seed that I planted end of August. They all germinated very
well so I have spare plants! Give me a call if you would like some
plants or seed. 07920050628
It has been an odd year for me at my allotment. I tried 6 different
varieties of new potatoes and was not very impressed by any of them,
Orla being the best, but not as good as International Kidney (Jersey
Royal) or Maris Peer. An aspect of growing vegetables (for taste) is
that you try to find varieties that do particularly well in your soil. I have
carried out the same trials with runner beans and Lady Di is
consistently the best flavour for my soil.
I have grown main crop Sarpo Mira, which is blight resistant and has
almost no blight and the tubers are good. However my favourite
maincrop potato for flavour and excellent storage is Pink Fir Apple.
Blight has affected the latter and I am having to pick over the tubers
as some are blight affected. I grow it because I love the flavour and it
is rarely available in shops, I think because it is a very knobbly tuber
and is best scrubbed and cooked with no attempt to peel before
cooking.
At this time of year people's thoughts are often more on Christmas
than they are an allotment plot, however work put in on preparing
beds for planting now will be well rewarded next year. Included in the
annual fee of 25 is as much manure as you need for your plot AND
if you pay now you get next year free, now what could be better than
that!
Good gardening, Patrick Hellings THCAG Treasurer.

How to attract them to your garden: Jays are relatively infrequent garden visitors,
but may be tempted by peanuts and scraps. They are more likely to use your
garden for storage of seeds. Aside from seeds they feed on carrion and eggs.
Conservation status: Green (no cause for concern).
BTO Garden BirdWatch data show that, at this time of year, one in ten participants record Jays in their garden. In 2014 I saw a Jay during two weeks of the
year, in 2013 it was ten weeks and so far this year its been six.
Make Your Garden Count!
If you enjoy watching birds and other creatures in your garden, and want to help
track their fortunes, then BTO Garden BirdWatch could be perfect for you. Please

Happy Garden Bird Watching!

BIRD WATCH
QUIZ : ThE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER
Welcome to this months Bird Watch. Im one of two volunteer Ambassadors for the
British Trust for Ornithologys (BTO) Garden BirdWatch scheme in South Wales.
Each month I introduce you to a bird or other animal that you might see in your
garden.
Bird of the Month: Jay
At this time of year there is generally plenty of natural food around. Birds only have
themselves to care for they have no dependants and, generally, no territories.
Mixed-species flocks of birds can often be seen foraging together. You wont see
Jays among these as they prefer their own company even established pairs
spend much of their time apart. Jays are tree seed specialists with a passion for
acorns. Although they favour woodlands, at this time of year you may spot them
using your garden as an acorn larder, carefully burying their treasure in the lawn or
borders. They find a different hiding place for every single seed! Birds can travel up
to 2 miles to find acorns, carrying up to nine in their bill and adapted gullet,
although three is more usual. Part of the crow family, Jays have a pinkish-brown
body and black tail; look out for the dazzling azure flash on their wings and bold
white rump as they fly away. Jays are shy birds and tend to see you before you see
them. To warn all other birds in the area they issue a loud, harsh screaming call.
Did you know?
A Jay will stash up to
5,000 acorns during autumn. They have great
memories but will inevitably forget the location
of some, thus helping
new oak trees to grow.
Our Jays may be joined
by cousins from northern and eastern Europe
if those countries have a
poor acorn crop.
The Welsh name is Ysgrech y Coed, meaning
Scream of the Wood.
1 In 1985 Mick Hucknell formed a boy band which after great success
disbanded in 2010. It is about to embark on a 30th anniversary reunion tour.
What was the bands original name and why was it so named?
2. What percentage of the population of Europe is redheaded. And that of
Wales?
3. Which of the following were not born with red hair : Winston Churchill, Dylan
Thomas, Prince Harry, Simon Pegg, Gillian Anderson?
4. According to their names which part of these birds is coloured red:
Redstart, Redpoll? And what has become The National Bird of Wales?
5. Where is Pembrokeshires only wild herd of Red Deer to be found?
6. What was Red October in the quizs title?
7. Just 120 miles from Pembrokeshire there exists in the wild colonies of
monster alien insects unknown in the rest of the world. What type of insect,
where are they found, and of what chemical is their sting composed?
8. There are just 3 places left in Wales where red squirrels are to be found.
Where are they and where in Pembrokeshire is it proposed to introduce them?
A Big Thank-you! to Peter Connell for his continued support and

submission of brilliant quizzes! Answers on page 35

Gwyneth Hopkins, Reiki

Practitioner
Reiki is a form of "Hands on Healing"
(the client remains fully clothed). It works
towards reducing stress, pain and
tension. For a person in good health,
Reiki offers a pleasant way to relax, to
relieve stress and to increase energy
and vitality.
Reiki can be used to facilitate the healing
of illness. It may help to strengthen the
immune system, eliminate toxins and
release emotional blockages.
Your Reiki treatment will be in a private
and peaceful environment. I also
practice other therapies and teach Reiki.

Guiding News October; 2015
Brownies restarted on Wednesday 16th September with a new

time and new leaders. Nine girls enjoyed the evening, meeting the new leaders and deciding on their new Brownie
names. (Squirrel and Deer are the new leaders; Badger and
Hedgehog are helping them out this term).
Lots of activities are planned including shoulder bag decorating, badge work,
pavement chalking, art workshop and of course learning some new songs plus an
opportunity to spend some time at a Pack Holiday.
It is still hoped that Rainbows will restart, keep your eyes open
for details (existing rainbows will be contacted by email or text
as soon as possible).
Guides will be meeting regularly during this term and will be

contacted directly by Dolphin.
Rugby World Cup - On Monday 14th September a signed
World Cup Rugby Ball (and banner) were hosted by Pembrokeshire Guiding at
Tasker Millward School as part of its journey around Wales. The banner and ball
travelled 1000 miles around Wales within 7 days and arrived safely back in Cardiff.
The Banner looked wonderful with over 3000 colourful signatures and many
personal messages for the Welsh Squad.The final stop for the Banner was when
a dozen Guiding members took it to the The Vale Hotel Hensol for the Welsh
Squad to see all the good luck messages before they left for their first game. The
well-travelled ball looked as good as the day it left and will be part of a Rugby
Exhibition at The National Museum of Wales from Monday 21st September until
November 2015. Throughout the last 7 days, the photographs on Facebook,
Twitter and Instagram have been absolutely super and each telling a story of so
many members of Girlguiding laughing and having fun. This really is a fantastic
organisation to be part of

QUIZ : ANSWERS
1.' Red'; When asked originally the bands name Mick said Red, simply red and
the name stuck. Red after the colour of Micks hair. 2. 2%; 12% of Welsh people
have red hair. It is a recessive gene possessed by 40% of the Welsh and both
parents need it to produce a red headed child. 3. They all have natural red hair. 4.
Start is Old English for tail, from this came stark and stark naked means with
the rump exposed! Poll is Middle English for head, hence poll tax or pollarded.
The Red Kite was all but extinct in Wales but there are now 1,000 breeding pairs.
50 may be seen together at the feeding centre at Llanddeusant, (Brecon Beacons).
5. Ramsey Island. 6. A 1990 film from Tom Clancys book starring Sean Connery
featured a Soviet nuclear submarine Red October threatening the USA. 7. In the
estuary to Dublins River Liffey lies an island, 1 mile long, mile wide where in
1945 were discovered these colonies of monster red ants looking just like jig-saws
or mosaics, being made up of small fragments of male and female tissue, all
jumbled together. This cannot be due to genetic chance because the black ant
colonies are the same and radiation studies were negative. No-one can explain this
mystery. Their bite contains formic acid (Formica: Latin: Ant) 8. Anglesey, Clocaenog (North Wales), Tywi Valley in the Cambrian Mountains, Mid Wales where the
genotype is the purest in Britain. The Monks on Caldy hope to introduce the red
squirrel there.
