IN THE NEWS
More al fresco dining
THE Surfers Restaurant, in Banks Road, West Kirby, has been given the go-ahead to
expand its outdoor seating. Wirral Council approved the planning application to change
the use of part of the pavement, although the area was smaller than the restaurant had
asked for.
A council report said: “Whilst objections were received regarding the growing number
of latenight uses in West Kirby, the proposal is an addition to an existing business, and
it is the natural progression that successful businesses expand and develop. It is not
considered the cumulative impact of the proposal will have a negative impact on the
character of the area, as the restaurant and outside seating area is already
established.”
School’s best ever results

THE GCSE results at Calday were the best ever with 55% of entries graded A* or A
and the highest ever average points score.
Special congratulations go to Jonathan Campbell and Joe Denniss who both
achieved a tremendous 11A*.
In 2011, Calday celebrates its 375th anniversary. The centrepiece of the anniversary
celebrations will be the first ever completion by a school of a relay from Land’s End to
John O’Groats, involving pairs of runners covering more than 1,000 miles.
High flyers
GUIDES from the 1st West Kirby group were treated to their very own airshow when
they visited RAF Valley, on Anglesey, recently. The girls were also shown how the
mountain and sea rescue teams go about their work.
Accident blackspot
WORK has finally begun on a new roundabout near the Cottage Loaf pub, at
Thurstaston, in an attempt to reduce accidents.
The work is expected to last nearly two months, during which time there will be
closures to Station Road and Thurstaston Road as well as overnight closures to
Telegraph Road.
Wine bar plans delayed

A DECISION on a scheme for a wine bar at the former Griffiths funeral home on
Grange Bank Road, West Kirby, is due next month after planners deferred the plans.

I’d kill for a Nobel Peace Prize- Steven Wright

What happened when war broke out?

THE media has been full of commemorative stories to mark the outbreak of
World War Two 70 years ago.
But what was happening in West Kirby and Caldy in September 1939 when
Britain declared war?
Ian Boumphrey has published a book entitled ‘Wirral on
the Home Front 1939 – 45’ which contains loads of wartime
information and stories, including a number from this area.
Calday Grange Grammar School
The outbreak of war in September 1939 caused a
considerable curtailment to school activities as there was
danger from air attack; shortages of food and fuel supplies
and loss of staff who had joined the forces.
The school acquired a series of air-raid shelters dug in
the Old Field along the touchline of the 1st XV rugby pitch.
The headmaster, Mr Glasspool, had an organisational flair
and this was proved when the alert went and the whole
school of 400 pupils and masters were safe in the bunkers
in less than four minutes.
However, 400 people in a stuffy environment underground must have been an
ordeal and the sounding of the ‘All Clear’ with a resumption of school lessons must
have been a relief. Weekly gas-mask drills were carried out by the whole school and
the observance of blackout regulations in the winter months added another difficulty
to efficient working.
Mr Glasspool, who had been made a colonel in the Home Guard, became second
in command in the Hoylake area and, being heavily involved in the organisation,
was spending more time away from the school. Digging for victory now became
important and massive portions of both Old and New Fields were put under crops
with the school kitchens, which served over 300 meals a day, becoming almost self
sufficient in vegetables.
Caldy
Caldy Manor was taken over by the army in 1939. During the time that the army
were in occupation, soldiers found a subterranean passage which started near
the fire escape and crossed to Hilbre Island (so writes Hilda M Cooke, League of
Friends, 1976). The passage was then sealed off to prevent the soldiers using it.
After the army left, the Manor remained empty for about five years before becoming
a hospital.
West Kirby
COMMUNITY
The RAF camp, West Kirby (it was known as West Kirby as that was the nearest
railway station) which opened in 1940, operated initially as a training camp and later
became a transit camp. A chapel dedicated to St Paul was served by a padre and
set up in a hangar. Previously the Vicar of St John’s, Frankby served as chaplain.
14 Wirral on the Home Front 1939 – 45 can be bought from Lingham’s in West Kirby,
Borders Books, Cheshire Oaks, and Gould’s in Heswall.

Marie Curie walkers raise over £3,500!

MARIE Curie Cancer Care held its annual sponsored walk from Thurstaston Visitor
Centre last month. Families walked a scenic route along the Wirral Way, through
The Dales and The Dungeon raising money to support the Marie Curie nurses.
John and his family walked in memory of his father Eddie Bullen who was cared for
by Marie Curie nurses this year.
Marie Curie fundraiser Colette Byrne said: “The Thurstaston walk has really
exceeded our expectations, this year we had just over 60 walkers who raised an
amazing pledged amount of £3,500!
“The money raised makes such a difference to the patients and their families. Our
wonderful nurses simply couldn’t continue to provide the care they do without the
kindness of the people taking part in this type of event’.
For more info contact Colette on 801 1405 or colette.byrne@mariecurie.org.uk
Money raised from the Thurstaston Walk will be used to help the Marie Curie Wirral
home nursing service provide practical nursing care to people seriously ill with
cancer in the comfort of their own homes.

Q. Do I need to use a toner after I cleanse?

A. If you use a traditional oil-based cleanser
then a toner applied on cotton wool will
remove the last traces of cleanser to leave
the surface of your skin completely clean.
However, if you use a water-based
or foaming cleanser this is not strictly
necessary as the skin should be
completely clean once it has been rinsed
with tepid water.
Remember that toners won’t close pores
and they won’t deep-clean, but depending
on the formulation they can leave the face
feeling soft and refreshed.
Many advanced toner formulations are
supplied in spray form and can be sprayed onto
the face to add extra moisture before you apply

Can you imagine a world without men? No crime and lots of happy, fat women - Nicole Hollander
WHAT’S NEW
BY ELEANOR DAVIES, MANAGER OF
LINGHAM’S BOOKSTORE, WEST KIRBY
Paperback Fiction: Me Cheeta by James Lever

Longlisted for this year’s Booker Prize as ‘the wildcard’,
this is the fictional autobiography of a chimpanzee.
Sounds whacky? It is. A fantastic spoof on Hollywood
memoirs, this is the life story of Tarzan’s chimp, his
liberation from the Liberian Jungle and rise to stardom
Cheeta’s bitchy asides about his fellow actors and his
battle with drink and drugs make for hilarious reading.
Anyone who remembers the golden days of Hollywood
with affection will find this a wonderfully funny and-
surprisingly- at times quite moving book.
Autobiography: ‘My Better Half and Me’

by Joss and Rosemary Ackland
Actor Joss Ackland and his late wife Rosemary were
exceptionally lucky to have found each other, and their
incredibly close bond saw them through the ups and downs of
marriage for over fifty years. This is an account of their lifelong
love affair from both their points of view. Rosemary kept a
diary from the age of fifteen and continued it for her whole life
even after the onset of motor neurone disease which left her
mute and immobile. Interspersed with her entries is Joss’s
commentary charting all the major events of their lives including
the rise of his brilliant career and the tragic death of their oldest son. A true old
fashioned romance.
Cookery: ‘Nigella Express’ by Nigella Lawson

Newly out in paperback, this is Nigella’s latest offering and
it is a treat. Beautifully illustrated, it contains a whole range
of wonderful recipes for every day cooking for all you
domestic goddesses with little time to spare (I know you’re
out there, Heswall and West Kirby!) New ideas for healthy
eating mixed with some unashamedly comfort food all go
together to make up a great cookery book . Would make a
fantastic Christmas present.

Autumn Delights in October
Gardening by Janet Heath
Autumn is well underway and your garden will be gradually shutting down in preparation for
winter. The exuberance of summer flowers and foliage gives way to the more subtle colours of
gold, russet, barley yellow and orange from grasses and leaves.
At this time of year there are still flowers - look out for Dahlias in white red or yellow, the pink
flowers of the fleshy Sedum spectabile and some Japanese Anemones will still be flowering.
However it is the foliage from grasses that will give you delight at this time of year. The grasses
such as Stipa gigantea with its tall oat heads and Miscanthus sinensis Zebrinus has cream striped
green leaves.
Trees such as Acers have wonderful rich red foliage. There are also many varieties of Crab
Apple (Malus) such as John Downie or Golden Hornet with red or yellow small apples that stay on
the trees in autumn.
Rowans or Sorbus trees also have ornamental berries that can last on the tree for weeks
although the birds tend to eat the red berries first leaving yellow and cream berries on the tree.
In the garden you can continue to dig up and split perennials at this time of year. The roots will
continue to grow even in frosty conditions in soil that is still warm from summer below the surface.
Conifers and other evergreens can be moved at this time of year, as there is less likelihood of the
roots drying out.
Lawns can be scarified and given an autumn feed in October. It is also a good time to lay new
turf as it will be well watered in and be less likely to be walked on thus allowing it to grow on well.
Complete digging up any potatoes making sure none are left behind to harbour diseases. Apples
that are best for keeping tend to be ready for harvesting in October. An apple that is ripe is one
that can be picked when you lift it gently and it comes away easily. Pulling an apple from the tree
is an indication that it is not yet ripe.
