Diary of a Gardener… Top Tips!There is a theory that to prevent Blackspot on roses, there is a home remedy you mayhave in your kitchen store cupboard.
•Try sprinkling one handful of cornmeal around each rose plant once a month duringthe growing season.• Lightly fork in and water. Cornmeal is available from larger supermarkets.
This is said to work because a beneficial fungus grows on the cornmeal round the rootsof the plant, and this in turn inhibits Blackspot which is also a fungus.If any Blackspot does appear pick off affected leaves and dispose of them. Not on yourcompost heap as this just spreads the fungal spores.
In the rest of the garden weeds will be growing fast now, if left unchecked. Once youhave removed them by forking out by hand it is a good idea on a dry day to regularlyhoe between your plants. This not only destroys seedling weeds and prevents weedseedlings from growing but it helps to keep in moisture too. Annual weeds can be puton your compost heap but perennial weeds like Couch Grass may re-grow so are betterplaced in the council bin.
If you’d like any other tips from the village garden experts, please let us know!

Book Club Minutes provided by Ena Fish (April’s Minutes)
Ruth and Jenny presented St Hybalds Academy with a cheque for £100 from the book club, themoney will help to buy books for the reading scheme. As usual opinions were varied when dis-cussing books.
The Cornish House by Liz Fenwick.On-line this has been described as “a sweeping, romantic debut set in Cornwall, reminiscent ofRosamindPilcher. I’m not sure that Hibaldstow Book Club would agree. One member describedit as a ‘posh Mills and Boon’, another said that the house was more interesting than the people.Maddie inherits a house in Cornwall shortly after her husband’s death where she hopes it I’ll be afresh start for herself and her step-daughter. The house is beautiful but neglected. Maddie dis-covers the stories of the women who have lived there previously. The relationship between Mad-die and her step-daughter, Hannah, is somewhat fraught and Maddie’s dream of a calm life is farfrom reality. Some comments made were ‘very enjoyable’, ‘not taxing’ and ‘not good’. Thosewho read the book scored mainly 6 or 7 out of 10. One reader gave it a 2.
The Diary of a Bookseller by Shaun BythellAs the title suggests the book is the diary of a bookseller. A book club member is a frequent visi-tor to Wigtown in southwest Scotland where Shaun has his bookshop. She was looking forwardto to reading the book which she said did not disappoint. She and her husband have spent manya happy hour in Shaun’s bookshop, she in The Garden Room, he in The Transport Room. Thecat is often snoozing on the sofa by the fire. Shaun is often reading a book cocooned in the frontcorner of the shop. Out and about L and S have experienced the grumpy Post Office Man. Read-ing the book made our reader realise just how much Shaun is involved in the planning and run-ning the annual Book Festival. The everyday toils of owning and running a bookshop in a smalltown full of other bookshops, the competition from Amazon, and the eccentricities of the variedcustomers were told in an entertaining way and with a dry wit. Even though some of the bookcould seem a little repetitive L thought this added to its enjoyment. It certainly gave an insightinto the vagaries of running an independent bookshop.Although one person said the book was boring most members gave the book a score of 8 to 10out of 10 and said it was enjoyable and interesting. It never ceases to amaze me how opinionsdiffer about a book. It is not like Marmite which people love or hate; with a book it can be loveor hate with everything else in between. There is no accounting for taste.
Books for Thursday 7th June: How To Stop Time by Matt Haig & Eleanor Oliphant Is Abso-lutely Fine by Gail Honeyman
Books for Thursday 2nd August: The Scapegoat by Daphne Du Maurier & The Last Day byClaire Dyer
Meetings are held in Hibaldstow Church Hall at 7.30pm. Everyone welcome.

We have loads of events coming up this year including the BPA Uk wing suitnational championships 13-15 July, which will see wingsuiters from aroundthe world come to compete. The 4 way nationals across bank holidayweekend with a brand new format as it will start on the Friday morning andrun until completed or the Monday evening, whichever is the sooner.

On 3rd April Kathleen Devai, a photographer, who specialises in capturing the essence ofSteampunk, began a talk which morphed into a very interesting open forum. She gave us aresume of her photography career – someone gave her a camera 7 years ago, she took photosin automatic mode for 2 years while she saved for a Nikon. Her favourite lens is a ‘fish eye’.She says there are no rules of photography – do your own thing. If she isn’t happy with aphotograph Kathleen will discard it. It has no second chance! Kathleen was invited to join theexclusive Ansel Adams Club which she says has only 276 members world wide. To be invitedyou have to take photographs in his style. She had to ask a friend who he was! He was anAmerican photographer and environmentalist who took black-and-white photographs of theAmerican West. The advice Kathleen gave us was to look up. You can see chimneys, stonecarvings, tree branches, clouds, and a multitude of other things. She said she is essentially apeople watcher. In her business she told us that she has met some lovely people, andHibaldstow WI are pleased to note that she thought our group were lovely too.At the meeting on 1st May, Angela Smith told us about her day, also attended by Jean Smithand Pam White, at the Annual Federation Day at the UTC in Scunthorpe. They had a veryinteresting time,the highlight being a performance by the Waddington Military Wives Choir.Apparently all the Military Wives Choirs learn the same repertoire of about 70 songs so thatwhen they move to another camp or base they can join in easily. Following this we had a livelydiscussion regarding the resolution concerning Mental Health, coming to the conclusion thatthere are no easy answers. With background work done by husband Alan,Angela provided uswith a sheet of ‘Dingbats’ to work out – which is easy if you know the answers! Once again itwas a very enjoyable evening.The next meeting is on Tuesday, 5th June at 7.30pm in Hibaldstow Church Hall when SarahTipler will be talking about encouraging children to read. The following meeting will be onTuesday, 3rd July.Come and join us. New members will be very welcome.

June 2018 Articleby Reverend David Eames
July 2018 Services
On 22nd June, the Church of England commemorates St Alban, known as the firstmartyr of Britain. Alban has a tenuous connection with us as the Duke of St Albans isone of the Patrons of our group of parishes.
Little is known for sure about Alban, even his date of death has been variously given asaround either 209, 251, or 304 AD. But the story of his martyrdom varies less, with thefullest account given in Bede's . Alban lived in Verulamium (now StAlbans) and was possibly a Roman soldier and might have been a leading citizen of thecity but he was not a Christian. He. At that time the small but increasing Christiancommunity began to be persecuted by the Roman authorities and one day a Christianpriest, who was fleeing for his life, came to Alban's house seeking refuge. Over the fewdays that the priest was in his house, Alban, impressed by the priest's faith anddevotion, converted to Christianity. Eventually the authorities came to Alban's house tosearch for the priest, Alban put on the priest's clothes and handed himself over to thesoldiers.
Alban was brought before a judge and despite being threatened, whipped and tortured,he refused to make sacrifices to the Roman gods or deny his faith so he was sentencedto be beheaded. Bede records some miracles that occurred: firstly, Alban stopped ariver so that they could cross it, and he caused a fountain of water to flow near wherehe was beheaded. Seeing the first miracle the executioner was converted and thenbeheaded too, and the man who replaced him, after striking the fatal blow, becameblind. St Alban's Cathedral stands on the believed site of the execution.
Alban's actions are echoed in the actions of the French police officer, Arnaud Beltrame,who on 23rd March this year offered himself in exchange for the hostages in an Islamicterrorist attack in Trèbes, and died the next day. Beltrame's heroism was motivated bythe Christian faith to which he had been converted ten years ago. Fr Dominique Arz,national chaplain of the gendarmerie, said “The fact is that he did not hide his faith,and that he radiated it, he bore witness to it. We can say that his act of self-offering isconsistent with what he believed. He...bore witness to his faith to the very end.”
Despite the common accusation that religion causes more violence in the world, no-where in the New Testament are Christians encouraged to kill in order to spread thefaith. In fact the opposite is true. Jesus said ‘Whoever wants to be my disciple mustdeny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to savetheir life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it” (Matthew 16:24-25).John wrote “This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us.And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters” (1 John 3:16). TheChristian faith is something worth living for and something worth dying for becausedeath for those who believe in Jesus means resurrection to eternal life.

HIBALDSTOW ASTRONOMICALSOCIETYOur April meeting saw our chairman, Tony, give a talk about the HubbleDeep Field Project. The amazing images showed just how big ouruniverse truly is. We also had another clear night on our observingsession last month.
Our meeting on the 23rd May will be the AGM followed by a short talk.
The June meeting on the 27th will feature a talk on the Cassini spacemission to Saturn by Lee Twigger.
As summer approaches the nights get shorter but our observing sessions continue. But no need to stayup late as we will be observing the Sun using our special solar telescope. This is the only safe way todirectly look at the Sun as these telescopes have special filters to stop the harmful rays & heat gettingthrough. Its very important to never look at the Sun unless you know what you are doing as even veryshort looks can cause immediate damage to your eyes
We meet in the Church Hall on Church St, doors open from 7.15pm ( admission £3 for non members)& all are welcome.
For more information contact Tony on 01652 659839 or [email protected]
