Letter from the Editor<br />
I am delighted to say that Pam is back on her feet, pain<br />
free and “magazining” once more.<br />
All our sympathy goes to the Southwell and<br />
Nottingham Branch on the sudden death of Margaret<br />
Ursell. I know that the Branch has lost a good friend.<br />
We are indebted to Jill Smith, a local flower grower for<br />
her contribution to the magazine, continuing our look<br />
at the subject of British grown flowers. Another subject<br />
that might stimulate thought is the proposal for a fixed<br />
date for Easter.<br />
Please don’t forget to send in your subscriptions – your<br />
Association needs you.<br />
Also if you possibly can, come to the A.G.M. in June –<br />
fill in your applications now. The details in this edition<br />
are slightly different from those published in the<br />
January edition. Please use the information in this<br />
edition for times and travel information.<br />
Remember that your contributions for the magazine are<br />
not only welcome but essential if it is to flourish, so<br />
keep them coming.<br />
Finally a question - what do you eat on Collop Monday?<br />

Greetings from Chesterfield – March <strong>2016</strong><br />
We have just returned from Northern Ireland, where we had bright<br />
sunshine and a dusting of snow. The Mountains of Mourne looked<br />
wonderful in the sunshine. We were surprised to find a Bronte<br />
trail. Rev. Patrick Bronte, father of the famous Emily, Charlotte<br />
and Anne, the sisters from Howarth in Yorkshire, was born at a<br />
small farm at the foot of the Mountains of Mourne. We visited the<br />
lovely Georgian town of Hillsborough, where the official<br />
residence of the Lord Lieutenant of Northern Ireland is situated.<br />
The town has an 18th century Court house, like the one in Lincoln.<br />
There is a fort and a beautiful church with a very tall spire. At the<br />
altar there was a pedestal of pink and white lilies that matched the<br />
small lampshades in the four rows of the choir stalls.<br />
Our reason for visiting<br />
Ireland was to see our<br />
son’s three daughters in a<br />
Pantomime in the village<br />
of Groomsport. The<br />
village Presbyterian<br />
church hall is turned into<br />
a theatre once a year for a<br />
Pantomime.<br />
At the entrance to the hall<br />
there was a lovely<br />
waterfall pedestal with a<br />
velvet drape. At the base<br />
was a small stand with a<br />
crystal slipper on it. There<br />
are some very talented<br />
Flower Arrangers over<br />
there.
Have you ever heard of the Reverend Macmillan of Northern<br />
Ireland? He was the guest Arranger at the North Midland Coral<br />
Anniversary of NAFAS. He is a delightful man, a wonderful<br />
Speaker and Flower Arranger.<br />
A couple of days before we set off for Northern Ireland, Rosie<br />
Dias, our Derby Branch Council Member, Sheila Stone, our<br />
Derby Branch Committee member, and I, visited Hopton Hall,<br />
South Derbyshire. The snowdrops and aconites were wonderful.<br />
Fifteen years ago this lovely old hall and gardens had been unused<br />
since the war. It was sold and when the woods to one side were<br />
cleared of brambles, rhododendrons and fallen trees, thousands<br />
of snowdrops and aconites popped up. It has developed into a<br />
wonderful woodland walk. On the other side of the Hall was a<br />
derelict terraced rose garden with a wonderful old brick crinkle<br />
crankle wall and dovecote. The walls were built in waves to catch<br />
the sun and lengthen the harvesting of fruit. It has all been restored<br />
and two thousand rose trees planted. The paths and steps have all<br />
been repaired and hundreds of box plants have been used to edge<br />
the rose beds. There is a lake and some lovely intimate walkways.<br />
You can hire a holiday cottage in this garden by clicking onto<br />
www.hoptonhall.co.uk.<br />
How are you getting on with recruitment? I have invited a lady<br />
from the Methodist Church to become an associate member. Do<br />
keep banging the drum. I do hope as many as possible of you will<br />
make it to Liverpool in June for our A.G.M.<br />
We have lost a long-standing hard-working member, Margaret<br />
Ursell, who arranged the beautiful pedestal at Rainhill for our 30th<br />
Anniversary. She was the council member for Notts. & Southwell<br />
for many years and a companion to Hillary Brian. RIP Dear<br />
Margaret.<br />
Ada Fawthrop,<br />
National Chairman.<br />

Southwell & Nottingham Diocese<br />
Saturday 27th February saw our first Diocesan<br />
Meeting/Workshop of <strong>2016</strong> held at St. Timothy’s, Daybrook.<br />
Before the meeting commenced we held a one minute silence to<br />
remember our dear, dear friend, Margaret Ursell.<br />
Peter Turner demonstrated swags for Easter – Hillary Brian<br />
demonstrated a modern style cross design and Janet Webster<br />
showed us how to make stones of various sizes made with<br />
newspaper screwed up into the size you require and explained<br />
how to get the finish you want. She then created a Spring<br />
Landscape design using some of the stones she had made earlier.<br />
They looked super and you could not tell the difference, so I am<br />
certainly going to have a go. It will save carrying the real stones<br />
to demo’s and flower festivals. We had about 25 members in the<br />
morning for the meeting and around 20 for the afternoon – all of<br />
them going home with a swag with a difference.<br />

Obituary<br />
Margaret Ursell<br />
Margaret passed away very<br />
suddenly on the 17th February<br />
after a wonderful day out with her<br />
friends. She joined CEFAA in the<br />
mid eighties and was a very loyal<br />
member, serving as Vice Chair,<br />
Chair, and then Council Member of<br />
the Southwell & Nottingham<br />
branch – a position she held for<br />
nine years. She was a member of<br />
St. Leodegarious, Basford,<br />
Nottingham, for many years where<br />
she was in charge of flowers. When<br />
I became National Chair, Margaret<br />
gave me so much support and then<br />
from 2003 – 2012 she travelled the<br />
length and breadth of the country<br />
with me, enjoying meeting our<br />
fellow members.<br />
If Margaret took on any activity<br />
she gave it 100% plus – her<br />
membership of the Nottingham<br />
Flower Club, Trefoil Guild (for retired Guiders), her calligraphy, her<br />
help at flower festivals and people still remember the beautiful all blue<br />
pedestal she did on behalf of the St. Albans Branch, depicting, of<br />
course, St. Alban at our Rainhill Festival in 2011.Margaret will be sadly<br />
missed by all her friends in the Southwell and Nottingham Diocese and<br />
those of you who remember her nationally.<br />
Hillary Brian,<br />
Council Member.<br />
Margaret’s Funeral was held on 17th March at St. Leodegarious, prior to<br />
cremation at Bramcote Crematorium.<br />
Hillary was asked to do a tribute on behalf of CEFAA.<br />

Fixing the Date of Easter<br />
Easter Day is the first Sunday following the full moon that occurs<br />
on or after the Spring equinox. This was decided in the first<br />
Church council in 325. In 664 the Synod of Whitby was held<br />
when the different ways of deciding the date of Easter was<br />
discussed by the Celtic Church of Northern Britain and the<br />
Roman Church of Canterbury.<br />
It was decided that the Roman Church would prevail with the<br />
method of deciding the date of Easter and the Celtic Church<br />
retreated.<br />
In 1928 Parliament passed the Easter Act which was never put<br />
into practice.<br />
In 1990 a Vatican proposal failed when other churches could not<br />
agree. Now Eastern Orthodox, Coptic, Anglican and Catholic are<br />
in discussion about fixing the date of Easter to the second or third<br />
Sunday in <strong>Apr</strong>il.<br />
In the argument for a fixed date, it is a fact that Saints Days and<br />
other Festivals have been moved to weekends and bank holidays<br />
and that people are irritated about school terms and holidays<br />
moving about the calendar.<br />
Against is the argument that this would break the connection<br />
between the Jewish Passover and the events of Good Friday and<br />
Easter. It would also break the last link with the lunar calendar.<br />
In Whitby, the opposition comes from those who are concerned<br />
about the tourists and pilgrims who visit the site of the Synod of<br />
Whitby. Finally it is a break with one thousand years of History.<br />

St. Oswald’s Church, Ashbourne<br />
Christmas Tree Festival<br />
The Festival was open from December 12th to January<br />
5th and raised £700 towards Church projects. There<br />
were 8 foot by 6 foot and 20 foot by 4 foot Nordman<br />
Fir trees decorated by different youth and adult<br />
organisations and schools in the town. C.E.F.A.A.<br />
members decorated a tree in green and gold placed next<br />
to the Branch banner. Flower arrangements by the<br />
church flower arrangers were also around the church<br />
together with trees decorated by the Church’s own<br />
organisations. The church looks upon this as a<br />
community project to encourage people to come into<br />
the church.<br />
Please note that when members do an arrangement<br />
which advertises C.E.F.A.A. so clearly, Naomi is<br />
empowered to give a donation towards the cost.<br />

British Cut Flowers – a growing industry<br />
By Jill Smith at Binnington Blooms<br />
I was inspired to start growing flowers for cutting after hearing about<br />
‘Flowers From The Farm’. Flowers From the Farm is an organisation<br />
to encourage and bring together British flower growers to share ideas<br />
on growing, cutting and marketing cut flowers. It was set up by Gill<br />
Hodgson, who grows flowers near York and came from her passion for<br />
bringing back locally grown country garden flowers to the market place.<br />
After five years there are now over 200 members from Cornwall to<br />
Scotland. At a recent Flower weekend in Harrogate for members from<br />
the north, attended by Jonathan Moseley, the international flower<br />
arranger and judge on “The Great Allotment Challenge”, who<br />
commented “I can feel the energy in the room”. The enthusiasm<br />
amongst members for their love of flowers is infectious and our<br />
principle ambition is to share those flowers with everybody by making<br />
them available to purchase in a sustainable and top quality way.<br />
12
As a result you can now buy ‘locally produced flowers’ in just the same<br />
way as we choose to buy ‘local food’. It is possible to buy sustainably<br />
grown flowers with no air<br />
miles attached and probably<br />
very little use of chemicals in<br />
their production. Our flowers<br />
are seasonal which means they<br />
are stronger and healthier,<br />
grown in their natural<br />
environment. It has also<br />
created a much wider choice of<br />
flowers than we have ever had<br />
before, with the added bonus<br />
that so many of them have a<br />
wonderful scent.<br />
I started my business<br />
‘Binnington Blooms’ on our<br />
dairy farm, near Scarborough,<br />
in 2012, having always been a<br />
keen gardener and with my upbringing in the flower industry, it seemed<br />
like a relatively straightforward undertaking. Nearly four years on, I<br />
would say it is by far the most enjoyable job I have ever done but also<br />
the one which has involved the most amount of hard work I have ever<br />
known! I started by using a large well established border in the garden,<br />
out went the groundcover plants and anything that didn’t produce a<br />
flower tall enough to pick. That first summer, flowers were picked and<br />
lined up in jars in the house to see their ‘lasting potential in water’, again<br />
if it didn’t last it would not be grown.<br />
By year two I had persuaded my husband to allow me to have a strip of<br />
field, facing south with a nice thick hedge protecting from the north.<br />
Better still it had been part of the calving paddock, so the soil was fertile<br />
and rich. Very soon I realised I also had to ask him to fence it as the<br />
local rabbit and hare population thought my plants rather tasty.<br />
13
Growing in North Yorkshire<br />
means I can only<br />
realistically grow flowers to<br />
cut from late March to<br />
October. More southerly<br />
parts of the country produce<br />
flowers over the winter<br />
months, most notably the<br />
gloriously scented narcissus<br />
and daffodils from the Scilly<br />
Isles, available throughout<br />
January and February.<br />
The flowers I grow range from bulbs, annuals, biennials to perennials.<br />
The picking year starts with the bulbs, daffodils first, I love to mix the<br />
varieties together so they are not all plain yellow. Anemones, ranunculus<br />
and tulips follow on, wonderful blowsy double tulips open like peonies<br />
and last for ages. The bulbs are soon joined by biennials – hesperis or<br />
sweet rocket has a lovely airy appearance and grows tall, honesty,<br />
wallflower and sweet william, the old fashioned flower that everyone<br />
delights in seeing again. The bulbs are completed with bluebells and the<br />
majestic alliums.<br />
From late May through June the perennials shine – aquilegia,<br />
campanula, peonies, delphiniums, many kinds of daisy, phlox, veronica,<br />
salvia, and the wonderful acid green of alchemilla mollis, but the list is<br />
endless.<br />
As we move into full summer along come the annuals – cornflower,<br />
nigella, cosmos, scabious, antirrhinums etc. etc. Ammi major is a great<br />
alternative to gypsophila, not unlike cow parsley but without the smell,<br />
very popular for weddings. To this heady mix we add the dahlias and<br />
the colour rainbow is full until at least mid October but sparing a frost,<br />
it can be much later.<br />
14
Cutting the flowers has become the most important skill, the one which<br />
ensures the quality of the flower, followed by careful conditioning to<br />
maintain the time the flowers will last in water. Cutting takes place in<br />
the early morning or early evening, cutting the flower just as it opens is<br />
ideal and when you are working amongst your flowers all the time you<br />
get to know that stage. Bad weather only spoils the flowers which are<br />
already open and they are not the ones we are looking for.<br />
The British cut flower industry is blossoming, seek out a grower near<br />
you (find them on the Flowers From The Farm website or at your<br />
nearest Farmers Market), ask for British flowers at your local florist,<br />
try them out in church arrangements, treat yourself to a jug full on the<br />
kitchen table.<br />
Most of all enjoy them, they are grown for your enjoyment.<br />

A Seasonal Look<br />
An early Easter means that it will all be over before you<br />
receive your magazine but as the most important season of<br />
the churches year, it is perhaps with a retrospective look.<br />
In Mediaeval times churches were decorated with box, yew,<br />
hazel, willow and wild daffodils. Flowers were carried in<br />
procession and the floors were strewn with scented herbs<br />
and rushes. All this ended during the Cromwellian era, so<br />
from the sixteenth to the mid-nineteenth century no flowers<br />
were allowed in churches or grave yards. For funerals,<br />
mourners carried sprigs of rosemary or rue. There is,<br />
however, some evidence that people placed flowers inside<br />
coffins where they could not be seen. Queen Victoria made<br />
flowers acceptable once more.<br />
Even though Palm Sunday is now well in the past it could<br />
be interesting to look at the British version of the palms<br />
waved as Jesus entered Jerusalem for the last time. In the<br />
eighth century willow leaves were waved during church<br />
processions and by Tudor times the blessing of willow had<br />
been widespread. The fluffy silky flowers of willow were<br />
called pussy willow because they reminded people of kitten<br />
paws. The tassel-like flowers of birch and willow looked<br />
like kittens’ tails and came to be known as catkins – in Tudor<br />
times this was the name for a kitten.<br />
Although May gives us no “red letter” days in the church<br />
calendar it has always been a month for celebration.<br />
17
Even the church in Medieval times supported the practice<br />
of gathering leaves and flowers to decorate homes, “going<br />
a-maying” on May Eve. The Puritans forbade it but maying<br />
returned with Charles 11 and carried on until the 19th<br />
Century in spite of warnings about the moral danger of<br />
being out in the woods at night. Birch, rowan and especially<br />
the flower of the hawthorn are all associated with May<br />
festivals.<br />
Just before dawn on May Day women rushed to wash their<br />
faces in dew, thought to be good for the complexion. It was<br />
supposed to be effected and gathered from leaves of oak,<br />
ivy or hawthorn.<br />
Cheaper than Olay certainly!<br />
Rhubarb and Ginger Fool<br />
The rhubarb season is well advanced<br />
1lb rhubarb<br />
Half a pint of thick custard<br />
2 oz preserved or powdered ginger<br />
Stew the fruit in very little water, sweeten to taste.<br />
Add a pinch of bi-carb. Sieve.<br />
Mix with the custard and add the ginger, save a little for<br />
decoration.<br />
Pour into sundae glasses, decorate with ginger and chill.<br />

A note from Pam who types the Magazine:-<br />
A big thank you from Pam Stanger<br />
After coming home from Bridlington Hospital recently, having had my<br />
second complete hip replacement, I received a lovely arrangement of<br />
flowers from CEFAA. by courtesy of Ruth, our Magazine Editor. I<br />
would like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to you all –<br />
the flowers really cheered me up.<br />
Finally a quotation from an old book I found, with apologies to the<br />
London Branch, nothing personal, far from it in fact.<br />
“I am just going to pray for you at St. Paul’s but with no very lively<br />
hope of success.”<br />
Rev. Sydney Smith<br />
On Collop Monday, the day before Shrove Tuesday you would<br />
eat a collop. It is a thick slice of bacon with a fried egg on top.<br />
