Continued on page 3 Rodney Mansbridge was born in the New Forest while the D-Day landings were taking place in Normandy, on 6th June 1944. He decided to celebrate his 80th birthday climbing the 978m Scafell Pike, in the Lake District, as a tribute to those who fought for our freedom and raising money for Armed Forces charity Help for Heroes and the University of Southampton’s Gi of Sight Appeal, as he su ers from poor eyesight. Rodney said: “On the day I was born, the whole of the New Forest was locked down because of D-Day; full of tanks, troops, and other ordnance. I was delivered by a lady who had been a nurse in the First World War; she wasn’t a qualified midwife. My mother always said: ‘It was a terribly noisy time – and you’ve been noisy ever since’. Everything was parked in the New Forest, under every tree; there were holes along some of the roads where they’d dug in the tanks, and they’re like little rectangular ponds now. But when I was growing up in the New Forest, if a bird wasn’t singing, you could hear a pin drop. It’s a lot different now, of course.” Rodney has no direct military connection. He spent Rodney Mansbridge

Yet he has personal reasons for supporting both charities. He said: “I’m blind in one eye and the other one doesn’t work very well, so I know the team at the Gift of Sight; I’ve collected money for them previously. I chose Help for Heroes because I did the climb on the anniversary of D-Day. Being born on D-Day I’ve always been interested in the history of the war and the Normandy Landings in particular, especially the bravery of the men who took part. I’ve felt this for a long time. You hear these terrible stories about people losing limbs in recent conflicts; the story of Simon Weston in the Falklands war; these things have always stuck in my mind and I don’t think the country does enough for people who served and made sacrifices for the country. They can have physical or psychological injuries, all in the defence of our country. We should support them more financially and do more for them in their recovery.” At the time of print Rodney had raised over £2,500 which will be split equally between the two charities.

Six of the veterans have physical ey cycled via Bournemouth and Christchurch and into the New Forest, to reach the RAF Memorial at Beaulieu for another short wreath-laying ceremony. e cyclists then rode into Hythe to take the Hythe Ferry across to Southampton heading for HMS Collingwood naval base (near Fareham) where they were met with a rousing reception from veterans and serving naval personnel. e nal leg took the team via Havant onto Hayling Island, which was vital in the development of skills and equipment ahead of D-Day and was where the Allies practised their amphibious landings in the weeks before the Normandy o ensive. Against this historic backdrop the cyclists crossed the nish line to the applause of the crowds gathered there for the Hayling Island D-Day events, sunset ceremony and lighting of the beacon. e group trained for months prior to their epic cycle ride, supported by e Not Forgotten charity, representatives of the UK military and cycling professionals from e Parts Guys Ltd.

It took 7000 tons of gravel to be excavated, transported and placed in the damaged area in order to make it accessible to the public. Had this mammoth task not been done it would have been so sad for Cecil D-Day, a large crowd gathered at Lepe Country Park to watch the D-Day 80 Beacon Lighting ceremony. Fortunately it was a warm clear evening with good visibility. e lighting took place on the cli top in the park at sunset (21:15) and the beacons in distant Portsmouth and on the Isle of Wight were just visible from the Lepe Country Park. Four short, excellent and informative speeches were given prior to the lighting of the Beacon, the rst by Lady Mary Montagu Scott of Beaulieu, followed by Councillor Nick King-Adams from Hampshire County Council, then Alan Alvey for Fawley Parish Council and lastly by Aldred Drummond of the Cadland Estate. None of the speakers repeated information any of the previous speakers had said! Councillor Nick King-Adams lit the Beacon. Earlier the sh and chip supper had taken place in ‘ e Lookout’, with every table booked in advance. (Fish and Chips were the only foods that Sir Winston Churchill did NOT ration during WW2). e whole evening was a truly happy and memorable event. Saturday 8th June was Family Day which was very well attended. is took place on the cli top at Lepe Country Park. ere were WW2 military vehicles on display, plus the D-Day Discovery Bus which had been visiting various venues around the New Forest throughout the week. It was teaching children (and adults) about the preparations for D-Day that took place throughout Hampshire, had short videos and fascinating oral histories recorded by local residents. Local groups had stands representing the various activities available around the Waterside area. e Jingle ladies sang ‘Hits from the Blitz’ and the New Forest Brass Band played to entertain the visitors. e Friends of Lepe kept the children entertained, with a mix of activities, some of them making paper gas masks and the D-Day Lepe Heritage Exhibition, which was open all week, located in Lepe Education Centre, was inundated with interested and very appreciative visitors. e day was a great success and our wishes for NO RAIN were granted, which made such a di erence! Later an unexpected but wonderful bonus was seen in the skies above as the Red Arrows ew over on their way back to Bournemouth airport. Sunday 9th June was the culmination of a truly memorable week. At 11:00hrs the o cial memorial service took place on the cli top at Lepe Country Park, at the memorial anchor. It commenced with an excellent banner parade from the Royal British Legion, with all the banner bearers looking very smart in their uniforms. is was followed by the Hampshire Caledonian Pipe Band looking wonderful in their kilts and the evocative sound of the bagpipes Newton, a 100-year-old veteran, who had le with the embarkation to Normandy from this beach. Every year he has returned to remember his fallen comrades in a private ceremony at the memorial, then, a er taking a cup of sand from the beach, travelled to Sword Beach in Normandy where he had landed on 6th June 1944, to pour the sand onto the French beach. is year the names were read out by Major Graeme Green (retired) of the 4/7th Royal Dragoon Guards and wreaths were placed round the memorial, the last post played and 2 minutes silence observed. e considerable crowd who had made the e ort to walk down to the memorial were all delighted to see Cecil, warmly wrapped up in his wheelchair, accompanied by several members of his family. He was in France for the memorial services on 6th June. Before embarkation in May/June 1944 Cecil was billeted in Fawley Wood and the Corporal tank he served in as a gunner operator was loaded from the ‘hards’ at Stanswood Bay. On Wednesday 5th June part of the overall D-Day 80 celebration was the inauguration of the beautiful new D-Day 80 commemorative bench at Langley. A er 40 years of good service, the original Langley Bench finally became unsafe and needed to be replaced. Fortuitously the replacement was due on the 80th D-Day anniversary. Parish Councillor Lauren O’Halloran found a beautiful D-Day bench as a replacement.

A poll of 2,000 adults carried out by Care UK, which operates Carpathia Grange, on Southampton Road, found almost two-thirds (65%) of the nation no longer use family recipes that have been handed down through the generations. However, 43% of people surveyed are keen to save them. In a bid to prevent family recipes passed down through generations from being lost forever, Care UK has launched a free downloadable recipe book – Recipes to Remember, which features recipes shared by care home residents across the UK. From food enjoyed during World War Two to quirky desserts from the 1970s, the book includes residents’ favourite foods, alongside recipes tailored to support older people by Care UK’s award-winning chefs. Keen to keep their recipes bubbling away in Hythe for many years to come, residents from Carpathia Grange rolled up their sleeves and donned their aprons, teaming up with pupils from Hythe Primary School to show just how tasty their food favourites from the past are. Together, the two generations baked and decorated cakes that served as a nostalgic throwback to the residents’ own childhoods. Resident Vaughan Baker, 99, said: “I had a wonderful time with the pupils and it was such a fun morning.” Moira Wilde, 87, added: “I really enjoyed explaining the joys of baking to the children and teaching them how to decorate cakes.” Pooja Dhoot, Home Manager at Carpathia Grange, believes family recipes can be a powerful tool for reawakening positive memories. She said: “Spring is in the air – and so too are the smells of some incredibly tasty home-baked recipes adored by residents and their families for generations. Just like a photograph, a family recipe can be a way to revisit the past and reminisce on a cherished memory or loved one. How something tastes or smells can be a powerful tool for triggering memories and positive feelings, especially for those living with dementia, which is why we’re delighted to be taking part in Care UK’s Recipes to remember campaign. It’s been wonderful seeing the residents revisit some of their favourite foods from across the decades with pupils from Hythe Primary School. It’s clear from how well the resident’s recipes were enjoyed that there’s still a hunger for foods from the past today – so donut give up on them!” To nd out more about Care UK’s Recipes to remember initiative or to download your copy of the recipe book, please visit: careuk.com/recipes-to-remember Carpathia Grange is a three-storey care home which provides residential, dementia and nursing care. e home features 62 en-suite bedrooms and has been designed to enable its residents to live active and ful lled lives, while also promoting independence. e care home incorporates space for hobby and leisure activities and includes its own cinema, hair salon and café.
