The Three Choirs Festival Chorus, Three CathedralChoirs of Gloucester, Worcester and Hereford andresident orchestra the Philharmonia are at the heartof the event, performing in various permutationseach evening in Gloucester Cathedral.
The Three Choirs Festival’s 300-year-old heritage iscelebrated in performances of works by Englishcomposers closely associated with the festival andin particular with Gloucestershire, including Parry –whose original version of ‘Jerusalem’ with the firstverse set for solo soprano opens the first eveningcathedral concert. Vaughan Williams, born in DownAmpney near Cirencester, is the focus of theevening concert on 26 July, conducted by GeraintBowen, Artistic Director of Hereford Three ChoirsFestival. It includes perhaps the most famous Three
Choirs Festival commission, his Fantasia on aTheme by Thomas Tallis, premiered in GloucesterCathedral in 1910, and The Lark Ascending withPhilharmonia leader Zsolt-Tihamér Visontay assoloist. This concert also includes Dona Nobis
Pacem, written by Vaughan Williams in 1936 as areminder of the horrors of war at a time when thestorm-clouds were gathering once more over Eu-rope, and A Shropshire Lad by George Butterworth,who died on the Somme in 1916.
Choral Evensong is sung in the cathedral most daysand on 25 July it is entirely devoted to the music ofHowells.
The Three Choirs Festival Youth Choir was launchedat the Gloucester festival in 2010 and has been ex-panding its repertoire ever since. This year it tacklesRossini’s sparkling Petite Messe solenelle (29 July).
The festival programme features family-friendly andparticipatory events such as a ‘Family Come andSing’ led by Nia Llewelyn Jones of GloucesterCathedral’s music staff (24 July) and an entertainingintroduction to classical chamber music for childrenaged five-12, presented by the Carducci Quartet (30July), both in St Mary de Lode Church.
In Shakespeare’s 400th anniversary year the all-male Festival Players present two performances ofHamlet in the Old Bishop’s Palace Garden (26 & 27July; NB this is a change to the previously publisheddates).

Fostering is all about families, and about finding theright families to give vulnerable youngsters long termcare and support in a loving home to enable them toreach their potential.
Red Kite Fostering was set up in 2011 in the heartof rural Herefordshire and is an independent familyrun fostering agency with an impressive track recordof successful placements behind them.
Each family is allocated a Supervising Social Workerwho is there, alongside the highly motivated multi-disciplinary team, to provide all the training and sup-port foster carers may need. They are there to helpyou, guide you and sing your praises as a childthrives in your care.
They are always on hand, or at the end of a phone,24 hours a day to help with any of the day to day is-sues or emergencies that may crop up. This level ofsupport means that Red Kite’s foster carers are ableto relax and deliver the help their foster childrenneed with confidence, resulting in happier and moresecure outcomes for the children.
Tony Collier told us proudly, “Our 'Team around theFamily' way of working provides a loving, safe, sta-
ble and nurturing home promoting a sense of well-being and happiness. The fundamental principle be-hind our work at Red Kite Fostering is that byworking together we can facilitate real, lastingchange in the children and young people entrustedto our care.”
It is good to know that a team like Red Kite are thereto help, but the need for extra foster carers is verygreat and Tony would welcome the opportunity foran informal chat about what is involved if you haveever wondered about what it takes to become a fos-ter carer.
As Tony said, just as children come in all shapesand sizes, so do foster families, there is no one idealshape of foster parent, common sense and a senseof humour are key, and as long as you have a will-ingness to learn and a keen desire to help children then Red Kite can provide the rest.

Ingredients
MethodFirstly start by lining the terrine mould with clingfilm as smoothly as possible. Next, line the mouldwith the Parma ham. To do this, start from the bot-tom centre and lay the slices of Parma ham sothey are draping over the edges of the mould eachside.
Heat up a frying pan on the stove and add a splashof oil. Remove the skin from the pigeon breasts (ifneeds be) and sear the breasts for 1 minute eachside. We want the pigeon to be slightly pink whenwe cut into the terrine, if you would like it cookedthrough fry for about 2 minutes each side. Oncecooked, remove from the pan and leave to rest on acloth or a couple of pieces of kitchen roll, this willstop the juices from running into the terrine and making it look scruffy.
Pick all the meat off the smoked chicken includingall the leg and thigh meat, this is a great job to letthe kids do or in my case the commis chefs!
Using your hands shred the chicken meat into smallpieces/strips, don’t worry about being neat.
Add the shallots, the crushed garlic, the tarragonand a good pinch of salt and pepper and mix in well.
Finally add the softened butter and mix togetherwell.
Using the back of a spoon, start to firmly press thechicken mix into the terrine. You really do have topress down hard making sure the chicken is com-pressed very tightly. Failing to press the mix in tightlyenough will cause your terrine to fall apart whensliced. Fill the terrine to just under half way up. Makea groove in the middle of the meat with the back ofthe spoon for the pigeon breast to sit. Square theends of each breast so they sit flush next to eachother. Lay the breasts across the length of the terrineand push slightly into the meat. Finally top with therest of the meat remembering to compress into themould as tightly as you can.
Fold the draped Parma ham over the top of the ter-rine and the cling film on top of that and leave to setin the fridge for 24 hours.
Remove, slice and serve with some crusty breadand some pickles for an impressive rustic starter

The Fair is now in its 38th year and promises a greatfamily day out. This year, alongside Camel Racing,there will be the usual country fair favourites: terrierracing, working gun dogs, inter hunt relay, scurryracing, clay pigeon shooting,fly fishing and a paradeof foxhounds. With over 100 trade stands, the shop-ping marquee and the fabulous food hall, the fair of-fers a great shopping experience.
THE HISTORY OF THE FAIR
The origins of the country fair go back nearly 30years, with the very first show being held on thebanks of the Wye, at Aramstone, Kings Caple, cour-tesy of Mr John Williams. John was chairman of theBritish Field Sports Society, which benefited fromany profits generated in those early years.
The Fair is now a company limited by guarantee andthe ethos of the fair, although still deeply rooted infield sports, has grown to include many other facetsof country life, becoming a show case for locally pro-duced foods, crafts and business.
In 2013 the Country Fair elected to put surplus in-come into the Herefordshire Community Founda-tion, which is a Government-sponsored fund thatdistributes money to charitable causes in the county.
Over the years money has been given to variouscharities in Herefordshire.
None of the committee members draws a salary, oreven expenses. So all gate money and sponsorshipwill go to ensuring the Fair is able to add to their fundeach year.

Some people may be superstitious but Friday 13thMay was a very lucky day for Smiths Auction Roomsas they held their most successful antiques and collectables sale so far this year - making a grosstotal of over £62,000.
The sale had a special section for silver and jew-ellery which featured a very fine line up of ‘treasures’including a stunning three stone diamond ring ofgood colour and clarity which sold for £4000 to alocal private buyer. News obviously travels fast ason the following Monday morning an almost identicalring was brought in for sale in the June 10th auction– so if you missed out last time now is your secondchance.
Centre of attention in the furniture sectionwas a late 17th century oyster walnut veneered chest of drawers which attracteda surprising amount of interest consideringsome very obvious restoration work and re-pairs. Oyster walnut veneer was made bysawing up cross sections of small branchesor roots and then patching them together -which gives a beautifully figured grain butwas very time consuming and costly. Thistype of work was really only in fashion inthe very last part of the 17th century andsince walnut is not the most stable ordurable of woods it rarely comes under thehammer these days. Coming with a con-signment of other fine furniture the sale attracted a number of high end furniturebuyers and by the end of viewing five tele-phone lines had been booked on this itemalone. After the predictable drawn out battlewith online and telephone bidding it wasunusually a bidder in the room from theCotswolds who won the day with a final bidof £3,200. He later complained that he hadnot wanted to pay nearly so much moneyfor his prize - but otherwise seemed verypleased.

A pair of very unusual Art Decocopper wine coolers attracted
huge interest because they werestamped ‘SS Boston’, ‘White Star
Line’. In need of a good clean thecoolers featured four bottle holders
around a central lidded section for theice. Both stylish and historically interesting
they immediately appealed to a number of buy-ers but in the end it was a long battle on the tele-
phone between just two determined dealers whichsaw them make an incredible £1,550.
Small collectables were also in plentiful supplythroughout this very buoyant sale and attractedsome very strong bidding from local and internet bid-ders. Examples include a rather cute miniature mon-key made by Schuco which opened up to reveal atiny powder compact and mirror hidden in his tummy.These monkeys usually contain a miniature scentbottle and the powder compacts are more unusual– complete with it’s original powder puff it sold onlinefor £220. Another interesting collectable was an 18thcentury ‘shagreen’ or shark’s skin covered tobaccobox – mounted in silver with a decorative scrollworkhinge, the box was in excellent condition and onceagain sold online for £220 online.
Smiths next sale is on the 10th June and has a fullselection of antiques and collectables as well as aspecial section for clocks and watches. Viewing ison the Thursday prior 10am-7pm and the fullyillustrated catalogue is online at:

Ideal for our rural county !
I recently drove the Honda HR-V around Hereford-shire & Shropshire and what an ideal vehicle it is forour roads !
The HR-V is an attractive, smaller SUV or soft-roader – it has a sleek and pleasing shape, from thecurved nose to the coupe like swoop of the roof line.Although the ride is on the firm side, with the raisedbody ride the HR-V soaks up the bumps on ruralroads; and the higher driving position helps with vis-ibility – especially at night, as you are less likely tobe blinded by oncoming headlights.
The LED headlights in the model I tested (1.6 i-DTEC EX) with the highbeam support (which auto-matically go between full beam and dipped), wereexcellent and really lit up the dark country roads –much better than traditional headlights.
The touchscreen infotainment and heating controlshave been updated and improved, although as withall touch screens they do need the driver to glancedown to the screen to make sure you are touchingthe right spot – more so than on the scroll-wheel systems favoured by say Audi and BMW. Having
said that, the CONNECT system is comprehensive:with Garmin SatNav, ipod, usb, HDMI, Aha apps and internet browsing, it’s all there and works well together !
Safety features are increasingly available on newcars and the HR-V has plenty: a rear view camera(you can even control the camera angle), lane de-parture warning and also a very audible warning ifyou leave braking a bit too late !
Finally the fuel economy – driving the HR-V alongthe A49 in Herefordshire and Shropshire for a coupleof hours I managed to get 68 mpg … pretty close tothe test condition extra-urban claimed 74 mpg. Evenon a series of stop-start shorter local trips I managed57 mpg, versus a test figure mpg of 67.
Overall, the HR-V is an excellent car for the UK,comfortable and roomy inside, with good sound in-sulation and excellent fuel economy. In the rangetopping EX version tested, it comes equipped withall the entertainment you could want, as well asheated seats and a panoramic sunroof.
