Church Wardens’ Word – September

W e are now approaching a year since we said a fond farewell to our Hambledon Associate Vic-ar, Catherine McBride (and who will ever forget that magical sunny October afternoon at Feathercombe?). But what is going on, we hear you ask, with appointing a successor?

Well, we had an advertisement out for the position in the late autumn of 2017, and in response had three applicants, but none were considered suitable for appointment. We had another go early this year, but events then rather took over. When the ‘beast from the east’ paid a visit in March, the water tank at Mervil Bottom (the vicar’s residence) froze and then unfortunately burst when the thaw came. Ceilings came down, and there was extensive damage. The Diocese who have responsibility for the property (it was handed back to them when Catherine left) have since begun repairs. We have important meetings looming with the Diocese in September to try and chart a way forward, given the circumstances in which we now find ourselves. A leadership team convened for this purpose (The Rev David Jenkins, PCC Treasurer Andrew Dunn, David Hodson and us wardens) have recently met to prepare the ground. We are of course keeping in close touch with our rector The Rev Simon Taylor as developments unfold. We are determined to try and retain the principle of having an ordained Church of England minister for Hambledon living in the village, hopefully in a repaired Mervil Bottom. It maybe that the post will be described slightly differently : we are working on that at the moment. Do pray for us all and that God’s purposes will become very clear. And we know that – even though we don’t always see it at the time – His timing is always perfect!

On the subject of God’s timing, we are really delighted to share with you the good news of the appointment of Lisa Olsworth-Peter as the Music-for-worship pastor for Busbridge and Hambledon.

Lisa just happened to be passing through this corner of Surrey one day this summer when – after drawing some frustrating blanks with job applications – she heard God clearly saying to her, while you’re here, why not try a local church? She spotted the music vacancy on our website with the caption – could this be you?

She then phoned the church office, spoke to Dave Preece our curate, then Simon, and thereafter everything fell into place very rapidly! Lisa is an accomplished keyboard player, vocalist and choir lead-er, LRAM qualified, has sung in the West End, led children’s music at the New Wine festival, ditto a choir at Spring Harvest. She will of course be dividing her time between Busbridge and ourselves.

But the good news for us is that we have managed to secure her services to lead the Christmas Car-ol Service choir at St Peter’s on the evening of 16 December. For which, hallelujah!

If you would like to join that choir, do email Lisa at: [email protected] Rehearsals will be held on the evenings of Wednesdays 28 Nov, 5 Dec and 12 Dec at 7.45pm.

PARISH & PEOPLE

Robert Dalton, gives an inspiring talk about his work with Wheels of the World, a Christian charity, which changes lives for disabled people, here described by Jacqueline Hindley

A fter another scrumptious break-fast of smoked salmon and scrambled egg, the speaker,

Robert Dalton, gave us an inspiring talk about his work with Wheels of the World, a Christian charity, which changes lives for disabled people in countries such as Ghana, Ethiopia, Tan-zania, Albania, Romania, Kosovo.

Anybody can donate a wheel-chair, no longer needed, and they will come and pick it up and send it on to their workshop at Parkhurst Prison in the Isle of Wight to be refurbished and adapted for rough terrain, by the prisoners who find satisfaction in the work, which helps towards restoring their self-worth and dignity.

The wheelchairs and other mobility aids are then sent in a large container to the host country in advance of the Wheels of the World team arriving, where thera-pists fit the chairs and make further adaptations if needed and teach family members on the correct use

and maintenance of the wheelchairs. They try to establish workshops with local technicians to help with this. But who benefits from this wonderful ser-vice? Wheels of the World works with other organisations already in the host countries. Before anything else, the needs of disabled people are assessed and all the medical and practical aspects are

dealt with, prior to the team of Wheels of the World arriving for a 7-10 day visit. We saw some amazing videos of mainly young people, who could only be carried by their relations or crawl on their hands and knees, but who now have a wheel chair, which has changed their lives. So if a wheelchair, crutches, or even a child’s buggy is cluttering up your garage, you could consider to contact them: Wheels of the World at: www.throughtheroof.org or [email protected] or phone 01372 749955.

The next Ladies Breakfast will be on Saturday 10 November at the Golf Club in Enton, where Simon Crowther and team will be speaking about the Cellar and Skillway. All ladies are very welcome. Do bring your friends.

Honour Hambledon’s HeroesHonour Hambledon’s HeroesHonour Hambledon’s HeroesHonour Hambledon’s Heroes

Now’s your chance: this year’s BBC Sussex & BBC Surrey Community Heroes Awards have just been scheduled and Hambledon, via the Parish Magazine, has been asked whom it would like to nominate.

E veryone has been loving the long hot summer except perhaps Earthworm who has found the going impossible, quaking at the thought of

what might befall him if he comes to the surface, and really just not enjoying the heat. Of course the other people not enjoying such a prolonged dry spell are the gardeners and the farmers.

Even if the gardeners have relished the fact how few weeds have been about, watching their trees shed their leaves in August, autumnal colour changes al-ready and worse, ominous signs of plant desiccation and death has filled them with gloom.

As to the farmers, while the hay and straw have been short- stemmed they have had a wonderful time with both the hay harvest and much of the corn gathered in before the weather broke. For growers of animal feed, not quite such a happy story as plants have desiccated and pods of beans for example just not swelled and ripened. So all in all a mixed blessing! But when have we been able to eat out quite so frequently, and with no fear of having suddenly to sweep every-thing indoors when rain threatens.

The rain did eventually come, as predicted too, and heavy enough overnight to really dampen every-thing down and penetrate quite a bit in to the parched soil though much more is needed.

There is such a lovely freshness about summer rain muses Earthworm. Everything smells delicious, scented plants seem to have a heightened fragrance.

One positive observation by Earthworm has been the morning mists hugging the ground like smoke and then rapidly evaporating as the day warms. Then there was the other bit of summer magic with the pink moon caused by the lunar eclipse. There are all sorts of tales about these, from Christopher. Columbus being stranded in Jamaica without food and the tribal people refusing to come to his aid, until he told them that the moon would turn to blood if they did not help him. He of course knew that a lunar eclipse would happen! When it did they brought him food!

There was too the siege of Byzantine Constanti-nople by the Ottoman Turks, and legend had it that Constantinople would fall when the moon gave a visi-ble sign. It did, with an eclipse, panicking the Byzan-tines and they were overrun. The rest of the history of Turkey in Ottoman hands is endlessly fascinating.

Earthworm loves to read those tales which make good holiday reading. Perhaps those who decided to take their holidays later will need some good reading too, as the temperatures have dropped quite markedly, the evenings are drawing in already and an autumn fire is needed.

After the summerAfter the summerAfter the summerAfter the summer,,,, the rains at lastthe rains at lastthe rains at lastthe rains at last


W hat a relief. Cooler days and beautiful light, misty dewy mornings. September’s short-ened days offer gorgeously ripe fruit, the

figs, the berries on hedgerows, the rainbow of plums, apples and pears on the trees – an apple and pear aura. Bees, wasps, flies, birds in waiting.

Nice and cozy for the yeast smelling spores, mushroom hunters keeping their source a secret. The essence of the English kitchen garden has changed almost overnight, the floral herby smells given way to the mulchy leafy tomcat whiff of late summer early autumn. There is no huge shift in what is in season more of a blend, we still have English courgettes, run-ner beans, climbing beans, artichokes, beetroots, broc-coli, cabbages, carrots, celeriac, celery, fennel, horse-radish, leeks, peas, lettuce, tomatoes, turnips, pump-kins, squash, sweetcorn and the new baby sprouts.

Fruit in abundance on the roadside. Start making the rubble of crumbles, blackberries, red currants, blue berries, damsons, bramley apples, pears, plums, raspberries and of course round two of the elder flower parasol, if you hadn’t picked all the blossom in June for cordials or tempura fritters……..

Herbs to look out for, chives, coriander, rose-mary, sage, parsley, oregano. The earliest of cobnuts and chestnuts, sweet white chestnuts – delicious early in the season, eaten raw, later on we can start drying them or roasting them as the gaming season gets in to gear, with the elderberries in casseroles, pies, sauces.

The Elder…no one actually has the intention of plant-ing one, but we all know one, in the city, on the streets, in the countryside, in the park, on the edge of the playground or carpark, random ugly disorganized untidy tree. Easily recognized in early summer by the lace umbrella of tiny clustered flowers and now in

September we see the lace has turned to tiny black berries, purple black gunshot. Sharp, tasty little ber-ries, look very similar to the juniper… Copious juice able to stain the whitest of teeth or napkin a not so pearly shade of violet. Try to get them before the al-ready fat birds and they leave their evidence of berry binge on the car roof or precious garden furniture. Use the berries to make jam, syrups, and jelly – great distilled in vinegar and oil, keep for next summer’s dressings.

A veg we need to use more of in September, when it is at its best is the lovely fuzzy topped fennel, not everyone’s cup of tea, bit like marmite…. hate it or love it, but it does make a lovely cup of tea with ginger and lemon. Fennel water marvelous for calm-ing the baby’s tummy. Something I will be using a lot when Victoria’s second baby arrives in December. To me it is such a pretty vegetable, the fluffy top, the beautiful white and lime lustrous body. Its tuft some-times confused with dill. Fennel is part of the carrot family but has more flavour than your regular carrot. Used as a herb for its aromatic skill, one of the primary ingredients in absinthe (not something I encourage anyone to try) boring used just boiled or roasted as a side dish, use it in slaw with beetroot, grate the body add parmesan and lemon, chuck all of that in some spaghetti with a good glug of the finest olive oil. Bake it whole with tomato and goat cheese, or onion and red pepper, add some walnuts. Put the yoghurt, horseradish, ground cinnamon and nigella seeds into a bowl and stir well.

Add the raisins season well.

Put all the veg and apples into a bigger bowl pour over the sauce, now use your hands and cover eve-

Gone are the cricket matches, the village fetes, balmy evenings, the romantic summer walks. The opales-cence of the varicoloured greens in the veg garden. The spinach, kale, fennel, early baby Brussel sprouts. The sudden wild browns popping up everywhere after the rains, the ground warm and incubatious.

1 large fennel bulb, quartered and finely sliced, include the fluffy fronds 1 generous handful of raisins ½ white cabbage 1 red onion, finely sliced into half moons ¼ cauliflower stalks 2 apples thinly sliced 20gms of mint 20gms of dill

1 big tsp of creamed horseradish, in season, dig up Handful chopped coriander Big tsp of ground cinnamon, nigella seed. Good grind of salt and black pepper. 6 tablespoons of goat yoghurt, if you can get it or a good Greek one will do

rything in the coating of flavour. Finish with the herbs, the mint, coriander, dill. Let it sit for a while for the flavours to mingle,

then serve in something old and tatty. Adds to the theatre of the Persian culture and allure.

Amazing……. All these ideas from simple veg-

etables fruits and berries, where will it end.

O ur move from Milford to Hambledon in 1957 gave my father, Winton Dean, now Lord of the Manor, opportunities for rough

shooting over his new demesne. This included both Hambledon and Buss’s Commons and much of Hambledon Hurst, stretching to the outskirts of Chiddingfold. If there was little game there was plenty of vermin, especially grey squirrels, for which in those days the Ministry of Agriculture offered a bounty of two shillings a tail. In December 1957 my father organised the first (and only) shoot over Hambledon Common. His companions were Commander Brodie Hoare, our genial next-door neighbour at Chart Cottage, and Major-General J.M. Martin from Great Meadow at Lane End. Jim was a retired Indian Army officer, a late child of a late child whose grandfather had been born before the French Revolution. They shot in the afternoon only, bagging six jays and a grey squirrel. But there were too many humans about for comfortable shooting, my father noted in his game book.

A few years later Jim Martin invited my father to a shoot at Shillinglee just over the Sussex border. It was a fine frosty day, beginning and ending in fog. The eight guns included a Brigadier and an Indian Prince. There were beautiful coverts but few birds, many foxes and an insufficiency of beaters. They saw a roe deer and a kingfisher but few genu-ine targets. Jim severed the telephone communica-tions with Plaistow.

In those days the woods at Hambledon were swarming with grey squirrels, which had supplanted the reds early in the century. They did great damage to trees, stripping the bark from beeches, not only at the base but up the stem, sometimes killing the top. Over the years my father collected a good many tails. A familiar figure, he strode across the green in his cloth cap, his shotgun under his arm and a pocket full of cartridges. As well as the Hurst, the tall turkey oaks near the Cricket Green Stores proved a good hunting ground. Shoppers were occasionally startled by thun-derous explosions close at hand and spent shot patter-ing down like hail. Once he asked my mother to pack a consignment of squirrel tails for the ghillie at his Scot-tish estate to fashion into fishing flies.

There was a yearly battle with squirrels raiding the walnut trees in the garden, intent on stealing the unripe nuts in their green cases. This must have been successful since we harvested a good many walnuts in those days. They were dried in bowls in my father’s study. He would crack them after dinner, showering the carpet with fragments of shell. Today there are never any walnuts – the squirrels abscond with every one.

Magpies, which rifled the nests of smaller birds and hopped about the garden cackling harshly, were a

particular bête noir. My father continued to predate them into extreme old age. On one occasion he spotted a magpie on the front lawn, stumbled downstairs to collect his gun, ascended the stairs again and let fly from the bedroom window. Unfortunately he only winged the bird. Determined to finish it off, he pur-sued it across the lawn – out the front gate – down the drive – over the road – and across the cricket green. Customers at the village shop gaped in disbelief as the shambling figure, in tattered dressing gown, pyjamas and bedroom slippers, wielding a 12 bore, lurched ever onwards. Near the far side he took shaky aim – and tumbled headlong into the ditch, breaking the stock of his gun.

Many of Chris’ relatives and friends were present to say their final good-byes at her cremation on 27 June. This is Kelley Watson’s tribute to a much-loved mother.

Chris GourleyChris GourleyChris GourleyChris Gourley

C hristine Jesslyn Gourley was born in Canada in 1924 to Scottish parents. She grew up in a small prairie town called Lethbridge with her

older brother, Gordon, and sister Isabel. Chris worked for many years in the telegraph

office in Lethbridge but, being very adventurous, she longed to travel and, with a Canadian girlfriend, she hitch-hiked all over England, Scotland and parts of Europe. She loved England and spent quite a few years living in Earl’s Court where she made some lifelong friends from all over the world. During this time she worked at BOAC and it is there that she met Pat, a South African. They were married in Leth-bridge and it wasn’t long before Kelley, Sean, Kevin and Colleen appeared.

In 1965, on one Monday evening, Pat came home and announced he was tired of having to get Chris to dig the car out from under the snowdrifts each day and told her to start packing as on Friday they were all flying to South Africa to live.

Chris loved South Africa. She lived on a farm where she grew lots of vegetables and was known all over the area for the tomato juice she made, canned and sold to all the local doctors. She also worked in a toy shop that Mic Coleman’s sister, Jennifer, owned and I think she and Jenn had even more fun in that shop than the children that came in.

Everyone loved Chris: she was “mum” to all her children’s friends. You would often see her walking up the lane with her three dogs, a neighbour’s dog, a calf and half a dozen children following behind her.

Chris was very creative: she made cards and all her own necklaces. She loved drawing, painting and writing stories. She always said she would have liked to have written children’s books.

Chris was always being funny and didn’t have to try too hard to achieve it – she was for ever getting herself into the silliest predicaments. Once Pat, who was a very tall man with thick black hair and glasses, dropped her off at the local village shop and waited in their white station wagon whilst Chris popped in to buy something.

After a short time he happened to glance into his rear view mirror and noticed Chris climbing into a bright yellow mini with a short, bald and frightened man sitting behind the steering wheel.

It wasn’t until she heard the two dogs in the back barking that she looked up and realised she was in the wrong car! This particular stunt was repeated with some regularity throughout her life.

Chris was always such a sport and didn’t mind who knew about her antics. She got a giggle just by telling everyone about the crazy thing she had just done.

I was thrilled when mum came back to England to live. She moved into the Almshouses in 1993, just in time for the birth of her grandson Charlie. This prompts another story: Chris had been helping me to sew some curtains for Charlie’s nursery. We had been at it all day when my husband Nick came in to ask if we would like to go down to the Merry Harriers for a drink. I immediately said “yes” but there was no reply from Chris. She later said “that would be nice, but do you mind if I bring the curtains with me?” Nick and I gave each other a puzzled look and said “OK, but why would you want to take the curtains?” Chris replied, “because I’ve sewn them to my trousers.”

Chris spent 25 happy years in the Almshouses, first in no. 1 and latterly in no. 2. She worked as a volunteer in Hambledon Village Shop for quite a few years.

Chris was a kind and gentle person. She loved people and was always interested in listening to others. She was mum, granny and friend to everyone.

Once again the Ramblers went to Sussex to explore some of England’s ancient countryside. It was a real history lesson, from the Celts via the Anglo Saxons to the Normans – and with some magnificent views thrown in for good measure.

O ur August jaunt followed a circular route from East Dean, a very pretty village in the Upper Lavant Valley between Singleton and

Charlton. Once part of Alfred’s Kingdom of Wessex, East Dean was bequeathed to his youngest son Athelweard (880 – 922) and the area is typical of that described by Destination Wessex as the “birthplace of England: a land of beauti-ful countryside….having a common sense of place made up of green fields, hedge and woods, of stone, thatch, vil-lage churches and historic inns, of architecture and archaeology….and a serene balance between man and na-ture.”

It was a steady but gentle climb up through fields and woodland, some of us sampling the fruits from different blackberry bushes in the hedgerows. The path is quite firm and broad with the landscape bearing the marks of early settlement from the Bronze Age; and between Brockhurst and Stonepit Bottoms it passes through the remains of an ancient Celtic field system. There are numerous flint pieces scattered about and examples of early tools have been found in the area. We tried but failed to spot the outline of the tumulus marked on the map and eventually arrived on

the ridge where the path is bisected by the South Downs Way. Stopping here for coffee, Maria pointed out that we were on the same spot we had encountered on another walk from Graffham when Phillip had led a butterfly expedition.

Turning right along the South Downs Way the scenery presently opened up to some magnificent views, especially from Crown Tegleaze, one of the highest points on the South Downs Way, overlooking East Lavington to the North. We stopped for a while to take some photos before continuing on and starting

the downhill stretch where Dog Toby was greatly excited by the number of pheasants breaking cover as we passed through the edge of Heath Hanger.

On the edge of the village we again

passed the flint-built Norman Church and scrutinised its architecture and its blocked-up archways.

Having come full circle, we were anticipating a warm welcome in the Star and Garter but were told that there was no food to be had at the inn!

However, a short car ride to Charlton brought us to The Fox Goes Free where we all sat together in the garden and were served a good lunch which we were happy to recommend.

Many thanks to our leaders, the Three Graces, for organising a very enjoyable day.

A s most of you know, up until last year I was the Squire of the “Cup Hill Morris Men” and sad-

ly, like many other men’s Morris teams, we just faded away – not quite reaching our 50th Anniversary (we formed in 1968). Cup Hill is an ancient name for Hydon Ball and on every “Beltain” or May Day, we used to meet there at dawn to dance in the Spring and perform the old Mummer’s Play – “The Worm of Wormley Hill”. I used to get there first and sit on the stone bench to watch the sky slowly lighten.

One morning in the mid 90s, I was aware of a shadow on the edge of the woods on my left-hand side. I felt a bit unsettled so called out “Merry May” which is the old May Day greeting. About ten seconds later came “and a Merry May to you” in a very low voice.

I put my bag of sticks down on the ground and, carrying my torch, walked over to where the voice came from. There was no one there and I would have heard someone walking through the woods. Just then I heard my first cuckoo and suddenly wished that more people would turn up. Ten minutes seemed an age…..and it started to rain!

“Green Man “Green Man “Green Man “Green Man –––– Herne the Hunter Herne the Hunter Herne the Hunter Herne the Hunter ––––

Old Man of the Woods Old Man of the Woods Old Man of the Woods Old Man of the Woods –––– Jack in the Green”. Jack in the Green”. Jack in the Green”. Jack in the Green”.

There is a green man carved on the spandrel of a 15th century choir stall at Winchester Cathedral. Plenty of ancient pubs were also called “The Green Man”. He has been found on a pagan tomb reckoned to be two thousand years old. He almost certainly belonged to the many gods celebrated by those mysterious priests of the Dark Ages, the Druids. He is not real … is he?!But the sun came out in time for dawn!

PS All is not lost …. the Fleur de Lys ladies Morris still carry on the tradition on May Day. Ross

Have you ever thought you saw a figure in the far corner of a field? Or perhaps a shadowy green shape flit through the woods? Well, if you have, it might have been this chap……

(Picture by Sue May)(Picture by Sue May)(Picture by Sue May)(Picture by Sue May)

Under the green woods, I walk aloneUnder the green woods, I walk aloneUnder the green woods, I walk aloneUnder the green woods, I walk alone Once all the fields were mine And the trees were mine The spired coppices The straight drills.

Now I must share them – With tractor stink, With harvest slasher – But I still find ways back into the furrow, To watch them grow – remembered or forgot.

And still I am the Green Man And still I walk the fields And though the land seems empty It is filled with life And though I am forgotten I still remember, and I still observe.

And still I am the Green Man.And still I am the Green Man.And still I am the Green Man.And still I am the Green Man.


T he match result against Dorking on Sunday 22 July was a losing draw, based on the fact that we were bowled out in the 41st over when only

40 should have been bowled! Put this down to poor scoring on our part (a perennial problem) and there is probably little we can do about it. We only lost four points for a losing draw (200 runs would have been needed for a winning draw) and in the grand scheme of things, it didn't make a huge amount of difference – except that it is never nice to lose a game, especially when that wasn’t the case.

That said, we played poorly overall on a sweltering day on the scorched grass of the Westhumble Playing Fields. We really must learn to try and win a game without Ryan who was sunning himself in Tenerife. It also didn't help that Sean was massively hung over from the previous evening’s exploits in the bars of Godalming and still had clearly not recovered by the time it came to bat.

Dorking won the toss and batted, scoring a creditable 225 for 6 with their star player, A Homewood, scoring an unbeaten 100. Interestingly, at the other end was a chap called Christ who certainly batted as if he had divine intervention as every swipe across the line seemed to miss the fielders with monotonous regularity. He eventually fell to the beguiling spin of returning ex-captain Ian Houston for 68. Ian was the pick of our bowlers with 2 for 40 off his 10. His last game was two years ago against Dorking during the infamous 300-2 off 30 overs fiasco, so he must be relieved to have cast out some demons there! We did hold some good catches, most notably by Bobby Luff running backwards and side-ways cleanly to take one over his shoulder of Wes and then Ian again who dismissed the opener with a splendid juggling act off Jake. Sadly, Jake could only manage five overs with 1 for 11 due to a dodgy knee.

When it came for us to bat we succumbed to some wild strokes off some pretty ordinary bowling, especially to their spin bowler who took four wickets with donkey drops! His wickets came about as a result of over-excited HCC batsmen wrenching their arm sockets to heave him into kingdom come – but failing. Only Chase (52), Mark White (42) and Wes (20) offered any sort of resistance. Andy Abbott was

unlucky to fall to a blinding one-handed diving catch in the covers whilst on 9. It was so good that it prompted Andy to contemplate retirement should that sort of thing happen to him again this season! Ian made 15 but was also caught. The less said about the Burton boys the better: even wrecked, Sean outscored his father by 3 runs! We made 177 before being bowled out in the 41st over.

HCC then needed to lick its wounds and get a side sorted for the next challenges, due to start with Abinger at home on Sunday 5 August. However, this was cancelled due to heavy rain. We realised that this wouldn’t be an easy run, with the two following matches against Capel and Ashtead (at that point second and two points behind us). However, the result of the away game against Capel on 12 August was a good win for Hambledon: Capel were 197 all out and Hambledon scored 198 for 5, with Ryan Luff making 126. At the time of writing, all is now to play for against Ashtead on Sunday 19 August for the League Title.

The Club would like to make a point about the Village Shop’s report of its win over Hambledon. This was a very good match which the Village Shop team indeed won; but it was against the Hambledon Friendly Side, our 2nd XI, which is nowhere near as strong as the 1st XI.

The Club would still like to welcome new players of all ages: see Hambledon Village website Hambledon Cricket Club page for more information.

There’s still another month of cricket to go : the remaining Seniors’ fixtures are as follows:

The match on Saturday 11 August pitted Hambledon’s Friendly XI against Windywick, Adam Strudwick’s XI. This was a Commemorative Match in tribute to Tony Strudwick, Adam’s father, a stalwart of HCC who died suddenly in April this year.

As well as the match, there was a collection and raffle in aid of the British Heart Foundation.

The Hambledon side, named the “Hambledon Legends” for the occasion, consisted mainly of old retired HCC cricketers who had played with Tony in previous years. Those who turned out were Tony Shakespeare, Bob Cunningham, Jonathan Bodansky, Steve Boxall, Stephen Blackman, Andy Hinde, Pat Cooke and Bruce Sleap, plus current players Sion Griffiths, Andy Abbott and Andrew Dunn. It was a 30 over match for each side and Adam, having won the toss, put the Legends into bat.

They started well, with some of the older guys, having reaching 30 runs, being voluntary retired so that all the others could bat. As it turned out, the retirees were eventually called in to bat again. The Legends amassed a total of 237 runs and were all out just short of their 30 overs. A commanding score.

Tea and cakes, of many different types, were then the order of the day. Thanks go to Susan for organising such a wonderful spread.

With all the players, and also the spectators, fully satisfied, the match restarted.

The Windywick openers, as well as those who followed them, came under pressure from some

excellent bowling and fielding by the Legends. It soon became apparent that the retirees had not forgotten how to bowl – or to catch. How some of them were able to turn their arm over to bowl was remarkable. The thoughts and expectations of some undoubtedly very sore muscles and arms the next day did nothing to deter them and in the end Windywick were all out for 137 runs.

The BBQ was in full swing as the innings ended and all were fed with burgers and hotdogs as well as a flow of beers and wines.

To cap it all on this special day, the raffle draw with prizes of test match tickets, dinner for two, a bottle of sparkling wine and more has so far raised an incredible £1,200 for the British Heart Foundation, with final contributions still to come.

It’s not just quizzes at the Merry Harriers: as well as the shepherds huts there’ll soon be more new accommodation (and more staff to look after more customers and guests). But none of this means that the old traditions are being overlooked.

H ope everyone is having a good summer. As I write this it is lashing down with rain but hey ho, good for the grass as

they say. Many of you will have seen

our first shepherds hut on the field opposite the pub. It was a mission to get it in there but we managed and it looks amazing. It will be ready from the end of the month so please feel free to ask for a look inside. Each hut will have underfloor heating, a log burning stove and a fire pit. We have another four arriving at the end of November to complete the set.

Just to keep you all updat-ed, we also have three more B&B rooms and a manager’s cottage being built behind the pub. Work for that starts on 10 September. So from next year onwards we will have ten rooms, five shep-herds huts and hopefully still twelve llamas! Busy busy!

We will be recruiting for housekeeping and bar/waiting staff from September so please send anyone our way whom you think might be inter-ested.

Many thanks to everyone who turned out for Richard Payne and Mikey Coleman's Quiz. It was a

great clash of minds between a future politician and a future historian! If anyone fancies writing and hosting the quiz one month, please let us know. It's great fun, we promise! All this rain has done wonders for our vegetable garden. Sam and his team have been busy picking and preparing our own home-grown veg: please come and try some, especially on a Sunday. It really does make a difference. With myself and Sam being Yorkshire born and bred, we celebrated Yorkshire Day on 1 August with Timo-thy Taylor Landlord on tap, Yorkshire Gin and Yorkshire Tapas on the bar (bread and dripping, pork pies and York-shire puddings). Even the staff dressed up. It’s just a shame it’s only once a year!

On 4 August 1918 King George V met to pray with members of the Hous-es of Parliament. One hundred days later, the war ended. Last month, 4 August 2018 was the first day of 100 days of prayer across the country, running until Armistice Day in November. Thousands of Christians across the country are us-ing daily prayers, Bible readings and reflections from 100 Days of Peace and Hope which can be downloaded, a week at a time from www.remembrance100.co.uk/100-days/. HOPE has also published a beautifully illustrated booklet called Silence to give away at Remembrance events. Silence invites readers to look back with gratitude, and to reflect on eternal themes of faith, hope and love. Find out more at: www.remembrance.co.uk.


S eptember is full-on harvest time, where the earli-er hard work quite literally bears fruit. Apples, pears, autumn fruiting raspberries, runner beans,

courgettes, tomatoes, sweet corn, pumpkins…the list goes on. Hopefully the autumn flowering plants, like Sedums, Asters and Japanese Anemones will not have suffered too much by the drought. And we need to plan ahead for the following year.

Perennials, Annuals, and Bulbs: If you have man-aged to keep your patio pots an baskets going in all that dry weather, then liquid feed them regularly and remove any dead flowers, then hopefully they will keep looking good until the frost comes. Now is the time to buy spring flowering bulbs, fully available in garden centres; try to plant them as soon as possible so they can start growing; daffodils, in particular, prefer early and deep planting; consider getting narcissi which can look great in pots and win-dow boxes, but also do well at the front of the border. Plant prepared hyacinths for Christmas flowering. If you did not get a chance to sow your own biennials back in June, you will find plenty on sale in the garden centres or online; they will provide wel-come colour next spring and look great with bulbs; my favorites are Foxglove, Sweet William, Aquilegia, Poppies, Honesty and Wall flowers; some of these are not strictly biennials. And for perennials I am tempted to buy a Japanese Anemone called “White Swan”, because it is said to do well in dry soil, unlike most other Japanese Anemones; and it behaves well, its spread is no more than 50cm and its height 45cm (18 in); it has large nodding white blooms from July to end of September. For later autumn flowering perennials Michael-mas daisies are great, some lasting until the frost comes. Cyclamen Hederifolium are essentially wood-landers but this easy little plant does well in sun or shade and over time gently seeds around; best planted now as plants and not as dried corms; don’t buy the larger hybrids and they are almost certainly not hardy; another tip is don’t plant them deeply; also don’t plant them near Cyclamen Coum, as they will take over. Hoe any weeds that have kept alive during the dry spell to prevent them reaching their flowering stage. When primroses and primulas start to grow again, it is a good time to divide bigger clumps; they will recover quickly, but need to be kept well watered if the autumn turns out to be dry too.

Shrubs and Trees: Once climbing roses have stopped blooming, cut back the side-shoots to two buds from their base; also remove any weak or dead growth. If blackspot is a problem spray all types of roses one last time before the winter and remove all affected leaves still on the plants or on the ground. Clip lavender now it’s finished flowering, so the cuts will harden up before the winter. If there is no

room to bring in tender shrubs like some salvias, then take cuttings: find a non-flowering shoot, make a slanting cut underneath a leaf and then remove the bottom leaves; insert the cuttings around the edge of a pot and put in a plastic bag and overwinter indoors.

Veges and fruit: The summer crops started early in the hot dry weather and there are not many tomatoes left on my plants now; I have made quite a lot of rata-touille, which is in batches in the freezer for winter use. Keep watering and feeding pumpkins to help the fruit to swell. Get spring cabbages in the ground for a crop early next year; make sure you plant them so firmly that the leaf would tear before the plant would come out of the soil if pulled. Put up netting to protect leafy crops from pigeon damage. Still time this month to sow winter salad in an unheated greenhouse or un-der fleece outside; a good one to try is “Niche Oriental Mixed” from Thomson & Morgan, a mixture of main-ly Japanese leaves like mizuna and mustard, which can be picked from November. Plant autumn onion sets 2cm deep in drills 5-10cm apart.

Leaf mould: Make a leaf mould bin with chicken wire fastened to four posts to put fallen leaves in; this makes excellent leaf mould in about a year’s time. Alternatively put them in black bin bags with a few holes stabbed in for drainage.

Pond: Keep the autumn leaves out of the pond by cov-ering it with a net; make sure the netting is well se-cured to stop birds and other animals getting snagged up in it; by preventing leaves getting in, you will great-ly reduce the amount of sludge that accumulates at the bottom of the pond. If the pond needs cleaning out, September is a good time as pond creatures are less likely to be disturbed; this job only needs doing every 5-10 years when the bottom begins to silt up; drain the pond and put any fish in a tank of pond water and plants in a moist, shady spot; dig out the silt and put on the borders; scrub the liner and repair any problems; put a little silt back in and ideally fill with rainwater from the water butt; return the plants and fish; it may take a while for the natural balance to return so keep an eye out for green water and blanket weed.

Maintenance: Now is a good time to empty out the coldframe by clearing out any dead or unwanted plants that are in there, ready to receive any tender plants.

Plum & pistachio flapjacks Plum & pistachio flapjacks Plum & pistachio flapjacks Plum & pistachio flapjacks

Plums are in season at the moment and sticky plum and pistachio flapjacks are a great way to use up a glut, or a bowl of windfalls if you are lucky enough to find them.

Although the fruit layer is very moist, they freeze well too. Makes 20 –25 flapjacks.

INGREDIENTS 300g ripe plums, stoned and chopped into 1cm pieces 3/4 tsp mixed spice Freshly ground black pepper 200g light brown soft sugar

250g rolled oats 100g plain flour 50g chopped pistachio nuts 300 salted butter 1tbsp golden syrup

METHODMETHODMETHODMETHOD Heat the oven to 180/160 fan /gas mark 6, and generously grease a baking tin, approx. 20 cm square. Mix the chopped plums in a bowl with the spice, 50g of sugar and a grind of black pepper. Set aside. In another bowl mix the rest of the sugar, oats, plain flour and pistachio nuts. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan. Stir in the golden syrup, remove the pan from the heat and tip in the sugar and oat mix. Stir until completely combined.

Pour half of the flapjack mixture into the prepared tin, flatten, then spread over the chopped plums in even layer. Tip the remaining flapjack mixture over the top and carefully cover the plums, making sure you can’t see any fruit. Bake for 50—55 minutes until the edges are dark and crispy. Remove and allow to cool for 15 minutes. Cut into slices, then allow to cool com-pletely in the tin.

Dear Father,

September again! How quickly the months roll by. How quickly our lives move forward.

Help us this September to welcome the new starts in our every-day lives – the new school year, the new clubs and activities for all ages that start up again this month.

There are so many opportunities, so much to keep us busy. Help us Lord, this September to com-mit each new day and each new activity to you, aware that every day is a gift from you. Help us to choose wisely how we spend the time you give us and to reflect your love and generosity and kindness to those we meet each day.

In Jesus name, Amen.


A ll the saints have their special sym-

bols. When we see a saint in a window or painting carrying loaves of bread, we know it is St Philip. It was Philip who wondered how the multitude gathered around Jesus could be fed in John 6. Our Lord met their hunger with just five loaves and two fish. Bread has always been a staple food in the Holy Land; and

in July the media reported that the oldest bread had been found in the remains of a Jordanian fire 14,000 years ago. To-day all kinds of bread are sold in our bakeries and supermarkets. Each country has its own way of producing bread but at heart it is the same procedure, combining the four ancient elements of life: earth, air, water and fire - earth producing the grain for flour, air to transform the dough, water added to the mix and fire to bake the bread.

Bishop Geoffrey Rowell tells the story of sharing a picnic with some Lebanese Christians. Fragments of the bread were scattered on the ground and he idly cracked them with his feet. There was an immediate reaction. ‘Don’t do that’ one said. ‘It is bread. It is life.’ John tells us in chapter 6 how bread is a sign of life for the people and a sign that points to Jesus whose life is generously shared with others.

The gospels do not say exactly where the miracle of the loaves and fishes occurred, beyond Luke’s account that it was in “a desert pace belonging to the city called Bethsaida”. During the first three centuries AD a tradition developed among local Christians that the rock formation by the side of the road on the north-western corner of the Sea of Galilee was the site. A small church was erected there, possibly by a convert named Josepos, born to a rich Jewish family from Tiberias but who converted whilst on a mission to Asia Minor. It was first recorded by a pilgrim from Iberia named Egeria who wrote of visiting a church near Capernaum whose altar is situated on the rock on which Jesus fed the multitude. She also commented on the seven springs flowing by the church which confirms that she was speaking of Tabgha, then called Heptapegon – the Greek for “seven springs”.

In the second half of the 5th century a much larg-er Byzantine church was built on the site, containing a number of mosaic floors believed to have been made

by two separate artists, probably from Egypt since one of the main themes portrayed was wildlife found in the Nile Valley, not in Galilee. This church was destroyed by the Persians in 614 but in 1932 excavations resulted in the discovery of the mosaics from the 5th century church and confirmed that this had been built on the foundations of a much smaller 4th century chapel.

The present church, inaugurated in 1984, was built to the same floor plan as the 5th century church. In front of the altar is the restored mo-saic of two fish and a basket of loaves.

Another highlight is the figurative mosaic floor, the earliest known exam-ple of a figured pavement in Palestinian Christian art. It covers the two transepts and the intervals between

the pillars (the rest of the floor has a mosaic in a sim-ple geometric pattern, mostly restored). The mosaic depicts birds and plants, with a prominent place given to the bell-like lotus flower. This is not found in the area and indicates the influence of the Nilotic land-scapes which were then popular in Hellenistic and Roman art. How-ever, all the other motifs depict flora and fauna from Galilee and the level of detail al-lows the identifica-tion of each spe-cies. There are charming “ducks in love” in the lower centre and a depic-tion upper left of the round tower (nilometer) was used to measure water level. Also visible are the Greek let-ters for numbers 6 to 10.

We enter our own churches and see bread offered on the altar at every Eucharist, and rejoice that Jesus is our host as He was by the Sea of Galilee. He comes with the same invitations: ‘Take and eat. See and be-lieve.’ He offers us the bread of life. But more than that, He offers us the bread of eternal life.

This month the Rev. Michael Burgess explores the significance of a mosaic, probably dating back to the late 5th century, in the Church of the Multiplication of the Loaves and Fishes at Tabgha on the shore of Lake Galilee.

Method Heat oven to 160°/140°C fan/gas 3. Grease & line the base and sides of 2x20cm cake tins with baking parchment. In a jug, whisk the eggs, yogurt and milk. Beat the butter and sugar together in a large bowl, using an electric hand whisk. When you have a light and fluffy mixture, add flour, the liquid in the jug and the lemon zest. Mix again until smooth. Divide the cake mixture between the two tins, level the surfaces and bake for 40 mins. Mix the lemon juice and elderflower cordial. When the cakes are cooked, poke all over the surface with a cocktail stick then spoon the lemon and elderflower syrup over the cakes. Leave to cool in the tins. Once cool, you can wrap in cling film and keep for 3 days before icing.

To make the icing: beat the butter until smooth with an electric hand whisk. Add half the icing sugar, use aspatu-la to mash the mixture together (this will help to prevent an icing sugar cloud) then whisk again. Add the remain-ing icing sugar, cream cheese and lemon zest, mash again, then whisk again until smooth. Place one of the sponges on your chosen cake stand/plate. Fill middle with icing and place the other sponge on top of it. Pile most of the remaining icing on top, then use a palette knife to spread it across the top and down the sides, covering the cake in swirls (don’t worry about it looking too perfect). Add the final bit of icing to the top and use it to cover any patches where the cake is poking through. Decorate with fresh flowers if desired.

* Recipe for Lemon & Elderflower cake (Recipe adapted from BBC Good Food website)

Ingredients 300g self-raising flour finely grated zest of half a lemon, plus juice 2 tbsp elderflower cordial oil for greasing 4 medium eggs

For the icing 170g softened butter 200g full fat cream cheese 470g icing sugar finely grated zest of half a lemon

A commemorative booklet called Silence has been produced for churches to give away at

Remembrance events this November. Silence in-cludes many of the familiar Remembrance epitaphs, poems and exhortations and aims to help all those attending Remembrance services to engage with God in the two minutes silence.

On Sunday, 11 November 2018, people around the Commonwealth will observe Remem-brance Sunday and Armistice Day to mark the cen-tenary of the end of World War 1.

Roy Crowne, HOPE’s executive director, says: ‘As well as reflecting on loss, this year also gives us the chance to look forward as we mark the end of World War 1 and pray for peace. We have set up Remembrance 100 in partnership with others, to help churches bring communities together to mark this significant point in our history.’

Many organisations are working together to provide Remembrance 100 resources for local churches and communities.

These include the Armed Forces Christian Un-ion, Bible Society, Christian Vision for Men, Church

of England, Churches Together in England, Deo Glo-ria Trust, HOPE, Lifewords, the Methodist Church in Britain, the Peace Alliance, the United Reformed Church, Scripture Union, Sports Chaplaincy UK, and the World Prayer Centre.

T his is to be used between Chiddingfold and Duns-fold surgeries, it will enable transportation of vac-

cines, particularly Flu vaccine, between the two sur-geries under some new rules. Without it the Flu Clin-ics in Dunsfold would no longer be possible. This will benefit in particular elderly Dunsfold residents for whom the journey to Chiddingfold is difficult.

Our Constitution charges us with providing facilities and equipment for the benefit of the residents

of Chiddingfold and surrounding villages served by the Surgeries and this clearly fits those objectives. By the time you read this the Doctors will be making plans for the winter and will be keen to vac-cinate as many eligible patients as possible so look out for the notices inviting you to attend a flu clinic.

Our next event will be the Annual Quiz on Satur-day 2 February 2019 at the Chiddingfold Village Hall. Simon Inchbald: [email protected] friendsofchiddsurgery.org/ Reg Charity No. 1080617

The Friends of Chiddingfold Surgery have agreed to fund the purchase of a refrigerated vaccine transport

The Garden House WorkshopThe Garden House WorkshopThe Garden House WorkshopThe Garden House Workshop

It may be called the Men’s Shed, but don’t be put off – everyone is welcome to take advantage of this new facility at the Garden House at Hydestile

T here is an opportunity to tinker in a rather nice shed. Making things, repairing things, cups of tea in a friendly setting on a lovely estate.

‘Men’s sheds’ is now an international concept, supported by the UK Men’s Shed Association.

The Garden House Workshop is not gender specific and both women and men are very welcome. Located at The Garden House in Hydestile, the work-shop has started as a weekly Wednesday activity, with the option to participate between 10 am and 4 pm, depending on people’s availability and inclination. Nic Quick is the Co-ordinator of the project and is looking for participants and help to develop it.

As part of The Garden House estate, the work-shop is located on the site of a new garden. This is currently under development so there are opportunities to be involved with projects there as well.

In both cases places are limited so you will need to get in touch prior to any attendance.

You can find out more by contacting The Garden House at www.thegardenhousesurrey.org or by emailing the [email protected]. If you would prefer to telephone, give Andy Holdaway, Estate Manager, a call on 07557 554261
