From the Vicarage October 2016.
I love this time of year, as the summer turns to autumn, and the
first cool mornings arrive, and leaves go from green to gold; but
what I really like about it is the back-to-school feeling. I was one
of those annoying children who skipped back to the classroom
when the summer holidays were over. I still love the smell of a
new satchel, and the rattle of a tin case of Oxford
Mathematical Instruments, and the smell of new football boots,
not that I, incompetent at all sport, ever made much use of
them.
I feel more than a normal sense of nostalgia this year, returning
from my sabbatical, a three-month vacation from church
duties, which is the nearest thing to the summer holidays of
childhood an adult can have. It took some getting used to, not
having the rhythm of the church’s week and festivals to mark
out the time and it was weird going to other people’s church
services and thinking “I wonder why they do it THAT way” over
and over again, before it strikes you that it may be worth
thinking why we do things our way too.
I wondered if I would return full of ideas for change and
revision, but actually it’s been more like getting back on the
bus. I step on, having stepped off three months ago, and we
just resume the route, doing what we always do. I like that
about the life of the church, not lapsing into the error of thinking
the wheel needs reinventing every six months but settling into
the pattern which was there before we were and will be there
after we’re gone. By this I don’t mean nothing should ever
change, but I would argue we should have confidence in the
deep and regular pulse and pattern the church lives by and
invites us to share.
Yours in Christ,
Fr Richard.

potatoes, pasta and pasta sauce,
instant mash potatoes, packet soup,
noodles, jam, tinned fruit, puddings,

Some Other Harvest
Festivals
Harvest festival as we know it today in
England was started by the Rev R.S.
Hawker (1804- 1875) in Morwenstow,
Cornwall. He introduced the Harvest
thanksgiving service to his
congregation in 1843 to which
Parishioners were asked to bring
home grown fruit and vegetables.
After the service he distributed the
food to the poor and needy.
In the past Saxon Farmers made corn
dolls out of the last sheaf of corn
harvested. The whole community
were involved in bringing in the crops.
This was placed on the banquet table
where the parishioners had a mighty
feast of thanksgiving to celebrate the
harvest. The dolls were kept until the
next spring. It was thought that the
spirit of the corn lived on through the
doll and this would maintain a good
harvest the following year.
The Chinese and other Asian
countries celebrate their rice and
wheat harvest with a Moon Cake
Festival. Moon Cakes are made and
eaten and hot Chinese tea drunk to
give thanks for their harvest and to
bring their family and friends together
in celebration.
Homowo Festival or Yam Festival in
Ghana marks the harvesting of the
Yams, the Ghanaians staple food. The
first Yams are reaped and carried
ceremonially back to the village where
the Chief gives thanks and blesses
the yield. Although the local people
maybe Christian or Muslim they still
give thanks and honour the spirit of
the Yams and the Harvest Gods.
Magione in Italy celebrates a two day
Harvest Festival in November on the
Feast of St Clement. After the olive
harvest the local priest blesses the
new olive oil at a special mass of
thanksgiving. Following the mass the
whole town partakes in a lavish feast
to celebrate the produce.
Travelling around the world, countries
everywhere give thanks in a number of
ways to give thanks and celebrate the
gathering in of the ripe fruits and
vegetables from the fields and forest.
This year our Church will be collecting
dried and tinned foods and donating
them to the local food bank.

The Diary of Cissie
Parrot- an unreliable
memoir of a Bell Ringer
Tim Reaper the gravedigger was
hanging around outside when we
finished ringing practise. Christine
Clapper says he wasn’t trying to drum
up trade. He’s had some bad luck
what with the divorce and the
bankruptcy. Harriet Hunter says he’s
7
love lorn. She’s says he’s fallen for
Victoria Timms. I know he trims her
herbaceous borders but I didn’t
realise he was that keen on her lawn.
Andy Mann was showing off his
Quarter Peel at ringing tonight. It was
rubbish. It nearly ruined my last nightthe
back- you know. I can’t do it
anymore.
Victoria Timms gave me some
flowers and made a speech. The
others clubbed together and gave me
an inscribed hand bell.
Andy gave me a car stereo.
Apparently, they don’t come in boxes
anymore, saves on packaging. He
said he could fit it for me if I gave him
£20. I think I’ll give it to the Harvest
Festival raffle.

Food for Thought!

In My Day
the ramblings of Hubert James
In my day it was about this time of
year that we’d start getting the
Sniffles, and everybody went around
saying ‘coughs and sneezes spreads
diseases’. Life was much more poetic
then.
My old Grandma was always
prepared for a thick head or dribbling
nose. She always kept a bottle of
eucalyptus oil in the kitchen. She said
it had been distilled from Koala Bear
sweat on Ayres Rock. She could be a
bit bemused.
What she would do was fill a washing
up bowl with boiling water and add a
few drops of the oil. Then she would
drape a tea towel over her head and
lean into the bowl and inhale. I still
have nightmares about going to see
her as a child and finding a very
damp red faced lady with matted hair,
runny nose, smelling slightly fresh
and sporting the recipe for Welsh
Cakes on her head. But it worked.
Course, this was before she
discovered Beecham’s Powders
(other powders are available). They
were a strange remedy. They came in
a neatly folded piece of paper. You
had to carefully unwrap it then by
putting your head back you could
poor it into your mouth. Disgusting.
Once you’d done all that, you had
usually forgotten that you had a cold.
13
Nowadays you can get a flu jab from
the nurse and you are ready to take
on all viruses for the next six months.
I know folk think this is new but we
had something similar back in my
day.
A bloke called Len along Sibley Road
reckoned he could prevent colds
using the excretions of a hedgehog.
He said the oils on the spikes could
prevent the flu. He justified this by
offering a £5 prize to anyone who
brought him a hedgehog with a chest
infection.
Some people tried it. Len would roll a
hedgehog up and down your arm until
it pricked the skin. Although, Len tried
to get credibility by saying the spines
had to ‘lance’ the skin. He thought
lance sounded like Lancet which gave
it medical credence. Apparently, it
worked but he had to stop treatment
when the hedgehog population
hibernated just when we needed
them most.
But for a while Len’s Prickly Come
Lancing was very popular.
Religious Cowboy
The devout cowboy lost his favourite
Bible while he was mending fences
out on the range.
Three weeks later, a hedgehog
walked up to him carrying the Bible in
its mouth.
The cowboy couldn't believe his eyes.
He took the precious book out of the
hedgehog's mouth, raised his eyes
heavenward and exclaimed, "It's a
miracle!" "Not really," said the
hedgehog. "Your name is written
inside the cover."

Rt Revd John Holbrook, Bishop of Brixworth writes
“Be still and know that I am God” (Psalm 46.10)
many people are looking for is space to
be still, space to reflect, to meet with
others at greater depth and be open to
the possibility of meeting with God.
Such a longing is well expressed in
this poem found at St Mary’s Parish
Church in the grounds of Portchester
Castle;
If this is not a place where
My spirit can take wing…
Where do I go to fly?
If this is not a place where
My tears are understood…
Where do I go to cry?
A
t this year’s Greenbelt Festival,
held in August in the beautiful
grounds of Boughton House
near Kettering, Canon Mark Oakley
from St Paul’s Cathedral told a lovely
story about meeting a shepherd whilst
on a walk in Shropshire. He asked him
about his crook, upon which bishops’
croziers are modelled. “Do you really
use the curved bit to hook the sheep
and bring them into line?” The
shepherd replied; “No. What I do is
plant the crook in the ground. I lean
upon the curved part and my aim is to
stand still enough for the sheep to
come to me”.
Canon Oakley commented that he’d
like to tell that story to lots of bishops!
Being still is a challenge for many of
us, not just bishops. There is huge
pressure in a very busy world for the
Church to be equally busy. But what
If this is not a place where
Feelings can be heard…
Where do I go to speak?
If this is not a place where
You’ll accept me as I am…
Where do I go to be?
I pray that the unknown author of that
prayer poem and many others may find
our churches to be places where they
can be understood, heard and accepted
and their spirits may fly. May we all
also know Christ the Good Shepherd in
the stillness and be drawn close to
him.
