In the middle wasa huge up-ended tree-stump and for a few years my friendand I (bossy little things that we were) organised acommunity bonfire around it – it was so solid it neverburned away. We begged wood up and down the streetand on the night, each family brought a contribution:sausages; jacket potatoes; parkin (this was Yorkshire sono pasties) bonfire toffee; and hot chocolate. The Dad’spooled the fireworks and set them off and we all had a greattime together.We have learned to truly value our communities during thepandemic: how we have missed our community gettogethersin the past couple of years! It’s great to seethings gradually reviving.IIn the church we are planning for Remembrance Sundayon 14th November and we’re so looking forward tocelebrating Christmas together this year – a little differentlymaybe, with some risks still around, we may not be ableto accommodate some of our bigger services, but most willgo ahead in some way – details next month. We hope youwill join us to remember and celebrate.Angela CooperWashing-Up PartySome people have all the fun!Having decided to attempt a Soupand Sweet Charity Fund Raiser,everything in the upstairs’ kitchenat the chapel needed to bescrubbed, cleaned and, in some cases, passed on tocharity shops. Took quite a while to achieve this but theWashing-Up Party was fun and who knew fingers couldget so wrinkly and still return to normal? Our bodies arebrill!Having achieved the cleaning goal, it was decided to gofor the annual (well not last year) Christmas Cracker Coffeeand Pasty Lunch event. There won’t be crackers this timeand no-one’s quite sure what to call the event but onSATURDAY 27th NOVEMBERfrom 10.30am to 2pm the Methodist Chapel will be openwith stalls, coffee, pasties and desserts (recentlydiscovered this is ‘stressed’ spelt backwards - nocomment!).Covid is still with us, so we do ask that you use the handsanitiser as you enter, wear a mask until seated and try tokeep everyone as safe as possible.Be lovely to see you there.
