A WORD FROM THE EDITOR I’m having guitar lessons at the moment. In fact it’s a family guitar lesson, though Jack seems to chit-chat most of the time which is more than a little annoying. I’m not naturally ‘musical’ and have no immediate plans to join a band, but decided to do this to give my brain a bit of a work-out. It’s proving to be a challenge. I spend so long trying to recall each chord I doubt if I’ll ever produce anything which resembles music, but it has been interesting to explore my mental back catalogue to find pieces I want to play (eventually).
SOAPBOX SCAVENGE
Different types of music and different artists have accompanied me through various stages in my life. Johnny Cash was my first love, then Bruce Springsteen, Michael Jackson, Bob Dylan, U2, The Stunning, The Pale, Leonard Cohen, Neil Young, Snow Patrol, Regina Spektor, Nick Cave, Ed Sheeran… and always Johnny Cash. One song I go back to again and again is U2’s Stuck in a Moment. The following words have helped me through some difficult times: “And if the night runs over, And if the day won’t last, And if your way should falter, Along this stony pass, It’s just a moment, This time will pass” Another which reduces me to tears every time I play it, and I play it a lot, is Johnny Cash’s version of Hurt. His video is regarded as one of the saddest ever produced, but on their own the opening lyrics are, in my opinion, the most powerful description of loneliness I’ve ever encountered: “I hurt myself today, To see if I still feel, I focus on the pain, The only thing that’s real” Right now these lyrics make me sad for those who are alone with little or no prospect of human contact. The days may be longer and most of us are getting out and about, but not everyone. Spare a thought for those who are isolated through illness or age and consider what you might do to provide a distraction. In Save Myself, Ed Sheeran sings “...human beings are destined to radiate or drain…” Let’s try to radiate more than drain – and I promise to never, ever, ever play guitar in public.

Crispy, Lucy, Graham, Mel, JoMo, Beerlegs and Mooresy in front on Kiddy Bike With so many people in Hadleigh wanting to throw themselves speedily down hills, the rugby club are staging their second Hadleigh Soapbox Races earlier in the season, on July 15 from 10am to approximately 4pm. Of course, the main components of a good kart are its wheels and the local recycling centre, run for the local councils by FCC Environment, have come good. A scavenging team led by captain Oli ‘Beerlegs’ spent a Saturday morning dismantling a variety of wheeled scrap vehicles (principally bikes) with help from Lucy, Mel and Graham, the FCC local team. A veritable production line of spanners, strong wrists and muscle produced a mound of very usable soapbox wheels. Oli said: “We’ve had an immense amount of interest in building karts, but know that sourcing wheels can be difficult. A problem no longer! If you want to enter a kart and need wheels contact the race secretary. My advice is to get going. Once you start the basic frame comes together quickly and then you get into making refinements, perhaps changing your steering decisions, and then there’s the whole business of decorating the kart. Our grateful thanks to FCC Environment who have joined other local businesses to get this going.” For entry details go to ‘Hadleigh Soapbox’ Facebook page or contact the race secretary on 07545 545744. Wheels are being looked after by Ainger Holbrow and, once registered, you can go and choose yours free of charge!

DEMENTIA FRIENDLY HADLEIGH We are proud to report that Hadleigh Show has been formally recognised as working to become a dementia friendly event and is officially supporting the work of Hadleigh Dementia Action Alliance. Why not come and visit Hadleigh Dementia Action Alliance volunteers on stand B1 as they join the 178th Hadleigh Show on Saturday, May 20 at Holbeck Park? It really is a great family day out. Show secretary Cathy Leney says: “We are delighted to have been formally recognised as supporting the work of the HDAA. Hadleigh Show has been making memories for families in our community for 178 years. We have created an action plan that will be developed over the coming years to make our event dementia friendly.”
Tracey Loynds from HDAA says: “Cathy and I met with the Alzheimer’s Society to help us fully understand what a dementia friendly agricultural event could look like. Hadleigh Show is the first agricultural show in the country to sign up to the dementia friendly event, which we are incredibly proud and thankful for.” To find out more about this year’s show or to buy tickets visit: www.hadleighshow.co.uk If your business or employer has not yet signed up to support the work of the alliance or you would like more information email hadleighdementiafriends@ssleisure.co.uk or visit: www.hadleighdementiafriends.co.uk
10 REASONS WHY IT’S GOOD TO GO OUT! Research has shown that regular exercise can reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s by up to 40%. For those already living with dementia, it has been shown to slow down the progression of the condition. 1 S tudies show that keeping active can actually slow down the progression of dementia symptoms.
6 Most people find regular trips out do lift their spirits. Access to nature has been shown to reduce stress, anxiety and depression.
2 Dementia can affect strength, balance and coordination. Activities like walking and gardening can help people to maintain strength and mobility which helps to prolong independent living.
7 In some instances, regular light exercise outdoors has been shown to reduce the need for prescription medication.
3 L eading a physically active life is good for everyone and it’s the same for people living with dementia. Regular exercise will help to improve sleep patterns, build up appetite and even improve memory – all of which can be affected by dementia. 4 Spending time outdoors can help people to recall emotional memories of playing outdoors as children, or of tending a muchloved garden. This can be invaluable when factual memories are fading. It can also create new experiences for those living with dementia – and their carers – to enjoy. 5 It’s easy to forget that some people living with dementia may lose the ability to recall days and months. Getting out into nature and feeling the summer sun on their faces, or the cold winter wind in their hair, will give those living with the condition a sense of time and place.
8 Getting out and about can provide a fantastic distraction from dementia symptoms. Light, wind, temperature changes, different sounds and smells all help to occupy the mind, which can bring some peace for people living with dementia. 9 Trips out can give people a sense of belonging, friendship and kinship – as well as a sense of purpose and accomplishment. None of these feelings are easy to achieve for someone living with dementia, but are essential for their overall wellbeing. 10 S hared activities can help build a bond between someone living with dementia and their carer. A wife walking with her husband in the park, like they used to, or a father enjoying time at the pub with his son, can rebuild a closeness that has been affected by the challenges of dementia.

THE FRIENDS OF ST MARY’S CONTRIBUTE £27K TO REPAIRS TO HADLEIGH CHURCH The Friends of St Mary’s Church, Hadleigh have just contributed £27,107 towards repairs to the stonework holding the windows of Hadleigh’s famous medieval church. Natural wear and tear over the centuries has resulted in some of the windows now requiring substantial maintenance and repair work. The need for these repairs was established in 2013, but the funds for the work were not available. Hadleigh’s Parochial Church Council (PCC) therefore looked to the Friends to help raise the funds for this essential work. “This was quite a challenge for the Friends,” explains the charity’s chairman John Hunt. “We were a very small group relying mainly on membership fees and small events. Clearly we had to up our game and preparations were put in hand to launch a major appeal to include donations, legacies and corporate contributions. “The Friends have received some very generous donations recently and we are pleased to have been able to make this £27,000 payment. However, the upcoming repair and maintenance requirements for St Mary’s are so substantial that we need to redouble our efforts.” The Friends of St Mary’s Church, Hadleigh is a charitable organisation dedicated to preserving the architectural heritage of Hadleigh’s magnificent historic church and deanery tower.

MESSING ABOUT ON THE WATER Are you ready for the annual splashdown with Hadleigh Duck & Raft Race? This major community event is organised by Hadleigh Scout Group and takes place on Sunday, June 4. Now in its tenth year, the race is getting bigger and wetter every time. The raft race starts at around 10am, culminating in the final splash-off at around 12.30pm. In the midst of this fun, the flotilla of multiple plastic ducks sets off over the weir, battling for a place across the finish line. The party afterwards, as per tradition, is at The George. The ducks are all in training under the guidance of Spirit Fitness who are regulars at Scout HQ and previous rafting champions are talking of this year being a classic. If you have already been, you’ll need no persuasion – remember 10am start at Toppesfield Bridge. If you haven’t been, bring your family to one of Hadleigh’s annual highlights. What better way to spend a Sunday in June? If you want to buy a duck, talk to a Scout or pop into The George. If you feel the urge to enter a raft team, contact the race secretary on 07545 545744. 6

CONSTABLE COUNTRY MEDICAL PRACTICE – APRIL 2017
HIDDEN GARDENS OF HADLEIGH
GP+ Service Suffolk GP Federation provides out-of-hours services on behalf of the majority of practices in Suffolk. It operates from a number of sites, the nearest to the practice being Stowmarket (Stow Health), Ipswich (Riverside) and Felixstowe (Felixstowe General Hospital). Typically, services are offered from 6.30 to 9pm during the week and through the day on Saturday and Sunday. Fifteen minute GP and nurse practitioner appointments are available but can only be booked by the practice or other healthcare organisations. At the time of booking, patients will need to provide their consent to share their medical notes with the clinician they see. This service is proving to be very popular as it relieves pressure on the practice on busy days and also provides patients with alternative options for addressing a medical problem. You may be offered an appointment with GP+ or you can ask the receptionist for current availability.
Saturday, June 10, 11am-5pm
Repeat Prescriptions Please note that it may take the practice up to 72 hours to process a repeat prescription. When issued they can be sent immediately to the patient’s nominated pharmacy but it may take up to 72 hours for the pharmacy to have your medication ready for collection, depending on workload and the availability of the items required. In the majority of cases your prescription will be processed and ready for collection much sooner, but please allow ample time by ensuring the practice receives repeat prescription slips a week in advance of when the items are required. Nurse Practitioners I’m delighted to announce that we have an additional nurse practitioner joining the practice. June will be joining us at the end of April. She is an experienced nurse practitioner who also specialises in the treatment of diabetes. Our two nurse practitioners, June and Sarah, are able to address a wide range of medical conditions. On contacting the practice our reception team can advise patients whether it is appropriate for them to be seen a nurse practitioners or if they need to see a GP. Wheelchair The practice has wheelchairs available at both Capel and East Bergholt to assist patients with mobility problems getting in and out of the practice. Unfortunately, one of the chairs at East Bergholt has broken and is not repairable. If you have a wheelchair you no longer need, and it is not on loan from the NHS, the practice could make very good use of it. Training Days A reminder that in 2017 the practice will be closed from 1pm on the following dates for staff training: Thursday, May 18 and Wednesday, June 7. On these afternoons the doors will be closed so please ensure any prescriptions are picked up well beforehand. If you phone the practice the recorded message will ask you to ring 111 for medical assistance if your problem cannot wait until the next day. Practice Manager Pete Keeble
A wide variety of gardens both large and small. Entrance to gardens by programme obtainable from St Mary’s Church, Idler Bookshop or any participating gardens. Entrance £5 / Children (12-18) £3 Refreshments including ploughman’s lunches and stalls in the church. For more details please visit: www.hadleighgardens.co.uk
CONSTABLE COUNTRY PATIENT PARTICIPATION GROUP Annual General Meeting Our Annual General Meeting will take place on Thursday, June 1 at Capel Methodist Church in The Street. There will be light refreshments from 7pm and the meeting will start at 7.30pm. We’ll be reporting back about our activity in the last year and there will be an opportunity for you to talk to us on an individual basis about your experience with the practice. We have invited a number of organisations to the event including : • ActivLives, which runs exercise classes for the over 50s • 4YP which aims to improve the health and wellbeing of 12-25 year olds in Suffolk • OneLife which provides stop smoking services, adult and child weight management and NHS health checks • Sue Ryder to talk about their new dementia service • Capel Parish Nursing Scheme • Everyone is invited and we look forward to seeing you. Men’s Health Talk We enjoyed a fascinating evening listening to Professor Chris Booth, a retired consultant urologist. He said men were particularly bad at seeking medical help when there was a problem. Poor diet, excess weight, smoking, alcohol and poverty all contributed to lower life expectancy for men. He talked in particular about the need for a national screening programme for prostate cancer. Early diagnosis has made a huge difference to survival rates in other European countries where they have routine screening. He also said that ‘plumbing problems’ can be a sign of cardiovascular disease. You can ask for a PSA test if you are between the age of 50 and 75. Professor Booth’s charity is called CHAPS. It aims to raise awareness of health services directly targeted at men’s needs to enable them to take care of their own health and wellbeing. You’ll find more information at: www.chaps.uk.com Collection for Sat Shergill (former pharmacist at Capel St Mary) Thank you for your generous contributions to this collection and to Drayton Insurance (formerly Mallwood) for hosting the collection box. The total in loose cash came to £305. We didn’t open any of the cards so there may well be extra money in those. Sat was delighted and very touched and will be writing to say thank you. He is now working with a practice in Wembley and this has cut his commuting time down considerably, allowing him to spend more time with his wife and young daughter.

NEWS / OUT & ABOUT SAFER NEIGHBOURHOOD TEAM
LISTENING TO HADLEIGH COMMUNITY CHOIR
Now the clocks have sprung forward for spring, the weather is getting better, days are getting longer and people are spending more time enjoying the outdoors, we would ask that you remain vigilant to crime. Before you go out and leave your house or car, check those windows that you opened to allow the fresh air through the house, check that door that you left ajar and check those garden tools or toys that you left out. Have you made it easy for that chance criminal and left any insecure items as an open invitation for a chance burglar. The reason we ask you to STOP, CHECK, LOCK, is that over recent weeks some of our smaller villages have been targets for thefts from sheds and other out buildings. With this in mind, Hadleigh Safer Neighbourhood Team is holding Community Engagements in various villages throughout Babergh with the aim in offering crime prevention advice and reassurance. We will be advertising these events on Twitter and Facebook and in parish magazines so look out for one near to you. Last month we were in Shotley for several hours with our mobile police station at the village vall. Colleagues patrolled the village on foot and incorporated speed enforcement during the day. We spoke to local residents, listening and responding to their concerns and issues. While I have this opportunity, I would like to give you all updates on recent crimes that have occurred in our area and the work that has been carried out: • Operation Fireside: Burglaries around East Ipswich and Shotley. A detective inspector has been appointed to oversee this, two people arrested, one warrant executed for stolen goods and enquiries ongoing. • Burglaries in Bentley: One person given a 10 year prison sentence. • Holbrook Burglaries: One person on Court Bail until March 30. • Series of ram raids on February 8, including Hadleigh and Capel. One person has been arrested and is on bail, two others are being sought. • Anti-social behaviour in Hadleigh: Four young people have been dealt with and referred to the Youth Offending Service. • Pinewood Burglaries: One person on bail waiting for a charging decision from the Crown Prosecution Service. As you can see, Suffolk Police in our area have been very busy dealing with incidents with positive outcomes. I would encourage all readers to: • Follow us on TWITTER @HadleighPolice • Join up to POLICE CONNECT at: www.suffolk.police.uk/policeconnect • Obtain statistics from: www.police.uk As always, Hadleigh SNT is at Hadleigh Police Station and can be contacted at: hadleigh.snt@suffolk.pnn.police.uk Emergency: 999 Non-Emergency: 101 Until next time, PC1220 Garrod, Hadleigh SNT, Magdalen Road, Hadleigh IP7 5AD

Musical director Simon Thompson and his wife Sarah, who sings in the choir, tell us about upcoming concerts. Simon: Well, we have a busy time over the next few months with our own concert in the summer and two events where we are providing musical entertainment. Firstly, we’ll be at Layham Church on May 13. We’re planning something light-hearted but really varied with songs from the whole choir, smaller groups and solos, with a few different instruments playing along. Sarah: And don’t forget the readings, some good funny ones. So we won’t need any of your bad jokes, thank you! Simon: Hmm... anyway the theme is spring and it’s in aid of church funds. Sarah: More importantly, for £7 you get drinks and nibbles afterwards too. If we’re lucky with the weather it will be magical to be out in the twilight with the flowers and blossom. Simon: Talking of flowers, the next concert is on the day of Hadleigh Open Gardens, June 10, and forms part of the Flowers and Art Festival. As well as the gardens and art exhibitions, we’ll be rounding off the day with a concert in the URC with the Elmsett Silver Band. What a cultural feast! Sarah: I’ve noticed you coming up with a few garden-related songs. Hopefully Flowers in the Rain won’t be too apt! Simon: So those two will be fairly light, mostly unison singing which makes it good fun to perform. Then we’ll be pulling out all the stops for our own concert in July with lots of full harmony pieces and hopefully a few solos. And not forgetting Graham who will be doing his usual fantastic tinkling of the ivories. Sarah: I think people will be a little bit surprised by one or two numbers. I think we have a very varied selection from classical to, well, really up to date. Great fun at rehearsals and keeps us on our toes. Simon: Well, let’s not give too much away. People will just have to come and see – or hear – for themselves. EVENT DETAILS Music for a Spring Evening: Layham Church, Saturday, May 13, 7.30pm. Tickets £7 in advance or on the door.

CAPEL LIBRARY May sees the real start of lighter evenings and it makes you want to do different things. We have been inspired by the latest series of Masterchef and the sultry melt in the mouth dishes that the chefs have created. Don’t have any inspiration? Check out some of the cookery books on offer, either on the shelf or on catalogue and give it a go. I’m sure that there is a Masterchef in you waiting to come out – be inspired! NEW CLUB Capel Creators, a brick building club for all the family, comes to Capel Library on April 29, 10.30am-12.30pm. Budding builders of all ages are invited to come along and create a brick-based structure based on the theme for the month. For 50p per person you also get a cold drink and a biscuit. A prize will be given to the most imaginative creation. We have the bricks, you have the skills – let’s see what you can make. If you make whatever comes into your head, that’s great, free-play is also welcome. Under 8s must be accompanied by an adult. Capel Creators will meet once a month. Look out for posters advertising the next date. REGULAR CLUBS Baby Bounce will meet every Tuesday at 2pm, but not May 30 due to school half term. Come along to shake instruments and sing nursery rhymes. Open to all children aged 0-5 and their parents, grandparents and carers. The library book group meets on Friday, May 19 at 2.30pm. Do come along and share the latest book. If you haven’t been before, the group is very friendly. You may wish to choose a book for the group to share; we are always looking for new titles to discuss. Minecraft Club meets on Sundays, May 7 and 21, 10.30am-12.30pm. Under 8s must be accompanied by an adult. We kindly ask all borrowers to bring in their library card when they visit to enable us to issue books and to search online for new titles for reservation. Don’t forget that we sell stamps and book tokens of any denomination and accept good quality second hand books for sale. ADVANCE NOTICE We shall once again be offering the children’s Summer Reading Scheme throughout the summer holidays. If you would like to volunteer, please speak with us and fill out the necessary forms. We very much appreciate all the help that our volunteers give us through this busy time of the year.
FRIENDS OF CAPEL LIBRARY The Community Cinema is going from strength to strength with pretty much full houses for our last films. In May we are showing Deepwater Horizon, based on the 2010 Deepwater Horizon explosion and oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The film stars Mark Wahlberg and caused its director Peter Berg quite a few problems when BP would not collaborate with him. This all action film gained good reviews on its release. Book early to get a seat. It’s always on the third Tuesday of the month, doors open at 7pm. One spin off from the Community Cinema has been an increase in the numbers joining both the friends and the 100 club. The prizes have been increased to £20, £10 and £7, and there will be bonus months when we offer more £20 prizes. Together with volunteers, Jackie and her staff continue to offer new experiences for children. The Minecraft Club has been successfully relaunched and now there will also be a Lego club. If you have any Lego getting under your feet that you would like to donate, please let Jackie know. The Lego club meets for the first time on April 29 between 10.30am and 12.30pm. If you want to know what the friends are up to, we now have a Facebook page; just look for Friends of Capel Library. Thanks to Trevor for setting this up, we’ve had lots of hits already. Watch out for us too at the fun day early in June. We will have lots of books for you to browse in our distinctive gazebo. The lucky winners this month are Steve Lodge £20, Ann Powell £10 and Lynda Ward £7.

SCHOOLS / SPORT We hope you all had a lovely Easter break and enjoyed the lovely weather. Our garden at playgroup looked lovely on our return with the apple tree in blossom. It was lovely to see so many older friends at our Easter activity morning in the holiday. We enjoyed seeing you all, we hope you had a good time making all the Easter crafts and finding the clues around the village to complete the egg hunt. This term we will be looking at who makes up our community and the part we play. We will be visiting the park to look at our environment and have visitors to the setting. We are now enrolling for September 2017 – July 2018. Layham Playgroup is a feeder group for all three primary schools in Hadleigh and the neighbouring villages. Government funding is available for three year olds and in certain cases for some two year olds. If you are looking to creatively occupy your two to four-year-old and would like an information pack or to arrange a visit, please contact us: 07999 866419 / admin@layhamplaygroup.co.uk Our toddler group takes place every Wednesday morning during term time from 9.30-11am and is open to all children aged 0-5 years. We end the morning with song time, when Sleeping Bunnies is always our favourite!
ROBIN’S NEWS Baby Bears As the days grow longer we have taken advantage of the warmer evenings and enjoyed dancing in our cosy garden. Through the daytime sunshine, the Baby Bears have been outside exploring and have helped to plant many seeds. Some have already sprouted and we are excited to watch them grow. Our water trays have been happily splashed in and we have added lots of different items which the Baby Bears love to investigate. We have also been trying to hop like the Easter bunny, giggling as we watch each other jumping about. Toddling Tigers We have been very busy with Easter crafts and have made so many things including Easter bunny headbands, painted chicks and bunnies and an Easter bunny collage. We have been colouring, baked bunny biscuits, made nest cakes and even found time to make and eat our own mini egg cupcakes! We are also very excited and looking forward to our planned water week and animal week both coming soon. Gruffalos The Gruffalos had a busy month preparing for Mother’s Day. They each made a lovely flower card using painted hands to create the petals. We also had a busy week of colour mixing, experimenting with the prime colours and mixing with hands and paint brushes. Spring has been of great interest to the Gruffalos when playing outside. We have been looking at and listening to the birds, been on flower hunts and watched the frogs in the pond. Our preposition play was amazing; we explored what we know about behind, onto, in front, inside and beside.

EAST BERGHOLT UNITED FOOTBALL CLUB With the weather being kind this season there were only a couple of fixtures through March for the First Team. A win and a draw kept them in a mid-table position. They have continued to find penalties difficult to convert, but skipper Ben Bibby did score in a penalty shootout when he deservedly was selected for the SIL representative team alongside teammate Gary Hammond. Two wins and two defeats for the Reserves have maintained third place in League A. The semi-final of the Goals of Ipswich Cup, where they meet Benhall St Mary Reserves, is now approaching quickly. There have been lots of goals in the A Team’s games. It looks as if it will go to the wire as the team looks to maintain their League B status. UPCOMING FIXTURES 1st Team / Senior Division Sat, April 29: Leiston St Margarets (A) Sat, May 6: Stanton (A) Reserves / League A Sat, April 29: Coplestonians Res (H) A Team / League B Sat, April 29: Benhall St Mary Res (A) Fixtures are subject to change. To confirm, please refer to the fixtures website and chose the appropriate competition: http://fulltime.thefa. com/Index.do?league=4358069 We are always looking for people who can help the club as committee member, whether it be on the playing side or just in the background. If you would like to sponsor the club in some capacity we would also be delighted to hear from you. Club strips, dugouts, banners or boards on matchdays all offer potential exposure for your business while supporting a local organisation. Steve Butcher, stevebutcher55@btinternet.com
EAST BERGHOLT BOWLS CLUB Congratulations to the carpet bowls team on finishing in second position in the Winter League East, Division 3. This should guarantee promotion to Division 2 next season. This is a great effort considering the team had the loss of two or three experienced players before the season started. The introduction of several new members who gelled well, played their part in achieving this success. John and Shirley Mann were the winners of the Club Pairs one day annual event, defeating Linda Bestow and Robbie Goodchild in the final. Roll-ups continue on Monday evenings throughout the summer at Holton Village Hall, starting at 7pm. In March the touring team of outdoor bowlers had a great time on the Algarve, although the weather was more English than Portuguese! At least four matches were unaffected by the wind and rain, apart from a 10 minute delay starting one match when the heavens opened for five minutes. In all the years of touring Portugal this was the first time that we have had bad weather, followed by a five hour delay coming home at Faro airport. The outdoor green opened on April 15 and by now we should be well into league and cup games. We have eight league teams playing every night and one afternoon, from Monday to Friday. Roll-ups take place on Sunday mornings starting at 10am and Tuesday afternoons from 2pm. Newcomers are welcome to join in at these sessions. Bowls provided, just a pair of flat shoes needed. For more information please contact me by email. Melvyn Powell: melpowell46@gmail.com 17

admin work expected of me, or done things in a timely way because I have gone with the flow and met with someone and given them time. Others, I might have unintentionally hurt, either because of being “busy, busy, busy” or another person came into the flow of my life and someone else was overlooked. I don’t always get the balance right. Come to think of it, I’m meant to be on holiday; the rest of the day is my wife’s and daughter’s in the beautiful Cornish countryside!
LOOK AT YOURSELF AND LAUGH! I find myself in Cornwall the weekend before Easter on a few days break, normally reserved for after Easter. The weather is amazing. I spent the first five years of my life in Cornwall. My wife’s family roots are here and we have met up with her cousins and other friends who are still in the area, some of whom we haven’t seen in over 25 years. We are staying in a friend’s flat overlooking the River Fal Estuary and I always love looking through other people’s bookshelves. I spotted eight Bill Bryson books, whom my son had recommended but I hadn’t got around to reading. I’m loving it. His observations of people and in particular the British, makes you want to laugh. I was warned not to read the book in public “for fear of emitting loud snorts”! The evening after meeting our cousins, I read a chapter that described several of the things we had done that very day in catching up 25 years and I laughed! Bill, who is from the USA, has spent most of his adult life in the UK, and can get us to look at our lives and laugh at the quirky things we sometime do, me included! I think we sometimes take ourselves and life too seriously. Jesus came that we might have life and life in all its fullness. He went to a wedding party and was far from a party pooper. He was accused of mixing with the wrong crowd and of not taking the disciplines of the faith seriously! In our Bible reading on the day we met with our cousins, it suggested “going with the flow”, connecting with people and “learning the unforced rhythms of grace”. Today’s mantra is often “busy, busy, busy” and we miss living life with people. I love my job, I have quite a bit of flexibility and every day is different. Those I work with, I sometimes frustrate, because I haven’t done all the 18
