As I begin my letter to you this month, hazy sunshine is breaking through a grey, cloudy sky. How we long for brightness at this time of year. Our churches met together on Ash Wednesday this week to prepare for Lent, a time when we try to be more aware of ourselves and to change the things that we know let us down. One of the things that I think is most difficult, is to accept those people who in looks or ways are most unlike ourselves. We can see this in the newspapers from the Chelsea fans who pushed someone off a train because of the colour of his skin, to those who persist in this country and throughout Europe in stigmatising those born as Jews. In our personal lives there are all sorts of things that we find difficult to accept as well. Sometimes outward things like dress or ways of acting or speaking that we can find irritating. And of course we only ever see the outside of each other. The innermost secrets of our hearts are usually shared if ever, with those who are closest to us. Quite often when I take funerals, even family members have little or no information about those they have known all of their lives. But just like the sun breaking through in winter, so we are warmed by those who spread love and acceptance among us. I know several who are a constant inspiration to me - those who welcome others as friends with affectionate concern. Young and old we all like to be with those people and we all feel better for their company. Perhaps we can encourage one another to spread that warmth, and give some light-hearted pleasure as we brace ourselves against the winter winds of March. With love and prayers, Carolyn

The funeral will be held at St Marys Church, Blakesley, on Thursday 5th March at 3pm. There will be a service followed by the burial, and the family would be very happy for you to join them for refreshments at Blakesley Village Hall.

..............is now open every day for anyone who would like to visit. For those who havent been do come and take a look. St Mary's Church dates from 1275, but is still the youngest Church in our Benefice! In that year, the first vicar was presented by the Knights Hospitaller of St John who were based at what became Blakesley Hall. The Church was extended around 1500 when the aisles and Lady Chapel were added. Interesting features include a brass of a knight named Matthew Swettenham who was Bow Bearer to Henry IV, the Watts Memorial which was defaced during the English Civil War, a beautiful alabaster reredos of the Last Supper and the Millennium Window which depicts the gift of the Holy Spirit which was a gift from the village to the Church to mark the year 2000, which is of such quality as to be of national importance. Welcome leaflets are in the Church and a new guide book is in production.

This play, written exclusively for Farthingstone and the surrounding villages will, after fierce audience pressure, contain a number of bedroom scenes. Performances will take place on Friday 6th March at 8.00pm, Sat 7th March at 3.00pm and at 8.00pm doors open half an hour before. Tickets prices are Adults 6 Children 3 and are available from Dorothy FitzGerald tel 361646 or email [email protected].

Towards the end of last year I embarked on a mini adventure to try and learn Hindi in the lakeside City of Udaipur in southern Rajasthan. I had my own apartment adjacent to a small guesthouse in an area of the city called Lalghat close to the lake. This part of the city is made up of narrow streets and alleyways consisting of a jumble of houses restaurants, hotels, little shops selling everything from tourist tat to classy jewellery, general stores and all these little streets were liberally sprinkled with mongrel dogs, well nourished rats and general detritus. The alleyway leading to my lodgings was no exception. One very growly mongrel took to guarding his territory from my entrance steps but a confidently uttered "shoo" did the trick and he would amble off allowing me to pass unchallenged. My guesthouse hostess, Mary, conducted my daily Hindi lessons in her kitchen where various members of the family were often slumped on a sofa or the floor to catch up on sleep. More often than not, Mary's 32 year old son would regain consciousness, proffer unhelpful (in my view) comments on my grasp or otherwise of Hindi before lapsing back into snoring somnolence. Mary was endlessly patient as I struggled to string together impossible sounding words in an order alien to an English speaker. Sometimes my evening lesson would evolve into a cooking class and I would be allowed to help prepare the supper, thereby increasing my vocabulary and my knowledge of Indian cookery. From time to time, Robin, Mary's husband would invite me to ride pillion on his scooter on expeditions to the vegetable market. What fun that was as we wove our way through streets teeming with tuk tuks, handcarts, pedestrians, cyclists, cows etc to the most colourful market where shiny fruit and veg were piled high and presided over by tough looking Rajasthani women driving a hard bargain. I gradually became confident enough to venture to a chai shop across the lake around 7am every morning for a glass of hot, sweet masala chai with some of the locals, mostly old men who regarded me as something of a curiosity! This set me up nicely for Mary's breakfast of porridge, boiled eggs and fresh papaya before my lesson. The weather was glorious throughout my month long stay. Very early on I thought how nice it would be to study my Hindi verbs up on my roof terrace in the late afternoon as the sun started to sink behind the Lake Palace. However, no sooner had I settled myself up there than I was joined by a large Langur monkey with scary yellow teeth. I retreated downstairs at speed leaving he or she to enjoy the Lake Palace view and sunset. Quite often a whole troop of Langurs would gallivant across the roof tops so I never went up there again as one would not want to get in their way. During the Hindu Festival of Diwali I took a car and driver to visit friends on their farm near Kota. The highlight of their Diwali celebrations was an interesting ceremony involving decorated cows, large quantities of their dung, ladies transforming the aforementioned poo into artistic shapes, dancing and chanting around their handiwork only for it to be blasted sky high by firecrackers placed therin. Fortunately I had been forewarned and stood well back. I spent most of my evenings in a nearby cafe in the company of a delightfully eccentric British expat whose ancestor had been Governor General of India twice. She had a fund of risqu stories and was an excellent source of local knowledge. We became good friends and I hope to be able to introduce her to the delights of Adstone later this year.

On Wed 4th February, we were given a challenging talk and practical demonstration of growing vegetables from Mr John Branham of the NVS (National Vegetable Society) He brought with him a wonderful display of a wide range of vegetables and I am sure that we all went away, with food for thought. Our next meeting is on Wed 4th March when Ann Bird, who is a world renowned expert on every aspect of growing and enjoying roses, will be giving us an interesting illustrated talk.

Even though we were unable to field a team for the January evening, the event was actually cancelled and unfortunately, the next quiz was cancelled too, which was due on Wed 18th Feb.

The Parish Council has recently been given two documents relating to the history of the village: - Maidford 1718 - 88 - The effects Of Parliamentary Inclosure on Life in a Northamptonshire Village - The Manorial Lordship of Maidford Halse Both of these documents can be borrowed from Trevor Key (860025) if you are interested

Hello again. Our March meeting is the start of another 'New Year' for the Club. We're keeping the yearly sub at 20 and we'd love you to join us! But, if you prefer to pop along on a 'pay as you go' kind of thing, it will cost you just 3 as a visitor for most of our meetings. The club is open to all and we've some exciting things lined up for the next months ... some informative ... some entertaining ... a safari adventure ... metal detecting ... a local brewery ... tips on how to be safe ... to name just a few! But, back to this month and we have a gentleman coming with his presentation of 'Welcome to my World'. William is a retired butler and has spent thirty year working with the Royal family and a variety of stars and was a top butler in London. Gosh! what secrets he must know ... hope he tell us some! He is said to give a highly entertaining presentation, taking us through the highs and lows of his work ... what the butler saw ... or heard ... can't wait! So of course, start of a fresh year and a butler to entertain us, there has to be a glass of wine to help the evening along doesn't there ...? I need also to say thank you so much to everybody who was able to pop along to the British Heart Foundation fund raiser last month. The raffle table looked absolutely smashing with all the lovely red prizes you donated ... and so many prizes ... enough for all to win at least one ...then the sharing of tickets because there were so many to go around! A lovely evening and we were able to donate 72 which was then gift aided. This was made up from the raffle and a donation from the club. So, hope to see you on the 9th March and no, we don't have a colour theme this time ... just bring yourselves ... male ... female ... possible secrets to be revealed ... glass of wine or juice ... we would love you to come if you can. You can contact me on 830517 or [email protected] Look forward to seeing you at 2nd Monday Club. C.H.

At the February meeting, our visitors from Waterside Nursery provided a wealth of useful information on creating and maintaining a pond as well as ideas for beautiful planting; if you are fortunate enough to be going to Chelsea Flower Show this May, look out for their stand in the floral marquee. Next months meeting will be held on Wednesday, 18th March at 7.30 pm in the village hall when there will be a talk on Herbs for Health and Well-being. There will be a plant stall with a selection of herbs for purchase. The Flower and Produce Show - this will take place alongside the village fete on Saturday, 4th July. You may like to know some of the classes now so that you can get sowing in good time - sweet peas, roses, a flower medley, tomatoes, courgettes, broad beans, soft fruit and peas will all feature. There will be a special class for the largest vegetable and this will be judged on size and not by weight. There will also be a prize for the overall winner in the growing category. Childrens classes will be divided in to 2 age groups: 6 and under and 7 - 10 year olds. The growing challenge will be a plant grown from seed and presented in a pot no larger than 20 cm in diameter with a choice of either a cherry tomato or a green bean and it will be judged on overall merit. Other classes for children include a cress head, a miniature garden in a foil tray, baking and a model insect. There will be 2 photography classes, one for adults and one for 8 - 16 year olds. Classes for cake making and preserves will also feature. The Show schedule will be available at the beginning of May.

I dont know if you know this but theres a huge amount of research being done on health and health issues at the moment. All over the world, practically every major university has teams of researchers looking into this and that aspect of health, especially with a population that is aging. I try to keep up with this research (a mammoth task!) and there are some very interesting findings. As a result, this month Ive got some good news and some bad news for all of us. The GOOD NEWS is that we are living longer. Scientists predict that of all the children born today, one third of them will live to be a hundred (thatll keep the Monarch busy writing telegrams). But for the rest of us, life expectancy is increasing and increasing. And thats a pleasant thought. However the BAD NEWS is that, as a population we are getting fatter, and one of the side effects of getting fatter, is that as we get older, were more likely to get all kinds of debilitating illnesses the list doesnt make for particularly pleasant reading cancer, heart disease, strokes, diabetes, arthritis - it goes on and on! So lets think about it for a minute. Putting the Good News and the Bad News together, were going to live a lot longer but well spend the last years of our lives suffering (experts say it could be 10 years). That means well be living but well be in pain for a lot of the time, we wont be able to do the things we used to. In short, things are going to be very miserable. Now if thats all Id got to say, I can understand how you might just tell me to shut up and go away. But the fact of the matter is, Ive got an answer theres a way to contradict this awful prediction. And the answer is EXERCISE. And you dont have to take my word for it. The results of a massive research exercise has just been published by Cambridge University. It involved surveying a massive 334,000 people. And the researchers concluded that lack of exercise was TWICE as dangerous to health as obesity. The message is clear. If you want to live a long happy active life, you MUST do some exercise. Of course, its easier not to, of course its easier to just sit on the sofa and do nothing, of course its easier to be lazy. I know that as much as anyone. But just take a minute to think of the benefits. And thats why Im in business, to help people who dont find exercise either easy or palatable. We make it fun and interesting, and more importantly we give the motivation and encouragement to keep doing it. So why not take your first step today? You wont regret it.
