From the Editor
Phil Smith and Charlie Mann
Hello and welcome to our August issue of Village Voices.
RDA Open Day, Saturday 11th July
Living in a small village - or even better, a network of small villages like ours is hugely rewarding. Strong community spirit creates a real feeling of
togetherness. It’s heart-warming to see neighbours coming together for the
benefit of their area, as well as local groups and local charities.
Whether it’s a village event (like Hollesley Fete, turn to page 4 for our special
report) or volunteering to help and support others (like those at the RDA) the
sense of community and purpose in our small slice of Suffolk is brilliant.

Well, what a great fete.
Thanks to the people of
Hollesley and surrounding
villages for making it the
best fete ever. The
weather was perfect with
the sun shining all day.
Hurrah! With over 30
stalls, it was the largest
to date with lots of new
attractions.
We had both a record
attendance and a record
income of £4,603.

Church Letter
You may recall that over the last
couple of years, the C of E
churches of the peninsula have
been undertaking a review of their
ministry. We began by looking to
the future and towards the end of
last year, all the churches
considered – and accepted – a
proposal which we have called our
2020 vision. Now begins the work
Bawdsey church was the venue for an inspiring
of implementing that vision over
display by Bawdsey School dance club at the
the next five years or so.

Dear Friends,
flower festival this July
In terms of structural changes, when Rev’d Judith Andrews retires, I will take
on responsibility for Shottisham and Sutton, in addition to the five parishes I
currently serve – Alderton, Bawdsey, Boyton, Hollesley and Ramsholt. In the
short-term, it is the intention to maintain the current pattern and frequency of
services and other activities. Alderton and Ramsholt, Shottisham and Sutton
already work closely together as pairs of parishes and it is hoped to develop
this further. Hollesley will continue to be the hub or mother church; it is already
the venue for many activities which are open to all the surrounding villages, not
just Hollesley.
In September, a group of people from all 7 parishes will meet to consider what
activities/projects we might undertake in the next year or two. These will then
be presented at an open meeting, which anyone can attend, to hear about the
suggestions, make their views known and create a shortlist of three projects
which will be considered jointly by the PCCs. Watch this space!
First, though, we want to celebrate all the good things that God has given us
and encouraged us in. It is so easy to forget just how much is already
happening and how involved so many people are in helping each other, whether
as a town pastor, volunteering at the prison, caring for the elderly or
encouraging our children and young people – to name but a very few.
So, on Sunday 30th August, all the churches of the peninsula will join together
at Orford church at 11am for a service of celebration and commitment. Some of
our elders – Joy, Judy & Gill from this cluster of parishes – will be
commissioned to serve for a further 3 years and we will recommit ourselves to
working together as a team on the peninsula to serve God and our
communities. Do join us if you can.
Wishing you every blessing,
Ruth Hatchett

Hollesley School - our last report
This year we have been very
lucky to have had such
great experiences with the
school; we have thoroughly
enjoyed them all. One of our
favourite trips was when we
performed outside Snape
Maltings for the Aldeburgh
Festival. It was a great
chance to play our
instruments in this amazing
setting and we also watched
the BBC Symphony
Orchestra as well as performances by other schools.
Contributed
This is our last report as we will be moving up to High School in September, so
we’ve decided to recap on some of our favourite trips and activities.
Some of our artwork on display
Another reason why we went to this event was because it was the Ten Pieces
Take-over Day and we have been working on the Ten Pieces at school during
this year. Every child in the school made pieces of art work that were shown
while we we performed. We were also filmed and saw ourselves on the Look
East news that evening. It was a great opportunity.
Another brilliant opportunity was being able to act on stage at the Wolsey
Theatre. This was the 9th year the school has performed there and each time
we have had a different topic to base our performance on. This time the theme
was Mystery at the Museum. We all had lots of fun and enjoyed the experience.
We would both love to have the chance to perform at the Wolsey again after we
leave Hollesley School.
We have had many other opportunities during this year including taking part in
sports tournaments such as: cross country running at the Royal Hospital
School; cricket; football; rounders and much more. We always have so much
fun and we try to do our best (and that is the main thing).
We are a very lucky school and we will always remember this year, our last at
Hollesley. Even though we won’t be at Hollesley School anymore, we will be
performing with Trumpet Club for the last time at the Alderton Fete on the 8th
August. We hope you can come and watch us.
School Reporters: Bethany Fisher and James Palmer
Editor’s note - the Village Voices team would like to thank Bethany and
James for their excellent articles. We’ve really enjoyed reading them.
We wish everyone in Year 6 lots of luck as they move on to Farlingaye.

you will join us and have a go.

It was a very pleasant surprise to

Peter mentioned Bells and Buns last month. We look forward to bringing you a
update on that in our next report. Don’t forget though you can come and watch
and have a go any Friday from 7.30pm. Probably no buns (unless it's
someone's birthday) but always a warm welcome. Do come and join us!

10-week classes start in September at

Hollesley Judo Club News
80 members of Hollesley Judo Club held
an annual cake sale and sponsored Judo
throw, raising £1,500 for Help the
Heroes.
There was also a raffle and cake
competition, and Sue Morgan, H4H
co-ordinator, brought down a stall with
lots of goodies for sale. £107 was raised
by James Palmer and friends at Hollesley
Bring your parents to Judo evening
Primary school who held a cake sale of
their own to add to the total amount raised. Thank you to everyone at school
who donated cakes and helped to make it happen. Well done to you all!
Julie Jolliffe
The sponsored throw saw 6 teams throw
each other continuously for 10 minutes to
try and beat the previous record...and we
did! The total was 1,651 throws, which
was brilliant. After all that effort we had a
fun session which was rewarded by
buying cakes from the selection donated
by everyone.
Thanks must also go to everyone who took part and helped out, and supported
us: we raised a fantastic amount of money. A good day all round!
Bring Your Parents to Judo Evening
Oh, what fun we had! Mums and Dads joined their children for a fun session.
They partnered their child doing all the things the children do, from cartwheels
(some a bit dodgy, but there was a lot of laughter!), to throwing and holding
techniques, followed by Judo games. It was an opportunity to take part instead
of just watching from the side lines. All the parents really enjoyed themselves,
although a few admitted to being a bit stiff for the next few days! As this was
such a success we are planning on running a parents beginners group for those
that enjoyed it so much. Well done all of you, great sports.
Other recent events at Judo club have included gradings and competitions.
Grading successes go to Matthew Palmer to 6th Mon Yellow belt, James Palmer
6th Mon, Daniel Ball gained his Orange belt 7th Mon and Cameron Green
gained his senior Green belt 3rd Kyu. Well done to all of you!
Judo club is at Tunstall Community centre on Thursday evenings and Rock
Barracks on Mondays. The next beginners course is in September. If anyone
is interested in joining please contact us (01394 410483) for more details.

Boyton Film Show
In February 1995, Alan Bookbinder,
the producer of BBC's Great
Journeys series, agreed to commission our Empty Quarter film. The
film was shown on BBC2 in 1995.
Excerpts of two contemporary
reviews give an idea of what we did.
Radio Times:
The Empty Quarter of Arabia is one
of three last wilderness areas to be
mapped. Sandy Gall sets out in the
steps of Wilfred Thesiger, the great
explorer, across sand dunes 500
feet high, and the vast quicksand
known as Umm as Samim (Mother
of Poison). The temperature in the
shade is 50 degrees celsius and it
has not rained for 30 years. The
expertise of Sandy's Bedu guides
and his trusty camel Farha are vital.
Coming Home - A film shot in
Boyton and Hollesley starring Bill
Treacher from Eastenders
The Empty Quarter An adventure film starring Sandy Gall
and our own Robin Hitchcock as they travel
across Oman and Saudi Arabia
Daily Telegraph:
The Empty Quarter became less
empty with the arrival of Sandy Gall, a former newsreader, off stretching his
legs accompanied by his military chum, Robin Hitchcock, who was described as
‘an old Arabian hand’. Their plan was to cross the world's largest desert...
Please do come to the film show on the 26th September, where I will reveal
more about the problems, subterfuge and downright treachery surrounding the
expedition. The photography of this hauntingly beautiful land is outstanding.

Riding for the Disabled
From the horse’s mouth
What a day! Now we know what all the fuss has been
about. All the shampooing and brushing until we
shone, not to mention having our hooves oiled and
manes plaited! We can tell you, as new kids on the block, we’ve been quite
astounded at the attention we’ve received since our arrival here at RDA.
Yes it was our Open Day and
we knew we were in for an
exciting time when Dolly
pulled up in our posh
carriage, from which stepped
Simon Barnes and his son,
to open the festivities. You
may remember, as a
journalist, he wrote an article about our activities in the
6th July edition of the East
Anglian, very timely given
our current circumstances.
Pony rides were much enjoyed at the Open Day
Phil Smith and Charlie Mann
Oh yes, I forgot, I’m Ettey and my partner here is Puzzle. We have been given
the dubious honour of composing this blog, a bit of a rite of passage I suppose.
Thanks Ettey, it’s my turn to
get a word in. So yes, our opening parade was quite stunning, filling the indoor
school to capacity. Most of us were well behaved, with the odd exception of a
few who got a bit excited. Then we were treated to an exhibition as to how it
should be done. Around the corner came Mike Daniel with his magnificent black
Frieslanders (swoon), with heads held high and that imperious look, but they
knew their stuff and gave a very polished demonstration. Well, I guess it is
something to aspire to.
Following on from the school activities, we all went out to the field for pony
rides and all the fun of the show. However, we ponies are still trying to
understand some weird human ritual, which involved a rope and two teams
pulling it from opposite ends. At one end were our carers and at the other were
a very fit bunch of Royal Engineers from Rock Barracks. I mean, even when we
cheated on numbers, we were on a hiding to nothing. Anyway it all ended well,
with lots of that funny noise humans make when they are happy.
OK Puzzle, I’ll round off by mentioning the tremendous effort put in by us all to
make the day a resounding success. It’s a day we shall all remember and hope
to repeat, wherever we are. So, like the two Ronnies, it’s goodbye from her and
goodbye from me, until the next time.
All the best, Ettey and Puzzle

Cateran Yomp 2015
On 13th and 14th of June, myself and
two friends Helen and Stuart, took part
in the Cateran Yomp for the 2nd time.
The Yomp is a challenging 54 mile
route through the Perthshire Highlands
and the real challenge is to complete it
in 24hrs. Sounds ok, I hear you
thinking, until you realise that most of
it is uphill, over wild untouched
Scotland, with bogs and forests and
wilderness!
Julie Jolliffe
The Yomp is a fundraising event for
ABF The Soldiers Charity, which helps
soldiers, veterans and their families for
life, and there were over 600 entrants

started off at 7.15 am and reached the
Spittal of Glenshee by 4.20pm, that's
the 22 miles mark, following the
mountain climb with some absolutely
A mid-Yomp action shot
amazing views. The weather had
decided to take a turn for the worse and was battering us with rain and wind.
Not unusual for Scotland! Anyway, Stuart suffered an injury which left Helen
and myself to carry the Suffolk Survivors Team on for the 2nd leg to complete
the 36 miles.
On the way we walked around a beautiful tarn, through a field of inquisitive
cows, had Neeps and Tatties at one of the amazing checkpoints, watched
fireworks over a lake, walked through a forest disco (yes there were plenty of
things to keep you going!) and eventually reached the 36 miles checkpoint just
after midnight. That was a total of 16 hours 52 minutes of Yomping! We both
felt a great achievement in reaching this point, many had dropped out along
the way through injury, we were tired but elated, and the support of everyone
along the route was amazing.
Unfortunately, we could not continue any further as we needed a 3 person
team, so the next best thing is to go back and do it again next year! The new
team is being formed and training has started already. We will do it, next year,
54 miles, 24hrs, a real challenge!
If anyone would like to take part in the Cateran Yomp contact ABF The Soldiers
Charity. The support is amazing, you will thoroughly enjoy your weekend and
will be supporting a worthwhile charity. We have all raised over £400 each for
the ABF, any further donations will be gratefully received, thank you.

Local Wild Plants
We are surrounded by plants, and
we would be in dire trouble if they
were not here to provide our food,
plus countless plant-based products,
and the very oxygen we breathe.
Laurie Forsyth
Farm crops surround our villages,
but despite that, the area is rich in
wild, native plants. One is yellow
vetch, which is an annual, and
native to Britain. Its peaflowers
show it is related to the domestic
bean and pea, and so also to gorse,
broom, clovers, trefoils, medicks,
acacia and some 18,000 other
species around the world that also
produce their seeds in pods.
Yellow vetch with common vetch
at Shingle Street
It flowers from late May, but don’t
look for yellow flowers: at best, yellow vetch is pale cream. It is a low sprawler
with tendrils that clutch neighbours like the common vetch. The plant is
Nationally Scarce, and its stronghold is right here, on the southern Sandlings
coast. At Shingle Street it grows on vegetated shingle.
Laurie Forsyth
Heathland begins just outside
Hollesley, and its familiar signature is
heather, gorse and storm-blasted
pines.
In July, lesser dodder comes into
flower. You could comb the heaths for
months and not find it, because the
many scattered plants are merely thin
red hairs, sprawling through the
heather. I hope the poor dodder
doesn’t mind, because the books
describe it as a rootless parasite. They
also say it is Nationally Vulnerable and
in decline, but they don’t mention its
fine scent!
Lesser dodder on bell heather
I have found it in only one other place,
on Tunstall Common. When a seed produced by its tiny bell-shaped flowers
germinates, a thread-like shoot then casts about until it finds heather. From
that moment, the parasitic dodder obtains 100% of its needs from its heather
host.
Laurie Forsyth
Page 20 August 2015
Heathland Wildlife
The highlight has been the
excellent numbers of Silverstudded Blues again on Lower
Hollesley Common. This is a
species specific to heathlands but
with a habit of declining where
the habitat is not just right.
Therefore, it is really pleasing
that some of our management
work has come up trumps for
this butterfly. They need ants to
complete their life cycle (the
larvae being taken into the ant’s
Silver-studded Blues mating
nest and fed there as one of their
own) and Bell Heather, which is the plant that is in flower in June/July for the
emerging adult butterflies to nectar on. That often means having some bare
ground. We are still waiting for them to move on to Sutton Common where
there should be enough habitat for them to develop a colony.
Nick Mason
There has been plenty going on
this spring on the wildlife front.
Heathland birds have had a good year in 2015. Numbers of Woodlark, Dartford
Warbler and Nightjar are high and Stonechats are on their way back after the
catastrophic decline during the harsh spring of 2013. Dartfords are probably
back to their peak numbers, about 40 pairs over the heathland complex. These
little beauties can have two or three broods in a year and with luck they survive
to breed themselves. Our Redstarts are holding their own and it was very
pleasing that four pairs have used nest boxes this year. These boxes are
necessary because there are so few natural cavities in trees these days as dead
trees get cut down and removed in the name of cleanliness.
On our sour note there have been dog attacks on the sheep on Sutton Common
this summer. Closely controlling dogs during the breeding season and around
livestock has always been part of the Countryside Code. Still, people ignore this
code. On heathland it is doubly important because the rare heathland birds
(Woodlark, Dartfords and Nightjar) all breed on the ground. One day in May I
saw three people with 12 dogs, all running free, on Upper Hollesley
Common. It is not all dog walkers though and those from Hollesley, especially,
are very good at controlling their dogs. Thankyou!
The work at East Lane, Bawdsey, in the winter destroyed a lot of the butterfly
habitat for Wall butterflies and the only East Anglian population of Clouded
Yellow. This was done by the plant moving backwards and forwards in front of
the lagoons. Fortunately for the Yellows there I have found some emerged this
year. There have been no Walls seen.

Congratulations and thanks to all WI cake
makers! And thank you to Chris and Carol
at Hollesley Shopper for letting us have
our cake stall outside the shop and
making us tea, especially as it was
raining! We made £107, half of which will
be given to a local charity to be decided.
Cakes were also contributed to the Suffolk
Show WI catering and to the Church cake
stall. The final cake challenge was for the
Village Fete on 28th June when we needed
as many cakes and scones as
possible.
Doll knitted by Stella Moore
for the Suffolk Show
The Suffolk Show was a great success,
with the caterers busy and the display of
marvellous work for local charities
outstanding. We all felt very proud of our
many contributions and are glad that they
will be used for good purposes.
Members have enjoyed outings to Oliver in Ipswich and to Sizewell, where we
were given an interesting tour of the power station. Trevor Osborne recalled
entertainingly for us memories of our secondary education, which gave us all
pleasure.
Some members took part in the Sailor's Walk from Snape to Aldeburgh, a
pleasurable experience - and they saw an adder! Although the Choir looks
forward to its concert with Hollesley Primary School on 8th July, the planned
other concerts have regrettably been cancelled due to unforeseen
circumstances. We enjoy singing together and look forward to our next
venture. The monthly playreading group and the darts team meet regularly.
Our next meeting is on 10th July at 7pm in the Village Hall. If you wish to know
more about us, do visit our website sefwi.org.uk/institute/Hollesley.

Your regular scribe, Daphne
Fox, is taking her annual break
and has once again asked me
to step in. Fortunately,
Hollesley WI has been so busy
over the last few weeks that
there is plenty to write about.
Almost everyone has been
involved in one way or another.
The WI stands for Inspiring
Women and one inspiration
that has been eagerly taken up
by about a dozen members is a
suggested trip to New York
Our winning darts team with their shield
next autumn, taking in the
sights and returning on the Queen Mary. Wow! On a smaller scale, but no less
thoroughly enjoyed was a minibus trip to Anglesey Abbey, where I am told, the
roses were stunning.
The centenary event held at the Suffolk Punch Trust attended by around 80
ladies from all WIs in the Havergate Group was a great success with a light
supper served and entertainment provided by individuals from each WI
represented. This included contributions from Hollesley WI Jubilee choir who
have also been very busy with a concert for a summer evening in the church
and a joint concert with Hollesley School which has become something of a
regular feature.
After winning the shield in 2010 our darts squad have triumphed in the pair’s
competition and returned the trophy to Hollesley. It was rather a foregone
conclusion as both our teams reached the final and had to play each other,
resulting in Pam and Joyce beating Gina and Julie. Although it seems a while
ago now, five of us had great fun taking part in a treasure hunt at Needham
Market. We didn’t win but had a really enjoyable day. It is a great way to
explore and learn about a village as well as meeting other WI members.
It would not be right to finish this round up without mention of the fete and our
contributions - manning many of the stalls, baking cakes and serving the
refreshments. Takings from the cake stall and refreshments alone amounted to
over £280. A fantastic effort by all concerned.
Looking to the future, we await Rosemary’s garden party, held each July, a talk
on the maritime history of Woodbridge and a circular nature walk in Snape for
tasters. Daphne will be back next month, hopefully rested and ready to take up
her pen again. Until next year?

Volunteer Opportunity
The Shannon Trust is a national charity that operates a reading scheme in
prisons so prisoners can teach other prisoners to read. Supported by the
National Offender Management Service, the scheme is called Turning Pages and
is unique in the world. It has just been launched UK-wide and is a really
exciting development to support literacy in prisons.
The Shannon Trust is looking for a representative for Warren Hill and Hollesley
Bay. The role includes training mentors and attending monthly meetings, as
well as ensuring a reading plan is set up well and working properly.
Time commitment is about 15 hours per month, on a voluntary basis. The role
requires daytime mid-week availability. Flexibility is also needed to be able to
visit the prison when staff are available and attend regional meetings.
For more information visit www.shannontrust.org.uk/get-involved or email your
details to [email protected] for an informal chat.

Peach Melba
2 ripe but firm peaches
1 dessert spoon sugar
2 scoops good vanilla ice cream
250 g raspberries
Icing sugar
Almond biscuits to serve
Heat up water in a pan large enough to
take the peaches and add the sugar. When
dissolved, carefully lower in the peaches
and simmer for 3 minutes, turning over if the water doesn't cover the fruit.
With a slotted spoon, remove the peaches onto a plate and allow to cool.
Pauline Austerfield
Made with fresh fruit, this is the most
delicious dessert. If your peaches aren't
ripe cook them for longer. Serves two.
Put the raspberries in a sieve over a bowl and squash with a spoon to release
the juice. Add icing sugar to taste. Next, slip the skins off the peaches and
halve, removing the stone. Place the two halves in a sundae dish and arrange a
scoop of ice cream between them. Pour over the raspberry sauce and serve
with the almond biscuits.

Dog Poo!
I can remember washing my children’s shoes
after walks in the park and cleaning football
boots..ah.disgusting! I believe if you are not
prepared to pick-up after your pooch, then you
should be denied the pleasure of owning one.
On leaving the house your routine probably
Dog poo bin
would be…collect keys, coat, shoes or boots,
dog, dog lead and POO BAGS! POO BAGS! POO BAGS! Unfortunately there is
always going to be someone who just doesn’t care.
Contributed
How many times have you walked passed a pile
of dog poo and thought…why didn’t the dog’s
owner pick it up? Were they too busy looking at
their phone or talking to friends, perhaps they
didn’t have a poo bag to clear it up, or perhaps
they just didn’t care?
The health risks should be made better known. If more people were aware of
the infections caused from roundworms and hookworms, which are spread
from animals to humans via their infected faeces, I think that we would have
more responsible dog owners picking up after their dogs.
Toxocara canis is a roundworm found in dogs. Roundworm eggs are found in
dog faeces, which can easily be picked up by young children and can cause the
disease toxocariasis. This causes stomach upsets, sore throats, asthma and can
cause blindness. The eggs can remain active in the soil for many years, long
after the dog mess has weathered away.
To prevent dogs from carrying this and other worms, owners should worm their
dogs regularly following the advice of their vet. If a dog fouls in a public place,
and that means the forest as well as streets and parks, the best advice is
always clean up the mess. If there isn’t a bin, take it home and dispose of it.
I think that a lot of dog owners are under the misapprehension that a Dog
Exercise Area is an area in which they can take their dog to toilet. It is not! It
is there to exercise dogs with others. Inevitably, during exercise a dog will
probably wish to toilet, and bins are usually provided if this happens.
Veronica Joyce Dog Trainer
Did you know?
Failure to clear up after a dog in your control is a criminal offence for which a
fixed penalty fine of £80 can be issued (courts can impose a £1,000 fine).
You can report an incident of dog fouling in our area to Suffolk Coastal Norse
by calling 01394 444000 or emailing [email protected].

Hollesley Gardening Club
Summer is here and the everything is looking
great. This month the club is visiting Sandie
Hudson’s beautiful garden at Bailiff’s Cottage. It is
a time to relax, soak in the gorgeous colours and
enjoy a piece of cake and a cup of tea. This is what
a garden and summer is all about! The garden is
open from 1-4pm and everyone is welcome.
Gardening Tips for August
1. Prune Wisteria
2. Don’t delay summer pruning restricted fruits
3. Deadhead flowering plants regularly
4. Watering! Particularly containers and new plants
5. Collect seed from favourite plants
6. Harvest sweetcorn and other vegetables as they become ready
7. Continue cutting out old fruited canes on raspberries
8. Lift and pot up rooted strawberry runners
9. Keep ponds and water features topped up
10. Feed the soil with green manures.

Letters - your news & views
Dear Editor,
With growing pressure on our local GP services from an increasing – and
increasingly elderly – population, isn’t it time to consider building a bigger and
more modern doctors’ surgery to serve the Peninsula area?
The rationale for this became evident when, on a visit to the Alderton surgery
today, I found the waiting room full of patients and the car park so overflowing
that people were having to park on the grass verges outside homes in Mill Hoo.
Three or four medical staff were holding consultations, which accounted for the
large numbers waiting.
While the surgery might not be this crowded on a daily basis, surely this is a
sign of things to come? Yes, there are consultations held in Orford and
once-weekly in Hollesley, but this doesn’t appear to be alleviating the demands
made on the Mill Hoo premises.
If local land-owners can relinquish land for house-building in Bawdsey, Alderton
and Hollesley in order to raise funds to protect their farmland from flooding,
surely they could be persuaded to come up with a central site for a new
medical centre with a spacious car park, catering for both current and future
health needs of local people?
In no way am I suggesting our doctors are inefficient; on the contrary I think
they manage superbly within the limits of this small building.
Angela Lawrence
Editor’s Note
The Peninsula Practice was contacted for their thoughts on Angela’s letter but
opted not to provide a reply for inclusion here. Practice manager Linda Deabill
has told us she would welcome any questions about the surgery and it’s

Dear Editor,
I would like to say a huge thank you once again this year to the Hollesley
Village Fete committee for the generous donation made to the Oesophageal
Patients Association in Mike’s memory. It is much appreciated by the
Association and always put to good use helping others who are suffering in the
same way Mike did. It is also wonderful to know that Mike is still remembered
with such affection in the village.
I think we also all owe a big thank you to Stewart and Joan for all their hard
work in organising the fete so well.

Dear Editor,
On Friday 10th July a man [description provided] watched his dog poop in the
middle of the footpath leading behind the recreation ground. I then watched
him kick the poop into the grass at the side. I challenged him and he said it’s
so people don’t tread in it. It’s not where the dog poops – it’s the poop itself
which causes diseases. I hope he is proud of his action.

Greetings from the Mission at Boyton
A story of forgiveness
A frail, elderly black woman faces the murderer of her family in a court in
South Africa. The white police officer, Mr. van der Broek, had killed both the
woman’s husband and son. Forced to watch as they were set on fire and burnt
to death, she bore witness to her husband’s last words - Father forgive them.
Now decades later Mr. van der Broek had been tried and found guilty of the
murders. A member of the court turns to the old woman and asks So what do
you want? How should justice be done to this man?
I want three things begins the old woman. I want first to be taken to the place
where my husband and son’s bodies were burned so that I pray, collect their
ashes and give them a proper burial.
She pauses, then continues My husband and son were my only family, I want
secondly, therefore, for Mr. van der Broek to become my son so that I can
pour out on him whatever love I still have remaining in me.
Finally she says I would kindly ask someone to help me across the courtroom.
I’d like to embrace Mr. van der Broek so he knows he is truly forgiven.
As the court assistants come to lead the elderly woman across the room, Mr.
van der Broek, overwhelmed by what he has just heard, faints, and as he does
those in the courtroom, family, friends and neighbours - all victims of decades
of oppression and injustice - begin to sing, softly but assuredly Amazing Grace,
how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me...
Every Blessing to you all.

Non-attendance
During the period of 1st April – 31st June 2015 184 appointments were not
attended by patients at The Peninsula Practice. This equates to over 40 hours
of consultation time. Please help us address this situation!
If you are not able to keep an appointment please call the surgery.
Community Garden News
The greenhouse is about ready
to go now thanks to Roger and
Robin's hard work installing
the glass.
Cheryl Gray
Watch out for excess produce
at the entrance to the garden,
of course you are welcome to
pick some yourselves in
exchange for a little weeding!
Everyone is most welcome at
our once a month Saturday
work parties.
The Just 42 youths expanding the bug hotel
The Just 42 youths joined us again and the bug hotel continues to grow. We
still need infill materials such as bricks (especially air bricks) and all manner of
debris to create hidey holes for all the visitors. Please feel free to leave
anything you may have just inside the garden gate.
We are having a Fun Day on 8th August, watch out for
posters with details. We'd love you to join us for tea, cake
and a few games. We are looking for teenagers to help
organise some games on the day and if you can help on
the day or bake a cake please call Sue 411758.
