Now, you may recall that last month there was a
collection of limericks as a result of the Harvest
Supper (and a rather copious amount of
imbibing). Well on page 10 there is a very fitting
riposte! All in good ‘spirit’ of course..
This year has seen many excellent gatherings
from the Village Hall coffee mornings to Suppers.
In all of these, there is someone heading a team of helpers behind
the scenes. A huge round of applause goes to ALL the people who
generously give up their time to make this village a friendly and
welcoming place whilst raising needy funds for our community,
beavering away at cookers and sinks, on PCs and phones at all
hours of the day or night.
THANK YOU!

Dear Friends
Christmas 2015 is almost upon us and as I write this Christmas
message I am reflecting upon the horrors of the Paris terrorist
Diaper
Barry
attack with so many people killed and injured. I want to be upbeat
and happy, after all it’s Christmas! But at the same time what makes us human beings is the ability
to empathize with others and being able to look back at what has happened and think ahead to what
might be. Christmastime is not just a very beautiful story about an infant child being born into the
world, with angels and stardust. It is more especially about a real human being born into the real
world with a fanfare of trumpets, yes and a choir of angels yes, shepherds and wise men too. But it
is crucially also about a child real and full of life who looks our world and our lives in the eye of
perception, directly in the eye and who says to us, Yes I know! I know what it is to be human, I
know what it is to be loved, I know what it is to be rejected and ill treated by others and yes even
killed. Yet in all of this, I open my hand to you as your Lord and your Saviour.
As Julian of Norwich a great Christian mystic of the fourteenth century, author of the book known as
the "Sixteen Revelations of Divine Love" says, all shall be well, and all manner of thing
shall be well.'
All will be well because your Lord and your Saviour is born into the world, and has overcome the
world and is with you always, yes said Jesus even to the end of all time. What a most wonderful
promise, the Lord of love and life brings to us!
May you be richly blessed this Christmas, and may the year to come be one where you can know
Christ’s presence and love is with you both in the difficult and in the good times.
Please join us for our Christmas worship across the Benefice.
With my prayers and blessings

The PCC has recently drawn up a plan outlining the way forward for All Saints'and its
Ministry.
We as Christians are quite reserved about proclaiming our faith. The Bible says a lot about
prayer, and the power of praying together, and I have decided to become more Evangelical.
Village magazines often have prayer forums, and a decision was made at our meeting, that
this may be right for us.
Let's begin with a Christmas prayer:
Loving God, help us to remember the birth of Jesus,
that we may share in the song of the Angels,
the gladness of the shepherds, and worship of the wise men.
Close the door of hate and open the door of love, all over the world.
Let kindness come with every gift, and good desires with every greeting.
Deliver us from evil by the blessing which Christ brings,
and teach us to be merry with clear hearts.
May the Christmas morning make us happy to be thy children,
and Christmas evening bring us to our beds with grateful thoughts, forgiving and
forgiven,
for Jesus' sake.
Amen.

Look out for the Village Hall’s Christmas Tree!!
The Village Hall can now offer a Marquee for hire. The hirer will need to provide 3 people to help
erect it but there will be a VH rep there to supervise and help.
We’re going to buy a Dishwasher – hurrah! It’ll make clearing up after ‘foodie’ events so much
quicker and easier! We’ll be doing plenty of research before buying so as to ensure we have one
robust enough!
The committee greatly appreciates a most generous donation of £500 from the Busk family; proceeds
from the Tombola stall at the recent Stockbridge Shopping Night raised just over £100; and the
village harvest supper boosted funds by £291.43. Village Hall funds are currently just over £5,700.
Jeanneth is our new Cleaner – she works a couple of hours every other Tuesday afternoon, keeping
our Hall nice and clean – thanks, Jeanneth!
VH Committee members will be calling at all households during January inviting you to buy Village
Hall Draw tickets for 2016. (*) The Draw is ‘self-funding’ and at £12 a year, it’s good value!
Plans are afoot to start a Table Tennis evening, probably once a month on a Wednesday. More details
to follow.
Proceeds from the 2016 Houghton Trail (17 April) will be split between All Saints Church and the
Village Hall; the VH committee will be helping Fiona, the main contact for the team, particularly
with organising marshals; so if you’d like to help, do make a note of the date in your diary!
There’ll be Valentine’s Drinks on Saturday 13 February 2016 from 6.30 to 8.30 pm - £10 to
include a glass of wine and delicious canapes and nibbles! More details to follow in the New Year.
The VH Committee meets approximately every other month and is very keen to hear from villagers
about the sort of facilities and events they’d like to have in the Hall.
Do let us know your ideas and suggestions: contacts in Village Directory at the back of this magazine.
The next Village Hall Coffee Morning is on Saturday 16 January 2016
Village Hall Draw - October winners!
£30 - Pam White 135 £20 - Andy Brown 82
£10 – Mrs Hanham 69
£5 - Anne Carlyle-Gall 136
(*) An annual Village Hall Draw ticket is £12 a year (Jan-Dec) or pro rata if you join during the year. The draw takes
place at The Boot on the last Friday of the month, so it’s a lovely excuse to drop in ….and hope to win some money to
pay for your drinks! If you’d like to buy a Village Hall Draw ticket, contact James Allport or Nick Harding.

Come along and find out
what the Parish Council is
doing for the village
and have your say
about matters that are
important to you in the
village!
Houghton Conservation & Development Group
Houghton is under serious threat from development. The Local Plan has been revised so that large
areas of land in the village are now available for development for the first time. Many such sites are
large enough to support full scale housing developments, a radical change for our village. Many
residents have been approached by developers to sell their property or gardens for development.
Currently there are over 20 houses being built or proposed, at sites such as Houghton Farm and
Kent’s Orchard. Another two-house development has just been proposed for Houghton Farmhouse
garden. More will undoubtedly follow.
Developers can put considerable resources into gaining permission for whatever they want to build.
Witness the developer owners of Kent’s Orchard bringing their Public Relations consultant when
they showed us their ideas for Kent’s Orchard. Developers are driven by a profit motive and have
no inherent interest in benefit to the wider community. Yet the proposed housing developments
greatly exceed the village’s current, defined housing need, and stand to change fundamentally the
character of the village in which we live. We face increased pressures on local resources and large
scale change to the look, feel and character of the village, to housing density, to traffic volumes – in
short, to the way we live.
The Parish Council does a first class job dealing with planning issues, but as an organ of local
government is under legal constraints as to what action it can take. For example, it is prohibited
even from discussing prospective planning applications until they have reached a formal stage, and
then has only 3 weeks to formulate its response. By contrast, many development proposals have
been months or more in preparation, which tends to load the dice in favour of the developer.
The Parish Council alone cannot match these resources, but if the village unites we, as a
community, can concentrate and maximise our resources to try to achieve the best possible
solutions for our community.
It was for these reasons that the Houghton Conservation and Development Group (‘HCDG’) was
recently formed with a view to assisting in pursuing a co-ordinated community response to the
challenges posed by development in the village, free of the constraints under which the Parish
Council has to operate. HCGD can and will seek to take an objective and strategic view, define what
resources, professional, communal or otherwise, are needed in relation to a specific proposal,
endeavour to obtain them, and pursue a co-ordinated, community-led response.
We are a small but growing group, recently formed, and now invite everyone who lives in the
villages of Houghton and Bossington, cares about the future development of the village, and wishes
to get involved, to join with us to prevent the detrimental development of this unique place.
In the first instance, please contact me on 01794 388 538 or [email protected]
Informal snippets from Houghton Parish Council’s Extra-ordinary meeting on 23 November
The following Planning Applications were discussed:
 Whitehaven: demolition and replacement house; HPC objected to the design of the proposed new
house, it being not harmonious with adjacent properties or the village generally, although no objection to
the demolition.
 Marwin Cottage: HPC supported plans for an extension on south side of house for a re-positioned
kitchen.
 Rectory Cottage: HPC had no objection to revisions to previously submitted plans.
 Settlement Boundary in Draft Local Plan: HPC agreed to write to TVBC, enclosing a copy of the
final draft of the Houghton Village Design Statement, expressing concern about how the interpretation
by TVBC of areas for potential development appears to be counter to the PC’s understanding when it
submitted its Settlement Boundary earlier this year; and inviting the Planning Office representatives and
Conservation Officer to visit the village to get a better idea of the overall rural nature of the village.

Houghton WI
NOVEMBER MEETING
One of our WI members, Ruth Harper-Adams, gave us a talk on the history of The Romsey Show which had its
beginnings in 1842. Ruth outlined the huge amount of work behind the scenes to make this Hampshire Show one
of the most prestigious in the country.
We now look forward to our Christmas Meeting on Monday 14th December at 7.30 in Houghton Village Hall. This
is an Open Meeting and we would be very happy to welcome you as a visitor. Please contact our President, Jane
Anderton, if you would like to come. 01264810928
Sue Marshall
Message to the ladies of Houghton
You’re probably aware that this year has seen various celebrations for the centenary of the national
Women’s Institute. You may not know that Houghton’s own WI is itself approaching a centenary, as it
was founded in 1918. For all that time Houghton ladies have enjoyed meeting together and
contributing in many ways to village life, and to the wider activities of the county and national WI
organization. Unfortunately, member numbers in Houghton have been gradually dropping over the
past few years, and it would be such a shame if Houghton WI has to close from lack of support. We
currently have a core of very loyal members and meetings are still very enjoyable, with interesting
speakers (and of course excellent refreshments!) as well as theatre outings, visits to gardens and
historic houses, and meetings of the Book Group and Lunch Club. However, if numbers drop too low,
Houghton WI may well become financially unviable. We are in a “use it or lose it” situation, and we feel
that losing the WI would be a great shame for the village, particularly for the Village Hall as the WI is its
most regular user!
We understand that there are many demands on people’s time these days, but we would love it if more
local ladies felt able to support the WI. We usually meet on the third Monday of each month, and our
members are a very varied and friendly group, with a multiplicity of talents and interests. You would
be extremely welcome if you’d like to come and join us, or just drop in for a meeting sometime. We’d
particularly like to invite you to come along to our Christmas meeting on 14 th December, 7.30pm, when
there will be a delicious supper provided by the members, a sales table, a grand raffle, and a very
entertaining speaker on a Christmas theme. If you’d like to come please let me know –
[email protected], 01264 810928. Looking forward to seeing you!
Best wishes,
Jane Anderton

What is happiness?
I have said it before and I'll say it again. People who are very clever are no better at getting
things right than anyone else. They just go wrong in a very clever way.
What is happiness? It varies from one person to another. For some, it's having a sense of
purpose, and a feeling that they are doing something worthwhile. For most of us, it's knowing
that we are loved, and also giving out love to others. It can be the belief that we have achieved
a reasonably just and fair society, in which we are making a contribution that is recognised and
appreciated as being of value, one way or another. For many people, happiness just means
having a full stomach.
When the Americans in the eighteenth century spoke of the pursuit of happiness as a
commendable aim in life, I think that, at that date, this meant aiming for the well-being of
human beings. I don't think it means that life should be a self-centred and hedonistic process
of having one long jolly ha-ha after another.
Happiness is a result rather than an aim in itself. If we aim selfishly for our own well-being,
then we are unlikely to get it. If we aim for the well-being of others, then we may find ourselves
feeling reasonably happy. So much today seems to be aimed at stirring up envy and
discontent, with a view to making people want more and more - rather than encouraging a
philosophy and belief that we should make the most of what we have and find delight in simple
things.
Most of us want to feel we are living in a reasonably just society, where crime does not pay,
and where people are treated reasonably fairly. It's a mistake to make people feel that they
have an entitlement to perfection in life - because they won't get it.
Too much cynicism in life is equally a mistake. We need to have some ideals. Confucius (551479 B.C.) believed that if we get our values right in the home, then society will reflect this and
be the better for it. The fact is that the home is where things may begin to go "right" (for want
of a better word). It is also where things can begin to go wrong.
The casualty of today's trendy and politically correct thinking is in the attitude towards the home
and family life. Did you watch the Borgen series on television? In that series, it seemed as
though the real victims were the children. What has happened to the concept of giving children
a reasonably balanced and stable childhood? I don't mean some totally idiotic and unrealistic
namby-pamby existence. I just mean giving them the feeling that they are wanted - that their
parents care about them - and that they matter. This might equally be applied to our old
parents, as they start to deteriorate. Making money the King in today's society seems to make
us end up with something that is empty and out of balance.
Christmas is a good time for reminding ourselves of the things that really matter in life - such as
love, kindness, good friends, and family.

Is a wood burning stove right for me?
With their glass doors and sleek looks, today’s high efficiency
wood stoves can provide a visual centrepiece as well as
winter warmth. However, there are practicalities to consider
before buying one:
1. Do I have a chimney?
You’ll need to feed a flue up a chimney or out through a wall.
2. Can I store the wood?
Do you have a dry space for a few cubic metres of wood? A
tonne goes quickly in winter!
3. Am I fighting fit?
Lugging and/or splitting wood is hard work. There will be wood ash to clear if you are burning logs rather
than pellets.
4. Will I use it?
A wood stove may be surplus to requirement if you have a good boiler and central heating.
5. Will I burn the right stuff?
Will the wood you burn come from a sustainably managed forest?
For more wood stove Q&As, simply search the blog at www.yougen.co.uk

It’s cool to stay warm for less money...reduce your
heating oil costs!
If you order via Houghton Oil Syndicate your can increase your ‘buying
power’ with local oil companies; together, we can achieve savings of up to
10p/litre - it’s a ‘no brainer’!
How it works
Join the Oil Syndicate (it’s free!) by contacting Bob Gosse
[email protected] or call 01794 388617
When you need oil, email Bob who then e-mails all the Syndicate Members, seeking more orders.
Almost every month, Bob sources the best deal from local oil companies and orders your oil
requirements. You pay the oil company direct, usually after delivery, on invoice.
There are currently 56 households in the syndicate: the more members there are
the potentially cheaper the oil!.
Are you part of the Houghton Village e-mail Group?
There are now 120 subscribers!
The Village email group helps us all keep up-to-date with what’s on in the village –
apart from reading Houghton News, of course!
You can hear about things going on in the village more frequently than once a month!
It’s so easy to join….just email [email protected] and ask to join!
If you don’t have email, you could ask a friend in the village who does,
to send a message on your behalf!
GOOD NEIGHBOURS
Getting to a doctor’s, hospital, dental, optician or other medical appointment
need not be a problem.
0845 094 3713
and a friendly voice will come to your aid and organise transport for you to and from your appointment,
courtesy of one of the Volunteer Drivers
There is no charge if you are over 60 or have a Bus Pass.
If you don't have a Bus Pass but you qualify for one, ring TVBC (01264 368000) to order one.
Good Neighbour volunteers can also help with non-medical appointments - eg visiting someone in
hospital, help with day-to-day errands such as collecting prescriptions, small shopping commissions,
dog walking, so it’s always worth asking if you need help with anything.
Do make a note of the number….it could be very useful one day!
There are 4 volunteers from Houghton: we support Stockbridge and Stockbridge supports Houghton!
