The vicar was going round the room, greeting all who had come to the social evening with a cheerful word, and enquiring tenderly after their families. “Ah, Mrs Smith,” he said, with an encouraging smile, “how lovely to see you here. And how is your dear husband?” “He passed away last month, vicar,” came the reply. “Good, good,” said the vicar, and moved on to greet the next guest.

But on thinking about it, it probably has something to do with a subconscious awareness once or twice recently, of situations when I have been talking to someone whose attention was clearly elsewhere. Not that I blame them – people have a lot on their minds these days, and thinking about something else is probably more enjoyable than attending to what I might be feeling or saying. But even so, it’s not very polite. When I am more than usually fed up with life, the universal church and everything, one of the remedies that keeps me going is to reflect on the way Jesus dealt with people. To put it simply, he paid attention to the person in front of him. When an important official and a desperate, insignificant woman were competing for his attention, he did not allow the evident impatience of everyone around him to distract him from meeting the woman’s needs first. It’s a key way, it seems to me, of retaining our own humanity and enhancing the humanity of others: treat them as significant, real, worthwhile, valuable – you can choose your preferred word. My experience suggests that most of us are really pretty fragile, beneath whatever degree of confidence we are able to display as our public face. That means we need to be treated gently, told that we are loved and valued, accorded respect in far greater measure than we usually are; and of course that we must do as we would be done by – even to the cold caller on the end of the phone or the checkout operator in the supermarket. A little prayer I sometimes use is “Lord, help me now to see your face in others, and help them to find your presence in me.” I was once asked by someone whose faith was more clearly defined than mine whether I shared his belief in a personal devil. It was clear what answer he expected! I said that I believed in a personal God, whose chief concern for our earthly life was that we should become fully human in the pattern of Jesus – so it followed that if I believed in a devil, such a being would be essentially impersonal, set on reducing us to complete impersonality, and ultimately to complete nonexistence. Just looking the other person in the eye is important. At church, we often greet one another formally during the service with a handshake, and the words, “Peace be with you.” I am often puzzled by the fact that those I greet do not seem able to look straight at me. Are they afraid that I might be able to see into their souls – or that they might see into mine and not like the view? God is to be found in all that makes us more human. Here’s looking at you!

The sky was black early on Friday 29th April as the scarecrows went up and we all feared the worst that there was going to be a torrential downpour. But we were extremely lucky, as the black clouds disappeared and thankfully the sunshine that took its place remained throughout the Bank Holiday weekend. It was however very windy and the hardiness of the some of the scarecrows were put to the test. In fact some of the scarecrows looked like they had come alive as they moved about so much in the heavy breeze!! Due to the lovely sunny weather there was a large turnout of people wandering around the village looking at the scarecrows and doing the competition trail. Although there weren’t as many scarecrows entered this year the standard of those that were was exceptional. We would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to all of you who took the time to make a scarecrow because without you this event just wouldn’t happen! And what a variety of scarecrows there were waving their union jack flags.. The Royal Family turned out to view our very own William and Catherine scarecrows being married at The Chapel. Prince Harry however was seen celebrating at The Duke of York pub with a local barmaid having one last drink before taking up his Best Man duties!! Other famous names came to join in the happy occasion, Simon Cowell, Noel Edmunds, Belle, Mario, Mr Tumble, Pocahontas, Cruella, Little Mermaid, Where’s Wally, Darth Vader, and Michael Schumacher to name but a few. Others such as the kick boxer, golfer, pig farmer, belly dancer, chimney sweep, school children, weather forecaster, campers and wedding planner waved their flags while carrying on with their activities. The workman however was too busy on the toilet but the parachutist flew in especially. Other scarecrow weddings were also taking part in the village. There was the Garden wedding, The Halloween wedding and Mickey and Minnie Mouses wedding. On Sunday 1st May there was a large turnout at the Village Hall BBQ Fun Day where everyone gathered to join in the Royal Wedding Celebrations and to find out who the weekends winners were. The competition for Best Scarecrows was extremely close, many scarecrows narrowly missing out winning a prize by one vote. Two of the winning scarecrows got the same amount of votes so instead of 3 prizes being awarded for best scarecrows there were 4 prizes awarded.

To the members of the Village Hall committee and its helpers Jane Leak, John and Anne Waddingham who made and put out all the extra scarecrows that filled out this years trail. To “the Boys” Nick, Adam, and Dave who gathered in all these scarecrows at the end of the Trail on their trailer… an adventure in itself!?!. They caused chaos around Skirlaugh on their travels.. Owners of “Where’s Wally” couldn’t actually find him at one point as he was accidentally collected by our boys but was soon returned to his rightful place. Parts of the scarecrows they were meant to collect apparently were scattered around the village by them. So if you happened to come across a wig, head or other bodily part of a scarecrow on your travels please accept our apologies for any trauma caused and return to Skirlaugh Village Hall.. Thank you! To everyone who allowed these scarecrows to be displayed in their gardens. To Stuart and Caroline Kirkwood of Criftons Farm for supplying the straw to make the scarecrows. To our Scarecrow Trail sponsors….

May I just add here the Committee are all volunteers, volunteering their time and sometimes money to maintain the facilities, and all of the field's problems have to be dealt with in our own time !!. CONT OVER the newsletter Long Riston News Whilst writing this I received the news the pavilion has had the lead taken off its roof. Not only this but it has caused damage to the guttering and some of the brick work. Some may say but insurance will pay. They may well pay but the committee have to pay the excess and then the premiums go up. Along with the above all the newly made signs have been pulled down these all cost the Playing Field Committee money, money which could be put to better use on the field. We do not have an endless pit of money we struggle to survive on donations and fund-raising events. We do not have the money to spend on vandalism and graffiti cleaning.

On the afternoon of Saturday the 30th April 2011, New Ellerby Methodist Church rang to the sound of laughter and cheering. From 12 noon until late afternoon, members from both the Church and Ellerby villages joined together to celebrate the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. There was lots of laughter and cheers throughout the whole of the afternoon. We all sat down to a fabulous buffet, everyone had previously agreed to bring something for the buffet, consisting of all the party favourites, which everyone thoroughly enjoyed. At the end of the afternoon everyone was presented with a commemorative china beaker as a memento of the day. I would like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to Ellerby Parish Council and Hornsea Lions for their generous cash donations, Colletta & Tyson Garden Centre at Woodmansey for the generous discount given and Asda Bilton for donating the bunting. And last but not least to all who attend. The afternoon started with everyone arriving to a room decorated with union jacks. Followed by everyone, regardless of age, participating in a number of old family favourite party games such as standstill statues, pass the parcel, hoopla, “bash the rat”, giant Jenga, apple bobbing, pin the crown on the princess & charades.

St Michael`s Church, Catwick 29th April, celebrating both the Royal Wedding of William The marvellous April weather held for the Good Friday Service and Walk. The first half of the thoughtprovoking event [for the whole of the Benefice] was held at St Michael`s, then a group walked to Long Riston Church carrying the Cross. Several people travelled by car and we met at St Margaret`s for the second part of the service. This was all a new experience for many of us; it promoted quiet contemplation but also friendly interaction with members of other churches. The flower-filled church at Easter added to the uplift of spirit. Joyful feelings emerged again on the 14 and Catherine AND the Golden Wedding Anniversary of Malcolm and Suzanne Head. Congratulations and best wishes all round. Another new event at St Michael`s this year is the Ascension Day Service on Thursday 2nd June at 7.30pm. This is an area Benefice service to be held by the Bishop of Hull, the Rt. Rev. R. Frith. All are welcome.
