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.

Blakesley Pre-School has recently announced that due to popularity it has extended its opening
hours to 9am 3pm, five days a week.
A wonderful pre-school in a fantastic country setting, it has a group of highly experienced staff and
provides childer aged from two to four with a great start to their learning.
It also runs Rising Fives sessions to help prepare children for the transition to Blakesley CE Primary
School.

A very well attended Memorial Service was held for Joyce Summers on 5th February at which we were able to
remember Joyce for all that she did as Church Warden and as a Member of the Choir.

Farthingstone Amateur Repertory Theatrical Society have released details of their next production. With a nod
to their sophisticated clientele they are rehearsing for Carry on Up a Christmas Carol. The pantomime
contains a healthy amount of plagiarism from Charles Dickens, Barbara Windsor, Ronnie Barker and the great
Bard himself. There will be a prize for anyone spotting an original joke.
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 dorothyfit@gmail.com.

The Farthingstone Foot Fest is a charity walk organised by Farthingstone Foot Fest Committee in

at 8:00am and runners start at 9.00am

The Half Marathon is a circular walk or run forming part of the 26 mile route. Walkers and runners
start together at 10.00am
The routes cover significant stretches of the Macmillan Way, Knightly Way and Midshires Way with
connecting footpaths through the wonderful rolling countryside of Northamptonshire.
Entry Fees are 26 Mile 11.50 (12.50 on day), 13 mile 8.50 ( 9.50 on day). Your entry fee includes:

A Pint of Beer

A meal, pudding and hot drinks at the finish for all

Since being formed late in 2014, Blakesley WI have had regular meetings and social events. Last month we
had a very interesting talk on Secrets and Scandals of Canons Ashby, which took us on a journey through
the development of the building and gardens in an interesting and very funny manner.
We are currently planning our calendar for the remainder of 2015 the next meeting will be held at the
Blakesley Reading Room on Wednesday 19th March and will include a talk about all things bee related from
Honeypotts.
Please feel free to come and try a session, and hopefully you will enjoy it enough to
join us on a more long-term basis.

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.

Any queries please contact Virginia Pike (01327) 860742

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 carolhakin120@btinternet.com
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. For more information on the club and its activities,
please contact Diane Shaw (831312) or Sheila Melville (831643).

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.
