The clocks go back this month. The nights draw in. The garden goes to sleep. Many animals hibernate, or slow down, and some birds fly south for the colder winter months. After we have our ‘flu’ jabs and consider our winter diets; making sure there is enough vitamin D, vitamin C, and carbohydrates (but not sugar!) to keep us warm, we might be planning to avoid slipping on any ice, keeping the car defrosted, and helping the birds to have access to water.

Are you tempted to hibernate? It might be an alternative idea to come to life, to explore new ideas, take up a new hobby, read different books, make time to catch up with or meet neighbours, as we stay closer to home. Focusing on things close to home could be the start of an Advent Challenge? With more time in front of, I hope, a warm fire, or wrapped in a blanket, with muffler slippers, we could spend time with our Bible too. There are some helpful Bible reading notes available, which take, maybe, 15 – 20 minutes to read.

I went to a Christian Meditation day recently, and have committed to spend time in meditation, as well as morning prayer. I pray that people might notice a change in me as I benefit from time, quiet time, with God. That, along with my Advent retreat, will form the shape of my Autumn and Winter.

Of course, there are still many of us who need to rush for the morning school run, walking dogs, shopping, cooking, volunteering, and of course, earning a living. My challenge for myself is to find, at the same time each day, 10 minutes to invest in my Spiritual health, in the same way I work on my physical health. Physical and mental health comes into for example, getting in the garden when the winter sun is shining, keeping my feet dry on a rainy dog walk, chatting with friends and acquaintances, checking on neighbours, sending Christmas cards (can you find some with a Christian message?) and keeping warm at night. Thinking about Spring and Summer trips helps too – it brings us ‘hope’ of the next season. Looking after ourselves in the present, and attending to our Souls, or Spiritual Life for the next life, is an aspect of Christian discipleship we might be tempted to forget. It is the Hope Christians hold, bought dearly for us by Jesus. I hope these ideas help you, as they help me, to remember and hold in balance, enjoyment of this life, and care for the everlasting.

Bible Study Bible Sunday Luke 4:16-24

16 He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. He stood up to read, 17 and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written: 18 “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, 19 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favour.” 20 Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21 He began by saying to them, “Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.” 22 All spoke well of him and were amazed at the gracious words that came from his lips. “Isn’t this Joseph’s son?” they asked. 23 Jesus said to them, “Surely you will quote this proverb to me: ‘Physician, heal yourself!’ And you will tell me, ‘Do here in your hometown what we have heard that you did in Capernaum.’” 24 “Truly I tell you,” he continued, “no prophet is accepted in his hometown.”

Please read the passage through, spending time on each phrase; is there something that you notice?

Finding our way around the Bible isn’t always easy. We might have learned some hints and tips – the order of the Gospels – Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Or the first few epistles (letters) A,E,I,O,U – GAlatians, Ephesians, PhIlippians, COlossians, U= the two Thessalonians! It is always ok to look the Book up (there are 66 of them!) in the index and find it by page number. Once you have the book, you can find the next number – the chapter, and finally the verses. That’s just the beginning, then comes the exploring of Scripture. Jesus knew the Bible by heart. He knew just where to turn, he’d been studying since he was a boy, all Israelites did, and still do. He knew that there are messages for each of us there, words of instruction, encouragement, hope and comfort waiting to be read, reflected upon and prayed over. Jesus sent us a message in this passage, and this is what I believe it says. Here is Jesus’ commissioning, his vocation, his anointing. And at the end of Matthew’s Gospel, Jesus asked us, told us, to follow on, to carry on that work. It doesn’t matter where we come from, where we live, we each have a part in this work, as Christians. If you want to explore with someone else what your part might be, give me a call, and we’ll chat over a cuppa.

Reflections on stained glass windows - Harvest

Continuing our tour of our churches in the Benefice, I invite you to visit St Peter’s Parwich. In the side chapel are some treasures, two windows recording all the children aged 14 and under in the village in 2000, and a memorial window with the following quotation

O all ye birds of the air bless ye the Lord

These two windows, for me, reflect thanksgiving for two aspects of Harvest – both the harvest of children, a legacy of Parwich, a present and a future for the people, and the birds that show God’s beautiful creation so clearly. Each bird designed and made to live and benefit from different wild conditions; birds hunting insects in trees and in the sky, birds which eat grain and seed, birds who clear carrion or eat little mammals, birds of all colours and shapes, fitting into God’s ecology so well.

As we remember the harvest in each village community, we can make the links from Creation to the present day, from the early grass seeds to the cultivated cereal crops we enjoy, from fruit, vegetable and seed crops to high yielding varieties tended and harvested today, from original breeds of domesticated animals to the specialist breeds for dairy, beef and leather, lamb and wool that have benefited commerce through the generations. Awareness of nature alongside this work in field and orchard has been more public recently, but I expect that farmers have always known and understood the effects on the birds, bees and little creatures living in hedge, field edge and trees. It is due to the efforts of farmers that the English countryside looks the way it does, such a draw for tourists, walkers, holiday makers and drivers though our county.

I can and do spend many minutes each time I am in St Peter’s for morning prayer, studying that window, identifying the birds, and wondering how all the children are now, what their lives have blossomed into, their personalities, skills and gifts emerging, the possible troubles, illnesses and trials they already have faced, and the harvests they will bring in, in whatever roles they play in life, in Parwich and the many far flung places they might now live. The current ‘crop’ of under 14s in the village of Parwich are very special too. It’s good to see them being nurtured and cherished, coached and encouraged, consulted and included in the life of the village, in all its many activities.

Why not share your own reflections after your visits to the churches in our Benefice – they are all open every day, and we’ll be interested to hear what your impressions are of the unique history represented there.

Climate Change – an update on initiatives

General Synod 22 February 2019 recognised 'the escalating threat to God’s creation from global warming and climate change, and the suffering caused, particularly to the poor;'

23rd September 2019 UN Climate Action Summit September Extinction Rebellion demonstrations led by school children

The Environment Committee is a group of Christian volunteers from across Derbyshire and has representation from Christian denominations. It is currently facilitated by Stella Collishaw in the Mission and Ministry Team ( Diocese) in the absence of a Diocesan Environment Officer. It has existed as a group for more than 20 years. They report - Climate emergency has been declared in:

North East Derbyshire District Council Derbyshire Dales District Council Matlock Town Council Wirksworth Town Council Hayfield Parish Council Belper Town Council

Meanwhile, Derbyshire County Council has published a Derbyshire Climate and Carbon Reduction Manifesto with the aim of becoming carbon neutral.

“As the climate warms due to human made green house gases, the permafrost in the arctic regions begins to thaw. Huge amounts of carbon are stored here and as thawing takes place carbon dioxide and methane are released to the atmosphere. Warming arctic seas may also release methane. Methane is at least twenty times as potent a greenhouse gas as carbon dioxide (Co2) which warms the planet.

The UN says at some point within the next 12 years stopping human made green houses gases will no longer stop this positive feedback; huge quantities of methane and carbon dioxide will be released from the tundra year on year and there will be nothing we will be able to do about it.

Fires in a drier climate add to this effect. We saw a big increase in fires last summer. We even have large moorland fires in February. Today, climate change is killing farmers in West Africa due to drought and is contributing to two hundred species a day being lost. Ash die back is now killing trees in Dove Dale. Where could this end? Steven Hawking said we risk the planet becoming like Venus with day time temperatures at 200 degrees centigrade, and night time temperatures minus 200 degrees centigrade with acid rain falling. Nothing is more important than stopping this and there is still time. We need your help. Many of you are, no doubt, doing these things already. However maybe you could consider the following: ✓ Regularly mentioning this issue in your intercessions ✓ Encourage and support campaigning and lobbying with for example Derbyshire Climate Coalition and Christian Climate Action ✓ Use the Green Christian 'Joy in Enough' confession [see below] ✓ Use the Eco Church scheme from A Rocha to galvanise communities and congregations ✓ Cutting your own carbon use and that of your church

Life on our / God's beautiful planet is under threat. Let the church be the spearhead of the change we need to protect our children's future

Yours faithfully, Derbyshire Environmental Committee

Joy in Enough Confession

Our climate is changing, and we are changing it. We confess our carbon footprints, our failure to consider the consequences of our actions, our slowness to react. We are sorry for all the times we knew the right thing to do, but chose convenience. Your earth is exploited, and we are complicit in its exploitation. Species are lost, soil erodes, fish stocks decline, resources dwindle. We confess that many of us have taken too much, and not considered the needs of future generations. We have become consumers. We have turned a blind eye to greed. We confess our hunger for more, and our failure to appreciate what we already have. We live in a time of unparalleled luxury, and we are sorry that we have not been more grateful. The poor are left behind, even in this age of plenty. Human rights are pushed aside for profit. Wealth accumulates for the rich while the poorest still do not have what they need. We confess our apathy to injustice, and our haste in judging others. This is not who you made us to be. We have not been good caretakers of your garden Earth. We have not loved our neighbours. Forgive us, creator God. Forgive us. Renew us. Inspire us. And in your strength, God, we declare:

• Enough climate change: help us to take responsibility. Give us the wisdom to live appropriately, the urgency to act, and the courage to make changes. Give us the voice to call for change from our leaders, and the perseverance to keep asking. • Enough consumerism: give us what we need, God our provider. Then help us to find satisfaction and contentment. Help us to be grateful and generous. • Enough inequality: nobody should be left behind. You care for the poor, and we want to follow your example. Make your church a living example of equity and inclusion, and a powerful advocate for justice and sharing. We thank you for your kindness and your mercy. We look to your promise of restoration, and we move forward. Give us the strength to speak and to act - not out of guilt or duty, for we are forgiven and we are loved. Instead, we speak and act out of joy:

• joy in the living hope of knowing you • joy in serving each other • joy in the beauty and diversity of creation, your gift to us • joy in your provision and your care – joy in enough.

In your name we pray, Amen

I hope this summary of national and local initiatives, with the ongoing prayer we can say together in church and in our homes, gives you information, initiative to do what we can where we are, and encouragement.

Group Community Fire Safety – October 2019

Electrical Safety

It is always sad to report to you a death due to fire. Recently an elderly lady died when a ‘4 Socket multi adapter’ caught fire in her home. The Fire Investigation carried out by the Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service showed beyond doubt that the fire originated in this extension socket. The electrical wiring within the property was not to current safety standards and did not have any safety cut out trips or RCDs, (Residual Current Device). The appliances connected to this multi socket were drawing two much power and caused it to overheat.

• If you are concerned about the wiring in your home I recommend you contact your local ‘Certified Electrician’ to have a ‘Survey and Test’ carried out.

Below is some guidance regarding electrical safety.

This little formula is very useful. Wattage divided by Voltage = Amps Example a normal domestic Kettle takes 3,000 Watts of Power. Divide this by our voltage system in the UK of 240 Volts and it will tell you that it uses12 Amps of power. The nearest Fuse to this is 13 Amps so this should be the one in the Plug.

Washing Machines and Dryers all are 3000 Watts so should all have a 13Amp Fuse Fitted.

If you use appliances with a lower wattage. This has to be displayed on the rear or side of the appliance, ie. TV’s, Recorders, Sky Boxes, Computers, Monitors, Computer Consoles, etc; then please ensure you check it and carry out the simple formula: (Wattage divided by Voltage = Amps)

• Always check that you use the right fuse and don’t overload Plug Sockets.

• Make sure your Electrical Appliance has either a British or European safety mark when you buy it. • Certain appliances, such as washing machines, should have a single plug socket to themselves as the use a lot of power. 13 Amps. • Try to keep to ‘one plug per socket outlet’. • Keep your eyes peeled for any signs of dangerous or loose wiring such as scorch marks, hot plugs, worn cables and sockets, fuses that keep blowing or circuit breakers that keep tripping out for no obvious reasons, or flickering lights. • Check and replace any old cables and leads, especially if they are hidden from view behind furniture. • Never run cables under carpets and mats. If they get squashed they will overheat. • Unplugging appliances not in use helps to reduce the risk of fire • Unplug appliances when you’re not using them or when you go to bed. An overloaded adapter can easily cause a fire.

Tumble Drier Recall.

‘Whirlpool accepts need for recall following government intervention’.

You might have seen in the news that from 2004-2015 over 5 million tumble dryers were sold in the UK with a potential fault that could make them catch fire. In 2016 a scheme was introduced offering a free inspection and repair. However, less than half of the affected appliances have been checked and modified by engineers. Whirlpool has launched a national repair scheme to fix the faulty tumble dryers. If the tumble dryer is faulty, Whirlpool will send an engineer to visit to repair the faulty tumble dryer for free - or you can choose to have a replacement or an upgrade from £59.

If your tumble dryer was made before September 2015, please can you take a moment to see if yours is on this list of brands?

Hotpoint, Indesit, Proline, Swan, or Creda,

If you have one of these brands of Tumble Dryer, please phone 0800 151 0905 to check if your model is on the recall list.

‘Free’ Home Fire Safety Checks.

The Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Service are available to carry out Home Fire Safety Inspections, on appointment or if you require further advice on any of the items covered in this article please call the Fire & Rescue Service on 01773 305305

If anyone is affected by anything they have read in this article or wish to receive further information or guidance on any Fire Safety issues you can contact the Fire & Rescue Service on the above number. Please don’t forget, to test those Smoke Alarms. If you have, or suspect you have a fire in your property’ Get Out, -- Stay Out, -- Call 999.

A seasonal poem ......

Autumn 1964 by John Betjeman (with slight editing by CG)

Red apples hang like globes of light Against this pale October haze, And now, although the mist is white, In half an hour a day of days Will climb into its golden height And Sunday bells will ring its praise.

The sparkling flint, the darling yew, The red brick, less intensely red Than hawthorn berries bright with dew Or leaves of creeper still unshed, The watery sky washed clean and new Are all rejoicing with the dead.

The yellowing ash shows yet some green, The mellowing bells exultant sound: Never have light and colour been So prodigally thrown around; And in the bells the promise tells Of greater light where Love is found.

COFFEE MORNINGS

We had a pleasant time at our last Coffee Morning which took place on September 18th. Unfortunately, a few people were unable to come along for various reasons, so not many of us were present. However, a total of £56.00 was donated, some of it by people who were not actually present, which was most generous. The charity to which the donation has been sent is The Farming Community Network which is a voluntary organisation and charity that supports farmers and families with the farming community through difficult times.

A card showing a Hearing Dog has been received from Vicky Ryan, the Community Fundraising Manager for Hearing Dogs for Deaf People, to thank us for our last month’s donation to the charity and for our continuing support.

Future Dates: October 16th and November 20th both Wednesdays in the Village Hall at the usual time between 10.30 am and 12 noon. The charity to benefit from any donations on October 16th will be Readycall Macmillan which continues to provide people in the Derbyshire Dales who are affected by cancer or other life-limiting conditions. In November, Clare Sales will come along and bring a variety of Traidcraft items such as food, Christmas cards and gifts for us to buy. Please do come along. Everyone is most welcome. Ros Hunt

HARVEST SUPPER

The residents of Thorpe packed into the Village Hall on 23 September to celebrate the Harvest. The grace was said by the Reverend Carollyn McDonald and we were served the now traditional pie and peas followed by trifle. The auctioneering of the harvest produce was undertaken by Matthew Round and Chris Wainwright in their perfect “Ant and Dec” style. Donations of produce was generous and bidding likewise. The highest bids were for the cheese selection, a flower display and Sloe gin.

A challenge for the auctioneers to eat a chilli was made with a further donation! A total of £1048.70 was raised which includes 2 private donations after the evening. The proceeds are being split equally between the Padley Centre in Derby and Aqua Box based in Wirksworth.

Our thanks to Will and Sue and all the helpers that made the evening such a success. The event definitely showed the village hall being fully utilised and enjoyed, giving impetus to the proposed refurbishment works.

Unapproved Minutes Minutes of Thorpe Parish Council held on Tuesday 3rd September 2019 at 7.30pm in Thorpe Village Hall

Present: Councillor A. Bock (in the Chair) Councillors C. Garrett, L. Frith 6 Parishioners

Public Participation

None.

1108. Apologies

Councillor D. Belton and J Bailey.

1109. Election of Officers

David Morgan resigned on 16th May 2019. This is due to a conflict of interest with his role on the Derbyshire Constabulary and Crime Commission. The vacancy for a 5th councillor will be advertised on the notice boards.

1110. Declaration of Members Interests

No matters raised.

1111. Minutes

The minutes of the meeting held on 7th May 2019 were approved.

1112. Ongoing Matters

● Village website – Nothing to report.

● Closure of public toilets – No news at present. Councillor Fitzherbert who attended the meeting confirmed that there is no news from Derbyshire Dales District Council with regards to the sale of the toilets.

● Telephone Box refurbishment – The works have not been undertaken to date. So far we have been unable to get a quote from a decorator. There is a possibility of volunteers undertaking the work.

● Potholes/road maintenance – We are very pleased to report that Digmire, Hall Lane and part of Church Lane have been resurfaced by the County Council approximately 2 months ago. This has been done to a high standard and all villagers are happy that this work has been undertaken. Our gratitude was conveyed to John Bailey who was instrumental in persuading the County Council to undertake the works. A letter of thanks will be sent to Councillor Simon Spencer who is responsible for highways and ensured the works were undertaken.

● Flooding of Digmire Lane/Hall Lane – As the roads have been resurfaced and are at a higher level, hopefully this issue no longer exists.

● Public Liability on Parish maintained land – It was agreed to accept the quote of £140 for a tree survey on the Wellingtonia tree at the bottom of Hall Lane.

● Grounds Maintenance – The village green has now been mowed. The Chairman thanked Cyril Challinor for his hard work and in particular for the strimming of Peveril Hill.

● Peveril Hill BT works/Broadband – Villagers are encouraged to fill in the on-line request for Fibre. Whilst we have Fibre in a cabinet within the village, it needs to be distributed to all the houses.

● Defibrillator – A new battery and pads have been installed.

● Notice Board – It is still the intention to move the second notice board from Spend Lane to the village hall as the second notice board is in much better condition.

● Thorpe Village Hall - The new village hall committee chaired by Jane Morgan is seeking funds for the works. To date the rear toilets have been re-roofed. Internally the ceilings in the toilets have been re-plastered and new lights fitted. However, there is a considerable amount of work needed to the toilet areas. Whilst a figure has not been given it is envisaged it will be in excess of £20,000. The village hall is seeking funds from a number of sources including the Dove Dale Dash, grants from the local authority and fund-raising events. They are also seeking funds from Thorpe Parish Council. This is either a donation from surplus funds or from the increase of the precept for 1 or 2 years. After a discussion it was decided that this matter should go to a vote to all villagers for their thoughts.

1113. Finances

Cheques issued:

Cyril Challinor £ 96.00 Andrew Bock/refund for Deliberator batteries and pads £ 82.50 Derbyshire Dales District Council - election expenses £ 105.36

Monies received: None.

Balance sheet up to 3rd September 2019: Current account - £4,585.08 Deposit account - £1,054

1114. Planning Application

A planning application for the conversion of a barn to a single bedroomed holiday accommodation at Ash Cottage, Thorpe has been submitted. No objections from Councillors. This is to be confirmed to Peak Park. A notice has been displayed on the notice board informing villagers of this application.

1115. Correspondence

All general correspondence has been circulated to the Councillors.

1116. The date of next meeting is Tuesday 3rd December 2019 at 7.30pm at the Village Hall.

1117. Other Matters

There is an invitation by the Reverend Carollyn McDonald to a Peak Five Away Day on 28th September at St Oswald’s Church Hall.

Councillor Fitzherbert has confirmed that he still has funds available for good projects from Derbyshire Dales District Council (he has a budget of £900).

The footpath signpost on the track to Coldwall Bridge has fallen down. Derbyshire County Council to be informed.

Can the Peveril of the Peak be signposted with a brown sign as there are a considerable number of requests for directions?

Meeting closed at 8.30pm.
