It’ll never come out ‘It’ll never come out.’ That was one of the sayings of a dear aunt within the family whenever anyone was trying to take a photo. She often said it at weddings in earshot of professional photographers who were far more likely to know what they were doing than that aunt with her (in those days) rather basic little instant camera. You see it was all to do with light. Aunty knew that for her pictures to come out you needed light; lots of it and preferably a good flash. I gather wedding photographers, especially when there is a white dress involved, rather prefer a dull day so they can adjust exposure and aperture to see detail on the fabric, rather than a dazzling white burn out in the middle of the picture with a head on if you’re lucky. Aunty was very keen the heads should be in her photos.
Of course in the dark days of January and February, the flash cube on her camera would be working overtime. Professional photographers would have all kinds of sophisticated lighting equipment and digital wizardry these days to make the photos special.
Way back beyond the flash gun and the strip light, there were candles. We think of them as romantic, festive, celebratory. Great artists like Caravaggio (one of my favourites) would use candlelight and directional daylight to draw the observer’s attention to what was important for them in their picture. That
particular style was known as Chiaoscuro. One dictionary describes it as, ‘The underlying principle that solidity of form is best achieved by the light falling against it.’ Light changes our perception. Think of a spotlight on an actor on a stage, a child’s face lit up with birthday candles, the single light of the Easter (Paschal) candle symbolising the dawning of Jesus’s resurrection light.
By now, our memories of Christmas day may have faded and the bills are in. 40 days after December 25th is the official end of the Church’s Christmas season. That day (February 2nd) is known as Candlemas. As with many Christian festivals, missionaries and teachers found new significance in the folk festivals people had been celebrating for years. So come the faint glimmerings of a change in the season a link is made and light takes on a new significance. It’s Candlemas. The story is remembered of Mary and Joseph bringing their baby, Jesus, to the Temple. There were a couple of people there who had been waiting all their lives for the Messiah – God’s anointed one. Simeon and Anna were traditionally of a great age. Simeon takes the child in his arms and guided by the Holy Spirit declares that in this child he has seen God’s salvation, ‘a light to lighten the Gentiles and the glory of God’s people, Israel. (Luke 2:32)
The light of Jesus, the Messiah, was to change the way everything looked in the world. This light would help to show up what was real and solid, what was wrong and right. It would light the way for people to know they are loved by God. At Candlemas, the church remembers Simeon and Anna, Mary and Joseph and Jesus as the one who is light for all the world and all time.

A Northumberland Tale continued from October edition Milfield in Northumberland is the birth place of Josephine Butler a prominent social reformer, advocate of the rights of women and a heroine of mine. David’s cottage lies within the Parish of St Gregory the Great Kirknewton, a small church nestling in the foothills of the Cheviots. All the Parishes in Glendale and Whittingham publish a monthly newsletter called The Cheviot Herald. I came upon this article in the May edition and with so many people today feeling marginalized and when we have all been encouraged to use our vote I thought you might find this article written by our neighbour and PCC member Lynda Cairns (with her permission ) interesting.
KIRKNEWTON I look forward to May with some trepidation, as Parish Clerk for Wooler, it will be a busy month, with civic elections and the election of new parish councillors this year. At National and Local level the election of our representatives is an important right won by much campaigning and physical hardship during the 19th and early 20th centuries. We think particularly of female emancipation during May when on Sunday the 28th we celebrate the life of Josephine Butler one of the forerunners of social reform and a woman fiercely committed to the rights of women, particularly to those living completely outside the circle of polite Victorian Society. She was of course closely linked to our part of the country, beginning with her birth at Milfield Hill, her baptism on the 30th May 1828 at St Gregory’s and ending with her death at Galewood on the 30th December 1906 and burial in the Church Yard here in January 1907. She began her reform efforts with visits to the local workhouses where she found that women in particular, once trapped there stood little chance of improving their lives. She was also responsible amongst other important reforms for the Married Women's Property Act of 1882 being passed. This gave women the right to keep their property, possessions and money when they married. She set up a refuge for women, found positions for many girls and also campaigned for better educational provision for them. In this context she is associated with Newnham College Cambridge, a women only college, which was co-founded by Millicent Garret Fawcett, feminist, intellectual and another tireless campaigner for women’s rights and particularly for their right to vote. A statue of Dame Millicent Garret Fawcett is to be unveiled in Parliament Square in 2018 the 100th year since most women over 30 were given the vote. On Josephine Butler’s death Dame Fawcett wrote that “she was the most distinguished English woman of the 19th Century”.
Post Script: Josephine Butler’s maiden name was Grey. The Greys were a prominent Milfield family, related to Lord Grey the Prime Minister who is responsible for the introduction of Earl Grey Tea! The Grey family is also related to the Earls of Stamford of Dunham Massey. What a small world! David is in touch with members of the family who are helping with further research into their connections with Milfield.
As 2018 is the 100th anniversary of most women over 30 being given the right to vote I hope you might find the continuation of my article relevant and of interest.

The Gift of the Magi….
By the time you are reading this, Epiphany will be long forgotten. The story of the journey to visit the new born babe and the delivery of gifts will be a distant memory. ‘The Gift of The Maji’ I am talking about is a story. The story was initially published in The New York Sunday World under the title "Gifts of the Magi" on December 10, 1905. It is a short story, written by O. Henry (a pen name for William Sydney Porter) author of ‘Cabbages and Kings’. Along with the ‘Christmas Day Football Match’ story this one is another favourite of mine although until recently I didn’t know of its title. I first heard this story in a school assembly when I was about 7 or 8 and have heard it many times since; in fact I have retold it in one of my own school assemblies. As a young child it must have had a lasting impact on me if I am still discussing it forty years later! Even more of an impact as I obviously listened intently to the whole assembly! (I hope the children in my assembly listened just as attentively and also got something out of this story of selflessness). In a nutshell then… Jim (Mr. James Dillingham Young) and his wife Della live modestly in an apartment and only have two possessions to their name. Della has beautiful long flowing hair and Jim has a gold pocket watch that has been passed down the generations from grandfather to father to grandson – Jim. As Christmas Eve dawned, and with no means to buy a gift for Jim, Della visits Madame Sofronie’s hairdressers where she sells her beautiful hair for $20. She searches for the gift she knows that Jim will adore and eventually returns home with a fob watch chain and the hope that he will still find her attractive with her short hair. Jim arrives home uncharacteristically late and as he walks through the door, stops in horror when he sees Della with her short hair. Della explains that she sold her hair in order to buy him his gift and he then gives Della her present. Tortoiseshell combs to hold her hair back - the horror on his face purely because his gift is now useless as she has short hair. Della hands Jim his present – the beautiful fob watch chain. Jim then explains that he sold his watch to buy the hair combs. Despite their gifts now being useless Della and Jim realise how strong their love is for each other and how priceless. Their sacrificial gifts of love are compared at the end of the story to the Biblical Magi. As a child I found this story quite sad, ironic and frustrating yet I still realised the true meaning of the story. However, now I am married and have children I understand it so, so much more. Expensive gifts have their place, of course! A new car, a diamond ring or a trip to an exotic holiday destination are not to be sneered at! But gifts that are to be really cherished are the ones that have cost in more ways than just flashing a credit card. Gifts that have been thought out or planned and saved up for. Gifts that have cost the giver time and effort. Also those gifts that cannot be wrapped up. The gift of friendship, the gift of love, a thoughtful word, a helping hand to a mother who is struggling with young children, a cup of coffee with a lonely neighbour. These kind of gifts, especially the ones that include some sort of self- sacrifice, are so special and so meaningful. In this day and age in a culture of instant gratification and throw-away society, it is important that the selflessness shown in this story is not forgotten and indeed practised. To some this is second nature, others have had positive role models in their lives who have demonstrated this and are able to replicate it, others may not have been so lucky and may need to be shown examples of it in order to understand.
Just as the magi gave gifts to Jesus, in his name may we give gifts of love, compassion, patience and forgiveness to others. And may we do it selflessly.

FAIR TRADE FORTNIGHT 26 February – 11 March “STAND UP FOR FAIRTRADE Farmers”
Many famers and workers are still being exploited - despite working Hard to produce the goods we eat, drink and wear every day, too often they are paid too little . . .
Is it fair that they don’t earn enough to feed themselves or their families?
‘Fairtrade Fortnight’ this year asks that we
“CLOSE THE DOOR ON EXPLOITATION”
Farmers like Marcial Qunitero, running banana and coffee farms, now supported by Fairtrade, are fighting to break the stranglehold of poverty prices, and transforming their communities.
See www.fairtrade.org.uk for their stories
Throw open your doors and extend invitations to your friends and neighbours and serve Fairtrade products, for breakfast, brunch, or afternoon teas, quiz nights and bake-offs, there are many ways you could “invite people in to Fairtrade”.
Using delicious and high quality Fairtrade products is an important way to bring people in and spread awareness.
PLEASE buy Fairtrade products whenever you can! We are a Fairtrade Parish so we all need to support these farmers

Hale Barns Scout Group Update
The Scouts have had two highlights this term. Firstly they won the County Orienteering competition, on Winter Hill, Bolton - for the fourth time in a row. Well done William, Patrick, Ben & Chris. Secondly, 10 Scouts and leaders went off in their minibus to the Ogwen Youth Hostel in Snowdonia. The aim was to climb Carnedd LLewlyn (3485 feet) & Carnedd Dafydd (3425 feet) – which they achieved, in somewhat misty conditions. Well done William, Chris, Ben M & Ben H and three leaders. Over the same weekend our Cubs excelled themselves in the District Club Swimming, winning the crawl and coming second in the tournament overall – well done. Earlier in the year the Cubs camped at Wincle in Derbyshire and explored the Blue John Caves. We want to re-start our colony of Beavers, but as yet have no leaders. Are there any volunteers out there…? Finally we want to thank all of you for supporting our recent very successful Jumble Sale. For the record, we hold two Jumble Sales each year: one during the Whit break; the other during the October half-term. We can collect and store jumble at any time (within reason!). We now have some vacancies for Scouts (10 - 15 years of age); and Cubs (boys & girls 71/2 - 101/2 years of age). Scouts meet at 7.30pm on Fridays; and Cubs at 6.30pm on Mondays. For further details please contact Graham Young (0161 980 3613) or Grahame Simmonds, Scout Leader (0161 980 7700) Fiftieth Anniversary Weekend
Recollections from two attendees…
The eagerly awaited celebration of the Fiftieth Anniversary of the consecration of All Saints Church, Hale Barns, took place on the weekend of 4th and 5th of November. It was definitely a game of two halves. Saturday was the fun day. The birthday lunch was held in the parish hall which had been festively and tastefully decorated for the occasion.
A group of young musicians from Year 7 at Saint Ambrose RC College played instrumental solos and ensemble pieces which added significantly to the happy nature of the event. The players were smart and accomplished. They were also good evidence of the positive and friendly links which All Saints works hard to foster with other churches and organisations locally. They deservedly joined us for lunch which exerted a not negligible impact on the average age of attendees!

Fiftieth Anniversary Weekend (Contd.)
After the excellent meal which was prepared and served by a team of obvious experts, one or two formalities helped mark the occasion. Firstly, the organist was awarded a rare speaking part. He shared some researches into bloopers, misprints and ambiguities found in church magazines and notices. These were clearly enjoyed, and as one member of the audience remarked, 'That sort of thing could never happen at All Stains.'
Churchwarden June Tracey, who has worshipped at All Saints for 40 years, reflected on its development. She commented on the visionary clergy who have encouraged the congregation to embrace change. She is proud that All Saints Church is acknowledged in the diocese and beyond as a genuinely interfaith community. June shares the general pride at the appointment of Mother Clair as Rural Dean of Bowdon. Finally she invited those present ‘to raise their glasses to the past, to look to the future and to seek God's blessing on the continuing work at All Saints under the guidance of Mother Clair and Father Gordon.' The response was unanimous and suitably enthusiastic.
Mother Clair, who is known to have friends in high places, shared with the gathering a letter, purporting to be from Saint Paul. In a sort of down to earth Epistle for Today, 'he' wittily appealed to the congregation at All Saints to be in agreement and to avoid strife in worldly matters, such as tea versus coffee and the pitch of hymn tunes. He encouraged perseverance in the use of technology and advocated the avoidance of despair over blocked drains and dodgy heating. Guidance was provided on how to cope with the enthusiastic use of glitter by the Little Saints, a problem which has caused a few susceptible parishioners to see red, and occasionally blue and green. Finally, he affirmed the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. Mother Clair's creativity was much appreciated and no thunderbolts landed.
In contrast, Sunday's Jubilee Eucharist was celebratory and suitably dignified. A prayer from the Consecration Service of 1967 was included, as was a thoughtful piece of prose defining the church as 'A People Place' by William J Crockett. The hymns were suitably varied and ranged from the joyful to the meditative. Michael Wakelin was formerly the BBC's Head of Religious Broadcasting. He is a Methodist Local Preacher and, as guest preacher for the service, he delivered a pacey and forceful sermon. This was illustrated with carefully chosen photographs which were varied and themselves eloquent. He voiced his concern about the way the church is perceived by society, with its dynamic and transformative salvation, often transformed into an irrelevant and cheesy dullness. We need to change the erroneous perception of Jesus as blond, photogenic and 'nice'. We should be aware of our imperfections but, convinced of the love of God, emphasise the compassionate and merciful strengths of Jesus's character and teaching. We need to get the Christian message into the world as a dynamic and challenging story that brings good news to the poor, sets at liberty those who are bruised and broken. Only then will ‘justice roll down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream.’
After the service a celebratory birthday cake was shared, raffle prizes were won, or not, and the congregation dispersed, fully appreciative of the event and grateful to the many who had contributed to its success.
…and…
On arriving at All Saints Hall I was given a warm welcome by our vicar Mother Clair and her team, and of course a glass of bubbly. On looking around the room an amazing sight met my eyes, with decorated tables of balloons, napkins, candles and party poppers etc. The place mats were taken from an aerial view from photograph of The Square before it was demolished (photographed about 1999/2000). After purchasing some Raffle Tickets, I then made my way to look at the old photographs that were on display, some of the people in the photographs I had forgotten
about and brought back many memories and sadly memories of the people are no longer with us. While we sat down to a very enjoyable meal we were accompanied by St Ambrose College band playing a variety of music on the stage. After the meal was over we were treated by our organist to a selection of very amusing rhymes and ditties. We then had a toast and a group photograph before going home after spending a very enjoyable lunchtime. The following day after morning service we went into All Saints Church Hall where the raffle was drawn and we had a glass of bubbly and our 50th anniversary cake was cut, eaten, and enjoyed by all.
A visit to ‘Season’s Greetings’ at the Garrick Theatre
With just five weeks to Christmas, and with exquisite timing, the Ladies Fellowship organised a parish visit to The Garrick Theatre to see Alan Ayckbourn’s ‘Season’s Greetings’.
Season's Greetings is a play in three Acts but in two halves. Set at Christmas, the play takes place over two and a half days, Christmas Eve to Boxing Day. Husband and wife, Belinda and Neville have invited family guests, including Belinda's sister Rachel and her new writer boyfriend Clive. Also included in the group were Neville’s near-psychopathic and gun crazy uncle Harvey, who wears a knife strapped to his leg and is keen to give all the children guns for Christmas! Neville’s tipsy sister Phyllis and her boring GP husband Bernard with his penchant for producing a puppet show for the whole family to sit through. Completing the party were Neville’s self-absorbed friend Eddie and his heavily pregnant wife Pattie. There were also several references to children, who were neither seen nor heard, in this production.
With such a combination, we laughed pretty much all the way through, even in the midst of the emotional carnage, as an illicit tryst under the Christmas tree is interrupted by a mechanical toy, a desperately unhappy wife tries to rouse her husband from a drunken stupor and in the explosive finale, violence as Harvey shoots the philandering boyfriend, Clive, assuming him to be a looter. Of course, just as the incompetent Dr Bernard pronounces that it’s the end of Clive, he recovers, leaving Neville and Belinda together, with Neville ignoring what has happened!
The set was cleverly presented to show various rooms of the house in which the action takes place, as well as rooms it doesn't, like the bedrooms and kitchen. The centrepiece is the huge glowing Christmas tree in the hallway, and a sitting room with glowing television set, and a dining room stage left. To avoid the audience missing out on what's going on in certain rooms, there are no walls, just skirting boards along the floor.
The Garrick has assembled a company of talented comic actors. Belinda seethes with contempt for her husband (an odious Neville) and a burning desire for her sister’s boyfriend, while Pattie is almost unbearably poignant as the pregnant wife struggling to get her loser of a husband to acknowledge her at all. Bernard’s humiliation as the childless puppeteer, whose show turns into a disaster, is a comic wonder to behold, while Uncle Harvey’s thuggish menace are equally fine.
The verdict: a very funny, and entertaining evening, well-worth seeing, even if only to prime you for your own family Christmases to come!

HELPING CHILDREN in KENYA Transforming young lives
Through your support for our mission events we have been able to help fund surgery for another disabled child to enable him to walk unaided. Now we can bring you pictures of Hillary Simiyu before his operation, when his right foot was pointing backwards, and after surgery, when at last he is standing alone in his splints, with a straight right foot and a smile!
Hillary is now 14 years old but having been born with a deformed twisted foot his parents found it difficult to look after him, and he has been looked after by his Grandmother at her rural home. She didn’t know what to do either and couldn’t afford medical care, so took no action for years - not uncommon in rural areas where resources are scarce. Hillary remained at home with Grandmother but he felt miserable, like an outsider compared to his friends. Sometimes he would be mocked. Getting from one place to another was always very difficult for him. Eventually another relation heard of IcFEM Mission’s clinic and took Hillary there, where he was assessed as still suitable for corrective surgery. The good news is that, with our funding help, he has had the corrective surgery and now after a few months is doing really well and walking without any aids. The family want to thank us for making this possible “Thank you to everyone who made this possible, for all your support and prayers. God Bless to the whole church”. Many families can’t afford the cost of surgery. it’s wonderful to be able to help. We hold Hillary in our prayers and delight in hearing that his life is being transformed.
