Ryk's Ramblings CONGRATULATIONS DUE Ryk’s Every now and again, very special occasions crop up involving special people, and we have one here spanning Ramblings over 65 years. One the delights of living where we On June 19th, 2019, Pam and Len Quince do is that we are surrounded by celebrated 65 years of marriage with fields.

Ryk PSPA 2019 MIKE 2014 2015 ` 2016 Mike Brown was a healthy, active member of our village churches and many other organisations until some noticeable changes began to manifest themselves. It took three and a half years to reach a diagnosis for Mike after exhaustive tests and referrals, none of which were conclusive until a very perceptive neurologist referred us to Professor James Rowe at Cambridge University, who is doing amazing research into finding why PSP happens and ways of making earlier diagnoses. It is not a hereditary condition and although there is no cure for PSP, treatment is beginning to become a reality to make the sufferer's life more manageable. Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) is a little known chronic debilitating neurological condition caused by the premature loss of nerve cells in parts of the brain. Over a very short time this leads to difficulty with balance, movement, vision, speech, swallowing, empathy, and communication. One of the saddest parts of all this is that there is no loss of mental capacity and the sufferer is fully aware of the deterioration. Combined international research - in the UK, USA, Germany and Australia particularly - means that more and more health professionals are becoming aware of the condition and its symptoms. Just 5 years ago when Mike was finally diagnosed but too late for any intervention, PSP was rare and something that a GP might never come across in his/her entire career, but that is changing and can only be for the better. Early diagnosis is crucial if a cure is to be found. So heartfelt thanks to all those dedicating their lives to researching such a devastating condition. In memory of Mike and in support of others with PSP our family and friends have made great efforts to raise funds to this end - Bingo sessions, Craft sales, Afternoon Teas, London Marathon, hiking the entire length of Hadrian's Wall, Race Nights etc. Our latest fundraising attempt was to man a stall at Emmanuel Church, Parson Drove Summer Fair on 1st June with a POCKET RAFFLE which raised the sum of £268.50.

The same son suddenly appeared ‘on line’ on Sarah’s Facebook page last week to tell us that he had safely arrived in Doha airport en route to Kenya - but disaster! – he couldn’t take a picture out of the hotel window because his camera kept steaming up!

In Fen country horses and cattle were driven along roads or tracks called ‘droves’; Parson Drove was one of these. Originally the village was a chapelry of Leverington, known as Leverington-Parson Drove, but became a parish in its own right following the Leverington Rectory Act of 1870.
