I know I should not be surprised but over the festive period you, the Villagers, raised a fantastic amount of money for charity. £456 for The David Cross Fund, after giving all the older people of Ecton a wonderful Christmas Lunch, raised just by signing the Ecton Christmas Card (a record, well done Denise!). The Christmas Festival with a visit from Santa (big thanks to John Buckley and all Santa’s little helpers) raised an impressive £1150 for the Church & Village Hall funds. And to our Carol Singers who raised £115 for the Yemen Appeal. Great example of our community spirit! Coming up soon you can dance away to ‘No Place Like Home’, take part in a Pancake Race at the Church and join the Ecton Walkers on their first walk (to remove pancakes from the waistline). More details of all these events and more in this months edition. Even more exciting is the return of Brown Bin collections starting on 10th March! Finally some of you will be aware that we had a serious incident in the village with a break in on the High Street. Fortunately no one was at home. These things often spur us into action, so a good time to beef up your home security. Enjoy the magazine and see you next month. Wendy Copy for the March 2017 magazine to Wendy Stephens email - [email protected] or phone 07986 557773 By 20th February www.northampton.minutemanpress.com 01604 493906 Ecton Village EGO’s Christmas Lunch Thanks to the generosity of Ecton residents and your kind Christmas messages 60 people enjoyed a lovely Christmas lunch, a visit from Father Christmas and great songs sung by the local school children. It was a really lovely day. As a result of even more generous donations this year we had a surplus of funds from the sale of Christmas messages and we are able to give £456 to the David Cross Fund which is administered by the Parish Council and is intended to provide outings for older people in the village. As we are all getting older the it would be nice if the fund could last longer. Ecton Golden Oldies We had a great time recently, enjoying a cinema afternoon. The film was The Golden Years and was laugh out loud funny. With ice cream, popcorn and tea and cakes a good time was had by all. Our next get together is on February 24th when we will be having fish and chips. We need to know numbers by the 21st and we will be in touch. Christmas Festival - Thanks to All Enormous thanks to everyone who helped, or donated prizes, or gave money and to everyone who came and supported the village Christmas festivities. I hope you will agree it was a lovely weekend with lots going on in the Church and at the Village Hall. The combined events raised £1,150 which has been shared equally between the Church and the Village Hall, a big boost to both coffers. Thank you very much. Neighbourhood plan Thanks to all of you who responded to the draft Neighbourhood Plan, the responses have been collated and we are now in a position to move on and complete the next phase of work. You will have another chance to comment on the plan at the next stage. Ecton Parish Council Ecton Parish Council’s next meeting will be Tuesday 21st March at 7.30pm. You can obtain a full copy of the latest Parish Council Minutes. Email: [email protected] Carol Singing Thank you to everyone who turned out to sing carols in the village on 16th December. We had a warm welcome in The Three Horse Shoes and at The Hall and together with a collection at Songs of Praise we raised a total of £115.45 for the Yemen appeal. There was a good turnout and enthusiastic singing. We are sorry the timing was a bit adrift and some people were not able to join us. We promise to be more careful about this next year. We look forward to doing something similar next year. Wendy Villette St Mary’s Church, Ecton CUPPA, CAKE, CRAFT and CHAT Our next get together is on Wednesday 8th February between 2pm and 4pm.

Jackie Buck Rectors Letter February 2017 I love the delicate flowers snowdrops produce at this time of year and look forward to them appearing, as they surely herald the coming of spring, along with winter aconites and early varieties of daffodil. Because snowdrops often flower around the beginning of February they are sometimes called Candlemas Bells, as the feast of Candlemas falls on 2ⁿd February. Candlemas marks the midpoint of winter, halfway between the shortest day and the spring equinox. In pre-Christian times, the day was known as the 'Feast of Lights' and celebrated the increased strength of the sun as winter gave way to spring. The weather for the rest of the winter is also said to be forecast by what happens on Candlemas Day: If Candlemas Day be fair and bright Winter will have another fight. If Candlemas Day brings cloud and rain, Winter won't come again. In the Christian traditional the festival commemorates the ritual purification of Mary, forty days after the birth of Jesus. On this day, Jesus was presented in the Temple by Mary and Joseph who, having gone to the Temple to give thanks for their son, are met by Anna and Simeon. The prophet Simeon takes the baby Jesus in his arms and calls him a Light to the World (Luke 2:22-38). Today candles are lit in church, to remind us that Jesus came to be a light to guide us in the darkness of the world and it used to be tradition that all the church’s candles for the coming year would be blessed at Candlemas.

  • RBWF Burns Chronicle Index
    A Directory To the Articles and Features Published in “The Burns Chronicle” 1892 – 2005 Compiled by Bill Dawson A “Merry Dint” Publication 2006 The Burns Chronicle commenced publication in 1892 to fulfill the ambitions of the recently formed Burns Federation for a vehicle for “narrating the Burnsiana events of the year” and to carry important articles on Burns Clubs and the developing Federation, along with contributions from “Burnessian scholars of prominence and recognized ability.” The lasting value of the research featured in the annual publication indicated the need for an index to these, indeed the 1908 edition carried the first listings, and in 1921, Mr. Albert Douglas of Washington, USA, produced an index to volumes 1 to 30 in “the hope that it will be found useful as a key to the treasures of the Chronicle” In 1935 the Federation produced an index to 1892 – 1925 [First Series: 34 Volumes] followed by one for the Second Series 1926 – 1945. I understand that from time to time the continuation of this index has been attempted but nothing has yet made it to general publication. I have long been an avid Chronicle collector, completing my first full set many years ago and using these volumes as my first resort when researching any specific topic or interest in Burns or Burnsiana. I used the early indexes and often felt the need for a continuation of these, or indeed for a complete index in a single volume, thereby starting my labour. I developed this idea into a guide categorized by topic to aid research into particular fields.

His letters repay scrutiny in terms of the various qualities they reveal: the reflection of the wide range of Burns’s reading, his remarkable powers of recall, and his capacity for mimicry; the diversity of voices and styles employed, indicating a considerable dramatic talent; the narrative verve and mastery of rhetoric that mark him out as the novelist manqué; and the psychological implications, in that the chameleon capacity of Burns the writer exacerbates the problems of identity of Burns the man.

    Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research, volume 311 1st International Symposium on Education, Culture and Social Sciences (ECSS 2019) Robert Burns and A Red Red Rose Xiaozhen Liu North China Electric Power University (Baoding), Hebei 071000, China. [email protected] Abstract. Robert Burns is a well-known Scottish poet and his poem A Red Red Rose prevails all over the world. This essay will first make a brief introduction of Robert Burns and make an analysis of A Red Red Rose in the aspects of language, imagery and rhetoric. Keywords: Robert Burns; A Red Red Rose; language; imagery; rhetoric. 1. Robert Burns’ Life Experience Robert Burns (25 January 1759 – 21 July 1796) is a Scottish poet and lyricist. He is one of the most famous poets of Scotland and is widely regarded as a Scottish national poet. Being considered as a pioneer of the Romantic Movement, Robert Burns became a great source of inspiration to the founders of both liberalism and socialism after his death. Most of his world-renowned works are written in a Scots dialect. And in the meantime, he produced a lot of poems in English. He was born in a peasant’s clay-built cottage, south of Ayr, in Alloway, South Ayrshire, Scotland in 1759 His father, William Burnes (1721–1784), is a self-educated tenant farmer from Dunnottar in the Mearns, and his mother, Agnes Broun (1732–1820), is the daughter of a Kirkoswald tenant farmer. Despite the poor soil and a heavy rent, his father still devoted his whole life to plough the land to support the whole family’s livelihood.

Kenneth Simpson A Highly Textual Affair: The Sylvander-Clarinda Correspondence I like to have quotations ready for every occasion.- They give one's ideas so pat, and save one the trouble of finding expression adequate to one's feelings. 1 These words are from Robert Burns's thirteenth letter to Mrs. Agnes McLehose. It is something of a back-handed compliment to Clarinda, mistress of his soul, to admit that she is beyond the compass of his originality; hence he has quoted 2 stanzas from the anonymous song "What art thou Love!" pub­ lished in The Hive, 1724. Elsewhere in this letter he quotes from Pope's "Pro­ logue to the Satires," Goldsmith's "The Deserted Village," the anonymous song "Goodnight and joy be wi' you a, '" and-from himself-his scathing epigram on Elphinstone's translation of Martial. A letter of 19 January 1788 contains nine quotations (Letters, I, 209-11); and in his letter of the following night he cites a couplet from Pope's "Eloisa to Abelard" but with the genders transposed: '''Hide it my heart, within that close disguise,! Where mix'd with God's her lov'd idea lies'" (Letters, 1,213).
