We’re human after all! So it is with fear and trepidation that I’m going to suggest thinking about one more resolution! Looking around the churches of my benefice and the communities that surround them, I am deeply impressed by the dedication of those who give so much of their time and energy in a volunteer capacity – whether in church itself or in other organisations. I would like to thank each and every one of them because without their sterling work so much of what we hold dear in our communities would simply disappear. However I am also aware of how many organisations – including the churches – could do with so much more help. With the busy and pressurised lives that so many of us are living with it is understandable that many people feel that they simply don’t have the time or energy to commit to something else. For others, perhaps, a natural humility makes them think that they have not got anything in particular that they can offer and yet their gifts and talents may just be what is needed for a particular task or role. Whilst I can’t speak for the particular needs of other organisations, I do know that the churches would welcome offers of help in many different areas – church cleaning, flower arranging, churchyard gardening, occasional office work, event organising; ferrying the elderly to and from church; magazine distribution, moving heavy furniture for an event such as a fete etc. It might surprise you how much even the offer of an hour here and an hour there could make a difference. If you feel that this is a New Year Resolution that you could make (and keep!) then please telephone me on 01491 612494 or email me at [email protected] and I will compile a register of volunteers Christopher Idris Evans (Rector) 4 Churchwarden’s bit MARRAKECH MUSINGS I blame the muezzin. If he hadn’t called the faithful to prayer and this particular infidel to peevish, pre-dawn wakefulness I wouldn’t have felt guilty about wishing all the plagues of Egypt upon him and his children even unto the tenth generation. So I wouldn’t have resolved to make amends by seeking out the imam for a nice liberal discussion of our religious similarities. Man-to-man. Show him Mr Kipling was (almost) right: the colonel’s batman and Ibrahim Islam are brothers under the skin. That sort of thing. So I asked the steward of the riad we were staying in if he could arrange for me to visit an imam. “Of course,” he said, imperturbably (he’d been trained by Jeeves), “would five o’clock be convenient? Bring shampoo and a towel.” Towel? Shampoo? Ah, probably just some cleansing ritual, I decided. So at five o’clock I followed the steward down alleys, under arches, around corners and through a door into a windowless room bathed in a dim, religious light. I was a bit disconcerted to be told to undress; not something our own vicar expects after all, but when in Marrakech ... and more so when this chap appeared in nothing but his underpants: not something our own vicar ... But we churchwardens are trained to expect the unexpected, so I smiled and said I brought greetings from the Rector and Congregation of St Leonard’s. And he smiled and said “Welcome, my friend.” And threw a bucket of water over me. I began to Have Doubts. Well you would, wouldn’t you. I mean, I’m all for a spot of ecumenism but I can’t see this sort of thing going down well in Oxfordshire. (Though it might ease decision-making in the PCC. Hmm.) Wise readers will have realised that my Arabic isn’t as good as I think it is; non imam sed hamam – a sort of communal bath-house cum massage parlour. But we British don’t retreat in confusion when faced with set-backs; dear me no. Stiff upper lip. Re-group. Best foot forward. Besides, I’d heard about hamams: doe-eyed maidens massaging you with kitten skin mittens soaked in oils scented with all the perfumes of Arabia. I got their flint-eyed grandfather. With a scrubbing brush soaked in olive paste laced with sand. Followed by the water-hurler. Then came their father. He was the masseur and he Knew. He knew I had been thinking about the maidens and he knew what I had been thinking. And he avenged them. Arms that have these sixty years hung unadventurously at my sides were thrust into places known only to loofahs. Thighs accustomed only to a little, light, granddaughter-dandling were tuned to F#. Fingers and toes were forced to 5 renew an acquaintance that became distant in the last century (and the first half of the last century, to boot – Mr Atlee was Prime Minister). A back happy to hunch over a book was rudely unhunched. By being knelt upon and shoulders pulled upwards. There was more, including kneading and pummelling, but we shall draw a veil. Suffice to say that the climax of each exertion was accompanied by the masseur making long sucking noises, a hideous parody of kissing. Oh yes, he knew. Then, mercifully, the water hurler again. And a chance to scrabble feebly about the floor – no I can get up, thankyou, I’m, er, just looking for my shampoo. Grandpa helped me to the dressing room – only to stop me slipping on the wet floor, you understand. “Goodbye,” smiled the masseur, “please give my best wishes to your vicar and congregation.” Mike Gardner What wonderful reading with Mike and his adventures overseas. Meanwhile life at St. Leonards offers a full diary to tell you about for 2012 and I am trying not to feel intimidated by all we have ahead of us “Teach us Lord to have a grateful heart in 2012”. A dear friend reminded me of this recently, and it has rung very loud with me. So, I am determined to trust in our Lord that he will give us the volunteers, energy and expertise as the need arises as He did last year, with some amazing results, so without wanting to take HIM for granted, I am putting myself in a position of trust and gratitude... We are continuing with our consultations for the renewal of St. Leonards. This is a very important project and we so want to get it right. We are taking our time, every opinion and option offered is useful to us and prayerfully considered. We really want our Church to be relevant for the coming generations. Our wish list is for a usable, friendly, inviting space, yet still with a sacred heart. It is OUR CHURCH, for us all in Watlington, and we feel the responsibility of renewal is an honour to carry forward as these opportunities don’t come often in the lifetime of a Church. Having said that, we are so excited with some of the plans we have seen. Do please feel free to ask either Mike or myself where we are at, and if you have any ideas yourself, do let us know of them. Other events this year include: perhaps a visit to see Snowdrops at Swyncombe Church and the daffodils at Pyrton. Spring and the renewal of our land is a wonderful time to celebrate with our families.

    Historic churches in Berkshire Buckinghamshire Oxfordshire experience the passing of time visitchurches.org.uk/daysout 3 absorb an atmosphere of tranquility Step inside some of the churches of the Thames Valley and the Chilterns and you’ll discover art and craftsmanship to rival that of a museum. 2 1 The churches of the Thames Valley and the Chilterns contain some remarkable treasures. Yet sometimes it’s not the craftsmanship but the atmosphere that fires the imagination – the way windows scatter gems of light on an old tiled floor, or the peace of a quiet corner that has echoed with prayer for centuries. All the churches in this leaflet have been saved by The Churches Conservation Trust. The Trust is a charity that cares for more than 340 churches in England. This is one of 18 leaflets that highlight their history and treasures. dragon slayer For more information on the other guides in this series, fiery dragons and fearless saints as well as interactive maps and downloadable information, come alive in dramatic colour at see visitchurches.org.uk St Lawrence, Broughton 5 Lower Basildon, St Bartholomew 1 Berkshire A riverside church built by the people, for the people • 13th-century church near a beautiful stretch of the Thames • Eight centuries of remarkable memorials This striking flint-and-brick church stands in a pretty churchyard by the Thames, filled with memorials to past parishioners and, in early spring, a host of daffodils. Jethro Tull, the father of modern farming, has a memorial here (although the whereabouts of his grave is unknown) and there is a moving marble statue of two young brothers drowned in the Thames in 1886.

We depend on your feedback: [email protected] Public rights are restricted to printing, copying or distributing this document exactly as seen here, complete and without any cutting or editing. See Principles on main webpage. Nature reserve, high hills, views, woodland, pub In Brief This is a walk with legendary views over the Oxford plain from this high escarpment and National Nature Reserve. The main option takes you in and out of typical Chiltern woodland, rich in tall beeches, with open grassy meadows in between and an excellent and popular* stop for refreshments (to make a reservation* at the Fox and Hounds , ring 01491-612599). There are no unavoidable nettles so bare legs should not be a problem. The terrain is generally firm so strong walking shoes or trainers are adequate, except on the longer option in the wetter seasons when boots become a necessity. Your dog will thrive on the shorter options but on the longer option he will have to stay on the lead almost all the way. The walk begins at the Cowleaze Wood car Bird's Eye View park, near Lewknor, Oxfordshire, nearest postcode HP14 3YL . This car park is really a Aston long track, parallel to the road, with a number of Rowant parking bays.
