On Saturday 24th June, assuming all goes to plan, I’ll have been licensed as priest in charge of Grasmere and Rydal parishes. June 24th is the ‘half way’ festival in the Christian calendar, overlaying ancient midsummer festivities with the feast day of the Birth of John the Baptist. Six months before Christmas, we start celebrating by remembering the coming of John, the forerunner and herald of Jesus himself. It’s a festival of new beginnings, as the Christian story once again unfolds in an annual cycle teaching us and reminding us of the good news Jesus brought the dark world into which he was born long ago. New beginnings indeed, as St Oswald’s and St Mary’s Churches set out on the next stage of their very long journeys through time in these wonderful parishes. Things new can bring hope and promise, but also foreboding and apprehension about anything unfamiliar. For a new priest and for the parish people, there are new beginnings. Hope and promise - and maybe a bit of apprehension all round! The Christian story of God’s love dwelling within us and among us has probably been told here since the early days of Roman Empire faith, continuing with Oswald of Northumbria in the 7th Century and on through everyday life: schooling, farming, literature, welcoming visitors, homemaking, businesses, leisure and relaxation. Bright threads of faith weave through each strand of life, as the natural world and changing weather create a timeless warp and an ancient weft for each of us to encounter. Many have sensed God’s presence in these dales and on the fells. With us in the quiet of a misty dawn over the waters and in the roaring gales bending down the stunted fell trees. A loving presence, through the warmth and kindness and grit of people here. Resident or visitor, infant or pensioner, each person is part of the rich weaving of God’s creation. God is indeed for all, in these sacred places and communities. As I join you on a shared journey, we’ll listen together for God’s rustling presence among us. We’ll open our eyes each day to the glories of God around us and give thanks for the love and kindness of people’s caring in often- unnoticed ways. We’ll sing and pray together, hear one another’s stories and welcome all who come among us. God is indeed for all, in every life, on every day. 2. May God be with us in the coming days and guide us into this new phase, so that we may celebrate God’s love in our time and pass on God’s good news, given in Jesus, in our turn. I look forward to getting to know you. Gill Henwood The Revd Gill Henwood MA was Rector of Ribchester with Stydd in the Ribble Valley 2010-16 and moved to Hawkshead with Stephen last year. Her previous parishes as a full-time vicar were Riding Mill (Tyne Valley) and Nunthorpe (south of Middlesbrough). Gill trained for ordination on the diocesan course (for Blackburn and Carlisle) based at Rydal Hall 1994-7 and was ordained deacon in Blackburn Cathedral on 28th June 1997, priest a year later. She was Rural Chaplain for Blackburn Diocese during the Foot & Mouth Disease crisis and involved throughout as a referee with the ARC-Addington Fund for relief. A short posting to St James’s Piccadilly in central London prepared her for applying for posts as vicar (incumbent) full time. Whilst at Nunthorpe, Gill was elected to General Synod, the ‘parliament’ of the Church of England, for York Diocese. Coming to Rydal and Grasmere is in some ways for Gill a ‘coming home’ after 20 years of ordained ministry in four dioceses, Carlisle being the fifth. It is a joy to be back and to reconnect with people here and with favourite family haunts. Gill and Stephen’s family are fully fledged and work in London and Leeds, visiting the Lakes when they can. Rydal Hall Community Rydal Hall, the diocese's Christian conference and treat centre, is looking to grow its community members. The community live, work and grow together at Rydal hall. For information and an application form, please visit www.rydalhall.org 3. WI NEWS For our June meeting Rydal Hall head gardener, Kate Jackson, took 17 WI members and friends on a guided tour of the splendid gardens, thought to have been designed originally by Thomas Mawson for the de Fleming family. Kate’s knowledge and enthusiasm was infectious and everyone was full of admiration for this young woman, faced with such a daunting task. Kate and her teams of occasional volunteers manage on a very tight budget and in often-challenging weather conditions. She spoke about the history of the Hall and gardens and architectural garden design. She described the huge task of restoring the flowerbeds, neglected for decades and decimated by Storm Desmond, whilst also developing new areas such as the “quiet garden” and incorporating artworks by resident artists. Afterwards the short WI business meeting was held during tea in the beautiful drawing room. President Jennifer Hardisty and Programme Secretary Myra McCraith enjoyed an entertaining afternoon listening to potential new speakers at the Kendal regional office. More than 100 Westmorland WI members enjoyed the 10 “auditioners”, many of whom will be kept busy with future bookings. Five members are looking forward to strawberry tea at the Villa, with a talk from food historian Ivan Day. The next meeting is on Thursday 13th July, when representatives of local WIs will be invited to join members at a Garden party, to be held at the Rectory. Grasmere members should arrive at the Rectory at 1.30pm for the business meeting and to prepare for the guests who will arrive at 2.30pm. Weather permitting, everyone will do the Riverside walk before tucking into a magnificent afternoon tea. Plan B is a quiz prepared by Jill Morrison, with tea inside the rectory. The August meeting at 2pm on Thursday 10th, will be a Eurythmy session with Melissa Harwood. Non-members are welcome to join us (£3 including tea). Eurythmy is always entertaining and educational, and you can be as active as you please. Wear comfortable clothes and have fun! To avoid clashing with the Westmorland County Show (14th), the September meeting will take place on 7th at 2pm in the Tithe Barn. Speaker Heather Slater will talk about life as a western woman living and working in Saudi Arabia. Myra McCraith 4. Knit and Nat Firstly, our mystery is solved; the knitting on my door handle had been left by someone who has been kindly donating craft items to us after a family house clearance. I have finished the mittens that were partly knitted (and found in the bag), they will be included in our Boxes of Hope shoebox appeal in November. Our meetings in July will be on Friday the 14th and Tuesday the 25th in the Reading Room from 2pm until 4pm. We will meet in August on Friday 11th and Tuesday 22nd. We welcome anyone, any age, to join us for the afternoon or any part of it. There is always a cup of tea or coffee, usually biscuits, plenty of chat and often useful advice and not always knitting related. We had a visit from our youngest members over their half term break and we were impressed with their knitting of clowns, they are competent knitters as well as being good company. We seem to be progressing well with our charity knitting and we now have some villagers who do not come to meetings but are knitting for the projects. This is rather like when we knitted the bunting for the cycle race passing through the village. While thinking about these ‘home knitters’ brought to my mind the Grasmere ladies who knitted for the troops in WW1, they knitted socks so that every Grasmere man serving received two pairs of socks at Christmas; would these be the first Grasmere Knit and Nat group? I like to think they met up and knitted together but I have no evidence for this, just my imagination.

    The Leisure Identities of Rural Youth: Tradition, Change and Sense of Place in Lakeland, 1930 – early 1950s. R. Andrew PhD 2012 1 The Leisure Identities of Rural Youth: Tradition, Change and Sense of Place in Lakeland, 1930 – early 1950s. Rebecca Claire Andrew A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Manchester Metropolitan University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History, Politics and Philosophy, Manchester Metropolitan University 2012 2 Abstract Rural young people have received scant attention in the existing historiography of youth, leisure and the countryside and this thesis redresses such neglect, by examining the leisure experiences of young workers in the rural locality of Lakeland, a region in the south- eastern corner of the Lake District, between 1930 and the early 1950s. The thesis challenges the urban emphases of existing historical studies of youth and focuses on a period which is also relatively overlooked in historical work, particularly in relation to the 1940s and early 1950s. It uses the leisure experiences of young countrymen and women across these years to explore the interplay between tradition and change, highlighting the extent to which young people’s leisure in the region was shaped by a lack of commercialism and a striking level of adult supervision. It identifies the complex ways in which young people in Lakeland mediated or even rejected the influence of popular culture and negotiated adult intervention in their leisure. It also reveals the central part that young people played in the maintenance of ‘traditional’ leisure activities, which has been overlooked and under-estimated, yet which played an important part in connecting young people to a strong sense of place identity throughout the period.

Palmer On a rough, boisterous and rainy day the stormlights playing among the high Lakeland fells are wonderful indeed. They compensate for an occasional wetting, for a struggle with wind and rattle of drops. The gleam among the ridges finds a window through the clouds here, hangs a curtain across the hills there, drops out of view, a living thread, is merged and swamped in reflections from passing clouds.

It is now some months since I com- mitted the manuscript of this Lake Guide to the publisher's hands; and now that the work is just ready to appear, I am thankful to him for the opportunity of saying in this prefatory page, with what pride and pleasure I have looked over the accessories and embellishments with which by his zeal and spirit, and by the admirable cooperation he has been so fortunate as to secure, my humble work is elevated to a quality of real importance. 11. PEEPACE. When I look at Mr. Htjthven's valuable geological Map, Mr. Aspland's beautiful illustrative Views, so finely engraved by- Mr. Banks ; and, again, the Botanical contributions, so essential to the perfect understanding of the Lake District, it seems to me that the book has become, by all this aid, one which may not only be in every tourist's hands, but find a place on the library shelves of those who have never visited, and may not contem- plate visiting, this district of England.
