With it comes the responsibility of working to make the magazine both interesting and informative for the whole of our village community. I must praise Malcolm Clark for the excellent work he did in continuing his predecessors’ efforts to develop the magazine for the entire community. He agreed to accept the role of editor for a limited time but still made it his own and I shall continue to look for ways to make the magazine both relevant and useful. We must also be grateful to our contributors for the varied and fascinating material that they provide and encourage everyone to consider whether they could put pen to paper. Finally, thanks to all our advertisers for showing confidence in us and effectively sponsoring our magazine. Without them, we could not continue to publish free of charge.

We walked from Flushing around the point to Mylor Churchtown. It was blowing a gale but the blue sky got bigger and the hedgerows were full of bluebells and campion and what I indiscriminately call cow parsley, the white filigree stuff which seems to appear first. It is the best time of year with the trees just out, the ferns unfurling their bishops’ crosiers and the foxgloves nearly ready. We were all making a pilgrimage to a sacred place, the church of St Mylor, much as the saint himself might have done when he settled here and founded a place and a habit of worship 1600 years ago. By coincidence, this is the weekend when the diocese comes together in celebration of the carrying of the light of the Gospel into the county by so many Celtic saints all those years ago. So on Saturday morning I shall pick a sacred flame from our deanery collection point at St Gluvias. It will have been lit from a torch at Chapel Carn Brea on the evening before the arrival of the Olympic torch. Somehow I shall keep it burning (Health & Safety, Risk Assessment boxes ticked, rest assured) ready for our Sunday service when we, along with parishes throughout the diocese, will celebrate the coming of those old Celtic saints to our shores, bringing with them the flame of the Gospel; it will be the centrepiece of a service of prayer for renewal and revival. We shall pray together: Lord of our lives, your saints of old brought the message of your love to these lands many years ago. As we give thanks for them, we rejoice that you call and commission us as your saints today to pass on the light of your glorious gospel to the people of our own time. Perhaps I am wrong to do so, but I picture our saint up to his belly button in the cold sea, singing, along with the psalms he would have known by heart, ‘St Patrick’s Breastplate’, which ends: Christ be with me, Christ within me, Christ behind me, Christ before me, Christ beside me, Christ to win me, Christ to comfort and restore me. Christ beneath me, Christ above me, Christ in quiet, Christ in danger, Christ in hearts of all that love me, Christ in mouth of friend and stranger. Christ be with you this Pentecost. 4 Parish of St Mylor With the Mission Church of All Saints Church, Mylor Bridge www.stmylor.org.uk Services for June 2012 Sunday 3 June Services Sundays In view of the road closure and 8am Holy Communion, 1662, St Mylor 9am Holy Communion, CW, All Saints Diamond Jubilee Celebration 10.30am Parish Eucharist, St Mylor 8am BCP Holy Communion 4pm BCP Evening Prayer, All Saints (said), St Mylor Tuesdays and Fridays 9am Parish Eucharist, St Mylor 9am Morning Prayer, All Saints Wednesdays No 9am service at All Saints 10am Holy Communion, St Mylor No 10.30am Service at St Mylor 11am Holy Communion, All Saints No Evensong at All Saints Priest-in-Charge: The Revd Roger Nicholls (01326 374408) The Vicarage, 17 Olivey Place, Mylor Bridge, Cornwall, TR11 5RX Lay Reader: Dorrit Smith (01326 374361) Churchwarden: Judy Menage (01326 259909) email:[email protected] Parish Church Clerk: Pauline Bryant PCC Secretary: John Clark (01872 865974) 5 Community News and Views Book Group: Parrot and Olivier in America by Peter Carey This complex and, at times, quite challenging book, charts the histories of Parrot and Olivier and their arrival, from post revolution France, to mid 19th century New York, with its very different attitudes to social class, democracy and the acquisition of wealth. The book has some wonderfully witty, descriptive and Dickensian moments as the past and present are tantalisingly revealed through the twists and turns of the plot, seen through the differing perspectives of the two main protagonists, who also give the book its narrative structure. Olivier, a young French aristocrat is drawn, by Carey, almost as a caricature of a pampered and snobbish product of his class and the older Parrot, son of an English printer who, when his father is arrested for forgery, ends up by circuitous routes and with varying talents, in Paris. Their lives are controlled and bound together by a shady, enigmatic and manipulative Marquis who is responsible for dispatching them to America, initially in the roles of master and reluctant secretary/servant. However,an unlikely friendship develops as each embarks on a voyage of self discovery and takes advantage, or not, of the opportunities of this New World. It is well worth persevering with this book. Joanna Robertson Mylor Local History Group held an excellent social event in the Tremayne Hall entitled Music and Song of Cornwall and Beyond, featuring a performance by Roger and Vivien Bennett from Looe, who sang a variety of Cornish songs, many of which the audience joined in singing. There was also a delicious buffet supper and the whole evening was thoroughly enjoyed by members and visitors alike. Thanks to Jill Quilliam and her helpers for organising a lovely evening.

The Mylor Singers’ Summer Concert entitled ‘A Diamond Celebration’ is to be held on Saturday 9 June in The Tremayne Hall. It will start with a buffet supper at 7 pm and there will be much audience participation during the concert. Rousing patriotic songs will be sung (we will expect you to join in) plus other songs from Cornwall, England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales, thus making a very varied programme. A raffle will be held and the tickets are £5.00, available at the door. The choir has loved rehearsing and we hope you will get as much pleasure in watching as they have in practising.
