Just Be with Brenda Louw
How our lives are changing! If you’re feeling rather lost, uncertain or worried, shocked or alone, it’s important to acknowledge and respect the intelligence of these feelings, and to meet them with as much mindfulness, gentleness and compassion as we can. Try this out:
Stand where you are, and notice how you feel – in your body, your mind, your emotions. Then, with your feet comfortable on the floor, squeeze every part of your body for a few seconds. Let go, and then start to shake your knees, so soon your whole body is wiggling and shaking off all its tension. Feel like a floppy ragdoll! After a minute or so, stop, smile and invite every exhale to lengthen and slow down. As you breathe out, relax any physical tension – soften your jaw, your eyes, shoulders, belly – and anywhere else you might be holding. You can even hum with each exhale. Then, for a few moments, notice the sounds around you, notice the sights around you, notice any sensations in your body. This mini practice will help you connect to ‘the moment’, taking some much-needed pauses from worry and overthinking.
The Long Melford Yoga Studio has gone ‘virtual’ with pre-recorded and live online yoga classes, meditation for beginners, ‘on the go’ pauses and guided relaxations and meditations (for free/donation) for anyone to explore. Have a look at www.longmelfordyoga.co.uk . We wish you and your families well.

Melford in Bloom
Melford in Bloom went live at the end of May with the arrival of ten hanging baskets, seventeen natural looking barrel planters and sixteen 'barrier baskets' which will hang on the railings each side of the Chad Brook bridge. The hanging baskets are running from outside the Long Melford Antique Centre as far as the URC/Library on Little St Mary's. The team would have liked to extend the hanging baskets all the way along Hall Street but each lamp post has to be tested by Suffolk Highways and they charge £75 per post, so the aim is to licence more hanging baskets each year or a gradual basis.
These displays are in addition to the six large railway sleeper planters which were donated by Kier Group and which have been on display around the village centre for several weeks.
In addition to the new baskets and barrels, work has been taking place on the various 'little greens', they have now been repaired and the grass re-seeded. Some of these greens are now hosting barrel planters and it is hoped that residents and visitors will park carefully and avoid damage to the repaired ground. There are also plans in place to keep the 'mini-greens' looking neat and tidy over the summer months.
There is no doubting the negative impact on the village of the Coronavirus restrictions. However, it is hoped that as the nation moves towards a time when these restrictions are expected to be eased, the village centre and its businesses will be given a lift by becoming part of the 'In Bloom' movement. It is also hoped that a smarter village centre will help attract visitors to Long Melford when restrictions on tourism are lifted. There are plans to extend the project to Long Melford Primary School after it returns in due course and also to add further displays, both in the village centre and at selected entry points to the village.
Melford in Bloom exists because of the hard work and skills of its team of volunteers and also because of support from the Parish Council. Since March the team has had to adapt to the virus restrictions, with care that volunteers and contractors operate in accordance with government restrictions and with due attention to social distancing protocols.
As well as thanks to its team of volunteers, Long Melford Parish Council and Melford in Bloom would like to acknowledge the support received from various local people and organisations including Halstead in Bloom, Sudbury in Bloom, Long Melford's East of England Co-op Foodstore, Long Melford Fire Station, Kier Group, MGT Suffolk, Acton Sand & Soil, JCS Hi-Torque, Perrywood in Sudbury and the Hyde Parker family, as well as a range of local contractors including Robert Clubb, Stuart Poole, Dave Carter, David Jackson and Paul Wilson.
The organisers would also like to acknowledge a generous Locality grant arranged by Councillor Richard Kemp and to highlight the important role played in this project by Tom and Rob Jackson of the John Smith plant nursery at Constitution Hill in Sudbury, as they have supplied many of the plants for Melford in Bloom whilst providing plenty of help and advice to the volunteer team.

Stained Glass Fundraising
I am sure all readers will be aware of the beautiful medieval stained glass in Holy Trinity, Long Melford. But how many are aware how very special it is?
The glass dates from the late fifteenth century when it was made by craftsmen of the Norwich School of glassmaking. The glass is unusual in that it survived the iconoclasts of both the Reformation and the Civil War. It escaped the two waves of vandalism largely because it was high up in the clerestory – the upper part of the nave. It was only moved to the north aisle of the church in the twentieth century. The mainly secular images show donors who financed the construction of the huge church, plus the friends and family of the principal funder, local wool tycoon John Clopton. Their portraits provide a unique record of the costumes, heraldry and hairstyles of the late 15th century. In addition, there are a few extremely rare religious images including those in the window above the north door. This window has already been restored as a trial which was paid for by the generosity of a member of the Clopton Association of America in association with the Friends of Long Melford Church.
The glass has become badly damaged by centuries of rain and pollution and now needs to be painstakingly cleaned and restored When clean again the windows are put back in new frames with the addition of a layer of hand-blown, laminate glass to protect the glass from further corrosion. The restoration of this first window took place at the studios of Canterbury Cathedral and it took three months to restore and reinforce it and it was put back in the church just before Christmas. The window featured on our cover has the pieta as a central motif, Mary holding the crucified Jesus in her arms. On either side of these central figures are St Dominic and St Peter Martyr. Underneath is a tiny fragment of more ancient glass showing three hares (or rabbits, - the argument is hot in academic circles!). This is a very rare symbol, which, although pagan in origin, has come to be associated with the three persons of the trinity – and therefore appropriate in our beautiful Holy Trinity Church in Melford.
We have formed a committee to raise funds for this project which will be very costly. We are in the process of applying to the Heritage Lottery Fund for a grant (all grants currently on hold as the lottery fund is concentrating on virus-related giving) and we are also planning a series of events which will start to take place once we are sure that the current threat of virus is over.
If anyone would like to make a donation or get involved in the fundraising project please contact Sally McDonald [email protected] .

SESAW News
“Listen!” said Mum as I wandered outside, “you can hear a pin drop”. I was puzzled about the pin but yes, it was unnaturally quiet. Although oblivious to the trials of human life, we animals are aware that all is not well. Visitors no longer appear at the gate but can phone for help or advice regarding any animal in need. Some of the volunteers are missing and we dogs file out singly for walkies, which limits the customary chatter and banter.
Ollie (the Black) Cat misses his mid-morning snacks since our carers no longer linger over coffee and biscuits. Our bored resident ginger puss sits on the fence in full view of a dog kennel, just to tease the occupant. Even Beryl the hen puzzles over an empty garden and vacant armchair and the fundraisers are nowhere to be seen. Mum says they are busy at home, making beautiful things to raise money for SESAW.
The ladies work to the highest standards but there is a gap in our craft market. We need talented people who can crochet animals or make small card boxes to suit our jewellery. If you are handy with a hook or can box clever, please phone or text 07720 079370 to discuss how you can help. By the way, homemade candles also sell well.
We dogs are glad of the lovely weather as we accompany Mum around the garden on her evening rounds and then it's bedtime for all the animals including me, Kenny (the Boss) Chihuahua.

VE Day 75
Like many of you, I was disappointed at the cancellation of the planned celebrations. It felt fitting that we should commemorate 75 years since the guns fell silent at the end of the Second World War in Europe. In true British style, we adjusted our plans to comply with the Covid-19 rules at the time and what a great display we Melfordians put on.
Thanks to the information shared on the ‘Long Melford’ and ‘Keeping Melford’s Spirits Up’ Facebook pages, it was suggested that we take part in the nationwide stay-at-home street party. We were encouraged to decorate our houses in red, white and blue, observe the 2-minute silence on our doorstep, watch Churchill’s speech on the BBC at 3pm and then have tea & scones in our gardens.
The rules and advice for the pandemic have and probably will continue to evolve but you may recall that at that time we were ‘allowed’ one hour to exercise each day. On VE Day, Thursday the 8th May, I used my hour for a cycle ride around the village to photograph the decorated houses. This was primarily for my 2020 Parish Recorders report, but as I spoke to residents on my way round (whilst observing the 2-metre distancing) they said they would like to see them published. I thought the Melford Magazine would be the ideal place. Whilst my time limit didn’t allow me to cover the whole village, take a look a see if you can spot your home?

News 15 Church Three Coronavirus Reflections … A number of people I have spoken to have said that they are not sleeping very deeply at the moment. It is not necessarily that they are anxious, or because the days are getting longer, or indeed because the dawn chorus has been wonderful. It is because our minds have a lot to adjust to each week as the coronavirus situation changes, and our minds are playing catch-up as we try to process all that has happened. Here are three of my reflections from when I have tried to nod off in the last week or so … Firstly, I have been heartened by the wonderful ways our communities have responded. Almost everyone has risen to the challenge of looking out for their neighbours. In addition to this our villages have also responded in more structured ways. In Alpheton there is a WhatsApp group. In Long Melford there is a Facebook group and a team of volunteers available to help any in need. In Shimpling there are regular newsletters and other on line resources. There is much more besides. Again and again I hear people saying how fortunate they feel to live here, due to the community, and of course due the beautiful environment we can all enjoy. If God is present when we love our neighbour, then we have arguably been closer to God in recent weeks. I have also been reflecting that this has been a season of contrasts. Indeed, as we commemorated VE day a couple of weeks ago I found myself wondering what it must have been like for the aircrews on the local bases. They flew out regularly exposing themselves to extreme danger; those who survived landed back in tranquil rural Suffolk. What extremes aircrews must have experienced within the space of 24 hours. Likewise, for some of us the recent weeks have been fraught with the stress of working on the front line, or losing our jobs, or sadly having to mourn the loss of a loved one. At the same time many of us are tending our gardens and ‘enjoying’ lockdown. These extreme contrasts are not easy to get our heads around. Thirdly, we are all starting to wonder, and perhaps worry about, what the ‘new normal’ is going to be like. Whereas in many ways it has been terrible, in other ways I think we have rediscovered our humanity and what is really important. Undoubtedly there is going to be a re-calibration of all sorts of things. As just one small example of what has changed, I was struck last week when I was contacted by a couple in their 80’s whom I have never actually met; they wanted re-assurance that we would continue livestreaming our services after the lockdown was lifted. Three months ago who would have believed that such conversations would happen? I am sure you have had many more reflections than these, and yours are probably more profound and insightful; I hope we can share them sometime. I certainly consider myself grateful to live in this community and can I thank you for the part you have played in bringing me closer to God. My prayer is that we will be able to embrace the good that has come out of this situation, Finally, I am reminded that Jesus told us not to worry because each day has enough worries of its own. So, I pray that we will have the strength and faith to face each day … and that we will be able to sleep well!
