Cover illustration by Peter Ritson F Christmas Bulletin 2020 The editor is greatly indebted to the many volunteers who have helped with the Bulletin throughout this extraordinary, virus-ridden year.

For our printing we are grateful to Dawn Saunders, and for the ‘wholesale’ packaging and delivery operation our thanks go to Mary Marshall, Pat Mattimore, Jean Richards, Rosemary Tilden, Lydia Wanstall and Judy White. Last but by no means least, the door-to-door deliveries to over 900 Blewbury homes have been handled by Lyn Blackie, Penny Brassell, Patti Brown, Alison Brooks, Chris Cambray, Chris Cook, Claire Eisenhandler, Mary Gaines, Lara Humphries, Eve Johnson Houghton, Margaret Lamble, VéroniQue Lavorel, Brenda Magnay, Marion Malone, Liz Mather, Trish Mather, Pat & Bernard Mattimore, Sue Mills, Lesley & John Ogden, Meg Prior, Paula Sibley, Iona & Theo Tonnet, Judy White and Mike Wrottesley. If we have forgotten anyone, and we may well have done, please let us know and accept our sincere apologies. WE WISH EVERYONE A HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND A PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR. RECYCLE YOUR CHRISTMAS TREE FOR CHARITY This year you can once again recycle your Christmas Tree and spread a little seasonal good cheer to the children and young adults of Helen and Douglas House. On Sunday 10th January, from 10.00 to 12 noon*, Steve & Ben Strange will be at Savages to collect donations and turn your tree into wood chip. Thank you. *Please bring your tree only between these times!* 2 LAL GUNAWARDENA I would like to thank our many friends in Blewbury for all the lovely messages of comfort and support given to me and our families following the sad news of Lal passing away in October. We are so lucky to live in such a wonderful caring village. Many of you would know that no one was safe walking by the front of our house if Lal was cutting the grass or sweeping leaves, without Lal saying 'hi, how are you'. A job that would normally take probably a half an hour would take three times that long and Lal would say, 'people keep stopping to have a chat', but I know he loved to chat himself. So thank you all. Unfortunately due to the current situation, we were unable to have a proper memorial for Lal and I am sure some of you would have liked to attend the funeral in November. Thank you to everyone that was outside our house to say farewell. Hopefully we will be able to hold a memorial service and celebrate Lal's life at a future date. Sue Gunawardena A ‘THANK YOU’ FROM DOROTHY Dorothy Hone would like thank everyone who has written to her and expressed their sympathy following Malcolm’s death. She hopes everyone will understand that she will not be sending Christmas cards this year, but would like to take this opportunity to send the Season’s greetings to all. See p7 for an appreciation of Malcolm - Editor VILLAGE HALL REFURBISHMENT We’ve resurfaced Heather Way and the car park and upgraded the drainage to prevent the regular flooding in front of the Post Office. Remaining works on the hall – gutters and some decorating – are also being completed in preparation for re-opening in the New Year. In the meantime, take a look at the gallery of photos of the refurbished Hall we included in the ‘Venues’ section of the village website https://blewbury.co.uk/venues/village-hall-refurbishment/picture-gallery/. Looking forward to being able to use the Hall as soon as restrictions allow in the New Year and a Merry Christmas to everyone who has supported its refurbishment. Steve White UNITED CHARITIES OF THE ANCIENT PARISH OF BLEWBURY Registered Charity No: 203538 Are you struggling to make ends meet? Suffering financially because of Coronavirus? A reminder that the United Charities are able to support residents of Blewbury, Upton & Aston Upthorpe who are in need. If your situation is as a consequence of the Coronavirus you can apply through the charity for assistance from the Council Covid fund and, if for any other reason, from our own charitable fund. If you would like to apply for support from either fund there is a short application form which has to be completed. These can be picked up from the Post Office or requested by email to [email protected] Help can be provided to complete the form if necessary, and all applications will be dealt with confidentially. We do urge people to apply as the Covid fund money has to be distributed by March 2021 and we would like to ensure that all of the grant is used. Applications for reasons other than Covid can be made throughout the year. We look forward to receiving your applications. > See p19 for news of a paid position with the United Charities - Editor REVISED 94 BUS SERVICE FROM MONDAY 4TH JANUARY! A New Year present from Thames Travel: more buses, earlier and later buses, AND 6 buses each way on Saturdays! The revised service will run linearly from Didcot through East Hagbourne, Blewbury, Upton, Chilton to Harwell Campus and back again, but unfortunately West Hagbourne’s only stop will be at the Horse and Harrow. You can now download a pdf copy of the new timetable from the Thames Travel website at thames-travel.co.uk/routes/94, and it should be displayed at bus stops from the official start date of January 3rd. There will be no changes to the 94S buses on school days. As now, a single vehicle provides the entire service including the 94S School bus. The school service takes priority, which explains why the first direct bus from Blewbury to Harwell Campus does not get there until 0932. If you need to get to the Campus earlier you have to take a bus in the opposite direction to Didcot Parkway and transfer to the X32. Jo Lakeland (for Parish Transport Representative) BLEWBURY POST OFFICE NEWS We are back to our usual hours, mornings & afternoons, and Saturday mornings too! We will be closing on Christmas Eve at 12, and will be closed until Tuesday 29th, Wednesday 30th & Thursday 31st (all of which will be mornings only) Then we will be closed until Monday 4th January, and will be open our usual hours. You will have heard the news that Royal Mail are putting their prices up from January 1st, you can buy 1st and 2nd class stamps (standard & large) which will revalue themselves, so it’s worth buying extra before the price rise. I’ll be home for emergency gas, electric and mobile phone top ups, my mobile is 07825 154842. Finally, don’t forget: 6pm on Christmas Eve, national event, stand on your doorstep and ring your bells for Santa! We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, peace and joy and health and happiness to you all, Love from Karen, Maggie, Michael & Katrina 3 G 4 JAMES FRANCE James’s family would like to thank everyone in Blewbury who sent cards, letters, flowers and kind wishes, after his death in August. He would have been 90 this December. James was born in Brussels and grew up in occupied Denmark before being sent to school in England. After gaining a degree in history at Oxford he returned to work in Copenhagen, where he met Diana. They married in London in 1957. In the late 1960s they moved to Cottrills in Blewbury with their two young daughters, where they lived for over forty years before moving to the house built at ‘the top of the garden’, designed by their late son in law. James set up six independent toy shops in Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and London, and spent his weekends gardening. He loved the Blewbury Festival because this allowed him to ‘nose’ around the Open Gardens to see what others were doing in theirs. After he retired he wrote four books relating to the Order of Cistercians and received a doctorate from Roskilde University, Denmark, in 2002. His last book, British Pioneer of Danish Furniture, about his father’s business, was published in 2016. James was made a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London in 1998. He became a skilled Bookbinder, repairing books for his alma mater, neighbours and friends. He remained a devout Catholic throughout his life. Lydia France MEMORIES OF SHIRLEY KAY My first memory of my cousin Shirley is one Christmas at Uncle Tom and Auntie Jessie’s house, when I was put to bed upstairs while the grownups had a party. When it was over my father woke me up and carried me down those long, winding stairs where golden-haired Shirley with her long plaits was standing. I remember her simply looking at me and smiling and then touching my cheek… Even at my young age I sensed she was a special person.
