Chloe Griffin cutting Jenny’s hair Summer holidays are over and schools are set to reopen. Pubs and Shops have reopened and as you can see, the editors have at last got haircuts. Keep fit classes have resumed in the open air – Matt Juby’s bootcamp class at the cricket pitch in Coldharbour was much enjoyed and Debbie Stafford resumed pilates classes in her garden in Abinger. Thank goodness the weather has been good enough for some open air events like the Bilberries concert. The Summer has been marked by some wonderful weather and here’s a poem by Eleanor (aged 7) which sums it up beautifully: Summer Holidays. Summer, summer, summer holidays, Summer is best, I really want to go on a quest, The Isle of Wight was fun this year, And the story ended in tears and tears, Now I'm back home I am better than ever, My water slide's great and also the weather, Welcome in summer holidays, it’s here better than ever, Wahoo! NEXT ISSUE: October 2020 Closes 1pm Wednesday 16th September [email protected] 2 3 Tony’s Letter Normally the September Newsletter has a piece from me sort of setting our sights for the Autumn. We are used to the changes that the new season brings. First time at school, maybe a new school, or possibly college or university. These in turn bring changes to home and household. For others, of course, the changes are the changes that nature brings - the shorter days and longer nights, the cooling of the weather, the leaves changing colour and beginning to fall. But this year there is a different feel. Even things that are familiar, this year have an uncertainty about them. As I look forward there are all sorts of questions about the future and what it will look like. I am uncertain about when the familiar will be re-established. There are decisions to be made but I feel ill equipped to make them because it may all change again before we have a chance to implement any decision we come to. We have constructed a life for ourselves that has tried to eliminate risk and chance as much as possible, and with good reason; but in the doing we have lost touch a little bit with the world as it is for many people, and in some areas we are finding it hard to readjust. For me, it has been a challenge to go back to Jesus’ words in the sermon on the mount. His insistence that putting our trust in God, seeking His Kingdom, and living out that Kingdom's values should be our priority. The rest he says will follow on. That is the matrix we should use in trying to sort out how we move forward in these particular times, and not just for these times, but really for a lifetime. A big thank you for all the kind messages of care and concern people have sent following my knee surgery. 3 4 Our Churches In June we saw the church doors open for private worship and in July Christ Church and St James opened for socially distanced services. Here are St James’ on July 19th and Christ Church on 26th July. Organising these services to ensure compliance with Covi-19 requirements has been challenging with the congregation seated – and carefully controlled walking up to the communion rail to take the communion bread - to ensure social distancing, the celebrant drinking the communion wine by themselves, using printed service sheets, everyone wearing face masks and without any singing – although some services have enjoyed organ music by Ed Sutton. But it’s worked well and the congregations have enjoyed being back in the churches. There have also been Benefice services at Wotton and Holmbury. The Leith Hill Ministry team, David Grundy, Virginia Smith and lay readers Hilary Swift, Martha Golden and Mad Berry provide weekly prayers and thoughts on the websites. Church Services Sunday 6th September Live Holy Communion Service at St. James' Abinger starting at 10.30am Led by Rev Virginia Smith Sunday 20th September Live Holy Communion at Christ Church Coldharbour starting at 10.00am Led by Rev Virginia Smith Details for the rest of the month may be found on the churches’ websites. 4 5 Sad Goodbyes Very sadly, three Coldharbour residents have died since we last went to press. Jenny Pilling who lived with her husband Norman in Spring Cottage. Gill Mills who lived in Mosses Wood Cottage. And Adrian Randag who lived at Kitlands. Jenny Pilling Jenny’s son Mark gave the tribute at the funeral service. He spoke very movingly on behalf of the family including his brother Dom, about his mother’s 35 year career as a teacher, a job she loved doing and cared very much about and also about her being a wonderful mother and grandmother. She was born in 1937 and after school she qualified as a teacher through studies at Royal Holloway and Oxford. Mark also spoke of something that all who met Jenny knew very well; her lovely, always cheerful manner and keen interest in people she met. She loved travel and also, evidently, liked to win battles with whatever bureaucracy she encountered. Mark also spoke about how Norman, who was also a teacher, had faithfully cared for her these past few years when she suffered from severe mobility problems. We will miss her cheerfulness and sense of fun. Adrian Randag. Adrian was not often seen around the village, but those who knew him speak of a friendly and engaging man. Villagers have written and spoken about him and what a good and proud gardener he was. His garden was beautiful and very well maintained. I am trying to find out more about him and his life and will include something about him if I can in the October parish magazine. One thing I learned is that only a few days before his death he was showing two villagers around that lovely garden and seemed to be in good health.

  • Box Hill, Ranmore and Denbies
    point your feet on a new path Box Hill, Ranmore and Denbies Distance: 12 km=7½ miles moderate walking Region: Surrey Date written: 2-jan-2017 Author: Fusszweig Date revised: 30-dec-2019 Refreshments: Last update: 18-mar-2021 Box Hill, Burford Bridge, Westhumble Map: Explorer 146 (Dorking) but the map in this guide should be sufficient Problems, changes? 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. High hills, green slopes, views, village, woodland trail, vineyard trail, long climb with steps In Brief This walk was originally done to work off the Christmas excesses and it did the job magnificently. The two beauty spots that feature here seem to be so well known, but somehow the walk shows up a number of surprises, so that you may feel that you are discovering something completely new. In the tradition of walks on this site, the route takes some unusual paths, familiar to locals but less known outside the area. The last stretch includes a bridge over the Mole, followed by a very long series of steps: not for the faint-hearted! Starting on the top of Box Hill gives you a good chance for an early snack and a refresher at the end and makes sure you don’t opt out of the steepest part of the walk. But you could equally well start at Denbies Hillside (begin from section 5 ) with the idea of a lunch break on Box Hill.
