From the Editor
Nick Mason
Dear Readers,
Exmoor Ponies wintering on the heath at Hollesley
This month’s cover photo is part of our main feature about our local shepherd
Jane Calvesbert, written by Nick Mason (p.4-6).
An article on how to protect your child in the digital age can be found (p.14-16)
and news about the continuing roadworks in Heath Road (p.16) There is also a
new look to Cafe Sundae at All Saints’ Church Hollesley on Sunday 15 February
(p.11). Why not go along for discussion, newspapers, bacon sandwiches, tea or
coffee?
We bid a moving goodbye to Roy Ravenhill our WWII hero (p.13). His funeral
details unfortunately are not available as we go to press.

Our shepherd
Sandlings Team
We have all seen the sheep and ponies grazing on the Commons and heathland
and may have seen Jane who looks after them, a woman who has no problem
controlling her flocks. You should see her doing the shearing! Jane was born in
Capel St Mary: her father was a mechanic and her mother a caterer. Her
association with the land came through her grandfather who farmed at nearby
Washbrook. After leaving school she trained as a chef but soon after went to
Otley College to study for a diploma in Animal Science and Conservation.
Typically she was student of the year! A couple of years ago Jane and Ben
Calvesbert were married, Ben is the Sandlings manager; they live in Sutton.
Jane with Tay and Ethan
Jane volunteered for the Suffolk Wildlife Trust for a couple of years before being
employed by them in 2005. Since then she has taken the job on efficiently,
expanding the role, especially with regards the acquisition of ponies to help
graze the local heaths. Officially she is called the Grazing Officer for the Suffolk
Wildlife Trust but to most of us she is the shepherd. As well as up to 550 sheep
there are also 9 Dartmoor, 18 Exmoor and 17 Konik ponies to look after. The
sheep numbers vary and will increase when lambing takes place. There have
been a mixture of sheep with Beulah Speckled Faced at first but more common
now are the Hebrideans and Norfolk Horns. The Norfolk sheep are white and
can be easily seen and counted. Hebrideans, on the other hand, are brown and
can take ages to find sometimes if they are just laying down taking the
afternoon sun.

Sandlings Team
So what’s it all about the newcomers might ask? Well coastal heathland is a
semi-natural habitat that is generally an open landscape of heathers and acid
grasses with occasional gorse bushes and trees. There is far less of it than
there was relatively recently. In this habitat are found specific communities of
invertebrates and birds. The most obvious birds here are Woodlark, Dartford
Warbler, Nightjar and Stonechat with the occasional Stone-Curlew thrown in for
Jane with Exmoor ponies which aid heathland management
good measure. The Silver-studded Blue butterfly is our rarest local butterfly but
there are rare moths as well. All the species require the open, acid
environment to survive and would disappear without it.
The Suffolk Wildlife Trust, with the backing of the Broxstead Estate, the owners,
has over the years worked to bring back the open nature of the heaths which
were becoming afforested because of the lack of traditional management –
commoners using their rights to remove bracken, turf and small trees for firewood and a lack of sheep that used to graze the area. Once back, the habitat
needs to be kept open and that’s where Jane comes in. The sheep graze the
grass and young shoots of pine and birch preventing further growth of trees. It
was noticed that the sheep alone were not enough and that is why ponies were
added to our heathland management machinery.
So the heaths are grazed, but not permanently by sheep. Jane, sometimes with
the help of volunteers, moves the animals around. They are not normally
present throughout the winter but are moved to SWT meadows and Foxburrow
Farm for the harshest months. The Exmoor ponies can stay out there all winter,
being used to the terrain, vegetation and harsh climate of Cornish moors.
You may ask about the Konik ponies. Well they are an animal more used to
wetland habitats so will be found on grazing marsh reserves such as Redgrave
& Lopham Fen. The RSPB has Koniks (and Exmoors) on Hollesley Marshes
throughout the year.

Sandlings Team
Jane is not restricted to the east of the county, either. Some of our ponies are
used to graze Knettishall Heath a SWT reserve way over west near Thetford.
Altogether there are 18 sites at present where she uses the livestock to do
management work, including our Sandlings heaths. Sometimes cattle are
needed to do some of the grazing and, in that case, a grazier will be used.
Whilst we can see working dogs with shooters, it is unusual around here to see
working sheepdogs. Tay and Ethan are just that – working dogs both collies
that do a lot of the
work. Tay is the leader
in all that they do and
Ethan follows. However,
they are both very good
in different ways. Jane
has them just where
she wants them – you
can’t afford hangers-on
in this job. The dogs
are either at home, in
Sutton at night or
sometimes left in their
run at work.
Jane is the first person
to say just how important volunteers are in
her job. And she has
some excellent ones.
There is a rota and they
may help with moving
the animals, shearing or
doing regular checks
especially at weekends
when she can get some
rest! Unless of course
Jane seen with Tay and Ethan and a baby goat
there is a problem, in which case she is on 24 hour call-out. And what might
that problem be? Well on the whole there are few health worries until dogs
come on to the scene. There have not been any serious dog-attacks recently
but over the years they have occurred (especially when travellers were present
on site). Having to cope with mauled sheep is a downside to her job and one
that clearly hurts.Like a good referee, who should not be noticed unless something extreme happens, so it is with the sheep. Jane runs a rigorous, volunteeraided set-up with common sense and respect for her animals.
Nick Mason
Addendum: I have been asked on several occasions about the fence going up
on the northern side of Lower Hollesley Common, on the right going out of
Hollesley. The Broxstead Estate which owns the Commons is having this
erected so that it too can be grazed, probably with ponies initially. It is not an
anti-deer fence as some people have mentioned. Deer will easily jump it.

The Vicar writes …
Dear Friends,
February is quite an exciting month. For one thing it is the shortest month and
so, when it begins, we know it won’t be long until March when there will be so
much more daylight and buds and shoots
will start to appear in earnest. Meanwhile,
there’s so much going on under the
surface. In the beehives, the queen will
start laying eggs again – just a few each
day to begin with but gradually increasing
so that by the time the flowers blossom,
the worker bees will be mature enough to
go out and collect the nectar.
Cheryl Gray
February is also a time of change in the
church. It’s hard to believe but by the 2nd
of February, Christmas Day was 40 days
ago and we end our celebrations of Jesus’
arrival and begin to look forward to his
death and resurrection at Easter. Lent
begins this year on 18th February.
Early signs of Spring in February
Traditionally a time when new Christians prepared for baptism at Easter, the 40
days of Lent are observed nowadays by many Christians as a time for ‘taking
stock’ – having a spiritual ‘spring clean’, reassessing priorities, looking at how
we sustain and grow our relationships both with God and with other people.
Often it is helpful to do this ‘taking stock’ in company with others. There is a
variety of groups meeting at different places and times across the peninsula
and they are open to all. Two local ones are at 1.30pm on Wednesdays (starting 18th Feb) in the David Barnsdale Centre Community & Prayer Room, Sutton
Heath and at 7pm on Wednesdays (starting 25th Feb) at 9 Oak Hill, Hollesley.
Full details will be available on my ‘blog’ – http://ruththerev.wordpress.com;
also on Facebook : ‘Deben Eight Churches – Suffolk’.
Our series of Lent lunches also begin on Ash Wednesday 18th February – a
short service of midday prayer (Holy Communion on 18th Feb) followed by a
light lunch of homemade soup and bread with donations going this year to the
Red Cross. The series continues at 12 noon each Saturday :21st Feb at Shottisham Church and 28th Feb at Boyton Church.
But before Lent, on Sunday 15th February, there will be a special Valentine’s
edition of Café Sundae, celebrating all loving, committed relationships. Do
come and join us for breakfast or coffee and cake, chat with friends or relax
with the Sunday newspapers.
Wishing you every blessing,
Ruth Hatchett

Once more the bells have marked the start of a New Year, wishing all in
Hollesley the best for 2015. This year we had a bring and share party with
games and wished Emma a Happy Birthday as her birthday was on 1 January.
Raising our glasses on New Year’s Eve!
Sam rang the twelve strokes at midnight. We all then rang, sang Auld Lang
Syne and had some champagne...it was a great evening.
We are hoping to ring a quarter peal of 1260 changes on Sunday 18th January
before evensong...that is about forty minutes continuous ringing.
Thanks to all our loyal ringers who turn up regularly every week, and to Peter
for organising us.
Do come up and visit us ... you would be very welcome!

Hollesley Primary School - our puzzle day
Contributed
Have you ever had one of those really annoying puzzles that you get out of a
cracker? Well the puzzles we did on our puzzle day were like this because they
were very difficult. The first puzzle that the lady from the Happy Puzzle
company showed us
looked extremely hard
but it was actually so
easy the lady could do
it with her eyes
closed! None of us
could work out how to
do it. She had to give
us a lot of hints before
we could do it easily
so really it’s harder
than it looks. The first
session was for years
5 and 6 and it wasn’t
just our school here
but people came from
Bawdsey and Sandlings as well. There
A puzzling day!
were 10 groups and over 60 people and that’s without involving Years R,1,2,3
and 4 who had their sessions later in the day. There were probably around 180
people in the school over the course of the day.
For the second puzzle we were given an iceberg which wobbled all about and
we had to balance 24 penguins on the iceberg - trust me it’s harder than it
sounds because all of them tilt to one side. Despite sounding easy, it took ages
even to put one on it but everybody worked together and kept trying; nobody
gave up. Next was the road puzzle, it was basically a jigsaw puzzle with different types of roads but we were not allowed to have any dead ends or any gaps.
We had 6 different kinds of roads to join together. It was very tricky and took
time to complete them.
Another puzzle we had to complete was the tangram puzzle. To do this we had
to make a big square using a variety of shapes. To be honest, it would have
been easier to do by yourself because once you put something in its place
another member of your group may move it. The reason we didn’t work by ourselves was because one of the skills for us to work on was teamwork. We were
very lucky to have Bawdsey and Sandlings join us for the project which was fun
and complicated and everyone enjoyed it so much. We also did 3 more puzzles
which were very exciting. They were a marble run, a hexagon where you have
to fill in the whole of it with shapes but you were not allowed to have the same
colours next to one another and a jigsaw puzzle which was difficult. It was a
great day - we learnt a lot about thinking, working together and not giving up!

Protecting your child in the digital age
What is it about?
Although your children may have better technical skills than you, they still need
your practical advice and support to understand the risks and make sensible
and informed choices online. Whether on a computer at school, a laptop at
home, a games console or mobile phone, children and young people are
increasingly accessing the internet wherever they are. If your child understands
the risks, they can get the most from the internet and stay safe whilst doing so.
The more you know about the internet, the better you will understand how your
children use the internet and how you can help them to stay safe online.
What are the risks?
The internet opens up so many educational and social opportunities to children,
giving them access to a world of information and experiences. For most
children and young people, the internet has become an integral part of their
lives where they play video games, download music and videos and chat to
people via social networking sites such as MySpace, Bebo, Facebook or BBM
(Blackberry Messenger). Using the internet can also expose your children to
risks such as:
* Revealing personal information and/or contact details
* Receiving upsetting texts or e-mail messages
* Being ‘groomed’ by an adult with a view to meeting a child for their own
illegal purposes
* Posting on the Internet malicious details about, or inappropriate images of,
other people (cyber bullying)
* Ignoring copyright law by downloading music or video material
* Accessing adult illegal websites or those that incite hatred or violence
* Using other people’s internet identity to post malicious comments.
What can you do?
* Get to know your child’s online habits. Children are inquisitive. They will look
to explore the internet as much as they do the real world. Knowing the sites
they go to, the people they meet there and what they do, will help to keep
your child safe.
* Keep the computer in a family room where you can monitor what is going
on.
* Use a general family email address when signing up to websites, not the
child’s specific name.
* Advise them to only text, chat or webcam to people they know and to raise
concerns if they are asked to do something they are uncomfortable with.
Help your child to understand that they should never give out personal
details to online friends they do not know offline.
* Discuss how people hide their identities on-line and the importance of never
meeting new online ’friends’ for real.
* Encourage them to think carefully about what photographs or videos they
post online because they can be tampered with by others and never
completely erased.

* Discuss the fact that taking and sending inappropriate images by mobile

Mini glossary
Social networking:
Websites that allow people to keep in contact with friends and use a range of
different media and applications for example photos, videos and music.
Peer-to-peer file sharing [P2P]:
File-sharing networks over the Internet allowing people to exchange photos,
videos, music and games by directly connecting to each other’s computers.
Mobile technology:
Mobile phone internet access is filtered by the network providers for under 18s.
However, children/young people can still be the victims of cyber bullying by
text or receive inappropriate images.
Video games:
This term covers a huge range of products. It includes PCs, games consoles
and online gaming. Many games now have multi-player options that can only
be accessed on the internet.
Online grooming:
Adults who want to engage children/young people in sexual or other illegal
activity use the internet to earn their trust, for example taking advantage of a
desire to make ‘new’ friends. Boys are just as vulnerable to these tactics as
girls.

Sutton Heath roadworks
The UK power network programme of roadworks continues to cause much
disruption to our journeys. If the scheme is running to schedule, the complete
closure will conclude on 25 January.
Cheryl Gray
The second stage, from
26 January-28 February,
will involve using 2-way
traffic lights at the
construction site, so local
traffic will be able to reuse the road, but there
may be some delays,
especially at peak times.
When the contractor has
finished the roadworks at
the main entrance to the
base, Heath Road in the
Heath Road will continue to be traffic-light controlled
direction of Woodbridge
will be open from the main
entrance. At this point, Heath Road towards Hollesley will continue to be trafficlight controlled until the cable laying is complete. To stay up to date go to:

Meditation - what is it all about? What could it do for me? In our busy lifestyles,
taking some time out to simply be in the moment, to reconnect with ourselves
and our bodies can be the most beneficial thing we can do.
There are many health benefits to meditation
There are many proven scientific health benefits from meditation - lowered
blood pressure, reduction in stress levels, reducing angina, fewer accidents and
helping the body to heal. Meditation can also help clear the mind, separate the
wheat from the chaff so to speak, and make us more aware of the things that
really matter in life. Meditation goes beyond the actual practice of when you are
meditating, to permeate into all aspects of your life.
We're often told that we need to keep our bodies in good shape for better
health. What meditation does is keep the mind in great shape, culminating in a
more holistic approach to health. It helps us to become more self-aware, and
in doing so we are better able to cope with the world at large.
There are many types of meditation, from zazen (sitting or mindfulness
meditation), walking meditation, guided meditation and so on. What I would
like to do is to start up some meditation classes in the Hollesley and peninsula
area, to explore different types of meditation and to help heal mind and soul. If
you are interested in taking meditation classes, please email me at:
[email protected] or call me on 01394 411410 and I will add you to
the sign-up sheet.
If we can get enough people, we can start meditating together!
Happy meditating.

News from Mortiers’ Farm
Richard Parry
February is an interesting month. The optimism and
excitement of the arrival of spring is starting to grow but
there is the harsh reality that you are still firmly in the grip
of winter with the potential of a very cold February and
March. At the time of writing we are experiencing one of
the mildest winters for many years but I do feel that we are not going to get off
that lightly!
The spring green harvesting team
February is a pivotal month taking us from winter to spring and ensuring all our
winter work is completed prior to spring workloads. If the January weather is
cool and dry then it is a very busy month with us planting carrots and parsnips
under polythene, planting early brown onion sets and ploughing some of our
lighter lands ready for spring crops. This all has to be done in conjunction with
harvesting leeks, parsnips, turnips and spring greens.
However, if January is wet, the harvesting still has to continue as normal but in
far worse conditions. The field operations then will be caught up on during
February as soon as conditions allow prior to the big push with spring planting.
When carrying out planting of early crops such as carrots and parsnips under
polythene or early onion sets, we are trying to optimise the benefits of a
coastal environment. We are trying to establish and grow a crop which is
earlier than traditional production and therefore reduce the dependence on

having to import these products. When you carry out such an exercise it is a
high risk operation, in that there is a fine line between success and failure.
The ultimate aim is to
produce a product which
is wanted by your
customers and a
product which offers
them either a point of
difference over their
competitors or an
imported product which
is preferably cheaper.
However, if a seed is
planted early into poor
conditions, it will fail to
grow, or grow in a way
which is undesirable to
our customers. In the

the back is to cart the
harvested crop away
without damaging the

soil. The sheep to the left are eating what is not good enough for our
customers. If the crop is planted too late, the probability is it will not be
available to harvest early and will miss the desired market, due to not meeting
specification or at an unviable yield.
Whatever the weather, the days are getting considerably longer, the daffodils
are starting to awaken and when the sun shines the birds are in full voice, the
magic of spring is almost upon us.

Farewell Roy Ravenhill - our local hero
It is with deep sadness that we hear of the sudden death of Roy Ravenhill of
Parsons Hill, our local survivor of a Japanese POW camp. Roy’s WWII exploits
were movingly recorded by Laurie Forsyth in
our November 2010 edition.
Despite all the hardships he experienced, Roy
always had a ready smile and was quick to
respond to others’ needs.

wearing his gleaming medals
In July 2013, Roy was honoured to be invited
to the Royal Garden Party for Forces’
Associations and serving soldiers, sailors and
airmen. He enjoyed a wonderful day out
accompanied by Julie and Neil Jolliffe.
A wonderful day to remember
Contributed
Contributed
After capture in Java, Roy and the remains of
his Royal Artillery 35 Regiment were shipped
to Singapore and then underwent a nightmare
voyage to Ube in Japan. There they endured
three years of slave labour in an underground
coalmine 1,000 steps below ground. They not
only had to survive the cold and wet labyrinth
of tunnels but each man was also expected to
produce eight tons of coal per shift!
Let us remember Roy’s life with gladness and give thanks for the great personal
sacrifices he made in the cause of our freedom.
Farewell old soldier, we salute you.

Your letters - please send us your news and views
Dear Editor,
We are generally very quick to criticise the young for being troublesome and
doing little to contribute to their society. However I would like to thank and
praise the young people of Hollesley for giving up their own Christmas morning
to bring joy to the children in the village by arranging and helping with the
Santa cart. To do this for others is an amazingly selfless act of tradition which
really makes Christmas in this village.
I am aware that there have been a few complaints from people being woken by
the noise or the time they were visited. I would ask these people to consider
whether or not they would be prepared to put in the same amount of time and
effort. Thank you to all involved and long may the tradition continue.
Sincerely,
A. Kernohan
Dear Editor,
On New Year’s Day the Bawdsey Ferry and the hot mulled-wine stall run by Ann
and John White made £1040 for the Volunteer Coastal Patrol. Thank you to all
who supported the event. The nineteen swimmers who braved the cold waters
made around £100. Diane too was very busy at the Boathouse Cafe. An
excellent day was had by all at Bawdsey Ferry.
Liz Mark
Dear Editor,
I am writing to thank all the readers who
kindly contributed funds to help our deaf
Kenyan friend, Jacob, after he lost everything in an horrendous fire. I am very
pleased to report that £655 has been
donated, half by readers of Village
Voices and half by other friends and
family. This amount will go a long way
towards re-building Jacob's rooms to let.
He is going to be so happy and grateful
that his prayers have been answered.
Welcome Club will be leaving the Village
Hall at 10am on Tuesday 3 February to
visit Suffolk Food Hall for coffee/shopping, followed by lunch at The Belstead
Arms in Ipswich, arriving back at the hall
at 2.30pm. At the time of writing we still
have places on the coach and if you
would like to join us please ring me.

Dear Editor,
I am a mature student studying History at UCS. For my dissertation I am
researching the Colonial College at Hollesley (est. 1887), now HMP Hollesley.
I was wondering if your readers had or know of anyone with information relating to the college, the students who attended or its founder Robert Johnson? I
would particularly like to locate the Colonial Flag that was used at the college.
The Suffolk Punch Trust has in its Museum the diary of a former student and
the Prison has some photographs of the original buildings. Both of whom have
been extremely helpful and the exhibits have contributed greatly to my thesis.
However, I still require additional information and would be extremely grateful
if your readers were able to help in any way.
Thank you,

Dear Editor,
We have lived in Hollesley for almost two years and in that short space of time
my dogs and I have been attacked on four occasions by dogs that are off the
lead. Two of my dogs have developed nervous
aggression and I'm now at the point where I'm terrified
to take them out.
My friend’s dog has also been attacked while on the lead. I don't
allow my dogs to come off the lead because of this danger but I
feel it doesn't matter how much control I have over them if others
don't control their dogs. It seems that dog owners feel that if their
dog is friendly it's OK for them to be off the lead but this isn't ideal
when the dog they’re approaching isn't friendly or has nervous aggression. Some dog owners have no control - their dog ignores them when called
back.
I was wondering if there is any way you could help me raise awareness on
these issues. Please I'm at breaking point and am so terrified that I won't take
my dogs out and everyone in our house is suffering.
Selina Smith
Editor’s note
It’s against the law to allow a dog to be dangerously out of control anywhere,
eg: in a public place, in a private place (a neighbour’s house or garden) or in
the owner’s home. The law applies to all dogs. Your dog is considered
dangerously out of control if it injures someone or they worry that it might
injure them. A court could also decide your dog is dangerously out of control if
it harms someone’s animal, or if an owner thinks they could be bitten when
trying to prevent your dog from attacking theirs.

Check stored fruit and vegetables. Remove damaged or mouldy produce to
avoid spoiling the rest.
Prune Wisteria. Cut back summer side shoots to two buds.
Cut back shrubs such as Cornus and Salix down to their base. These are
grown for their colourful winter stems.
Plant bare root roses in a sunny spot.
Lift and divide snowdrops 'in the green' to create more plants
Seed potatoes are available now. Chit them (to allow shoots to form) by
placing in a light, cool, frost free place.
Force rhubarb for an early crop.
Start sowing vegetable seeds such as leeks, onions and celeriac under
cover.
Prepare vegetable beds by weeding. Cover with sheets of black plastic to
keep it drier and warmer for spring planting.
Cut autumn fruiting raspberry canes to the ground to stimulate new canes
for this autumn.
Cut tips of summer raspberry canes that have grown beyond their top
support.
Prune blackcurrants, gooseberries and redcurrants to maintain a productive
framework.

Community Garden News
A community garden in the winter months is not the
most exciting of venues! Cold, damp and dormant –
awaiting the first signs of spring. By the time this
edition of Village Voices goes to press the greenhouse should be completed. Activities for the next
working party - Saturday 21st February 1-4pm will include preparing for the forthcoming growth
season – tidying, weeding, planting etc.

Garden
During 2014 a plant sale, an afternoon tea event and the church’s Harvest
Praise and BBQ were held at the garden. Hopefully 2015 will bring a great deal
more activity and interest to the garden from individuals and organisations.
The Gardening Club has a number of ideas for future events in the pipeline –
do you have any ideas? Can you help? Thank you as always to everyone who
shows their support for this community project.

From our country kitchen - Lamb Hotpot
Contributed
I love roast lamb but I'm not too
keen on cold lamb the next day.
When I found this recipe from Nigel
Slater it solved the problem. It also
works with beef. It's difficult to give
quantities as it depends on how
much lamb you have left.
Pre-heat oven to 180 C Gas 4.
Remove the lamb from the bone, discarding the fat, and cut into slices. Arrange
in the bottom of a lidded casserole. Thinly slice a large onion and cook in olive
oil in another pan until soft. Add the remains of gravy and
cooking juices (supplement with stock if necessary) cook for a further 5 mins.
Check seasoning. Pour over the lamb ( there should be enough liquid to cover
it) and add a bay leaf and rosemary. Thinly slice a potato and arrange on top to
cover contents. Put the lid on the casserole and cook in the oven for 45 mins.
Remove the lid and cook for another 15 minutes until the potatoes have
browned, remove bay leaf when serving.
If you have any left over vegetables they can also be added to the mixture. I
usually serve with a baked potato and pickled red cabbage.

I am getting in touch in my role of Countryside Officer for the Suffolk Coast and
Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). It is hard to believe, but
the first practical work programme I organised for our AONB volunteers will
draw to a conclusion before too long - in March. Happily, we have made a great
start through this first programme. We have restored two geological sites in
the AONB and raised the profile of geology in general. The geology is the
‘canvas’ for the human, plant and animal activity that has formed our AONB, so
it is fit and proper that we work to conserve and promote it. We uncovered sea
beds of millions of years ago and saw that exactly the same processes as occur
today were happening then.
During the summer we helped Suffolk Wildlife Trust to get its Orwell Estuary
Reserves into top shape for the autumn and winter (in half the usual time) and
we were joined by locals from Levington. Ragwort pulling however will remain
low on our list of favourite jobs – Ooh mi back!
We helped Suffolk Yacht Harbour and Suffolk Wildlife Trust build Phase 1 of a
key saltmarsh protection scheme at Levington. This very exciting development
could see the renaissance of saltmarsh on this part of the Estuary. Building the
scheme was muddy, smelly work but fun. Ooh mi back 2!
Martlesham Recreation Ground got a sprucing up when we worked with friendly
local residents on a nice sunny day. Memorable cuppas were to be had at the
Bowls Club!
We nearly drowned on a very wet day at Henham Park, but we still pruned and
gave ‘tlc’ to lots of young trees. We have made links with Suffolk Coastal and
Waveney’s Footprints Volunteers and made these stronger. We all work to the
same goals, so it makes perfect sense to offer all volunteers the chance to work
for Footprints and the AONB.
I now need to organise a follow up programme (for those AONB volunteers who
have indicated they wish to be involved) from April to September inclusive.
If your organisation has a suitable project and/or site that the AONB could
potentially assist you with, please get in touch. For a task to be included on the
new programme it would need to meet the following criteria:
• Meet the AONB designation: ‘protect and enhance natural beauty whilst
recognising the needs of the local community and economy. This includes
www.villagevoices.org.uk
Page 30 February 2015
villagevoicesFeb21-40_vv24/01/201514:09Page11
the protection of flora, fauna and geological as well as landscape
features. The conservation of archaeological, architectural and vernacular
features in the landscape is also important.’
• Meet the AONB Management Plan.
• Meet the AONBs Business Plan.
• Enhance the landscape.
We cannot of course guarantee to work at all sites suggested, but we need
suggestions as a starting point. I do hope that we can work together as part of
the new programme. I will be scheduling work parties mainly for the 3rd
Thursday of the month (although there will be some flexibility).
If you need any further information do get in touch.

Greetings from the Mission at Boyton
The Holy Bible v the TV guide
They lie on the table side by side, the Holy Bible and the
TV guide,
One is well worn and cherished with pride, no not the
Bible, but the TV guide.
One is used daily to help folks decide, no not the Bible, but the
TV guide.
The pages are turned, what do they see?
What does it matter? Turn on the TV.
So they open the book in which they confide.
No, not the Bible, the TV guide.
The word-of-God is seldom read.
Maybe a verse before they fall into bed.
Exhausted and sleepy and tired as can be,
Not from reading the Bible, from watching TV.
So then back to the table side by side,
Lie the Holy Bible and the TV guide.
No time for prayer, no time for the word,
The plan for Salvation is seldom heard.
But forgiveness of sin, so full and free, is found in the bible, no not on TV!
If Jesus is on the outside of your life - there is something wrong on the inside
of your life
Our services start at 3pm and are followed by a fellowship tea and cakes.
Transport, if required can be arranged.
Every Blessing to you all.

Suffolk Family Carers
Suffolk Family Carers is a local charity providing information, support and
guidance to Family Carers around Suffolk. We have been offering our services
for over 25 years and we have learnt during that time that people caring for
another person at home, perhaps a family member or friend don’t usually see
themselves as a family carer, they just see it as part of being husband, wife,
father, mother, daughter, son, friend etc. Because of this, it is easy to forget
the importance of your own health and well-being as all your physical and
emotional effort and energy is spent on being a carer. You may feel your own
needs do not matter, but in order to provide care and support you do need to
keep your own batteries charged.
In 2015 Suffolk Family Carers will be working with our hospice colleagues to
offer an information and support programme for those people caring for someone nearing the end of their life. There will be a series of five informal sessions
that offer an opportunity to reflect and gain support from others in a similar
situation. The programme will be run around the county with the first ones
starting at the end of January. It’s aim is to improve the family carer’s own
situation and that of the person they care for. If you would like to find out
more or to book your free place please call Carly on 01473 835420 or e mail:
