This has given us time to carry out some repairs tothe building. Mainly, the Ladies and Gents toiletswhich were damaged earlier in the year. Flooringis now being put down to replace the damaged oneand then the cubicles will be re-installed. We’vemanaged to get some decorating done as well withfreshly painted outer doors and a newly paintedwall inside.

The Community Association has been hugelyhelped by grants from Babergh and Mid-Suffolk.We received £10,000 as a Business Rates Grantand another £500 for “Emerging Needs”. Baberghhave also cancelled the rates bill for this year so wethank all those who have carried on working andorganising this.

Just Be with Brenda LouwJust Be with Brenda Louw

How our lives are changing! If you’re feeling rather lost, uncertain or worried, shocked or alone, it’simportant 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, withyour feet comfortable on the floor, squeeze every part of your body for a few seconds. Let go, and thenstart to shake your knees, so soon your whole body is wiggling and shaking off all its tension. Feel likea 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 mightbe holding. You can even hum with each exhale. Then, for a few moments, notice the sounds aroundyou, 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 worryand 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 (forfree/donation) for anyone to explore. Have a look at www.longmelfordyoga.co.uk. We wish you andyour families well.

Melford in BloomMelford in Bloom

Melford in Bloom went live at the end of May with the arrival of ten hanging baskets, seventeen naturallooking barrel planters and sixteen 'barrier baskets' which will hang on the railings each side of theChad Brook bridge. The hanging baskets are running from outside the Long Melford Antique Centre asfar as the URC/Library on Little St Mary's. The team would have liked to extend the hanging baskets allthe way along Hall Street but each lamp post has to be tested by Suffolk Highways and they charge £75per 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 KierGroup 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 barrelplanters and it is hoped that residents and visitors will park carefully and avoid damage to the repairedground. There are also plans in place to keep the 'mini-greens' looking neat and tidy over the summermonths.

There is no doubting the negative impact on the village of the Coronavirus restrictions. However, it ishoped that as the nation moves towards a time when these restrictions are expected to be eased, thevillage centre and its businesses will be given a lift by becoming part of the 'In Bloom' movement. It isalso hoped that a smarter village centre will help attract visitors to Long Melford when restrictions ontourism are lifted. There are plans to extend the project to Long Melford Primary School after it returnsin due course and also to add further displays, both in the village centre and at selected entry points tothe village.

Melford in Bloom exists because of the hard work and skills of its team of volunteers and also becauseof support from the Parish Council. Since March the team has had to adapt to the virus restrictions, withcare that volunteers and contractors operate in accordance with government restrictions and with dueattention to social distancing protocols.

As well as thanks to its team of volunteers, Long MelfordParish Council and Melford in Bloom would like toacknowledge the support received from various local peopleand organisations including Halstead in Bloom, Sudbury inBloom, Long Melford's East of England Co-op Foodstore,Long Melford Fire Station, Kier Group, MGT Suffolk, ActonSand & Soil, JCS Hi-Torque, Perrywood in Sudbury and theHyde Parker family, as well as a range of local contractorsincluding Robert Clubb, Stuart Poole, Dave Carter, DavidJackson and Paul Wilson.

The organisers would also like to acknowledge a generousLocality grant arranged by Councillor Richard Kemp and tohighlight the important role played in this project by Tomand Rob Jackson of the John Smith plant nursery atConstitution Hill in Sudbury, as they have supplied many ofthe plants for Melford in Bloom whilst providing plenty ofhelp and advice to the volunteer team.

Update on the Save Our SkylarksUpdate on the Save Our SkylarksCampaignCampaignI expect most Melford residents will already beaware that the Gladman planning application for150 houses on the field off Station Road has beenapproved.

I was disappointed to receive the news from theSecretary of State for Housing on 1st April. At first, Ithought it was an April Fools but I quickly realisedthat a decision had been whilst the country had justbegun its lockdown.

Following the 5 day appeal last July, the planninginspector, Kenneth Stone, recommended the appealbe upheld, and Robert Jenrick, Ministry of Housing,Communities and Local Government ruled in favour.

In his report Mr Stone concluded: “The schemerepresents much needed sustainable developmentin a sustainable location at a sustainable settlement.The landscape and visual harm it would create islimited and acceptable. There would be no heritageharm. The development ought to be allowed toproceed in the public interest.” Governmentcompletely disregarded the fact that Babergh have a5-year land supply and Long Melford are working ona Neighbourhood Plan. The decision is an absoluteblow for Localism and allowing councils to play ameaningful part in planning decisions. Governmenthave a very clear policy of "Build, Build, Build"

I would like to thank everyone that fought with us.We can’t say we stood back and just let it happenand in another period of time we may well have wonover another Inspector and a different Secretary ofState. Sadly, the dice didn’t roll in Long Melford’sfavour.Any developer that now purchases the land willneed to submit a detailed planning applicationwithin 2 years and begin building within 1 year.With the current pandemic and potential financialrecession ahead, this may not happen within thegiven timeline so we may be able to continue toenjoy the views across this beautiful piece ofcountryside for a long time yet. Here’s hoping!

Lisa Tipper, Chairman – Save Our Skylark Fields.

Long Melford Village Memorial HallLong Melford Village Memorial HallWriting a book about the last few months wouldhave been a story stretched too far:A much-improved car park, a fully refurbishedleaky roof, hall redecorated inside, new front andrear doors and everything looking good, with a fulldiary of lettings and several new and vibrantregular activities and events.AND THEN COVID 19

Well here we are, almost two months into whatlooks set to be a very long shutdown of our villagehall, with social distancing being a clearimpossibility for hall users.

But Long Melford remains a strong communitywith wonderful care being shown towards friendsand neighbours, and eventually this challengingsituation will be gone.

Stained Glass FundraisingStained 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 ofglassmaking. The glass is unusual in that it survived the iconoclasts of both the Reformation and theCivil War. It escaped the two waves of vandalism largely because it was high up in the clerestory – theupper 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 thefriends and family of the principal funder, local wool tycoon John Clopton. Their portraits provide aunique record of the costumes, heraldry and hairstyles of the late 15th century. In addition, there are afew extremely rare religious images including those in the window above the north door. This windowhas already been restored as a trial which was paid for by the generosity of a member of the CloptonAssociation 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 bepainstakingly cleaned and restored When clean again the windows are put back in new frames with theaddition 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 threemonths to restore and reinforce it and it was put back in the church just before Christmas. The windowfeatured on our cover has the pieta as a central motif, Mary holding the crucified Jesus in her arms. Oneither side of these central figures are St Dominic and St Peter Martyr. Underneath is a tiny fragment ofmore ancient glass showing three hares (or rabbits, - the argument is hot in academic circles!). This isa very rare symbol, which, although pagan in origin, has come to be associated with the three personsof 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 theprocess of applying to the Heritage Lottery Fund for a grant (all grants currently on hold as the lotteryfund is concentrating on virus-related giving) and we are also planning a series of events which willstart 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 SallyMcDonald sally@legalside.co.uk .

“Listen!” said Mum as I wandered outside, “you can hear a pin drop”. I was puzzled about the pin butyes, it was unnaturally quiet. Although oblivious to the trials of human life, we animals are aware thatall is not well. Visitors no longer appear at the gate but can phone for help or advice regarding anyanimal in need. Some of the volunteers are missing and we dogs file out singly for walkies, which limitsthe customary chatter and banter.

Ollie (the Black) Cat misses his mid-morning snacks since our carers no longer linger over coffee andbiscuits. Our bored resident ginger puss sits on the fence in full view of a dog kennel, just to tease theoccupant. Even Beryl the hen puzzles over an empty garden and vacant armchair and the fundraisersare nowhere to be seen. Mum says they are busy at home, making beautiful things to raise money forSESAW.

The ladies work to the highest standards but there is a gap in our craft market. We need talentedpeople who can crochet animals or make small card boxes to suit our jewellery. If you are handy witha 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 eveningrounds and then it's bedtime for all the animals including me, Kenny (the Boss) Chihuahua.

Three Coronavirus Reflections …Three Coronavirus Reflections …

A number of people I have spoken to have said that they are notsleeping very deeply at the moment. It is not necessarily that theyare anxious, or because the days are getting longer, or indeedbecause the dawn chorus has been wonderful. It is because ourminds have a lot to adjust to each week as the coronavirussituation changes, and our minds are playing catch-up as we try to process all that has happened. Hereare 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. Almosteveryone has risen to the challenge of looking out for their neighbours. In addition to this our villageshave also responded in more structured ways. In Alpheton there is a WhatsApp group. In Long Melfordthere is a Facebook group and a team of volunteers available to help any in need. In Shimpling thereare regular newsletters and other on line resources. There is much more besides. Again and again Ihear people saying how fortunate they feel to live here, due to the community, and of course due thebeautiful environment we can all enjoy. If God is present when we love our neighbour, then we havearguably been closer to God in recent weeks.

I have also been reflecting that this has been a season of contrasts. Indeed, as we commemorated VEday a couple of weeks ago I found myself wondering what it must have been like for the aircrews onthe local bases. They flew out regularly exposing themselves to extreme danger; those who survivedlanded back in tranquil rural Suffolk. What extremes aircrews must have experienced within the spaceof 24 hours. Likewise, for some of us the recent weeks have been fraught with the stress of working onthe front line, or losing our jobs, or sadly having to mourn the loss of a loved one. At the same timemany of us are tending our gardens and ‘enjoying’ lockdown. These extreme contrasts are not easy toget our heads around.

Thirdly, we are all starting to wonder, and perhaps worry about, what the ‘new normal’ is going to belike. Whereas in many ways it has been terrible, in other ways I think we have rediscovered ourhumanity and what is really important. Undoubtedly there is going to be a re-calibration of all sorts ofthings.

As just one small example of what has changed, I was struck last week when I was contacted by a couplein their 80’s whom I have never actually met; they wanted re-assurance that we would continuelivestreaming our services after the lockdown was lifted. Three months ago who would have believedthat such conversations would happen?

I am sure you have had many more reflections than these, and yours are probably more profound andinsightful; I hope we can share them sometime. I certainly consider myself grateful to live in thiscommunity and can I thank you for the part you have played in bringing me closer to God. My prayeris 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 sleepwell!
