The Wider Church
The football is over for awhile now along with the tennis but now we have the Olympics and that got me to thinking as to whether there was any connection between the Olympics and the Church. Yes there is as various aspect of the Bible came to mind.
The first thing that sprang to mind was the decathlon which involves 10 disciplines and this reminded me of the 10 Commandments given to Moses and can be found in the book of Exodus.
Then I called to mind all those hurdles that are placed around the track and I have seen many people stumble and not make it to the end of the race. Of course as we go through our daily lives we all come up against hurdles of one kind or another and some are harder to get over than others but we should always remember that we are never alone as God is always with us and if we ask for his guidance we will make it through.
One of my favourite events to watch is the Triathlon, three disciplines, a reminder to me of the Trinity, and The Three Wise Men.
Another event is the relay, with 4 participants and a reminder to me of the 4 gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
The Pentathlon is a discipline of 5 events which makes me think of the Feeding of the Five Thousand, with 5 loaves and 2 fishes.
I am sure that you can think of many more. We may not get a medal at the end, to wear around our neck, but we have a greater incentive, Eternal Life.
There are many more examples I’m sure but I will leave that as food for thought for you.

Charlie prepares for winter
Can you remember how surprised Charlie was when all the food in last month’s story had disappeared? Did you guess that it was the Harvest Festival and all the food collected in the Church went to the poor and those who had little to eat? Well this month’s story is also about food but not the kind the people brought.
It all began one day when Charlie was on his way to play with Robin. He was skipping down the passageway with the warm air when he came across a nut that was blocking the way. I wonder how that got there he thought to himself? He sidled by and off he went to play. On his return there were three more nuts blocking the way. That’s funny, where are they coming from? The next day even more appeared and he had a real job getting by. ‘If it goes on at this rate,’ he said to himself, ‘I shall be blocked in for the winter.’ He mentioned it to Robin, who had been collecting some fur that had been caught on the wire fencing. He muffled a response but it was hard to speak with a mouth full of fur and Charlie didn’t quite understand. ‘What are you doing with all that fur?’ he said, when Robin had carried it to his flower vase nest. ‘I’m getting ready for winter,’ said Robin.
‘It’s all right for you in that nice warm room of yours. I have to brave the cold winds out here in my winter hide away.’ ‘Well if we go on at this rate,’ Charlie said, ‘ I may have to join you. I can hardly get in these days because of all these nuts.’ ‘You’re nuts,’ said Robin. ‘How can that many nuts get into your passageway?’ ‘Well come and have a look,’ said Charlie. So off they went.
They had not got very far into the passage when another nut came toppling down. ‘Mind out,’ Robin shouted and before he could warn Charlie a second time another came rolling down and another and another. ‘Hey!’ Robin shouted, but by now Charlie was buried by an avalanche of nuts. By the time they had both recovered and peered out of the hole they saw nothing. They were just about to return to the passage and try and clear a way through when Robin saw some more grey fluff. That will do nicely for my winter nest he thought and he swooped down to collect it. Yowl!! Came the cry. ‘That’s my tail.’ And to their surprise there sat Squeaky the squirrel with a mouthful of nuts from the nearby oak tree, ready to deposit them down the hole to Charlie’s passage. It was as though they were all singing in the Church choir as they looked at each other and said ‘Getting ready for Winter !’

Up Hatherley Parish Council
Our July meeting will see a return, with some trepidation to a face- to -face Parish Council meeting. I hope we will be quorate, because some parish councillors will not be able to attend because they are shielding and the risk to their health of meeting in person (albeit masked and socially distanced) is too great. It is disappointing that we are not given a choice as to how to hold our meetings and it is tempting to rebel. We have been pleasantly surprised how good public engagement has been in the past year or so, with parishioners attending our virtual meetings, plenty of conversations with people outdoors as well as talking on the phone.
By the time you read this, our annual gardening competition will have concluded. We could not hold it last year and have trialled a virtual version this year, with residents invited to send us photos and a few words about their gardens. Our two primary schools have had competitions running since Easter to grow the tallest sunflower and the biggest mass of potatoes from a seed potato. This has been done in year groups and bubbles and without intrusion into the schools from outside. We look forward to seeing the photos and the schools plan on using the prizes (gardening vouchers and seeds from Dundry Nurseries) for future gardening projects.
We have agreed funding to support two youth work initiatives in the parish – a summer scheme run by Springbank Community project based at the Brizen project (jointly funded with LAWHPC and the Police and Crime Commissioner) and we are funding partners in the scheme to have youth work all the year round with the provider being “Inspire to Aspire”. After decades of little investment in youth work and all the mental health issues and challenges faced by young people, this feels like the direction we should be taking with our resources.
Last summer, we had a successful public engagement regarding open spaces in the parish and several plans are flowing from that. We have agreed contributions to improvements by Cheltenham Borough Council at Caernarvon Park and Cheriton Park which should be happening in the autumn. We have invested in tree planting, with more planting planned for this autumn. At our July meeting, we are formally agreeing match funding on a Community Pride application to CBC to put some additional lights at the back of Caernarvon Park. As well the need being identified during the open space consultation, this is crucial for resident safety.

Gardening News
It can’t be August already surely? There has a been mistiness to the
passing days, that has smudged the detail and had many of puz-
zling over what day of the week it is. With the gentle easing of lock-
down we will see clearer shapes and the return of punctuating routines.
Thank goodness for the garden, which has continued to grow undaunted and
there is harvest to reap. I’ve picked courgettes and beans, there are plenty of to-
matoes and a continuous supply of salad leaves. The greens have romped too,
although the need to be vigilant with netting has never been more important, the
first cabbage white butterflies are around and the pigeons cast a cursory glance
each evening to see if anything has been left unprotected. The flowers have been
good too and in particular I have to mention my foray into the new world of garden
hardy Gerbera’s, which have been fantastic. With care the summer looks prom-
ising for gardeners. Do keep on top of dead heading, feeding and watering. The
watering issue is particularly important, the ground still seems incredibly dry and
sulky plants don’t perform well. So keep a watchful eye, watering modestly on a
regular basis. If you do have spaces around, then you can be doing a bit of seed
sowing. Salad crops will all germinate quickly as will Kohl Rabi and all will harvest
in the autumn. I often talk about Kohl Rabi . It’s very easy to grow and raised pri-
marily for it’s bulbous crown, which sits above the ground . It can be steamed,
roasted or braised, included in stews and is terrific grated in Coleslaw. It’s a filler.
If you don’t want to be sowing vegetable seeds, but do have space, then Chard,
Perpetual Spinach and Spring Cabbage plants are all around now. Incredibly in
readiness for the autumn planting , we are seeing wallflowers, winter pansies and
some biennials offered. These early offerings are for over wintering really and
whilst early planting will build good roots, there is no rush. If you do want to treat
yourself to anything, bulbs are starting to land in centres and the early bird will get
the best pick.
And finally, if you find yourself in the mood for a day out, head off to the welsh bor-
der at the top end of Herefordshire. We recently visited the garden at Hergest
Croft in Kington, which spreads across 70 acres and it is truly stunning.
Happy Gardening.

Father’s Mark…
“Free at last, free at last, thank God almighty we are free at last.” is from an old negro spiritual and a notable quotation from Martin Luther King Jr., that concludes his 1963 “I have a dream” speech. I write this article on the eve of what is being called, in England, ‘Freedom Day’ – 19th July and the first weekend of the school holidays. After 480 days many indeed might see Monday 19th July as a day of freedom from the legal regulations although relaxation of these regulations is different throughout the UK. There are now no limits on how many people can meet or attend events, people are being encouraged to return to the workplace, table service is no longer necessary in pubs and restaurants and UK-wide guidance against travel to amber list countries has been removed.
With these freedoms people can go dancing in night clubs, enjoy the theatre and cinema, have all their friends and family attend baptisms, weddings and funerals and with the advent of school holidays even consider travel abroad. There are still some rules; contact tracing and self-isolation requirements remain in place, masks on some public transport and in some enclosed spaces.
Inevitably there are split opinions on the decision to grant these freedoms, between politicians, between medical practitioners and scientists, between the economy and public safety and between peoples within our communi-ties.
Freedom though must be for everyone, and we are asked to act responsibly with the freedoms now given to us. In allowing some to let off steam on the dance floor, which enables their mental health, others to re-lax on holiday providing much needed refreshment and the many to en-gage with family and friends we also have to be mindful of those for whom the relaxation of regulations will curb or inhibit their feelings of freedom.
We perhaps need to be mindful of those who are still vulnerable or in a nightclub not to party but to work. An air of curtesy in wearing a mask, for the present, around those who are cautious to reassure and enable them their freedom.
But these are not the only issues concerning freedom that have been highlighted in the media over these past months another has been that of racism.
The heart-breaking video of George Floyd pleading for his life, suffering a violation of his human dignity, outraged many people around the world. Unfortunately, some resorted to rioting and violence to protest his murder.
15
The racist online abuse received by the three England 2020 Euro penalty takers Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka once again highlighted that despite the excellent performance of the team throughout the competition and their part in it, their freedom was marred by vile abuse. However, on this occasion instead of replying to this abuse with violence the public responded with messages of sup-port and condemnation of the perpetrators.
What happened to George Floyd and the England players makes us take a hard look at the underlying cause of the anger of the protestors - that of racism, a violation of human dignity. The Oxford Dictionary defines racism “prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular ra-cial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.”
Freedom is a gift of God to His creatures. It is terribly sad that not all peoples enjoy it. Around the world there are too many examples of governments and peoples that restrict the freedom of others. Racism violates the freedom of its victims to be whom God created them to be. Racism exists and, like the COVID-19, it sickens those infected with it and its victims suffer.
As Christians we should lead not with acts of violence but with the conviction that every person is a child of God who has, as the United States Declaration of Independence states, “unalienable rights to Life, Liberty, the pursuit of Happiness.” Ours is a common humanity which God has blessed with varieties of skin colour, cultures and lan-guages.
This past 16 months, due to the pandemic, we have experienced the loss of many freedoms we may have taken for granted. Now ‘free at last’ may we not only rejoice in our regained freedom but also consid-er the freedoms still to be gained by others and look to the teachings and example of Him, who gave us the ultimate freedom of eternal life, to guide and direct us. Let us not allow our freedom to marginal-ise that of others.
Martin Luther King’s famous speech inspired countless works of art, among them the Free at Last sculpture by Chilean Sergio Castillo. From its granite base, the sculpture’s 50 doves, forged from Corten Steel, rise in unison, symbolising peace in each of the 50 US states. From afar, the flock merges to form the outline of a single dove arch-ing toward the sky. May the world too unite as one in looking toward the heavens from whence our peace and our divine given freedom comes.

Jaimie can’t breathe.
Jaimie can’t speak.
Other patients are sick.
Other patients can’t help him.
On his chest struts a raven who says 'the devil is coming’.
Doctors insist he is delusional after spending weeks in the Intensive Care Unit of his local Gloucestershire hospital, having survived Covid-19.
Next night he sees someone dressed in full PPE and beak-like mask attack a young woman called Ivona in the bed opposite…
When Detective Sergeant Alison Ellis arrives to search the wards, she finds no violent intruder. Surely Jaimie’s superstitious talk of crime and folklore is as confused as her own elderly father who lives in a care home?
Except the dying Ivona cries out ‘The Crow will kill us all.’
Can Ellis enlist a real bird to help solve the mystery of the crow-man before anybody else dies?
Can a raven ever play detective?
