A few more words from Barn…Just recently two friends of mine bought anotherdog. It was very young, very new to the world andvery, very small. Quite naturally everyone who mether, loved her, held her and adored her. Being sosmall, she was named “Small”. She is bigger now,bouncier now and very noisy. And also thoroughlyenjoying life.But that little dog got me thinking about “small” things.Small things are very important in our lives, althoughwe so often overlook them or take them for granted.But frequently it is the small things that hold all thingstogether. When my mind followed this track Irealised that there are more and more… here wego… the tiny screw holding the phone together, thewasher holding back the drip in the tap, the hinge onthe door, the stalk on a flower, the ring on a set ofkeys and so on… I’m thankful for all these things.But perhaps the smallest things in our lives are themore personal ones. The daily miracle of just being

able to get out of bed in the mornings, meeting thatdeadline, just having a moment to yourself,remembering to finish that cup of tea you madethree hours ago.If you are anything like me, sometimes you will findthat small things worry you. It is then that we shouldremember that it is the small things that hold us alltogether. We need to push ourselves toremember… perhaps to our family or the people thatwe meet… those small things, those daily blessings,that remind us of our dependency in and on God.Throughout our lives I’m sure that we all have many‘small blessings’ that we remember. Here is one ofmine.I was walking along with my daughter Tamsin, shewas two at the time, walking well, but sometimes abit wobbly. We agreed that holding hands would begood. But mine was too big for hers. So I held out myfingers and she chose my little finger to hold on to.And so together, reassured, we walked on.

FROM REV RICHARD WARD-SMITH

The late Reverend Peter John AbellReverend Peter and Judith, his widow, were held inhigh esteem in the village during the eleven yearsPeter served Kilkhampton as Rector andMorwenstow as Vicar, having the final freehold ofboth “Livings”.They came to us on Peter's retirement from theRAF and quickly joined in with our communityactivities. Amongst other ministerial duties Peterand Judith became very involved with theproduction, printing and collating of the ParishNews and for several years the trusty printer waslocated in the Rectory office.The sad news of Peter's untimely and suddendeath in January came as a shock in the village.Peter and Judith had settled in Beverly, Yorkshirewhere they had been for about ten years. They keptin touch and such was their association that Judithand the family decided that Peter's ashes should beinterred at St. James Church, where they hadenjoyed many happy times,A short service conducted by Reverend RichardWard-Smith was held on Wednesday 29th May.Attended by Judith and family members, togetherwith a good number of parishioners and friendsfrom both Kilkhampton and Morwenstow.Following the interment the family enjoyedfellowship with the congregation in the Church overa cup of tea, renewing former acquaintances andcatching up on the past years.

A Coach Fit for Fairy Queens and Fete Queens

The first Carnival for Kilkhampton was held in November 1950 and the Queen and her two attendants hadbeen chosen at the Grenville Room. At the same time a Fairy Queen was elected for a Saturday afternoonparade and she was to have four attendants. The first Fairy Queen then was Rachel Trewin (now Mrs.Jenkin) and her attendants were Janet Cornish, Caroline Wise, Cynthia Cloke and Margaret Wickett. Theywere all arranged on a large lorry.Miss Iris Bond’s father Jack used to work as a mason for Cann Bros. at Bude and used to cycle to work,later he went self-employed. While working at Colebrook Farm in Stratton, he became aware of a redundant4-wheeled carriage tied up to roof beams in a barn. It had finished working at milk deliveries in Stratton.Jack Bond saw a future for that carriage and offered 30 shillings for it. His son Beverley borrowed hisemployer’s lorry and it was transported to Trewin’s Garage at Kilk. Frank Trewin took on the expense ofmaterials to alter what had been a 4-seat landau.Bill Kinsman had been trained as a wheelwright and was assisted by John Sleeman; both worked for BillGreenaway the village carpenter and undertaker, and those two made the necessary alterations in theirspare time. So the sides were built up and a decorative roof provided, wheels repaired, everything paintedand gilded etc.The first chosen Fairy Queen to use the new coach was the above mentioned Janet Cornish in 1951. Therewas adequate harness for two ponies, and it is remembered that one such pony belonged to Percy Brittonof Houndapit Farm. As far as we remember girls always rode within the coach and the part of coachmanand two footmen was always taken by boys; and the same is true today for our summer Fetes.My thanks to Iris Bond for instigating this article; and to Ernestine Heard, first Carnival Queen (nee Elliott)and Rachel Jenkin (nee Trewin).

KilkhamptonCHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP

Fear is a funny thing, isn’t it. In reality, it has nosubstance in itself, but it can have really controllingability in our lives. If I’m honest, I fear beinghumiliated in public; to be made a fool of, but inreality that has rarely happened. But that fear I haveto confront everyime I preach or speak in publicbecause, if I don’t it has the power to stop me doingthose things. But facing our fears is not easy. It takescourage to do it but what I have found is that first Ihave to be really honest with myself and say whatmy fear is. So, come on, what is your fear? Say it outloud. You may not be able to deal with it all today butat least you have had the courage to identify it andif you can take a small step to confront that fear andtake some of its power away.Often the things we fear don’t make sense. Forinstance, a lot of people are afraid of flying, when thetruth is we are safer in an aeroplane than we are inour car. A lot of people fear dying when it is the onething that we cannot avoid eventually. So why nottake the power away from that fear by knowing

where you are going when you die. “How can I knowthat?” you may ask. By doing what it says in Romans10 v 10 “by confessing with your mouth that Jesus isLord” and asking Him into your lives. Then it is a win/win situation, you have Jesus in your life now andwhen you die you go and be with Him. There, that’sthe fear of dying dealt with. I love that verse inScripture in Isaiah 43 v1 where it says “fear not for Ihave redeemed you; I have called you by name, youare mine.” It helps me feel secure in God and thathelps me deal with my fears as I have got a bigHeavenly Dad!Have a great couple of months and I will be back inSeptember and if you need any help with the aboveplease do not hesitate to contact me.Every Blessing to you all,

The Cub Scouts were welcomed by Tony and giveninformation about the Church Bells, before splitting into smallgroups to see how a bell works. Then they had theopportunity to try ringing the church bells themselves, andalso using handbells. Questions and refreshments followed.Our bells: We have eight bells; the biggest is the tenor whichweighs 550 kilos. The ropes are 30 metres long and the bellsare hung right at the top of the tower. There are 96 steps toget to the top. We sometimes have open days when peoplecan view the clock, the bells and see the surrounding areafrom the very top. We have practise nights on Fridays andusually ring the bells for Sunday services.

Aunty Mary used to be a volunteer at alocal home for the elderly. Sometimes,if she was on evening duty, she used totake her daughter Norma along withher. Norma was fascinated by all theparaphernalia of old ages – the tablesover knees, footrests, urine bottles,zimmer frames and other walking aids.One night Norma noticed a pair of falseteeth in a glass jug of water. Grabbingher mother’s arm in excitement, shewhispered “the tooth fairy’s never goingto believe this!”

When Gayle went for her antenatal clinicappointments, her mother came up fromBude to look after 4 year old Paul. Oneweek she came home, flung herself onthe sofa and declared “please get me acuppa mum, I’m knackered!” Later thatweek, Paul came in from playing in thegarden, flung himself onto the sofa andsaid “I’m knackered!” Gayle smiled andsaid “you don’t know what that means.”“Yes I do” said Paul emphatically, “I’mpregnant!”

And further on, Delphiniums, with spires of vivid blue;Plus many heights of dazzling whites, add to the splendid view,But lower down the ground is crowned with glowing golds and redsCalendulas and Salvias are planted in long beds.Behind them pretty grasses sway, of silver and of green,With slender stalks and tufted heads they make a magic scene.

A water feature splashes gently in a crystal pool,The water lilies, red and white, colour the waters cool.And many goldfish, brilliant hued, glide through the lilies thereWhile dragonflies, metallic blue, dash quickly through the air.

A rose bed, centred in the lawn, provides a feature there,With favourites of many years, and other roses rare,Such glossy leaves and upright stems, it is a splendid sightEach stem bears gorgeous full-blown blooms of red or pink or white.And on the ground a carpet lies of many shades of blue,Forget-me-nots are planted there to supplement the view!

A group of trees casts dappled shade across the velvet lawn,A pair of songbirds, nesting there, have sweetly sung since dawn,A gentle breeze blows through the trees, rustling among the leaves,It brings the scent of new-mown hay from fields of fresh cuts sheaves.

A deckchair stands in shady spot, you sink in it with ease,This lovely garden that you have, is surely meant to please.A garden table stands nearby, with bottle and with glass,It’s your intent, now you’re content, for sev’ral hours to pass,The hard work that you have put in, you can enjoy your leisure,With Nature’s help and summer sun, it is a place to treasure!

What am I?A type of sporting event

My first’s in arena, where this oft takes place.The next is in trial, in test, not in race.The third is in hurdle, (which often is hit).The fourth’s found in level and hilly, not pit.The fifth is in effort, endeavour also,The sixth is in timing and fast, not in slow.The next is in high, not in low nor in flat,The eighth is in track and in chase, not in fat.My last is in speed and in skill and in strength,My whole is a sport which goes on for some length!
