A number of people have commented on the increase in traffic through
the village and a zebra crossing from the Institute to the car park has
been raised perhaps this could be discussed in the Parish Council.

Post Covid some regeneration monies may be available to help com-
munities improve facilities to help recovery. By adding all the car park
ideas together, we may be able to submit a plan for the future of the
car park that will benefit the village as well as the Institute.

Were you a planner or fundraiser in a previous life and able to share
your expertise with the HVT committee to put together a viable plan?
If so, please let us know.

                      TALES FROM A PARISHIONER
                              No Choice!
     It was a choice that wasn’t really a choice. Did I want to watch Antiques
     Roadshow or a chemistry program! They knew I liked neither but with a
     biscuit and a cuppa I left them to it. How often in life do we face the same
     dilemma? Do we speed to get home or obey the speed limit and be late?
     Do we do the housework or do something fun? When I was young it was
     no contest – reading! In bed with the curtain hooked around the bedhead
     on a moon-lit night. When sent out to play, a book hidden up my jumper
     then on the swings, reading, until time to go home with the book again
     hidden. Even in school – a book on my knee and when the teacher ap-
     proached crossed legs raised and hid the book. And yes, I failed maths. I
     couldn’t even behave in church. During the sermon I read the prayers for
     the dead – interesting bits to be found at the back of a URC hymnal in
     Scotland!

     I always loved reading. It started when I was about 5 years old, I was giv-
     en all the Famous Five and Secret Seven books. I put them in order,
     started at number one and just kept on reading until I’d finished them all.
     Reading while walking home I walked straight past our house – lucky we
     were the third from the end of the pavement – but Mum did laugh. Ex-
     cused art as I was a rubbish painter and allowed to read. Every day I
     went to the library to change a book but weekends were a worry, what if I
     ran out of books? I was the heroine who saved the family; the fearless
     explorer who discovered new creatures; a brave and totally unselfish per-
     son. In reality a shy child whose friends lived in books. But what a great
     world I lived in!

     We have an eclectic collection of books from poetry to HG Wells – though
     I must admit the HG Ws are not mine! I just dust then return them to the
     shelf. Mine range from Henri Nouwen to Maeve Binchy to Stephen King
     and beyond. Many years ago, I sold my hard backs, all novels, to buy
     doll’s house furniture. At the last minute after carrying around 200 books
     in to the shop I rescued one of them – The Day of the Triffids Omnibus by
     John Wyndham!!! And have read it several times since. The Roadmend-
     er by Michael Fairless is another hidden gem. Written in 1902 the text
     shines from the pages, one can feel the dust as the farm vehicle trundles
     along the track. And today – I have a Kindle. I can carry 30+ books in my
     handbag; to read while at the dentist; while my other half is taking photo-
     graphs; while waiting for a tardy child; and as for in bed – weren’t Kindles
     developed for dark nights when sleep escapes me?

                    Technology to keep in touch,
       Hopeful soon we will be able to give our family a hug,
              Amazing rainbows throughout the street,
