Church letter
Dear Friends,
Hello, I have been asked to introduce myself as I write from my home in
Hollesley having retired from the diocese of Chelmsford in 2018. Originally from
Nottinghamshire and having worked in Kent, Nottinghamshire and North Essex,
on 1st June 2019, I became Rural Dean of Woodbridge. I am a volunteer
seeking to support the churches and ministers of the many villages of the
Deanery as well as of Woodbridge town.
In January last year we were blissfully unaware
of the challenges that would unfold over the
next 12 months changing our lives forever.
Suddenly we learned new words Coronavirus,
social-distancing, lockdown and Zoom as we
navigated through so many difficulties and
discovered together the importance of so many
little things and especially the importance of
kindness, love and care for our neighbours and
community. I had never heard of Zoom last
January and it has now become a part of life, a
computer program I use for meetings, worship
- locally and further afield - and for chatting to
family and friends. Although I haven’t dared to
try out any of the many fitness workouts yet
Cheryl Gray
preferring a long daily walk with my husband
in our beautiful Suffolk countryside instead!
Do you know that at All Saint's church, we
have a Coffee and Chat session on Zoom most
weeks to keep people in touch across the villages? Do let me know if you would
like to join - it is open to all on the peninsula.
As I write we have just heard about the COVID vaccination programme. I
thank God for the skill of the scientists and so many others who have brought
us to this new place, enabling us to look to the new year with hope that the
virus can be controlled and lives protected.
At Christmas, we celebrated the birth of Jesus the Christ child. In the bible we
read that many names were given to Jesus, Saviour, Teacher, Son of God,
Lord. For me the word to remember this January as a new year begins, is
Emmanuel which means: “God with Us”. We know from the life, death and
resurrection of Jesus that there is nothing in life that we face alone. God is with
us to strengthen and help us to grow in love and service. This year may we all
know more of the love, hope and peace God brings to us as he journeys with us
into 2021.
Wishing you a Very Happy New Year.
Annette

Hollesley School
Remembrance Rocks
This year for Remembrance Day,
Hollesley School Year 5/6’s went
to Shingle Street and collected
some excellent pebbles for the
whole school to paint lovely
poppies on.
When we came back we then
picked our rock to paint, then we
put them carefully back in the bag
for the younger children to pick
their smooth, round rock.
We sketched out our designs on a
piece of paper, then to get ready to
paint them, we grabbed some
acrylic paint and an apron.
Here are our designs.
All of the other children in
school made one as well –
here is their work.
Stones around the cross
This was such a fun
experience and we all would
love to do it again!

Happy New Year for 2021!
We were so sorry that Meet Up Mondays and
especially our Christmas Lunch had to be put on
hold due to Covid restrictions. Steve and Grant
are working so hard at the Shepherd and Dog to
look after us in spite of the difficulties. You can
still go there for a meal or ask for a takeaway.
As soon as we can rearrange a New Year meal,
we will inform everyone and look forward to
meeting up again.
Good Neighbours has received The Lord
Lieutenant of Suffolk award in Recognition of
Outstanding Service to the Community in Suffolk
during Covid- 19 Pandemic. It is displayed on the
Village Noticeboard outside the shop.
We would like to thank everyone who has been a good neighbour during this
time, whether shopping, colleting prescriptions, giving lifts or keeping in touch
with someone on their own. Many of you are unsung heroes, helping to keep
our community strong during a difficult time for us all.

Census 2021
Census 2021 will provide a snapshot of modern society. Households across the
Wilford Peninsula will soon be asked to take part in Census 2021.
The census is a once-in-a-decade survey that gives us the most accurate
estimate of all the people and households in England and Wales. It has been
carried out every decade since 1801, with the exception of 1941.
It will be the first run predominantly online, with households receiving a letter
with a unique access code, allowing them to complete the questionnaire on
their computers, phones or tablets.
“A successful census will ensure everyone from local government to charities
can put services and funding in the places where they are most needed,” Iain
Bell, deputy national statistician at the Office for National Statistics, said.
“This could mean things like doctors’ surgeries, schools and new transport
routes. That’s why it is so important everyone takes part and we have made it
easier for people to do so online on any device, with help and paper
questionnaires for those that need them.”
Census day will be on 21 March 2021, but households across the country will
receive letters with online codes allowing them to take part from early March.
The census will include questions about your sex, age, work, health, education,
household size and ethnicity. And, for the first time, there will be a question
asking people whether they have served in the armed forces, as well as
voluntary questions for those aged 16 and over on sexual orientation and
gender identity.
Results will be available within 12 months, although personal records will be
locked away for 100 years, kept safe for future generations.

From our Country Kitchen
Braised Oxtail (for 4) from Nigel Slater’s The Kitchen Diaries.
This is the perfect meal for a cold winter’s evening. It is usually made the day
before so any excess fat can be removed, but if the oxtail is lean I make it the
day I’m going to eat it. Serve with baked potatoes or mash.
Ingredients
800g - 1 kg oxtail pieces
1 tbsp plain flour
1 heaped tsp dry mustard
A thick slice of butter
Oil or dripping
2 large onions
2 large carrots
2 stalks of celery
4 garlic cloves
5 large mushrooms
2 tsp tomato purée
4 bay leaves
A few sprigs of thyme
A bottle of red wine ( or beef
stock and wine )
1 tbsp grain mustard
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
Method
Put the flour and mustard powder in a shallow bowl and roll the oxtail pieces
until they are coated. Warm the butter and oil / dripping in a heavy based,
lidded casserole. Add the oxtail pieces and let them brown on each side.
Peel the onions, trim the carrots and celery and roughly chop. When the meat
has browned, remove from the casserole and set aside. Add a little more oil ,
then the vegetables and let them colour lightly.
Set the oven at 150C / Gas 2. Slice the garlic and the mushrooms and add to
the pot along with the tomato purée. Stir and cook for 5 minutes. Return the
meat to the casserole, add the herbs. Pour in the red wine. (I usually add 500
ml beef stock and just half a bottle of wine). Bring to the boil, take off the heat,
cover with the lid and put in the oven. Allow to cook for a good 3 hours. Check
half way through and give the mixture a stir.
If you are making it the day before, allow to cool and refrigerate. Add the
mustards on reheating. Remove the thyme stems and bay leaves . Check
seasoning and serve.

Hollesley Community garden
For the last two nights, vandals have been attacking the
community garden. Three shed doors were broken, the heads of
the red hot pokers have been slashed off and the heads thrown
around all over the place. Metal chairs have had their backs
broken and the painted stone snake has been destroyed. What a mess.
I repaired one door yesterday only for it to be damaged last night even worse.
I have reported this to the police.

Hollesley Village hall
What a year it has been! We have missed
the parties, the caravan club events, the
fete, the youth club, the WI, karate, the
whist club and all the other activities. Yet we managed to run pilates, yoga, Tai
Chi, band practice, short mat bowls and the social groups (the Welcome Club
and Peninsula Social Club). The hall looks beautiful inside and all users are now
very proud of the facility. Incidentally, we have approached the Peninsula
Practice and offered the village hall as a possible venue for delivering the
COVID vaccine programme.
I would like to extend my thanks to the trustees who have been and continue
to be ambassadors for the hall. Sadly, we have had to say good-bye to several
of our trustees. Rosemary Busby has been a part of the hall for many years.
She was responsible for leading the campaign to raise the funds to provide
softer chairs and what a life saver that has been! She and Len are leaving
Hollesley to move to Essex which is closer to their children. Hollesley certainly
will miss them both. Mary Tomlinson has had to retire as well. It is not easy
giving your time to local organisations. Yet all the trustees know that their input
as representatives of their user groups is essential in working together to make
the hall a better place. Running groups or organising activities is both time-
consuming and stressful and people often taken for granted.
Special thanks must go to Meryl Montague who manages the bookings and has
provided additional cleaning, undertaken risk assessments and moved furniture
with me throughout the COVID period. Although the hall is closed at present,
bills still need to be paid, maintenance and fire checks undertaken as well as a
light cleaning programme. We give our time for free.
Time is moving on and it is likely that we will have to concentrate efforts on
completing the fund-raising for the insulation and roof replacement only since
the fabric continues to deteriorate. The photovoltaic panels will have to wait.
Just received a cheque for £451.82 from Community Café. Thanks to all those
who voted at the last café before lockdown.

Boyton Book Club
Our book selection for October and November was The Lord of the Flies by
William Golding. If you joined us in reading it, I hope that you’ve enjoyed
it! It’s certainly a gripping read.
Our book for December and January is rather different.
It is A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson
and as the title suggests, it is a tour of almost
everything that one could possibly want to know about
how the world works.
Bill Bryson writes with great ease and makes even
the driest subjects fascinating. Do give it a read!
Wishing you all a very Happy New
Year.

Hollesley WI
At last, a break from WI history - we have some lovely WI news!
WI members wanted to help people in our village facing difficulties, maybe
through job losses or furloughing and we came up with the idea of food boxes
for families in need. A list of about 28 items was determined. We had an idea
of how to find those in greatest need and this meant that we would be
surprising 30 families.
With COVID restrictions in place, our intrepid pair, Meryl and Gerry emptied out
their car boots and set off for the supermarket early one morning. The deputy
manager was really helpful and happy that they would be able to fill their
baskets without upsetting other shoppers, and even let them ignore the
restrictions on the number of any one item. A member of staff also helped.
Five trolleys later, they got out to the car park to load up. To begin with, stuff
was beautifully placed and stacked, but by trolley number four, the novelty had
begun to wear off, and after the last package went in, they were definitely in
need of a cuppa and a sit down. With both vehicles well laden, the drive back to
Hollesley was cautious. Once everything was unloaded and stored safely, three
hours, and with aching backs, they went home for a well-deserved break.
Cheryl Gray
The packaging team
Now for the fresh stuff - we wanted to go local, so bread came from the
Bakehouse in Woodbridge, eggs from our local supplier and after a deal of
investigating, James Foskett Farms in Bromeswell came up trumps and donated
two sacks of local potatoes. Thanks to Josie in their office who was a real star.
by 18th December all the deliveries were made and our mission safely
accomplished. Hope we provided a welcome bit of Christmas cheer.
The project was funded by Hollesley WI and Village Voices, so huge thanks to
them and to everyone who was involved. It was a splendid team effort and
gave everyone a really good feeling.

Where can I get help?
News of the emerging vaccines for Coronavirus are very
encouraging and we all hope that 2021 will see us move back to
some level of normality. But, in the meantime, employment is still
hard to come-by for some, savings are all used up and now the
post-Christmas bills are arriving. If this sounds familiar to you
please use one of these organisations to help you and your family:
4 ESC Coronavirus Community Fund - Managed by the East Suffolk
Communities team, the fund will provide financial support for new and existing
groups who are helping vulnerable people in their homes. Grants of between
£50 and £1,000 will be available for projects which support local residents who
are struggling due to the virus. Call; 0333 016 2000 or e-mail
communities@eastsuffolk.gov.uk
4 East Suffolk Test and Trace Payment Scheme - Test and Trace
Support Payment scheme to support people on low incomes if they can't work
during their self-isolation period. See
www.eastsuffolk.gov.uk/benefits/east-suffolk-test-and-trace-payment-scheme
(Ed: Deadline for applications - end of January)
4 The Teapot Project - We cater for everyone, giving priority to those
struggling through the impacts of Covid-19. By ordering from us, you not only
help the environment, saving that perfectly good food from going to waste,
causing unnecessary carbon emissions, you are also helping those who are
struggling to pay for food: we offer everything on a Pay As Your Feel Basis, so
those of you who can afford to pay the full price, offset those who can't.
https://www.theteapotproject.net/
4 Home, but not alone – a service launched to help connect people who
want to volunteer in their communities with neighbours who are most in need
and for those in need to seek information on support with care needs,
loneliness and to connect with community support. Telephone 0800 876 6926
4 SCC Customer First - Customer First is the first point of contact for
social services in Suffolk. They deal with enquiries and referrals about adults,
children and mental health assessments. Telephone 0345 6066167
4 NHS Volunteer Responders - NHS Volunteer Responders has been
set up to provide volunteer support to the 1.5m most at risk from coronavirus
who’re now being asked to shield themselves for 12 weeks. The volunteer
initiative is being delivered by Royal Voluntary Service and enabled by the
GoodSam Responders app. This app connects those in need of help with
members of the local community with life–saving skills who can offer help.
Telephone 0808 196 3382
If you can’t see details above of a team who may be able to help you, please

Your letters
Dear Editor,
I very much enjoyed Rambling in the Countryside by Ann Young featured in
your December Edition. This year, which has been so difficult for all of us, gave
us the welcome gift of a beautiful spring and precious time to discover the
healing power of nature and solitary walks. During my own ramblings, I found
verses forming in my head and I included one of these in my new book about
Suffolk called Spending a Penny in Southwold.
The poem on page 25, Me and the Bees and the Trees, was inspired by a lone
walk along Rectory Road and up the lane towards the Prison. It was a
beautiful hot, cloudless day in early May. All the spring flowers were out on the
banks and the only sound was the humming of bees.

Poems Dream of Christmas 2020 by Jenny

‘A Child’s Christmas’ by Cheryl Gray
I head for Tangham, come rain or storm.
You must wash your hands
I’d go to bed on Christmas Eve
and cover your face,
And wait for Santa’s silent tread.
Obey the rules, save the whole human race.
I knew he’d been when I woke up
It’s the day before Christmas, no party, no fun,
And felt the heaviness on my bed.
My friends cannot visit, not even one.
I walk through the forest and
Times were hard when I was young
gaze at the trees,
But Christmas always brought good cheer.
A book, a snow-house and one gift If only they’d talk to me- ‘Please, oh please.’
Would always be there, every year. Alone with my sadness I gaze all around.
Then suddenly- there’s company and
The book would be ‘The Famous Five’, love profound.
The snow-house full of toys and fun. The Oak commands, ‘Strength, stay firm
The gift, a treasured choice of mine and sure’
Or sometimes a surprise, ‘Ho hum!’ The wind through the yew whispers,
‘Stand and endure.’
And then the stocking (or long sock!)
The fruit of the holly is abundantly shared.
Always full of something funny,
She calls to me softly, ‘Let love not
A tangerine, some sweets and nuts,
be spared.’
Not forgetting the spending money!
The beech trees are dry but they hold on fast
When I look back on Christmas past ‘Keep going ,’ they say, ‘till troubles are past.’
And memories so full of cheer, And there in the clearing, green and tall,
I think of joy and peace and love, The grandest most beautiful tree of all;
The cherished season of the year. The mighty fir, the Christmas tree
Is singing for everyone, you and me,
For all with lost loved ones,
the weary and worn,
‘This winter will pass, the Saviour is born.’

Christmas Past (the Christmas Tree) by Julie Kitson
Sitting gazing at the tree, its lights all flashing wild,
I’m carried back to Christmas past when I was just a child.
Licking coloured paper chains that never seemed to stick,
stringing them across the room, they broke through lack of lick.
The smell of cooking, pies and puds, sausage rolls and stuffing,
Grandma, apron, sleeves rolled up, huffing and a puffing.
Then that magic time arrived, bedtime Xmas Eve, ‘
'Jamas on, stockings, hung, no time to disbelieve.
Sleep was always slow to come but eventually it did
and Christmas morning dawned again when I was just a kid.
Stockings opened, shouts of glee, then down the stairs to see the tree.
There it was, a glorious sight, with baubles, tinsel, twinkling lights.
The fairy or the angel, she was different every year,
looked down as if to say, enjoy, the future may hold things to fear
I still revere the Christmas tree. It seems to help me cope
and believe that Christmas in the future will be full of love and hope.

Firstly Happy New Year to everyone and let us hope 2021 is going to be a very
different year from last year. I’d like to thank all my volunteers for their hard
work and dedication through a difficult last one due to the pandemic. Onwards
and upwards, we are really looking forward to welcoming the public again and
having the local primary school children
back to plant vegetables.
The first snowdrops are out already,

Me and the Bees and the Trees
During my daily walks to break the monotony of lockdown fever I discovered
areas I had never visited before in my own village. No one else seemed to go
there either so I came to look on them as my personal places. It was a huge
comfort to me just to walk on my own for hours and let my mind settle.
This little poem came to me on a very warm still day when all I could hear was
the hum of the bees, it was a very special moment.
My sandals slap on dusty roads
The only sound I hear
Butterflies swoop through banks of flowers
In the greening fields there are deer
And I walk for miles to still my mind
From thoughts of feared disease
Down quiet lanes through a tunnel of green
Just me and the bees and the trees.
It’s getting hotter every day
The farmers long for rain
Tractors toil through clouds of dust
And I walk alone again.
I haven’t seen my family
Since frost was on the ground
My friends a distant memory
They mustn’t come around.
We used to sing together
Now I hear them on my phone
The songs are still the same
But we’re all singing on our own.
Cheryl Gray
So I walk to keep my sanity
Through trees and dust and heat
And mostly I feel happy to be healthy and
complete. Surrounded by the birdsong I never
heard before
I join them in my head
Til I’m not lonely anymore.

Nature note: pub games
Remember pubs? There were about 47,000 of them in the UK before Covid.
They may be becoming an endangered species now, however, so Christmas
seems a good time to be celebrating how their wonderful names connect the
human and natural worlds. You don’t have to leave Suffolk to do an eco-pub
crawl. You’d quickly build up your bird list with a nearby Cock, Swan, Duck
(sometimes with Dogs), Eagle (Spread or otherwise), Falcon and Pheasant;
there’s also a Magpie at Stowmarket, a Peacock at Chelsworth, and even a
Turnstone at Hopton-on-Sea.
Among mammals, we have
plenty of Lions, Bulls, Horses
(usually Black, but also Sorrel
at Shottisham), Harts (White),
Boars (Blue), Dogs
(sometimes with Partridges),
Foxes, Greyhounds, Hares
(with Hounds), and one or two
Beagles and Bears. Plenty of
trees too, with Oaks,
Chestnuts, Cherry Trees,
Walnuts and a Willow
(Stowmarket).
Bees feature in the Beehive at
Horringer, then there’s an
Eel’s Foot at Eastbridge, and
marine life in the Dolphin
(Thorpeness) and the Butt
and Oyster (Pin Mill). The
Contributed
only flower I can think of in
Suffolk is the Rose, but there
may well be others – I don’t
The Eels Foot, Eastbridge spend my whole time in pubs!
If you want to go twitching for bird names more widely in Britain you can find a
Bittern, Bustard, Chough, Crane, Dotterel, Flamingo, Goshawk, Nightjar, a
couple of Kittiwakes, a Quail (improbably in Wandsworth, London), and even a
Stormy Petrel pub (in Shropshire) and a Sociable Plover (a real rarity, despite
the name, in Hampshire).
Maybe pubs should be more adventurous in their choice of wildlife names to
attract new customers in these hard times. How about moths, for example,
which are fellow imbibers in the evening hours and a treasure-house of magical
monikers? I know of only one pub called after a moth, the aptly named Drinker
in Harlow, but there are so many opportunities here for the entrepreneurial
imagination.

In terms of place names, why isn’t there, in the
appropriate locations, an Essex Emerald, Jersey
Tiger, Isle of Wight Wave, Tunbridge Wells Gem,
Kentish Glory or a Rannock Sprawler? And surely
a capacious Manchester Treble Bar would pull them
in? Then there are all the local characters you see
propping up the bar, who would be only too
pleased to be memorialised this way: the Forester,
Gypsy, Traveller, Old Lady, Nonconformist, Dingy
Footman and the Flounced Rustic, not to mention

the Hebrew Character, Alchymist, Powdered

Ramblings
As we enter 2021, it gives us all a
chance to take a deep breath and
turn the corner, start a clean
page. Yet the issues for many
remain unresolved.
I have been following the Grenfell
enquiry throughout these past months.
I have been appalled by the evidence from
the manufacturers that were involved,
namely Arconic, Celotex and Kingspan who made
and sold the insulation. “We have now heard
evidence that Celotex and Kingspan “abused” the fire
safety testing regimes (Celotex secretly added another
layer). Arconic acted similarly – we have heard that one of the tests they
carried out had to be stopped because the fire was spreading so quickly; but
the certificate-issuing body said Arconic didn’t tell them about the result of that
test. These materials were combustible and toxic; they knew this and they sold
them anyway” (Karim Mussilhy is a bereaved family member from the
survivors’ group, Grenfell United). Yet why have none of these companies been
charged with corporate manslaughter? Also, should people living in flats with
this cladding be expected to pay for its replacement?
Resolutions - are you someone who annually sets goals and forgets them or
do you not bother? Well whichever category you fit into, it seems that people
have been making them for 4,000 years! 1 in 5 were making them in 2019
(Yougov) but within that statistic, it seems that 37% of people under 24 years
make a resolution compared to 15% of over 65’s. Only 25% of those making
resolutions kept to them!
Here are a few resolutions to ponder: “For last year’s words belong to last
year’s language and next year’s words await another voice.” (T.S. Eliot). “Write
it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.” (Ralph Waldo
Emerson). “Do the best you can until you know better. Then
when you know better, do better.” (Maya Angelou).
Thank you all for taking the time to read and write to
Village Voices. This is your voice and one of the
recent letters suggested having a soap box column to
air your views. The term originates from the days
when speakers would elevate themselves by standing
on a wooden crate originally used for shipment of
soap. So if you want to say something, this is your
chance - take it!

Restaurant reviews
We ordered three meals on line to
collect at the Fox and Goose in
Fressingfield. This is regarded as a
very good restaurant in Suffolk.
There were three main courses on
offer - Fish Pie, Boeuf Bourguignon
and Mushroom risotto followed by
toffee pudding, apple and quince
contributed
crumble or banana panacotta.
£15.00 per head. The fish pie was
very good but the beef lacked
flavour and wine! The desserts
were scrumptious. The risotto was just nice, served with an interesting mix of
rocket with pickled mushroom although not very creative for vegetarians. All
too often restaurant menus suffer from vegetarian-blindness. The assumption
seems to be that vegetarians are either only interested in eating pasta in a
sauce, a risotto, something with goats cheese in it or they not really hungry, so
lets not put too much on their plates and not give them too much choice.
So we decided to locate a vegetarian/vegan restaurant. We chose the Walnut
Tree, Thwaite (on the A140 ), which is the only veggie and vegan pub in Suffolk
and even though your preference might be for meat, you should think about
trying this food for a change. There were no desserts or starters but the
redi-meals are part of their established business. Meals are frozen in
microwaveable containers and the choice was extensive: Parsnip, aubergine
and squash dhansak, mushroom and
chickpea korma. I had Thai curry which
included Chinese leaves, sweet corn,
sweet potatoes, mushrooms, green
beans and capsicum. The Caribbean
casserole was wonderful - creamy, fruity
and raunchy with jackfruit, pineapple,
squash, peppers, coconut and dark rum.
The parsnip and aubergine madras was
delicious. They cook with great
enthusiasm, inventiveness and a passion
