I am also marvelling at the fact that suddenly the New Year that was 2023 is entering its final weeks and we will soon herald in a new ‘New Year’ — 2024! We are just about to enter the season of Advent which I know everyone has an idea of, whether a churchgoer or not. Advent, popularly, is the season when everyone ramps up their preparations for Christmas. In the church though, whilst it is a season of preparation it is also a season of waiting. A time when once again we try to pause to think about what the real importance of the event we celebrate at Christmas — the birth of Christ really is. When Jesus was born, when God entered into his creation as a human, to walk alongside us and teach us about how to live in harmony with one another and in full reconciled relationship with the Divine, the waiting should have been over ...... ..but, to coin a phrase from scripture, we are a ‘stiff-necked’ people; stubborn, rigid, obsessed with doing things our way rather than God's way ..... ..and so still we wait for the promised peace and harmony of the world. I wonder if at the moment, when you’re watching the news or reading the paper, or scrolling through social media and seeing all that’s going on in the world and even in our own country, you have perhaps felt the absence of anything hopeful. The sense that things are going to improve and get better. I think we all as humans have that underlying need to have hope. At Christmas, in the midst of all the bustle and busy-ness as we buy presents, send cards, visit family and friends, and indulge in feasting, I hope that we will remember that all of this comes back to one thing. The extraordinary love of a Divine Creator who not content with creating us and leaving us to get on with it, cares so deeply about our thriving and flourishing and ability to live well together that he entered bodi- Iy into our human experience, to share with us all that the freedom we have allows and to guide us in how we use that freedom in order to thrive and flourish together. At a time when perhaps the world feels or looks a bit hopeless, this is the source of our hope and whilst we might feel as though we are waiting for God to act in some way — perhaps its just the other way around. Perhaps God is waiting for us. In the popular carol ‘In the bleak midwinter' we sing the words What can I give him? Poor as I am If I were a shepherd I would give a lamb If I were a wise man I would do my part But what I can I give him, give Him my heart (from ‘In the bleak midwinter’ by Christi- na Rossetti) My prayer for us all as one year draws to an end and a new one begins, is that we may soften our ‘stiff necks’, and genuinely open our hearts, to truly see the other, and act to restore hope and harmony in our world.

Zech- ariah, an elderly priest sang after being visited by an angel. The angels sang a song to the shepherds (we know part of their song: “And on earth peace and goodwill toward men"). Mary sang a song to God after she had time to get over the shocking news that she was going to be the mother of the Savior. Simeon also had a song. Join us for some time to study and pray together in the busy weeks in the run up to Christmas, taking some time to deepen our faith as we prepare for the celebration of Christmas. The Sessions run on Friday mornings throughout December at St Peter’s Church in Bridge and each one stands alone so you don't have to come to all of them if you aren’t able to.

Beavers have been learning about fossils and Harvest traditions and have been undertaking some very cool science experiments, including dissecting owl pellets (with thorough handwashing, of course!). Cubs have turned each other into mummies (using toilet roll and imagination!), made spooky pine cone spiders and role-played bats looking for moths, after learning about echolocation. Scouts have been working on their skills challenge badge and their navigation skills, as well as getting ready for a ‘round the world’ Christmas party to explore different cultures and traditions. They also honed their sewing skills, making poppies for our Remembrance wreaths. Explorers have made willow wreaths, played lots of games, worked on their survival skills and helped to plan their own sessions for this term, including an exciting new outdoor meeting locaflon. Recent events include the Explorers’ first camp — this was an expedition camp in Es- sex, where Explorers had a great time chopping wood, building fires, cooking their dinner and night hiking, despite the weather not being as kind as it could be! On Hal- loween, Explorers went door to door in Barham, collecting donations for the food bank. And on Remembrance Sunday, young people from all sections took part in a short parade through Bridge, before joining in the Remembrance service. As we move towards Christmas, all sections will be taking part in plenty of fun Christ- massy activities, including our annual whole-group Christmas service at Bridge Church. We will also be delivering Scout Post in Bridge on 17 December — look out for our post box in Bridge Stores! As always, we welcome new people to our groups and we are always looking for vol- unteers, both behind the scenes and helping in sessions. Please contact us for more details. Nailbourne Scout Group welcomes both boys AND girls and meets during term time as follows: (Beavers (6-8 years) — Wednesdays, 5.30—6.30pm, Barham Village Hall) Cubs (8-10 years) - Wednesdays, 6.45-8.00pm, Barham Village Hall Scouts (10-14 years) — Fridays, 6.30—8.00pm, Denton Village Hall Explorers (14-18 years) — Wednesdays, 7.30—9.00pm, Bridge Village Hall Please note that the venue is subject to frequent change, particularly in the summer, when wemeet outside as often as possible! For more information on joining Beavers, Cubs or Scouts or volunteering, please email NickGore at skipnailbourne@gmail.com or visit our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/Nailbourne-Scout-Group-public-108853207216429). For infor- mation on Explorers, please contact Phil Last at explorersnailbourne@gmail.com 17 Nailbourne Horticultural Society We warmly invite members and non-members to our Christmas Social meeting on Tuesday 5th December at the usual time of 7.30 pm at Bridge Village Hall. There will be a presentation entitled, ‘Kent under Attack from Asian Hornets!’ by Lisa Jenkins, Seasonal Bee Inspector, on a subject that has been causing serious concern and one which has been covered by the media recently. It should be of interest and im- portance and something we all need to be made aware of. On a lighter note though, not forgetting it is our Christmas Social, we will be serving glass of festive drink and nibbles included in the entry fee of £5, plus a ticket to the Christmas raffle. In addition there will be jars of honey for sale from a local beekeeper. We hope you will come and support this last event of the year as well as help celebrate a very successful one for our Society. Nailbourne Horticultural Society - Annual General Meeting & Talk on Suc- cessional Planting We start year 2024 with our AGM in Bridge Village Hall on Tuesday 23 January at 7.30 pm. Subscriptions for the year are due then, at £8 for single and £15 forjointl family membership.

New and old members as well as those who wish to join ourfriendly committee will be warmly welcomed. So, please encourage your friends to come along and help the oldest Society in the Village to continue to thrive! Following the brief AGM we will welcome our guest speaker, Kevin Tooher, aka Sir Plantalot, who will give a talk ‘Successional Planting’. Kevin has been a lec- turer in horticulture at Hadlow College and at Brogdale. He currently runs his own horticultural courses. We very much look fonrvard to seeing you. Refreshments will be available. it ' 7m;;¢agsz%us=uer¢e . I 18 .4‘ .7»: . . 59 . . In your garden with Marie Gold In the Bleak Midwinter Christina Rossetti Christina Georgina Rossetti was an English writer of romantic, devotional and chil- dren's poems. She was the youngest child in an extraordinarily gifted family with 3 siblings, including Dante Gabriel Rossetti, as he was generally known, one of the founders of the Pre—Raphae|ite Brotherhood. The text of this Christmas poem, first published in 1872, has been set to music many times. Made famous by both Gustav Holst and Harold Darke in the early 20th cen- tury. In the poems, her vision of an earth which stands ‘ashamed and dumb’ because it is ‘exposed and valued at man's worth’ seems to predict human destruction of the natural world that followed in the wake of the industrial development. Little could she realise how this destruction was going to continue and escalate in our own times. What does midwinter conjure up for a gardener? For my part it is mainly centred indoors with seasonal plants: cyclamen, poinsettia, and early, forced, paperwhite narcissus bulbs. The green leafy plants that have had a good summer need special care in a cold porch or conservatory. Succulents can take the cold and seem to sur- vive in both the house and under protection in the greenhouse. The outdoor plants must now look after themselves, as all precautions have been taken, apart from un- expected winds, snow and heavy rain which may cause problems. Bird feeders and the bird bath will need to be regularly topped up — but the hedgehog house is still awaiting an occupant as I write this... Bee identification has suddenly become very easy as there should only be 2 bee spe- cies flying at this time of year: buff—tai|ed bumblebees and the very occasional hon- eybee — find a log or two and place them out of the way so there is a small habitat available. And the finale of my year of the bee, a book: ‘What a Bee Knows’ by En- tomologist, Stephen Buchmann. Happy Christmas everyone. December and January bees, not hibernating, will appreciate: Mahonia and Ivy flowers, Helleborus Foetidus, Winter heathers, aconites, and snow- drops 19 Bridqe with Patrixbou rne Womens Institute The changed time for our meetings to afternoons has proved popular, as members prefer daylight to dark evenings. In October we had a most interesting meeting, when ‘Adventures in Stained Glass and Decorative Art’ was the subject of a talk giv- en by Julia Till. This was followed by a talk in November on ‘Christmas Cards’ and was a popular subject at this time of year. Our usual Christmas Party is on Friday, 15th December at 2pm, in the Village Hall, when it is hoped that many members will be able to come and enjoy a social time, with in—house entertainment some seasonal food and drink. In January our speaker, Joyce Coomber-Sewell will be talking on ‘This is Me’ — so it will be interesting to hear what she has to say! WI welcomes anyone interested in becoming a member, or coming along firstly as a guest for a ‘taster’. For more de- tails, please contact the Secretary on 01227-830606.
