From the Vicar Dear friends, I write with greetings from the Vicarage as we now languish in our Tier Two setting. Services will continue as before and according to the same COViD model - which is to say that we remain limited to those we can admit to services and we must continue to follow government guidance on mitigating the spread of the virus. I would also reiterate the need for those of you reading this (and therefore those having access to ChurchSuite) to pre-book to attend services wherever possible. We are reaching capacity in one of our churches and nearing it in the other. Rotas are now being issued for some of the lay-roles within our services and I am grateful to those who have expressed a ready willingness, in this specific season, to take on worship duties. We are delighted to see the return of our choir, readers, intercessors and sides people at our services as we continue to make sense of our current reality. Please note that if you have previously been part of a Rota but are not attending services, you have not been 'removed' from your ministry - only put on furlough! Junior Church (formerly 'Sunday Club' at SSH) is returning to parish life in both

churches from Sunday 8th November 2020 and I would like to express my gratitude to its leaders for making this important step forward happen. The second Sunday of each month will now routinely see Junior Church taking place (in tandem with the services at each respective church) and parents are encouraged to book seats at the services when they wish to bring their children to Junior Church. Pilgrim Groups now meet in three evenings a week on Zoom and I thank Peter, those who assist him and those of you who attend for making this such a successful venture. We are planning our spiritual offering for Advent, so if you are not currently part of a Pilgrim Group, please contact Peter Lee who can find ways of extending our provision to more of you. I will be absent from the parishes next week as I sit with my most beloved family and contemplate the week in Wales that we would have had in ordinary circumstances. Frs Christopher and Vernon can still be contacted if you have urgent need of a priest in my absence. I think I have some unfinished Lego somewhere, so please pray for my nearest and dearest. I close with my warmest wishes! The Revd David Cloake Vicar, Ss Philip & James Whitton with St Stephen Hounslow

SERVICE OF LIGHT – 1st NOVEMBER On Sunday 1st November 2020 we are holding our Services of Light (at 5pm at St Stephen's and at 6pm at Ss Philip & James). For those of you unfamiliar with such acts of worship, Services of Light are a point in time when we remember our own departed lost loved-ones (recent or otherwise). We may also have lost someone special to coronavirus or felt unable to say 'goodbye' in the normal way this year. This is a simple service of music and prayer but one where each individual name is read aloud as a memorial to them. This is conducted in candle-light in our churches. If you wish to reserve a space at either service, 15 will be set aside for ChurchSuite users. Beyond that, seats can be reserved through the Parish Office ([email protected]). Also, if you wish to request a name (or names) be read aloud, please also send an email with this information. The 6pm Service of Light at Ss Philip & James will be live-streamed in the usual way.

GETTING TO KNOW YOU – FR CHRISTOPHER HENLEY In the third of our series of articles about our ministry team we feature Fr Christopher Henley Q. Where was the first church where you worshipped? I was Baptised at St Matthew’s Church, Bayswater, London, W2 because this was the parish church. I went to a church school and first (consciously) worshipped at St Stephen’s, Paddington (a stone’s throw from Westbourne Park Road). Q. Do you have a favourite church / cathedral / spiritual building? And if so, what makes it special? At the beginning of my Discernment period I was encouraged to go to Lindisfarne (Holy Island) in Northumbria. I found one of my thin spaces and have returned pretty much every year since. As for favourite cathedrals that would be difficult. Architecturally they are all beautiful BUT St Paul’s because It is where l was ordained and l am a Pastoral Chaplain to the cathedral; Durham I love and it’s where l graduated; Cologne for its stained glass and Madrid because l constantly find new things. Q. What’s your favourite hymn? I the Lord of Sea and Sky because of an experience I had in church which confirmed my calling to ordained ministry. Sweet Sacrament Divine because Jesus is our life, our rest and our joy and Christ be our light because of the reminder that we are bread broken for others. Q. Favourite book (not the Bible!) and why? There are far too many to mention but David Adam’s book ‘The Road of Life’ is a great reminder of where we see Jesus in our daily lives. I love The Interior Castle by Teresa of Avila Q. What music do you play when you want to relax? I tend to tell ‘Alexa’ to play anything from the 70’’s and 80’s. I am a big fan of Lana del Ray and Lady Gaga (who l saw at the Hamburg Arena about a year ago). I enjoy Palestrina and Wagner. Q. How do you rate yourself as a cook? I am not too bad; l enjoy it when l get the chance. The problem is, I’m married to a Thai Head Chef ! Q. What’s your favourite style of food to cook? Southern Thai or a good old poached egg on toast.

Q. If you were ordering a take-away next Saturday evening, what would it be? If I am alone a Pizza but if Eiddy is at home it would be Indian. We very rarely eat takeaway. Q. Are you a cat person or dog person? Or neither? We always had both cats and dogs at the same time. I come from a family of animal lovers Q. What was your favourite subject at school and why? History. I thoroughly enjoyed looking at 19th century Britain. Q. Do you have a favourite local walk that you’d like to recommend to everyone? Not local but the coastal walk around Lindisfarne Q. Do you consider yourself a gardener? No. I spent much of my childhood either on my aunt and uncle’s farm in Bembridge, Isle of Wight or at the beach in Portsmouth. Otherwise I’ve lived in apartments. Q. Do you have a particular skill or interest that would surprise people? I am the Chaplain to a Preserved Railway Q. What one word do you think your friends would use to describe you? Trustworthy

THE BLESSED DEAD

They lie at rest, our blessed dead; The dews drop cool above their head, They knew not when fleet summer fled.

Together all, yet each alone; Each laid at rest beneath his own Smooth turf or white allotted stone.

When shall our slumber sink so deep, And eyes that wept and eyes that weep Weep not in the sufficient sleep?

God be with you, our great and small, Our loves, our best-beloved of all, Our own beyond the salt sea-wall

By Christina Rosetti (1830-94) 7

MUSINGS ON A CHOIR AT ST STEPHEN'S By Roy Mackintosh On 11th October, undeterred by Covid and potential frostbite, a combined choir from the churches of both Ss Philip & James, and St Stephen, took their places ready for something rather special -- the first hymn in months to be sung as part of a Sunday service at St Stephen's. At St Stephen's, there have been very successful Music Evenings. There have recently been Christmas Tree Festivals with carols led by Hounslow Light Opera singers. But the idea of a choir of half a dozen or more members, practising regularly and singing from the choir stalls on Sundays, seems to have become a fading memory during the last three decades. - There was a time when there were two choir practices each week, and two sung services each Sunday. - By a pillar in the nave, generations of young choristers scuffed the varnish off the pew as they stood on it to fit the numbers onto the hymn board. - There were 'Family Services' with the Rev Edgar Dowse urging us to put our thinking caps on just before he asked us a question. - There were sung responses and a psalm each Sunday evening. The choir would often sing at weddings on summer Saturdays. - On Rogation Sunday, there would be the Beating of the Bounds, with the irascible musical genius Denys Vernall leading the choir from one pub to the next. - There would be a full church on Remembrance Sunday, and at Midnight Mass (the adults surprisingly confident that there would still be time for a visit from Father Christmas). - There would be a candle-lit carol service with very poor social distancing, but with room between the nine lessons to squeeze in every carol on the carol sheet, and two or three more from 'Carols for Choirs'. This was at a church so committed to the Festive Season that it had its own colourfully lit Christmas tree growing outside. These are just memories. But thanks to Rosemary Hodi and others from Whitton Church, there is now a critical mass of singers willing to support St Stephen's each week. And a church with an active choir may find it becomes more active in other ways. I hope that a choir will continue to sing weekly at St Stephen's. And that the congregation will soon be singing again too.

NEW STEPS (OR NOTES?) FOR OUR CHOIRS By Rosemary Hodi It is a privilege to find myself directing our newly amalgamated choirs and working alongside some very talented musicians. I have been Choir Leader at St Philip and St James' since 2012 and, more recently, was appointed Director of Music. We have a lot of fun and enjoy our singing ministry. Over the years, we have sung works from Pachelbel, Bach, Telemann, Mozart, Spohr and Elgar to Britten, Chilcott and Cooman. We have Samba'd in Harvest and sung a capella African praise with percussion. We have held a 'Songs of Praise', a 'Hymnathon', attended RSCM choral events, sung with choirs across the Deanery, presented Carol Services and hosted 'Thank you for the Music', a celebration of musical performances by talented local youngsters. We have enjoyed a some lovely Choir 'socials' as well. There is such promise in the musical liaison between our parishes, much that we all can do to enhance the worship in both churches and to engage the local community. Among our plans for 2021 are an occasional inclusive choir for anyone who just wants to turn up and have a good sing. We are also hoping to develop more musical opportunities for the youngest in our parishes. If you would like to get involved, please do get in touch.

'Since singing is so good a thyng, I wish all folk would learn to sing" William Byrd

Musicians and choir singers from St Stephen's and SS Philip and James have joined together to lead the music for our two parishes. Thank you to them all! There are two sections to our choir: the splendid Junior Choir, under the direction of Ian Hunter, an expert in working with children's voices, and the fabulous Adult Choir, who make do with me. It is a great joy to work with such a happy, dedicated group and if you would be interested in joining us, please do get in touch. We have much excitement ahead! Junior Choir practice Fridays 6-7 p.m. Venues: St Philip and St James' church/ SSPJ Church Hall (alternating weeks) Adult Choir practice Fridays 7 - 8 p.m. St Stephen's church/St Philip and James' church (alternating weeks) Enquiries to [email protected] (or collar me after a service).

OUTSIDE THE BACK DOOR HOORAH FOR THE HEDGEHOG! We have hedgehogs! Not one, not two but three! I know that everyone thinks I’m a bit crazy to be going on about them like this but we haven’t seen a hedgehog in our garden for more than 15 years. Having decided to focus this year’s articles on the climate crisis and the environment, it’s rather nice to have a story to tell about one of our most endangered species. Not that many years ago, hedgehogs were abundant in the UK. Just think how many you used to see squished on the road! And that, in its own way, has been part of the problem. Man’s impact on the hedgehog has been significant. If we’ve not run over them in our cars, we’ve removed the hedges they need to nest in (the clue is in the name!) and tidied our gardens to within an inch of their lives. In the 1950s it’s thought that there were over 36 million hedgehogs in this country but now it’s estimated that the number is probably only around 1 million. As a result this year saw hedgehogs added to the red-list of endangered species in the UK alongside other well-loved creatures such as the red squirrel. We first became aware of our hedgehogs in the spring. In fact, I wouldn’t even have been on alert to look out for them had not a colleague not too many miles away remarked that she had them in her garden. Only a few days later I spotted some droppings on the lawn. With three cats, we know cat poo well so quickly ruled that out! Foxes can’t really get into our garden because of our cat fence but prior to having that fence, clearing the garden of fox poo was a regular and very unpleasant task, so we quickly ruled that out too. To the amusement of friends and colleagues I Googled “hedgehog poo” and up popped a picture that matched what was in our garden almost exactly. Then, by total chance, I spotted a hedgehog running down the garden one evening! My husband looked sceptical but the following evening he saw it too! Inspired by this, our neighbour went out and purchased hedgehog food. Each evening the food vanished but we never saw what was eating it. As the days drew longer, we became less than convinced that we were feeding hedgehogs. I considered purchasing one of those wildlife trigger cameras but, oh goodness, what a selection there is out there! I decided it was all far too complicated and resigned myself to the thought that our hedgehog had trotted off to better gardens. On the last weekend in September, I walked out into the garden and saw more hedgehog poo! That hadn’t been there the day before! Two days later we were washing up as dusk fell when I spotted a hedgehog running across the lawn! We shot outside with cameras and my husband rummaged in the shed for the remaining hedgehog food. Our little spiky friend seemed quite appreciative so the following

evening we were prepared and the tray of food went out in anticipation. As my husband took it out, he spotted movement amongst the dahlias. Suddenly I saw frantic waving - there was not one but two hedgehogs out there! One was really small, a baby we decided. At this point we began to realise that we knew very little about the lifecycle of the hedgehog - more Googling followed! Equipped with our new knowledge, we started to worry. If the little one was a recent baby, the statistics showed that its chances of putting on enough weight to survive the winter were quite slim. Our commitment to feeding them went up a notch or two at this point. We researched further food options and ordered kitten biscuit to be added to our next supermarket delivery. On one evening they had to do with a pouch of wet cat food and they were clearly unimpressed as that was the one evening we didn’t see them! The kitten food has proved popular as the kibble is small enough for a little hedgehog snout to cope with. Then, to our amazement, two became three! In fact, my husband was heading out with the food and nearly stood on one! At that point we realised that there were two more huddled together under our hawthorn tree. We are thrilled to be welcoming these increasingly rare and endangered creatures into our garden and are delighted that our efforts at gardening in an environmentally friendly way appear to be paying off. Our garden isn’t overly tidy. We have corners that frankly we cannot reach so leaves and twigs gather which are ideal for hedgehogs. We have never sprayed chemicals although I will admit to the occasional use of supposedly wildlife friendly slug pellets but these are only used when a plant is being decimated and for a limited time. However, if we can keep our hedgehogs happy, I won’t need these as they can eat the slugs for me!

We’ve been reflecting on why the appearance of the hedgehogs has been so thrilling? Is it anything to do with lockdown and needing some good news stories? Or is it that this is giving us a chance to put conservation into action in our own back yard? Either way, we hope our little spiny friends will find somewhere snug to hibernate this winter and that we can welcome them outside the back door again next year.

AN ENGLISH WOMAN, AT HOME By Genna Martinez As many of you may have gathered, if you read my recent thoughts on home working, I have spent most of lockdown at home, and had only used public transport once. So why then, you might well ask, did I make the decision to take a week's holiday, and travel to Canterbury by coach? The short answer is that I needed a break. The slightly longer answer was that I may have gone slightly insane with continuously working well in excess of my hours, too-frequent bouts of insomnia, and dieting to shed my spare tyre, boot and wheels without a complete change of scenery. There was some internal dialogue, that I will not bore you with, but once my mind was made up, it remained made up that I would brave the big bad world, and sit next to complete strangers for several hours in a small metal contraption travelling at speed down the motorway. The reason that I selected Canterbury in the end was partly down to my mother, who was supposed to accompany me (but in the end was unable to travel), and partly because it fulfilled the criteria that I had set myself - somewhere somewhat familiar, small and contained, with plenty of walks, greenery, meditatively peaceful, and also with some history. (No, I can assure you that rumours of my looking into an MA in History are simply rumours! Honestly!) So, me, being me, I packed more things to amuse and entertain myself than clothes, and my holiday began, as tradition does dictate, with the purchasing of a brand-new puzzle magazine from WH Smith. The first major difference to my jaunt was that I noticed was how quiet, orderly, and low-key Victoria Station was - no exciting buzz was felt- it felt far more that people were using the coach to take them home, or to family, rather than beginning an exciting adventure whelking in some secluded bay. The journey too was far more restrained than I have been used to - more purposeful than joyful, but this was acceptable, as it gave me peace to begin binging on a new boxset on NetFlix. Or was it Amazon? The second main difference was with Canterbury itself - this too was quieter than I remembered it being, with many closures / restricted hours / fewer people on the streets. Granted it was not peak holiday time, but even so, it felt stiller and quieter, and somehow more solemn, with odd pocket of celebratory feeling from time to time.

I was glad that I had been before, as I felt no impetus to revisit all the available tourist attractions, such as the Cathedral, or even some of the ones on the bucket list, which was remarkably short as the main purpose was to potter around, drop into cafes or restaurants when I felt hunger or thirst distracting me. I am not a fan of making detailed itineraries, in fact I prefer not to. My modus operandi is to research beforehand, make a list of places that I must see, and a list of those I would like to see, and then arrive at the destination and see how the wind takes me - and experience what I can, and feel no regrets for those I didn't manage to accommodate. Which makes the fact that everything now has to be booked / ticketed in advance rather irksome to me. The highlight of the trip (other than finding an honest-to-goodness haberdashers wherein I spent more money than I did on food for the entire trip I am sure) was my last full day, when I visited the ruins of St Augustine's Abbey. I was almost moved to tears by the respectful atmosphere, the juxtaposition of vibrant purple flowers growing on broken walls, the thought of all the history encapsulated there. Having so few visitors allowed in at any one time was actually a blessing, as I could float around following the carefully placed information boards almost by myself, and really sink into my imagination, visualising perambulations around the cloisters (oh how I love the sound of that word), with only the whisper of rough fabric to be heard. The worst part of A holiday is the returning, and though the journey was again blessedly easy, and very socially distanced, it's sad to be thrown back into any routine, and the thought that unless anything drastically changes I am now again living mostly in my bedroom / office / crafting area with only brief excursions to the bathroom and kitchen until potentially February next year when I again may brave the train or coach, and spend a few days elsewhere. Bath, I'm definitely thinking Bath...

ZOOM, ZOOM AND MORE ZOOM! The pandemic is leaving a “lasting digital legacy” and changing the UK’s internet habits and behaviour “indelibly”. So says a recent Ofcom study. Since March we have broken the four-hour barrier, which means that, on average, we spend more than a quarter of our waking hours each day online. That is up from an average of three hours and 29 minutes this time last year. Zoom has soared in popularity. Last December it reached 498,00 people in the UK; by April this had soared to 13million in the UK. In February, 35 per cent of UK adults made a video call once a week. By April that had soared to 71 per cent. The largest increase has been among the over-65s, with now 61 per cent of them making weekly video calls. How life has changed!
