I was talking to a young woman about what she was planning to do on Christmas day. She mentioned that she did not have any relatives to go to so she would be spending it quietly. She told me she loved Christmas day and was looking forward to spending time with her little boy. She described how she would spend the day by having a nice meal together and then they would play lots of board games. This young woman was positively beaming as she was telling me and then she told me how much she and her son loved doing really simple things together. That really got me thinking, do we, at Christmas, really focus on what Christmas is truly about or do we get carried away in a busy buying frenzy with the rest of society and forget where the real focus should be ? People often say to me that Christmas is all about the children. Obviously it is lovely to see children caught up in the wonder of Christmas but let us remember of course it all started with one particular child. It should be a time of real celebration, to rejoice in the birth of Jesus and the good news that his birth brings to the earth. The young woman I spoke to was solely focused on her son and her relationship with him. In the same way, if we get our priorities right then we will focus on God’s Son and our relationship with him. We should focus on the simple things and enjoy a special time with friends and family and take time out to appreciate their company, to enjoy the simple things that are on offer. Some of us might know of someone who will be on their own this Christmas, perhaps we could invite them to join us to share our celebrations with us. May we all be blessed this Christmas with a time full of laughter, good food and good company and most important of all God’s love. God loves each one of us, so much that he sent his Son to earth, what an amazing event to celebrate! May the New Year present new and exciting opportunities for us as we continue along our journey of faith together. Christmas Blessings Teresa

A Letter from the Bishop of Grimsby

Dear Friends,

It was a bit of a reminder of where our world is with regard to Christmas, to find

myself at the beginning of November, with other colleagues, before Remembrance

Sunday, at a hotel already decked out with ‘Christmas decorations’ obviously ready

for a full long season.

It is easy to be slightly sniffy about such things (it was the same week that there

was all of the media hype about what has become the annual and much-anticipated

reveal of the John Lewis ‘Christmas Advert’) to write and complain about the

commercialisation of Christmas. And yet at the heart of the ‘Christmas Season’

still, the heart without which everything else becomes incredibly empty, devoid of

any meaning, is the celebration of the birth of a baby, announced by the angels to

ordinary people. A baby who, it is said, will be the means of ‘peace on earth’.

It can seem for many, as they look around our world at this point in time, a

somewhat hollow promise.

‘Heaven on earth, we need it now’ sings Bono, the lead singer of U2 in their song

‘Peace on Earth’. ‘I’m sick of all of this hanging around. Sick of sorrow, sick of

pain, sick of hearing again and again, that there’s gonna be, Peace on earth’.

And for me that’s part of the challenge of Christmas. ‘And man will live for

evermore, because of Christmas Day’ say the words of another Christmas song, and

I believe that to be true – but I’m also challenged by the slogan of Christian Aid:

‘We believe in life before death’.

Christmas can be a season of wonderful human hospitality and generosity, a time to

eat, drink and generally be merry; but if that is all it is, then the promise of the

angels, as Bono despairs, begins to feel more than a little thin.

But an event that we both celebrate, and allow to shape who we are, and all that we

do, as we stop and look at what that baby then did and taught in the rest of his life,

that has power to change the world, to bring about the promise of the angels – and

that is the gift I pray for our world this Christmas time.

+ David Grimsby – December 2016

The residents of Tetford & Salmonby have a good reputation for working together

and the Parish Council is putting together a Community Emergency Volunteer Plan

in order to pull everything together into one document - all the useful items located

within the villages that residents would be willing to use to assist the plan, e.g. 4 x 4

vehicles for assisting people in an emergency in bad weather, tractors for perhaps

moving fallen trees to clear roads and volunteers with a skill or profession that

could help, i.e. Nursing, organisational etc. The document would be governed by

Data Protection & any names included within it would be seen only by the

Managing Team & Lincolnshire County Council’s Emergency Plan Team & not be

public knowledge.

It may be that during spells of exceptionally bad weather, elderly or vulnerable

residents may require assistance of some kind – the plan would cover this, or if

flooding occurred or if for any reason there was an emergency that affected the

area.

If you would be willing to put forward an item – i.e. vehicle, tractor, generator etc.

or be a willing volunteer please either talk to one of the Councillors or contact the

Parish Clerk for further details or to be entered into the plan.

Clothing/Blankets etc for the Homeless.

Richard Walter is unable to collect clothing, blankets etc. as he is recovering

from a stay in hospital. He will be having further treatment in the New Year

but hopes to continue collecting for the homeless at a later date.

Tetford St Mary’s Jumble Sale 22nd

October

Thank you so much everyone for all your contributions to our Jumble Sale – we

were overwhelmed! There must be an awful lot of empty spaces in wardrobes,

attics and lumber rooms now! On the day , the total taken was £307.05. Since

jumble day, we (my trusty friend Marge and myself) have sold clothing, handbags

and shoes to a second hand outlet and raised a further £45.50 and with a donation of

£5, the final sum was £357.55 – amazing!!

Thank you to the helpers on the day Shirley, Sue O, Sue P, Lesley, Julia, Val and

Carole. A brilliant effort, everyone thank you. Last but not least thank you Paul for

all the heavy work.

Also a big thank you to all of you, who came and supported us.

Art and Craft Weekend 29/30th

October

Beautiful and varied paintings, fascinating handicrafts and gifts, and delicious cakes

for a teatime treat.

Many thanks to the stall holders, who despite the lack of customers (especially on

Sunday), still remained cheerful and sanguine. It was a lovely atmosphere.

Thanks also to Paul who helped to transport the boards and manhandle them in and

out of the church. He is such an asset to the Group – and we really do appreciate his

help and support.

The weekend effort raised £232.90 for the Roof Fund – so not a complete disaster.

TETFORD OUTREACH POST OFFICE – HAMILTON HALL –

WEDNESDAY’S 1PM -3PM

The outreach Post Office at Hamilton Hall has been quiet lately, hopefully it’s not

because of my typing error in the last edition which might have sent you all to

Thetford – so sorry! Hands up all who noticed the error? Hands up all who went to

Thetford – Ha ha!

Avoid the queues - buy your stamps, post parcels, purchase gift vouchers, pay bills

and withdraw cash locally at Hamilton Hall without the problems of parking.

The ladies will be back the last Wednesday in January 2017.

Russ from the outreach Post Office, Chris, with her range of Phoenix Card products

and Barbara with her range of affordable jewellery would like to say thank you all

for your continued support and wish you all a Very Happy Christmas and a

Prosperous and Peaceful New Year!

Shopping Evening 10th

November The Edward Richardson PSFA would like to extend a massive 'Thank You' to

everyone who supported the recent shopping event at Hamilton Hall. From stall

holders, customers and helpers the night was a huge success with £570 raised for an

exciting new project for the pupils. Thank you all.

Wednesday Club Quiz Thank you to all who supported the quiz on the 2

nd November also to the

Wednesday ladies for the refreshments. Thank you for all the raffle prizes donated

and to Bob Sessions who conducted the raffle.

Including later donations, a total of £240 was raised for the Lincs. Macmillan

nurses.

Many Thanks Andy Robinson

Congratulations June and Jack Wilkinson celebrated

their 60th

Wedding Anniversary on the

3rd

of November.

They received a congratulations

telegram from the Queen

They were married in St Leonard’s Church, South Ormsby

in 1956.

TETFORD VOLUNTEER

GROUP The Tetford Volunteer Group

has been busy lately.

One group cut back the

vegetation from the verge

making the pavement on East

Road a little wider.

Unfortunately the autumn leaves

fell down & swiftly covered up

all the hard work done! It now

looks a lot better, thanks to all

involved, see you all again this

time next year!

Another group took part in a litter pick ranging from the Cross Keys out to the A158 at

High Toynton. Nine people took part, including a junior member of the community with

his Dad – well done Edward! Incredibly, over 20 bags of rubbish were collected in the

short distance of just over 4 miles. Sadly it shows what a “throwaway” society the world

has become. During the pick, various drivers stopped to say “thank you” which was nice

and one gentleman asked how to join the Volunteer Group, which was great! Tetford

itself wasn’t covered during this outing as most litter seems to be picked up by caring

residents/the litter fairies as they find it thank goodness. Again, many thanks to all those

who took part.

If you are new to the village and would like to join the Tetford Volunteer Group please

contact me, Barbara Harden. My e-mail is 2012harden@gmail.com or my mobile is

07910 711177.

How the group works is as follows: someone will suggest a job to be done in the village,

cutting back a hedge, a litter pick, cutting back vegetation from pavements etc. I’ll send

out an email asking for volunteers and when they’d be available and then coordinate a

date & time and volunteers turn up. If you can’t make it that’s not a problem, there’s no

pressure. The group is backed by Tetford & Salmonby Parish Council so up to 10

volunteers are covered under Public Liability Insurance at any one time. They also

supply the Hi-Viz Vests. Normally people bring their own tools for the jobs. We do have

age restraints – so sorry, but over 80’s are excluded – was that a huge sigh of relief I

heard? Our logo is the men at work sign with a subtle difference!

We are truly fortunate to live in a beautiful part of the country and the Tetford Volunteer

Group, which now numbers over 20 members, likes to do its bit to help keep it that way.

There are other unsung heroes within the community who do their own thing, cutting

grass at the St Mary’s Church and Hamilton Hall - again, A Big Thank You to You All!

I’ll be arranging a “WABURS” event soon – that’s a “wash and brush up road signs” so

will be requesting volunteers then.

Lastly, I’d like to wish you all A Happy Christmas and a Prosperous & Peaceful New

Year! Thanks, Barbara

A Prayer for Christmas

Give us, O God, the vision which can see Your love in the world in spite of human

failure.

Give us the faith to trust Your goodness in spite of our ignorance and weakness.

Give us the knowledge that we may continue to pray with understanding hearts.

And show us what each one of us can do to set forward the coming of the day of

universal peace.

Tetford and District Parish Council

Councillor Louis presented the wreath on behalf of the Parish Council at the War

Memorial on Remembrance Sunday.

The Budget for 2017-2018 was again considered & adjustments made, the Council will

be making its final decision in December but is considering raising the Precept in order

to cover the cost of grass cutting for the villages as Lincolnshire County Council has

withdrawn its grant & the Parish Council will have to cover the whole cost, a sum in the

region of £1,700 per annum, the grant this year was £923.10 – the Council is very aware

residents are keen to see the villages looking tidy; it also has to save for future election

costs, previously paid by East Lindsey District Council who has now withdrawn funding,

and places £500 into fixed reserves annually for this & the costs incurred by

administration also have to be covered. The Council would not take this step lightly; it

has reduced budgets wherever possible but the removal of services by County & District

Councils inevitably places the burden to maintain them on Parish Councils. The Council

has reduced its level of reserves inherited and will continue to do so.

Planning Appeal – Brian Todd Homes – Land South of Upper Garth, Salmonby Road,

Tetford – Appeal Reference APP/D2510/W/16/3160438 – following refusal by ELDC of

outline erection of up to 7 dwellings (S/177/010467/16) appeal under Town & Country

Planning Act 1990 Section 78. The Council makes no further comment. Planning

Application – S/177/02135/16 – Ms L Westmoreland – Outline erection of 1 house &

garage – land adjoining Woodland View, Mill lane, Tetford – the Council supported the

application.

Definitive Map Modification Order Proposal Tetford – Addition of Missing Link

between Public Footpath 33 & North Road – there is as yet no resolution & residents are

asked to submit forms supporting the link to Lincolnshire County Council Countryside

Service if they support it.

The Medals for Tetford & Salmonby Children to commemorate HM Queen Elizabeth II

90th Birthday are to be distributed at an event generously supported by the Events

Committee, on Saturday 17th December, 2-4pm in Hamilton Hall – there will be

entertainment - puppets/magic show & tea for the children – Parents are welcome to stay

& enjoy a cup of tea or coffee.

East Lindsey District Council is consulting, as it is required to do, on consideration by

BT to remove of phone boxes in the area, including the one on South Road. The Council

is objecting to its removal.

The Volunteer Group cleared the verge on East Road & also carried out a litter pick from

Tetford to High Toynton junction – filling 24 bags of rubbish on the latter!

At the Council’s request Highways has agreed to place caution signs for horses on the

Edward Richardson Primary School Update: December 2016

The Autumn Terms have been a very successful time at the Edward Richardson

Primary School. Work has continued apace and we have been able to involve our

wider community in a variety of activities. Our annual ‘Help Your Child with

Numeracy’ and ‘Help Your Child with Literacy’ evenings have been held (with the

mathematics session exploring the implications of ‘mastery’ in the curriculum).

The Parents Staff and Friends Association have held a ‘Harvest Auction and Quiz

Night’ (auctioning produce from our Harvest Festival celebration for charity) and a

Christmas Shopping event which was a great success (raising over £500 for PSFA

funds).

Key Stage 2 Children who are enrolled in the after school ‘Christmas Drama Club’

have been working hard since September on their major production of ‘What a

Knight’. We are all looking forward to putting on this presentation for our

community at the end of term. Key Stage 1 children will be presenting their own

nativity play.

The application process has now opened for Reception 2017 entrants. The online

form can be completed up to 15th

January. Any child born between 1st September

2012 and 31st August 2013 will be due to start school in September 2017 and their

parents or carers should complete the process before the closing date.

Louth Community Larder It is very sad that in an area like this there are people who are unable to feed

themselves and their families. Frequently they are in work but earning very

low wages. There is a box in Tetford Church for your donations which I

will take once a month to the Community Larder at Holy Trinity Church in

Louth.

More Newhome thoughts on Computers.

OK, well straight into this months subject, encrypted files. So what is one of those?

Well simple really, it is an ordinary file that has a password to open it. Stop! Before

you think not more passwords, not interested, this is actually a big help. You will

have seen and some of you may have paid for password keepers, well here is how

to create your own for free, and learn another useful trick at the same time.

If you have a spreadsheet programme then you can use this to create a list of

websites with their addresses and passwords, much like most of you hide them in

your little book of secrets. The problem is that the spreadsheet is not very secret.

This is where your encryption programme comes in. A very good and simple to use

programme can be downloaded for free from,

http://www.axantum.com/AxCrypt/Downloads.html It is called AxCrypt. If you

type the link above into your web browser address bar and press enter it will take

you to the download page. Assuming you are running Windows then you need this

file.

32- or

64-bit

AxCrypt-1.7.3180.0-

Setup.exe

AxCrypt

1.x

Old Full

Setup

Yes I know what it says on the site but this is easy and that is what we all want.

So download and install this file. Once it is installed you can now save your

spreadsheet twice with two names so you have two files (just in case you get it

wrong on the first practice). Now using 'Windows File Explorer' go to where you

saved the file (probably in 'Documents'), and 'right click' on it. You will get a menu

come up (remember 'left click' is 'do it' – 'right click' is 'menus'). From the menu

choose 'AxCrypt – Encrypt'. You will now be asked for a password twice. Once

this is done and you press OK the original file will disappear and reappear with the

same name but a shield as the picture icon. To access the file, double click on it as

normal and you will be asked for the password, put that in and 'Hey Presto' there is

your file. You can edit and change the contents of the file, press save, close the file

and it will remain encrypted, so it can only be opened if you have the password. So

what is the point of all that? Well now you only need to remember one password,

the one to the encrypted file with the whole list of passwords for everything else.

We do suggest that you practice encrypting and opening encrypted files until you

are familiar with it. Also remember to delete any unencrypted versions of the file,

including from the bin. Keep copies of the encrypted file on a USB flash drive, both

at home as well as a trusted friends (fire is your worst enemy).

Remember to send any general questions to mark.newhome@gmail.com for us to

answer in next months edition. Otherwise I will try and cover how to create strong

passwords you can remember without telling the bad guys how you did it.

Leek and Bacon Gratin

Ingredients:

8 large leeks, washed and sliced into 2 inch lengths

1 large carrot, peeled and sliced into 2 inch lengths

12 rashers of streaky bacon

For the sauce:

1 oz butter

1 oz flour

½ pint of milk (full fat)

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 oz Cheddar cheese, grated

To finish:

2 oz Cheddar cheese, grated

2 oz fresh white breadcrumbs

Method:

Cook the sliced leeks and carrots in boiling, slightly salted water to cover for 10 to

15 minutes or until tender. Drain, reserving the liquid and turn into a buttered

flameproof casserole. Meanwhile prepare the sauce. Melt the butter in a pan, stir in

the flour and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove the pan from the

heat and gradually add the milk and 150 ml or ¼ pint of the liquid from the

vegetables, stirring constantly. Return the pan to the heat. Bring slowly to the boil

stirring all the time. Lower the heat, add the seasoning to taste and simmer gently

until the sauce thickens. Remove from the heat and stir in the 2 oz cheese.

Grill the bacon rashers, arrange on top of the leeks and carrots and cover with the

sauce. Sprinkle thickly with the mixed cheese and breadcrumbs. Pour over the

drippings from the grilled bacon and place the dish under a hot grill until the

surface is golden-brown and crisp. Serve immediately.

Brinkhill Christmas Bazaar

I would like to thank everyone involved in making the Brinkhill Christmas Bazaar

such a success. The Craft Group worked together and I am sure everyone will agree

that the effort was worth it.

The raffle raised £80 and the Christmas Hamper was won by Shirley Hewitt.

The stall fees brought in £50 and this means that the Ark Animal Rescue Centre

will be receiving a cheque for £130.00, however I have also been promised a small

donation for the Centre so I will wait until I receive that and then send the cheque. I

will make sure everyone sees the receipt once it arrives.

I would like to give a special thanks to Pearl for her beautiful floral displays and the

lovely wreath that adorns the church door and the display in the porch. It was

wonderful to watch her put them together.

Thanks also to Pam for her Mulled Wine - I cannot tell you how welcome that was.

Each and everyone of you from Brinkhill, Tetford and all around, that helped -

organising the advertising, or serving teas, or having a stall or just coming to

support us from has helped raise money for rescued animals, so well done

everyone. Chris Scully
