of their award as they had to workharder than in any other year! Ex-pupilscame back to help as there was so muchto do. Their job was crucial to theperformance, moving scenery to helptell the story, and they did as much inrehearsals and on the day as theperformers. The Rock Challengeproduction team, who ran the event atStevenage, recognised their fabulouscontribution and posted a great messageabout them on Instagram after the show,“Some people spend their whole time onstage trying not to be seen. Eightminutes hiding behind a flat. Behindevery breath-taking performance is anextremely hardworking stage crew andit’s always so inspiring to see JRockteams trusting their students to handlethe scenery!” Mrs Smith, Year 6 teacher and RockChallenge leader, said, “I was veryproud of the whole team who put on atremendous show. As always, ourpupils represented our school with

respect, enthusiasm and determination.” For us pupils in Year 6, this will be oneof our most precious memories from ourtime at St Paul’s. Rock Challenge is themost wonderful opportunity that we arevery lucky to get, and we wish we coulddo it all again! Reported by Emily, Molly and Billy,Year 6, St Paul’s C of E PrimarySchool, ChipperfieldNewsflash: Headteacher, CarolineMoore, emailed to say, “Just found outwe have made it to the Southern Finalin Portsmouth on 26 April”.

ST PAUL’S AND HOLY CROSSIf you make a visit to St Paul’s Church and venture beyond the choir stalls to stand inthe sanctuary facing the altar, to your left you will see a stained glass window depictingSt George. He stands triumphant over a dragon, his feet treading on its hind and forequarters. The dragon is defeated and looks up in submission at the haloed face of thesaint. Very little is known about George’s early life but a number of stories haveemerged. In one of the most familiar versions of the legend, George follows in hisfather’s footsteps and takes up a career as a soldier in the Roman army. A couple ofmonths before his death, the emperor had ordered the arrest of Christian soldiers andfor other soldiers to offer sacrifices to Roman gods. George showed great courage andstrength of conviction by approaching the Emperor and objecting to the edict - an actionnot dissimilar to the three friends who were thrown into the fiery furnace byNebuchadnezzar. Diocletian used all his worldly wiles to try to convert George,including the offer of great wealth – land, money and slaves but George was resoluteand would not renounce his Christian faith. He came to his untimely death, a Christianmartyr, on 23 April AD303 under the orders of Emperor Diocletian. Stories of hisstrength and courage soon spread throughout Europe. In the 12th century a legend ofhis fight with a dragon is credited to him. We need to remember that in the middle ages,the dragon was commonly used to represent the devil. The legends about Saint Georgetell of great courage, Christian faithfulness and the triumph of good over evil. It is notsurprising, therefore, that it was 12th century Crusaders who first used his name as anaid in battle, and that Edward III made him the Patron Saint of England. I wonder who,for this generation, would bear the name Diocletian and what demons Saint Georgewould be fighting and trampling underfoot? I wonder what cause might he bedefending? The source of St George’s courage and strength of character was rooted inhis faith in Jesus Christ, stories of whom are certainly not mere legends, and whosetriumph over evil is depicted in the most prominent and largest window in St Paul’s. Itis the first window to be illuminated by the light of each new day, a reminder that Jesusis the light of the world who comes to dispel all darkness, and who has triumphed evenover the darkness of death. On Easter morning, we remember that love really doesconquer all and we give thanks to God for the unbounded love He has for us. Christiansthroughout the world will be celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ. I pray for allof us this Easter, that we will live courageous and hopeful lives, confident in theknowledge that love shields, protects and casts out all fear. May our lives together befull of loveliness. Michele, Rector, Benefice of Sarratt and Chipperfield

OUR LADY MOTHER OF THE SAVIOUR RC CHURCHThe later date upon which Easter falls this year, means that you are probably readingthis on or around the fourth Sunday of Lent, a day which has attached to it several veryold traditions. The rigorous observance of Lenten fasting has long disappeared but thismiddle Sunday of that penitential season was a sort of rest day from adherence to thefasting regime. Even the scripture readings had, and still have, a lighter tone to themon this day, such that the day became known as ‘Laetare Sunday’, as the first words ofthe Mass introduction were ‘Laetare, Jerusalem’ or ‘Rejoice, Jerusalem’ in thesevernacular days.It may be by coincidence that it was also the day when a tradition of visiting one’s‘mother church’ was fulfilled. Those who were no longer living at home, andparticularly those thousands that were working in domestic service or as apprentices,would make a special effort to join their families in the main church or cathedral of thearea. Inevitably this created great opportunities for family reunions, and eventually asecondary tradition of domestic staff being given the day off developed. All this led tothe concept of Mothering Sunday, very much a religion based tradition, practised for

centuries before the modern, morecommercial, ‘Mother’s Day’ wasspawned. Notably, one of the day’sscripture readings includes this line fromSaint Paul to the Galatians 4:26, “But theJerusalem which is above is free, whichis the mother of us all.” Paul is trying topoint out that while the contemporaryJewish Law is regarded as beingrestricted and earthly, the Gospel shouldbe interpreted as spiritual and liberating.This may read somewhat uncomfortablyin modern times but at that time Paulwanted to encourage the Galatians toconsider themselves as children of theGospel.On this special Sunday we may nolonger bake and eat Simnel Cake,another very old custom of this day, butMothering Sunday, both in its traditionalreligious and its Mother’s Day forms, isa most important feast to be celebratedboth in our churches and in our families.We then look forward, once we haveobserved how one man’s obedience inHis passion and death brought reparationfor mankind’s fall from grace, to the joysof the Easter season.Happy Mothering Sunday!

CHIPPERFIELD HORTICULTURAL SOCIETYMatthew Biggs - the People's Gardener

is coming to Chipperfield on 25 Aprilin St Paul’s Parish Room at 7.30pm

In gardening circles, the name Matthew Biggs is well known. He makes regular radioand television appearances on programmes such as 'Gardeners’ Question Time', writesfor the gardening magazines, and has a stack of book titles to his name. He frequentlygives talks. His early days were with Leicester City Parks Department wheresweeping, tidying and cleaning the toilets were essential parts of his responsibilities.Little did he realise when he took the job that he was stepping on a ladder that wouldlead him to where he is today. After training at Pershore College of Horticulture, hebecame Head Gardener at a Leicestershire house. The diploma course at the RoyalBotanic Gardens in Kew seemed a good idea and, although unsuccessful at first, hepersevered and was later chosen as one of the sixteen lucky students who were to studythere each year. After qualifying, he worked there as a Guide Lecturer and StaffTraining Officer. His next big step was something of a gamble; he became a freelancehorticulturist running a landscaping and maintenance company, lecturing to gardeningsocieties and teaching in adult education.Tickets available from Committee Members and Garden SceneMembers: £8, Non members £10.

VILLAGE BUS UPDATEAmid the welter of cuts to local services,it is pleasing to be able to report anincrease with regard to local buses onthe 319 route to North WatfordSuperstores via Kings Langley which isnow running daily rather than theprevious three days a week. Aspokesperson for Red Eagle said theywere “happy to be able to provide a fiveday a week service to Chipperfield withthe support of Hertfordshire CountyCouncil.” The 352 to Watford andHemel and the 51 to Hemel via Flaundenremain unchanged. Those of us ‘of a certain age’ with freebus passes will need to renew them inMay and we should be receiving thenecessary reminder in the post any timenow. If you think you qualify for aconcessionary bus pass – basically thisapplies to anyone of a pensionable age,plus those with certain disabilities – goto www.hertfordshire.gov.uk/buspass orpick up an application form at locallibraries.

NEW BEGINNING FOR MY OLD FIELDWe are about to start planting a new woodland on my very wet field on the way toKings Langley. Spoil from the A41 cutting was put into the dip in this field but thedrainage was not done properly and over the years the field has got wetter and wetterto the point of being unworkable. The trees will eventually drink the water and preventflooding, but at the moment there are large patches of standing water all over it. Withover five thousand trees going in I need help, and the contract has gone to aprofessional forestry firm. The field must be fenced against the roe deer and rabbits so,all in all, it is quite a task.Walking the field with the contractor on a lovely spring day, we were delighted to seehow many birds were enjoying it. I had not seen so many yellowhammers in a flock foryears, and further into the field a flock of red wings took to the air. As we reached thebiggest area of standing water, yet more birds took flight which I did not recogniseimmediately but my companion said, “Wow, snipe, it must be wet”! As theyzigzagged away from us, I could see their long straight bills. These bills have a flexibletip which the birds use to find worms in soft marshy ground. They have wonderfullycamouflaged plumage of light and dark brown stripes, just the same shades as theground they were feeding on, and pale under parts that are hard to see from below whenthey take to the sky. If they had not flown up just in front of us, we would never havenoticed them.We are planting fifteen different species of trees and shrubs, including willows andpoplars, and have been careful to choose ones that do not mind having their feet inwater. They will only be small so that they adapt to the conditions; it will be a fewyears before it looks like a wood. I wonder what new birds we will see in the years tocome? After seeing the snipe, nothing will surprise me! Wendy Bathurst

At the beginning of February, membersof the Extend Exercise Class in theVillage Hall celebrated the 90th birthdayof local resident, Doris Yates, with a lotof fun and a piece of cake.

JOHN ‘Jack’ LOWE 1942-2017

It is with great sadness that I reportthe passing of John Lowe, a residentof Croft Lane for over 50 years. Johnwas a true countryman and a greatobserver of the natural world. Heworked all his life in forestry, firstlywith the Forestry Commission andthen in the family firm where his threesons, John, Paul, and Allan joinedhim. He was a keen sportsman,playing football into his mid-forties,along with golf and darts. First andforemost he was a family man, aloving husband to Anita, (they hadrecently celebrated their GoldenWedding), a great dad and a verypatient grandad. He loved their bit ofScatterdells Wood where he took thegrandchildren for camp fire cook upsand built them a tree house. He couldimpart his knowledge of the naturalworld in the most unassuming way.Children loved him and I am surelearned a lot from him. We wouldusually see him at the gate intoScatterdells and chat about what birdswe had seen or, in the case of thecuckoo, not seen, the ups and downsof Watford FC, woodturning (Johnwas a fine craftsman), and squirrelsand the damage they do. His Serviceat Garston Crematorium was packed;a tribute to a quiet gentleman ofwhom a great many were pleased tocall a friend. Wendy Bathurst

APRIL IN YOUR GARDENAfter the gloomy winter months, we are now well into the busy garden season withdays lighter and longer and a lot to do.Vegetables and fruit. Well prepare the seed beds and add Vitax Q4 fertilizer orGrowmore and then sow broad beans, cabbage, beet, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts,peas, leeks, turnips and swede in the garden, and tender vegetables in the greenhouse.Rootcrops, such as carrots and parsnips, must not be planted on manured soil as thiswould make them ‘fork’. Carry on planting potatoes and earth up the rows as theygrow. Get the herb garden established and make successional sowings of salads, suchas radish and lettuce. Plants raised in the greenhouse, such as broad beans andbrassicas, can be planted out now. Put in onion sets and shallots and plant asparaguscrowns, strawberries and soft fruit. It is now far too late to plant bare root raspberrycanes. Plant fruit trees, such as apples and plums, and protect the flowers on soft fruitbushes should we get late frosts. Carry on hoeing and keep weeds down.Flowers and shrubs. Tender bedding plants will soon be in the garden centre andhanging baskets and containers can be planted as long as they are protected from frost.Avoid planting out bedding plants until well into May but hardy plants, such asantirrhinums, pansies, bellis and violas are fine to plant outside now. Plant newperennials and lift and divide old plants and provide supports for the taller growingplants. Prune the roses and spray with something like Roseclear to keep blackspot, rustand mildew away. Feed the roses and shrubs with Toprose fertiliser and use anericaceous feed on azaleas, camellias and rhododendrons. Early flowering shrubs, suchas forsythia, should be pruned immediately after they have flowered. Once daffodilshave flowered they should be deadheaded and fed but the leaves must be left until theydie down. Plant out dahlia tubers, summer flowering lilies, nerines and gladioluscorms.The greenhouse. Tomatoes, marrows, courgettes, peppers and runner beans should besown without delay so that they will be ready for planting outside towards the end ofMay. Tomatoes and cucumbers that are to be grown in the greenhouse should beplanted now. Carry on potting up plug plants and sowing bedding plants. Visit thegarden centre to find an amazing selection of plants that can be used in hanging basketsand containers and plant up your baskets in the greenhouse so that they can get wellestalished before putting outside. Use Swell-gel in the compost to help retain moisture.Lawn and garden. Mow the lawn regularly but never cut too short, particularly in dryweather. Apply a good fertilizer, plus weedkiller and mosskiller. Now is a good timeto turf new grass areas or to sow grass seed. Use a lawn sprinkler on new grass areasand then put it away. Once established, lawns do not need to be watered so that thegrass is encouraged to send its roots well down into the soil. Carry on tidying up thegarden. Put all old plant material on to the compost heap adding Garotta to help therotting process but destroy roots of ground elder and bindweed. Put down mulchesaround larger shrubs and perennials to help conserve moisture. Talks. Maria Coote: in the Small Hall on 3 April; Matthew Biggs in the Parish roomon 25 April. Val Bourne: in the Baptist Hall at Bovingdon on 5 April.
