August is the most popular month

for holidays, schools have closed and

families have an opportunity to go

away together. Childhood

recollections of holidays often include

sunshine, sand, rock pools and melting

ice cream - memories of something

entirely different from the rest of the

year.

Most of us need time to stop

whatever we do each day and do

something different. If we are at work

then a break from our daily routine is

important and it is nice to get up later

in the morning. If we are retired then

a change of scenery and routine is still

important and will refresh us.

The need to have holidays, or

breaks in the normal routine, is an old

one. In the book of Genesis (Genesis

1 and 2) we hear the creation story,

on the seventh day God stopped

creating and had a day of rest and for

that reason the people of God always

stopped work for the Sabbath From

that tradition the Christian Church

takes Sunday, the day of resurrection,

as the day of rest. The Israelites

enjoyed the religious celebrations of

the year and we hear about Jesus and

his disciples preparing for a

celebration meal at Passover time.

Jesus sent his disciples to meet a man

carrying a jar of water who would

lend them his guest room so that

Jesus and the

disciples could enjoy

their Passover meal

together (Luke 22:7

f).

Time for a holiday, or even a day

off, is time to play, to do something

entirely different. As we spend our

recreation time on different things our

brains and bodies relax and we feel

refreshed. Even when we have been

physically busy on our day off we can

still feel ready to return to our normal

activities.

We need time to refresh and

renew our selves spiritually as well.

Perhaps that can happen when visiting

a cathedral or abbey, or a holy place,

somewhere that we can be quiet and

pray. It might be in a beautiful

landscape where we can see the glory

of God’s creation before us. Even if

we are at home we can take time out

to light a candle, read a few verses

from the bible and pray.

I hope that this summer whether

you are at work, or away on holiday,

you will find the time to be refreshed

and renewed spiritually and physically.

Yours in the love of Christ

Carol

CHURCH NEWS

Looking Back:

We had a wonderful Confirmation service at St Botolph’s Church Chevening on

the 6th July when four of our young people were confirmed by Bishop Michael

Nazir-Ali. They were joined by three adults and a young person from St Law-

rence’s and eighteen adults and young people from Chevening - the church was

full and we had a wonderful time after the service enjoying drinks and snacks in

the sunshine outside.

We enjoyed celebrating our Patronal Festival on the 20th July, we were joined

by congregation members from St Lawrence’s Church. Our celebrations contin-

ued after the service as we enjoyed refreshments together.

Looking Forward:

3rd August 11.15 am: a Service to Mark the Start of World War 1, followed by

refreshments. Please come and take part in a service to remember a war that

changed the lives of many.

4th August 10.45 pm: 15 minute time of prayers and readings, as we remember

the ‘lights going out’ and war starting 100 years ago.

Prayers:

For families going away on holiday this summer, for safe travel, fun and re-

freshment

For good summer weather and a good harvest to follow

For people struggling to make ends meet, who are not able to enjoy a holi-

day and worrying about meeting essential expenses

For our food bank in Sevenoaks - Loaves and Fishes

We celebrated Saint Margaret’s

Patronal Service at 11.15 on 20th July.

This year is the 147th anniversary of

our church’s foundation. As the

patronal is a combined service with

our friends at Saint Laurence, Seal

Chart, we decided that it would also

be an appropriate occasion to

celebrate 20 years of women in the

priesthood of the Church of England.

Carol Kitchener, our Vicar, was one of

the very first to be ordained and so,

entirely unknown to her, we made it a

party to celebrate her

personal ministry and the many

blessings we have experienced from

having her as our priest.

There were lots of special things. An

augmented choir sang the anthem

Cantate Domino. The church was filled

with flowers arranged in a delightful,

simple country style which we know

Carol prefers. There was a bouquet of

yellow roses and a large card filled with

signatures from both parishes. The

design of the card was based on a

Sunday Times photograph of Carol and

other women priests with the Arch-

bishop of Canterbury at the national

thanksgiving. There were other cards

from those who could not be present,

and a delightful card from Saint

Lawrence’s School with a drawing of a

woman bishop! Both our parishes had

contributed to a lavish buffet in the

churchyard, and the weather (after an

unsettled period earlier in the week-

end) was kind.

The highlight was a marvellous cake,

with icing based on Carol’s ordination

stole.

Lots of people helped to make this a

very, very

happy day but

special thanks

must go to Jill

Scott who

did so much

behind the

scenes and in

particular

arranged for

the cake.

Carol sent me the following message

for all of us.

“I would like to say a big thank you for

yesterday morning. It came as a total

surprise and I was overwhelmed by the

things that you said – I really thought

that I must have been retired and was

about to leave.”

Commemoration of the start of World War I

On Sunday 3 August the 11.15 service at St. Margaret’s will commemorate the

start of WW1. All who contributed so generously to the refurbishment of the

lych gate war memorial to mark the 100 years’ commemoration are warmly

invited to the service and to refreshments afterwards in the Village Hall.

Andrea Pierce

Underriver WWI Memorial—Lych Gate

Although the work on the gate is now completed we are still waiting for the

faculty to do the path under the gate.

It has been decided that this should be tarmac with a split pebble finish to

replicate what we have now. It will be necessary to sort out the levels and to

try to make the path so that the ramp up to the road level is more disabled

friendly.

It has also transpired that the vase brackets on the gate need to be replaced.

They were beyond restoration. It appears that the newly refurbished vases

have gone missing and will also need replacing. The quote for this has not yet

arrived.

The response to the appeal was amazingly generous and the total including gift

aid tax recoverable is £2,987.50.

The cost of the restoration of the gate itself was £1,300 somewhat more than

the estimate because additional work was necessary.

It is probable that there will be a small surplus for Help for Heroes as planned.

While doing the work Jon Woodrow noticed that the verge along the road is

in a bad state and in wet weather there is significant puddling as a result. Every

time a car goes by in wet weather the fence and the gate get soaked. It is

proposed to write to Highways to see whether they would be willing to reme-

dy this.

Thank you all for your generosity

The outbreak of the Great War took the

European nations by surprise. By early

1914 the nations of western and central

Europe had been at peace

for more than forty years, a longer period

free from conflict than ever before in their

histories. Yet people had been lulled into a

false sense of security. Below the surface

the seeds of conflict had been germinating

for some time.

Statesmen and generals had been on their

guard for several years. Colonial campaigns

had involved every European Great Power,

except Germany and Austria-Hungary, in

fighting since the turn of the century. The

Agadir crisis of 1911 showed how poten-

tially dangerous were such conflicts. Per-

haps more threatening was the arms race;

naval and military expenditure by the

Great Powers doubled in the last twenty

years of the nineteenth century. In the first

decade of the twentieth it doubled again.

The prime example of this was the race to

build the Dreadnoughts, spearheaded by

Britain and Germany.

By 1900 Europe was riven by a plethora of

rival alliances, some dating back years. On

the one side stood the Triple Alliance _

Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy_ and

on the other the Dual Alliance of France

and Russia ( later the Triple Entente with

Britain). So long as potential opponents

seemed to maintain equilibrium of power,

so these alliances made for a continuance

of the peace. By 1905 however Russia had

been weakened by her defeat in the Far

East by Japan, and by the threat of revolu-

tion, and there was no genuine balance of

strength between the Great Powers. Too

many diplomatic questions dangled in the

courts of Europe; the British (Liberal) gov-

ernment gave diplomatic support to its

Entente partners, France and Russia, but

evaded formal military obligations. The

British only counted its 1839 treaty with

Belgium to uphold its neutrality as morally

and legally unavoidable. Italy's rivalry with

Austria over territorial interests in the

Adriatic made it an uncomfortable member

of the Triple Alliance.

To the French the loss of Alsace-Lorraine

was still a festering sore. The British were

increasingly suspicious of Germany's naval

shipbuilding programme. Austria-Hungary

feared Russian Pan-Slavism. Germany re-

sented the British Empire, and the ring of

encirclement it believed was being tight-

ened around it. Small wonder then that

the cauldron of fears, resentments and

suspicions was ready to boil over. Peace

was fragile; one nudge would topple the

dominoes. On the 28th of June 1914 a con-

sumptive Bosnian-Serb student assassinat-

ed Arch-Duke Franz-Ferdinand of Austria

and his consort Sophie in Sarajevo. The

two shots he fired ignited the touch-

paper ; by mid-August five Great Powers

and two bit-players were locked in battle

from the Flanders Plain to the eastern

foothills of the Carpathians.

THE ORIGINS OF THE GREAT

WAR

MEMORIES OF THE GREAT WAR

Hazel Fasey writes :

During the Great War my father, William

Colin Davies, volunteered at the age of

sixteen, and was drafted into the London

Rifle Brigade, and then later into the King's

Royal Rifle Corps. He fought at Ypres and

the Somme.

One of his duties was to go up in the bas-

ket of an Observation Balloon, watching

enemy lines. One Christmas he met up

with some Canadians, who gave him some

flour and dried fruit, so with water from a

puddle he made a Christmas pudding and

boiled it in his sock!

When I was young he showed me a piece

of shrapnel, which he had just taken from

his neck; he was also wounded by a bullet

passing through his helmet and out the

other side. When out with his friend Pat

McGary they asked a farmer for a drink.

The farmer refused so they went back at

night and let out the pigs. When they were

both out on patrol in No-Mans-Land they

ended up in a shell-hole; having failed to

return they were posted as having been

killed. In fact they were so tired that they

had dropped off to sleep.

On another occasion he jumped into a

shell-hole and felt something wet on his

hand; when he looked down his hand was

in the smashed skull of a German soldier.

A little later on, having been slightly

wounded, he was being repatriated to Eng-

land; at the port he stopped in a bar, was

given some absinthe, and woke up on

board ship, with no idea how he had got

there.

He was billeted in Gwent in a monastery

and during the second world war my

brother in the Highland Light Infantry sent

a card home showing where he was; it was

the very same room where my father had

been.

My father's brother fared less well; he was

in a dugout when a German soldier hit him

over the head with a pick-axe. It went

within a inch of his brain; he was taken to

the nearest seaport, and during an air-raid

he was dropped off his stretcher. He was

supposed to wear a metal plate to cover

the wound, but never did. After the war he

emigrated to New Zealand to get some

peace and quiet.

If you have any memories of relatives or locals relating to WWI that you can

share please contact Tim Tawney (832331)

UNDERRIVER BOOK CLUB

The Underriver Book Club held its

annual lunch at St. Julian’s in early July.

As always, we were blessed with

lovely weather and enjoyed sitting out

in the garden to discuss “The Light

between Oceans” by ML Stedman

This is the first book by an Australian

author, now living in London and it

provoked some lively discussion on

the rights and wrongs of the decisions

made by the two main characters.

Tom Sherbourne a returning veteran

from the First World War takes a job

as a lighthouse keeper on Janus Rock,

some distance from mainland

Australia. He takes with him his wife,

Isabel and they live an idyllic, if a very

solitary lifestyle, on the island. A

small boat is washed up on the beach

with a baby inside. Isabel persuades

Tom, normally a meticulous record

keeper, to allow her to keep the baby

as their own. This decision has

disastrous consequences for all

concerned as

eventually their

deception and

lies tragically

unfold.

The book is

immensely readable and we all

enjoyed it, although it took a few

members outside their comfort zones.

We all agreed that there was no right

answer to the inevitable consequences

of Tom and Isobel’s decision, but that

all the characters in the book, in their

own individual way suffered the

anguish and heartbreak that were the

inevitable result.

After all this heartbreak and anguish,

we enjoyed a delicious lunch, more

light hearted conversation with plenty

of speculation on the possible

outcome of the Men’s semi finals at

Wimbledon later in the day.

COUNTRY NOTES

In last month`s Country Notes I

committed to finding some interest-

ing facts about slugs. I was about to

give up when I came across the fol-lowing on a website called The Rain-

bow Garden Products. I have cop-

ied it verbatim so I hope this passes

both the advertising and the plagia-rism test for the village mag:

Slugs are hermaphrodites: they have male and female reproductive sys-

tems. Each slug lays approximately 500 eggs a year. Eggs are laid in clusters of two dozen eggs each. They can remain in the

soil for years and then hatch when the conditions are right. There are 30 species of slug in the UK. The average UK garden is home to over 20,000 slugs. It’s estimated that an acre of farmland may support over 250,000 slugs. Only 5% of the slug population is above ground at any one time. The oth-

er 95% is underground digesting your seedling, laying eggs, and feeding on

roots and other seeds. A slug has approximately 27,000 teeth. When slugs’ teeth wear out new

rows move forward and replace them, conveyor-belt style. Slugs can stretch to 20 times their normal length enabling them to

squeeze through openings to get at food. The Grey Field Slug is the most common and damaging slug in the UK.

Up to 1.5 inches in length, this slug is typically found in lettuces, cabbages,

carrots, beans, celery and tomatoes – in fact almost every type of garden crop. It is active in temperatures as low as freezing.

The Garden Slug is usually black with a pale side strip, it feeds above and

below the ground and is a particular pest of potatoes. The Black Slug is the monster of all slugs, growing up to eight inches long.

It mainly causes damage to seedlings in the Spring.

Bookends are two British

musicians whose perfor-

mance pays tribute to the

music of Simon & Garfunkel.

Their talented renditions of

timeless classics are inter-

spersed with clips and sto-

ries about Simon & Gar-

funkel. Even though it is

almost 50 years since Simon & Garfunkel’s

first record was released, songs like

‘Sounds of Silence’, ‘Homeward Bound’,

‘Mrs Robinson’ and ‘The Boxer’ are still

considered classics by many people.

Bookends (a neat title reflecting one of

S&G’s famous songs) are Dan Haynes and

Pete Richards. In addition to touring thea-

tres and, this year, the Edinburgh Fringe

they also undertake what they call Rural

Touring – visiting village halls and other

community venues. Their 2014 tour now

includes a night in our village hall on Satur-

day 22nd November.

The show is being held as a fundraiser with

all proceeds being split between two recip-

ients. The first is to raise funds to help

with the upkeep of the Village Hall that is

used all year round by the local communi-

ty.

The second beneficiary is the National

Youth Ballet Outreach Programme (who

are based in Edenbridge). The programme

educates children about the importance of

fitness and gives children, who might oth-

erwise not have the opportunity, a chance

to experience dance and

performance. Outreach also

works with children who

have special needs, such as

the deaf, the blind, the physi-

cally and mentally disabled.

NYB dance workshops have

touched the lives of many

children in deprived inner

city areas and introduced them to fitness

and fun as a healthy way of living. For

more information go to http://

nationalyouthballet.org/information/what-

we-do/

Tickets are priced at £30 each and there

are only 80 tickets available. Drinks (wine,

beer and soft drinks) are included in your

ticket price. There will be no raffles or any

request for further donations so once you

have bought your ticket, you can leave

your money at home!

Tables of eight will be set up on the night

so please feel free to get a group of friends

together (any tickets sold in less than

groups of eight will be sat together). Tick-

ets are now available from Mike Clyne on

01732 832113 or [email protected]

You can read more about the Bookends

show on their website at

www.thebookendsshow.co.uk and also see

some of their performances on their

YouTube channel www.youtube.com/user/

Exhibition: ‘Discovering Palmer’s Kent’

at Mascalls Gallery, Paddock Wood

14th June-24th August

In 1924 a Goldsmith’s art student, William Larkins, found a copy of Samuel

Palmer’s etching ‘The Herdsman’s Cottage’ in the Charing Cross Road. He hur-

ried to share his find with fellow students, Graham Sutherland and Paul Drury.

They were captivated by it, totally change their own techniques, and set off to explore Palmer’s Kentish landscapes. Sutherland, indeed, ended up living in

Trottiscliffe.

Ninety years later, this exhibition of those etchings celebrates both Palmer and

his admirers, Mascalls’ lovely gallery being the perfect setting.

Free admission. Open: Tues.-Thur. 10-5, Fri.-Sat. 11-4. Closed Sun.-Mon.

Our book (Michael Tong’s and mine) “ Underriver: Samuel Palmer’s Golden

Valley “ will be available at Mascalls’ bookshop (also available from me at any

time!)

A DATE TO KEEP FREE

*** Friday October 24th ***

In the Village Hall at 7.30pm a performance of

EYES FRONT IN AID OF THE SCOTT PROJECT

Please note corrected date above.

Presented by Patrick King, a former drummer in the London Scottish Band and a pro-

ducer of films on a variety of subjects.

This show contains old newsreel footage from the early days of photography in action

and an insight into how images sent home were first used as a morale booster or prop-

aganda.

Isla St Clair provides musical accompaniment with a selection of folk songs and music

from the wars with as much audience participation as desired. So it all ends up on a

happy note

The tickets will be £5 with added donations for gift aid. I am sure you will really enjoy

this. There might even be some other form of instrumental music!

Ticket application details will be in September Newssheet.

At the Stag Theatre, Sevenoaks (01732 450175) you will be able

to see:

Two Bullfrog Productions stage shows – Disney’s The Little

Mermaid (Saturday 2nd August) and Footloose (Friday 8th Au-

gust). In The Little Mermaid Ariel longs to leave her ocean home

for the world above, but she must first defy her father King Triton

and the evil sea witch Ursula and then convince Prince Eric that she

is the girl with the enchanting voice: songs include Part of your world, She’s in love and

Under the Sea. Footloose is a Chicago High School dance musical: songs include Hold-

ing out for a hero, Almost Paradise, Let’s hear it for the boy and the title song.

The National Youth Ballet’s touring Summer Season (Thursday to Saturday

21st to 23rd August). The programme will include The Doll’s House Fantasia (with

music by Strauss – check which one!) and several new works by talented alumni. Top

of the bill will be the première of choreographer Drew McOnie’s innovative jazz bal-

let Little Red Riding Hood (with music by Tom Deering).

Tonbridge Oast Theatre’s production of Cyprienne, which started on Saturday

26th July, will continue to Saturday 2nd August. See last month’s Newssheet for details.

Hever’s Lakeside Theatre (01732 866114) has a number of stage shows in August:

Two Italian operas on 1st and 2nd August – Puccini’s Tosca and Verdi’s Rigoletto;

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland on 5th and 6th August;

Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Pirates of Penzance on 7th and 8th August;

Robin Hood on 23rd August; and

Alan Ayckbourn’s It Could Be Any One Of Us from 28th to 30th August.

I could not find details on the website, but you may have more luck. I should perhaps

also mention that Hever’s season will end on Sunday 31st August with The Last Night

of the Summer Proms. Why not have a picnic by the lakeside if we are blessed with

lovely summer evenings?

Finally, live screened performances will continue in August:

At Sevenoaks’ Stag Theatre on Sunday 10th August you can see the Royal Opera

House’s production of Verdi’s La Traviata (one of my very favourite operas).

At Tunbridge Wells’ Trinity Arts Theatre also on Sunday 10th August, you can

see Glyndebourne’s production of – guess what – Verdi’s La Traviata.

I am afraid you will have to take your pick as you won’t be able to see Violetta dying

tragically of consumption twice on the same day!
