A View From My Window
Its amazing what a dierence a bit of lovely weather makes, although as I write and
the sun is s9ll shining , I am very aware of wil9ng plants that are wai9ng to go into
the ground which is hard and dry, and s9ll rather cold. But my thoughts are turning
to holidays ; we are o soon to France and look forward to siXng outside without a
eece , and yet as I write we are s9ll in the season of Easter , and Ascension day is
yet to come and by the 9me you read this will have come and gone

I wonder how many people think much about Ascension Day and what it can
possibly mean. Not all that long ago we all had a day o school and correct me if Im wrong but its s9ll a
na9onal holiday in essen9ally Roman catholic countries. In church circles in this country it will have been
celebrated and depending on churchmanship there will have been incense in some, par9cularly as we
think of the word ascension , and thats exactly what the smoke of incense does, rises, and in others there
will have been joyful services full of music and happiness. Jesus has not only risen from the dead, but he
has ascended into heaven.

Now at this point dont stop reading. Of course its one of the great mysteries of the Chris9an faith and its
perfectly Ok , in fact a good thing to ques9on how this could possibly have happened , but what would be
beber would be to ask the ques9on , why did this happen? Why did Jesus come back and appear to so
many people? Why did he wait so long before he somehow was re absorbed into his fathers territory, or
wherever you like to think heaven is? Some9mes its easier to see things in the way children do. They can
accept that Harry Pober can go through the wall of the plaeorm on the sta9on and in so doing they can
explore the wonderful possibili9es of Hogwarts and the world beyond. They dont get hung up on the rst
hurdle.

Just think for a moment Jesus lived on earth ,and then he died and then he rose and saw so many
people, and then the ASCENSION. How can we possibly explain that? Well Ill try. Imagine a balloon with
the picture of Jesus on it. And the balloon moves along from one person to the next, and obviously whilst
the balloon is in one place, it cannot be in another. Imagine if that balloon were to burst, the air or the
essence of it (of Jesus) would be released into the atmosphere and rise up. The remains of the balloon
would fall to the ground somewhere , but the essence of it, the air would rise, and then come down
again and land on as many people as are around.

If God is one and in three parts, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, then the Holy Spirit which is the link between
God and all of us can be released wherever it will only aAer the contained human Jesus had leA this
earth, and Alleluia at Pentecost (4th June) we celebrate the day when the Holy spirit did indeed come
down on the heads of the disciples like tongues of ame and the church was born.

Maybe thats what it means to have a aming June. Have a good one.

THE FREEWHEELERS (BLOOD BIKES)
(Emergency Voluntary Service)

On Wednesday 14th June 2017 from 6pm onwards

Take a Trip Down Memory Lane with

THE LACKHAM VINTAGE SOCIETY

who will be gathering on

POULSHOT VILLAGE GREEN

Poulshot, Nr. Devizes, Wiltshire

with a display of vintage vehicles

Anyone wishing to bring a vintage vehicle along will be most

welcome. A rae will be held with all proceeds going to
The Freewheelers
If you would like to donate a rae prize, please bring it
along on the night or take it to Keith and Pauline Day
at 39.The Green, Poulshot, Devizes, Wiltshire.
Refreshments will be available. Free Admission

ALL ENQUIRIES TO KEITH & PAULINE DAY 01380 828459/07518235850

The Lackham Vintage Society has chosen this year to donate the proceeds from The Vintage Vehicle evening on
Wednesday 14th June 2017 to The Freewheelers Emergency Voluntary Service (Blood Bikes). We feel that this is a
very worthwhile cause and not one of the more recognised chari9es.

Freewheelers are a registered charity that provides a free of charge, out of hours medical motorcycle courier service
to the Na9onal Health Service. They provide a courier service to hospitals.

They provide to play a part in saving peoples lives and ride to save the Na9onal Health Service money which would
otherwise be wasted on taxis and expensive couriers. They operate from 19.00hrs un9l 7.00hrs on weekdays and 24
hours at weekends and bank holidays.

The service is provided by volunteers and they depend en9rely on public dona9ons and sponsorships.

Some of the things that they carry are Blood for transfusion, Platelets and other blood products, Urine, Pathology
and Microbiology specimens, X-rays, Scans, Pa9ents notes, Breast milk and small medical equipment.

They use liveried BMW motorcycles bed with blue lights and sirens so that deliveries classied as an emergency
can be delivered safely and quickly.

In 2008 the Freewheelers Volunteers were awarded The Queens Award for Voluntary Service this is recognised as
the MBE for Volunteers.

Hopefully the weather will be kind to us on the night and with your support we will be able to raise a substan9al
amount of money for this cause.
 Can You Help Us To Build A Better Future For Your Air
Ambulance?

Wiltshire Air Ambulance has been saving lives for over 27 years and work has begun on our
new airbase at Semington, near Melksham.
The new airbase will bring together our helicopter, aircrew and charity team
onto one site for the first time.
The central location of our new airbase will mean our helicopter will be
able to reach all parts of Wiltshire within 11 minutes, as it currently
does now from its base in Devizes.
Our fundraising appeal for the new airbase has got off to a flying start,
but we still need to raise just under 1 million to complete the building
and equipping of it.
Can you help us raise the vital funds for our Airbase Appeal? There are lots of different ways
you can get involved, such as holding a cake sale, organising a challenge event or uploading a
photo for our helicopter mosaic.

We also have fun ways for schools and businesses to get onboard and support our appeal.
Find our more by visiting our special website www.wiltshireairbaseappeal.co.uk , call the
Charity Team office on 01380 739453 or email hello@wiltshireairambulance.co.uk

Registered charity number: 1144097

Jerry and Natalie welcomed the village to the
Raven to celebrate Jerrys 50th Birthday. and to
collect donations on behalf of Alzheimers
Research UK.

The night was met with a fantastic band 5 Wheel Drive, amazing curry, great fun and
generous friends raising in excess of 2000.00.

Jerry is grateful for all the well wishes and the generosity shown to such a needed charity.
He will not be submitting the money raised for another week so any further donations are
warmly welcomed.

Well done Jerry!

On Tuesday May 23rd BT were found to be placing telegraph poles on the Green illegally.
The Green is deemed a Conservation Area privately owned by the Parish Council and
by law must receive special permissions before changes to the Green may be made. The
Authorities were called and Wiltshire Council as residents of Poulshot blocked any further
works to be completed. There will be continued discussions with BT with the purpose of
finding an appropriate solution. The Council wishes to thank those parishioners that
helped on the day and will work to keep the Village updated as negotiations continue.

Village Hall welcomed

The Bonfire Radicals

back to the Village for a second time for an
evening of superb Folk music.

Over forty five people attended the evenings

entertainment and Poulshot was introduced to
another great artist Amit Dattani!

Amit and the BFR gave us a fantastic evening

of music and cultural variations performing
pieces with a French twist to musical pieces
with a more Indian feel; each piece written by
one or more members of the band.The
evening was superb and enjoyed by all!

 SiTng in an English garden waiUng for the sun, and if the sun dont come, well be
standing in the English Rain John Lennon

Our love aair with our gardens has evolved over hundreds or years, inuenced by poli9cal, social and
the cultural life of the period. Even in the 21st century, we love to emulate the gardens of our past,
looking to using all manner plants and trees, and of course no garden is complete without the pots,
urns, benches or pergolas.

Garden an9ques can add the touch of understated

elegance and luxury and are always a very personal
and considered purchase. The most common
an9que for the garden is the planter, which of
course can be the tradi9onal carved sandstone
troughs, but sugges9ons of old Belfast sinks or cast
iron feeders make wonderful alterna9ves. Saddle
stones (mushroom stones) were used to support
barns and granaries to prevent spoilage of the
produce by the elements and vermin, and great
regional varia9ons exist in shape and stone.
But it is
important
to think
outside the
box and look at architectural reclama9on as these one of a
kind statements can transform your garden. Think beau9ful
scrolled iron work gates or reclaimed 9mbers made in to a
beau9ful arbour.
A great personal love of mine is the stunning iron benches,
par9cularly from the Georgian period. Aben9on to detail was
given to the simple decora9on and curve, and denes this
period so beau9fully. But they do come with quite a heAy
price tag! But if you are lucky you may nd a hidden gem in a
local reclama9on yard, so keep hun9ng you never know what
you will come across to adorn your lible bit of England!

BUZZ GROUP

What's the Buzz Group you may ask? Well it was started a while ago to discuss various issues
covering subjects from Lent courses to Praying, to have a better understand of church services to the
simple subjects that some of us find difficult to understand.

Many of us go to church on a Sunday for various reasons, ie to join with other like minded people to
share our faith, to enjoy the singing etc. How often do we take for granted what the church service is
all about? The Buzz Group has become a monthly meeting of friends who enjoy discussing lots of
varied and interesting subjects. It is not a Bible Study Group (although there is one in the Benefice),
but a chance to share so many things with friends. If you have something on your mind that you want
to discuss, then do come along and share this with us all. It's fun, we start with a cuppa and suddenly
an hour and a half has whizzed by. The Revd Jane Knowles is 'in charge' but we all play an active part
in the group. We meet the first Wednesday in the month and the next meeting is 7 May at Sue Noad's
house. If anyone is interest in coming along, be it for the first time, or a return visit, please ring either
Jane (870235) or Sue (870433). We would love to welcome you.

Pam Gilles wrote in to us with a photo and a story of a find she made in the garden

We discovered this little chap in our, luckily dry, water feature. We put a roof over him
to keep the rain off and put food down for him with some water. A plank was also
placed into the water feature to see if he would get out by himself. The food quickly
disappeared but he showed no signs of leaving and we were at the stage of trying to
lift him out and put him somewhere quiet when we woke up after 4 days to find him
gone.

We are very lucky to have 5 or 6 visiting hedgehogs every night and it is so nice to be
able to look out of the front door windows and watch them feeding.
