14 METHODIST GUILD REPORT Joy Clews is an intrepid lone traveller who loves India. She organises her trips and sets off with just a backpack. Using only local transport - tuk tuks, buses and trains she visited southern India. Although she visits temples and cities, Joy loves most of all to get off the beaten track and mix with the local people. She takes literally hundreds of photos, many of which she brings to illustrate her talks to us. Such an entertaining lady - she still has many stories to tell us and will surely be back Dennetts Ice Cream is has been in existence since 1926 when Robin Dennett's grandfather decided to diversify his farming business. Already making cheese and butter, he decided ice cream was his next enterprise, making and selling on the same day. Today, Robin runs the family business from Spilsby making 32 flavours of ice cream, several flavours of frozen yoghurt and sorbets. His wife opened an ice cream parlour in Lincoln with a vaulted cellar tea room. Robin brought along some vanilla ice cream, raspberry yoghurt and mango sorbet for us to try - delicious! 12

County Councillor Lewis Strange confirmed that his term as County Councillor for this area was coming to an end but he is standing for election again in May and is hoping to be re-elected for a further term.

26 MAKE IT A DATE: MAY 5 TH ROGATION SUNDAY At last spring seems to have arrived. As I write, the sun is shining, it is several degrees warmer outside than it has been for months, and the vicarage garden seems to be coming to life once more. It is a new garden, mostly only planted up last year, and some of the new shrubs did not survive the winter. They will have to be replaced. Although this is disappointing, it is not the end of the world. All gardens, especially new ones, have their ups and downs and sometimes plants fail to thrive. However, for our farmers the recent long spell of cold, dry and windy weather has meant that their crops and animals have been badly affected, and this is a much more serious matter. I am sure we have all seen in the news scenes in some parts of the UK of sheep buried in snow drifts, and lambs that have not made it through the coldest days. Even where the weather has been less snowy, the cold has meant that pasture is very poor and arable crops are so delayed it s anyone s guess what sort of a harvest we will see this year. None of us can control the weather, of course, so it is important that we do whatever we can to use resources wisely and to support those most affected by adverse conditions. Perhaps making a special effort to buy local produce would help, as would looking out for our neighbours who farm for a living, and being aware of the stress that some of them are under. The Lincolnshire Rural Support Network offers all sorts of advice, help and support for rural communities and also raises funds to assist in times of crisis it s worth looking at the website if you d like to know more. At Bishop Norton St Peter s on May 5 th our usual 9.30 Sunday service will mark Rogation Sunday. This is a time in the Christian calendar when we think especially of life in our villages and pray for all who live here, for gardeners and allotment holders, for local industries, and for our school and community groups. We ask God to bless the land, animals and crops, and we renew our faith in God s loving care for all of us, even in challenging times. Weather permitting, some of the service will take place outside in the churchyard. Everyone in the Triangle is invited to some along and share in this service, and to spend a little time reflecting on our place in the created order and our use of nature s resources. Hope to see you there! Revd Kathy 24
