A follow up to “On the Loose”, “Bryant and May off the Rails” charts the Peculiar Crimes Unit’s pursuit of the fugitive Mr Fox – well written page turner.

One to dip in and out of and plenty to amuse – “The Prime Minister’s Ironing Board and Other State Secrets” by Adam Macqueen recounting true stories from declassified documents in the government archives.

Forget the Da Vinci Code, history this month is covered by Steve Tibble’s work “Templars – the Knights who made Britain” – diplomats, bankers, lawyers as well as fighting for the Holy Land.

And on a more philosophical note, “Conversations about the End of Time” with contributions by Stephen Jay Gould, Umberto Eco and others – thought provoking.

The charity has just celebrated its 15th birthday and continues its good work.

Let’s help them continue to “talk pants” – donations of gently worn bras and new (still in packaging with labels) pants to Debra Thatcher at 3 Main Street by 15th October.

To everyone who helped with the annual strim and rake of the churchyard in September and to those who provided the ploughman’s lunch

Also to Tim and Karen for participating in the Ride and Stride in aid of the Rutland Historic Churches Preservation Trust and to those on meet and greet duty in the church providing refreshments and encouragement to all the participants.
