BOOKS! BOOKS! BOOKS!

More than 20 years ago the Labour Party under Tony Blair had its second election victory – “The End of the Party” by acclaimed political commentator Andrew Rawnsley recounts the triumphs and tribulations as well as the personal feuds and reconciliations between key players in the party.  How many of the events can you recall?  An excellently written book and recommended.

Praise from this quarter for “Burnt Norton” by Caroline Sandon is not so forthcoming.  An interesting premise – a once grand house, reduced to ruin – but, in my opinion, not well executed.

M.C.Beaton’s “Death of a Cad” follows the standard and much loved pattern and the genre is supported this month by two Agatha Christie’s – “The Mysterious Affair at Styles” where the world is introduced to Hercule Poirot and “Murder at the Vicarage”, a Miss Marple mystery – who shot the churchwarden in the head? (I’m saying nothing!)

FOOD BANK

The next collection from the church porch is on Wednesday, 22nd February.

Please continue to give generously – pot noodles, cereal bars, long-life sponge puddings and custard, deodorant and shampoo are requested.

PETERBOROUGH HOMELESS COLLECTION

 

Thank you to those of you who have donated to the Peterborough homeless in the last few weeks. Your warm clothing was so necessary in that pre – Christmas icy cold patch. The organisers were particularly grateful for the 4 donated tents which we delivered to them at speed! We have been really touched by the number of very concerned folk who have arrived on our doorstep with donations. If you are having a post – Christmas clear out please bear the homeless in mind.

Items needed:

Sleeping bags and 2-person tents (not pop-up as these are not weatherproof and they blow away); Yoga/camping mats

Torches and anything camping related

Warm jumpers/sweatshirts S/M/L

Trainers/ boots with good soles sizes 8 – 10

Men’s jeans 30” – 32” waist; M/L joggers or similar

Winter/waterproof coats M/L

New/unused boxers S/M; New or used socks with wear left in them

Dog food – self-opening cans or dried food

Homeless people are rarely XL so please no bigger than large size. Neither duvets nor pillows can be accepted.

Many thanks for your generous donations and for your continuing support.
