Ronald Blythe is glad to see the scythe cut through the weeds
MY NEIGHBOUR Jonathan Doe, “Hedgecutting Specialist”, is paying his destructive visit. And thank goodness, for the ancient farm-track is all but obliterated by growth. Tangles of weed had begun to hold hands over it, and sagging boughs to canopy above it. But now, thanks [...]

Ronald Blythe dreams of Newman, and a regimental dance
I HAVE been re-reading John Henry Newman. What a peerless writer. It is his prose and poetry that qualify him for sainthood. He wrote his own epitaph — Ex umbris et imaginibus in veritatem —”From shadows and symbols into the truth”. Thus he joins St Paul and [...]

Ronald Blythe enjoys his proximity to two cathedrals
IN DIOCESAN geography, I stand on the river-line between “my” two cathedrals — St James’s, at Bury St Edmunds, and St Mary the Virgin, St Peter, and St Cedd, at Chelmsford. Often, on Sunday mornings, as I announce the first hymn at our village matins, I hear their [...]

Thoughts from the Vicarage…
It is more usual for me to look forward in my column but so much has happened over the last month that I want to look back ….
On Saturday 10th July, we held another Fun Day at the church with a Dog Show, judged by Jodie Rutland MRCVS, parachuting teddies off the [...]

Ronald Blythe is an appreciative guest at a summer wedding
JULY. The hillside horses flesh their tales, the white cat bakes on the wall, her eyes emerald slits. The oaks haven’t the energy to rustle. All is burning and still. Using Roger Deacon’s inestimable gift, a lightweight scythe, I have demolished a patch of rough before [...]

Ronald Blythe mourns the loss of a knowledgeable dean
SUMMER rain. It falls, not for minutes, but for hours, beating the borders into submission, knocking the hollyhocks for six, dashing the scent from the roses. At first, it leaps up from the hard earth, but soon it penetrates. Its noise is like a distant army or [...]
