Extremely friendly and generous gentleman, the great John Eaves - now appearing live and in person! You might know him as the designer of the frickin' Enterprise E! Yeah, that's right! Seriously: super nice guy. You ever see him, buy him a beer for me.
St Michael, Copford, Essex
The first day of the summer holidays, and I made a dash for freedom. It was much too hot to plan anything significant, and in any case the trains are still unreliable, it is now almost two months since the timetables changed and they are still not running to time. And it didn't help that the Norwich to London train hit a fallen tree near Diss. But still I wanted to go out. I wanted a bike ride in nice country, with some of my favourite churches, churches that would be open, a bit hilly but not too hilly, and not too far away. So the obvious answer was the Suffolk/Essex borderlands.
I caught the 0930 to Marks Tey, which eventually left at 0940, arriving Marks Tey just after 1000. We're out in outer Colchester suburbia here, but it is less than a mile over the A12 and out into lonely lanes which took me past Copford Hall school where a cricket match was taking place beside the church. It was probably a summer school rather than a public school match, but even so the atmosphere was very much PG Wodehouse meets Agatha Christie. And then there is the church. This is my third favourite Essex church after Thaxted and Mundon. It is actually a better church than Mundon, but Mundon wins for it being so lost and lonely, the atmosphere and the setting. But Copford never disappoints, it has one of the biggest wow factors of any church of its size, those wonderful wall paintings and the way the nave climbs high into the air. If it was in Norfolk or Suffolk it would be much better known. This was my fifth visit I think, and I still see things I hadn't spotted before, like the woodland creatures on the 1950s stalls, which include the expected hedgehog, squirrel, rabbit, etc, but also a koala bear!
I eventually dragged myself away, cut through Colchester's grimly anonymous suburbia of Stanway and Lexden (noting with some pleasure that term had not yet finished at the Stanway schools) back over the A12 and then climbing steeply up into West Bergholt.
Thanks to a generous donation from Reached out to Asia (ROTA), ANERA successfully distributed over 1,400 sets of sports gear and uniforms to Palestinian, Syrian, and Lebanese sports teams in different regions and camps across the country.
More than 2000 children are beneficiaries of the new sports gear, allowing them to create a sense of community and bonding among their teammates. “A sports jersey may not mean much to others,” explains Coach Khalil Mansour, the head of the Wahdeh Sports Club, ANERA’s local partner in Nahr el Bared Camp, “but for these children, who come from fragmented communities and are constantly faced with challenges, it helps them create a sense of belonging and community.”
Many young boys and girls living in refugee camps and tented settlements seek out sports opportunities as a temporary safe-haven from their challenging daily lives. As such, ANERA provides its local partners with more than just the resources to create sports teams. Rather, its assistance provides youth with the tools to create collaborative healthy and professional sports communities.

The more we give, the more we have. And in that state of generosity, willing spiritual sharing, we ourselves are healed. For when are generous, we can see the vast abundance that is also there for us. This is true generosity because no one is excluded. We are drawn together, united by it. Through it we have a taste of union. It grants us ease and gives us the grace of knowing that life is more than an endless struggle. Indeed it is gracious, generous, and kind"

The theme of this year’s event was the stunning GREAT British Week, held in January under the generous patronage of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, the aim of which was to celebrate the close friendship between Britain and Bahrain and all that is best about Britain, as well as launching preparations for the bicentenary of bilateral relations. A film of the highlights of GREAT British Week was played.
The Embassy was proud to receive His Highness Sheikh Abdullah bin Hamad Al Khalifa, as Guest of Honour, representing His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa. The Ambassador, Iain Lindsay OBE, invited guests to join in loyal toasts to Her Majesty The Queen and to His Majesty.
Speaking at the event, the Ambassador said: “Over the last year, an already close relationship has become even stronger. The warmth of the friendship between our countries was clear throughout the 50 plus events of GREAT British Week. I am delighted that His Highness Sheikh Abdullah bin Hamad Al Khalifa, who supported a number of events during the Week, has been able to join us this evening to celebrate Her Majesty The Queen’s birthday.”
The Ambassador expressed his gratitude to British Airways, EuroMotors and Standard Chartered for their generous sponsorship of the event. He also thanked the Kanoo Group and Wrightbus for providing an iconic London red double-decker bus; BMMI; the British School of Bahrain Choir and Frankie and Friends Jazz Band for performing during the evening; the Captain and ship’s company of HMS Ramsey for the Sunset Ceremonial; and the bugler and pipers of the Ministry of Interior Band.
Cemin's generosity of spirit is best exemplified by the fountain he designed for the town of Reston, Virginia, in 1990. It is a real fountain, 26 feet high and built of white Carrara marble, not some concrete monolith with a leak. It takes up the historicist themes of the surrounding post-Modern architecture, but it does not do so slavishly, and it is no more of a pastiche than Stravinsky's neoclassical ballets are. A great bowl rises from a pool and a column rises from the bowl, swelling and contracting, twisting and turning in homage to Gaudi. Attached to the various protuberances of this column are bronze forms that are half sea horses, half horns of plenty, from which water gushes in extravagant quantities. The whole ensemble is topped with the statue of a lithe and youthful Mercury, which would be entirely classical in style if this Mercury didn't seem to be having some difficulty maintaining his balance.

Organised by the local Co-op store, their customers have donated all that money to Friends of Cathja, an immensely worthwhile charity. I only found out about them recently and am now redoing their website, live from 11 Dec 18 (www.cathja.org), doing some photography etc. The lady is an NHS anaesthetist and trustee of Cathja.
