Respect and Admiration

Not only............

did our amazing band take part on Saturday in the Lord Mayor's Show (great coverage on BBC) in pouring rain, they then joined us for the two minute silence at our Remembrance Day Service on Sunday.

Well done, we are so proud of you all.

Oh Happy Day

Rachel Anne Feltham was baptized and welcomed into the Lord's family at St. John's yesterday.

A much loved baby........

Summer Concert

Then after the Community celebrations at the Maeldune Fayre on Saturday, there was the added treat of the Kingston and Malden Scout and Guide Band Summer Concert in the evening.

They were brilliant and as a certain family member remarked," every year they get better and better".

Ascension then Pentacost....

Pentacost was celebrated at the Parish family barbecue yesterday. Young and old enjoyed good company and copious amounts of delicious food in the Spring sunshine.

Lovely Grub! (doesn't look like Harvey enjoyed it much does it?)

What is the Vicar doing?

Body Found in Churchyard

Who sez there’s no old buzzards at St John’s?

Old buzzards here?

Buzzards in our Yard?

This one was found in the grass under the Lady Chapel
East Window, it’s wingspan, over 600mm.

Was it brought by a fox? How ever would a fox catch a buzzard?
We discovered it had been dead for over a week! Lots of down
feathers were strewn about, but not the wing or tail feathers.
When foxes take chickens, they scatter feathers everywhere, immediately.

Along the Hogsmill, the high population of squirrels, rats and mice
probably tempts people to put down bait.
Would weakened prey attract a buzzard? Make the bird too weak to escape?
But would local foxes have learned to leave a tainted meal alone?

For identification, these  tail, wing, face and talon pictures were sent
to an RSPB contact.
He had no doubt it was a buzzard, not an owl, and not a red kite.

If you see buzzards, kites, kestrels, or hear or see owls locally,
please email us  at e.sealy@virginmedia.com

Spring Concert

You don't know what you missed.............

The wonderful, amazing, talented young people in the Kingston and Malden Scout and Guide Band put on a virtuoso performance on Saturday night.  Their arrangement of  James Bond Movie theme tunes had a definate "wow" factor.

Thank you for a great evening.
