VEILED TRUTH
A taxi driver travelling down Elizabeth Street in Melbourne picked up a Nun. She got into the taxi and couldn’t help noticing that the very handsome driver wouldn’t stop staring at her. Eventually she asked him why he was staring, what was so odd about her. He replied: “I would like to ask you a question, but don’t want to offend you.” She answered, “My son, you cannot offend me. When you’re as old as I am and have been a Nun and a teacher of adolescents as long as I have, you have seen and heard pretty well everything. I'm sure that there's nothing you can say or ask that I will find offensive.” “Well,” said the taxi driver, “I’ve always wanted to be kissed by a nun, it is a strange fancy of mine.” She responded, “Well, I see nothing wrong with indulging your little whim so long as first, you are single, and second you are Catholic.” The cab driver said, excitedly, “Oh yes, I'm single and Catholic!” “Alright” the Nun said, “pull into the next alley.” She fulfilled the man’s fantasy with surprising aplomb, giving him a smooch of surprising depth and feeling. When they got back on the road, the cab driver started crying. “My dear child,” said the Nun, why are you crying?” “Forgive me Sister, but I have sinned. I lied and I must tell you, I'm married and I'm Jewish.” The Nun replied, “Don’t worry about it. My name is Kevin and I'm going to a Fancy Dress Party”
TRAVELLERS TALES (30)
Andrew Neaum in the year 2000)
One of the joys of our time in Scotland and being able to lead there a rather more leisurely priestly life, was having time to do more reading. In the book by Marcus Borg I referred to last week, I noted in my journal that the author considered that the root cause of conflict between Jesus and those who put him to death lay in the contradiction between “Be compassionate as God is compassionate” and “Be holy as God is holy” in the Judaism of Jesus’ time. I also found time to reread Kipling’s most famous novel “Kim”. I love Kipling, especially his virtuoso verse. Kim, I rediscovered to be a fascinating and absorbing novel giving an authentic flavour of the ordinary lives of Indian people at the end of the nineteenth century. The book reveals Kipling to be far more than the jingoistic trumpeter of the British Empire he is sometimes portrayed to be. His sympathy with and love of India and its ordinary people is very evident and the relationship between Kim and the old Buddhist lama is beautifully drawn and intriguing.
Dinner date
At about this time we went to have dinner with local folk called Yorston. They live on the Carse in one of two flats in an ancient four hundred year old, double storied, white-washed house. Mr Yorston must be in his eighties, a retired ear, nose and throat specialist who, as an RAF bomber pilot, spent some months stationed at Guinea Fowl in Rhodesia during the war. This training base became the school that I attended in the early nineteen sixties. He proved to be a great teller of stories and reciter of verse. He too is a lover of Kipling and also a Scots Nationalist, but of the charitable not nasty sort. He dislikes and mistrusts Glaswegians far more than the English. He speaks Gaelic, pronounced here Gallic. They were about to depart to Iceland for a week, where he had been stationed during the war as a U boat-hunting, bomber pilot. We had a lovely meal of tinned grapefruit, boiled gammon, courgette, broccoli and new potatoes, and then a lemon pudding, all selected, prepared and made by him. He took over the cooking once he retired. He also does embroidery and has a privately bound book, with photographs, of all his wartime letters to his widowed mother. There is a long letter for every week of the war. His mother came from the Hebrides and they lived there for many years as children. His wife too is a lovely person, a faithful member of the All Souls’ congregation and we enjoyed a delightful evening.
Badgers and reindeer
In July we again headed north to stay for a couple of nights with David and Jill Couper, a retired teacher and his wife. David had been on the staff of Guinea Fowl School in Rhodesia when I was a student there, and introduced me to Scottish Country Dancing. This fascinating and eccentric couple have already been described in these Tales and so there is no need to dwell upon them again, however, while there we did make a trip or two that I haven’t mentioned. On our way north we stopped at a Scottish Wild Life Park on the advice of Fr Ashley’s parents. It proved a most interesting place. We travelled round safari style in the car, viewing bison, primitive goat/sheep creatures called mouflon, two ginger coloured and melancholy looking wild horses and antlered deer. Then on foot, at the centre itself, we viewed at last live though sleeping badgers, to Rachel’s delight. We also were able to view pine martins, wild cats, a pack of wolves, several birds, including capercaillies, and a pair of reindeer. The male reindeer was a ridiculous looking creature, its long nosed head weighed down by huge, macho antlers, its rear end adorned by a pair of tiny bollocks! A true male, more show than substance! We ate lunch there and then pressed on by secondary roads over beautiful country to arrive at the Couper’s delightful if slightly rundown stone house, a mile or two beyond the little village of Dallas near Forres.
Knockando & Johnny Walker
That evening David Couper and I went to view the church they attend in Knockando, seven miles away from their home. He was school principal at Knockando for twenty years. It is a straggling little village and I thought we had passed right through it when we suddenly turned off towards the church and school and came across a great lot of buildings, mostly stone and very interesting looking. They turned out to be a distillery, Johnny Walker whisky originates in little Knockando! We passed the distillery without any great deference because David Couper is a teetotaller and came to the school which has a huge, stone-walled and gardened school house in which the Coupers lived for some years and nearly bought for a song from the authorities. However, there were so many delays in the process of buying it that they bought their present abode instead. This is a pity, for the Knockando house is a fine one. The school and house are on top of an ancient, glacier-deposited bank that forms a steep, hundred foot high, grass lined embankment. This forms a natural amphitheatre above a field below which provides a wonderfully sheltered recreational area for the school children, the amphitheatre bounded on the open side by a burn in which are bred salmon fingerlings. The original church was burnt down some years ago and had a round tower, which is fairly unusual, I saw only two others while in Scotland. The new church is a very fine modern one, built with a sympathetic eye on the old one it replaced, and so it is also round towered and has pillars inside, though these are not integral to the structure, but largely ornamental. It is most pleasing and atmospheric church with a feel for tradition and history although very definitely modern. Not dissimilar in this regard to St John’s Wodonga which is likewise pleasingly modern but with a feel for the great tradition of which it is a part, a refreshing change from the pseudo gothic stone clichés that our ancestors so favoured in their nostalgia for Europe. The huge stone manse next door to the Knockando church had been sold off to some crotchety fellow years ago, but there remains a still used and immaculately kept graveyard with great trees all around and incomparable views. A lovely spot.
Hamish’s Plockton
The next day, after muesli and toast and a futile search for David Couper’s new deerstalker hat, we left in our car with him wearing an old deerstalker hat and made our way to Inverness, about thirty five miles away. There we crossed the firth of Moray on the huge suspension bridge, and in grey mist and drizzle headed south west across North Scotland, heading for Plockton. This is a small and famous village used as the setting for the TV show “Hamish Macbeth”. We once again traversed breathtakingly lovely scenery - alongside lochs and over passes, stopping at a restaurant for a cup of tea and a scone. Here some of David Couper’s eccentricity revealed itself. He tends to approach anyone and everyone to engage them in conversation, and so soon found out who owned the restaurant, whether a friend in the district was still alive and so on. Looking benignly bonkers with his outlandish gear, one working eye, two walking sticks and scraggy handlebar moustache he accosted people wherever we were. As soon as anyone drew near we could see him size them up with a view to asking them something.
The road we turned on to for Plockton was lushly lined with trees and rhododendrons and very narrow, with passing bays, winding along the contours of hills above the loch on which Plockton is situated. The loch was largely hidden by trees, until, for a moment, there was a gap and we slammed on brakes to photograph an impressive view of a mill-pond still loch with a wooded little island just below us and mountains and inlets in the background. Plockton itself was delightful with loch mirrored views from its loch-side main street. The weather had brightened considerably and we wandered about, David Couper bearding strangers to ask them this and that as we wandered. We then bought some made-up rolls and ate lunch in the car rejoicing in the wonderful view as it spat light rain. The West Coast of Scotland is very, very beautiful. After lunch we pressed on through yet more incomparable country to an even lovelier little loch-side village called Shieldaig.... here we stopped for an ice cream and stroll and then made out way home, stopping in Forres to get some flowers for Mrs Couper.
Aberdeen briefly seen
We awoke next morning to a grey day, though one with little promise of much needed real rain. I got up and strolled down the drive and a little way along the road with the Couper’s ancient dog tottering along behind me. It was a refreshing walk with a touch of drizzle in the mist to damp my beard. The lovely smell of conifers was in the air, but for the sake of the dog I turned back after but a short walk, the poor old thing was just spry enough to cock a leg without expiring. We had breakfast all together and after fond farewells and a couple of photos, we drove down the narrow lanes to Forres to visit Kathleen Cummins’ mother. Just the day before, Grant, Kathleen’s father, had returned home from hospital on his way to recovery from a series of heart attacks . He was in bed in a little downstairs room, and I sat and talked to him while the others went and chatted in the sitting room, looking at Jess’s photographs of Wodonga and Australia, which made Rachel nostalgic for our car and garden. Although Grant confessed to being no churchman, so impressed had be been by visits from their Church of Scotland minister in hospital, he was seriously thinking of becoming one. On our departure we decided to return home via the east, through Aberdeen, a city we had not visited and the third largest in Scotland. We stopped at Elgin, not far from Forres, looking for a particular shop, in vain. It is a big town with an impressive ruined cathedral (a pox on John Knox, Henry VIII and Cromwell!). Ruined cathedrals and abbeys and despoiled statues are melancholy sights. (to be continued)
PARISH FAIR AND GARDEN PARTY
The estimated profit from the Parish Fair, including the Raffle is $20,000. About two and a half thousand dollars were banked, but estimated expenses are likely to bring the total down no further than $20,000. This is a wonderful effort and a very great tribute to us all.
The best thing about the day was the constant and happy throng milling everywhere around the church and grounds, socialising, identifying authentic bargains, eating reasonably priced and excellent food and having a good time. The atmosphere was relaxed and happy and without doubt St Augustine’s Parish Fair is a major event in Shepparton, arguably the City’s very best annual Fete.
The amount of work involved is prodigious and inevitably some of us get a little testy and rattled at times. This is as much a part of family life as is sweetness, taking it in our stride and coping amiably with it being a sign of maturity and familial strength. There will be a final debriefing Fete Meeting at 4.30pm on Thursday 29th November at which constructive criticism will be welcomed so that we can make things even better next year.
Especial thanks to all stall holders and their teams, to the raffle organisers and ticket sellers, to the too small team of table, desk and trestle haulers, the entertainers both of children and adults, by way of displays, singing and flute playing and much more, to the cash managers and counters, the providers of tasty food and wine and bountiful produce to sell, in short to everyone. Unlike the lilies of the field, how we toiled and span and to what great effect.
Above all, thanks to Pat Gibson whose imagination and flair, patience and good humour has been the ground bass upon which all the melodies of success and joy were developed and depended. The little notes from her pushed under my office door have now diminished to a trickle, I almost regret to say.

CHRISTMAS “OUTREACH”
Material for the Christmas edition of “Outreach” needs to be left at the Parish Office no later than the 23rd of November please! Thank you. Ron Rose
ADVENT STUDY
There will be a four session Advent Study this year. Each will be held on Thursday evenings at 7.30 pm. They are based on the Names of Jesus and there is a list for the names of those who would like to participate in the Narthex. A balance for material and secular Christmas preparations.
CHRISTMAS CAKES
Those who have kindly offered to make us a Christmas Cake for drought affected folk as a token of our prayers and concern for them should have them available by Sunday the 25th of November, if possible please. Those who are daunted by the cost of ingredients, but who would like to participate, please have a word with the clergy or Treasurer and help can be provided.
ST MARY’S KATANDRA FESTIVAL
The St Mary’s Katandra Patronal Festival takes place on Saturday 8th of December at 8.00pm. Anyone who would like a lift with the Rector has only to ask.
YOUTH GROUP
The Arise 255 youth group go to Aqua Moves this Fri night the 23rd. Meet at Aqua Moves at 6.00pm, bring bathers and towel and lots of energy for a fun night in the pool. Cost $5.
CAROL SERVICE
The Carol Service this year is early, on Friday 14th of December at 7.00pm. Like the Parish Fair it is arguably the best in town, not least because it focusses, though with perzazz, upon what Christmas is all about and so Rudolph the ruddy red nose reindeer doesn’t get a look in, and nor does Santa. It is followed by a genteel booze up in the narthex afterwards. Bring along some friends.
CHARITY CARD SHOP
Please note that the card shop is now open from and our own Anglicare Cards are on sale there. Please give this your support: Scots Church Hall, Fryers Street. Mon-Thurs from 9.30-4.30; Fri 9.30-6.00; Sat 9.30- noon.
LAY READERS TRAINING DAY
There is a Lay Readers training day in Wangaratta on Saturday 1st of December from 9.00am - 2.00pm. Our little band of good folk who take services periodically should have a word with the clergy and make a point of attending. Organised by Matthew Healey it should be very worthwhile.
LECTIONARIES
Anyone who would like to purchase a Lectionary, please put your name on the list in the Narthex and signify which you want. The “New” is the one used for Sundays. The “Old” we use on weekdays to keep in with our lovely donated books of Readings.
VALUABLE ENCYCLOPAEDIA
Some months ago we appealed for knowledge of the whereabouts of an irreplaceable large volume of data relating to names and places in the Bible. Murrary Russell lent it to someone on the proviso that it be returned within a month. Many months have passed since then and Murray is making a last ditch attempt to have it returned. He is hoping that, now all the “swallows” have returned from holidays, that the details will be remembered and this book, given to Murray by his father, will be returned to him at 18 Wright Avenue, phone 58 313840.
