ETHNIC STEREOTYPING
McTavish popped into Harrods and said that he wished to buy his wife a really good fountain pen for her birthday. “Ah!” said the sales assistant, “that will be a nice surprise.” “It will indeed,” said McTavish. She is expecting a mink coat.”
Ginsberg, who never paid his bills was seen by a friend bargaining with a supplier. “Hey, Ginsberg,” he asked, “why are you knocking that man’s prices down. You are never going to pay him anyway.” “Listen,” said Ginsberg, “he’s a nice chap. I just want to keep down his losses.”
TRAVELLERS TALES (19)
Fr Andrew (2000)
The last of the three primary schools I attended was in Rhodesia and called Digglefold. It was about twelve miles outside a little town called Marandellas and was a genuine bush school, with rows of pine trees all over its extensive grounds. Marandellas, now called Marondera, is set in a lovely part of the country over five thousand feet above sea level. It contains lots of granite bouldered and baboon inhabited kopjes rising out of savannah type bush and farm land, the predominant tree being the beautiful msasa.
The school’s motto was “Upright and Strong” with pictures of pine trees on the badge! In those long gone and happy days, one of our school subjects was called “Nature Study” and study nature we did, with enthusiasm and joy. It was a wonderful setting in which to do so and it was at Digglefold that I first developed a love of birds. Until I left Africa I remained a fanatically keen ornithologist and spent most of my spare time out in the bush trying to connect bird calls to the often elusive birds emitting them.
Puffin hunting
On one of my Monday’s off while in Scotland we decided to go searching for puffins, the most engaging of all sea birds. We set off from Invergowrie up the coast to Auchmithie where, we had been told, you can sometimes see them. Indeed, if you are prepared to take boat trips and guided tours you can apparently see them by their thousand, but there is more thrill in searching them out for yourself. We headed the quick, inland way up the coast to Arbroath and then turned off on to quiet roads, wending our way through beautiful farmlands with fields full of yellowing barley. Auchmithie turned out to be a mere hamlet perched at the top of a high cliff above a pebble beach and also a broken-walled little harbour. Presumably the pebble beach and cliffs have helped ensure its lack of touristic development, though I personally would love to purchase one of the line of cottages on the cliff side of the single street, overlooking the North Sea. We walked down the steps and path to the beach, where a crane was doing something with the heaps of pebbles by the little harbour’s wall. I asked two salty old fellows if there were any puffins about and they told me that up the beach, along the cliffs, there might be one or two, but that if I really wanted to see them I should hire a boat. After amusing ourselves for a while with the beautifully rounded and colourful pebbles on the beach and skimming some of the flatter ones, we headed off along the beach to the cliffs. Elizabeth saw a puffin first, flying out to sea. Then, in a cave, she and I saw one pop out from a hole above a ledge and also fly out to sea. It was smaller than I expected, its bright red and yellow beak very distinctive and easy to identify. Then Rachel and Elizabeth saw one standing in the cave and we all saw it fly off, and then several others. Elizabeth and I then set out towards another cave, scrambling over great rocks and cliff falls, the cliffs above us salted and peppered with nesting gulls. We came to a difficult cliff to climb which I baulked at, after disturbing a roosting duck which all but tickled my head as it flew off, but Elizabeth pressed up and over and so I followed, having first got my feet wet trying to negotiate what I thought was a more judicious route at sea level. This cave, however, revealed no puffins, only pigeons. So eventually we made our way back to the car, well satisfied with ourselves and very thirsty.
Montrose and more
We then rambled along other little coastal roads, passing an impressive but very ruined “Red Castle”, stopping in Lunan to photograph a beautiful hump-backed bridge, with a stone walled and gracious home alongside it, the garden of which reached down to the river with ornamental lions on its walls. Sadly the elegant place had gone to seed and was full of human inhabitants who had also gone rather to seed, it being an old age home. Afterwards we went to Lunan Bay, where we found a great swathe of lovely beach with no one at all on it, as good as any you would find in Australia. We took a walk along it, finding lots of razor shells which I hadn’t seen since I was a boy. They don’t seem to occur in southern hemispheric seas. After this we pressed on to the city of Montrose. This is a largish town with a dock that is kept busy, I believe, by servicing oil rigs. We bought a cooked chicken, bread rolls and chocolate and ate a large and satisfying meal in a car park close to the sea, feeding the chicken skin and others bits and pieces to a noisy mixed band of black faced and herring gulls.
Our next visit was a nature reserve that overlooks a large tidal basin famous for sea birds and waders. It had a lovely observatory and information centre with benches and telescopes to view the birds and any other wildlife. We saw gulls, curlew, oyster-catchers, eider ducks and more, plus finches, tits and rabbits.
The Bishop of Wangaratta and wife
We made our way home via Forfar, arriving with three minutes to spare before Bishop and Mrs Farrer were due to visit us. They were on a short holiday trip to Britain and had rung to say they would call on us before heading on to have supper with their old friend Father Harvie. They arrived in a hired car of which the front passenger door didn’t work properly and which the bishop, in an excess of energy and justifiable pique, had pulled at so violently that he broke it off. They had spent some time in Nottingham on their way north to Scotland.
In Nottingham, a good many years previously, the Bishop had done a parish exchange like ours in Invergowrie. While there on this trip Mrs Farrer insisted that they make a pilgrimage across to Derbyshire and the town of Belper, the birth place of one of her heroes, Canon David Neaum. There they had found Christ Church, where Canon David first began to serve and sing in the choir at the age of six. It had just been beautifully restored and there was a flower show in session as well as some folk around who were only too happy to recall David Neaum and his whole clan.
We had a pleasant time with the Farrers and over a cup of tea they told us of how things proceeded back in Australia. The bishop said that he had never ever met an adult with quite such rosy cheeks as Fr Ashley! They had spent an incense wreathed Corpus Christi doing much as I had in Fr Harvie’s church in Dundee, but at St Mary’s Bourne Street, a London Anglo Catholic church with a beautiful musical tradition and a packed church for the feast day, the floors covered with sweet smelling greenery and herbs in honour of so significant a celebration. The service of Benediction in the evening there was sung by our Bishop in Latin, which is a language he says he doesn’t understand, so no small feat!
On their way to Fr Harvie’s for dinner I went with them as far as All Souls’ and showed them over the church. Mrs Farrer, like me, thought that a nave altar was aesthetically wrong, though the bishop disagreed. Like us they were both most struck by the church’s beauty. It was good of them to call on us.
Burnt pate
I walked back and knocked up a delicious meal by the simple expedient of adding curry powder to some left over stew. I then rang back the Provost of Dundee Cathedral, who had rung while I was out to ask me if I would celebrate a weekday mass at the Cathedral on the following Thursday, and who intended coming to call on us on the Wednesday afternoon. I noticed later, as I took my evening shower, that the day out puffin hunting has been sunny enough to burn my bald pate. Even the miserable pressure of the Rectory’s footling shower was sufficient to cause it to tingle and sting.
Blackberry jam
While in Scotland I kept my early rising habits, but because not living next to the church would sit meditatively in the Rectory lounge from about 5.00am onwards, listening to the doves calling and to lesser chirrups and tweets, after making myself a cup of coffee and as often as not spreading a slice of bread with lemon marmalade. One of the tastes from my youth that I was unable to recover while in Britain was that of bramble jelly or jam. The jam seemed unobtainable, and the commercially produced bramble jelly was bland and tasteless. There were great banks of brambles in the district, especially along the railway line, but we left before their blackberries were ripe and so were unable to collect any to make jam ourselves. This being so it was with great delight that I accepted from Margaret Morse, only a week ago, a jar of her own blackberry jam made from Australianised blackberries. It had the exact and beautiful taste of the jam I remembered from my youth.
Dundee Cathedral
One of the great privileges of being Rector of St John’s Wodonga is the daily Mass. Every day in this parish the great act of love and sacrifice offered by Christ in his death and resurrection, is recalled and reenacted in the Eucharist on behalf of our sick and needy and of us all. This was not so in Invergowrie. The only weekday Eucharist was on Wednesday mornings and, in term time, there was one at midday at the University. I was only too happy therefore to have been asked to fill a gap in the roster of Eucharist celebrants at the Cathedral in Dundee. On the designated morning I headed off for the city and parked the car in a small car park under the road bypass up to the Tay Bridge, and from which it is only a city block’s walk to the Cathedral. The Cathedral is a fairly large and unremarkable stone and spired building in need inside of some extensive restoration work, the paint on its walls was flaking off. There is what is nowadays the almost universal nave altar in front of the choir and there was a friendly verger present to greet me. I went down steep stairs to a small sacristy, donned my alb and found a week day missal for the readings, and so was able to set myself up with little difficulty. Like all nosy parsons I had a quick scan of the register - the main 11.00am Sunday Eucharist gets anything from 45 to 60 communicants. An earlier Sunday service seems often to have no one present at all, though before the present Provost’s regime there were twenty or more at this service. It is a small number of attenders to maintain or even justify so large a structure, though shortly before we left Scotland we learned that the Cathedral had been left more than a million pounds in a bequest! After a short chat with the nine or ten folk present, I made my way back to Invergowrie to take my part in the local primary school’s end of term service.
The Church is a sausage
This end of term service was in the Church of Scotland parish church and not the school hall, which meant that my proposed ad lib version of a talk about sausages made more sense and would be easier to fit in to the context. The church was filled with kids and their parents as well as with all the school teachers dressed up for the occasion. The school choir sat behind Mr Ramsay the Church of Scotland minister, and me. He, for the first time since I had seen him, was dressed in a dog collar. He produced a well structured and un-wordy service, with lots of songs or hymns. He also dedicated a new school flag, designed by the children. I gave my talk which seemed to hold everyone’s attention and also raised a laugh or two. The Church compared to a sausage has universal appeal.

SUDANESE VISITORS
On Sunday the 30th September we have a choir of about thirty Sudanese folk joining us at the 10.30am Eucharist. Afterwards they will be joining us at lunch to sing, dance and entertain us. All of this is to raise money for Yoril Hospital in Southern Sudan, the home place of Matoc who has been a part of our parish for the last three and a half years, mostly at Dookie, but now, latterly in Shepparton. The details of the day have still to be fully worked out but we do need offers of accommodation for the night of Saturday the 29th!! Please put you name down on the list in the narthex if you can help. Those who provided accommodation a couple of years ago were enormously blessed in doing so. Please book the date in you diary and ask friends along as well.
CONFIRMATION
The Confirmation takes place this month on Sunday 23rd at the 10.30am Eucharist. We have only two candidates: Sophie Bell and Tom Woocock, but they will be joined by a further two from the parish of Murchison and there will be several baptisms as well, so it should be a happy occasion. There will not be a parish luncheon afterwards because the following week we have one in honour of the Sudanese Choir.
REQUIEM FOR DAVID BURROW
There is to be a Requiem for David Burrow at St Brendan’s on Friday 7th of September at 7.30pm.
WHERE HAS IT GONE?
Murray Russell, lent a large book to some member of a Shepparton church, who visited his home. He can't remember who it was, but thinks it was someone who had given him a donation for chaplaincy. The book is very large, about 100 pages, is eighty years old and was given to him by his father; it has great sentimental value. It's a full encyclopaedia of Places and People spoken of in the Bible. Murray asked that it be returned within the month, but somehow memories have failed and the book is still missing even though more than a year has passed. If you know of its whereabouts could you please contact him at 18 Wright Ave or ring him on 58313840
GRIEF SUPPORT
"Moving On". The next meeting is on Tuesday 11th September at 7.30pm, in the Narthex. All welcome
SPARE A GOLD COIN
The "Spare a Gold Coin" ABM appeal from the 16th to the 30th of September, is to raise funds for water projects in the Philippines. For many rural and remote communities in the Philippines, access to water remains a huge problem if not the biggest problem of their daily existence. Women & children are particularly disadvantaged as fetching water is part of their traditional role in the household. In most cases the water source is kilometres away. Please be responsive! Nola
