Ruyton XI Towns Parish Newsletter 27 April 2021

Dear Blogger

Message from Lydia Bardsley, Ruyton XI Towns Parish Clerk.

RUYTON XI TOWNS PARISH COUNCIL
NEWSLETTER UPDATE

Parish Council – uncontested election

At the close of nominations on 8th April, there were fewer nominations than available seats on the Parish Council, and therefore the candidates shown in the attached notice of uncontested election have been duly elected unopposed. They will take up office on 10th May 2021. This means that there will be two vacancies, which the Parish Council has the right to fill by co-option within 35 days of the date of the election. More information about being a councillor can be found on the Local Election page of our website. Please feel free to contact the clerk if you are interested in joining the Council or if you have any queries (NB. new phone number: 01691 674742).

Anne Smith, Rest in Peace

Dear Blogger

Message from Alan Smith.

Anne Smith of Church Cottage

Many of you in the Parish, the 'Church around The Cliffe' benefice and beyond will know by now that Anne Smith of Church Cottage died in the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital on the 15^th April.

She was only there for a few days as two recent cancers had ganged up on her.

Pandemic regulations are such that, sadly, only thirty of her family, ex-colleagues and friends can be invited to attend the Church Service. This will be held at Ruyton XI Towns Church on Wednesday, 5^th May at 2.30 p.m. Anne will have lain in the Church overnight..

Looking to the future.
A Commemoration Service for Anne is envisaged when all will be welcome and we can, once again, sing.

Many thanks to you all for your support at this sad time.

Alan Smith

Dear Blogger

Roger and I are getting ready to welcome you to Brownhill House Garden on 27th April - weeding, cutting back, edges, dead heading the daffs, and making the cakes!

We have stayed with the booking on line arrangement because we are so short of parking for visitors, but if you can walk or cycle, we will be happy to take your money on the gate.

If you have not been before, a brochure on the history of the garden is available, lots of plants for sale and, of course, the tea and cakes.

Brownhill House, Ruyton XI Towns, nr Shrewsbury; open on Tuesday 27th April; tickets need to be purchased in advance to an arrival slot. Extensive plant sale; refreshments available outside. No wheelchair access and those with walking difficulties may find this garden difficult but there are plenty of places to sit in the upper garden and enjoy the views. Click here for more information and booking: https://ngs.org.uk/view-garden/8581

You can`t see this lady from the road or the footpath. In fact there is loads you can see, walking round the top, especially the wonderful view.

Spring is in the air and we are very excited to finally be able to open ou=
r doors again on Monday 12th April. We do so hope you will drop by to see=
us. We have been very busy behind the scenes=2C painting=2C refreshing=
=2C recreating the Booka space=2C so that you our customers can feel safe=
and relaxed while you browse our bookshelves and choose your books.

We have two new members of staff - Amy and Amanda who will be on hand to w=
elcome you back and help with recommendations and orders=2C so please say=
hello and have a chat with them.

The Booka shopfront has been repainted with our new re-branded 'Booka Blue=
' - Tim had lots of lovely comments while he was painting so we hope you=
all approve. We think it makes the window displays stand out more.

We are still running a regular events programme=2C but at the moment this=
is online. We partnered with 3 other independent bookshops - Book-ish=2C=
Crickhowell=2C Forum Books=2C Corbridge and Linghams Books=2C Heswall to=
run virtual events on 'At Home with 4 Indies'.

Read on to find out more about the latest books=2C events and how to shop=
at Booka once we are open again.

Over the last 12 months=2C our online events platform=2C 'At Home with 4 I=
ndies' has hosted over 250 events. While we still can't host 'in-person'=
events we have a varied programme of upcoming author events:

Our Book of the Month for April is the unnerving=2C 'The Last House on Nee=
dless Street' by Catriona Ward.
It is a dark=2C gothic tale masquerading as a Psychological thriller but o=
n reading reveals itself to have a much deeper and multi-layered core. It=
is a gripping read and one that will leave you breathless and shocked by=
the twist in the tale =E2=80=93 it is completely original and unexpected.=
A book we couldn=E2=80=99t help but champion. Read it and find out why.

------------------------------------------------------------

Despite the difficult times we are living through=2C we can always take le=
ssons from the past and Liz Kessler's book 'When the World Was Ours' tells=
the emotive tale of three young people caught up in the terrors of World=
War Two. This is a book inspired by Liz's Grandfather's life and one whi=
ch teaches us all that there is hope even in the darkest of times.

We are thrilled to be hosting an online event for 'Secondary Schools' on T=
uesday 20th April. Any teachers who would like their schools to be involv=
ed=2C please view our newsletter here (https://pdfhost.io/v/6yQx55V8i_Spri=
ng_Events_Secondary_schools.pdf) for more information.

Some of you avid BBC Radio Shropshire listeners=2C may have recognised a v=
oice from the Bookshop recently. Carrie has been chatting with Paul Shutt=
leworth on his afternoon show - as part of his 'Ask an Expert' slot.
Paul invites different experts on to his show to chat about their area of=
expertise - in our case books.
It's been a great opportunity to give a 'Shout-Out' for books we love.

Recent recommendations have been:

Darwin's Dragons by Linsday Galvin - an epic adventure story=2C rooted in=
natural history with characters inspired by real-life people. It is full=
of wonder and imagination - a great blend of factual events with exciting=
fiction.

Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro:
A stunning speculative novel that explores AI technology from the perspect=
ive of the AI=2C Klara. She is highly intelligent with incredible powers=
of observation that allow her to quickly assimilate the traits and charac=
teristics of the family she lives with and other people she meets. For al=
l Klara=E2=80=99s technological advantages=2C nothing prepares her for the=
vagaries of the human heart and the wiley nature of the people she so loy=
ally seeks to help. Klara teaches us about the importance of hope when al=
l else seems lost and through her eyes we reflect on how we live now and w=
hat it means to be human. Full of literary nourishment and subtltety=E2=
=80=99.

Both available on our website (https://www.bookabookshop.co.uk/)

Barbara Pym is one of our local 'Literary Heroes'. We are thrilled that a=
cclaimed biographer=2C Paula Byrne has written and new and well overdue bi=
ography of an often undervalued 20th century writer.

Paula will be in conversation with Caroline Lang (of Moreton Girls' School=
) discussing her new book=2C 'The Adventures of Miss Barbara Pym'.

Barbara Pym was acclaimed by Philip Larkin as the era's own Jane Austen. P=
aula's book is the first to make full use of the Pym archives and sheds dr=
amatic new light on both Pym=2C the woman and the writer.

Fans of Barbara Pym's clever and gently humorous writing=2C will be given=
a fascinating insight into one of our great English novelists.

We have various ticket options:

=C2=A35 - access only

=C2=A325 - access to the event and a signed (bookplated) book delivered to=
your door

=C2=A335 - Deluxe 'Pym & Pimms' Bundle - access to the event=2C signed (bo=
okplated) book=2C heritage Barbara Pym postcard=2C artisan limited edition=
Pimms-flavoured chocolate bar=2C created by our own Niche Patisserie. Thi=
s bundle will be delivered to your home before the event. Last day for ord=
ering is Thursday 16th April.

Tickets can be purchased here (https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/an-evening-w=
ith-paula-byrne-tickets-146674484331?aff=3Debdsoporgprofile)

Our Kids Book of the Month for April is 'Weirdo' by the fabulous and highl=
y acclaimed couple=2C Zadie Smith and Nick Laird.

'Meet Maud: a guinea pig who inexplicably wears a judo suit - and not ever=
yone understands or approves. When Maud is thrown into a new and confusing=
situation=2C it takes brave decisions and serendipitous encounters for he=
r to find her place and embrace her individuality.

The charming characters of Magenta Fox=2C whose work is evocative of Raymo=
nd Briggs and Janet Ahlberg=2C perfectly offset Zadie and Nick's warm=2C w=
ry prose.

Weirdo is an endearing story about the quiet power of being different by t=
wo veteran writers=2C and introduces an exciting debut illustrator. Togeth=
er they have created a picture book that adults and children alike will tr=
easure.'

Suitable from 3 years +

We love the themes in this story and can't wait to get our copies to displ=
ay in the shop and share with our readers.

And so - after what seems to have been 'forever'=2C we can finally open ou=
r doors again to you=2C our dear readers. We cannot wait to welcome you b=
ack=2C to chat to you about books we love=2C to pass the time of day=2C to=
cogitate about the weather and all the boring bits of lockdown. The need=
for human contact and interaction has been missing in our bookshop for fa=
r too long and we want the BUZZ BACK!

Please come and support us as we seek to build up our business again. It'=
s been a very tough 12 months and we need you. Every sale makes a huge di=
fference.

Our opening hours from Monday 12th April (for Bookshop only) will be as fo=
llows:
Mon to Sat 9.30 am to 4.30 pm
Sundays - Closed

We hope to resume our longer opening hours by Monday 17th May when we will=
also be able to open our cafe again.

Once again we will be following Government Guidelines and ask all customer=
s to wear a mask whilst in the shop. Hand sanitser will be at the door an=
d key areas around the shop. We ask for all customers to hand sanitise be=

Despite the difficult times we are living through=2C we can al=
ways take lessons from the past and Liz Kessler's book 'When the World Was=
Ours' tells the emotive tale of three young people caught up in the terro=
rs of World War Two.  This is a book inspired by Liz's Grandfather's=
life and one which teaches us all that there is hope even in the darkest=
of times.<br>

Some of you avid BBC Radio Shropshire listeners=2C may have re=
cognised a voice from the Bookshop recently.  Carrie has been chattin=
g with Paul Shuttleworth on his afternoon show -  as part of his 'Ask=
an Expert' slot.  <br>
Paul invites different experts on to his show to chat about their area of=
expertise - in our case books.  <br>
It's been a great opportunity to give a 'Shout-Out' for books we love.<br>
<br>
<strong>Recent recommendations have been:</strong><br>
<br>
<strong>Darwin's Dragons by Linsday Galvin</strong> - an epic adventure st=
ory=2C rooted in natural history with characters inspired by real-life peo=
ple.  It is full of wonder and imagination - a great blend of factual=
events with exciting fiction.<br>
<br>
<strong>Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro</strong>:<br>
A stunning speculative novel that explores AI technology from the perspect=
ive of the AI=2C Klara.  She is highly intelligent with incredible po=
wers of observation that allow her to quickly assimilate the traits and ch=
aracteristics of the family she lives with and other people she meets.&nbs=
p; For all Klara=E2=80=99s technological advantages=2C nothing prepares he=
r for the vagaries of the human heart and the wiley nature of the people s=
he so loyally seeks to help.  Klara teaches us about the importance o=
f hope when all else seems lost and through her eyes we reflect on how we=
live now and what it means to be human.  Full of literary nourishmen=
t and subtltety=E2=80=99.<br>

Our Kids Book of the Month for April is 'Weirdo' by the fabulo=
us and highly acclaimed couple=2C Zadie Smith and Nick Laird.<br>
<br>
'Meet Maud: a guinea pig who inexplicably wears a judo suit - and not ever=
yone understands or approves. When Maud is thrown into a new and confusing=
situation=2C it takes brave decisions and serendipitous encounters for he=
r to find her place and embrace her individuality.<br>
<br>
The charming characters of Magenta Fox=2C whose work is evocative of Raymo=
nd Briggs and Janet Ahlberg=2C perfectly offset Zadie and Nick's warm=2C w=
ry prose.<br>
<br>
<em>Weirdo</em> is an endearing story about the quiet power of being=
different by two veteran writers=2C and introduces an exciting debut illu=
strator. Together they have created a picture book that adults and childre=
n alike will treasure.'<br>
<br>
Suitable from 3 years +<br>

We love the themes in this story and can't wait to get our copies to displ=
