Dear Friends

I doubt if many of you failed to be caught up with the Olympic excitement. I have to confess at not being too interested but thought I’d watch the opening cere-mony and that was it, I waited with baited breath for every medal. What was it that cap-tured so many people, was it the spectacle, was it our medal winning, was it the marvel that we could put together such an event? I think most probably was a combination of all those things, we heard much about national pride but I like to think our reactions can be summed up by this quote.

“The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning but taking part; the essential thing in life is not conquering but fighting well.” - Pierre de Coubertin (primarily responsi-

ble for the revival of the Olympic Games in 1894)

What I enjoyed most about the Olym-pic games was the fact that everyone appeared so happy, we saw images of laughing security people, dancing police officers, smiling and helpful vol-unteers, that in itself was so uplifting.

It’s amazing how we can feel our spirits lift when we receive a smile from someone, I suppose it’s the fact that we are recognized and valued as another hu-man being, as one of God’s children.

I am sure that God smiles at us all the time but unfortunately we often fail to see or even realize that, if we do we too would smile, we would feel our spirits lift and we would want to share that happiness with others as it’s so infectious. When the excitement and joy of the Olympics is over it will be sad if we lost those happy feelings, if we slip back into frowns rather than smiles. So perhaps we should try really hard to keep a smile on our faces as we are continually loved by God and that’s worth a smile.

Every blessing, Rev Cate

THE WEDNESDAY CLUB

The rain held off and, although not actually sunny, it was a very nice afternoon at Kia-ora Gardens. We agreed what a good venue it is and their cream tea is to be highly recommended! Thank you to the friends who supported us on this outing. Another visit in the Spring will probably be arranged.

Next month, due to circumstances beyond my control, I have had to change the pro-gramme. Our visit to Clarks Village will now take place in October and not September!

So our next meeting will be on Wednesday 12th September 2012 from 2.30 pm in the Parish Hall.

Not sure yet what will be arranged – but I will think of something!! So please come along and join us if only for the pleasant company, a chat and a cuppa.

Look forward to seeing you. Joy Morgan

COFFEE MORNING

We were blessed with a beautiful sunny day for the Coffee Morning in

July when Steve and Sandra Ford welcomed us into their lovely garden

with their usual generous hospitality. Very many thanks to them for

their efforts.

It is so kind, and I am very grateful to Marion Edwards for stepping in

to host the next coffee morning which will be held on Wednesday 26th

September at The Old Vicarage. at the usual time of 11 a.m. where once again all may

be assured of a warm welcome.

The P.C.C. are also most grateful to all our generous hosts and to those who support us

as all contributions go to Church Funds.

If you would like more information about the coffee mornings, or would like a lift

please give me a ring on 841828. We would love to see some new faces along with our

usual friendly group, so please do come along for an informal get-together.

Rob & Becky—Bristol Half Marathon

On September 30th, Rob and Becky Gammon are aiming to com-plete the Bristol Half Marathon and are hoping to raise money

for The Jennifer Trust for Spinal Muscular Atrophy.

Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is an inherited neuromuscular condition that very specifically affects nerve cells in the spinal cord called lower motor neurons In SMA, the lower motor neurons degenerate, impairing the link between the

brain and muscles. These muscles can no longer be excited, which causes them to atrophy, or wither, due to inactivity. The motor neurons mainly affected in SMA are

those which enable walking, crawling, arm and hand movement, head and neck move-ment, and swallowing. The muscles used in breathing can also be affected leading to breathing complications. The brain and sensory nerves, which allow us to feel sensation

such as temperature and touch, remain relatively unaffected in SMA. For more informa-tion, go to www.jtsma.org.uk

Many of you will know Joyce and Peter Cocker, who sadly lost their 18 week old grand-

son, Fergus, to a rare type of Spinal Muscular Atrophy with breathing difficulties (SMARD) 7 years ago. Since then many of Fergus’ family and friends have been in-volved in numerous fundraising projects to raise money to support other families in

similar situations as well as to help fund research into this genetic disease. We would like to join them in their aim to raise £50,000.00, the total currently stands

at £43186.44.

If you would like to support us in our run donations can be made online through Fer-

gus’ page at www.jtmsma.org. uk/Fergus, or please feel free to drop a donation through our door.

Many thanks, Rob and Becky Gammon

PAYHEMBURY PROVISIONS—NEWS

Many of you will already know that our

shop manager, James Carpenter, will be

resigning from the end of September. The

committee is therefore requesting the

whole village pull together to secure a successful and thriving shop for the fu-

ture as we endeavour to manage the shop ourselves in the short term. We are

committed to bringing together the ideas, suggestions and skills of those in our

community. Please do not hesitate to get in touch with any committee member or

leave a note in the shop diary behind the counter if you can help in any way.

NEW FRUIT AND VEG SUPPLIER

Payhembury Provisions are pleased to announce a

new supplier for fruit and vegetables which should

help ensure the freshest quality, locally grown where

possible and competitive prices. Remember, too,

that if you are a keen gardener we also operate a

‘crop for the shop’ system whereby you can donate

any surplus crop to the shop which is then sold for a

token amount per kilo.

VOLUNTEERS

THANK you to our dedicated team of volunteers who have

helped fill the spaces in the rota over the holiday period. Sep-

tember is also a popular holiday month for those without

school aged children so as always we welcome those who can do

an extra session or start volunteering with us. Thank you also

to the youngsters who help as part of their Duke of Edinburgh

Award or Community Volunteering Award. We value every-

one’s help so please fit us into your weekly routine - an hour a

week makes all the difference!

DO YOU HAVE ACCOUNTING SKILLS?

We need a volunteer who can occasionally check that our excellent finance lady,

Annette, who keeps all our books and monies in order, is doing things correctly.

She may need a little help at times (eg end of year), but otherwise it would not

take up much time at all—we are all busy people, but please think about whether

you could help out.

For any questions or to offer your help, please contact Annette on 841549 or the

shop on 841856

Nature Notes Observations from August

Hello everyone

In the middle of July, during a rare dry spell, there were quite a lot of birds about, particularly this year's young birds. One bril-liant youngster is still flying around the village, feeding on ants in the short grass---yes, the green woodpecker! What an exotic looking bird he is---green, red and a splash of yellow in his tail.

On a walk round Upton, there was a sparrow hawk, a kestrel and a buzzard all in the sky at the same time, in the bright sunshine---super! At Upton, I made a mental note of each species I saw. There were house sparrows, starlings, wood pigeons, col-lared doves, martins, swallows and a song thrush. Then a loud splash woke me up---I had disturbed a mallard in the stream---he was playing with the tame farmyard

ducks.

At Yellingham, I saw lots of swallows feeding low in the field with the Jacobs sheep. A spotted flycatcher nearby---very few of these birds this year. A heron at the pools. More butterflies about, including red admiral, peacock and small tortoiseshells.

Lat, but not least, two green woodies in the garden, one of them taking a bird bath! Then, two nuthatches appeared---the first I've seen this year.

Churchyard Cleanup—and notices from Babs Leach

This will be on Sat 15th Sept at 10.00am.

Thank you to everyone who has helped over the past few months, the churchyard has looked good all Summer, considering the grass has grown continuously with all the wet weather.

Please come along if you are able to lend a hand. Babs Leach

This month, Girls' Night Out will be held on Tuesday 18th Sept from 8pm at the Six Bells. All girls, all ages, always welcome to join us for a drink and a chat. If you haven’t been before come along & get to know people in your com-munity a little better. Be sure of a warm welcome.

If you would like any information about Girls' Night, please telephone Maryanne on 01404 851 234 or Samantha on 01404 841638.

Following TVCT’s AGM on Thursday 13th

September in Payhembury Parish Hall, there

will be a presentation of video and photos from

the site-specific production ‘Leyhill’ which

took place in April this year. John Somers will

also present the next project, an inter-

generational production which will be devel-

oped through co-operative work between young

people and older people in the community. The

aim is to spend time exploring life in the period

1930 -1950 when the older people were young.

The group will then devise key scenes which

capture the essence of that period and these

scenes will mainly be played by the young peo-

ple. Following that, the group will research

how life might be in the period 2070/2090 – the

projected old-age of the youngsters - and, in a

similar process; the group will devise scenes

which will be played predominantly by the

older people. The scenes will be themed so

topics such as ‘agriculture’, ‘family life’,

‘health care’, ‘education’, ‘transport’,

‘entertainment’ and ‘communications’ will lead

to paired, eight-minute performances with

around 150 years between them – say, farming

in 1935 and farming in 2085. Considerable

research will be involved as well as interesting

technical challenges in representing the world

of 2090. We expect that ‘experts’ will also

speak about these topics and help to develop

the stories, so we are keen to involve farmers,

doctors, teachers, telecommunications workers

etc.

Please contact John Somers at

j.w.somers@ex.ac.uk or 01884 277390 if you

want to know more or discuss things. And,

better still, please come to the meeting at

8.00pm when essential AGM business will end

and the other elements described above will

begin.

CLARET’S CORNER by our postie Marty

What a brilliant start to the season, we went to TURF MOOR to see the Clarets at home to

BOLTON WANDERERS who are managed by our ex manager—who left us in the lurch while

we were in the premier league, he had a very hostile reception. It was really pleasing to outplay

them and win 2-0 !!

If you are out and about in the Payhembury area look out for the THREE MUSKETEERS riding

their buggies around the area wearing their hi-vis jackets, namely John L, Douglas D and now

Walter J has joined them to make up the trio, it`s really good to see!

The school holidays are coming to an end so it will be good to see the school buzzing again.

See you around the village and UP THE CLARETS ! MARTY.

Christian Aid

Following our circulation of Christian Aid envelopes with the Par-ish Paper, the total collection was £75.63. This amount has now been transferred to Christian Aid. With many thanks to all who donated towards this good cause. Christine Thair, Church Gift Aid Secretary

Gardening with Angus—August

I must apologise for missing the deadline for entry last month . My script was typed up, but I was undergoing surgery on my

hand the day before, and “forgot” to send it in. Mea culpa!

What a bizarre season this has been, some plants have done

very well, and others a failure. This is the first year in forty years gardening that I have failed to grow cantaloupe melons under cloche!

What a battle against nature: slugs, moles, slugs, rabbits, slugs, pigeons, and more slugs. I have used as many organic remedies as possible, but have resorted to more severe chemicals in desperation. Life is just too complicated to go out at night with a

torch and pick up slugs as has been recommended, anyhow in my experience it is the little black ones which seem to work just below the surface which are the worst offenders.

We have been cleaning the conservatory glass with Jeyes Fluid Patio cleaner with great success and spraying the court-

yard with traditional Jeyes Fluid for the moss ( much less smelly than it used to be). We are still cutting back some of the exuberant growth of herbaceous plants and early flower-

ing shrubs. We have pruned the summer raspberries and black currants, enabling air and sun (?) to promote ripening of the fruit buds for next year. We are also summer pruning the soft first year growth of apples and pears, down to the base of this year’s

growth (one or two nodes).

In the vegetable garden there is still time to sow some vegetables whilst the soil is still

warm and moist. I have sown some spring onions, autumn lettuce and spinach. Later this month I shall sow lettuce for overwintering under cloche to provide the very useful crop in April and May. The old fash-

ioned variety “May Queen” seems very reliable Look out for special offers on seed packets. Some outlets are offering 25%- 50% reductions. With seeds coming in foil packets nowadays

their germination prospects are much better.

COUNCIL TAX SUPPORT

Council Tax Benefit is a reduction on Council Tax for eligible people, for example

those on low income or with a disabled person living in the house. From April of

next year, the benefit will be renamed Council Tax Support and will become the

responsibility of the District Council instead of the government.

Unfortunately, the Council will have £1m less to help pay for this and has therefore

produced a consultation document allowing people to comment on how they feel

funds should be raised to pay for the support. It could be expensive in East Devon

because so many people retire here, so the proportion of working people to non-

working is a lot lower than in other areas of the country. Pensioners will not be af-

fected by any changes.

If you would like to see the consultation document, it is on-line at

www.eastdevon.gov.uk/ctsupport or forms are available in Payhembury Provisions.

The consultation runs until 1st Oct and there are road shows during Sept if you

would like to find out more:

Honiton (Job Centre Tues Sept 18, 1pm - 4pm)

EDDC offices, Sidmouth (Thurs Sept 13, 1– 4pm)

The next Parish Council Meeting will be held on: Wednesday 12th September

7.30pm in the Parish Hall. All welcome

Welcome to the sec-ond newsletter about the Devon Stage of The Tour of Britain 2012. Cycling fever has gripped the UK.

With Bradley Wiggins winning Le Tour De France and the Olympic Time Trial, plus Team GB's success in the velodrome, the amount of interest and excitement surrounding cycling has exploded. As the excitement builds, here's the latest news from the Devon Stage of The Tour of Britain:

For full information on this stage of the tour, including ETA’s, routes & maps etc go to http://www.devontourofbritain.co.uk/

Race and transport updates on the day - We will be sending out race and transport updates via Twitter. So, if you haven't done so already, follow us on Twitter @SWTourofBritain and on Facebook.

Devon Historic Churches Day

Saturday 8th September

If you fancy a day visiting local churches, well you're in luck, as on the 8th Sept. most churches in our area will be open.

To get involved either cycling, walking or any other mode of transport you choose, contact Lesley Elford on 851 356.

Our aim is to raise money for repairs to our churches in the local area. We do this through sponsorship /donations from people taking part. Many churches offer refreshments, which are much needed if you have chosen to cycle!

All money raised is sent to the Trust, with 50% of this sent back to our own church. It would make a great family day out,

FENITON AND PAYHEMBURY

MOTHERS’ UNION

Following the summer break, our next meeting is on Wed 19th Sept, 2.15pm at the Parish Hall in Payhembury, when Mrs Julia Beaman will be speaking on “God’s world, our world.”

We look forward to sharing time together then.

Payhembury Weather www.payhembury-weather.co.uk

Rainfall: The floods on 7th July with 37mm falling in one day resulted in July’s rainfall being

twice the normal average and August is continuing this wet theme. Not in the figures below

but 26mm fell on 15 August in one morning just in time for Beautiful Days! so August will be

another very wet month. The Honiton area experienced a thunderstorm on the evening of 11

August.

Temperatures: It has continued to be warmer than average but no really long hot periods so it

doesn’t feel as if we have had a summer. The south east of England appears to be getting it

much warmer than here.

Sunshine: July was sunnier than June but May is still easily the sunniest month this year.

July’s sunshine was similar to last year.

Weather elsewhere: The drought and record breaking warm temperatures in the S.E. USA

continues with higher food prices likely to affect us all. In the Arctic the sea ice extent during

the first two weeks of August continue to track below the 2007 record low daily ice extents

with about five weeks still remaining in the melt season.

Hello friends, did you know you are not the only

ones who have been enjoying the fun and games of the Olympics, we mice have had our own Olympics, we invited in our friends the field mice and a few

other little creatures and we have had fun and games ourselves. Not that any of us are very good but we all

enjoyed playing together and cheering on our teams, it’s such fun to take part.

Well we were having fun and games when we were-n’t busy clearing up after the activities in church,

two lovely weddings, Erika and Simon Kittow who managed to dodge the rain drops and wow what lovely singing and then Joanna and James Conlan. Oh we love a wedding, its so lovely seeing everyone dressed up and

looking so happy and then we can munch through the flowers afterwards. We also had a lovely baptism of little Peter Grim who came all the way back from Singapore (not sure where that is) for his baptism and what a very smart chap he was and obviously

very proud as well.

We have missed having the noise and chatter of the children from school but we know

that they will be back very soon, hurray! What have we got to look forward to I won-der, harvest is not that far away so that should be fun.

Our games have made us think we need some more exercise so Parchina and I are go-

ing to go for a run around the church every morning when we wake up , so I wonder if you will spot us!

Have fun, your friend Parchie.

SAT 22ND SEPT, 10am to noon ………… to get advice from professionals involves (solicitor, undertaker, vicar etc) and ask any questions.
