Definitive Map Review Consultation - As part of the footpath review for Combe Raleigh parish, Cllr Brake signed a letter to be sent to the Definitive Map Review Officer at DCC, Mr Nick Steenman-Clark, giving Luppitt Parish Council’s response to proposed changes and additions to 4 footpaths which cross from Luppitt into Combe Raleigh. His letter pointed out that many of the historic footpaths were for private use only by labourers going to work on farms and children going to school. Luppitt parish already has a large number of footpaths in addition to 640 acres of common land which is registered as Open Access land. These footpaths are used infrequently by members of the public and, therefore, the Parish Council sees no further need for additional public footpaths.
Later in 2014 or 2015 Devon County Council will be reviewing the claims for new footpaths across Luppitt parish. In advance of this Cllr Brake has obtained a copy of a map showing all the claimed public footpaths in Luppitt parish which he will upload to the website www.luppitt.com.

A FASCINATING INSIGHT INTO LIFE INSIDE A HIVE
An interview with Pearl Pulman by Christine Ryder
Pearl Pulman grew up with honey bees. In fact, she was almost born
amongst them – when her mother went into labour, she was tending her
bees! When she was young, Pearl had no ambitions to become a bee
keeper, but after her father died, her mother couldn’t cope with the heavy
work of tending the hives, so Pearl and her husband volunteered to take
over. And so began Pearl’s long association with these fascinating creatures.
Inside the hive is an intelligent and well structured community. There can
only be one queen – and in the bee world, no one is born to be Queen – the
bee community feeds one of the young bees a special diet which makes it
develop the large, elongated body of a Queen Bee.
Life as a bee is no honeypot! The Queen spends her entire life producing
eggs – and in high season that could be 2000 to 3000 eggs a day. The Drone
bee – who mates with the Queen – dies after fertilizing her. This is no loss to
the Queen – she needs fertilizing only once after which she produces
fertilized eggs for the rest of her life.
The worker bees have the hardest life. In fact, according to Pearl, they often
work themselves to death in one season. Every day, the worker bees will
cover many miles in search of nector and pollen which they store in the sacks
behind their legs and then return it to the hives where they produce the
honey which feeds the Queen and her constant brood of baby bees. A good
example of the amount of food they have to produce is the quantity of sugar
that has to be put into each hive in the Autumn after the honey has been
harvested. Pearl puts at least 20lbs of sugar syrup into each hive to help the
bees survive the winter.
Instinctively, the worker bee community within the hive divides into groups
performing major tasks. A group of them will remain inside the hive to feed
and tend the Queen and the baby bees when they hatch whilst the rest of
the worker army undertake the work of gathering pollen and making honey.
13
Recent years have brought prolific virus problems which threatened to
decimate the bee population. ‘I nearly gave up a few years ago, we lost that
many bees’ comments Pearl. Battling mainly with the deadly Varroa virus,
Pearl lost many of her hives, but the last two years have seen a resurgence in
her bee community and she has just started a new hive to accommodate the
overflow swarm of bees from her main hive. The swarm will not occupy the
new hive immediately. They send an advance party of ‘scouts’ to check out
the area. If the advance party think it is a suitable new home, they will
vigorously fan their wings, producing a humming noise which the rest of the
swarm will understand as the green light to enter. But first of all they have
to encourage the Queen to enter – once she is in, the whole swarm follows
and a new honey bee community is born.
Pearl says she is very lucky to have a quite docile community of bees. Yes,
bee communities can have personalities and some can be quite aggressive.
This year has been a record one for honey production – with Pearl’s main
hive producing an amazing 160 lb of honey which she has just finished
processing and packing. Pearl can tell, from the colour of the honey, what
the main pollen contributor has been and this year, she is sure her bees have
majored on white clover because her honey is quite pale and delicate.
Honey is featured in the first of
our monthly food features (see
page 14) along with other
seasonal ideas for using the
excellent Autumn harvest bounty
that we have enjoyed as a result
of our lovely summer.
Pearl in all her gear.

Making the most of the Autumn harvest It has been a wonderful year for growing fruit and veg – and for honey production (see our article on Pearl Pulman’s bees). In our household, we eat very little jam, so I have to be more inventive with ways to preserve my harvest. One of my favourites is to bottle apples and pears for use through the winter in fruit pies and flans. The process is simple. Peel, core and quarter the fruit and put in a bowl of lightly salted water (to stop it turning brown) while you prepare your syrup. Then, over medium heat, combine 175g of sugar for every 600ml of water and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Then bring the syrup up to boiling point and boil for one minute. (Thinking back to Pearl and her bumper honey harvest – substituting honey for some of the sugar produces a fantastic flavour as the fruit marinates in the honey flavoured syrup). Take the fruit out of the salted water and pack tightly into heat proof jars (Kilner jars are by far the best). Pour over the hot syrup, seal the jars, then put them into pans big enough to immerse them totally in water. A word of caution – they must sit on a trivet or a tea towel otherwise the jars could crack if in contact with the bottom of the pan. Fill the pan with water so it comes right up to the top of the jars. Then bring the water up to simmer point (88C) and hold at that temperature for 30 mins. Lift your jars out carefully using heat proof gloves because they will be very hot. Once they are cool, store them in a cool, dark place and they will provide you with delicious fruit through the winter months. Raspberries, blackberries and blackcurrants can be used to make delicious fruit vinegars – a brilliant alternative to ordinary vinegar in salad dressings, as an alternative to wine in savoury sauces, or mixed with honey and heated they produce a wonderfully different sauce for ice cream or fruit dishes. All you have to do is mix 1 kilo of fruit with 600 ml of wine or cider vinegar, crush the fruit with a fork so the mixture is flooded with colour, then cover it and leave it for 5 days to infuse, giving it a stir every day. Then strain the mixture through a jelly bag or muslin (you can give it a bit of a squeeze to release more of the liquid from the fruit. Put your strained liquid into a pan and add 15 g of sugar for every 100 ml of liquid. Slowly bring to the boil so that the sugar melts, then boil without stirring for 5 – 6 minutes. Allow the mixture to cool and then bottle it. With tomatoes, there are so many options like Chilli Jam, tomato puree, but my favourite is to make my own tomato ketchup – much healthier than shop bought versions. To intensify the tomato flavour, I firstly halve my tomatoes, drizzle them with a tiny bit of olive oil and a little drizzle of honey, add several sprigs of herbs (rosemary, basil and thyme from the garden), plus salt and pepper, then slow roast them in a medium hot oven for about 50 minutes until
15
they are caramelizing around the edges and looking slightly shrunken. Then I blitz them – with their roasting juices - in a food processor to produce a pulp. Measure the pulp and for every litre, add 150ml of red wine vinegar, 50ml of lemon juice, a heaped teaspoon of chopped fresh ginger, two tablespoons of chopped celery, one finely chopped red onion, 100g of demerara sugar, a heaped teaspoon of chopped garlic, and a teaspoon of mustard powder. Bring the whole lot gradually to boiling point, stirring to make sure the sugar has dissolved, then simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 30 minutes until the mixture has thickened and the flavour is deliciously concentrated. For perfection, then you should rub the mixture through a sieve to remove any lumps of vegetable or tough tomato skins before sealing in jars. If you don’t mind your ketchup being a bit rustic, you can just give the mixture another blitz in a processor before packing it away. It improves with age so leave it for about a month before you use it. P.S. Sadly my prediction that the time limit would scupper my chances in the Devon Life cooking competition did come true and I will not be competing in the final. But a very interesting experience all the same. Christine Ryder

(This is one response to the interesting article on place names last
month. Another is on page 21. - LAD)
Dear Sirs
I read with interest the article on place names in the most recent issue of the
Packet. My wife and I lived in Charlton Mackrell [note the correct modern
spelling] for 25 years before moving to Luppitt 7 years ago and still own
property in the village.
The name Charlton is derived from the Saxon “Cherletone” which means the
settlement or farmstead of the freemen [peasants]. The original settlement
is Roman in origin being located adjacent to the Fosse Way and is recorded in
the Domesday book. It was split into two settlements in the 12 century, West
Charlton and East Charlton, which subsequently became Charlton Mackrell
and Charlton Adam with the second names derived from landowners in the
two settlements, John Mackerel [note the original spelling] in West Charlton
and the FitzAdam family in East Charlton.
Charlton Mackrell has a number of associations with famous people, the
founder of All Souls College Oxford was a vicar in the village, one of the sig-
natories, a staunch supporter of Oliver Cromwell, on the execution order for
Charles I came from the village and Henry Adams, a local tenant farmer who
sailed to America with his family in 1633, was the forefather of no less than 3
Presidents of the United States, John Adams [the second President, first am-
bassador to the United Kingdom, founder of the US Navy and along with
George Washington the author of the Constitution], John Quincy Adams and
Calvin Coolidge, whilst Millard Filmore and William Taft were descendants of
Edith Adams [Henry’s wife] sister.

GARDEN JOTTINGS
by D.Street
ONE DAY recently we walked up to the top road past the s-bends. All along the
lane there were two long black lines, black tyre marks. Had a vehicle skidded all the
way? Not much rubber left on those wheels. Half of it's on the road.
But the weirdest thing about them was the sudden jump, a sudden discontinuity
maths people call it, when the graphs they're always drawing of their i's and pi's sud-
denly disappear into a black hole. The strange lines on the road suddenly jumped
sideways several inches - sorry, centimetres, I forgot. The driver must have got out
and pushed the vehicle sideways. Not very likely really. But very odd. Surely not an
unearthly tractor from the fourth dimension chugging along Luppitt lanes in the mid-
night hours?
One of the younger locals - myself a stranger from the souf-east, I think I can
say that, said it was a mystery to her as well. All she could say, it wasn't one of An-
drew Tuckers vehicles. So it was all very peculiar. I expect the black lines are still
there, if the rain hasn't washed them off by now.
I expect too you're beginning to wonder what all this has to do with Garden Jot-
tings. Well, to be honest, I don't know either. So I'd better get back down to earth,
and write about Agapanthus again, as we've had such a good year for them.
When I first got into growing plants - and that's a few years ago now - Agapan-
thus was not a common plant to have in your garden. I remember seeing them
round the Palm House at Kew. Nowadays they're all over the place - blue, dark
blue, violet blue, mottled blue, pale blue, white, even grey - but so far not yellow
or red. Whatever colour, whether they're hardy or tender, upright flowers or droopy
flowers - what they all need in our normally cloudy climate is all the sunshine they
can get. So don't moan about your agapanthus not flowering, if you've got it in a
shady spot or under a tree.
In countries with little or no winter frost and plenty of rain in the summer aga-
panthus can be a weed. I hear they're so ordinary in New Zealand they just called
Aggies. Originally they came from South Africa, so someone must have invented
the name, from anthos flower and agape a Christian word for love.
Your flower of love or aggy should have done well this year and may well have
set seed. Ripe seed is black. It is best sown immediately, especially the tender ever-
green types.
In Britain winter frost usually kills off the evergreen leaves, but provided the
roots are protected from freezing with a thick layer of fallen leaves or in some other
way, new growth will start again in late spring, and flower buds later on.
Finally I mention that the National Collection is held in Devon by Richard Fulcher
You do need an appointment. You can also buy named varieties from him.
Remember in about a month's time get any tender agapanthus protected.

Unusual Place Names
Thank you DS for the interesting article about place names last month. I have been interested in this ever since my school- teacher told us that all place names have a meaning. I grew up in a village by the Thames called Bourne End. I looked up the word ‘bourne’ and found it meant a river or stream. I knew that the Thames didn’t end there so I looked on a map and found a small stream that ran into the Thames and gave the village its name.
You mentioned Newton Poppleford in your musings. This is named for the pebbles - corrupted over time into popple – which cover a large area from the village across Woodbury Common. The pebbles on this inland heathland are a strange relic from the Triassic period around 200 million years ago when this was part of an ancient seabed.
Some of the best names are in Dorset. From the Latin there are suffixes such as at Minterne Magna and Minterne Parva - Great and Lesser - to the fancifully named Toller Porcorum and Toller Fratrum. Toller was the name of the river (now called the Hooke) and unsurprisingly Porcorum refers to pigs. Fratrum means brothers or brethren and is thought to refer to the Knights Hospitallers who once owned the manor.
Then there are the downright silly Droop and Piddletrenthide and, careful how you say it, Fartown. My favourite though has to be Ryme Intrinseca from Ryme meaning a border and Intrinseca meaning within. A rather dull meaning but a beautiful name for a village …. Almost as good as Luppitt!

Blackdown Hills Transition Group: Building local resilience Global Day of Action on Climate Change is due to take place and will have passed by the time you read this article, on 21st Sept 2014. Aimed to coincide with the World Leaders' Climate Summit in New York a march organised in New York aims to be the biggest climate demonstration the US has ever seen, and over 900 solidarity events are planned globally on the same week-end. Here in the UK many different peoples and organisations are marching from Temple Station in London to Parliament Square. One of the many groups supporting the day is National Federation of WI (NFWI) with their campaign “For the Love of….” Too many things that we love could be changed forever, such as bees and their honey, coffee and chocolate whose production is threatened by rising temperatures, to the farms that flooded earlier this year. The NFWI are calling on Prime Minister David Cameron to show leadership by outlining the UK’s commitment to tackling climate change in the UN talks on 21st September. We’ll update you as to whether the UN talks and the local actions about Cli-mate Change have any impact other than raising awareness. All positive ac-tions we can take are important from recycling to re-using our precious re-sources. Research suggests we are using three times more resources from this planet earth than it has to support us. So every little part we all can con-tribute can help especially keeping a positive outlook. Don’t forget our apple days coming up in October : Sun 12th at Otterhead Lodge, Culmhead, TA3 7EE midday to 4pm Sat 18th Stentwood Farm, Dunkeswell, EX14 4RW 11 (not 10) to 4pm Sun 19th Stentwood Farm, Dunkeswell, EX14 4RW 11 (not 10) to 4pm The Apple days are also generously supported by Blackdown Hills AONB and Vigo the local Dunkeswell firm trading in juicing equipment. Our next Transition Meeting will be being held in the Candlelight Pub, Bishop-wood TA20 3RS on Tuesday 7th October start at 7.30pm. If you fancy meeting others with a concern for local resilience to meet the challenges of climate change and energy depletion come along and join in or contact us via the website www.blackdownhillstransition.org Jim Rogan

We started our Autumn session with a service in Upottery Church. It was good to worship together and catch up with members from different villages.
On October 2nd there is an Archdeaconry ‘Quiet Morning’ in Kenn Church, which will be led by Rev J Williams. It will start at 10:30 am, and coffee will be served from 10 am.
We are having an open meeting to which all are invited in the Sidmouth Arms, Upottery on October 15th at 2:30 pm. Rev Debbie Starling, the Diocesan Disability Advisor, is coming to talk to us on the topic “Made in his Image”. She has a wealth of experience in this area, from both a personal and professional standpoint. She will also be showing a DVD and playing her guitar.
So that I can let the pub know for approximately how many to provide tea & cake, please could visitors let me know if they are likely to be coming, before 30th September (as I go on holiday 1st October). After that date, please could you ring Margaret Young on 01404 43495.

\Dear Friends
This October will see many Harvest Thanksgivings taking place in our churches (if they have not already taken place by then!) The churches will therefore, hopefully, be decorated with all the things of the earth that celebrate Harvest: fruit and vegetables, flowers and plants. Afterwards there may be a supper or some other festal gathering.
Harvest is a time to take stock of everything around us – all the good things in our lives – and to give our heartfelt thanks and praise to God the giver. As the Churches will be decorated with produce from the land, we will also be receiving gifts of food which will be given again (I hope) for the Honiton Foodbank. A collecting box is in every church.
Perhaps in this busy and troubled world, we would do well to remember those who are in a less fortunate position than ourselves, and perhaps in sharing generously what we have, we can reach out in praise to those around us. For it is in praising that we encounter the living presence of Christ; it is in sharing this praise of God that we make His name known to those who do not know Him, and reveal that our God is the god of love and joy, of life and fulfilment.
There is also a new venture being introduced in our Mission Community: we are starting a special service for healing on the fourth Saturday of the month at 11am. This will be a regular service, in St Nicholas Dunkeswell to begin
with, but depending upon the response, we shall see if other member churches would also like to take part, and even host it in their own church building.
I can also reveal that the special service we held as a Mission Community on 31st August for those persecuted Christians and refugees from Iraq and Syria raised £450 which has been sent off to Christian Aid. Thank you to all who
contributed. Please continue to pray for our brothers and sisters still being persecuted because of the faith in Christ in these countries.
Yours in thanks and praise
Rik the Vic

WW1 Centenary
Act of Remembrance
Sunday, 9 November
10:50 am
at the Luppitt War Memorial
To mark the centenary of the outbreak of WW1, there will be a
brief memorial ceremony at the War Memorial
The ceremony will include the opportunity for local organisations and
individuals to lay wreaths or to plant a simple wooden cross by the
memorial. The names of Luppitt’s fallen will be read out. The two minutes’
silence will be observed, started and concluded by the playing of the
Last Post and the Reveille.
The ceremony will include a hymn and prayer, the words by Laurence
Binyon 1914: ‘They shall grow not old as we that are left grow old…’,
and the Kohima Epitaph.
Local organisations will be most welcome to lay a wreath. If you wish to do
so, please inform the Parish Council Secretary or one of the churchwardens.
Wreaths are available and can be ordered online from the Royal British
Legion Shop.
