Dear Friends,
Starting to write my letter to you this month, I am in a quandary, do I dwell on the constant discussions on radio and TV about what is truth, or fake news and alternative facts? All of these, I have to say, trouble me and I am sure like most of you, wish we could have less of it. Perhaps though I should focus on the positive, spring is on its way! It is lovely to see the array of spring flowers pushing through the muddy hedges, fields and gardens. There are the whites and green of snowdrop dancing in the breeze, the golden yellow of daffodils bursting from their green stalks and even a few yellow, blue and white crocuses making their debut. Isn’t God’s creation amazing? Through all the ups and downs of life, through massive political debate and discord, the seasons roll on by as ever heralded by a change in the flora we see around us. I find that rather reassuring; the flowers don’t debate whether they will appear they just do and, in doing so, give those of us who stop and stare pleasure or do we just take them for granted? There is a children’s song, “Think of a World without any Flowers” which I love to hear the children sing, but what if we had no flowers? Can you imagine a life without flowers, even in the most war torn of places small flowers can be seen popping their heads through rubble and devastation, bringing a little hope into desperate situations. The pace of nature cannot be contained; God’s recreating power is evident. It is this recreating power which I believe is important for us to hold onto in these rather grey times, for there is always somewhere a bloom bursting through bringing colour into our lives. That’s why spring is such a hopeful season, we come out of the gloom of winter see nature take on new life and it invigorates us. Just as the remembrance and celebration at Easter of Jesus rising from the darkness of the tomb reinvigorates Christians worldwide. So as we pass into spring let us be invigorated with the hope of a bright future for us all by looking at the new blooms in God’s creation.
Every blessing, Rev Cate

Coffee Morning WOW! What a splendid number came to the Coffee Morning in January. Alan and I were delighted to welcome everyone, thank you all for coming. Pat and Brian Salter have very kindly invited us to Upton Mead for the next Coffee Morning on Wednesday 15th March at the usual time of 11am., we we can be sure of another warm welcome from them. We very much look forward to meeting up again then. If anyone would like more information about the Coffee Mornings, or would appreciate a lift, please give me a call on 841828. Marjorie W
A Plea to Janet East Can I put in a plea to Janet East to start writing for the Parish Magazine again. I always looked forward to her contribution. It brought back memories of growing up on the farm but I also felt that it was a good introduction to the world around them for those who had arrived as new to country life - less challenging than The Archers! My fingers are crossed. Heather Wallace, Tuckmill Farm
W.I. February Meetings, Broadhembury
Do you remember those halcyon days when we and the world were young? Well and steady is the aim and the achievement of it becomes possible with the advice of a local expert, physiotherapist and Pilates teacher, Sue Holmes. We all determined to improve our muscle strength and balance, in order to avoid the surprisingly high risk of a fall. As we practised, you would have been forgiven for mistaking us for the SAS on their training re-gime… or very nearly! Late in the month, we heard Professor Robert Gleave speaking on Understanding Religious Tensions in the Middle East. So in the WI, we nourish both body and mind and, should you like to join us, you’ll be most welcome. Please contact Angie
Carr, 841862, or Julie Ashcroft, 841189.
March Meetings: 14 March, 2.30pm, Memorial Hall, Broadhembury : Speaker Linda Wilson on “Not a bulb in sight….The gardens of Tuscany” and our annual Bulb Show

To all our friends in Payhembury, We would like to thank all our friends in Payhembury who have been there for us, through all the good, and not so good times, but more particularly the more recent times when our health hasn't been perhaps as it should have been. Douglas would like to give a special thanks to all the people who so kindly helped him on his way when he was out on his mobility buggy, whether it was when he had a flat tyre (on more than one occasion), got stuck in a rut or even tipping into a ditch. He'll miss his little chats and waving from afar, but most of all he says he will miss Payhembury more than Payhembury will miss him. Thank you to the whole of Payhembury for being there for us, we shall never forget you.
Douglas and Vera.

Potholes!
Please can you report potholes via this link: https://new.devon.gov.uk/roadsandtransport/report-a-problem The more people reporting the numerous potholes/craters (!) on our roads, the more likely it is that something will be done about them. Thank you.
Louise Scott, Payhembury Parish Clerk
Clarets’ Corner The CLARETS are sitting nicely in mid table in the premier league at the moment, I can’t believe we were knocked out of the FA CUP by non league Lincoln City but at least we can now concen-trate on the league. It’s sad to see Douglas and Vera Daymond leaving VICTORIA DAIRY FARM after all these years. One of the many memories I have goes back to the days when Doug-las was milking and I would walk into the kitchen when he was sitting down to a full English breakfast with Vera - agony when you’re hungry! I was in the Tale area recently, talking to Ken Chaplin (sometimes known as the mayor of Tale) and he said to me “Marty I`m going to a funeral at Talewater this afternoon”, so I asked whose funeral it was and he told me it was the famous old RED ROVER of JOHN SOMERS had finally bit the dust. But on a happy note John is now driving around in a very nice NISSAN. Finally congratulations to Fred and Beryl Worman of Higher Cheriton, who recent-ly celebrated their DIAMOND WEDDING ANNIVERSARY I was pleased to deliver their card from the QUEEN! See you around the village and UP THE CLARETS!
MARTY.
A big Thank You to all those kind people who sent me cards and get well wishes after my unexpected stay in hospital in January. It was very kind of you all. May I wish you all a very happy and healthy 2017.
Mary Fenner, Upton.

Payhembury Provisions This month we are very happy to say that we have been able to make two substantial donations. Firstly, we were invited by the Parish Council to make a contribution towards the cost of a new gate for the playing field which we hope will make life easier for mums and carers struggling with toddlers and buggies. Secondly, we are delighted to help with the cost of a new mower for the Tale Millers cricket club, how's that?! I'm sure everyone will realise that we are only able to make donations to enhance our village because, unlike most other community shops, apart from a couple of hours of accountancy help a month to oversee our book-keeping, we don't pay a salary to anyone. We are always very pleased to welcome new volunteers (especially cricket club members!) and for those who don't want to get behind the till or who just want to pop in from time to time when it suits them, there are plenty of jobs which you could help us with. Please get in touch with Anne Baxter 841345 or leave a message for her at the shop. We're always on the look out for local products and hope to introduce some new lines this month, so please keep an eye on our shelves for these as well as special gifts and flowers for Mothering Sunday. Prices seem to be increasing in all the supermarkets at the moment but at Payhembury Provisions we always try to give you great value for money; come in and have a look at our price comparison chart and you'll see how well we're doing.

Tale Cricket
This is the time of the year when the club gets organised for the new season- Jon is busy discussing fixtures with other clubs and we had an excellent pre-season meeting recently to discuss progress on our plans for 2017, the main points as follows:
A toilet team are currently well into the construction of a toilet/store to replace the existing cubicle. As far as I know this will be in full working order for the first game of the season.
We decided that the Ground Force Day (Sunday 2nd April) will now not end with a family BBQ, as planned. We will however plan a family event at the beginning of the season instead.
The club have received a very kind donation from Payhembury Provisions, for which we are very grateful. May thanks from the club!!
Bar Manager, Grant Clark, is currently organising a “Tour” to Bude, which will involve an overnight stay early on in the season.
And finally—as you will see elsewhere in this paper, the Ladies are getting organ-ised for the 2017 season—it sounds like there is loads of enthusiasm—good luck!
Another date for the diary is the club Open Day—4 June—which is a family event with an excellent menu, provided by Ed.
If you’d like to get involved, either as a player or social member, please let me know and we’ll get you signed up !!!
See you at Tuck Mill. Paul Hynam (07770 481774)
LADIES CRICKET - TALE STINGERS Several ladies have expressed an interest in playing cricket & a new team is being formed at Tale cricket club. Please contact if you'd like to hear more about playing or helping. Gina [email protected]

Parish Paper Deadline:
March 18th, 4pm
Please do try to get articles in on time.
If you really can’t make the deadline, please let us know in advance and
we’ll do our best to accommodate you.
SHOCKING NEWS—the defibrillator has arrived. The Parish Council has been successful in buying a defibrillator, thanks to grants from the Big Lottery Awards For All and Honiton Lions. This has been installed in Payhembury Provisions porch and will shortly be commissioned. Sudden death due to heart developing an abnormal rhythm is increasing. The only treatment is an electrical shock delivered by a defibrillator such as ours. This is very easy and safe to use with voice and visual instruction giv-en by the machine. You can do NO harm. At worst it might not work but you could save a life. Come and learn about using the defibrillator and what to do if somebody has a heart attack at the Defibrillator Awareness Evening, Thursday 9th March at 7pm in the Parish Hall. All welcome. If you have any questions, please contact me on 01404 850005. Tim Cox
Playing Field Gates As you all know, we have had a quote to renew the playing field gates at £2200.
The shop have kindly decided that they will donate £1000. Therefore we will need to raise another £1200.
The Parish Council would be glad of donations towards this. Please contact : [email protected] Or put a donation in an envelope and leave in the village shop. With many thanks,
Rob Leach

Nature Notes
Observations from February
On another lovely day, Margaret and I had booked a trip on the Stuart Line birdwatching boat, out of Exmouth and up the river Exe to Topsham. We saw all the usual birds one sees on the Exe in the Winter, including lots of avocets, mergansers and others. The high-light for me was seeing a pair of goosanders---lovely big ducks from the north and east. These birds don't often come as far south west as Devon, but the very cold weather further north had pushed them down here. Incidentally, we saw another pair on the Otter river,
A bird we see more of in the winter, in the garden, is the long tailed tit. We get them on most days, and they come in numbers, feeding on the nuts and seed. They are lovely little birds---black, white and a bit of pink, with, you guessed it, very long tails! On colder days, we see many more birds in the garden than on warmer days, including our regular tits, finches, sparrows and blackbirds. I put sliced apples out for the blackbirds, but they get
stolen by our furry friends, the squirrels!
Alan Jones – 841671 – [email protected]
Well, we've experienced a mix of weather recently, haven't we? Some beautiful days, but other rotten ones. On one of the former, I felt like stretching my legs, so I walked down to the River Tale, and on to Blue Anchor. Buzzards soaring high up in the blue sky, robins singing
and there were some deer in a field in the distance---two or three of them.

Parchie and Parchina
Hi Friends,
Oh Parchina and I are so happy spring is on its
way, that’s why we are dancing, and because
our birthdays are soon. Did you know Parchina
and I are twins so we have a great time
celebrating our birthdays? Mum usually
invites all the family around for tea and of course all our friends, there are
so many mice gathered we can’t have the party in church in case someone
hears us and we might get caught! Did you know that some people don’t like
mice living in their churches or even their houses? Guess what, Rev Cate is
one of those people who doesn’t like having mice in her house. We were so
surprised to hear her telling someone the other day about the mouse in her
house. We heard her say that a mouse kept visiting her; I expect it was one
of our field mice friends. Well she was getting cross about it and do you
know what she did? She put down a trap, how shocking! Anyway this mouse
was very clever and during the night would come and take the food out of
the trap very carefully and not get caught- hee hee, served Rev Cate right!!
Eventually he did get caught, but we were glad to hear that Rev Cate took it
carefully away from her house and let it go in a field. WE were very
relieved to hear that.
Back to our party: in 2 weeks time we will be celebrating our birthdays, this
year it’s fancy dress. I think I’m going to dress up as a pirate, did you know
there were mice on pirate ships? Parchina is not sure, she laughed and said
she might dress us as a ship’s cat! Whatever we decide to do, we know it’s
going to be great fun and a good celebration just like the lovely celebration
that took place in church this month for the Christening of Chester Kittow,
so many happy faces and we hope for lots of happy faces at our party too.
See you soon,
Parchie

Payhembury Weather www.payhembury-weather.co.uk Rainfall: My rain gauges are both out of action, so unable to report on rainfall this month. Temperatures: On average for January and so far in February it has been mild over 1 degC warmer than average. There was a short cold snap with a bitter easterly wind on 10-12 February. Weather elsewhere: Eastern England got some snow during the recent cold snap but we only had a few flakes in Payhembury. Gale-force winds battered France's southwestern Atlantic coast on Saturday 4 Feb, leaving more than a quarter of million homes without power. Winds reaching speeds of up to 92 miles per hour battered the coast. Down under Sydney has been experiencing heavy rainfall with some damage reported.
Current weather in Payhembury and a forecast can be viewed at www.payhembury-weather.co.uk Like me on Facebook and follow me on twitter at @sat_metman There probably won't be a weather report in March as I am away until 20th.

CAMPING Was that thunder? Within moments I was awake. The tent was suddenly lit by a blinding flash, followed seconds later by a deep ominous roar. Was it getting closer? I waited for the next flash and counted the few seconds before the erup-tion of sound. By a quick, half remembered calculation, I estimated that I was six miles away. I groped for my head torch; my watch said 5 a.m. I didn’t want to pack a wet tent and where there is thunder and lightning there will inevitably be rain, rain indeed in lavish waterproof penetrating proportions. We had, be-tween us and any hope of shelter, at least three miles to walk with heavy packs that would only get heavier as they became soaked. My wife was now stirring. She agreed, we should pack and go. I dragged on my waterproofs and exited our tiny backpacking tent. Too late, it was already raining. Not a deluge yet but in the inky blackness, with vivid flashes illuminating our environs in ghostly relief, I knew the deluge would come. I threw sleeping bag and sleeping mat hastily and inexpertly packed into my rucksack. The rain was now steadily increasing its intensity. No time to lose, it was imperative to get the tent down before it be-came so wet that it was impossible to carry. I was getting wet, very wet. The tent was becoming wet, very wet. Yet within, all was calm and dry and yes, above the sound of thunder, I could hear gentle even breathing.

As reported previously, the Writing Wall is now a space for creative writing. Here are three more entries in the category “Challenge”.
‘NOT LOOKING FORWARD’ The journey was quicker than expected. An 8.30am appointment re-quired factoring in the rush hour traffic but even so we arrived early at the hospital car park. The previous month there had been tests, the diagnosis was made and treatment started today. I don’t ‘do’ hospitals and even need to lie down for the annual flu jab. Was it the fear of white coats, the smell or the injection itself? It wasn’t always like this. At the age of six I loved my hospital stay for a squint operation. The children’s ward was overflowing so a bed was found in the elderly ladies’ ward. They enjoyed having a youngster to talk to and help them make trips to the bathroom. My re-ward was the many unwanted bars of chocolate brought in by their kind
16
visitors. For weeks afterwards my toys had the full hospital treatment, tucked up in bed then wheeled around on a tea trolley to the ‘operating theatre’. Here we are then, take a deep breath, register at the desk. The eye test was first and speedily done. Why hadn’t I tried to memorise the letters before the plasters were stuck on my glasses? Then it was the intermina-ble wait. Had they forgotten me? I’m sure the lady with the green hat came in after us. Ushered into a side room, pleasant chat to relax but please just do it. The huge blue plastic sheet covered me and a small aperture cut. Deep breath look to the left, don’t move and it was done. Phew, stumbling back into the waiting room and we were off to find a much-needed cup of coffee.

A BIT OF A TURKEY So Christmas Eve is over. Karen's cooked her socks off and it's only Christmas morning. Her head in recipe books, I know there are treats to come for Boxing Day visitors and beyond. And after all it's MY mum, well into her nineties now, who we're staying with. So I stake out my territory. On Christmas Day at least, I'll do the main turkey roast. Up with the turkey on Christmas morning, unfamil-iar with this old and treacherous oven, I play safe, get the bird in early. As the morning goes on I get the other stuff ready, and in or on as the case may be. So much easier than it used to be, so many lazy corners cut by judicious shopping, but still some juggling in this tiny kitchen to make it all come right in synchrony. And finally, the meal is laid. The turkey, perfect, two sorts of sausage, two sorts of stuffing, bacon, bread sauce, cranberry sauce, roast potatoes, roast parsnips, Yorkshire puds and gravy, sprouts, red cabbage and carrot batons. And as I begin to carve, my mum says "Where are the onions? Aren't we having onions?". Fol-lowed by "Isn't there any mustard? I always have mustard with meat." So that went down well, then. Only three more days ........
