Hello friends, how are you? Do you like the photo of us on holiday? While you were away on half term we mice decided to have a trip to the seaside for our holiday too. We packed up our beach gear and travelled in our special mouse coach down to visit our cousins at the seaside. It took quite a while and Granma mouse didn’t feel very well when we got there, she doesn’t really like travelling. But when she got out of the coach she saw some icecream and do you know she immediately felt better!
Well we had a super time, we had some lovely hot …

Community Coffee Morning – Parish Paper Quiz
Thank you to everyone who entered the Parish Paper Quiz at the council coffee morning. The winners were Anne Baxter and her team who got closer to the right answer for the number of papers delivered (330) and the monthly cost of printing the paper (£186) than anyone else.
Many people thought Sue Derbyshire still edited the paper but in fact she and Graham Smith now run the village website www.payhembury.org.uk. You will find all sorts of information there that we have no room for in the Parish Paper such as parish council agendas and notices …

Payhembury Provisions News – July 2017
In the shop this month we have been using our new computer system to do a stock take, not the most exciting job but a very necessary one, and it has brought home to us how many different products we stock, from fresh peaches, strawberries and the best avocados in Devon to useful things like cleaning products, birthday cards and clothes pegs with all our staple everyday products in between, including bread, milk, cheese and eggs and those other two essentials; wine and chocolate. If we don't stock what you would like to buy please let us know …

Broadhembury WI – July
In the days of cold winter knees and ric rac, my childhood mornings started with a cheery Wakey, Wakey, Rise and Shine, Sun scorching your eyes out!! You, too?
But we didn't know the glories of Granola for breakfast! Sharon Davies of Midfields Granola on Dartmoor, only started producing it 13 years ago from a friend's Californian recipe. It is a cottage industry that has taken off like a rocket, and now she and her helpers cook 200 kilos a a day in her kitchen.
We tasted her granola in cakes and puddings too, and because there is no sugar in …

Tea and Bingo – July
A goodly number attended our June meeting and we were very impressed that Liz Watnough brought her sister Vivien with her from…. Australia! What a way to come for a game of bingo. It was lovely to see her and we hope she’ll be back in a year’s time.
As usual the Six Bells gave us a warm welcome and we always appreciate that. A couple of people had “lucky” seats, so if they are willing I think we should all sit in different seats next month, but we shall see!
Our next meeting is on:
Wed 5th July, 2.15pm
in the Six Bells
As usual, if you …

Welcome to our Golden Edition!
This edition is the fiftieth anniversary of the year of publication. The Parish Paper was first produced in July 1967 under the auspices of the then vicar, the Rev. William Henry Major, the incumbent from 1963 to 1968. A small group of parishioners, including Betty Johns from Tuckmill, Betty Whitaker from Lower Milton and Trevor Collins from Moneyglass Cottage at Colestocks, put together the first copy which contained just Church news. Before the start of our Parish Paper there was a Diocesan Newsletter. Distributed before 1939, this included …
