Does God have a Brexit mast that he nails his colours to? While you ponder this, I will nail mine. By the time the Referendum came I reckoned I was 70% Remain and 30% Leave. Only one vote though...
I share this not to argue a position, more the opposite. Where we were living at the time of the Referendum turned out to be part of the experience for me. Coastal North Devon is ‘purple’ on the political map – solid UKIP territory (back then), and a large Leave majority. My instincts are pro-European. (If of interest, mainly because of the …

Payhembury Provisions News – November
27 October 2019 By
The highlight of our annual members meeting in October was when Anita, on behalf of the Friends of Payhembury School, presented us with a folder of letters and pictures from all the children thanking everyone in the shop for the contribution we made to their lap-top appeal. We have left the folder on the shop counter for everyone to see. This year the profit from the weekly raffle was shared between the Flower and Bulb Show, a not to be missed village event, and a Christmas lunch for the members of the Tea and Bingo Club. We also gave the …

TMCC End of Season Report
26 October 2019 By
Incredibly another cricket season has been and gone, I’m not sure where time goes in Payhembury but it certainly seems to pass much quicker than in other places we’ve lived!
The season started and ended a bit damp but in between we have had some great games and probably lost a couple more than we won overall. Our successes have been finally gaining the right permissions to play cricket legally in the field, having a published author looking after the bar, a couple of very entertaining Gin Nights and our club Open Day coinciding with the …

Yellingham Farm – October 2019
26 October 2019 By
The 18th of the month seems to loom, (plenty of time to write a quick article), the 18th of the month arrives and it disappears and yet again I have missed the last few deadlines. Excuse ? None !
It seems daft to talk about our summer activities now that the autumn and the rains are here in abundance but I just thought you might all be interested in a fact I learnt whilst we were making silage. As most of you know, silage is either cut and stored in a clamp and normally covered with huge pieces of plastic held down by loads of used tyres, or …

Paul’s Nature Notes September/October
26 October 2019 By
I really cannot comment on nature without mentioning our garden, much of which has been planted with wildlife in mind. Getting the right balance and plantings has, however, been quite a learning process. What was commonplace to us in Sussex for well over 40 years often failed miserably here in Devon. There are at least four springs, a bog garden and areas of quite deep shade and only occasional well drained soils. This means that we have to concentrate on moisture and shade loving perennial plants for a large part of the garden, whilst …
