Rectory David’s December Notes – Forever and Ever Amen

24 November 2023 By Sue

Christmas quiz – who sang “I wish it could be Christmas every day” (cue the sound of sleigh bells and children singing)? Bonus point – which year? (Answer below*) Are you ready for the Christmas soundtrack – piped in the shops, looped on the radio, blasted by someone in your home, perhaps stirring old festive memories? Whatever our sentiment about Christmas being every day, it is upon us. Christmas – the Power and the Glory of it. Ah, but we’ve done that bit of the Lord’s Prayer already. How about a hybrid Christmas song, then – “I wish …

It’s “Tupping” Time at Yellingham Farm

28 October 2021 By Sue

What a wonderful word……” tupping”. You will all know that a male sheep is called a Ram, but for those of you who aren’t fully aware of the strange dictionary of words used in the shepherding world, a male sheep is also commonly known as a “Tup” - hence when the rams are put in with the ewes it’s called “tupping time”. Our rams were put in at the beginning of the month and prior to the day we always give them a thorough check over to make sure they are fit for the task ahead. This time of year always reminds me of a visit we had from a number of …

Reverend David’s August Message – Journeys, Archbishops and Planets

28 August 2021 By Sue

“A single ticket from Feniton, please. To errr… the South Pacific.” “The Pacific, sir?” checks the man at the counter, “that’s very adventurous, if I may be bold enough to say. Is that business, sir, or are we on holiday?” “Mmmm, you could call it God’s business, I suppose”. “My apologies, sir, I see you’re a man of the cloth. So I’m sure He will bring you back safely to us, sir. A Return ticket, then.” “I’m not so sure! Let’s stick with One-way.” “Well, have a nice trip, sir.” It’s 1855, and John Coleridge Patteson leaves the Feniton family …

Happy 10th Birthday to Payhembury Provisions!

28 August 2021 By Sue

During the Covid restrictions we really missed our annual volunteers suppers which are always fun and a great way to thank all the wonderful people who keep the shop going in many different ways over the year. Last month we held our 10th anniversary tea party and it was lovely to see so many old friends, volunteers and customers who were able to get together for a good chat over a cup of tea and delicious scones and cakes made by Ed and Janet. David, the Chairman of the shop committee, made a short speech including the fact that over the last …

Yellingham Farm – August 2021

28 August 2021 By Sue

We are so busy with a huge range of guests who seem so delighted to have landed in this beautiful part of the world for their holiday. What an eye opener life was arriving at Yellingham Farm! It all starts with the opening of the farm gates, a wide smile from me and a wave of the arms to park anywhere they like in the large yard. My mistake No.1 as they park skew whiff under the kitchen windows where they can view the madness occurring in the busiest, most chaotic room of the house, with Edward cooking, the laundry airing over the Aga, the …

Tale Millers Cricket – August

28 August 2021 By Sue

It’s a balmy summers evening and the Millers game against The Sunsets, run by the very wonderful Devon Dumpling Bernie Wilson , is in full flow . Ben Peters is in the middle of a purple patch and as the bowler trots in off a few paces , Ben raises his bat and launches the ball towards “Cow corner” – yes he is a farmer - and this boundary runs fairly close to the mighty River Tale . The Sunsets have positioned a giant of a man – we shall call him Eric – on the cow corner boundary. As the ball flies towards Eric, he makes it obvious that he is …
