Dear East Devon Town and Parish Councils,

After the rain of recent times it was no great surprise that the bowlers came out on top in last nights match at Tuck Mill .
Batting first Millers innings was glued together by a patient 20 not out from Shane Tout, supported by 27 from Jason Wood and 18 from Dan Rugg, closing on 94 all out with just seven shots breaching the boundary ropes and Bob Adam’s returning very impressive figures of 5-12.
Fullsys Allstars response was pretty much halted before it could get going with Neil Chambers taking 5-5 right at the start of the innings and …

Paul’s Nature Notes May – June 2021

The low moth counts continued right into June and unfortunately there are many species which may now not appear at all this year, notable amongst which is the Puss Moth. This is such a truly glorious moth and one which surely should be a firm favourite of all the cat owners in the village. I have it on authority that this has been the worst spring for insects since records began. Reports have come in from all over the country of Blue Tit broods failing due to lack of food. Oak trees came into leaf at least a month late and this meant that there …

Reverend David’s July 2021 Message – Settledness
3 July 2021 By
There is quiet celebration in the Carrington household this summer. Our house-moves over recent years fell strangely into a 3-year rhythm. This month we mark our 3rd anniversary of moving here – and we’ve no intention of going anywhere else. We are delighted at this more settled prospect. For you this may be for-better-or-for-worse!
In some walks of life, regular moves are of course the norm. In my former training life at the Met Office, we liaised with the Navy’s meteorological training centre in Plymouth; a strong relationship with my …

Reverend David’s June 2021 Message – Summer of Grace
3 July 2021 By
Summer – what a wonderful word! The days stretch and relax. The sun shines (or not!). Warmth fills our bodies – winter’s cold becomes hard to imagine. Memories of childhood summers, lying back on the grass with gloriously nothing to do but gaze up at the deep blue sky and pick out animal shapes in the drifting clouds. A pint in a pub garden. The smell of suncream. Of bar-b-ques.
What are you doing this summer? Less traveling than in others, perhaps. In whatever way Covid chooses to cramp our summer style, the season will still sing for us its …

It never ceases to amaze me how quickly the weather can change at this time of year- so from my piece last month when I was fretting about the damp weather, we have moved to a new situation whereby the Skipper/Plumber and I had a conversation yesterday about the most effective way to water the wicket as its starting to crack . For those who don’t know The Tale Valley is full of nature but not so full of topsoil – perhaps unsurprising on a flood plain !
The minute I put pen to paper our impressive record will, of course, be cursed , but I have …
