SEPTEMBER 2019 EDITORIAL
Successful events don’t just happen; behind every successful event is an optimistic and hard-working organiser. Our thanks, therefore, must go to Sue Hudson, one of the churchwardens from St Swithun’s, who organised the Flower Festival held there over the weekend of 12-14 July, in collaboration with Woodbury Wide Awake. As well as showcasing the church itself, the Festival commemorated the life and work of Rev’d Keble Martin (see pages 14-16). The Editor would also like to thank Val Arndt, the Deputy Editor (now taking a well-deserved holiday), for compiling the Mini-Directory entitled What To Do In Your Leisure Time, to be found as a detachable centrespread between pages 20 and 21. We are indeed lucky to have so many and such varied activities so readily available to take part in. As well as being enjoyable social occasions, membership of some of the clubs and societies listed could just offer an extension to a favourite hobby, or could provide an opportunity to learn a new skill. Many of the organisation additionally raise money for local or national charities. Not only can we walk along the local footpaths, on the Common and further afield at the seaside or on the moors, there is also a range of organised sporting activities to suit all tastes – either as participants or as spectators, for example at Bicton Arena showjumping events. Maybe you are new to our villages, or maybe you’ve been saying to yourself that you must take more exercise/join a particular club/get out more. Sometimes it seems hard to make that first move, but September seems as good a time as any to start. Our villages are friendly and welcoming places – so do just go along to your chosen organisation and find out for yourself!

5 FoSS (FRIENDS OF ST SWITHUN’S) FoSS held a very successful summer concert with Exeter University Chapel Choir, under the direction of Michael Graham and accompanied by organ scholar Harry Sullivan, providing top quality entertainment. Colin Ashby writes the following review: On a warm summer evening the University Chapel Choir abandoned their traditional robes in favour of more casual attire for their annual concert at St Swithun’s. The performance they gave was far from casual with a varied programme sung to their usual high standard, with powerful crystal clear melodies and precise distinct diction. The concert opened with three church anthems spanning four centuries: ‘Blessed Be the God and Father’ by S.S Wesley, ‘If Ye Love Me’ by Philip Wilby and William Byrd’s setting of ‘Ave Verum Corpus’. This was followed by a brilliant solo from Imogen Harvey, ‘River of Dreams’ a song written to a melody from Vivaldi’s ‘Four Seasons’. Two more choral pieces completed the first half - ‘Salve Regina’ by Herbert Howells, and an exciting choral arrangement of the American folksong ‘Shenadoah’. The second half featured some lighter items from the choir, including Michael Tippet’s arrangement of ‘Steal Away’, a King’s Singers’ arrangement of ‘And So It Goes’, and some solos. Two were voice: ‘Homeward Bound’ sung by Anna Sharman and Vaughan Williams ‘The Water Mill’ sung by Jessie Woodhouse, followed by a lively performance on the organ of Bach’s ‘Fugue in E’ by Harry Sullivan, who also accompanied the concert on both piano and organ. The final item was a spectacular arrangement by Hugo Wickham, a member of the choir, of the Take That song ‘Shine’, which gave a lively conclusion to a really enjoyable evening of music. There were over 80 in the audience and, with a raffle masterminded by Roger and June Hann, £700 was raised for FoSS funds. The Autumn Concert with Exeter Singers will take place in the church on Tuesday 19 November at 19.00. It is hoped that Woodbury School choir will join us and sing a selection on the evening. Following three successful concerts this year and continued support from members, FoSS has contributed £1,540 to the Church Bells project and still retains approximately £7,500 for further projects to protect and enhance the fabric of St Swithun’s church.

7 WOODBURY VILLAGE GOLF SOCIETY Enmore Park Golf Club on Thursday 11 July Enmore is a lovely golf course in great condition but it was not an easy one for the higher handicappers. Only four out of the 16 that played managed to score 30 points or over. The turnout was disappointing and not a multiple of three, so we went out in four groups of 4. The meal was good but was muddled up with another society, however this was sorted. Peter Heron gave us excellent bulletins on the Aussie/England cricket match and a joke which led to a return joke from the other society! Only Graham Slack managed a 2 which was the 12th and pretty good as the par 3s were challenging. Tony Beck was nearest the pin. The teams played with three balls to count which made it more tricky. The top three teams only had a point between them, 101,100 and 99! In second place were Paul Saunders, Peter Heron, David Moore and Peter Payne. The winners were Tony Beck, Jeremy Browne, Paul Crafer and Peter de la Mare. For individuals, in third place was David Moore with 30 points; in second place Peter Heron with 32 points and the winner, on count back, Graham Slack also with 32 points. Tony Beck scored 31 points but had 3 points deducted due to a previous win. The next event will be at Dainton Park Golf Club on Thursday 15 August. Apparently it is in brilliant condition and the food is excellent. Jeremy Browne, Past Chairman WOODBURY HISTORY SOCIETY The Society’s speaker for the meeting in September will be the eminent archaeologist and historian, John Allan, who will be giving a lecture on Current Archaeology in Exeter. John is an expert on medieval buildings and artefacts, was formerly curator of Antiquities at the Royal Albert Museum, and is at present consultant archaeologist to Exeter Cathedral. He has written many papers and lectures on medieval archaeology, and is an excellent speaker. The lecture will take place on Thursday 5 September at 19.30 in Woodbury village hall. Visitors are very welcome to attend. Gill Selley

8 WOODBURY AND NEWTON ST CYRES CRICKET CLUB Woodbury 1st XI travelled to Bradninch on 20 July for the return fixture of the match they lost by six wickets earlier in the season. Nalin Chouhan won the toss and elected to field on a lovely summer's day, not too hot, just perfect for playing cricket. Bradninch's openers started brightly, scoring quickly, but also lost wickets to our openers, Martin Pearce (3-39) and Nalin (1-50), and halfway through their innings were 91-3. They looked to accelerate after drinks but were pegged back by our spinners, Becca Silk (136) and Daniel Alford (2-54), and finished on 235-8. In reply, Woodbury started brightly, assisted by Extras (71), and at drinks were 103-3. The chase was definitely on but could we hold our nerve against a team above us in the table in the relative comfort of mid-table obscurity? Steve Boundy (62) took us most of the way there but fell with Woodbury needing 49 runs from 45 balls. There were a lot of nervous players on the boundary but an 8th wicket 50 partnership between Dave Church (29*) and Nalin (25*) took us home for a famous win by 3 wickets with 8 balls to spare. Having beaten two teams above us in the table, could Woodbury 1st XI consolidate our position on 27 July by beating the team at the bottom of the division? Upottery won the toss and asked us to field first on another hot summer’s day at Town Lane. Our seamers started brightly, taking wickets at regular intervals (Nalin Chouhan (2-22), Dave Church (3-39) and Jo Moretta (2-11)) before our spinners, Becca Silk and Daniel Alford, mopped up the tail. Upottery were all out for 109, which was not enough to trouble our batters (Shenan Grossberg (58*) and Leighton Dayman (25*)) who reached their total for the loss of only one wicket. Woodbury also participates in a mid-week T20 League at Cheriton Fitzpaine and, after scraping into the top 4 of the league, we qualified for the Final’s day on Sunday 28 July. We faced a strong Erratics side in our semi-final, but our bowlers, coupled with a strong fielding display, limited the Erratics to 130-6, with wickets for Andy Cork (2), Nalin Chouhan and Dave Church. The chase began well with in-form Shenan Grossberg reaching 31 before retiring not out. Chris Collyer (21), Alistair Collyer (24) and Dave Church (18) also made important contributions, before skipper Andy Cork (11*) saw Woodbury home with 9 balls to spare. This set up a final immediately afterwards against Yeoford, Cork again winning the toss and electing to field. Yeoford started well and, despite a good opening spell from Jack Garner (1-14), threatened to post a score in excess of 150. However, Woodbury’s bowlers fought back with late wickets for Church, Cork and Nalin, and two run-outs in the final over meant Yeoford were bowled out for 125. Once again, the opening pair of Grossberg and Chris Collyer got Woodbury off to a good start, both reaching the retirement score of 30. Ali Collyer and Phil Denham then kept the scoring going, with Ali joining his brother on 30.
9 Harvey Shipton then came to the crease as the game reached its final stages, with Woodbury needing 8 from the final over. Shipton played with an assurance belying his youth; he hit the first ball for 4, took 2 byes from the second and then hit the third for 2 runs to give Woodbury the trophy that two strong team performances deserved. We also have a thriving junior section of the club, who experienced another tremendous season. Running teams at Under 12, Under 11 and Under 10 levels, with ages ranging from 6 to 13, training on a Friday evening saw up to 50 children taking to the pitch to learn the skills and techniques of cricket. Across the season, the three teams played 16 matches, winning 11 games and losing 5; 2 of those losses in the quarter-finals of the Devon Youth Cup. Most of the children played in at least one match, ensuring that they had the opportunity to put their skills into practice and to enjoy the unique experience of bowling and batting in a game situation. Thanks have to go to James and Andrew for taking on the running of the Under 10 group, to all coaches and coaching assistants who make Friday evening sessions possible, and to the numerous parents who complete the community feel of the club through their assistance with scoring, running the bar, collecting match fees, hosting visiting teams with tea and cake, and acting as taxi services to away matches. We will start again in April 2020 – if you have children interested in playing, please contact Richard Church, Colts co-ordinator at richardj church@yahoo.co.uk. We welcome people from all ages and abilities to the club, whether they want to play or watch or help out in some other way. We have a fantastic spirit in the club and hope to see you soon.

10 WOODBURY GARDEN CLUB Flower, Fruit and Vegetable Show What a fantastic Show! Well done to Debby Mullier (Show Secretary), to the Committee and members for producing 294 exhibits and to those who supported the Show by coming and viewing and having a cup of tea. The Judge, John Patrick from Exmouth, said it was one of the best he had judged this year. I sometimes think that it is a pity the school children are on holiday at this time because the show would make a good educational visit!
Sandra Wills (top left) won the Bob Clarke Trophy. Debby Mullier (bottom left) won the Woodbury Challenge Cup. Iris and Giles McKenna (above) won prizes in the Junior Section shown here with Peter Grist, Chairman
The Oakhayes Trophy for the highest number of points in the flower section (classes 1-36) went to Bryony Giles.
11 The Committee Shield for the highest number of points in the fruit and vegetable section (classes 37-64) went to Patrick Strainge. The Woodbury Park Plate for the highest number of points overall (classes 1-64) went to Bryony Giles. Well done Bryony and Patrick, who also won the Palmer Cup for the best exhibit in the fruit and vegetable section, his onions, which were magnificent. Other winners were Sue Bury, Jean Carpenter, Sandra Wills, Ken Crundwell, Nova Fisher and Peter Grist. Each year the members are given a ‘challenge' to grow and this year it was one of the smaller sunflowers that can be grown in an 8 inch pot. This Woodbury Challenge Cup was won by Debby Mullier. Thank you also to Bryn Davies and Giles and Iris McKenna for entering the Junior Section. Well done to all the members who took a good look at their gardens or allotments and exhibited. Much planning and hard work is needed for the Show, but we were rewarded with a colourful and fun day. Our next meeting will be on 10 September when Jeremy Wilson will be giving a talk entitled The Scented Garden in Woodbury village hall at 19.15. Joyce Jeans WOODBURY AND DISTRICT ROYAL BRITISH LEGION We send best wishes to John Treasaden, who is recovering well in Canada with Brenda and the family by his side.

12 WOODBURY TENNIS CLUB We are approaching the end of the summer season which has been hot and dry, so very few matches have been cancelled due to weather. The Men’s A team have had an excellent season in Division 6 and, with only one match to play, is vying for the top of the division and promotion to Div 5. However, there are three teams level at the top with only two to be promoted, so it all rests on the final match. The B team completed all matches but did not manage to avoid relegation, and will be in Div 8 next season. Both teams have been excellently organised by captains Tim Greenslade and Phil Moores. The Mixed team has completed all fixtures, to finish a creditable third in Division 6, recording three wins, four draws and three defeats. Pauline Jones can be proud of her work as first-time captain, ensuring all worked well. The Club is intending to enter a Men’s team and a Mixed team in the winter leagues The junior coaching programme has now been completed. Coach, John Wingate, and his assistant, Tom Kinch, regularly had 32 youngsters on court on Wednesday evenings in four sessions. There will be a shortened programme in September/October. The youngsters thoroughly enjoyed the sessions and we hope that the programme can be repeated next year. Contact Helen (helenryland@btinternet.com) if you wish to be included in the autumn and in next year’s programme. The Club held a successful doubles tournament and barbeque on Sunday 21 July with twelve active players and a further group of spectators who participated in the barbeque with our usual master chef Phil Moores. Tim Greenslade and Linda Salmon defeated Alan Marks and Helen Ryland in a competitive final. The trophy was presented by Pat Browne. Pat Browne
13 WOODBURY WOMEN’S INSTITUTE Fourteen ladies from Woodbury WI visited the Honiton Lace Museum on 5 July. The visit was the result of Pat Perryman, from the Museum, giving a fascinating talk about Lacemaking in the Honiton Area, including Woodbury, when she brought lots of pieces of lace and invited us to see more at the Museum. Two excellent guides showed us around the amazing garments made with the lace, some dating from the 1600s and 20th century pieces including a lace-decorated nightdress, which belonged to Wallis Simpson, and jabot and cuffs made by Pat for the Speakers of the House of Commons, Bernard Weatherall and Betty Boothroyd. The lace was exquisite but we were disturbed to learn that the outworkers were Would-be lacemakers watch paid a pittance for this fine work; a tiny the expert motif could take 20 hours to make. The fine thread (some finer than a human hair) was weighed out to each worker and then the lace motif weighed when completed to ensure that the worker could not make a piece of their own to sell. They were paid with tokens only redeemable at the company shop. The Devon lace found in the school was called trolly lace and was used to edge pillow cases or tray cloths as it was made in 2” wide strips. A decade ago lace expert Carol McFadzean found some bags of very old Devon trolly lace in a cupboard in Woodbury Salterton School; she wrote books and lectured around the world about this amazing find. The WI ladies made purchases at the shop, expressed their thanks to the Museum volunteers and then set off for a pub lunch at the Otter Inn in Weston. Everyone agreed it had been a good day out: we learned a lot about social history in our area, saw exquisite handiwork, and enjoyed a tasty meal in the company of good friends. Lin Milsom-Ashby

14 ST SWITHUN’S FLOWER FESTIVAL St Swithun’s very successful Flower Festival in July had an unusual focus on wild flowers and the legacy of the eminent botanist Rev’d William Keble Martin, who died in Woodbury 50 years ago. The Flower Festival and Woodbury Wide Awake marked his anniversary with a very stimulating and interesting mix of contributions from local groups and individuals. The flower arrangers showed great imagination and creativity by basing their stunning window displays on different natural habitats and the plants that grow there – from wasteland to the wilds of Dartmoor. Each evocative display was sponsored by a different local organisation, and most of the plant material came from Woodbury gardens and hedgerows.
Each display related to one of the embroidered kneelers, whose floral designs were developed from drawings and paintings made by local women, inspired by Keble Martin’s illustrations. The kneelers were featured throughout the church – all 129 of them, many of which had been restored especially. There was a display of their original designs, stitching diagrams and methods, and a history of their making, including who stitched them and made the original artwork. The kneelers are a lasting tribute to the women of the parish, who worked them from the early 1970s to the present day.
15
In addition there were a number of other exhibits inspired by Keble Martin's life and work. Still on view at the back of the church is a display of artifacts and memorabilia (on loan from the Local History Society and individuals) including the fascinating printing plates for his stamp designs and for the cover he designed for Woodbury News. That design has also been beautifully reworked as an embroidery, commissioned for the Festival from the prison charity Fine Cell Work. The Festival included a display about Keble Martin’s life history and remarkable ancestry which can be viewed more fully on the website woodbury-wide-awake.co.uk. Thanks to the vicar of St Luke’s Church in Milber, in S Devon (where Keble Martin officiated and actually commissioned the church building), a beautiful cope embroidered with wildflower designs was loaned to the exhibition.
On display was artwork and nature-writing from the two local primary schools and from participants in a Woodbury Wide Awake watercolourpainting workshop. Cont’d/...
16 ST SWITHUN’S FLOWER FESTIVAL cont’d/… There was also a photographic slideshow of local wildflowers, and a very successful plant sale, too. Finally, music was performed throughout the weekend by local organists and the church choir, culminating in a very enjoyable Songs of Praise. Two of Keble Martin’s relatives visited and were very interested to see how his life and work had been interpreted 50 years later. There was also a surprise endorsement from the Duke of Edinburgh, who was instrumental in the original publication of The Concise British Flora and wrote its forward. His private secretary wrote to churchwarden Sue Hudson: "The Rev'd Keble Martin's book, The Concise British Flora, is a much referred-to volume in Prince Philip’s library. His Royal Highness hopes that the festival and exhibition is both a fitting tribute to the work of Rev’d Keble Martin, and brings notice of it to a wider audience. This letter comes with Prince Philip’s warm good wishes." The wildflower theme was very much appreciated by visitors, as was the wide range of contributions from a great many people. Overall £850 was raised for the church, through donations and sales of refreshments and plants. Special thanks are due to Churchwarden Sue Hudson who organised the event with the flower arrangers, and to the many other individuals and groups involved. Diana Wackerbarth

In view of the WI national focus on Mental Health we decided to invite Jess Clarke to give us a talk on Music Therapy, Positive Mental Health and Wellbeing. Jess grew up in our village, attending our Church School before going on to Exmouth Community College. She studied music at Plymouth University, gaining a 1st Class Honours Degree. She is currently in her third and final year of her Masters Degree in Music Therapy at the University of the West of England, Bristol. Jess will also provide the entertainment in the second half of the Group Meeting. She is an extremely talented musician, composing both instrumental music and songs which she sings to her own accompaniment. She plays keyboards, synthesisers, guitar, mandolin, banjo and sitar. She has entertained in local venues like The Digger’s Rest and at a concert in our church. Jess lives in the village with her parents Martin and Debbie Clarke and her sister Abbey, who is a very talented photographer, and not far from her grandparents Barry and Carol Bolt. We look forward to her talk and to hearing about the important role that music can play in helping people with mental illness. Pennant for DFWI Bunting Next year the County Federation celebrates its centenary, and every WI has been asked to make a pennant for bunting which will be used at all major county events during 2020.

20 UNVEILING OF NEW INTERPRETATION BOARDS AT WOODBURY CASTLE In 1971 Devon County Council decided to widen the road across the Common where it passed through the old Iron Age fort. There was no consultation with archaeologists, and the workmen chopped off the end of one of the ramparts by the northern gateway to the fort. Henrietta Quennell, a new young archaeologist in Devon, was assigned the job of directing a team of archaeologists to try and interpret what the butchery of the rampart had disclosed. Work was done beside the road, with traffic roaring past, just on this part of the rampart as the circumstances made it impossible to work further into the fort. The funding was purely for ‘rescue’ work on the site. On Thursday 1 August at 11.00, Judy Vallance and I represented Woodbury History Society for the unveiling ceremony by Devon Archaeology Society, DCC Historic Environment and Pebblebed Heaths Conservation Trust. Henrietta Quennell unveiled the new illustrated interpretation boards in front of a group of archaeologists, historians, representatives of Clinton Devon Estates and Lympstone and Exmouth History Societies. She led us around the site where the four boards had been placed and introduced us to the artist/ archaeologist responsible for the very attractive interpretation drawings. Henrietta Quinnell, BA FSA MCIfA, formerly lecturer in Archaeology at the Dept of Adult education at Exeter University, has worked mainly in South West Britain, and is an expert on the pre-history of the region. She was also consulted by Time Team when it was investigating two massive hill forts in Cornwall. Gill Selley WEATHER REPORT The drought of a full four weeks was finally broken on 19 July, followed by a week of increasingly hot weather, with thunderstorms locally and more seriously countrywide. However, here at Ebford conditions remained dry until the last three days of the month. The total rainfall was just under an inch, 22mm, which makes July the driest month of the year so far, similar to May’s 25mm. In between we suffered a very wet early/mid June; I make no predictions for the holiday month of August! Norman Cann

ROUND AND ABOUT DEATH We are sorry to report the death of Pamela Spray on 21 July. Pam was born on 3 March 1934 at the bakery and village shop in Rockbeare but the war meant that Pam and Ken had to live with family in Colyton for two years; at eight she travelled to The Maynard School in Exeter. She went cycling with her friend, Hazel Pyatt as she became, and joined in village activities. She was confirmed in the village church at 14, where she was later married to Peter in 1956. Before that she had trained for nursing at the Middlesex Hospital. Not long after Tim’s birth in 1957, Peter had a stroke which left him not expected to walk again but they overcame this and Peter returned to work. Pam ran a B&B at Brookleigh in Woodbury and Mandy was born in 1959. By the time Stephen was born in 1963, they had moved to Pollybrook in Town Lane and Pam then went to Rolle College for teacher training. Her first post was at Otterton School and then the special needs school attached to Stoke Lyne in Exmouth. At Millwater School in Honiton she was Deputy Head and her final and favourite job was as a pre-school advisory teacher, assessing children in their homes. Throughout her career Pam also participated in village activities, including the building of the Scout and Guide Hut, where she was Tawny Owl to the Brownies, and later playing short mat bowls. She also found time to entertain family and friends, including her speciality junket and clotted cream; this continued in Beeches Close. Karen, Brian and Tracy joined the family, followed by the six grand-children: Naomi, James, Luke, Joshua, Jennie and Megan. Family fun and trips continued; Peter and Pam loved to travel, especially across the Atlantic. They became very involved with St Swithun’s, where Peter was confirmed, Pam was a churchwarden and they both delighted in being the vicar’s in-laws! Pam had many craft skills: she sewed some of the church kneelers. For five years they lived happily in Budleigh Salterton but after Peter died Pam returned to Woodbury, where she met up regularly with friends and again joined various clubs. However her health deteriorated and she moved gratefully to live with Stephen and Tracy, Josh and Megan at Feniton and of course Suzy, the Jack Russell went too. Their care and that of Hospicare was greatly appreciated by Pam and all the family and only for her last three weeks did she need to be in Sundial Nursing Home, where she passed peacefully through the death she did not fear in the confidence of her faith in God and to be reunited with her beloved Peter. cont’d over/...
22 DEATH cont’d/… Her funeral at St Swithun’s on 1 August 2019 was conducted by Karen, her daughter-in-law, followed by burial with Peter in St Peter’s Cemetery, Budleigh Salterton. Mandy Spray would be glad to receive any memories of Pam that people wished to pass on to the family: email mandyspray@ sky.com. We send our condolences to all the family. TENNIS NEWS - JOHNSONS DO THE DOUBLE Ben and Jess Johnson, who play for Woodbury and East Devon Tennis Academy, both qualified for the finals of The Road to Wimbledon International and National event.

23 FUNDRAISING There are many ways of raising money for charity. Eleven people from Woodbury decided to join the hundreds of others at Westpoint in The Race for Life 5K on Sunday 21 July for Cancer Research UK. After some training walking, jogging and running around the village over the last few months, I am pleased to say we all completed the course, with the support of husbands and friends. It was an incredible event, with our emotions reflecting why we were there and also the joy of people coming together giving their all in support and sponsorship.
We are now talking of next year’s event, including the men. Will you take part? Chris Lear WELCOME Welcome to Sally, Jeff and Ollie Thomas, who have moved to Woodbury Salterton from Honiton with their friendly 11-year-old border collie, Jessie. Sally provides care in their home for vulnerable adults through the charity Shared Lives, and Jeff is contracted to South West Water. They are looking forward to becoming involved in the village.
24 WOODBURY WIDE AWAKE Festival inspired by botanist Rev’d William Keble Martin The festival continued through the summer months with some very stimulating talks, wildflower walks, painting workshops, and, of course, the hugely successful Flower Festival at St Swithun's (see pages 14-16). In June, local resident Sam Bridgewater (Head of Wildlife and Conservation at the Pebblebed Heaths Conservation Trust) gave a fascinating talk at St Andrew’s, Exton, about the history, natural environment and wildlife of the Commons, the special status of rare lowland heathland, and the conservation issues faced on a daily basis, balancing the needs and expectations of the many different users. Later, he Evening walk on the Common with botanist Sam Bridgewater shared his expert botanical knowledge on an evening walk looking especially at the plants of the damp mires on the Common – including the infamous pitcher plant, a non-native carnivorous plant that somehow appeared there in the 1990s and is still present. We were very fortunate as well to have two important contributions from the Devonshire Association. Botanist Bob Hodgson gave a talk at St Swithun’s about compiling the recent New Flora of Devon (Keble Martin having been the lead editor of the previous edition of 1939), well illustrated by many rare, unusual or typical plants found in the county. East Devon botanist David Allen guided a second walk on the Common, which included both mire and heathland plants, opening our eyes once again to the huge variety underfoot that is easy to miss. We also benefitted from the exceptional knowledge of herbal Painting in Nature with Daniel Homes Adams medicine practitioner Melanie
25 Shaw, on a walk on Woodbury Green and Pathfields, revealing our forebears' medicine cabinet, hidden in plain sight in our everyday surroundings. A series of flower-painting workshops generated some interesting initial studies, and these classes will continue in September. Finally, resident Malcolm Randle completed the monumental task of researching William Keble Martin’s family history – discovering that it goes back to Edward I (and before that to William the Conqueror), and Sir Walter Raleigh. This remarkable ancestry can be seen at https://www.woodburywide-awake.co.uk/the-remarkable-ancestry-of-william-. Diana Wackerbarth Woodbury Wide Awake forthcoming events Mondays 9, 16, 23 and 30 September Flower and nature painting. Four day-workshops in any medium with artist Daniel Holmes Adams, £40/class, £135 for all four. Saturday 28 September Juicing Day and Apple Stories at Woodbury Community Orchard. An afternoon for families and the young-at-heart with gifted storyteller Lisa Schneidau, weaving tales for children of all ages about wild plants, apples and their magic. There will be an apple juicing event alongside the storytelling, using some apples from the Orchard and you are also encouraged to bring your own. Making apple juice by hand is great fun for families and children, and the juice can be drunk on the day or frozen and stored. It’s quite hard work crushing the apples so it is good to have plenty of willing hands - and spare containers. Entry is by donation but please reserve your place(s) for the storytelling. The Orchard is also aiming to have its traditional juicing event this autumn at Gilbrook (date to be confirmed). Saturday 5 October St Swithun’s Harvest Supper will have sung entertainment themed on nature by Devon Close Harmony Quartet. Details from St Swithun’s. Sunday 6 October Nature-writing. Afternoon writing workshop, including time on the Common (weather permitting), with Roselle Angwin. Entry by donation. More events are still in planning and for full details please see the website woodbury-wide-awake.co.uk, email info@woodbury-wide-awake.co.uk, look out for posters around the villages, or tel 01395 239078.
26 CLINTON DEVON ESTATES Bicton Arena The summer holidays are a busy time as we welcome local Pony Clubs through the gates for their annual residential camps, enabling youngsters to use the fantastic facilities the Arena provides. This culminates in the Pony Club Regional Championships at the end of August, where children from across the region, from Cornwall to Wiltshire, gather to compete in this prestigious competition. From 6-8 September we host the last of our multi-day showjumping shows, with classes up to 1.40m. This event is free to the public, so do come along to enjoy some top-level showjumping or have a drink and listen to the band providing the evening entertainment on Saturday 7 September. Make sure you also put the October International Horse Trials in your diary. The crosscountry action will take place on Saturday 26 October and promises to provide an action-packed day of sport. Complimentary passes are available for local residents: please pop up to the Rolle Estate Office or email beccy.barrett@clintondevon.com. Clinton Farms The chance to reduce single-use plastic, food miles and support local farmers became even easier with the arrival of a milk vending machine outside Otterton Mill last month. Using glass bottles that are completely reusable and recyclable, you can fill up with fresh pasteurised organic whole milk, produced by local cows who graze the fields above Otterton. Forestry There has been a similarly frustrating picture in our woodlands lately, most recently at Harpford. Trees were found damaged by those building bike jumps. Trees were felled, whilst others were damaged with axes or by having nails driven into them. The old railway line running through Harpford Woods is a bridlepath where bikes are allowed, along with horses and walkers. However, the rest of the woods only has permissive access on foot, so no horses or bikes are permitted. In the forestry blocks that fringe the commons, cycling is permitted if riders follow the Pebblebed Bike Code and do not modify trails or build jumps. Before the autumn, contractors have been instructed to flatten the jumps at Harpford and at other sites near Yettington and Budleigh which pose a risk to the public and could overturn machinery with potentially fatal consequences for forestry workers. Countryside Learning Clinton Devon Estates are pleased to be supporting Exmouth Town Council to deliver its ‘protecting the environment’ conference for local primary schools at the end of the month. We will give workshops covering aspects of sustainability, conservation and talk about local measures to increase biodiversity and combat climate change. Pebblebed Heaths Conservation Trust Heath Week once again delivered a fantastic series of events celebrating all the local heathland has to offer.
27
Safari tours with our rangers booked up quickly. Wildlife, archaeology and heritage events were well attended too. Staff and volunteers celebrated World Ranger Day by working to improve habitats for birds and amphibians at Blackhill ponds. Those who joined evening walks to listen to nightjars were rewarded with displays of acrobatic flying and plenty of churring. Thank you to everyone who took part in any of the week’s activities. Unfortunately, not all our visitors fully understand their responsibilities when visiting heathland and our rangers were kept busy in dry weather
preventing wildfires. This included keeping machinery set up ready to tackle a fire and even putting out some small blazes. The rangers take time to explain politely that, even in a car park, a campfire or BBQ can still pose a significant fire risk. Please be fire aware.

This was when the UK adopted decimal currency. I have now been using it for many years and it has just this week ceased to work. That makes it 48 years on the same battery. Is this the longest lasting calculator and battery? Audrey Elphick Have you got an interesting photo to illustrate your article?
