The Cover Illustration is by Julia Sparks.

The rose is called ‘High Hopes’. It is a climber and is now up to our first floor windows; I should have realised from its name that it would do just that. Read the label!! But I am not sorry; it is a lovely pink, with a superb scent. However, I think I’ll have to give it a stern talking to this winter or we won’t be able to open the windows next year! JS

This is the Packet for July and August, so may I wish everyone a good summer and a lovely holiday. The seasons do seem to have reversed themselves, but I do keep telling myself that we NEED the rain. The entrance form for the Flower Show is included in this Packet as an insert and more can be obtained from Sue Wilson, Joan Beckett or Iris Selway. Let’s hope for good weather on August 13th. Exercise classes are starting again. Pilates has started at the Village Hall Mondays at 11am, and the popular Keep Fit will be starting in September, also at the Village Hall, probably Thursday morning. Come and have some fun and trim up the figure at the same time! If you would like to find out more, phone me 01404 891560. If anyone would like more details of what is going on in Neighbourhood Watch here is a website to look up. www.ourwatch.org.uk Many thanks to Julia Sparks for the series of wonderful covers she has been doing. It is much appreciated. Have a good two months. Lindsey Dalgety

Hense Moor Common - Important Notice Hense Moor is one of three large areas of common land in the Parish (with the other two being Hartridge and Luppitt Common). All three areas are privately owned and managed by those with Common Rights attached to their property. All three areas are designated as "Open Access" under the Countryside and Rights of Way Act (2000) which allows people to walk over them on foot. Hense Moor, which is over 200 acres in size, is also a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) due to its rare flora and fauna. It is also being carefully managed through a 10 year Higher Level Stewardship agreement with Natural England. This agreement requires the Commoners to remove non-native plants and manage the area in specific ways in order to encourage the rare flora and fauna. Grazing by cattle is one of the important management tools strongly recommended by Natural England in order to achieve this. In summary, grazing is essential to maintain the special wildlife of Hense Moor so it is important to manage it to get the best results. A review of the grazing has recently been carried out and it has become clear that to get the best from the grazing some of the existing fences will need to be removed or replaced. A proposal to rationalise fencing is being prepared by the Trustees Committee with help from a specialist consultancy called Footprint Ecology. This will need to go to the Planning Inspectorate for approval, in line with legislation on registered commons such as this. Before submitting this plan we are keen to have the views of all those who live close to Hense Moor or who visit it. We have produced a background paper which outlines the proposal and this can be found on the Luppitt village website (www.luppitt.net).

There will also be a ‘drop-in day’ at Luppitt Village Hall on Thursday 28th July between 2pm and 8pm with the opportunity to look at detailed maps and discuss the proposals and give us your views. The Trustees of Luppitt Commons

LUPPITT AND HARTRIDGE COMMONS

"AFTERGRASS"

Commoners with grazing rights on the above Commons, who would like "aftergrass" plots for their cattle or sheep please contact either of the following as soon as possible and not later than the month end - thank you. Mr D Hooper tel: 892969 or Mr D Barlow tel: 42141

Please be aware that Cattle may graze the Commons until 31st October 2011 and sheep until Feb 29th 2012

Have we got a new vicar yet ??

The Church of England moves in a slow and mysterious way! It never

advertises a clergy post until after the previous vicar has left, so it will be autumn before the vacancy will appear in various Church

newspapers. But since Nick retired, much work has been done to prepare for the ultimate selection of a new priest.

There are now five parishes involved: Luppitt, Upottery, Dunkeswell,

Sheldon and Broadhembury. Each has a church council which met with a representative of the Bishop called the Archdeacon. She advised

each Council to consider what sort of vicar they were looking for, and to elect up to two people to join her and Bishop Bob of Crediton in

forming the ultimate selection panel.

Each council, or PCC as it is known, was to list the qualities and talents it considered vital in a new priest, and then the elected

representatives of each were to meet together and agree, what from their individual lists, the essential requirements were thought to be.

Luppitt PCC elected John Arbuthnott and Brian Pulman as our representatives and they will have met with those of the four other

parishes by the time you read this.

Armed with their agreed list of requirements, the various elected reps will then meet with the Archdeacon to finalise matters, with a view to

advertising the post in early September. The hope is to shortlist applicants by the end of September and interview in October.

Assuming there was a suitable candidate to appoint, he or she would be in post, living at the Rectory in Dunkeswell, by early spring 2012 .

There is no guarantee of a suitable candidate. Sometimes applicants

are few, do not fit the bill, or find on reflection they do not wish to live in the West Country – can you believe that? We have to be

prepared to wait until we find the right person. So in the meantime, please pray for the right man or woman to apply and indeed, for each

member of the selection panel in their responsible and difficult task.

Notwithstanding Nick’s departure, the church in Luppitt is still flourishing. Services each week are led either by visiting clergy or by

members of the congregation. Come and join us. You would be very welcome at any time with the bonus of coffee and biscuits after family

services!

Green Light for Devon and Somerset Broadband Bid From the Devon County Council Economy Department I am delighted to let you know that we have secured a major in-vestment of £30million for broadband from Government.

This has been officially announced today and our combined bid with Somerset County Council, backed by Torbay and Plymouth is only one of three going forward nationally at this stage, with Devon gaining the lion share of investment so far. What this represents is fantastic news for the Devon economy, and gives us the support we need to secure additional investment from the private sector to realise our ambition of delivering improved broadband to all by 2015, with at least 85% of premises in Devon receiving superfast broadband.

We are very grateful for the letters of support you supplied to back the bid. Our bid received, the full backing and endorse-ment of the Heart of the South West Local Enterprise Partner-ship and this was critical in achieving this investment. There were no other LEP submissions and this support counted strongly in our favour.

Our next steps are to work hard on getting the best value for money solution that will deliver our ambition through a robust procurement exercise. We are also actively seeking to secure additional resources from Europe and elsewhere to enhance our project, including the Rural Community Broadband Fund. We an-ticipate roll out of improved connectivity will begin in Summer 2012.

Luppitt Cooking

This month try ... ELDERFLOWER CORDIAL I adore elderflower, and now is the time to harvest your flowers and make simple cordial. It couldn’t be easier and it takes no time at all. Simply... zest and slice 2 unwaxed lemons pick 20-30 elderflower heads add 1.5kg of sugar, 2 ltrs of water & 3 teaspoons of citric acid and leave for 48 hrs, then strain and bottle (or freeze in cubes). The recipe isn’t precise and everyone has variations, so don’t worry if you don’t have the right quantities. Bottle it and use it from the fridge, or my favourite, freeze it in ice cubes and add to a glass of water as required (or a glass of gin of course!) For a variation try adding lavender or ginger to the soaking mixture. With thanks to Tracy Bell of The Old Kennels <www.theoldkennels.co.uk>

Our speaker, Mrs Nickie Johnson, guided us through our last theme on Relationships, that is “Faithful Relationships”. She pointed out that Abraham was so faithful to God that he was willing to sacrifice his son. (God is so faithful to us that he did sacrifice His son.) Others mentioned were Issac, Jacob, Moses, Daniel, Joseph and of course Jesus.

Can we be faithful in our relationships?

She listed the qualities of faithfulness – loyalty, devotion, trustworthiness, steadfastness, commitment, dedication and dependability.

Also to love our neighbour as ourselves – we have to love ourselves. We though that for our June meeting we could attend the Flower Festival in Otterton which is 30 June to 3 July. Please check with your various leaders as to the time and transport. Upottery to call Pat Murray, Dunkeswell call Rene and Luppitt Olive Clapp or Margaret Young.

Everyone is invited to our Cream Tea, Tuesday 9 August, at Jean Jones, Hedgend Barton. 2:30-4:30, £2.50 children free. Funds are for Mary Sumner House, our headquarters in London

To the English Plural... We'll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes, But the plural of ox becomes oxen, not oxes. One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese, Yet the plural of moose should never be meese. You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice, Yet the plural of house is houses, not hice. If the plural of man is always called men, Why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen? If I speak of my foot and show you my feet, And I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet? If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth, Why shouldn't the plural of booth be called beeth? Then one may be that, and there would be those, Yet hat in the plural would never be hose, And the plural of cat is cats, not cose. We speak of a brother and also of brethren, But though we say mother, we never say methren. Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him, But imagine the feminine: she, shis and shim! Let's face it - English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant or ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England. We take English for granted, but if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

16

And why is it that writers write, but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham? Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it? If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? Sometimes I think all the folks who grew up speaking English should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane.

In what other language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? We ship by truck but send cargo by ship... We have noses that run and feet that smell. We park in a driveway and drive in a parkway. And how can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out, and in which an alarm goes off by going on. And in closing, if Father is Pop, how come Mother is not Mop? (and if Polish people are Poles, Why aren't people from Holland Holes?) With thanks to May Bowsher for this

Wot no Vicar!! As we enter a period of vacancy without a vicar for our Mission community of Upottery, Luppitt, Dunkeswell and Sheldon some may view this as a problem whilst others may view it as an opportunity. We will certainly miss the ministry that Nick and Marguerite offered, but we are learning to develop as a Christian community and are growing as a result. Your churchwardens, with the help of Karen Davies our administrator, are maintaining a pattern of services throughout the mission community, so it is business as usual. In fact as we invite different people to take our services they bring their own perspective and style which makes for a fresh and varied contrast week by week. As I write this the church is celebrating Pentecost, the coming of the Holy Spirit. Imagine how the first follows of Jesus must have felt; their leader had been killed, their dreams had been shattered and they met in fear. We, with the benefit of hindsight, know the rest of the story. The message continues to spread and people all over the world receive it joyfully, so the Christian church continues to grow. Jesus left his followers with a promise that the Holy Spirit would come to enable them to live out their faith in their community, and also take it to the ends of the earth. Our present vacancy gives us the opportunity and challenge to learn and grow more in our Christian experience that we may do the same. The “ends of the earth” seem a huge challenge but every journey begins somewhere, and ours may be helping a neighbour, talking to someone who is lonely, taking a step to do something we have never done before. But the promise is the same, Jesus has left us help in the form of the Holy Spirit so we have nothing to fear.

Garden Jottings by D.Street

JCS has been with us now for twelve months. After years of having

it all their own way, the rodent population at Catkins has fallen on

hard times, very hard times, I should say. A couple of years ago you could hear them scampering about in the loft at night. They loved the

spongy insulation round the water pipes up there. And the wall along the front was mined with mouse runs. The only times they’re safe

now is when JCS is asleep in the poly tunnel, and that, to tell the truth, is actually pretty often.

So far squirrels have been safe in their oak trees, but glaring feline eyes are fixed upon them. At the moment they think there’re

alright. But JCS has made several determined attempts to climb up to the bird box half way up the oak tree, clawing his way up, legs

splayed out, hanging on where squirrels lightly dance. And as for the squirrel population, there’s been an explosion

there. The peanut holders need filling up two or three times a day. Otherwise it’s the riot act. They come up onto the porch, where

peanuts start their journey - just to find out what’s going on. One had to be shown out of the kitchen last week. The other day I opened

the lid of the feeder, and a tiny hidden squirrel squeaked out in frightened haste.

All over the place there are young squirrels, trying to make sense of a strange, mysterious world of green they’ve suddenly been

thrust into. Breakfast of course is definitely on the menu. That’s Timothy wailing. “ Peanuts? Peanuts? Where are some peanuts?

There’re aren’t any anywhere at all,” running up and down the wrong tree.

“Over here, in this box, dopey drawers. But I haven’t finished yet. Then you put your head in the box, and don’t forget to open the

lid first.” Mrs Nutkins looks round cautiously. “And mind JCS. He’s

got the weirdest sense of fun you ever did see. And don’t get stuck in the box either, like Tinytail the other day.”

The unusually dry warm spring we’ve had this year has brought on some plants; others have suffered. Large red (and pink) oriental

poppies, bearded irises and lupins have flourished. Pink valerian living in our dry stone wall has never done so well. Just where it has

managed to get water from is beyond me. You do however see it a lot growing out of old walls. Arum lilies survived the hard winter, and

have flowered very early. My regal lilies are already coming into flower, weeks earlier than usual

Spring bulbs have not fared so well. Early heat in April was probably not to their liking, and many have not produced good bulbs

for next season. Despite days of dry sunshine the grass has kept green, although

dandelions did go a bit wild on the front lawn. We had green finches, goldfinches, and two brilliant male bullfinches feeding on them.

Now of course it’s started raining. Yesterday was wet. Friday white hail lay over everywhere. Today's wet.

Must be that cold snap we seem to get from June until September.
