Rectory notes February 2021 – ‘The graph of peace’
“Who would like to sketch a graph on the board of Covid cases over
the past year?” the teacher asks. Draw a graph?! In front of every-
one?! But you can probably have a go. So donning your face-mask
and keeping social distance, you sanitise your hands and take the
board marker. You start… A big rise last Spring… a gentler descent…
the flattish summer… and then in the autumn up again – and up, and
up some more…
This graph has become part of our lives. It’s on our TV screens and
internet. The Government wants us to know it. It guides our under-
standing and behaviour. It guides them too. I visualise the Govern-
ment having health indicator graphs splashed over one wall, and eco-
nomic indicators on another. Graphs are good. They convey things
clearly.
But other graphs exist too. More personal graphs. “Now,” the teacher
continues, “on a piece of paper this time… sketch how anxious you’ve
been over the past 12 months. No-one needs to see this, unless you
want them to... Now draw one of how many times you’ve been more
than, say 5 miles, from your home” (‘Or simply beyond my gate,’ you
mutter)… “A graph of the pressures in your household… Your in-
come… How much you’ve spent on junk food…”
National graphs don’t reflect our personal picture. Our own graphs
matter. Away from theimaginary classroom, now sitting at home,
these graphs are our lives.
But only part of our lives. For there are other graphs, uplifting ones.
What would one look like of how much you’ve appreciated family and
friends in the past 12 months? Or your thankfulness for the simple
things in life? Or the diverse yet continual beauty of nature over the
past year? Or the joy in birdsong? You will have your own.
How about – even a graph of God? Can we really venture this?? Why
not. His love – a constant and reliable flat line, infinitely off the scale.
His voice – likewise level, a still word spoken into our storms. His
peace – a stable line midst our wild oscillations.
2
Let us select the graphs we dwell on. Let us draw on St Paul’s
words, ‘The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding,
will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.’ In this time of
fluctuation, may this steady peace be with us all.

Church services February 2021
Sunday services in St Mary’s church continue to be suspended
due to the risks of Covid-19.
Weekly video services continue (20 mins-ish). A YouTube link is
available each Sunday on the EFP website:
https://www.efpchurch.org.uk/
and on the Payhembury Parish Facebook page.
A fun Children’s Church sheet is prepared by Becky Gammon
each week. Contact her or the vicar if you wish to receive this.
The church remains open for private prayer.

Payhembury Church
The church remains open for
silent reflection but please fol-
low the instructions to keep
yourselves safe.
Sadly but not unexpectedly, events
held in and around the church are
still not safe and cannot be held.
Soup lunches will start again just
as soon as possible. The soup
makers have been spending time
in their homes trying out new soup
recipes to tempt you back!
Similarly we will not be holding a
churchyard clean-up in February
but hope to do so again in March.
See next month’s magazine.
The monthly coffee mornings in support of the church are still not
safe to hold.
The church fund raising team are not wasting time. Plans are ready
for an evening with local folk singer, Jim Causley, another bingo
session with Marty, a concert in church, a quiz with Max. Other ide-
as on the back burner are hobby horse racing, a fashion show, terri-
er racing. Our walk around the three churches last October and
treasure hunt in December were both well supported, so this kind of
event could also be repeated. We all look forward to having a full
calendar of events again. Keep your eye on the village website and
the parish magazine for updates on all events.
Thanks to all those who help to raise funds for the church and im-
portantly, to all those who come to support the events.

Everybody welcomes any good news at the moment so we
thought we would share some positive news from the shop with
you this month.
At the top of our good news list is the fact that many of our cus-
tomers and some of our volunteers have been vaccinated. Yes,
we do have some volunteers in their eighties (no names!) and
every one of them is a much-valued member of our team, we
are delighted that they will feel a bit safer now.
The snowdrops are blooming in the hedgerows, the birds are
singing and buckets full of beautiful Cornish daffodils are ap-
pearing outside the shop; all sure signs that Spring is just
around the corner. A bunch or two of daffodils for a friend or
neighbour, or even for yourself, is guaranteed to put a smile on
everyone's face.
We are well prepared for Valentine's Day in the shop with a
good variety of chocolates and wine. Or you could treat your-
selves to a real taste of India with exotic authentic curries made
by Mina at Khushi Kitchen in Kilmington, don't forget the naan
bread and poppadums too. Smooth and creamy Baboo gelato
would make a great dessert. Or instead, you could opt for some-
thing a bit different like Cartwright and Butler salted caramel or
dark chocolate nibs for making special hot chocolate, and a
packet of crumpets so you can get cosy with the one you love.
There are many people in the village who have been working
extra hard whether it be in health care, education or any of the
other vital services. We can't thank every one of you individual-
ly, but we hope that by keeping our shop up and running every
day all our volunteers are doing our bit to support you all and
reduce the need for some extra journeys out of the village.

Village Vaccine Transportation
If you have an appointment for a Covid
vaccination and are worried about how
you’re going to get there there are several
people in the village who have volun-
teered to help with transport. Obviously
neither passengers nor drivers should
have any symptoms on the day. Please
contact me if you’d like some help.

6Halina’s Herb Corner
Hello, my name is Halina Przydatek and I am a Medical Herbalist living in Low-
er Tale.
I would like to regularly share with you how to take advantage of the
medicine cabinet growing outside our back doors in our gardens much in the
same way that our ancestors did. We’ll be identifying the medicinal plants best
harvested each month and which conditions they can be helpful with. I will give
ideas on how to use them as well as preserving and cooking with them.
The plant components that have therapeutic / healing properties are
those which the plant uses for defence against pests and diseases and to heal
itself when injured. Medicinal Herbalist are a bit sneaky; they take the natural
defences produced by the amazing chemical factories that are plants and use
them to treat our ailments in a similar way, after all…. why reinvent the wheel?
Safe, Effective, Efficient, Ethical and Ecologically sound.
That said, most plants do not grow over the December, January, and
February period; and those that do are not medicinally active. Sounds strange
but this is because of the thriftiness of mother nature. Plants expend energy
when they produce these medically active components. In the winter months
many of the herbivores which devour the plants are hibernating; viruses, fungi
and bacteria are also less active than in the warmer months. So if the plant
isn’t being nibbled by hedgehogs for example why use valuable energy to pro-
duce the bitters which deter them?
… so much for having a medicine supply outside our back doors! But
not to worry... Like squirrels we will be building up and storing our herbal reme-
dies though the year as they are in season, ready for use especially in the win-
ter when the pickings are a bit sparse...
But in the meantime, here are some quick tips to help up through this
winter when the coughs, colds etc take hold.
• Good quality Echinacea tincture (a concentrated version of the herb ex-
tracted into a water/alcohol mix) or taken as a tea will improve the bal-
ance and efficiency of our immune systems so reducing the risk of get-
ting infections and improving our response to them.
• Or try making use of commonly available spices that most of us have in
our kitchens, such as Ginger, Cinnamon, Cloves and Turmeric which are
extremely antimicrobial – we can brew up a nice winter toddy using
these delicious spices with a touch of local honey.
• Additionally Elderberries have been shown to affect various stages of the
flu virus infection cycle - elderberry robs, or cordials made up with warm
water, go down as a winter treat especially useful if taken at the first sign
of a cold. You could make a tea using dried elderberries or take a small
amount of elderberry tincture.
Next time we will look at spring cleaning our bodies using
herbs with cleansing and detoxifying properties which grow
prolifically during the spring months, to clear out the winter
detritus and energise us for the rest of the coming year.

8Yellingham Farm – lambing time is on the horizon
Looking forward - March 1st 2021 - the start of lambing and I can’t
wait.
Looking back, the sales of our beautiful lamb over the past few
months has been extraordinary as many local people have supported
us. A huge thank you.
Looking back even further, I remember when we first started selling
our own lamb from the farm. Edward had retired early as Head Chef
at Ascot Racecourse soon after we bought Yellingham and with a
good cook now at home fulltime, he willingly took on the role of break-
fast chef for the B and B, but he needed more to keep him occupied –
not a chance of real retirement yet. It was at this point that I came up
with the idea of butchering and selling our lovely lamb across the farm
gate to increase profit margins. However, I needed to keep my master
plan a secret until I had researched the market. I researched prices,
packaging, labelling, but the ace up my sleeve was a resident butcher
– Edward. Being traditionally trained, he had learnt every trade and
was a competent Fishmonger, Butcher, and Pastry Chef to name a
few.
With 4 new customers I was ready. I selected 6 “finished”
lambs, in other words well grown and of a good weight. The time had
come to hatch my plan and with great enthusiasm I told Edward that
he had been successful in being selected as Master Butcher at
Yellingham Farm. The response was not the one I expected, as he
informed me that he hadn’t butchered in years, couldn’t remember
how to butcher a lamb and that the idea was not a good one. In my
normal tactful manner, I told him that on Monday 6 lambs were being
sent off and by the following Friday 4 needed to be butchered beauti-
fully for my new customers – no argument, just sharpen your knives
and read a butchery book.
Thank goodness I had the foresight to have 6 slaughtered. The
first day of butchery had arrived and I can’t say that the atmosphere
was one of excitement and enthusiasm. As Edward began, I looked
on with trepidation as things were not progressing well - I was tempt-
ed to ask if he knew which end was which, but decided against it! To
cut a long story short, I did end up with 4 beautifully butchered lambs,
the first 2 definitely having been a well needed practice session.
I was so proud delivering my first lambs to my customers. The final
customer of the day was not in when I arrived, but her husband did
the honours of accepting the goods. Later that evening I received a
phone call from said lady. I asked it everything was OK with the lamb
to which she replied:
“No Janet, I am sorry, but I did order a whole lamb”. PTO>
9Bemused I told her that she did have a complete whole lamb.
“No Janet, you have only included 2 legs and a lamb has 4
legs………all the live lambs I have ever seen have got 4 legs”.
Very tactfully I had to tell this dear lady that she was absolutely
right…a LIVE lamb has 4 legs, but when they are no longer LIVE, we
call the front 2 legs shoulders. Bless her heart she was so embar-
rassed but grateful that she had learnt something.
My motto now is…. never assume!
Janet
PS I have attached (see front cover) a drawing I commissioned of
my beautiful dog Jill. If you look very carefully you will see that the art-
ist made a slight mistake on one of them…. 5 legs not 4 – if only!
Bird cake recipe
(adapted with kind permission from Riverford Organics)
Ingredients:
500g lard or similar, softened
200g porridge oats
175g birdseed e.g., sunflower seeds/hearts, niger seed or a mix of both
100g dried fruit e.g., currants, sultanas etc. Chop if larger dried fruit
e.g., apricots
100g bird peanuts, chopped
100g flour
Method:
Mix all the dry ingredients together in a bowl. Add the lard and squidge
it all together. It looks a bit disgusting but the birds will love it!
Form into balls of suitable size for your bird cake feeder, or make small
blocks to place on your bird table. You can also press the mixture into
pine cones to hang from a tree or your bird table.
Watch and wait for the hungry birds to start feeding!
Any leftover mixture shapes can be frozen in freezer containers or yo-
ghurt pots.

10Paul’s Nature Notes
December 2020 / January 2021
As we suffer yet more prolonged lock-downs as a result of the Covid plague I
am left pondering how things have changed from a year ago. Any thoughts of
doing any serious birdwatching in remote parts of the world are very definitely
on hold, as are our winter visits to the River Exe – it is too far away to
drive under present restrictions. This means that we will be unable to enjoy
the magnificent spectacle of hundreds of over-wintering wildfowl, particularly
Teal and Wigeon, and so we now have to confine ourselves to our local patch
for nature watching, in other words our own garden.
More bird feeders have been set up and how the birds have appreciated all the
extra food during the cold weather we have been experiencing. It has been real-
ly interesting to see how the adverse weather conditions have changed the nor-
mal habits of some birds. Coal Tits, for example, normally fly to a feeder, grab a
morsel of food and immediately flit away to eat it under deep cover, this making
it almost impossible to photograph them. Recently we have seen them feeding
in the same spot for several minutes at a time.
The same has also been true of the Long-tailed Tits. They usually arrive in a
small group and spend fleeting moments grabbing a bit of food before flying
away, but they too have been spending much longer at or around the feeders,
that is until the local Sparrowhawk spooks them all. Even pheasants are tamer
than usual, especially when hoovering up all that food which has dropped onto
the ground.
On the other hand the Scandinavian thrushes, by which I mainly mean Field-
fares, remain as skittish as ever. We have seen large flocks on both the Yelling-
ham Farm and Upton loops, but even when they are perched up in the tops of
tall trees they are notoriously difficult to approach, which makes me wonder
why. In India it is so easy to approach many birds very closely. I suspect that
this is because the people are mainly vegetarian and have never persecuted
their wildlife in the same way that so many people do in other parts of the world.
So - just what do those Scandinavians do to make these birds so skittish?
On the other hand, Andrew at Mousehole Farm managed to get a great photo of
a Fieldfare feeding on berries in their garden last autumn….

11Payhembury Weather
www.payhembury-weather.co.uk
Rainfall: December was a wet month with rain most days though no big
storms. In contrast January has started dry and cold with ice on the roads.
Overall in 2020 it was the third wettest year for Payhembury since I have
been recording with 184 mm more than average. 2019 was my record year
since 2007 with 204 mm over the average.
Temperatures: December ended up a bit warmer than average but the last
few days and the first 10 days of the new year were well below average mak-
ing us all wrap up warm for our lockdown walks. It got down to -6.1 degC on
New Year’s day, colder than any day last year. For 2020 in Payhembury the
mean temperature was 2.3 degC above average with the warmest day being
11 August at 31.9 degC and the coldest on 20 January at -4.4 degC.
Sunshine: For sunshine my solar cells on the roof suggest a pretty average
year despite the sunny spring during the first lockdown. The stats and graphs
for 2020 are all on my web site at the address above together with a few
photos of the Xmas lights.
Weather elsewhere: Madrid had accumulations between 20 to 30 cm (8 to
12 inches) of snow on 8th January, resulting in severe traffic disruption. This
was the largest snowfall since 1971. Sweden and Finland are also experi-
encing high snowfall leading to power outages in mid January.

12Devon Climate Emergency Project
The Devon Climate Emergency project aims to create a resilient net-
zero carbon Devon – where people and nature thrive.
In response to the climate emergency, a range of local public, private
and voluntary organisations have put together a plan for our county to
reach net-zero emissions.
The suggested plan includes improving air quality through electrification
of vehicles, home insulation, encouraging healthier lifestyles, availability
of green space and much more.
Implementing this plan will require collaboration between all corners of
our community, and so we are keen to hear what you think. The draft
plan is available now for you to have your say on our net-zero future.

13Bus use survey by Devon County Council - update
You may remember that last summer Chris Burridge-Barney, a graduate
Trainee Transport Planner at Devon County Council, asked people to
complete a survey on bus use in Devon as part of his MSc in Transporta-
tion Planning and Engineering at the University of Southampton. Chris has
now completed his MSc (and passed with a Distinction – congratulations
to him) and has sent an update of his findings. The key takeaway from his
research is probably that financially-supported (subsidised) bus services
in Devon were overall found to generate benefits more than double their
costs to the transport budget, thus representing good value for money. His
results also provide evidence for the beneficial impacts of bus services on
mental and physical health (in 'normal times'), particularly among older
people and those in lower income groups. Chris would like to thank every-
one who took part and provided feedback for his research. He can be con-
tacted via email Chris.burridgebarney@devon.gov.uk, if you wish to make
any suggestions for improving Devon's transport systems which might be
relevant to his role as a Transport Planner at Devon County Council.
Planned road closures – February & March 2021
Devon County Council have an interactive roadworks map which can be
accessed from a link on the following webpage - https://
www.devon.gov.uk/roadsandtransport/live-roadworks-information/. The
map can show current and planned roadworks as well as the dates and
reasons for the work. This map does not always show what actually
happens on the ground, but it can be a guide to upcoming roadworks,
with the caveat that things can change at short notice (especially the
dates of the work). With that in mind the following list of planned road
closures affecting the parish in February & March 2021 should be taken
as indicative rather than confirmed:
1) 2nd February 2021 – the road from Spence Cross to Lower Cheriton
Cross and the road from The Forge to The Haven – replacement of BT
poles.
2) 28th February – 1st March – resurfacing work between Colestocks
Cross and Feniton.
3) 21st-22nd March – resurfacing work near Feniton Station.
14Two of the roadworks advised in the January Parish Paper (15th-19th
February 2021 – the road from Payhembury Cross to Markers Park and
9th-19th March 2021 – road past Blue Moors, from Colestocks Cross to
Higher Cheriton – both for a new electricity supply) have already been
done.

Saving Devon’s Treescapes – where can we plant more trees?
Devon's treescapes are stunning and crucial habitats for so much wildlife,
but they are under threat from ash dieback which is estimated to kill at
least 90% of Devon’s ash trees in the coming years. It will affect everyone,
but everyone can be part of the solution. Devon Wildlife Trust (DWT) are
leading on fighting ash dieback on behalf of the Devon Ash Dieback Resili-
ence Forum. They are looking for Devon's communities to get involved to
help to save Devon's precious treescapes. For more information, please
see https://www.devonwildlifetrust.org/what-we-doour-projects/saving-
devons-treescapes. Further information on ash dieback can be found at https://
www.devon.gov.uk/environment/ash-dieback
DWT are supporting local communities across the county to plant and nur-
ture thousands of replacement trees. These won’t be ash trees, but they
will be of other native Devon species including oak, field maple, aspen,
lime, beech, birch and hazel. DWT have held a number of Free Tree Give-
away sessions for individuals to collect trees, including one at Sidmouth
Garden Centre last October, and more are planned. They are also looking
to work with communities to identify places where more trees can be plant-
ed – either individual trees or in larger groups of trees. As part of this the
Parish Council are looking for suggestions for potential locations within the
parish where some of these replacement native trees could be planted. Do
you have a space where a tree could be planted? Can you think of places
that might benefit from one or more new trees? Have you spotted potential
sites as you walk around the parish? If you have any suggestions please
can you let the Parish Council know via payhemburypc@googlemail.com.
Many thanks.

15Free kids activities
Working around kids isn’t easy! I thought I’d share some of the free re-
sources I’ve found useful recently.
Oxford Owl (https://home.oxfordowl.co.uk/) has a tonne of printable activi-
ty sheets for primary aged children. There’s everything from maths sheets
to comic book templates, colouring in sheets, story prompts and puzzles.
You’ll find wildlife themed quizzes and memory games on the National Ge-
ographic Kids website: www.natgeokids.com. There are also loads of pri-
mary resources, eg ‘Tutankhamun’s Treasure Resource Kit’ and fact-files
on significant people from history, such as Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King
and Anne Frank.
The Science Museum Group’s web-
site is worth a look. As you’d expect,
there are plenty of science experi-
ments to try (if you have the energy,
which I don’t!), but there are lots of
other activities as well. Lucas loved
the Total Darkness game, which is a
‘choose your own adventure’ style
computer game with an educational
twist. You can also take part in a
virtual school trip to the Science Mu-
seum in London and create new levels on a simple computer game.
https://learning.sciencemuseumgroup.org.uk/resources.
Orchard Toys has lots of printables on its website. They’re mainly aimed
at young children, up to around seven. There are jigsaws, colouring in
sheets, simple games and so on. www.orchardtoys.com
Paignton Zoo is running live video lessons and has created lots of down-
loadable activities, some of which are linked to the National Curriculum
(eg the zoo during WW1). www.paigntonzoo.org.uk
Other decent sites include:
