pened. This second one is also very intense –
but it seems to be more about squeezing out
all that intensity, everyone left drained, all
their human failings and confusion exposed.
The crimes are just the means to portray that
end.
There's no mention of real faith or spiritual understanding. Even the vicar can seem
rather inept. But perhaps the last episode next
week will be quite different. Can't at the moment see a sunrise of happiness on its way!
But doesn't Lent have a darkness in its
character? It begins with ashes – ‘ashes to
ashes, dust to dust’. It's about being realistic
– about our mortality, our inadequacies, our
imperfections, and how far can we deal with
such impossibilities. It descends towards
Good Friday where, on the cross, cruel and
self-centred humanity is fully exposed, together with the consequences we inflict on
each other and our world.
We would even destroy God if we
could. But then come the eggs, signalling the
defeat of the ashes. The phoenix celebrates.
It bursts out of the cold egg of death with
promises of new life and new beginnings.
And not merely promises – but power; the
power to end the past, leave it behind and start
afresh. No – not by my power nor by your
power….but…
Thought for the Month
Ash to Eggs
I'm writing this on Ash Wednesday. We have
a service this evening. I said to someone we
might have coffee afterwards. The response we could but most won't stay. Why? People
would be wanting to get home to watch ‘Wolf
Hall’ on TV!
What a dark serial that is. But life was
like that then – dark, very dark if you were
not on King Henry's side. The rooms were
dark too – atmospheric in candlelight.
(Anyone recognise the room in Cothay Manor
used by Thomas Cromwell?) The whole
drama broods with the tensions of historic disagreements.
I don't know how accurate it all is, history-wise. It feels as if some pretty good research has been done into Tudor life and politics. I'm reading Hilary Mantel's book ‘Wolf
Hall’ at the moment and it's interesting how
often she quotes lines from the tele version.
The facts seem to ring true but one can't be
quite sure about the characters of the people,
one never can.
The whole atmosphere is filled with religious innuendo. Being about the struggles
of the Reformation, one would expect that,
voiced as high theology or as colloquial prejudice. Educated as a Catholic, Hilary sadly
lost her faith at the age of twelve. One wonders why. Rather young to come to such a
conclusion, maybe. But she knows her stuff
and shows a grasp of what being Christian is
about.
There's another dark serial just coming
to an end – ‘Broadchurch’ the sequel. The
first series was about the murder of a young
boy, it went on to reveal the powerful emotions in the village where the tragedy hap-
"Put your hand in the hand of the man who
stilled the water…."
He brings light into the darkness of your own
‘Wolf Hall’, and sanity and direction into the
confusion of your own ‘Broadchurch’.
Leave behind the ash which stands for
death. Take on the egg which brings new life!

Preschool News
Ofsted Inspection
We’re delighted to announce that Preschool’s
recent Ofsted Inspection (January 2015) was
rated ‘good’. These are some of the key findings:
 The quality of teaching is consistently
good with a strong emphasis on supporting
the children’s language and communication
skills.
 Staff are very successful in supporting
children’s personal, social and emotional development.
 Staff provide good support so that children
gain confidence and are emotionally secure.
The preschool has an ethos of learning
with nature. This means children have a
really good understanding of the natural world
and enjoy being outdoors.
To read the full inspection report, type
in ‘Stawley Under Fives Preschool’ at
www.reports.ofsted.gov.uk Well done to the
staff and committee who work very hard to
make the Preschool the wonderful place that it
is.

75th Anniversary Concert
On Saturday 28 March Laurence Blyth will be
conducting Wellington Choral Society’s 75th
Anniversary Concert with performances of
Felix Mendelssohn’s Hymn of Praise and of
excerpts from Messiah, at St John’s Church,
Wellington.
The performance is at 7.30pm and tickets (£12 for adults, free for under 18s ) may be
obtained from Nurtured by Nature, South
Street, Wellington, from the Taunton Information Centre at Taunton Library, from choir
members, on the door, or online at
www.wellingtonchoralsociety.org.uk.
A History of Wellington Choral Society
is being produced to commemorate the Anniversary, and will be on sale at the concert.
There will also be an exhibition of archive
material, tracing the Society’s origins back to
the foundation of the Wellington Harmonic
Society in 1871.
Gruffalo Trail
The Gruffalo Trail at Haldon Forest was a
great outdoor adventure for the children, one
which they enjoyed with Stawley School.
They eagerly found The Gruffalo characters in
amongst the woodland plants and their faces
lit up when they discovered the huge gruffalo
at the end of the walk! They were amazed to
see he had all the same features (the knobbly
knees, the turned out toes… you know the
rest!) as the one they’ve been discovering in
the story.

The rooks are starting to repair their
nests but not with too much effort as yet, and
the moles are cleaning and extending their
runs ready for the breeding season. I expect
you’ve got plenty of new mole hills on your
lawn!
Catkins have extended to release their
pollen and pussy willows have their white soft
flowers out.

In Memoriam
To night the winds begin to rise
And roar from yonder day;
The last red leaf is whirl’d away,
And rooks are blown about the skies;
The forest crack’d, the water curl’d,
The cattle huddled on the lea;
And wildly dash’d on tower and tree
The sunbeam strikes along the world.

Early February: The Roe deer around Appley are sporting their newly grown antlers.
These are extraordinary structures, superficially like horns but shed each year, the succeeding year’s crop usually being larger than
the last, at least until the animal is past it’s
prime. Initially, antlers are covered with a
skin and fine hairs, known as velvet, which
dies and falls away when they are grown.
Why deer’s antlers are produced and fall off is
not known, as cows and goats – their close
relatives – do not shed their horns.
Roe deer are a mid-brown colour with a
white rump and are a native British species.
They are typically found in small groups on
the edge of woodland and are the most numerous deer in Britain.
Roe deer mate in July and August and
the implantation of the egg is delayed until
December; the young being born the following May or June. The kids are left in the
scrub and are suckled 2 or 3 times a day.
T.S. Elliot called February to March
‘the dark time of the year – between melting
and freezing’, which seems to sum up the last
few weeks of weather. But on 14th February
my pond was ‘alive’ with croaking frogs all
busily mating and spawning, so let’s hope the
frogs have a good year.
Most of the birds have started to sing
again and I expect you will hear the chaffinches. The chaffinch song is a spirited one
with a vigorous string of short, cheerful
sounding notes, then a slower string of notes
finishing with a brisk twirl.

CstG informed the Councillors that TDBC
had published its draft Site Allocations and
Development Management Plan, which sets
out the Council’s detailed policies for implementing the adopted Core Strategy. He drew
attention to a number of policies that could be
relevant in the Parish, including policies relating to the approval of permanent and temporary agricultural dwellings in the countryside.
The draft plan would be subject to independent examination during 2015 and should be
formally adopted at the end of the year.
Stawley Parish Council
Minutes of the meeting held at Appley
Pavilion on Tuesday 3rd February 2015
Present: Clive Wall, Chairman, Simon
Buttars (SB), Charles St George (CStG), Paul
Musgrove (PM), Sally Freeman, Clerk and
Michael Parkinson
Apologies
Apologies: PCSO Louise Fyne 6945, Charlie
Dunn. The Chairman noted the apologies.
Police Report
No local issues to report.
Footpaths
Michael Parkinson (Chairman, RCI) talked to
the Councillors about updating and republishing the walks leaflet, which was originally
printed 12 years ago. The RCI had produced
an initial 500 copies and were fortunate to obtain a ‘Health and Wellbeing’ Grant from
Councillor James Hunt. It aims to produce
two further leaflets, one for Ashbrittle and one
for Bathealton. Sign boards will need to be
erected, showing the distance, time allowed,
calories consumed, archaeology and wildlife
interest. There is a plan to run guided walks
once a month in the summer, using qualified
guides. The Grant should cover all expenditure for one year.
Planning Permission may be needed for
the sign boards. Hopefully, they will mostly
be situated on Council-owned verges, but any
needing to be placed on private land will require the permission of the landowner. It was
suggested that donations be invited for the
leaflets, which will be placed in the shop and
local pubs. SB suggested putting an emblem
on the current footpath signs. The Council
thanked Mr. Parkinson and the RCI for this
update and asked to be kept informed.
Minutes of the Last Meeting
The Council agreed that the minutes of the
last meeting (January) and also the minutes of
the Extra Ordinary Meeting on the 19th January, were a true record and were signed by the
Chairman.
Matters Arising
None.
The Globe Inn – Community Asset. CstG
reported that he had had one response thus far,
in support of nominating The Globe. A decision will be made at the March meeting and
therefore any Parishioners wishing to comment should contact him before then. After
nomination it is an 8 week decision process by
TDBC.
Planning
Appley Orchard Farm – CW told the Councillors that all six applications were approved
with conditions.
The Councillors discussed the recent
Planning Committee meeting which CstG,
The Chairman and Clerk attended.
CstG suggested that, in order to avoid
confusion, the Parish Council should respond
to all future applications in one of the following ways:- Support, Object, Comment or No
Comment and to vote if necessary. All Councillors agreed to this future strategy.
35/14/0027LB – Cothay Manor, Cothay, Ancillary Accommodation. The Council discussed and decided it had no comments to
make.

Website
PM and the Clerk provided an update on what
could be achieved, if we upgraded the current
website, to be more useful to parishioners.
PM agreed to do further investigation and report at the March meeting.
The Clerk suggested inviting parishioners to subscribe to having an email update of
any useful information i.e. Agenda, Extra Ordinary Meetings and urgent Police issues in
the Area. It was agreed to adopt this strategy
in the hope of keeping parishioners better informed.
The Kittisford
Pudding Club
Roads
SB and the Council expressed their sincere
thanks to Steve Swan, for refurbishing the salt
bins positioned around the Parish. He had
done so in his own time and had refused remuneration.
The salt bin on top of Bullockfield Hill
had gone missing. SB to investigate and replace if necessary.
SB reported that the ‘No HGV’ sign at
Appley Cross was due to be repaired this
week.
SB agreed to investigate with the Highways Agency, the viewing aspect of the entrance to Appley Orchard Farm.

Full Steam Ahead for the 10 Parishes Festival
The 10 Parishes Festival, held every two years in and around Wiveliscombe in September, is a
major showcase for over 100 artists, craftspeople and community organisations. Artists need to
register before the end March for the Festival, if they want to appear in the 15,000 printed
guides that go out across Somerset, East Devon and on the Festival website.
Festival Director Pauline Homeshaw said, ‘We were delighted with the turnout at the meeting on 9th January and the large number of new creatives who want to be involved this
year’. Venues have been wonderfully inventive over the years – from a garage showroom to a
converted barn, a garden shed to a pub, as well as rooms in artists’ own homes. There is help for
artists and craftspeople without an exhibition venue as yet.

Appley Cross W.I.
Appley Pavilion & Ashbrittle Arts,
Valentine’s Night 2015
A Take Art event
After the business meeting, our speaker Mr.
Tony Burges gave his talk on 'Exeter through
the ages'. He began by giving a summary of
the history of Exeter from the Romans B.C. to
the present day. He then presented slides of
various interesting places in Exeter.
He began by showing how Exeter
looked in Roman times; 75% of the Roman
wall still exists today. The original Cathedral
was very small and was burnt down by the
Vikings. The Normans built a larger one on
the same site but only the two Norman Towers remain. In 1112 the Bishop went to Salisbury and saw the cathedral there and returned
to have the cathedral in Exeter demolished to
window sill height. He then had the present
cathedral built with flying buttresses, which
together with the two Norman Towers, support the roof.
Mr Burges showed us many interesting
things to see around Exeter and told us about
the weir built by Isabella de Fortibus, Countess of Devon in 1286 and why the canal was
built. The Guildhall in Exeter is 800 years old
and open to the public most days and well
worth a visit.
Mr. Burges is one of the Exeter 'Red
Coat' guides. The guides are located just opposite the Cathedral and one can go there and
join any group and have a half-hour tour of
Exeter, free of charge.
After this interesting and informative
talk we all felt we would view Exeter very
differently on our next visit. The meeting on
10th March will be back to the usual time of
7.30 pm. when Mrs. Vivienne Duncan will be
speaking about 'Street Pastors'.
We meet every second Tuesday of the
month at Bathealton Village Hall at 7.30 pm.
New members are always welcome
Casanova was a beautifully staged play with
Pip Utton’s script and spoken word complemented by Marguerite Chaigne’s evocative
contemporary dance.
Pip created a Casanova nearing the end
of his life, living in Bohemia as a librarian,
writing his memoirs and dreaming of the
women he has loved and left and the ones
who had broken his heart!
Pip developed his character, warts and
all; from his first conquests in a Venice
priest’s household to his romps across 1750’s
Europe as his name became synonymous with
‘womaniser’. Along the way Pip’s Casanova
met royalty, popes, cardinals and contemporaries such as Voltaire, Goethe and Mozart.
Fame, fortune, prison and exile followed
him through his many careers; lawyer, clergyman, military officer, violinist, con man,
pimp, gourmand, dancer, businessman, diplomat, spy, politician, medic, mathematician,
social philosopher, cabalist, playwright and
writer! At the same time finding the energy
to seduce half the women in Europe!!
Pip’s stories were graphic, funny, touching and thought provoking and Marguerite
provided the perfect foil interpreting six of his
most famous and memorable conquests with
music and dance.
Many thanks to everyone who supported
Casanova, we had a great turn out on the
night.
Take Art continues to provide local venues,
(such as the Pavilion and Ashbrittle Village
Hall), with access to fantastic theatre, music
and dance performers. We are lucky that
there is still enough ‘subsidy’ to allow us to
have the confidence to book an act without the
worry of covering the true cost from ticket
sales. Take Art sponsored acts never fail to
fulfil the promise of a professional evening’s
entertainment, please go to their website
www.takeart for details of the current programme.
Well done Take Art and thank-you.
