We will call for two or three people once a month, normally around the 28th or 29th and arrange a time for an exciting afternoon’s exercise! It is good to see the contributions coming in and the wider the variety the better (up to a point). One suggestion that has been made and which would be interesting to follow up is for a regular feature entitled “A Day in the Life of………”. The dots would be replaced by one of the following: farmer, builder, airline pilot, housewife/husband, priest, teacher, pupil, soldier, airman, brewer, landlord, policeman, magistrate, company director; this is just a random selection, I could go on for a long time listing the enormous variety of occupations plied by those of us living in Poulshot.

Contributions could be anonymous, cover about a page or so and if necessary combine different tasks and aspects of different days in the same week. No literary expertise is needed – it is the detail that is important, what is involved, what the problems can be, what the good things are as well as the bad things – anything really – but your own story. It would be nice to start with the first instalment in the August issue and I will welcome any volunteer(s) who will start the ball rolling. If there are no volunteers then I shall have to start to apply pressure!

At the meeting there will be a full progress report on the Green Gardens Woodland and, in addition to Trust members, all are welcome to attend to hear how it is developing. GREEN GARDENS WOODLAND In recent weeks there has been a general weedkilling programme by Duncan Tonge from Rowde, which will be followed soon by an assault on the nettles and docks around the trees themselves. Also, James Collett and Simon Franklin have agreed to cut back the brambles that fill the hedges. 3 �This will make it much easier for mowing, which is being carried out so splendidly by Nicky Hunloke and Tim Gravina, to whom many thanks. Although these are early days in the development of new trees, it is remarkable that losses, some eighteen months after planting, are only 20 out of the 1,200 planted. Fingers need to remain firmly crossed! Village Groups, Clubs & Societies ST PETER’S CHURCH, POULSHOT The Rector writes… What do we really value? Even to the committed political party supporter and voter it may all have become quite confusing and difficult to see clearly the values and intentions of each political party as we draw near to the General Election! Each party, both established traditional ones and new ones, claim to have everyone’s best interest at heart, whether their particular current issue is immigration, schools, health or anything else. Each party produces its publicity, sends parliamentary candidates to canvas around the country, holds press conferences and public interviews, places boards and posters up and down roads and lanes, all in order to convince people to vote for them. One important question may be to ask whichever party wins the election will they keep their promise and fulfil their manifesto when they get into power and form the government? Will we really know their values and intentions? In recent months several senior Church leaders have begun to offer opinions on how to choose the political party for whom we should vote, not necessarily to direct our vote in one direction or the other, but to offer particular values that they think important when considering the election issue. But how do we all feel deep within us? Do we know what we really value? My thoughts are less to do with which particular party any of us may feel answers our questions, shares our values and thus gets our vote, but more to do with how we get to make that decision within ourselves! What do we really value? What matters day to day? What matters in our community and in our homes? What matters to each deep down? To know the answers to these questions may help us make decisions on issues on a larger scale. Jesus Christ offers such simple values by which to know God and to care for one another. He does not force or insist but gently is here for us to get to know. His simple command is to love God (to get to know Him better) and to love our neighbour (which means being like Jesus to one another). Accounts in the Gospels show Him sharing His life with people 4 POULSHOT MOTHERS & TODDLERS GROUP at The Village Hall, Poulshot POULSHOT VILLAGE HALL Come and join us for some company toys and games to play with coffee and a chat Held every Thursday from 9.30am to 11.30am Available for Meetings, Functions, Clubs and Private Parties £4.00 per hour (for regular users) £5.00 per hour (for non-regular users) Tel: Nicky Baber 828573 29 �DOLMAN AUDIO VISUAL Berhill’s Lane Farm, Sells Green, Melksham Telephone 01380 828524 We know HI FI TELEVISION VIDEO DVD literally inside out For personal service and a professional repair to any make of product, ancient or modern, please telephone Maggie or Peter who others would never go near, talking with those others would ignore, forgiving those others would punish and dismiss, placing the value of feelings of the heart before rules and regulations… He shares our lives and changes it too.

PATRICK HARRIS 1926 - 2005 Patrick was one of the dwindling number of people whose home has always been in Poulshot. Born and brought up at Church Farm, he was busy there helping with the numerous jobs which go to make up every day on a farm. He lived with, and was dependent on, his parents, then his father. In more recent years with brother Ted and Grace, and most recently with Grace helped by her daughters Di and Chris. Their love and care enabled his last years to be spent in the home he had always known. And the service we attended today, a thanksgiving for his quiet life, was in St Peter’s Church, which he must have seen nearly every day of his life. Nora Dixon, 18 April 2005 CHURCH NOTES Competition marks will be awarded on an age related basis. A cheque for £25 will be awarded to the winning village in each category (Small, Medium and Large villages) and an additional £5 to the overall winning village. These cheques will be given to the Parish Council to be spent on the artists as they see fit. Each of the four winning artists will be presented with a mug. 26 Annual Parochial Church Meeting The Annual Church Meeting was held on Monday 11th April in St Peter’s Church. The Rector highlighted the previous year in the life of the Church commenting on how it has been a ‘settling in period’ both for herself within the Benefice and for the congregation in getting to know a new Rector. 7 �The pattern of Sunday services has changed slightly over the year but the attendance has remained constant. Festival services, i.e. Harvest and Christmas Carols, continue to attract a higher than average number and this is encouraging. The Financial situation of the Church showed again that it is a never ending problem to find funds to cover adequately all the work which needs to be done. We are very fortunate with the level of giving in the parish, but with the amount of our ‘share’ continuing to increase each year it is still not easy to make money available for all the work that our Church needs, in order to keep it in good order. Urgent work to the Porch and the Bell Tower is due to commence on 31st May. Brian James and John Quinn agreed to stand again as Churchwardens and were duly elected and, under new legislation which came into force in 2002 introducing a rolling term of office for members of the PCC, the following were elected: Nicky Hunloke Rupert Janes Paulette Bremner-Milne Nigel Blenkarne Angela Bullen 3 years 2 years 2 years 1 year 1 year Lady Kate Hunloke and Mrs Janet James were re-appointed to serve as representatives on the Deanery Synod. Grateful thanks were given to all who contribute to the life of St. Peter’s in whatever way, doing jobs which go unheralded but nevertheless are important in the everyday running of the Church. May Day Bank Holiday On Monday, May 2nd the Church will be manning its traditional stall down at the Wharf in Devizes as part of the Lions’ May Day celebrations. The usual fare of cakes, plants, books, etc. will be on sale, so if you have any produce which you may like to donate, please see either of the Churchwardens, or any member of the PCC. Then come along on the day and share in the May Day celebrations - and maybe purchase an item from St Peter’s stall! Church Fabric Report The maintenance work carried out in February and March 2004, to improve the lighting generally has proved to have been very successful. Tidying up the wiring to the heating system has clearly upgraded signifi8 25 �cantly the safety aspects of the church’s electrical installation but has had no noticeable effect on the warmth of the building. This has only been made more acceptable by leaving heaters switched on for longer before services, with the inevitable increase in electricity charges. The only work of note carried out in 2005 has been to the north east wall of the church yard which was collapsing as a result of subsidence, ivy growth, failing mortar and the weight of previously moved grave stones that were leaning against the wall. The latter have now been moved to a temporary site prior to relocation, the ivy cleared and the trees inside the wall pollarded. The wall itself has been largely rebuilt thanks to the efforts of Mr and Mrs Les Urda and Mr and Mrs Ian Stewart who FOLLOWING THE ALDHELM WAY IN 2005 How does a skeleton call his friends?

And raising over £2,000 for Elizabeth Lodge Residential Home for Physically and Mentally Handicapped. A big THANK YOU for the generous sponsorship we have received Jean, Thomas, Samuel, Jack and James 24 With the whole of the diocese, our benefice are planning to join with parishes, schools and communities across the diocese to take part in an exciting mission project called “The Aldhelm Way”. Saint Aldhelm was a teacher evangelist and Abbot of Malmesbury, who was appointed the first Bishop of Sherborne in 705 AD. 2005 is therefore, the 1300th anniversary of his consecration. To celebrate this important date, the diocese has organised a series of special events including a 5 day pilgrimage which will culminate in an outdoor celebration on 4th June, at St Aldhelm’s Head near Swanage in Dorset, with the Archbishop of Canterbury as guest preacher. Here in our benefice we are planning to support this event by arranging a coach or minibus on 4th June, in order that you can either join in the walk, or just partake in the celebration at St Aldhelm’s Head to hear the Archbishop preach. Let’s make it a special day by taking a picnic lunch and praying for good weather. Names of interested people to the Rector (828615) or Audrey McDonald (828376) by the end of April. have done the work, very professionally, in their spare time. Mrs Urda and Mrs Stewart are the daughters of Mrs Harris, the long-standing owner and resident of Church Farm. The work should be completed this summer. Efforts have otherwise been devoted to planning and obtaining funding and a faculty to enable the South Porch to be underpinned and repaired, and this work, together with various other repairs to drainage, masonry and roofs is scheduled to start on 31st May 2005. The work will not 9 �interrupt the regular service schedule, although services will be held in the Chancel and access will be through the Chancel door only. During the period that the builders will be on site the church will not be open to visitors and a notice will be displayed to that effect. Attempts to raise from grants the money necessary to refurbish the bells have so far failed, although a certificate of approval for the work proposed has been granted by the Diocesan Advisory Committee. The PCC agreed that the project should be put on hold for the time being. Churchyard Thank you to all who volunteered for the Grass Cutting Rota during the summer. It is often commented by both the congregation and by visitors that the churchyard is always well kept and attractive. This is only possible because of the willingness of our ‘Holy Gardeners’. Once again, thank you very much. POULSHOT LADIES CLUB Mixing with Magistrates The April meeting of the Ladies Club gave us a very challenging evening. There are no fewer than 3 magistrates (Justices of the Peace) in the village: Sally Hawkins, Philip Henshaw and M-G Brothers. Two of them were in evidence! Sally Hawkins sat with us, while M-G and her colleague, Robin Salmon, guided us through the evening. They began by giving us a short quiz on the history of the magistrate. Did you know, for example, that the magistracy started as far back as the 14th century? Or that 97% of all crimes start and end in the magistrates’ court? We had a lot to learn! We were then given an overall view of the work of JPs, their duties, their varied backgrounds and how they are chosen, their work schedule, the fact that three must sit together at any one time and their powers of sentencing. The second part of the evening was even more rigorous! We were divided into 3s and asked to act as a ‘bench’ to decide the fates of 3 criminals. We were given guidelines on how to sentence and then were given the facts of each case. After a few minutes of intense discussion, each bench in turn was asked what it would do with each case. It was fascinating to hear how differently each ‘bench’ reacted and to hear the variety of sentences passed. Some were prepared to let them off with an absolute discharge, others thought a heavy fine would do the trick but others, no names, no 10 23 �DEATH OF AN OLD FRIEND Today we are mourning the sad death of a very old friend by the name of Common Sense, someone who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were lost long ago in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valued lessons as knowing when to come in out of the rain, why the early bird gets the worm and that life isn’t always fair. Common Sense lived by simple sound financial policies (don’t spend more than you earn) and reliable parenting strategies (adults, not kids, are in charge). His health began rapidly to deteriorate when overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a six year old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teenagers suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition. It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer aspirin to a student. However they could not inform the parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion. Finally Common Sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband, churches became businesses, and criminals received better treatment than their victims. Common Sense finally gave up the ghost after a woman failed to realised that a steaming cup of coffee was hot, spilled a drop on her lap, and was awarded a huge settlement. Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust; his wife Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason. He is survived by two stepbrothers, My Rights and Ima Whiner. Not many attended his funeral because so few realised he was gone. If you still know him pass this on, if not do nothing. 22 pack drill, would have put them in prison and thrown away the key! We will have to make sure we obey the Poulshot speed limit if they ever get to be JPs! We all thoroughly enjoyed the evening and many thanks to M-G for arranging it. Tuesday 17th May – Visit to The Courts at Holt We have arranged to visit the National Trust property, The Courts, at Holt. The total cost will be £5 per person for the guided tour which will last about one and a half hours (Trust members will only need to pay £1). Please bring husbands or friends, and give your names to Paulette (828527) if you wish to join us. The visit has been booked to start at 7.30pm so we need to be there a little beforehand. If you wish to share lifts, please be at The Raven car park by 6.50pm, otherwise make your own way there. For those who are not sure where to go, head towards the middle of Holt village and you will find a shop on the right, turn right after the shop and park in the Village Hall car park. The Courts entrance is opposite the shop. Arrangements have also been made for a light meal afterwards (at £4 per head) in a local pub but this needs to be booked in advance. If you wish to eat, please let Paulette know as soon as possible (828527) June Meeting We are hoping to arrange a theatre visit or something similar.

WILTSHIRE NUMISMATIC SOCIETY The Society held its first meeting of the year in Poulshot Village Hall on 21st March. The occasion was a Coin Auction, with 67 lots, together with a number of interesting other artefacts, such as books, mugs, paper money, and philatelic first-day covers. As usual, some lots were not sold but there was good bidding on many items, the highest price paid being £65 for a 1913 Sovereign, a bargain considering the current high price of gold. The auction raised £31 for society funds, and the raffle made £20. It was a 11 �very well attended and successful meeting. Michael Bowden The first article on CHEESE IN POULSHOT appeared in the April 2005 edition of the Poulshot Village News. CHEESE FROM POULSHOT MAKING AND MARKETING Nora Dixon SUPPORT THE WILTSHIRE AIR AMBULANCE Making Briefly: how did they make cheese? The cows were milked twice a day, the temperature of the milk raised to 90º F and rennet added. The curds were broken up and the whey taken off, and the curds were then put into a cheesecloth to be pressed in the cheese press. This was a container with a disc on top and with weights, and perhaps a screw to press the cheese in order to squeeze out the remaining whey. The cheeses were then shelved, turned frequently and finally taken to the cheeses room above to mature, again with occasional turning. ON Marketing For many centuries, a weekly market for cheese existed in Devizes. A Cheese Cross is referred to in early records, although its location is not known. The rent of the Cheese Hall for 1¼ years in the eighteenth century was £15. When the new (and present) Town Hall was built in 1808, a Cheese Hall was included on the ground floor. Its island location allowed for ‘carts bringing cheeses on the west side to face south, and those collecting cheeses on the east to face north’. There were also cheese markets in Chippenham and Marlborough, but much cheese from Poulshot may have been sold locally through the cheese factor, who arranged a price with the farmer and then collected and sold the cheese. No detailed records have been found and the cheese market in Devizes had ceased by 1903. A sad news item was reported in the Salisbury Journal of 24th August 1918. Two German prisoners of war died when they were overcome by fumes at Great Cheverell. A pump used to pump whey from a whey pit to the piggeries failed and they went down to collect it in buckets. In 1932, at the County Dairy School at Townsend Farm in Poulshot, a course of lectures was given by Mrs Bull, County Instructor of Wiltshire, on dairying generally, particularly with regard to government regulations, but including soft cheese making. Decline of Cheese Making During the nineteenth century more cheaply factory-made cheese was being imported. In 1862 the opening of the direct railway line from Devizes to London meant that not only could cheese be brought in, but also that whole milk could be transported to London relatively easily, although prices could not be guaranteed. In 1933 the government set up the Milk Marketing Board with guaranteed prices 12 WEDNESDAY 22ND JUNE 2005, FROM 6.P.M.

Some moved away, selling their houses as residences. The land was used by other farmers but now, in 2005, there are only three working dairy farms left; one farmhouse is associated with the farm but not used by the farmer and four more are occupied by the families who have farmed from them. One farmhouse has been demolished and from another is run a milk distribution business. The remaining houses are occupied by people who work outside the village or who are retired. These old houses hold secrets in their fabric of a period of village prosperity in the nineteenth century – and of a ‘forgotten harvest’.

These include trips to Danywenallt by Year 5, West- Year 5 listened to La Mer by Debussy whilst writing about the sea La Mer The sea is bright, bold, and big. It sparkles emerald green in the night. But when the wind consumes the sea theres a crash! A bash as the rock falls. The mountains crumble under the power of the sea. But then its calm. Ships pass near the shore, but will the sea take the ships to be never seen again? You may think you know the sea or does it know you. With a plunge - a creak! The sea shows you. Why? It’s so big. The storm screams! Birds fly. Dolphins scatter through the night. The sea. In the morning after the storm the sea is asleep. The waves ripple along the shore. Around the sea the air is tinted with salty fish. Divers dive, oceans deep. They find beautiful shells. The sea is beautiful, soft, and strong. The sea at night can chill you to the bone. You may call the sea the Atlantic or Indian but it knows its real name - the Sea. But the sea is the sea. Nothing more, Nothing less. The sea. The sea.

We are delighted to welcome Miss Sharam, who has taken over from Mrs Courage as Form One Teacher. Miss Sharam is a very experienced infant teacher, and a talented artist. In addition to teaching Form One, Miss Sharam is also running an after school art club, where other pupils can benefit from her expertise. We have many exciting events happening this term. In May Mrs Parry will be taking Form U6 for a residential week in Barton Hall, where the children will undertake a wide variety of activities, including abseiling, raft building and orienteering. Other trips include a visit to Wilton House for Forms 4 and 5, whilst the older children will be taken to Portsmouth where they will visit the Mary Rose exhibition, and listen to a talk from a diver involved in the excavation of the ship. They will also tour the HMS Victory and take a boat trip round the docks. In June the children’s author, Simon James will visit the school, to talk about the creative processes involved in creating a story book such as his popular picture book, “Dear Greenpeace”. The children are looking forward to participating in our packed sports programme, which includes Tag Rugby, Rounders, Cricket and Football matches against neighbouring schools, and of course the highlight of our sporting calendar, Sports Day, which is always an enjoyable and wellsupported event, weather permitting! Music continues to occupy a prominent place in the curriculum, and the children are now enjoying the benefits of a purpose built music room. The upper school are beginning to prepare for their concert in July, which will include performances by the Chamber Choir, Junior Choir and the orches14 Hardy Perennials Perennials in profusion—old and new varieties for all seasons Rowde Mill Nursery—Rowde (off A342—opposite Rowdeford School) Telephone and Fax—01380 723016 Open Thursday—Sunday 10 am to 5 pm April to the end of September ALZHEIMERS SUPPORT Alzheimers is an illness we hear more and more about these days and many of us are aware of someone who suffers from it. We also have seen the problems it presents to the sufferer, but also the difficulties with which the carer has to cope. The main symptoms are based around forgetfulness and confusion about everyday things and as the illness progresses these symptoms increase. It is wise to contact Alzheimers Support before the situation becomes seriously difficult. Right at the beginning we can help you get a diagnosis; put you in touch with a memory clinic that may be able to prescribe medicine that will halt the illness for a while; give you information that will help you manage. Information can be about the illness, financial and legal aspects of caring, including benefits, carers groups, counselling, day care and respite services. If you have this illness or are caring for someone with dementia, please contact us – 01225 776481, we have an office in a local town near you.

A number of requests for help were met and the comments on content were almost always helpful and generally polite! In which context, though, I must apologise most sincerely for the unpardonable error in the article about the Green Gardens Woodland, which referred to a memorial oak tree that had been planted by Mr and Mrs Tony Watson. It was their son Robert who had died in a potholing accident, and not as printed. I am very sorry. The number of notices for Parish Council support – anyone fancy themselves as a “Mature” Handy(man or woman?); about Church events that apply to all and not just church goers; for plant sales and the May Fair; as well as reports on activities past and to come, indicate a lively and interested community and long may this continue, even if we are to be distracted by some national event we are threatened with on 5th May. Still, it Deadline for copy for May issue - 20th April Tel: 01380 828501 Email: john.quinn@saqnet.co.uk Please note that the May issue of the Magazine will cover the period 1st May—15th June only takes a few moments to make one’s mark! I would also draw your attention to the article about cheese-making in Poulshot, which is of current interest and which also shows the sort of research that is of historic value in the longer term. Perhaps we should encourage those with out-ofuse dairies to set up a new cheese-cooperative. Finally, a plea for help, please, in assembling the magazine. Once a month, in the last week or so, we are faced with some three thousand sheets of A4 paper, printed on both sides, that need to be turned into copies of the magazine. Once collated, they have to be stapled and folded. This would probably take a party of three of four no more than an hour or two (with a break for tea), but it takes me a lot longer and by midnight the breaks are no longer for tea. If anyone would like to give a little time now and then please let me know, 828501, and I will arrange a roster – it won’t come round every month and times can be arranged to suit those involved. Enjoy the Spring!

Present were Michael Hues (Chairman), Sue Aldridge, Nicky Hunloke, Joe Dyke and Michael Wilson (Clerk). Apologies were received from Malcolm Nixon. 2 27 �Contact: A Public Meeting, attended by 16 members of the public, preceded the Council Meeting. At this, a representative of Kennet District Council Planning Department gave a presentation on Planning Regulations and their application. PC Anne Deuchars spoke about speed limits in rural areas in general and Poulshot in particular (see below). She also warned of a series of thefts in villages in the area and called for vigilance, reporting the numbers of any strange cars. She also supported the resurrection of the Neighbourhood Watch scheme and this is being followed up by the Clerk. Among the subjects discussed at the Council Meeting that followed were: Notice Board. The new notice board has been installed on the grass verge outside Higher Green Farm, opposite the Raven. The board removed from the Raven car park will be renovated and installed outside the Village Hall. Village Hall. A grant of £2,000 was approved for repairs to the Village Hall. Members recognised the importance of the Hall to the community and thanked members of the Hall Committee for their commitment to the village. Speed Limit. Some members of the council had undertaken a survey of village opinion and reported that a substantial majority of those questioned were in favour of reducing the present speed limit to 30mph. A vote was taken on whether to proceed with the proposal but the outcome was split and the subject was deferred until the next meeting, on 10th May, the Annual Parish Meeting, when it is hoped that there will be a wider representation of both members of the council and parishioners. Car Parking—Poulshot Road. There had been a noticeable lack of reaction from Sarsen over the proposals to ease parking problems by the Terraces and the Clerk will let Sarsen know of the Council’s dissatisfaction. Ponds. The care and the future of the two ponds on the Green is still the subject of active study and a meeting was to be held on site (not in site!) on 23rd March with Kennet District Council. Footpaths and Byways. Despite the new guidelines, there is still doubt over the long term use of tracks, byways and bridleways, and a number of applications from off-road vehicle associations for byways to be reclassified as tracks have been received by Wiltshire County Council. The Parish Council will be involved in any consultations.

As we enjoy Spring, & the signs of new life across our beautiful countryside, we are reminded of the desperate needs in the lives of our brothers & sisters across the world, those affected by the Tsunami & also countries like Ethiopia, not forgetting the needs of the homeless & abused in our own country. The work of aid charities like Comic Relief touch us with their call for our support & show us the seriousness of the needs of our fellow human beings. They call us to reach out as a family & help them have new life. During these weeks the Church season of Lent has drawn to its conclusion with Holy Week & Easter, a time to be more open to the possibilities of new life with deeper knowledge of Jesus Christ in our every day. Many have shared with their brothers & sisters in the celebration of Mothering Sunday, a traditional time for families & giving thanks for those who care for us.

TONY PARSONS DOMESTIC APPLIANCE ENGINEER WASHING MACHINES/COOKERS/DRIERS SERVICE & REPAIRS TEL: 01380 723279 MOBILE: 07970 117023 world what does ‘family’ really mean today? We understand it as the framework of our lives & community; marriage, the nurture of both adults & children in the same household; love & security, guidance & protection, welcome & acceptance. These are values by which we have lived for generations & still uphold. Yet we cannot ignore the fact that for some people family life may not have been a happy, comforting or secure experience, through the break down of a relationship, bereavement, unemployment, ill health or any number of other difficult & painful circumstances. Equally while holding traditional family values as a model for life, many people do find other ways of living to be more suitable for them. Where can we find any help in trying to understand who are ‘my family’ today? There are several accounts, in the Gospels, of Jesus showing His understanding of ‘family’. From the cross He tells His friend John to take Mary, Jesus’ mother, home with him & treat her as part of his own family, & tells Mary to treat John as her son. In another earlier scene, when the disciples say that Jesus’ family have arrived to see Him, He tells them that everyone who believes in Him is His family… In both Gospel stories He calls us, as He called them, to be ‘Jesus’ to each other, united in love, to take on His way of being, to relate to one another just as He does… In the life of the Church the word ‘family’ in terms of a particular church service has come to mean that it is a more informal act of worship, aiming to be more easily shared by all ages as well as the occasional visitor. While it may include something for children to share nevertheless the service is intended for all age groups there. It seems then that the model for us today, & from God, is a rather more inclusive picture of what ‘my family’ means. If we are truly to be Jesus’ family then we have to reach out as He does, within & beyond our traditional family & see each other with the same love & welcome. We cannot just hang onto or hide behind the word ‘family’ - we have to live it! If we reach out to others as He does then we’ll truly know who we are & to whose family we belong!

Those attending are invited to enjoy a glass of wine afterwards. CHRIST CHURCH BULKINGTON Our PCC is planning to introduce services which will appeal to a wider cross section of the benefice. On the fourth Sunday of each month there will be Holy Communion together with a theme chosen by a member of the community and suggestions are welcomed from anyone in the benefice. To start the ball rolling, the service on Sunday 24th April at 6.00pm will be a Songs of Praise. We would be delighted to receive requests for a favourite hymn from anyone in Poulshot. Please contact Andrea Dobson on 827126 if you have one. Rev. Sacha Pearce would also welcome suggestions for future services (828615). On 22nd May at 6.00pm, the service will be held on the church lawn (in the church if wet) and will be followed by a ploughman’s supper with retiring collection. We need enthusiastic people to form a gospel singers choir to sing at this service. Can you lend us your voice. If so, please contact Liz Futter, our talent scout (828485). Many thanks. Bulkington PCC FOLLOWING THE ALDHELM WAY IN 2005 With the whole of the diocese, our benefice are planning to join with parishes, schools and communities across the diocese to take part in an exciting mission project called “The Aldhelm Way”. 7 �Saint Aldhelm was a teacher evangelist and Abbot of Malmesbury, who was appointed the first Bishop of Sherborne in 705 AD. 2005 is therefore, the 1300th anniversary of his consecration. To celebrate this important date, the diocese has organised a series of special events including a 5 day pilgrimage which will culminate in an outdoor celebration on 4th June, at St Aldhelm’s Head near Swanage in Dorset, with the Archbishop of Canterbury as guest preacher. Here in our benefice we are planning to support this event by arranging a coach or minibus on 4th June, in order that you can either join in the walk, or just partake in the celebration at St Aldhelm’s Head to hear the Archbishop preach. Let’s make it a special day by taking a picnic lunch and praying for good weather. Names of interested people to the Rector (828615) or Audrey McDonald (828376) by the end of April. DEVIZES MAY FAIR THE WHARF Monday, 2nd May Contributions welcomed for PCC PRODUCE STALL Cakes, Sweets, Vegetables, Jams, Plants, etc. etc. Please to PCC members CHEESE FROM POULSHOT HIDDEN SECRETS IN FARMHOUSES Nora Dixon We came to live in an old farmhouse in Poulshot in 1962, not as farmers but to work in the area. As we got to know the village we found that there seemed to be a high proportion of relatively large farmhouses – fourteen in all in some 1500 acres. The Wiltshire Building Record describes nearly all these houses as ‘possibly early nineteenth century, re-casing of timber-framed structures, or sixteenth century, raised in the late eighteenth or early nineteenth century’, - similar terms described all. Two houses were dated circa 1840. We wondered what it was that had brought the prosperity that enabled such renovation, rebuilding or new building to occur. The Raven Inn had a similar profile. There must have been increasing prosperity in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. 8 21 �and some of the ‘rules’ we should follow. We are always being told not to smoke, not to drink too much, take exercise etc. etc. It’s one thing knowing what we should or should not do, but to be told in a friendly and not in a condescending way, made us think yes, it is possible to change our lifestyle without too much hardship. Both ladies said it was often the little things that helped – we don’t all need to go to the gym. So hopefully the ladies of Poulshot will be going around the village, with healthy smiles, walking with more energy and who knows maybe a little slimmer in the near future. Thank you Gay and Sue for a very enjoyable and informative evening. Tuesday 12 April – “Try Being a Magistrate” A reminder to those who intend to join us at The Old Rectory Hall at 7.30 pm – please let M.G. know that you will be there. Husbands are invited as well. Tuesday 17 May We have arranged to visit The Courts at Holt. We need to be there by 7.30 pm, again bringing husbands if we want to. If you wish to share lifts please be at The Raven car park by 7 pm. The cost will be £6.20 for the guided tour, which will last about one and a half hours. Please give your names to Paulette (828527) if you wish to join us. We will not be taking picnics this time, but if you wish to make a longer evening of it, you could always book a meal at one of the local pubs. Hardy Perennials Perennials in profusion—old and new varieties for all seasons Rowde Mill Nursery—Rowde (off A342—opposite Rowdeford School) Telephone and Fax—01380 723016 Open Thursday—Sunday 10 am to 5 pm April to the end of September 20 In 1962, eleven of these farms were working dairy farms, with farmers living in the farmhouses. Grass was good and the cow population outnumbered the people, although we don’t know the size of herds. Milk was left in 17-gallon churns for collection and most of the milking was done by machine. In the previous century there was no way that whole milk could have been distributed widely – what happened to it? All the farms in Poulshot changed hands around the turn of the nineteenth/twentieth century and sale catalogues of the time showed, as a feature, farmhouses with dairies and cheese-rooms. When I began to ask questions about cheese-making in Poulshot I was advised to read Avice Wilson’s Forgotten Harvest, The Story of Cheese Making in Wiltshire, and it encouraged me to look at our own house and perhaps other farmhouses in the village. Traditionally, the agricultural county is divided into ‘chalk’ and ‘cheese’, and Poulshot is on the edge of this division. Was cheese-making really so important to farmers that they could extend their houses to provide a dairy, at the same time as improving their residence? A cow could give enough milk in one lactation to make about 5 cwt (hundredweight) of cheese, a quarter of a ton. (One cheese might weigh about 28 lbs (pounds), or two stone. Thus a herd of twenty cows would give sufficient milk to make five tons of cheese in a year – probably a very useful addition to the annual income. The Farmhouse The shape of our house, Lower Green (44 The Green), did not seem to relate to function except as a residence (see Diagram on page 10) Reference to Forgotten Harvest and the description of a farmhouse adapted to provide a dairy and cheese-rooms, showed that milk could have been brought from the farmyard on the southwest side of the house. It could have been left in buckets on the veranda to be taken by the dairymaid into the dairy. In 1962, the door into what was possibly the dairy was in two halves, as in a stable, and would have kept farmyard fowls out, but with the top half open would have allowed a through draught to the north window. Other clues emerged: the well on the west side of the veranda would have provided water and the fireplace on the west wall of the dairy could have heated the water – two boilers or coppers were found in the garden. The floor was made of flagstones and was cold. In the room above there was evidence of a trapdoor in the floor that suggested cheeses could easily have been brought from the dairy below using a winch or ladder. A series of drawings of Poulshot by John Malchair, dated 1786-96, came up for sale at Sotheby’s in 2000. One of Lower Green, from 1788, did not show the hipped roof now at the northeast corner of the house. This is an indication that the dairy and cheese-room extension were added after that date. The picture also shows Longhorn cows, a breed that was favoured for dairying at that time. I talked to people who lived in farmhouses in the village and was invited in. At Lodge Farm, still a working farm today, the present elegant west-facing residence was built in the 1790s. On the east side, south facing and an integral part of the residence, is an older building. On the east side, but north facing, is a very large 9 �ing success. Both the acting and singing were fantastic - we certainly have many talented children in these classes. Forms 4 and 5 enjoyed their recent trip to The Roman Baths. They were involved in a variety of activities, including creating mosaics with magnetic tiles; trying on tunics and togas; and handling a range of replica artefacts. It was an interesting day and the children learned many new facts about life in Roman times. The Netball Team have been very busy recently. They have played away at St. Margaret's School, Calne, which was a great success, with a win of 5-3! The team were also involved in two tournaments during the same weekend; one at St. Mary's school, and the other at Dauntsey's. We helped to raise funds for Comic Relief on 11th March, as the children were permitted to wear one item of red clothing in exchange for £1.00. Forms 1, 2 and 3 also held a cake sale during the day. It was amusing to see such unusual choices of red clothing, from one sock, to long hair put up in unusual ways with red ribbons. It is always great to receive visitors into the school. The Reverend David Howard visited us recently and gave an informative and enjoyable assembly based around the theme of Mother's day. We are getting into the recycling mode at The Mill. We have been recycling paper for about a year now; Form 5 have also been recycling milk bottle tops, ink cartridges, used stamps, foreign coins, old mobile phones and photocopier toner all in aid of Naomi House Children's Hospice. We now have one more addition, after a visit from a representative from The Wiltshire Wildlife Trust, who visited the school and took an assembly on composting. The children were very knowledgeable on the subject and were delighted to receive a compost bin from the trust. I know it will be put to good use, and I am sure the gardening club will reap the benefits of the compost we make. We say a fond farewell to Kathryn Courage, our Form 1 teacher at the end of this term. She has been a great asset to the school and will be sadly missed. We wish her well on her new venture! We look forward to the Summer Term, particularly because we will formally open our new music block, for which the children have been patiently waiting. We are also looking forward to the Easter break, which the children deserve! On behalf of everyone at The Mill School, I would like to wish you a very Happy Easter! Sarah Wilkinson POULSHOT LADIES CLUB dairy (no longer used as such), with a cheese-room above, equally large. The cheese-room has racks still standing which would have been shelved to hold maturing cheeses. In one corner there is a trap door with a winch over it to bring the cheeses up from the dairy, and there is a door on the first floor that would have 10 The March meeting saw the village hall turned into a Well Woman Clinic. Actually we were treated to an evening of discussion on how to enjoy a healthy lifestyle. Two lovely nurses (Gay and Sue) gave up an evening to come and chat to us on how we should look after ourselves 19 �ACTION MEDICAL RESEARCH PLANT FAIR 2005 The Plant Fair has now been running for 11 years. I have been Chairman of the Devizes Branch for 7 or so of those years and have seen the Fair grow from 20 stalls and 500 visitors to 32 stalls and nearly 2000 visitors. We are usually extremely lucky with the weather, whereas the May Fair in Devizes the next day usually takes place in pouring rain. I became attracted to Action Medical Research (AMR) when my younger sister Julia was gravely ill with a form of incurable meningitis. After her death 10 years ago, I thought I would like to join a medical charity, dedicated to research into childhood diseases. AMR has a system which I very much like of giving small grants to research students, who have an idea that needs to be pursued but have no money to fund themselves. This seed money may not produce any groundbreaking result, but it may succeed in eliminating any dead end. Sometimes as in the case of hip replacement, it can bring huge success. The money the Devizes Committee raises at the Plant Fair is used directly to fund these grants with next to no expenses taken by central office. The Plant Fair takes place on 1st May (see poster on page 21). Please come and buy some beautiful, well-grown plants for your gardens and tubs, and wander in the lovely grounds of Great Chalfield Manor in the spring sunshine! (we hope). Kate Hunloke POULSHOT VILLAGE HALL 100 Club Prizewinners February 2005 (Draw done by Jane McLeod) Derek Barnes Paul & Marilyn Longden Peter Jeary £25 £15 £10 (Paul & Marilyn Longden have kindly donated their prize to Village Hall funds) NEWS FROM THE MILL SCHOOL As I write this, our term is nearly at an end. The school is beginning to bloom, as Spring flowers show their faces. It has been a short, but very busy term! Despite this, the children have worked very hard in all aspects of the curriculum. The performance of Scheherazade by Lower and Upper 6th was a resound18 enabled matured cheeses to be loaded directly onto a cart in the farmyard, ready for market. Outside the dairy are a well and a boiler for heating water. Whey was channelled from the dairy to the piggeries on the farm. A local builder, Reg Collett¸ (1902-1994), whose memories of the village went back to before the First World War, remembered cheese from Lodge Farm – it was hard, with a blue vein and a nutty flavour. Other elderly residents recall cheese being taken around the village and large wedges being cut off for sale. At Dukes Farm (59 The Green), the evidence for cheese making is not so clear, but there was a dairy on the north side and a room, still called the cheeseroom, on the first floor. Mrs Baber, mother of the present owner Joe, who was trained as a cheese maker before the Second World War and won prizes for it at Frome Cheese Show, made cheese during the war, although not on a large scale. Higher Green Farm (1 The Green) is still a working dairy farm today. The south front extension to the west is clear from the Green and its north doors suggest a dairy with covered access from the north and the farmyard. In the room above, again still called the cheese-room, is a trapdoor down to the dairy. These rooms are now part of the residence but the north door of the ground floor has a ‘slide’ in it which could have been opened to provide a through draught for the old dairy. Church Farm has a large north facing ground floor room, with a room above shelved for storing cheeses. Here there was a large lead-lined tank for collecting whey, and there were old piggeries in the yard. Mr Jehu Harris, a cheese maker from Somerset, came to the farm early in the century and did make some cheese in the 1920s - his family still live in the house. Other farmhouses, no longer associated with farming, have been extended and altered, but would probably show similar clues to one of their nineteenth century functions. Hearsay evidence from villagers (boys in the village in the 1930s and 1940s) confirms this. Next month – MAKING AND MARKETING THE CHEESE Rowde School News Our Year 6 children entered the National Primary Maths Challenge last term and we were delighted to receive invitations for Jasmine, Ali and Rory to take part in the Final. A fantastic achievement since less than 1% of the original 111,000 were invited. It is with the greatest pleasure that we can tell you that all three children performed marvellously in the Final and Rory and Ali were awarded Gold Medals. Many Congratulations and very well done to all three of you. Comic Relief Day was fun with individual children and classes ‘doing their own thing’. Everyone dressed in red and many had red faces and hair. Events included a cake stall, teddy bear raffle and 11 �a sponsored judo throwing of Mr Ball by Year 6. Particular praise must go to Holly Gorton who raised well over £50 by not only throwing Mr Ball twice but also throwing Mr Lakin!! The fantastic sum of over £430 was raised. So thank you all very much. The Second Rowde Fire Walk Saturday July 2nd @ 9.30pm If you missed the opportunity to take part in the first Rowde Firewalk at Rowdeford, or would just like to have a go at something different, here’s the opportunity to test your courage and raise some money toward a very good cause—a replacement swimming pool for the children of Rowde School. Our current swimming pool is nearly 30 years old and really showing it’s age! We need to raise around £30,000 for a replacement, hopefully to be opened at the same time as the new shool. If you would like to help us in this worthy cause and experience the thrill of a lifetime please take part in our Firewalk this summer. Information packs are available from the school office. Please call in to collect one during school hours, or phone the school to receive a pack by post (01380 723991). We wish you all, especially our children, a very happy Easter.

No doubt most people were bemused to receive recently from the government their little booklet describing how to cope in, and with, a major emergency. That sort of thing may be all right in places that might expect to be a target for an attack, but here, in Poulshot – what could happen here? Mind you, once upon a time that’s what they used to say in Locherbie, and in Rhyl where the sea wall gave way and flooded hundreds of houses for days in 1990, houses many of which could never be reoccupied and many of which were uninsured. It is true that we have no great threat from the sea, but most people will have heard the occasional large aeroplane flying close to the rooftops. Equally, a terrorist is unlikely to get much satisfaction from an attack on Poulshot, but the traffic in Devizes is so bad that many cars and, worse, lorries find us a useful shortcut on their journey from north to south or vice versa and we do have lorries with extremely hazardous loads using our roads all the time. Mind you, the risk might be reduced if we had a realistic speed limit, but that’s another story! So we may not be in the front line for an emergency, if only one could define what that front line might be. But is there any harm in thinking ahead about how we might react to the unexpected, and if we were to be left on our own to cope for a while? Time spent in preparation (to misquote an old army maxim) is seldom wasted and a little bit of forethought and the application of a modicum of common sense could be repaid many times if the impossible did happen. With good reason, the Parish Council has in the past rehearsed such an eventuality and is doing so again on 4th October and will no doubt let us all know what is going to happen and, afterwards, what lessons were learned. But in the meantime the County Council Emergency Planning Unit is running a training course in Devizes for what they call Community Emergency Volunteers (CEV), a class of citizen that Wiltshire has been in the forefront nationally of training for many years. The training consists of two Thursday evening sessions on 22nd and 29th September and gives the volunteer a closer understanding of what might be required and of how to help and advise his or her friends and neighbours, both in basic preparedness and in reaction should the worst occur. The second session takes the form of a table-top exercise which is always interesting and testing and generally good fun. If anyone would like to learn a little more of the subject and attend the course please let me know (828501) and I will make the arrangements.

It was disappointing for us all, and in particular for Caroline, that circumstances made it impossible for her to continue producing the Poulshot News, but we are grateful for all that she did and, like it or not, her name will be on the list of candidates to take over again whenever she retires. In the meantime it’s geriatrics to the rescue and we will do all we can to maintain a worthwhile magazine. But, as we have often said before, much depends on you, the readers, firstly to contribute and secondly to make suggestions about ways to go. Mind you, while the working member of the editorial staff is always prepared to try something new, senior management is not quite so flexible, but don’t be put off – give us a try. There are already innovations, in particular via the Parish Council, with news of a Poulshot Web Site and also of a wish to re-establish a Youth Club, details of which appear elsewhere in this issue. The Children’s page will continue, thanks to the Janes family, who I know would welcome support. But please give a little thought to a story, or article of interest that could help to make the magazine attractive to all. First of all, though, you will have seen the striking new cover, showing one of the Green’s Chestnut Trees. This was drawn by Alessa Tinne, who is studying at Bath College of Art, and we are grateful for her support—many thanks Alessa, it’s a super picture. One small problem we have is the need to fill a delivery gap. Ever since we started some ten years ago, the Stevens family have valiantly delivered the Poulshot News from Sillington Lane to The Raven, as well as up Barleyhill Lane and to Corn Close. Now they have asked to cut this down and we are looking for a volunteer for Barleyhill Lane and Corn Close please. It isn’t hard work but to be worthwhile it is important to get the magazine out as close as possible to the day of publication. Please call us. Finally, our first apology! For some time, we have had in our di1 �ary a number of extraneous private events during May and also early September, so we will have a rather interrupted summer magazine programme. The programme, including copy dates is given below.

I was delighted with the turnout on such a dull evening weatherwise. It showed that we are all interested in our community. Topics discussed included details of how we could form a Youth Club, a representative from Wessex Water spoke about the sewerage problems affecting the village, both on the Green and at Townsend, and we considered a plan to apply for a reduction of the speed limit in the village from 40 to 30 mph. One of the Chairman’s responsibilities is to explain each year in the parish magazine the tasks undertaken by the Parish Council. In May, we were joined by a new Parish Clerk, Mr Mike Wilson, who took over from Mr Chris Sibley, who had retired for health reasons. The village green had been maintained and cut three times during the year. The feeling is that this was not enough and in 2005 it will be cut at least five times. New goal posts have been installed on the Green and I am pleased to see that they are being used. The children’s play area in front of the Village Hall has been maintained and is about to have a good spring clean. Other matters dealt with have been clearance of the Pond on the Green and some lopping of trees We had a couple of nuisances to deal with in 2004 and I am pleased that they have been resolved to everyone’s satisfaction. Parking along Poulshot Road, opposite the Old Chapel is causing problems; we are in touch with Sarsen and hopefully a solution can be found. Finally, can I say how proud we must all be of our rural and peaceful village and hope that with your help we can maintain it that way in 2005. Michael Hues Free initial consultation 26 3 �PARISH COUNCIL MEETING 18th January 2005 All the Councillors were present at this meeting, together with three visitors – Mrs Thelma Carr, our Kennet District Councillor, Mr Nick Buller, from Wessex Water and Miss Maggie Giddings of Youth Action Wiltshire. An apology was received from PC Anne Deuchars, our Community Beat Officer. Preceding this report is a letter from Michael Hues, the Chairman of the Parish Council, which outlines the main elements of the first part of the meeting that was open to participation by the public. Firstly, Miss Giddings gave a presentation on the charity, Youth Action Wiltshire, whose aim is to help with the formation of youth clubs, training youth leaders and supporting existing clubs, albeit not financially. There is a separate note about this on page 22. Next, Mr Buller of Wessex Water outlined the present arrangements for the pumping of raw sewage in the village. This was welcomed but did not satisfy many residents who were concerned at the frequency of overflows. Residents of Townsend and Mill Lane are being asked to monitor overflows so that data can be given to Wessex Water in support for our case for a better service. Inevitably there was a spirited discussion on the pros and cons of lowering the speed limit through the village from 40 mph to 30. Arguments ranged from the simple “Nobody exceeds 40 anyway, so why change?” to the consequential “ What next? Street lights, housing estates, supermarkets, swimming pools!” The Council will consider how best to gauge the real feelings of the majority. After refreshments provided by Mrs Dibbie Hues and Mrs Tania Wilson the public part of the meeting closed. Subsequently, the Council considered a number of other matters, including: Village Notice Board. The purchase of a new notice board was agreed although the siting of it has yet to be decided. Church Lane. Wessex Water are being chased to re-seed the triangle of grass at the entrance to the lane. 4 A little further and we were back home in Poulshot. Nora Dixon and her family were able to welcome a dry thirsty group of ramblers who were most thankful for a delicious cup of tea, mince pie and chat.

More like a day in May than one in December. Memories flow of previous Boxing Days, some rainy, some blustery and one in a horrendous gale. 2004's was just lovely, which accounted for the forty plus grown-ups and children, together with a wide variety of canines who accompanied the party. The company soon extended over many yards/metres as we walked down Barley Hill Lane and across to the canal at Foxhangers. We walked west, past the narrow boats which were moored beside the canal. Every time one walks along the canal there seem to be more boats secured to its bank. The dogs who were not on leads had a wonderful time, they wandered along as a pack, most of their owners oblivious to their whereabouts. Before we reached Seend we crossed the canal via a swing bridge, up the steep hill to the road, along the tarmac for a short distance and then downhill through the fields. What an incredible view of the sun to our west and the moon rising in the east, a wonderful sight for those who noticed. The dogs reached the brook first, they found the bridge which has a stile at each end. They managed to get over the first stile and waited in a line nose to tail, blocking the bridge as the first dog was unable to get over the second stile, until a two legged knight clambered along to help them on their way! 24 Web Site. The creation of a Poulshot Web Site was approved and details appear on page 6. Village Hall. Quotations were accepted for cleaning the play area and for the repair of the wall by the side of the Hall. Both tasks are now in hand. The question of grants and quotations for repairs to the Hall was considered and the Village Hall Committee will prepare a presentation for the Council’s next meeting. Car Parking. Discussions have been held with residents and with Sarsen over parking on Poulshot Road, by The Terrace, and some progress towards improving the situation seems possible. The Clerk is following this up. Byways. The position regarding the use by vehicles of village byways and tracks was explained and is spelt out in more detail below. The Council’s next meeting will take place in the Village Hall at 7.30pm on Tuesday 8th March. The public are welcome to attend routine meetings in the capacity of observers. RIGHTS OF WAY Please note that Broadway Lane, linking Barley Hill Lane with Townsend, is the only designated By-Way in the village. All other tracks are either Footpaths or Bridleways. If any off road vehicles are seen on these tracks, please take registration numbers and report them to the Police. Also please notify the Parish Clerk, Mike Wilson, on 828100 so that he can follow it up with the Police. A copy of the up to date Rights of Way Map is held by the Parish Clerk. 5 �HAPPY NEW YEAR from the Community Beat Officer—PC1603 Anne Deuchars As we move into 2005 I would like to thank all of you for your support during 2004.

D .Dear Fellow Residents of Poulshot You may have heard that your Parish Council is trying to provide some form of activity for the Young people in the Village. In fact there is a lot of support from national and local government in the form of money and resources to help any such project. Youth Action Wiltshire is prepared to stage an activity day for our Youngsters in Poulshot in order to discover their opinions, the organisation would be largely by external agencies. However, we need a Champion to lead the programme—if you are interested in helping to provide something for our young people to do; YOU could make the difference!

My party cost me so much for dinner one night that I needed some Euro-money from the hole in the wall. I recced the bank on the way home so was all ready when I went there in the morning. I slipped my card into the appropriate slot, but instead of the usual rather sinister sucking motion that I was used to, it fell like a stone and a sharp crack. Consternation, not to say panic, but after a moment to gather my wits I peered closely at the slot and, lo and behold, there was an eye, surrounded by machinery, peering back at me. “You’ve swallowed my card,” I said accusingly. “Yes” replied the eye, equally accusingly, “ just wait a minute”. I waited and, sure enough, after a minute or so, my card reappeared – on the end of a disembodied pair of fingers. I grabbed my card, said a hurried thank you to the fingers and went straight into the bank to try my luck at the desk. As I did, a young lady, whose eye and fingers seemed familiar, appeared out of a side door, and told me that as she had finished her daily maintenance I could try again. I did and it worked.

Hardy Perennials Perennials in profusion—old and new varieties for all seasons Rowde Mill Nursery—Rowde (off A342—opposite Rowdeford School) Telephone and Fax—01380 723016 Open Thursday—Sunday 10 am to 5 pm April to the end of September 20 The Rector writes… Getting ready for Easter… for Easter Eggs? Have you noticed that almost before we’d put away the Christmas decorations, the sales began, and so also the Easter eggs appeared in the shops?! Are you an Easter egg fan? Do your children and grandchildren compete to see who has the most or the biggest? These early weeks of Spring may mean many things to you as well as planning the purchase of Easter eggs – perhaps you take more notice of the garden, the landscape of our countryside as you walk across the field, notice Spring flowers, feel the warming sun, aware of new life pushing through the ground. For the Church calendar these weeks mean the season of Lent, which began on Ash Wednesday which this year was on 9th February. From the early Christian Church time has been set aside in order to prepare for the celebration of Easter and from the 7th century it has been 40 days to imitate the time of Christ in the wilderness. On the first day of Lent, it was the practice in Rome for the penitent, those who had been separated from the Church, to be publicly sprinkled with ashes, dressed in sackcloth, and obliged to remain apart until they were reconciled with the Christian community on Maundy Thursday. By the 10th century this was replaced by the imposition of ashes on the whole congregation, the cross marked on the forehead with the ashes obtained by burning the palms used on the previous Palm Sunday. All this may seem like an odd ritual but it reminds us of the seriousness with which we are invited to get ready for Easter. These weeks, through February and March, the weeks of Lent, are a time to make an even greater effort to know God more, to set time aside to prepare in our hearts for the celebration of the hope given to us by God who, by Christ’s resurrection, tells us that there is life forever with Him for us all. The traditional and popular idea of ‘giving things up’ for this time of Lent is often not very well understood but is meant to symbolize the simplicity and starkness in the life of our worship during this time, and in all our lives the clearing away in order to see more clearly the focus of God, clearing away our self-centredness, to prepare for the joy of the discovery of Christ, perhaps where 9 �we least expect. So getting ready for Easter is more profitably expressed in taking on more, more time for God, more time to seek His treasure in our heart. So enjoy the Spring garden, enjoy planning and buying your Easter eggs – but also enjoy getting ready for Easter by asking Jesus to help you know Him a bit more! Revd Sacha Pearce ST PETER’S CHURCH NOTES Home Communion As part of the Church’s ministry in the parish, we now have the facility to take Holy Communion to people who are, for reasons of sickness, disability or infirmity, unable to attend Church. If anyone wishes to make use of this ministry, or to find out more, please contact either the Rector or one of the Churchwardens, and arrangements can be made for them to receive communion in their home. December 2004 Not unusually, the final part of 2004 was a busy one for St Peter’s and for our many supporters. On 1st December we held our annual Christmas Bazaar that was as well attended as ever, and this year by more children than in the past. Father Christmas was given a big welcome and had helpful discussions with his admirers and there were good sales on all the stalls and the raffle. Our total takings from the brief occasion were £165 and thanks go to all those who put so much effort into organising the day and to all who supported us. It has been suggested that next year’s Bazaar should be held on a Saturday morning and we have provisionally planned to do this. All other things being equal the 2005 Bazaar will take place between 10.00am and 12.00noon on Saturday 3rd December – tea and coffee instead of mulled wine and will someone who is in touch with him please warn Father Christmas! Another well supported event was carol singing around the village, which this year started in Townsend, ending up on the Green with a warming glass at Wattle Cottage. Some twenty hardy souls sang their way around on what at the last minute turned out to 10 preme, fortunately generally good-naturedly. And so to boarding and having amazed the security barrier with the noise I made, I found that I was in for the long drop on the end of a short rope because I had slipped my travelling corkscrew (never go anywhere without it) into my washbag and was being eyed up by the checkers for an indefinite term in Belmarsh Prison. Eventually, they threw my essential travelling companion into their dangerous items waste bag. On the plane and off we go and the nice lady brings her trolley round offering delicious snacks etc. A ham and cheese baguette sounded nice, even at £3, but it turned out to be “re-formed ham”, whatever that might be, “processed cheese,” of no known brand, all in “baguette-style bread”! It was quite the most disgusting £3 I have ever attempted to eat. There was no problem on the trip home because we brought our own, delicious, sandwiches with us. We will probably still travel Sleazyjet, but it will be self-catering from now on. Does anyone know who NOAH SAINSBURY might be ???? A couple of years ago, whilst cleaning the windows of the barn at Poulshot House, I found the following scratched into one of the panes: NOAH SAINSBURY July 9th 1861 It was quite a surprise because the windows had not been cleaned for years and as I cleaned one particular pane the above appeared as if by magic. I reckon it was etched using a ring and the writing is very nice. The window frame is cast iron and fixed into a wooden frame and may have come from some other property. I intend to protect the window with clear plastic. If anyone wants to have a look, please give me a ring on 01380 827010. Ray Josey 19 �MOBILE LIBRARY Schedules for the Mobile Library Service are to be reviewed in July and the ever-present threat to our continuing place on the schedule could arise again. The only way we can influence the outcome in our favour is by increasing the use of the service. So all those who use the main library should see whether their needs can be met by the Mobile Library – those who already use it should increase their borrowing of books and those who don’t read should give it a go (it beats the telly hands down) – and start with the Mobile! For further information contact Parish Clerk Mike Wilson on 828100. The dates for this month are Mondays, 7th and 21st March when the Mobile Library will be in the Raven Car Park from 11.35am to 11.50am POULSHOT VILLAGE HALL 100 Club Prizewinners Christmas Draw Mrs M G Young £80 Mrs R Hues £40 Mr C Sibley £25 Mrs H Kidd £15 January 2005 Mrs N McGregor-Johnson Mrs L Jordan Mr P Piper The Raven Mr I Brothers Mrs P Fennell £10 £10 £10 £25 £15 £10 HOLIDAY MISCELLANY We recently sneaked a quick week away in Portugal to try and find some sunshine in the middle of dreary January. That bit was a great success – blue skies all day and hot sun that tempted us to do little else but lie in it with a cooling drink with the only real decision being where to eat in the evening. It was a temptation to which we succumbed with no problem. BUT, we had to get there and at £44.16 each, return, we could hardly go wrong. Except that at Luton Airport (don’t go there), Easyjet’s check-in electronics had broken down and it seemed that no-one knew how to do it by hand. As there were six different flights checking in at the same time, chaos reigned su18 be a fine evening and in the process collected £65 for the Save the Children Fund. To this sum was added the proceeds from personal Advent Collection Boxes and a total of £111 went to the charity. On Christmas Eve the Church was, as ever, bursting at the seams for our annual Carol Service. Even in the porch it was standing room only, but this didn’t detract from a joyous and thoughtful occasion. The choir was excellent, larger in numbers than for a long time and with excellent soloists, and led the singing enthusiastically and tunefully. The very generous collection, together with some later donations, amounted to £330 and this was subsequently sent to the Disaster Emergency Appeal for victims of the tragedy following the Indonesian earthquake and the tsunami that followed. Finally, on Christmas morning there was a good congregation for the Christmas Communion Service. Works It can have escaped no-one’s notice that the porch of the Church is in need of repair and it is planned that this work will start in the spring. It is a major task requiring underpinning and alterations to the drainage arrangements and will involve significant disruption to the area around the entrance. However, services will continue as normal, or more or less, with access to the Church through the door in the south wall of the chancel. It is painted grey, so you can’t miss it, but watch your head, our ancestors were clearly small people. This is a good moment to acknowledge the sterling work carried out by Les and Di Urda and by Andy and Chris Stewart on the churchyard wall. It has been time-consuming, heavy and at times frustrating labour but the results are outstanding and, when the weather allows, the finished job will be a credit to them as well as to St Peter’s. The story of the bells is less cheerful. Despite initially encouraging noises our bid for funds to refurbish the bells has been turned down by the Heritage Lottery Fund, essentially because we are too small a community to meet the very wide conditions they lay down for those who will benefit from the conservation. Sadly, after 11 �much discussion and examining of finances and priorities we have decided to put the bells project on hold for the time being until one or two other urgent jobs have been completed. Forthcoming Events The Annual Church Meeting, open to all, will be held in the Church at 7.30pm on Monday 11th April, at which the annual reports and accounts will be presented and elections held for the posts of Churchwarden and for PCC members. You are all welcome and may wish to join us for a glass of wine afterwards. Events so far arranged for the year are the May Fair on 2nd May and the Fete on 25th June, with our annual Patronal Festival Service, hopefully on the Green and led by the new Archdeacon, the Very Reverend John Raw, the next day. Over the weekend 1st/2nd October we will hold the Harvest Supper and the Harvest Festival will be celebrated in Church, and the Christmas Bazaar is on 3rd December. HELP ! It is Grass Cutting Time Again ! It will not be long before the grass in the Churchyard will need cutting on a regular basis. The weekly cut normally takes about an hour and a half to complete. If anyone can spare that amount of time once every five or six weeks and is willing to help keep the churchyard of our Village Church tidy, please make contact with either Brian James (724944) or John Quinn (828501) in the next week or so. A rota can then be arranged and cutting can start in the week before Easter. ****************************************** POULSHOT VILLAGE TRUST The Trust met on 18th January 2005; 12 members attended and there were four apologies. A number of routine topics were discussed and following is a selection of the most significant. Rowde School News for February This term has started off well with a non uniform day in aid of UNICEF; the children came to school in their choice of clothes, it cost them a pound. UNICEF raise money for all sorts of projects concerning children. One of the things they are helping with is the aftermath of the Tsunami. Once again we have had the Story box theatre in school. The puppeteer told the story of Jack in the Beanstalk using a variety of puppets, musical instruments and sound effects. All the children young and old enjoy this experience. The RSA have a disco when we return to school on the Friday 25th February. Good news on the progress of the new school, we have at last been granted the decision notice to go ahead with the build. There are still a couple of hurdles to overcome, but these are not too difficult and we hope that we will be able to turn the first sod soon ! I hope everyone has a good half term and see you next week. Mandy Housby WILTSHIRE NUMISMATIC SOCIETY The Society held its annual Christmas dinner at the Raven on Friday 10th December, when 16 members and friends attended. There would have been more members but prior commitments and other Christmas functions at this time of the year are numerous. Nonetheless, we all enjoyed the Raven’s lovely meal and our usual Raffle had enough prizes to satisfy everybody. Afterwards six games of Bingo were played with Michael Bowden as the caller, assisted by Richard Jeffery. One member, who had never played Bingo in his life was lucky enough to win two prizes (talk about beginner’s luck!). This happy event brought an end to our year’s programme. We commence again in March 2005 in Poulshot Village Hall. Michael Bowden Village Pond. The clearance of weed from the pond has been completed but problems now arise from the strong growth of bull12 17 �joy a healthy lifestyle. Those who want their blood pressure checked for example, can do so, but you may just want to sit, relax and enjoy a pleasant evening. This all takes place in the Village Hall at 7.30pm. Tuesday 12th April – “Try Being a Magistrate” We have been extremely lucky to be able to arrange this exciting evening to find out what it’s all about – Poulshot has no less than three JPs in the village. If space permits we will extend the evening to include husbands, but there will be a limit of around twenty, so please let MG Brothers (828221) know if you intend to be there, at the Old Rectory Hall at 7.30pm. Future Meetings We have a wide range of activities arranged, but at this stage no firm dates—so please keep reading your magazine and as final details emerge we will keep you informed. Paulette Bremner-Milne TSUNAMI DISASTER APPEAL Natasha and Victoria Baker cleaned cars in the Village and collected £73.42 for the Disaster Fund—a marvellous total considering how cold the weather was. The Raven held a Quiz and raised £200. Alice Murray-Gourlay and her friends ran or cycled from Rowde to the Barge Inn at Seend and raised an amazing £500+ for the Disaster Fund. St Peter’s Church sent £330 from the Carol Service. A magnificent community effort ! 16 rushes that is threatening to choke the pond, damaging the habitat of the Great Crested Newts that live there and, possibly, putting the existence of the pond at risk. Advice is being sought from Wiltshire Wildlife and from DEFRA. The Green Gardens Woodland. The trees planted in November 2003 continue to flourish with losses of perhaps only 20 out of the original total of 1200. Spraying will take place soon to kill off docks, thistles and nettles and the control of blackthorn and brambles is in hand. Tim Gravina, Nicky Hunloke and the Guardians were thanked for their efforts in maintaining the area. An oak tree has been planted close to the stile into Hay Lane, at the request of Mr and Mrs Tom Watson who lived in the village, in memory of their son Ian, who died in a climbing accident in the early 1990s. The memorial tree can be identified by the different colour of its shelter. The Poulshot Book of Trees was on display at the meeting. Work towards the completion of the second part of the book, describing the other trees in the village, is progressing and contributions are encouraged from any householder with trees, or just a tree, who has not yet given in the details; contact Nora Dixon, 828364, or John Quinn, 828501.

Nights drawing in, looking for a new project for those winter months? Why not try The Tex&le Studios at Steeple Ashton? The Wiltshire Guild of Spinners, Weavers and Dyers moved to the Steeple Ashton studios seven years ago. The Guild is a thriving concern with members from the surrounding villages and throughout Wiltshire. Our core activities are Spinning, Weaving and Dyeing for which we have dedicated fully equipped studios. We have now extended our textile areas to include a Patchwork group which meets all day twice a month, a monthly Sewing Bee, members of which are now proudly wearing their creations, and from October, a Handicrafts/ knitting and crochet group, who plan to start with some beading. All our crafts include an educational aspect with tutoring, demonstrations and guest speakers etc. The Guild had a successful exhibition in the summer and received many lovely comments. Our textile studios are located behind the village shop at St Mary's School Building, High Street, Steeple Ashton BA14 6EU and we have disabled facilities. We have a website which can be viewed at www.westwilts-communityweb.com/site/Wiltshire-Guild/ Please visit us for a look around the studios or to arrange a free trial session. Contact : valerielaverick@hotmail.com or badgersberyl@icloud.com �VILLAGE HALL PLAY GROUND The playground outside the Village Hall needs some tender loving care. This is an appeal to families in the village and particularly those with young children to come with their children and spend a couple of hours cleaning the equipment, sweeping up the leaves and pulling up weeds. The playground is central to our Village and a lovely facility for the children of the Village to be able to use. Sadly, if it is not looked after the Parish Council may have to close it for safety reasons. Please join us for tea and cleaning on Sunday September 23rd at 2 pm.

I think we do. I think it is something our church is very good at doing. It has had a lot of prac9ce over the centuries! When I was ordained as a priest the Bishop said “with all God’s people, you are to tell the story of God’s love and minister to the sick and prepare the dying for their death”. It has been my privilege to come alongside many people who are facing their final journey and with the ones who are leA behind to grieve and mourn. It has been my privilege to lead hundreds of funeral services, oAen called Services of Remembrance and Thanksgiving, for those who have been part of the communi9es where I have served. The funeral liturgy holds a structure in which we can move through our emo9ons, interwoven with the story of a person’s life and achievements. It allows us to acknowledge we are in the presence of God, held in his love and supported by prayer. But so oAen these days, people don’t come to church for the funeral service. Maybe it is because they see themselves as not church-goers or religious and that therefore they have to go to the Crem. for the service and that it should be secular led with no men9on of God. But whether you believe or not, come to church or not, all who live in Poulshot are welcome to have a service in St. Peter’s Church. The services are handled sensi9vely and pastorally to recognise each individual situa9on. At a church service there are no 9me constraints and the atmosphere of centuries of history, faith and worship hold us in our grief. The past, present and future tense is used in the service, as the uniqueness of that loved one’s life is shared, in their life story, in poems, in tributes from family members and friends, alongside significant pieces of music and songs. I recently visited a bereaved family who declared themselves as not religious. As we talked I learned a li`le of the story of their mum. She did not go to church but she had been bap9sed. She had talked oAen of her loved ones who had died and her hope that they were in heaven. She had been unsure of what that meant and had a wavering faith in the divine and eternity. But she was not an atheist. She felt that there was “something there”. What may have ended up as a non-religious funeral, with no prayers or blessings, turned into an upliAing service. Her son contacted me aAerwards, to tell me how having a vicar there, in robes, at the front, put their minds at rest, and added something to the service that might have been lost otherwise. ‘It made it all seem right and proper’, he said, 'a bit like a church wedding as opposed to a hotel one.’ The ritual of gathering, in a holy space, with family, friends and the vicar, enables us to celebrate and be thankful for those we love. But it also enables us to express the depth of our grief at the loss of our loved one. There are moments of intense poignancy within the church-led funeral service, with those familiar and comfor9ng words, which enables the pain to be felt and acknowledged within a safe and peaceful environment. Yes, the church does do good funerals. The Revd. Maureen Allchin.

I'm nearly three but I've only lived here for two years. I was born in a kennel and for nine months lived with my grandparents, parents and brothers and sisters and cousins until I met my new owners. Because I grew up in the depths of Devon I didn't like Poulshot at first - I didn't know what the hard things i had to walk on were or the noisy things that whizzed past while I was on the hard thing. Now I don't mind pavements or cars but I sometimes still get scared if something surprises me. What I really LOVE is being in the fields around the village and, even better, in the stream/pond/sea, you can’t keep me out of water and my master sometimes seems to think I’ll swim away. I am quite a timid dog, but my favourite thing is when my dad goes shooting. We started training last year and I LOVE sitting there waiting for a dummy to be thrown and then told I can go and retrieve it. Sometimes I decide I want to play with the dummy and that winds Dad up, so I do it some more, but I am only doing it to annoy him! When it gets colder I go out with Dad to shoot birds and he gets the easy job, I sit beside him while I wait to be asked to collect a bird and sometimes I get really bored (he’s not the best shot, so doesn’t hit much) so I chew my lead. But I know that I’ve been good when I bring a pheasant or partridge back and he gives me a big cuddle. I love my friends Tom and Ed, they are really good at throwing the ball (I think they play some game called “Cricket”) so when they walk me I get lots of exercise and come back panting. There’s nothing I like more than lying on a bean bag with one of my friends using my tummy as a pillow; I think they love me as much as I love them. I’ve made lots of other dog friends since I moved here, I can’t remember all their names, but we all know each other, whether large or small by our smells, it’s great chasing each other round and round the green or a field there’s always fun to be had and no-one is ever cross. And at the end of the day, I know I can lie in my bed and go to sleep knowing that I’ll be doing much the same tomorrow I love my life! �Dates For The Diary September October November December 1st 7:30pm Community Fund Panel Meeting.

I  recently  read  of  a  survey  about  religious  experience  that  53%  of  people  who   have  had  some  contact  with  the  church  reported  that  the  main  reason  why   they  did  not  go  to  church  was  that  they  are  “too  busy”  to  aOend.  Busy.  It’s  a   word  many  of  us  use  most  of  the  @me—we’re  too  busy,  so  busy,  very  busy,  or   just  plain  busy.  We’ve  got  work  to  do,  children  to  raise,  mee@ngs  to  get  to,   appointments  to  keep,  gardens  to  tend,  walls  to  decorate,  friends  to  have   dinner  with,  families  to  love  and  spend  @me  with.  In  the  survey,  these  53%   believe  in  God;  they  had  had  some  good  experience  of  the  church;  they   supported  their  local  church  is  many   ways;  they  embraced  the  beliefs  and   aims  of  the  church,  but  they  were  just   “too  busy”  to  get  involved  with  their   local  church  family.   It  seems  that  the  busyness  begins  with   the  teenage  years.  It  is  the  demands  of   school  –  such  as  homework,  school   teams  and  the  need  to  work  on   Sundays  to  raise  money.  And  how  do   you  get  up  on  Sunday  mornings  aLer   those  exci@ng  Saturday  nights!!?    And   as  we  come  into  adulthood  the   busyness  can  some@mes  feel   overwhelming.  So  easily  and  so  quickly,  the  habit  of  church-­‐going  is  lost  and   the  idea  of  spending  an  hour  in  the  presence  of  God  and  of  the  church  family   is  just  too  demanding.       I  wonder  how  the  1.3  million  people  who  do  manage  to  get  to  church  on   Sundays  in  Britain  today  manage  to  juggle  all  these  demands.  Maybe  it  is   because  they  have  decided  to  give  God  a  place  in  their  lives.  Now  there’s  a   “chicken  and  egg”  situa@on!  If  God  is  given  a  place  in  our  lives,  maybe  the   demands  and  priori@es  of  the  rest  of  our  life  fall  into  place  and  then  maybe  we   won’t  be  so  busy!?  Jesus  said  this  himself.  “Seek  first  the  kingdom  of  God  and   his  righteousness,  and  all  these  things  will  be  provided  for  you”.  Jesus  himself   was  very  busy,  but  he  managed  to  order  his  priori@es.  In  Mark  1:35  we  read   that  “in  the  morning,  before  daybreak,  Jesus  arose  and  went  out  to  a  lonely   place,  and  prayed”.   �Well,  maybe  not  too  early  God,  and  maybe  not  too  lonelier  a  place  –  but  I  do   want  to  spend  @me  with  you  in  my  day  and  especially  on  Sundays  to  worship   with  my  Chris@an  family.   I  wonder  how  God  feels  about  our  being  too  busy  for  him.  I  wonder  how  the   church  will  con@nue  to  ac@vely  serve  and  support  in  the  community  if  we  are   too  busy  to  be  a  part  of  it.  I  wonder  how  Chris@an  values  and  our  Chris@an   heritage  will  be  protected  and  interpreted  in  the  21st  Century  if  we  do  not   ac@vely  seek  to  value  and  protect  them?  If  we  are  too  busy  for  @me  with  God   then  we  are  just  too  busy!  This  is  true  in  all  our  rela@onships.  If  you  don’t   spend  @me  with  your  partner  or  your  children,  you’re  going  to  be   disconnected.  So  many  people  seem  disconnected  from  God  –  maybe  because   they  don’t  spend  @me  connec@ng  with  him.  We  have  to  spend  @me  with  God   in  order  to  be  close  to  him,  to  feel  his  love,  to  sense  his  presence  in  our  lives.     Ah  well!  Just  some  rambling  thoughts,  but  challenging  nevertheless.   The Revd.

We couldn't have asked for better weather and we certainly had a crowd here. Archie, the new Wadworth Shire Horse behaved impeccably and looked beautiful - what a great addition?! On Friday evening, we had a great evening with the Blues Reviewed band, who entertained us for over two hours. Everyone said how great they were and I must agree. Saturday evening was our Balearic Beats night. The music was provided by DJs Dos Cervezas, who tirelessly played music for 5 hours. Again what a great night enjoyed by all. So, a BIG thank you to all who came along and supported us here at The Raven Inn and made it such a great success. Now, where was the Caribbean Night I here you ask ?! Well, big news… the marquee will be going back up again at the end of the month. On Saturday 29th August (Bank Holiday Weekend) we will be having our Caribbean Night. The Train to Skaville band is booked and all the wonderful food you have come to expect will be available.

Season of mists and mellow fruiUulness; we’ve heard it all before but how true. A lovely summer followed by a glorious September , and apples ,plums, and tomatoes and fruit of all kinds falling to the ground, unless quickly gathered. It is the 9me for Harvest suppers and fes9vals and I hope that whether you are regular church goers or not, you will feel able to come along and enjoy the 9me honoured feel good factor of this 9me of the year . In the Autumn, country life becomes frene9c again. People in the ci9es are mistaken when they think its quiet and dull. I find difficulty in keeping up, par9cularly at this 9me of the year, and horror of horrors last week I lost my diary. (later found on my desk which might tell you something about my desk) . So all is safely gathered in, and we begin to prepare for the winter, like the squirrels which have taken away all my walnuts for storage. But what are we storing up and what are we preparing for? The children seem to have the right a]tude; excitement and an9cipa9on at the beginning of a new school or year group, and maybe determina9on to try to do something special. I expect we can all remember that frisson that we experienced in September . But teachers (and I am an ex teacher) oAen had a sense of dread or foreboding as well. What would the next term hold? Would the children be manageable? Would there be unforeseen difficul9es? Would I be able to manage the work load? Jesus said unless you change and come to me as li`le children do ,you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. So what’s the difference between a child’s life and that of an adult? Maybe its this: a sense of fun; of joy, of adventure , a sense of both sadness and happiness; a sense of the glory of God (albeit usually unspoken) and a knowledge of being loved . That is how I think we should look forward at this 9me of the year. What adventure can we plan, maybe a visit to a favourite place, or walking a long distance path, or maybe walking barefoot on the grass at dusk or daybreak or joining a running club; maybe watching for different birds coming into our gardens, or worms taking the leaves down into the earth.. I’m sure the harvest suppers will be fun and we will enjoy each others company, and I know that I will wonder at the fabulous colours of the sunsets and autumn leaves and be amazed again at the glory of the stars on a frosty night . Of course there will be both happiness and sadness, but throughout it all there is the knowledge that I am loved. God loves me and you and that’s what really gives me a feel good factor.

Those around the table found it a remarkable story to read and were amazed at the fortitude of Brian Keenan. It was a book to be finished. The next book could not be different....it is A painted house by John Grisham. We will meet in the pub at 7.30 on Thursday 13 October �Doggy Dilemmas Puppy/Dog Training classes One to Ones Dog Walking Dog Boarding Contact Debs on 01380 730564 or 07966 617617 email:debsmackay@hotmail.com www.doggy-dilemmas.co.uk Trevor Hale NPTC Certified (arb) Fully Insured Tree Surgery Covering All Aspects including Chipping Stump Grinding & Hedging 07737934777 www.wiltshiretreesurgery.co.uk Professional Reliable Service �Pet’s Corner: Meet Anubis Gillies Hi, my name is Anubis Gillies. I came to Poulshot with my family 3 years ago. I love my garden with all of its nooks and crannies, trees to climb and lots of places to sleep the days away. I did have my daughter then but sadly she died 18 months ago as did my big brother Gandalf. I still have my sister but you can read about her in another post. I am 12 years old and a very friendly cat as anyone who comes to visit will tell you. The only problem for visitors is that they are all likely to leave covered in my beautiful soft black fur! I am especially fond of people who are not partial to cats and will make a bee-line for these people. I am very gentle, most of the time, and if I find broken animals I will always take them to my Mum for her to fix, she usually manages it although she is not too keen when I bring in my pet mice and let them loose, we usually have a great chase around the living room as she tries to catch them to release them back into the garden. We have fun at night as Mum tries to get me in, she doesn’t like me out in the dark and I take great delight in hiding until the last minute and then strolling in in time for bed. I am not fond of dogs but will mainly tolerate other cats and hedgehogs, more of that another time. �The Tranquil Moment Health and Beauty clinic The Tranquil Moment health and beauty clinic is set in the beautiful village of Poulshot, just 2 miles from Devizes.

The first hoard he discovered as he walked to a neighbouring field, and over two days he found nearly 200 silver coins. The next 9me he was there he discovered a huge pot filled to the brim with over 52,000 small denomina9on bronze coins, the pot was more than a metre tall and was buried more than a metre below ground. The coins, now in the Bri9sh Museum, is the biggest hoard of Roman coins ever found. Everyone who a`ended found the presenta9on interes9ng and entertaining. Thanks to Nicky and Kate Hunloke who allowed us to use their hall due to the unavailability of the Village Hall.

Page 16 �TOWNSEND BARN NURSERY Tel: 01380 828141 | email: office@townsendbarnnursery.co.uk Throughout the summer months the children have been busy making the most of our woodland gardens at Townsend Barn Nursery - come rain or shine! We did not let the rain stop our sports day at the end of term, and were able to have a lovely dry afternoon of fun and games. I think the competitiveness of the dad’s tug of war is still being talked about today! We also hosted a very emotional graduation party in the village hall as we waved goodbye to 19 Barn Owl children. Although this was sad it was also a proud moment for us to know all of the children making the transition were happy, secure and ready for primary school. This term sees us welcome lots of new families to Townsend Barn Nursery. Everyone has settled well and seems very excited about their daily life in the different nursery rooms. The children are initially learning about the topic ’All About Me’. This is a good way to help the children settle and develop confidence while bonding with their peers and learning new routines and boundaries. Looking ahead we will explore seasonal change in our woodland garden – for example gathering cones, conkers and acorns; exploring British wildlife and looking at different cultures and communities. This month we will be celebrating Harvest Festival and Diwali and before we know it planning for Christmas! In January we will have limited availability in our baby room so if anyone would like more information please do not hesitate to contact us.

The Asian hornet is smaller than our native hornet and poses no greater risk to human health than a bee. However, they do pose a risk to honey bees.The hornet was found by a beekeeper and other beekeepers in the immediate area have found hornets hawking in front of their hives. There is a 20 Km incident zone around the hive and the National Bee Unit ( NBU) are currently looking for the hive. If they find it they will destroy it. Fortunately the NBU have been expecting it for some time and had a contingency plan ready to go. They have caught several hornets and looked at their genetics and these hornets are related to those in France and Alderney. So they have not come in from China. This is important because they are obviously breeding from quite a small genetic pool and have been weakened from inbreeding. As you may know, if the hornets gain access to a colony they will bring the rest of their nest mates and the colony will be destroyed very quickly. Our European bees have no natural defences. They are currently examining every hive in the incident zone. But the problem is they cannot be sure they know the whereabouts of every beekeeper and every hive.

Tomorrow they’ll be a little older than they were today. This day is a gift. Just breathe, notice, study their faces and little feet. Relish the charms of the present. Enjoy today, it will be over before you know it. I came upon the above quote quite unexpectedly and as I was preparing to return to Rowde Academy it struck a chord. “Enjoy today…” It is great to be back at Rowde and to be part of a new academic year. The children seemed excited and pleased to be back, and welcoming new children into our reception class is a real privilege. For them this is the start of their formal education. What a journey they will be on, and, as I say every year, how quickly the years will pass. So as teachers and parents and carers alike, we need to enjoy every day with the children. One of the first things that we have done as a whole school is to create our Rowde Promise. This is where we set down our promises to each other. It is based around ‘respect’, for each other, the environment and ourselves. The children and teachers jointly decided what we were promising and how that will look in our school. Our School Promise At Rowde Academy we promise that we will be respectful by... being helpful caring – for others, for property and the world around us being honest sharing being kind being smart smiling being prepared celebrating others’ efforts speaking politely to each other trying our best listening We will all keep our promise. Already there are many events in our school diary including a Macmillan tea party and a whole school trip to the pantomime in December, as well as that we are going to be celebrating the tenth anniversary of the new school building. It’s full steam ahead! Here’s to a great year. Lorraine ONE VOICE COMMUNITY CHOIR Sing with All Your Heart and Feel Alive!

The collecting hobby is a modern descendant of the cabinet of curiosities, common among scholars who acquired unusual and interesting items from the 16th century onwards. Buying and collecting antiques can lead to a life time obsession, a time travel through history to understand its past or simply adorn your beautiful home. The reason for purchasing an antique is always as individual as the person buying them. The pleasure they can bring is infinite; whether it be a magnificent piece of Georgian furniture, a stunning art deco tea service or a beautiful piece of Victorian jewellery. The best way to learn and understand antiques is to handle them. Visit antique centres and shops, fairs and flea markets, auctions and museums, even homes containing fine antiques. It can take a life time to appreciate, identify and understanding them and there are many factors that determining their value: • • • • • Quality of the piece Maker Period it was made Condition Sometimes rarity But often antique’s condition and age are just a matter of taste and style. Exposure and education brings an understanding and appreciation we never had before. Fashion for different periods and styles come and go, but the most important thing to do is always by what you love and appreciate (and of course the best quality money will allow!). The most important thing when looking at antiques is understanding history, what was happening socially at the time? The table below will allow you to prepare your knowledge for your future antique hunting and over the coming months I hope to impart knowledge understanding around a diverse array of antiques to enable you to search and purchase with enjoyment and confidence. �Period and style of furniture Dates British Monarch British Period 1558-1603 1603-1625 1625-1649 1649-1660 1660-1685 1685-1688 1688-1694 1694-1702 1702-1714 1714-1727 Elizabeth I James I Charles I Commonwealth Charles II James II William & Mary William III Anne George I Elizabethan Jacobean Carolean Cromwellian Restoration Restoration William & Mary William III Queen Anne Early Georgian 1727-1760 George II Georgian American Period Style Gothic Early Colonial Baroque (c. 1620-1700) William & Mary Dutch Colonial Queen Anne Chippendale (c. 1750) Early Federal (c. 1790-1810) American Directoire (c. 1798-1804) American Empire (c. 1804-1815) 1760-1811 George III Georgian 1812-1820 1820-1830 1830-1837 George III George IV William IV Regency Regency William IV Later Federal (c. 1810-1830) 1837-1901 Victoria Victorian Victorian 1901-1910 Edward VII Edwardian 1910-1936 1936 George V Edward VIII Art Nouveau (c. 1890-1920) Art Deco (c. 1920-1939) Rococo (c. 1695-1760) Neo-classical (c. 1755-1805) Empire (c. 1799-1815) Regency (c. 1812-1830) Eclectic (c. 1830-1880) Arts & Crafts (c. 1880-1900) Art Nouveau (c. 1890-1920) Art Deco (c. 1925-1939) Richardson & Paige INTERIORS Specialist Upholstery www.richardsonandpaige.co.uk Come and visit us at our website or our workshop: Unit 1, Manor House Yard, Poulshot, Devizes SN10 1RY 01380 828228 07974 454747 Traditional, Modern and Bespoke Specialist Upholstery tailored loose covers; new furniture made to order; antiques; modern reupholstery; recovering & repairs; free quotes deliveries Members of the Association of Master Upholsterers & Soft Furnishers �Get out the pans…..

Once sautéd remove from heat and add spoonful of cream and salt & pepper 4. Meanwhile whisk up eggs, flour and baking powder and then gradually add the oil and the milk (recipe says milk should be slightly warm but I didn't bother), then add the cheese. I also added some walnuts and some fresh rosemary - you can add whatever you've got and whatever you like 5. Add the onion & lardons mixture 6.

It met to discuss an applica9on by Mr Mike Wilson, in support of his good Speedwatch ac9vi9es. AAer much delibera9on and debate it was agreed that funding for the requirements would be be`er sought through the Parish Council. So far the Commi`ee has granted funds to the sum of £8,750, including a loan of £2,500. This leaves a total of £141,250 in the ki`y (£143,450 with loan paid back). As a reminder to readers the aim of the Poulshot Community Fund is to promote community ac9vity within the Parish by providing financial support for community organisa9ons working for the benefit of the residents of the village. The Community Fund Commi`ee can award grants to new as well as exis9ng organisa9ons which either represent or are located in the Village together with individual residents. Applica9ons can cover a whole plethora of interests ranging from village ameni9es and facili9es, through older/young people, arts and culture, sport and recrea9on to enhancing the environment. The sky is almost the limit! If readers consider that they have an idea which will benefit Poulshot and wish to obtain an applica9on form they should apply to the Community Fund Secretary (Elizabeth Mar9n) by email: poulshoptparishcouncil@gmail.com or by phone: 01380 828206 or to Community Fund Commi`ee members who will also help advise and support where required. The applica9on form is simple to complete but to help the Commi`ee in its delibera9ons it should contain as much informa9on as possible about the project, including a descrip9on, how it will be managed, the costs and benefits to the community.

Hope to see you. �Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness; not yet, more like hurricanes and storms , and batten down the hatches , not just in America but here also. Where has the summer gone ? The holiday seems a distant memory and in our case a very good one with several celebrations, but the children are now back at school and as someone said to me the other day, it is time to get a bit of structure back in our lives. I feel like that with my church observances. During the summer, its lovely to visit other churches whether in this country or abroad, but now I feel ready to fall back into the pattern of things. Soon it will be time for our harvest festivals, (8th October Poulshot) very important times in the rural church, and all those marrows will be safely gathered in , and offered up I expect. Its amazing to think that whilst half the world is suffering from storms and floods and hurricanes , so many people do not have access to clean water, and so in Seend water bottles full of pennies are being collected for Water Aid. If anyone in Poulshot would like to add to that, I’m sure that Seend church would be delighted, and not least because the name of our benefice is now Wellsprings At the time of writing, the world seems a very difficult and depressing place with horrid threats coming out of North Korea , and once again so many refugees fleeing their homelands , this time from Myanmar . When we say our prayers in church sometimes we don’t know where to begin, but something special happened to me this morning as I was going to say morning prayer. There in the porch in Keevil church, above the central light , was a little nest of housemartins, and peeking out from it were two little heads. When we came out from church, they had gone, flown, who knows where. What a fabulous example of hope and faith in the future. I’m not sure whether they will come back to the same nest next year; perhaps someone out there will tell me, but they have shown what it is to be alive. They have faith in the future and have gone out to find the world. Now that might all sound a bit sentimental, and far fetched , but its in these little observations that we can find hope for the future. God showed himself and goes on showing himself in the beauty of his creation. We cry out in the storms of life whether metaphorical or physical, and he/she responds with the still small voice, and that voice says “You are all my creation and I love you”. So don’t be depressed; go out into the countryside and notice the way nature is preparing for the future, for the hard times of winter.. There’s a lovely children’s hymn which sums it up for me. Autumn days when the grass is jeweled and the silk inside a chestnut shell. Jet planes meeting in the air to get refueled , all these things I love so well, so I musn’t forget, no I musn’t forget to say a great big thank you, I musn’t forget. So, faith hope and love and the greatest of them all is love.

This was because of the number of ponds that used to be on the green. Maybe it should change its name this year to Poulshot Ducks! On March 28th our usual pair of ducks arrived hanging around the garden eating the bird seed and swimming in the pond, disappearing every night to return in the morning. Joining them on April 11th a pair of Moorhens also arrived.! ( I keep a diary of the garden visitors). The pair of ducks left as they usually did every year to go elsewhere. Around the beginning of May a lone duck came to have food and left, but on the 13th May she arrived on the patio again with 6 ducklings! Two days later there were only 5! She had, unknown to us, built a nest near our small pond which is covered with low pines trees. After they had fed she took them back to the nest and returned when they wanted to feed. The ducklings were drinking water out of the manhole cover 'cups', so I filled a 12" plant pot stand with water, they not only drank from it, but also used it as good 'pond' to swim in. As they grew they swam up and down in a grow bag tray I had filled with water further down the garden, they quickly became juvenile delinquents, now running down the garden after feeding to the tray with mother in hot pursuit to keep them in check. The moorhens had built a nest on the water lilies in the big pond and hatched one baby (we called it the ugly duckling!) By 25th May, the young ducklings had now started to use the big pond, so war was declared by the moorhens , but Duck was having non of it and fought back and won! Duck and her young had more or less wrecked the Moorhens nest, so they built a new one and promptly laid 3 more eggs of which only one hatched. On June 15th, at just four weeks old, mother and babies started to disappear in the late afternoon, we discovered the duck had decided to remove them from our garden for the night and returning in the morning, by as most of you will know waddling up and down the pavement and roads of the village. I followed them as they zigzagged up the road from one side to the other, shepherding them and trying to flag down the faster cars, (as recommended by the duck website!) I think quite a few of us did this when they were on the move! they went up to the pond at Planks dairy, and I understand from Kate Hunloke they went on to the Rectory and then onto the green to the Major's pond in the corner and then back again, I expect some of you will know where else they went!!! �June 22nd a single duck appeared in the morning with no ducklings, so we assumed that they had fledged, but no! on the 23rd June duck plus 5 arrived back again, they had learnt to flap their wings and try to take off, but they were obviously not yet strong enough to fly . Mother duck was not seen again after 21st July, so the journey up and down the road continued without her, with the dominant duckling taking the lead. They were visiting intermittently until 29th July when the ducklings visited leaving our drive at 7.30pm and it was to be their last journey up the road and did not return to us again. Although I was very sad to see them go, I think we all hope that they have flown off join the ducks on the Crammer or the canal. The duck was an amazing mother. She managed to rear all 5 ducklings (all drakes) through all the horrors of traffic, cats, foxes, and buzzards. It was an enjoyable time and a privilege for all of us to watch them grow. Roll on next year and maybe mother duck will be back with another brood !!

There were 3 other ladies present, 2 from Calne and one from Bathford. It was a very interesting visit with lots of laughter and chat. We watched whilst 6 meals were cooked and then got to sample them. First we had crudités and homemade humous dip. This was followed by Pick and mix pasta, Bacon and Pea Risotto, Salmon and Broccoli Rice, Galloway Beef and ale Casserole with potato and finally Courgetti Napoletana and fresh tomato sauce. Each course was absolutely delicious and I would recommend it to anyone interested in quick and easy meals. Our next meeting will be on 24th October at 7.30pm in the Village Hall. and we will be having a talk by Dawn Lawrence who speaks on behalf of animal charities and has written a third book called "2 steps behind".

We now join the small unique group of full day care private nursery providers in Wiltshire who have accomplished this. On the day of the inspection the inspector observed “exemplary teaching skills” and seen “children flourish and make excellent progress”. Having been the nursery manager for four years it has been my goal to achieve this outcome, and it makes me proud when an inspector too can observe happy children, parents and staff in our small rural nursery.

Would  You  Like  To  See  Cricket  Once  More  on  Poulshot  Green?   As  a  recent  ‘blow  in’  to  Poulshot,  I  have  unfortunately  missed  the  feats  of  cricketing  skill  and   prowess  that  used  to  take  place  on  a  regular  basis  on  the  Green. However,  a  baby  boom  coupled  with  the  fond   yearnings  of  passed  cricket  glories  has  resulted  in   somewhat  of  a  resurgence  in  interest  for  the  pitch   to  be  re-­‐generated  to  its  former  ‘glory’  for  all  to   use.     The  stumbling  block  being  that  nobody  really   wants  to  take  ownership  of  the  re-­‐development   and  ongoing  maintenance. However,  I  have  decided   that  I  would  be  very  happy  to  take  this  on  over  the   next  couple  of  years  in  the  hope  that  it  will  bring   this  great  sport  back  onto  the  Green  on  a  more   frequent  basis  for  all  to  enjoy  on  a  Summer’s  day. I  will  be  popping  around  all  the  houses  in  the   village  over  the  next  couple  of  weeks  to  gauge  the  appetite  to  see  village  cricket  brought  back  to  the   Green  and  pending  sufNicient  interest,  will  progress  things  to  the  next  stage  in  the  form  of   a  formal  proposal  to  the  Parish  Council.

As  I  write  this,  the  world  is  in  the  midst  of  a  crisis  caused  by   unprecedented  migra9on.  In  the  midst  of  thousands  of   words  being  wriPen  and  spoken,  this  was  my  contribu9on   on  Radio  Wiltshire.  I  am  sure  you  have  seen  the  horrifying   photo  of  the  drowned  body  of  Aylan  Kurdi,  the  3  year  old   washed  up  on  the  beach  in  Turkey.  He  died;  his  brother   Galpi  died  and  his  mother  died.  The  family  had  been   displaced  several  9mes  by  the  war  in  Syria.  They  ran  from   Damascus  in  2012  and  had  to  con9nue  running  –  Aleppo,     Kobane  and  Turkey.  Aylan  had  spent  his  en9re  life  running.       I  wonder  if  the  photo  moved  you  to  tears?  Or  have  we  seen  so  many  pictures  of  so  many   children  in  so  many  tragic  situa9ons  that  our  hearts  have  become  just  a  liPle  less   compassionate?”  Please  God,  never  let  the  suffering  of  others  become  so  common  place   that  it  fails  to  move  me”.  But  what  can  I  do?  The  crisis  is  so  huge  and  complex.  It  can  only   be  dealt  with  by  governments.  Whatever  I  do  can  only  be  a  drop  in  the  ocean.  You  may   have  heard  the  story  of  the  starfish?  An  old  man  is  walking  on  the  beach  aAer  a  storm  has   washed  up  thousands  of  starfish.  He  sees  a  small  boy  picking  some  up  one  by  one  and   throwing  them  into  the  sea  before  they  died  in  the  heat  of  the  day.    “I’m  afraid  you  won’t   really  be  able  to  make  much  of  a  difference,”  the  old  man  said.  The  boy  bent  down,  picked   up  yet  another  starfish  and  threw  it  into  the  ocean.  He  turned,  smiled  and  said,  “It  made  a   difference  to  that  one!”     But  maybe  we  don’t  really  want  to  make  a  difference.  Maybe  we  are  fearful,  wan9ng  to   protect  ourselves  from  the  suffering  of  others  in  case  it  becomes  our  suffering  too.    More   migrants  into  to  our  country?    What  about  homes  and  jobs  for  my  family?  Pressures  on   health  care  and  finances?  The  dangers  of  religious  fundamentalism  in  our  midst?  These  are   all  important  ques9ons,  but  are  they  more  important  than  relieving  the  suffering  of   families  facing  hunger,  thirst,  cold,  terror  and  death.“Please  God,  help  me  to  imagine  for  a   moment  being  in  their  shoes  so  that  I  can  understand  a  liPle  more  about  despair  and   despera9on.  Help  me  to  be  thankful  enough  for  what  I  have  to  be  pleased  to  share  just   some  of  it  with  others”.   As  a  Chris9an  I  am  challenged  to  welcome  the  stranger  and  love  them  as  I  love  myself.     When  Jesus  was  asked  by  a  rich  man,  “who  is  my  neighbour”  he  told  the  familiar  story  of   the  Good  Samaritan.“Please  God,  don’t  let  me  be  like  the  ones  who  walked  by  on  the  other   side  of  the  road  when  others  are  suffering”.    The  trouble  is  –  when  I  pray,  God  responds  by   saying,  “Maureen,  go  and  be  the  answer  to  your  prayer”.    It  is  as  St.  Teresa  of  Avila  said,   “Christ  has  no  body  now  on  earth,  but  yours.  No  hands,  no  feet  on  earth,  but  yours.  Yours   are  the  eyes  through  which  he  looks  with  compassion  on  this  world”.  “Please  God,  help  me   to  be  Christ-­‐like  in  my  response  to  Aylan’s  death  and  the  thousands  like  him.  Amen”.   The Revd.

As the nursery is set in the beautiful village of Poulshot we thought it was be nice to share some of our news with the Poulshot Village News readers. As we are open all year round we did not let the ever changing weather during the summer holidays deter us from enjoying our fabulous woodland gardens. Whatever the weather the children were still able to play and explore in the garden, feed the chickens and harvest the vegetables for their lunch. Parents and carers joined us for the school leavers graduation party in the village hall; it was a fun but emotional time for all of us. We are very thankful to be able to hire the village hall for such an event to enable us to fit everybody in! We also hosted a fantastic Sports Day in our gardens. We were so lucky with the weather (albeit at the last minute when the rain stopped) and it was lovely to be able to share our woodland gardens with nearly 300 children and adults. The new term sees us welcome many new children and their families to TBN and we are happy to say they have all settled in immediately ready to learn through play and extend their development in The Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum. Many children also make the transition throughout the nursery to the next room at this time of the year. We have three different aged rooms at TBN. The Caterpillars (baby room), Butterflies (toddler room) and the Barn Owls (pre-school room). Each child is treated as unique and throughout the term their interests will be captured through many different theme related topics chosen by themselves. Already this month the have children been collating a family tree to learn about their friends and family and this has then been extended to keeping healthy and caring for their bodies. Next week we are off to the dairy farm for a visit. We believe our British Values are extremely important to us and ensure the children have the opportunity to learn about the village around them. Our traditional values at TBN ensures we will shortly be celebrating Harvest Festival and later in the year, Christmas at St James’s Church.

I live a happy and contented life here in Poulshot. Being a pensioner many of my faculties are beginning to fail but I still have loads to do every day, mainly eat, walk (when I can) sleep and aggravate my Mum; and every now and then have a good go at Chris because once he kicked over my food bowl and I never let him forget it! The trouble with being old is I have lost many dear friends including Willow the lab and Jessie, but I’ve got two great new pals Bramley and Gala who give me a nudge or gentle paw to keep me ticking over. They even let me snuggle up to them, in return I let them use me as a hurdle. Mum has bought me a pet stroller as my legs ache and my back hurts but I don’t want to miss out on going for a walk - I love it.

Welcome Edwin’s Wine Choice A vin d’Alsace Gewurztraminer, which gives a good level of rich fruit on the nose, which follows through onto the palate, but gives a nice level of acidity on the finish, which works with the richness of the prunes and the acidity of the cider. £11.98 Mandrarossa Grecanico, as you might guess I really like this producer! A lighter and cleaner option from the Gewurztraminer, aromatic on the nose, and citrusy fruit on the palate, which will work with the acidity of the cider. £9.39 Domaine Du Barres 2014, a southern French red, a lovely warm blend of 70% syrah and 30% Grenache giving plenty of ripe mulberry fruit on the nose and palate, which will work with the richness of the prunes. £8.89 Available from Edwin Giddings, St John’s Street, Devizes. �Seasoned logs and kindling available Don’t shiver - We deliver Call James on 07970 781828 www.logstoyou.co.uk �Dates For The Diary September 26th 7:30pm Bonfire  Radicals  Folk  Concert,  Village  Hall October 3rd 7:30pm Harvest  Supper,  Village  Hall. 4th 9:15am Harvest  Thanksgiving,  St  Peter’s  Church 5th 2:00pm Benefice  Tea,  Chat  and  CraA,  Bulkington 7:30pm Poulshot  Farming  Club.  (Norwegian  Slides)  Village  Hall 12:15pm Benefice  Lunch,  The  Well,  Bulkington 7:30pm Benefice  Buzzzz  Group 7:30pm Poulshot  Readers,  Raven 7th 8th 13th 10am 7:30pm November December Devizes  Autumn  Fair Seend  &  District  Gardening  Club 27th 7:30pm Ladies  Group,  Village  Hall 21st 7:30pm Numisma9c  Society  AGM  and  Quiz  (Raven) 31st 3:30pm Kids  Halloween  Party,  Village  Hall 7:30pm Halloween  Party,  Village  Hall 1st 11:25am Cafe  Church,  Seend 2nd 7:30pm Poulshot  Farming  Club.  (Trug  Making)  Village  Hall 3rd 7:30pm Poulshot  Parish  Council  Mee9ng,  Village  Hall 6th 7:00pm Bonfire  Night  in  the  Poulshot  Green  Gardens 17th 7:30pm Ladies  Group,  “Ghost  Walk”  in  Devizes 18th 7:30pm Numisma9c  Society  (Raven) 20th 7:30pm Quiz  Night  fundraiser  (Georgia  Bullen)  Village  Hall 4th 7:30pm Numisma9c  Society  Christmas  Dinner  (Raven) 7th 7:30pm Poulshot  Farming  Club.  (AGM  and  Games)  Village  Hall 8th tbc Ladies  Group  Christmas  Meal  (Raven) 15th tbc Poulshot  Over  60s  Christmas  Meal.  Village  Hall If you would like your event included in this list please contact us on news@mypoulshot.com �Places  to  go  -­‐  Jane  Lark  recommends   Friends  expect  the  characters  I  write  to  be  inspired  by  the  people  I  meet,  but  you’re   all   safe   I’m   not   inspired   by   people,   I   am   inspired   by   places.   So   I   had   an   idea   for   a   monthly  column  when  our  new  editor  asked  for  content  ‘Places  to  go!’  I  thought  that   every  month  I  could  recommend  a  trip  out  to  somewhere  rela9vely  local  and  my  first   is  very  close.     Who  has  been  to  the  Wiltshire  Museum  at  41  Long  St  in  Devizes?     If  you’re  like  me  you’ll  love  discovering  things  about  the  past.  I  have  oAen  been  seen  in  single  room   museum’s  in  villages.  We  had  one  in  Purton  ,where  we  used  to  live,  and  there  is  one  in  Cricklade  too,   both   on   the   other   side   of   Wiltshire.   So   I   am   used   to   small   museums,   with   vaguely   interes9ng   displays,   with  the  odd  real  gem  of  interest.  But  the  Wiltshire  Museum  in  Devizes  is  not  that.  We  are  very,  very   honoured   to   be   the   keepers   of   the   precious   displays   of   gold   ornaments   discovered   in   the   burial   mounds  around  Stonehenge.  I  didn’t  even  know  that  gold  had  been  discovered  at  Stonehenge  un9l  I   saw  it  on  the  news.     When  I  was  young  I  read  Katherine,  by  Anya  Seton,  and  then  I  read  the  ‘Mistletoe  and  Sword’.  From   that  moment  on  visions  of  the  life  around  the  ancient  monuments  of  Wiltshire  grasped  me,  and  I  have   since  discovered  loads  of  amazing  things  found  around  here  in  such  places  as  the  Bri9sh  Museum  in   London  as  well  as  some  of  the  small  village  museums.  So  how  wonderful  then  to  hear  that  in  Devizes   we  have  precious,  ancient,  gold  artefacts  found  so  close  to  where  we  live.     I  urge  you,  if  you  have  not  been,  to  go  up  to  the  museum  and  take  a  look.  It  is  not  just  displayed  but   put   together   against   images   of   the   people   they   believed   wore   it,   with   suggested   insights   into   the   lives   these   people   lead,   and   they   are   not   meagre   pieces   of   gold,   but   items   that   will   have   you   wondering   how  people  in  that  day  created  them.  So  this  is  the  first  place  I  would  suggest  you  go,  if  you  have  not   been,  Wiltshire  Museum.   hPp://www.visitwiltshire.co.uk/things-­‐to-­‐do/wiltshire-­‐museum-­‐p138153 �Trevor Hale NPTC Certified (arb) Fully Insured Tree Surgery Covering All Aspects including Chipping Stump Grinding & Hedging 07737934777 www.wiltshiretreesurgery.co.uk Professional Reliable Service Tuesday 13th October 2015 10am - 3.30pm Edwin Giddings, Devizes Delicatessan, Coffee Shop, Light Lunches, Fine Wines and Real Ales. “A hidden gem bursting with goodies” Open Monday–Saturday 9am–5.30pm.

His less than serious take on life comes over in all his comic songs, which are full of the flavour of the West Country. Coming from the village of Holt he makes no attempt to disguise his local accent and often uses the west country dialect in his lyrics and monologues. Songs are delivered with a ukulele banjo accompaniment and Sid is often joined by his oneman backing band, Rob Dady, who plays all the instruments that Sid can’t. His songs are very infectious and audiences are encouraged to singalong badly in all of the chorus’s. Sid will occasionally cover an Adge Cutler favourite because audiences love it, but his original songs ‘Stabbin Ants With A Pitchfork’ and ‘I Can’t Remember Anything About You’, are fast becoming favourites in West Country pubs and folk clubs. Sid doesn’t know it, but apparently he has charisma and despite the erratic diary of his accompanist Rob, Sid is quite capable of holding an audience on his own. �Connect2Wiltshire  Bus  From  Poulshot  To  RUH  Bath   Connect2  provides  you  with  a  choice  of  bookable  journeys  from  Devizes  and   surrounding  villages,  such  as  Poulshot,  to  the  Royal  United  Hospital  in  Bath.   Use  it  to  -­‐  APend  hospital  appointments;  Accompany  someone  to  hospital;   Visit  someone  you  know  in  hospital  or  Get  to  work  at  the  hospital Poulshot  Web  Pages   (The  World  Looking  At  Poulshot)   www.poulshot.org.uk   Email  to  poulshotparishcouncil@gmail.com �are you being harassed, bullied or intimidated by piles of unironed and creased clothing. if so then you should call …. the i-team domestic ironing services Personal Items Domestic household items Shirt/Blouse (hung) - £1.20 Duvet covers/Sheets Shirt/Blouse (hung and starched) - £1.50 Single - £2.50 Trousers/Skirts - £1.00 Double - £3.50 Jumpers/ Cardigan – £1.00 Polo shirts/T-shirt/Tops - £ 1.00 King size - £4.50 Pillow cases x2 - £1.00 Dress, Short - £1.50 Towels - Hand/Tea - £0.50 Dress, Long - £2.50 Bath/large - £1.00 All kids items of clothing half price MINIMUM CHARGE OF £15.00 £1.50 collection/delivery charge outside of Rowde Contact: Stacey / Brigette Telephone: 01380 829910 / 07999 818741 Email : iteamironing@gmail.com For T&C’s visit www.i-teamironing.com August Draw of the 100 Club 1st Prize £25 Jean Perrett 2nd Prize £15 Angela Bullen 3rd Prize £10 Molly Service It is now time for the annual subscription of £15 to be paid to your friendly collector, which will ensure you are included in future draws, including the big Christmas Draw with the special prizes of £100, and two of £50.

The “experts” say that this is due to global warming which makes summers cooler! Anyway we are into autumn as the leaves are falling and the countryside is preparing itself for winter. Wiltshire Council must do the same and stocks of grit are ready for the winter and employees are briefed and ready to do their bit when the freezing nights and days arrive. Work is also needed to prepare for rain and the resultant floods. It is a sad fact of life that flooding will never be totally irradiated but there is much that we can do to improve flood alleviation. This does not just involve the Council,- it also involves each and every one of us in our community. One truth that I have learnt during my seven years of working in flood alleviation in Wiltshire is that locals know best. So if you see autumn’s leaves blocking a drain or gully as you walk past PLEASE do your bit for our community and pull them out. Who knows, it could be your house that you save from flooding! There are also all sorts of consultations that are being organised both locally and by Wiltshire Council. These are always genuine consultations whether they are on housing, planning or more local matters. It is really important that when you are asked for your opinion that you give it at the time. It really is no use complaining at a later date when some decision or another has been made and local opinion has not been given. This is our community and we need a real say on what happens in it whether it is by consultation, ballot box or survey. This is particularly important with the impending Seend Housing Needs Survey so please when your copy arrive do complete it and send it back. More locally we have seen concerns expressed over local traveller sites and these have become a real local issue. We all accept that gypsies and travellers need somewhere to live and that they should have the same rights as the rest of us to live in this Country and the countryside. Where the local difficulty has arisen is that a perception has grown that travellers seem to have more planning rights than the settled community. Some of this is actually the result of local consultation where people were asked for their views. The settled community made it clear that they would rather not have traveller sites in villages and the travelling community made it clear that they would prefer to live on the edge of rather than in villages. So that is what we have in gypsy and traveller planning guidance and this is a classic example of taking part in a consultation. However I think that we may just be at the end of the latest local traveller planning saga with a much more modest application having been submitted for completion of the Littleton Site and one which seems to be met with some tacit local approval.

SEEND AND DISTRICT GARDENING CLUB Well if it’s September it must be Gardening Club again - and so it is! We had our first meeting of the new season and the usual suspects turned up again, just like perennial weeds… Our speaker was Aldetha Raymond, lecturer at Lackham College who also farms locally, and she let us into the secrets of plant propagation. It looks so easy in the hands of an expert but we went away full of enthusiasm to have a go at what we’ve learnt - care and patience required! The competition - ‘Houseplant’ - was won by Sylvia Ewin. Our programme for the coming year includes a day trip to Hestercombe House and gardens in Somerset, provisionally booked for Saturday July 9th, 2016 - they come highly recommended by everyone who’s been there. The cost is likely to be in the region of £30 but the greater the numbers, the lower the price is likely to be. If you would like to join us call Carole or me on 01380 871259. Next month’s meeting, on Tuesday October 13th, 7.30 pm, in the Irene Usher Pavilion, Rusty Lane, features Rob Bryand talking to us about ‘Hydroponics’ and the competition subject is ‘An Autumnal Flower Arrangement’. Do join us - we’ll be delighted to see you, whether you’re a gardener or not - I’m not but nobody seems to mind. �ERLESTOKE HOUSE FARM SHOP HMP ERLESTOKE DEVIZES WILTSHIRE SN10 5TU HMP  Erlestoke  is  pleased  to  announce  the  opening  of  our  new  Farm  Shop  to  Press  and   Public!   Thursday October 1 2015 12.00.

She played the organ for the last time at the morning service on Sunday 6 September, after which she was presented with a gift from the congregation to thank her for all she has done for the church. For those fifteen years, Pam has been totally reliable, playing not only at church services but also at many weddings and funerals held at St.Peter's. She did this quietly and modestly, never wanting to draw attention to herself or make her playing more important than the o c c a s i o n .

In keeping with my usual musings upon the weather, I think you’ll agree with me that October has had quite a variety of meteorological events even in this country; first a hot day , the next wet, the next windy and the poor trees don’t seem to know where they are ; a few gentle leaves have been falling but at the 9me of wri9ng no frost yet and so most of the leaves are clinging on. But November is the 9me for the falling or as they say over the pond, the Fall, not least as we think of the poppies at the Bri9sh Legion Fes9val and Remembrance service at the Albert Hall. I am always moved when I see so many poppies just driAing down, in silence and on and on they come as so many snowflakes . Who knows which of the service men and women they will fall on? Its amazing and wonderful that every year we s9ll don’t forget . My father served in Bomber Command during the 2nd world war, and over the years as a priest I have presided over so many Remembrance day services; big ones , formal ones, services round the war memorials in the villages of rural Oxfordshire , and many others, but the one that always s9cks out for me is the one I abended at a school I taught at in Ascot. It was a lovely school set in rhododendron clad grounds. The lible children gathered round the flagpole at the top of the hill , and were brilliantly led through the service, and silently took on board the reason that they were there , and they thought about the bravery of soldiers, as well as the tragedy of those who had died ,but then something remarkable happened . They went down the hill and they played. It was a summer’s day (not November ) and they had their lible sun hats on , and their blue dresses and they just played, and it struck me then as it does to this day that that is what my father fought for. He fought for all the children of this na9on in order that they could have the freedom to play in this beau9ful country of ours. And so now every 9me I am asked to give an address at a remembrance day service, I think of that , and I make sure that my address talks of the future as well as the past, and the resolve and promise that we owe to all those who have served in the armed forces and who have lost their lives, the promise to really try to make the world a beber place where there will be no more war. Children can make that promise before Almighty God. Can we ? Jane Knowles For Remembrance day services see the church services page. Its also the season for All Saints and All Souls and we are thrilled that the Bishop of Salisbury, the Rt Revd. Nicholas Holtam will be coming to take our morning service at Seend on 29th October, and there will also be a service for All Souls at 3pm on the same day in Bulkington , where there will be an opportunity to light a candle in memory of those who have died.

My final service as your Rector will be on January 1st 2017 at 10.00 in Seend Church. I hope you will be able to join me – maybe bleary eyed and hung over from your New Year celebra<ons! I am planning for new beginnings for me and for this Benefice as we con<nue on our journey through life which will eventually end, I believe, with God. Is this an ending or is it a new beginning?? I recently came across the following thoughts wriPen by people who were at various stages of their journey through life: “I have learned that you can’t hide a piece of broccoli in a glass of milk” (age 7) “I learn that just when I get my room the way I like it, mum makes me clean it up” (age 13) “I’ve learned that silent company is oCen more healing than words of advice” (age 37) “I’ve learned that regardless of your relaDonship with your parents, you miss them terribly when they die” (age 54) “I have learned that making a living is not the same thing as making a life” (age 61) “I’ve learned that even when I have pains, I don’t have to be one” (age 84) “I have learned that knowing God becomes more important the nearer you get to dying. I just wish I had started the search earlier in my life” (age 95) We are all on a journey in one way or another, moving on, moving through; experiencing new beginnings and beginning new phases of life. The journey might be one of ageing; it might be one of illness or bereavement; it might be one connected to a new school or college, a new job, a new home or a new rela<onship. There are physical journeys which involve planes and boats and trains; there are emo<onal journeys related to self understanding and transforma<on; there are spiritual journeys where we ask ques<ons of ourselves in rela<on to the universe and to God. Human life never stops s<ll. Our lives are always moving on, always changing and the journey involves blessings and pain, laughter and tears, happiness and sorrow, forgiveness and being forgiven, receiving and giving, learning and growing. So what have I learnt on this par<cular part of my journey? Among so many other things I have learnt that Seend, Bulkington and Poulshot are beau<ful and vibrant places to live and work; that the vast majority of our community are very welcoming and accep<ng of the church and open to spiritual things and that there is a great generosity in support of the churches in our midst. I have learnt that there is a strong Chris<an family here - worshipping, loving, growing in confidence in their faith and seeking to serve the needs of others. I have seen God at work in this place. He is here. He is always here. Dare I ask what have you learnt from me? I hope you have learnt that wherever you are on your own pilgrimage through life, whether you have faith nor not, whether you believe in certain things or not, that God loves you very, very much and longs for you to know that love in a life- changing way. I hope you have learnt that you are accepted as you are by God and by the church. I hope you know that the church is not only a place for those who are sure and certain but is also a place for the doubters and the weak and the failed. I hope that I have helped you to understand a liPle more and grow a liPle more. If I have hurt or failed you, please forgive me. We have s<ll some <me together and will celebrate Advent and Christmas together, so this is not yet the end - but I have been considering a suitable blessing for you, finding one from the Old Testament: The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.

William Spinage does not appear. He has been edited out. William was born in 1621. His father, Anthony Spinage, was a puritan who had no love of the monarchy and brought his son up in the same beliefs. In 1640 William graduated from Exeter College, Oxford. Two years later the differences between parliament and King Charles I erupted into civil war, with William's father eventually becoming a captain in Oliver Cromwell's army. William's religious beliefs reflected those of the parliamentarians and in 1644 he replaced the rector of Poulshot. By the 1650s the war had ended and the king had been executed. The Puritans reigned supreme under Cromwell and everything was going well for William. He was described as 'a good philosopher and disputant' and 'among the most satisfactory ministers in Wiltshire.' One person who disagreed, not surprisingly, was William Grove, the minister who had been removed as rector when William Spinage had been appointed. By an ordinance of parliament, William was supposed to pay one fifth of his yearly salary to the man he had replaced. This he did not do, stating that William Grove had £160 a year from his wife's property, whereas William had a wife and six children to support, and could not manage if £20 was taken from his living. William won the day. However, the good times for William were about to come to an end. Following the death of Oliver Cromwell and the failure of his son to rule satisfactorily as his successor, the country decided in 1660 to restore the monarchy and with it the Church of England. In 1662 all ministers were required to revert to the Book of Common Prayer. Any who refused would be ejected from their church. William was one 2,000 ministers ejected in this way. William Grove returned as rector of Poulshot and the non-conformist years of St Peter's church under William Spinage conveniently forgotten. William moved to London where he died in 1665, although apparently not of the plague. He was buried at St Helen's Bishopsgate. In 1891 the crypt of St Helen's was cleared for health reasons. In death, as in life, William was ejected from a church and now lies in a mass grave in the City of London cemetery.

Can you believe it, they called me Isis? You can imagine what that means for me at the airport. To be fair, I had the name long before that other lot, as did my namesake, a goddess from ancient Egypt, where the name means “throne”. It’s no wonder I’m so skittish. I am a dark Calico coloured cat, and just a little sensitive. I was born under the sofa in my home in Hampshire. I liked it there but love my home in Poulshot, lots of places to hide. I like to spend my days relaxing under the shed. Apart from that my favourite activity is scratching to come in the back window, then immediately meowing to go out the front door again. It’s great fun and makes sure my mum gets plenty of exercise. One thing I don’t like is for people to move, talk or breathe nearby when I’m eating, it’s just rude, and so I run away if people do this, to make a point, although perhaps this is a bit passiveaggressive of me. I make it up to people by letting them scratch my ears. Sometimes I think they don’t realise it’s allowed, especially my dad, but I encourage him by head-butting his hand and pawing at his arm until he gets the idea, or if he thinks it’s time to stop before it really is. I do, I must confess, bully my sister, Anubis (you can tell my mum is obsessed with ancient Egypt, can’t you?), but that’s what sisters are for. �Picture Framing Oils, water colours, prints, photographs etc Plain or wash lined mounts Choose from over 50 mouldings Quick service Please ring for appointment Juliet Wilmot The Garden Barn, ChiYoe 01380 850314 Darren Sheppard Traditional, Perfectionist, Painter and Decorator.

We were delighted that the children and parents of Townsend Barn Nursery managed to collect 30kg of dried and tinned goods that were gratefully accepted for this good cause. Sarah Wheeler, Nursery Manager THE POULSHOT LADIES’ READING GROUP Our recent “experimental” session was very different from usual; with a choice from 16 very varied library books, we all chose 1 or 2 and then reported back. This gave some very interesting reviews and at the close 4 of the books were shared by others. I believe the review by “dog” was the least useful.!! Our final meeting this year will be on Wednesday, November 30th, when Joyce Arnold has kindly invited us to her home. Our book is the latest Helen Dunmore published this year; “Exposure” I would like to thank Wiltshire Libraries who have an excellent “Book Group” ticket allowing us to search their catalogue and then borrow for the longer lending time of 6 weeks.

The planning consent for the redevelopment of the farmyard buildings to form 9 dwellings (including 4 affordable) was approved in May 2015 and includes the upgrading of the surface to bonded gravel and over a wider width than currently is shown on the Poulshot Village Green consultation document. However, in view of the current status of this access strip of land is Village Green, these upgrades are not something which even the parish council, as the landowner, has the power to agree to. Consequently, it is necessary to formally deregister the strip of land in question to facilitate its resurfacing as per the planning approval. If permitted, the access driveway will then be resurfaced over its new 5.8 metre width with bell mouth at the junction with The Green in bonded gravel, with granite sets at the entrance to the farmyard as shown on the approved planning drawings. The adjacent areas would be reinstated as grass. These are the only physical changes envisaged. As part of the application, a new area of land is proposed to be registered as replacement land with full Village Green status. This is labelled E, F, G and H on the enclosed plan. This replacement land forms part of a wider field, labelled E, J, K L, which now has permitted recreational use and will be dedicated to the parish for public use at the same time, via a legally binding agreement. For information, this wider area (excluding the replacement land specified) is not included as proposed ‘Village Green’ as this brings many restrictions which may hinder its future enjoyment.

Both were gladly received, for they were significant amounts, the Townsend Nursery being 30 kg. and the St. Peter’s 42 kg. We were asked to thank everyone who contributed to either of these gi<s, for they are much appreciated and will be well used. Taking food to the Food Bank is quite a humbling experience, and certainly gives one much “Food For Thought”. The volunteers who receive, sort, store, repack and distribute the boxes of food to those in need are very worthy people, giving of their Ame and energy to help others. It is amazing that in the Devizes area in 2016 there is such a need for this service, and that it has to be manned by volunteers. Indeed, in recent Ames the need seems to have grown. Being raised over 60 years ago in more austere Ames, we did not know then of the need for Food Banks, certainly not on this scale. It says much about today’s society that there are people in such need but, thankfully, there are also others generously willing to help. Anyway, many thanks to all who contributed to these two harvest gi<s. Of course, the need goes on, so if you can help it is possible to leave Ans or packets of food (not fresh food) in the Food Bank box in St. Peter’s Church, or in the boxes near the checkout counters in the local supermarkets. Joyce and Brian Arnold. Festive Coffee Morning Following the success of last year’s event held in The Old Rectory, this year the venue will be The Old Farmhouse, Mill Lane on Saturday 19 November from 10.00 am Whilst enjoying your coffee and homemade cakes, you can purchase from the book stall, the cake stall, and, especially, the craft and festive gift stall provided by The India Shop There will be a good selection of gift items available, and this was very popular last year.

All proceeds will be donated to St. Peter’s Church. �Celebra0ng the Harvest For the local farmers this seems to have been a good year for the harvest so, hopefully, there has been much to celebrate. Here, in Poulshot, on October 8 and 9, we joined in the celebra@ons with two events, the Harvest Supper in the Village Hall, and the Harvest Service in the Church. Pleasingly, both were well aDended, enjoyable, and successful. On Saturday evening, over 50 people sat down to a very tasty supper with beef supplied by Mike Hues, baked potatoes cooked in Tim Gravina’s magic hay box, apple crumble from local apples served with cream supplied by Stuart Plank, all washed down with drink from Giddings (including 6X)! Much apprecia@on was expressed to those who cooked the food (Angela, Dankay, Joyce, Kate A. and Kate H.), and to Dot for marshalling the kitchen. A most successful local team effort. AWer the supper, we were royally entertained by a group new to us, The CroWon Stokers, and they were wonderful. Their repertoire included a variety of folk and blues songs, and we sang along to the music of Simon and Garfunkel, John Denver, the Irish Rover and the Leaving of Liverpool. We wish the trio well on their forthcoming Irish Tour – Thank You! The Sunday Harvest Service at St. Peter’s was enhanced by the very beau@ful arrangements of flowers, vegetables and fruit. Typically, Maureen Allchin gave a most appropriate and though_ul service, to round off a weekend in which we could celebrate how fortunate we are to live in this lovely area.

Mapmaking or cartography to give it its official name extends back millennia across every continent, and has been integral to man throughout history. Buying and collecting maps can seem confusing with so many maps all with differing forms, prices, subjects and condition. Your pocket may be the first thing to dictate what maps you collect, but also looking a specific era, country or type of map design may also be a consideration. There are often words used to describe maps and their features that you may not have come across but are often referred to in descriptions: Cartouche - a decorative element on the map that contains important information such as the scale and the title of the map. Cartouche is from the French meaning cartridge or seal. It will usually depict plants, scenery and people relating to the map, but can also just be a geometrical form surrounding the title information. Centerfold - a fold usually in the middle of the map where it was inserted in an atlas and bound. There can be small repairs on the top or bottom of a centre fold because of tears due to the usage. Colouring - refers to the actual colours applied to the map either mechanically or by hand. Early maps prior to the 1860s were mostly hand coloured. Border - this is different from a margin. A border is the outer limit of a map. It can either be decorative or just a neat line. Margin - the unprinted area around the map. This is different from the border. When we give dimensions for the paper of a map we are referring to the outer margins. British Elizabethan and Jacobean and Georgian era maps are of personal interest and are more common and affordable map producers: John Oiglby - 1600-1676 Price range £100-450 A Scottish translator, writer and cartographer he was appointed to publish the first effective road atlas of England and Wales the “Britannia Atlas” of 1675. This consisted of 100 strip road maps. He was commissioned to produce three volumes of road maps but completed only one before his death in 1676. The first volume entailed, Ogilby claimed, surveying over 23,000 miles of highway, of which only a proportion of which were included in Britannia. Price can vary depending on subject and condition. With Plate 80 - Oxford to Cambridge commanding the higher price of around £450 Oiglby’s map Oxford To Cambridge 1675 John Speed - 1552 – 1629 Price range £300 - £4000 John Speed is almost certainly the most famous of all English map-makers. Speed’s maps document a unique and historical view of Elizabethan and Jacobean Britain. His atlas The Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine was published in 1610/11, and contained the first set of individual county maps of England and Wales besides maps of Ireland [five in all] and a general map of Scotland. He is perhaps most importantly known for his first town maps as they are in most cases the first recorded information we have of their early appearance. Speed's often visually stunning county and country maps are highly collectable and understandably sought-after worldwide. �Speed’s map of Wilshire 1611 John Cary - 1754 -1835 Price range £20 - £120 Cary was originally a globe maker in London, He soon gained a reputation for his maps and globes, his atlas The New and Correct English published in 1787, that became the standard reference work in England. In 1794 Cary was commissioned by the Postmaster General to survey England's roads. This resulted in Cary's New Itinerary published 1 798, a map of all the major roads in England and Wales. He also produced Ordnance Survey maps prior to 1805. Althoough his maps were less decorative they are clear and fine and are more affordable to collectors. In 1789 he also published the Pocket Atlas Cary’s travelling companion. Cary’s Map Monmouthsire 1793 �Pride and Prejudice in the Village Hall. The universally acknowledged truth of a man’s fortune came into question yet again when Tinroof Productions, the group formed by Karen Hamer of Colorado Springs, USA, descended on Poulshot once more with her group of strolling players in August. After their successful visit here in 2012 together with a week of performances in Bath when the company performed the musical version of Sense and Sensibility, Karen, together with her family, has spent the intervening years setting Jayne Austen’s classic, Pride and Prejudice to music, and after trying it out in Nevada, brought it to Poulshot in preparation for another treat for Austen’s appreciation society in Bath. The group, comprising 23 actors and support members, arrived on a rainy August day and were treated to the hospitality of a Poulshot barbecue kindly organised by John and Beth Marten. Some13 willing volunteering couples who had offered to play host to the company, joined the party and got to meet their guests of the next four days. After an afternoon of unloading and checking costumes and props, finding additional items for the show and, for a lucky few, some relaxation after an overnight flight, the company met up in the Raven for dinner, together with some of the hosts. A lively and often noisy evening was thoroughly enjoyed by all of us who attended, and before long all were ready for battle with jet lag. Sunday morning found the group assembling at the Hall for a day out in Salisbury. Together with four of the hosts, we set off for a historical tour of Wiltshire, passing Stonehenge and Old Sarum on our way to the cathedral where a craft fair was in progress in the cathedral grounds. Some judicious chat with the Fair organisers resulted in the whole group entering the grounds for an extremely advantageous price, much to the delight of the younger members. We spent several hours at the cathedral before returning to Poulshot in time for those who wanted to partake in Evensong at St Peter’s. While the group were enjoying themselves in Salisbury, two sewing stalwarts, Mandy and Joyce, spent the afternoon putting finishing touches to a number of costumes in need of attention. The evening was rounded off with dinner generously provided by individual hosts. �Pride and Prejudice in the Village Hall - continued Monday was a work day for the company and the day was spent refining the production and preparing for a performance in the Hall in the evening as a thank-you to the hosts. Costumes were still being made and more props found - down to the wire preparations! While rehearsals were underway, elsewhere in the village hosts kindly prepared a fine supper to complete a wonderful evening of entertainment and food. The specially prepared concert version of the musical proved very successful and was well received by the very appreciative audience. Wine flowed and a memorable time was had by all. The younger members of the group decided that midnight was about the right time for a game of Vampires and spent half the night hurtling around the village scaring each other witless. It is to be hoped that not too many villagers were made aware of the screams and gurgles of mirth that ensued. Tuesday came all too quickly and by mid morning the group, props, costumes and even a mannequin borrowed from House of Fraser in Bath, were bundled into the coach which set off for three performances in Bath, held over the ensuing days. Feedback from those who watched and those who performed indicated that everyone had enjoyed their part in the success of the visit and firm friendships were cemented over the period. Very many thanks go to all those who “volunteered “ their help, especially the hosts who were so generous in opening their homes to a group of unknowns, the sewers (i.e. those that sewed as opposed to drains!) for their needlework, the cooks for the feast, especially those of you who brought deserts on the night. Without you all, Karen and co. would have had a very different story to tell when they got home. The reports we have had from Karen since her return to Colorado Springs have been continuous in her thanks and praise for the generosity and spirit of the people they met in Poulshot. As to the question - Will they come again? Who knows. Karen’s husband has just been advised that there will be a major company move to Texas next year which will mean the whole family moving on.Will this be the end of Tinroof? Only time will tell; but anyone who knows Karen will know the extraordinary driving force that makes this woman tick! �Poulshot Parish Council Village Contacts St Peter’s Church Chairman Mr Geoff ColleY (828465) Clerk Mrs Elizabeth Mar9n (828206) email: poulshotparishcouncil@gmail.com Council Members Mr Adrian Baber Mr Nicholas Hunloke Mr Steve Housby Mr Tim Coleman Mr Ben Hamilton Mr Tim Nixon Priest in Charge The Revd.

Successful Harvest Supper On Saturday 3 October, the Harvest Supper was held in the Village Hall, and it proved to be an enjoyable and successful evening. The many favourable comments indicated just how much the food was enjoyed. The quality meat supplied by the Farm Shop made lovely casserole with vegetables, served along with splendid jacket potatoes cooked by Tim and Juliette Gravina. This was followed by apple crumble made from local apples, served with custard or cream (and cream in some cases!). All washed down with a generous supply of wine, beer or soft drinks. After coffee or tea, we were entertained by Sid Bloomfield from Seend with his dialect folk songs and amusing anecdotes, followed, of course, by the raffle with very many prizes generously donated. All in all, a traditional village event to celebrate the gathering of the harvest, which was enjoyed by everyone present. So, many thanks are due. To those who attended and supported the evening, giving generously to the raffle; to Mike and Dibby for the quality meat; to Tim and his magic hay box which produced the lovely jacket potatoes; and to Angela, Dankay, Janet, Joyce, Kate A. and Kate H. for preparing the delicious casseroles and crumbles; and to Dot who marshalled the troops in the kitchen ensuring that the food was served hot and quickly. And, one more bonus! By attending, I was spared the agony of watching, live, England being humiliated by Australia in the Rugby World Cup. Having recorded the match, it was a very easy decision to delete rather than to watch later.

What a lovely September and October we have enjoyed. Did anyone get up to see the blood red enormous moon?. I did. The sky was very bright and the stars were par9cularly spectacular , and then it all became a bit eerie , and the eclipse began, which took over an hour, and the moon turned a blood red with a dark patch in the middle. Being realis9c I wonder how many of us will live to see another such occasion ; I think the date will be 2033 . We are so fortunate. Everywhere signs of plenty; apples, plums ,beans blackberries , harvest fes9vals, homes to go to and fires to light (or central hea9ng to put on),…. and then I watched a Panorama programme which accompanied refugees from Syria from the sea shores in Greece to the haven of Austria; old people staggering on; young people, and children ; children walking and walking and walking; children who were sick; anxious parents; no possessions , just the clothes they stood up in and why? because they are fleeing from terror; from man’s inhumanity to man. Of course our hearts go out to them and of course if a family were to turn up on our doorsteps I’m sure we would take them in, but is it as simple as that? I don’t know, but what I do know is that we must not become immune to the tragedy of migrants fleeing; we must not become 9red of other people’s hardships. We must con9nue to think and to encourage our poli9cians to act wisely; to pray not just for the migrants but for our church and secular leaders , so that a solu9on may be found, and most par9cularly that the evil that is in the hearts of the traffickers will cease and that the figh9ng will stop. Where is God in all this? He is there , with the migrants as they flee , whether the Muslim God or and Almighty God (one and the same) . He is alongside giving hope; he is in the hearts of all of us as we respond as generously as we can. He is in the hope for the future. As our season of remembrance approaches , let us remember those who died that the world may indeed become free. My father fought for a bright future not just for his country but also for his children. Remembrance services are becoming increasingly well abended. As the trauma of world wars fades a bit, teachers are now able to inform accurately the facts of the wars as well as the tragedy. Young people are visi9ng the cemeteries of Europe and the Normandy beaches as indeed did we in September, and we are all able to reflect , not just on the tragedy but also on the fu9lity of war. Have you ever mused upon what young children may be thinking as they stand in silence for 2 minutes around the cenotaphs up and down the land.? They can’t remember. I always tell them that its important to think of those who died , but its more important to think why they died; for our future, and so we must promise to try to make the world a beber place. So as we remember the fallen and the refugees from so many wars before , I hope and pray that we can reach out and offer a bright future , to all those whose lives are so dark at the moment.

My pedigree name is James Fair Quote Me Happy. Until I was almost four, I was Cory James and lived with my siblings in Wolverhampton in a wire cage in the back yard. It was not a very stimulating life so I was pleased when I was adopted by my “mum” and came to live in Poulshot. After seven years I feel I am Cory Boddington now. As humans go my mum isn’t too bad although we often have divergent opinions. No doubt you have seen us in various parts of the village having serious philosophical debates about which direction to take and why. She always wins though because she employs physical coercion by putting a lead on me if I prove what she calls stubborn, which I consider an affront to my dignity and contradictory to my belief in freedom of action. I have an insatiable curiosity and like exploring people’s gardens to learn about things. However my mum insists that I come out, which puzzles me because being of an academic temperament herself you would think she would encourage intellectual curiosity in a dog. I have a sociable nature and enjoy meeting other dogs and their human companions, but if you venture on to my territory I will bark at you ferociously. I don’t have any evil intent towards anyone but it is a fellow’s duty to make a show of defending his territory. After all for the first four years of my life I didn’t have any proper territory to defend and it means a lot to me. I know that if I make enough noise my mum will come out and sort the situation. I must confess that I do snap at the vet when he tries to clip my dew claws, which has prompted my mum’s nephew Jack, who was strongly influenced by computer games and super-heroes in his youth, to nickname me the Vet Slayer. I rather like it because it makes me sound formidable, heroic and noble but my mum torpedoes that image by telling everyone what an affectionate softie I really am. That’s mothers for you! �Get out the pans…..

Tip into a bowl & add water until dough just comes together (if mixture seems to dry a little more water can be added). Lightly knead dough into a ball, wrap in cling film and chill for at least 30 minutes. TART Line a 24cm round tart tin with shortcrust pastry, chill for at least 30 minutes. Blind bake @ 200c for 15-20 minutes, leave to cool slightly then glaze inside of tart case with egg whites. Blanch & refresh asparagus spears. Sweat off sliced spring onions without colouring using butter. Whisk eggs, egg yolks & cream together add ¾ of the grated cheese. Sprinkle some of the remaining cheese in the bottom of the tart case, add the spring onions & asparagus cover with the cream mixture & top with the remaining grated cheese. Bake in a pre-heated oven @ 180c for 35-45 minutes. Welcome Edwin’s Wine Choice My wine suggestion to pair with the asparagus and spring onion tart would be the Leyda Reserva sauvignon blanc 2014. This will give a good firm response to the spring onion, full flavoured with a herbal “green” character, leading to a fresh grapefruit finish ensuring the onion does not override the pairing.

The caves are just over an hour’s journey from Poulshot and whether you have children or not they are well worth a visit. It is not only the fascina9ng and beau9ful network of caves, enhanced by the clever posi9oning of coloured mood-ligh9ng that makes the Cheddar Gorge worth visi9ng, but the history of the caves. People lived in the caves hundreds of years ago but also only a couple of genera9ons ago, and in the 18th and early 19th century caves were fashionable places for dinners to be held. Wealthy people would set up long tables in one of the large caves to impress their friends. They would then dine among the stalac9tes, with candlelight glistening back from the damp walls of the caves. Then of course for many years the caves have been used for maturing cheddar cheese, so buy some real cave matured cheddar from Cheddar Gorge while you are there. Slipping back into in my prehistoric theme of last month, the caves, and their history, are s9ll not all that Cheddar has to offer. There is also the Museum of Prehistory, where the skeleton of Cheddar Man can be found. The skeleton of Cheddar Man was found in 1903 in Gough’s Cave. He lived 9000 years ago and is the oldest complete skeleton to have been found in Britain. In the museum, along with all the informa9on on Cheddar Man’s discovery, are many facts archaeologists have discovered about his way of life, and the the story of man’s development and survival. Years ago some research was done to see if any of the children in the local school had matching DNA to Cheddar Man, none of them had, but then the researchers tested the teacher at the school, and, yes, the teacher actually was a descendent of the same family as Cheddar Man. If you are not a museum person, though, and would rather just enjoy scenery, or take the dog for a nice walk, Cheddar Gorge does not disappoint in this either. There is a fabulous three mile walk along the cliffs with views stretching for miles in places. While one side of the gorge is owned by Lord Bath and commercialised, with many coffee shops, the open caves, and children’s entertainment areas, the other side belongs to the Na9onal Trust and maintains its natural beauty. hbp://www.cheddargorge.co.uk hbp://www.na9onaltrust.org.uk/cheddar-gorge/ �Trevor Hale NPTC Certified (arb) Fully Insured Tree Surgery Covering All Aspects including Chipping Stump Grinding & Hedging 07737934777 www.wiltshiretreesurgery.co.uk Professional Reliable Service Edwin Giddings, Devizes Delicatessan, Coffee Shop, Light Lunches, Fine Wines and Real Ales. “A hidden gem bursting with goodies” Open Monday–Saturday 9am–5.30pm.

Here are a few things to consider, and informa9on about where you can find sources of help. • If you are over 65 you are en9tled to a free flu jab. Flu can develop into pneumonia which can be very serious. GP surgeries hold flu clinics at this 9me of year, so make sure you have booked in. • Ideally your living areas should be 18 – 21 degrees C during the day. Try to heat your bedroom before you go to bed. I have a supply of free room thermometers, so please contact me if you would like one. • Try to keep moving if you can as this generates heat. Wearing several thin layers of clothing helps to keep you warmer than wearing one thick one, and ea9ng at least one hot meal a day and having plenty of warm drinks will help keep your body temperature up. • You can request your pharmacy to deliver your regular medica9on if you can’t get out, or call your local Link scheme who may be able to find a volunteer to collect it for you. • Even if it’s cold, don’t give up on staying connected to friends, family and social groups. Gerng out of the house and socialising helps us to feel happier and healthier. Many groups and ac9vi9es run during the day and if you do not have a means of gerng there, the Link may be able to help you. If you can’t get out, try to stay in touch by phone. I can give you informa9on about social groups and ac9vi9es running in your area. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if I can provide any more informa9on on gerng ready for winter or any other issue affec9ng older people in our villages.

As a recent ‘blow in’ to Poulshot, I have unfortunately missed the feats of cricketing skill and prowess that used to take place on a regular basis on the Green. However, a baby boom coupled with the fond yearnings of passed cricket glories has resulted in somewhat of a resurgence in interest for the pitch to be re-generated to its former ‘glory’ for all to use. The stumbling block being that nobody really wants to take ownership of the re-development and ongoing maintenance. However, I have decided that I would be very happy to take this on over the next couple of years in the hope that it will bring this great sport back onto the Green on a more frequent basis for all to enjoy on a Summer’s day. I will be popping around all the houses in the village over the next couple of weeks to gauge the appetite to see village cricket brought back to the Green and pending sufNicient interest, will progress things to the next stage in the form of a formal proposal to the Parish Council.

All the produce was donated by the parents of children at Townsend Nursery for Devizes Food Bank, and they gave most generously. All the food was delivered to the Food Bank, where it weighed in at an impressive 36 kg. (over 75 lb. to most of us). Coincidentally, in the previous week, St. Peter's Church had also donated 36 kg. of food collected at the Harvest Service on 4 October, another pleasing contribution. Obviously, the people at the Food Bank were delighted to receive both sets of food. It is a sad fact of life at the moment that, along with so many towns, Devizes has the need to run a Food Bank for those less fortunate than ourselves. It is certainly impressive to see the volunteers receiving the food, storing then sorting it into boxes, and delivering it to those in need. The organisers deserve much praise, and they are always grateful for the food donated. St. Peter's Church is well regarded for its regular donations, and there is always a box available in the church if you wish to donate. Of course, you can also make donations to the boxes available in the local supermarkets if you prefer. So, well done children and parents of Townsend Nutsery, and to the congregation of St. Peter's Church. �POULSHOT COMMUNITY FUND COMMUNITY FUND PANEL The Community Fund panel is seeking a new member to join and help it consider Community Fund applica9ons in order to benefit the long term future of Poulshot.

Sun warms the lanes as it rises up high, Mist that’s been hovering slowly subsides. Sniffing each other, themselves and the trees, They cock or they squat – territorial wees. Licking the grass, with a wag of the tail, For this garrulous lot fun must prevail. Paw-prints in the dew, steam fills the air, A juvenile gang all covered in hair. “Come on!” An encouraging call from the Boss, Tongues out, ears pricked, the ball has been tossed. Yet, business is calling, the challenge has come … to find a loca9on. Deposit A bomb! Discre9on is key, a place which is hidden, But not so remote the device can’t be ‘stood-in’. The Boss, as they know, likes to biodegrade, Which appeals to their humour – no dog bags or spade. The fun of the game is to watch and to wait, For others to trip the device which they bait. Trap set. Hidden in bushes. Boss marched on ahead. The wai9ng game. At last, drooling jowls are rewarded their wait, As a mother and toddler step into the bait. BOOM! Village rocks as she rants, as she thinks, What to do with these wellies that really do s9nk. “WHY OH WHY DOES HE LET THEM POO HERE, IN THE LANES WHERE WE WALK FOR THE TREES AND THE DEER? SUCH AN ARROGANT ATTITUDE, SELFISH AND LAZY, THOSE DOGS AND THEIR OWNER MAKE MY HORMONES GO CRAZY!!” Three pairs of doggie eyes hidden from sight, Twinkle with glee, such a treat – a delight. The Boss, having marched on apace for his walk, Unaware and uncaring of how that mum squawks. It’s not pleasant to step in dog poo, and it can cause significant health problems. Please think of others, keep our village clean and pick up or flick off the path. Thank you.

Buried at Tidworth Military Cemetary Regular soldier Jerry, known as James, was the son of Jabez and Alice Haines and arrived in France with the 1st Batallion Wiltshire Regiment on 14 August 1915. It is likely that at some stage of his service during the war he was wounded sufficiently enough to make him unfit for service at the front and he was transferred to the 447th Agricultural Company of the Labour Corps. In the Spring of 1918 he married Nora Kathleen Canterbury at Bridport, Dorset. He died at a military hospital near Tidworth of sickness or disease on Monday 13 January 1919 and was buried in Tidworth Military Cemetery �Poulshot Friends and Neighbours Just to let you know that we have organised a guided walking tour of Bradford on Avon on the 22nd May at 6.00pm If you would like to attend this it will last about one to one and a half hours (depending on how we last!!!!)

On Thursday, 10th May the Wellsprings Benefice will gather together at 7.30 in Seend church to celebrate the Ascension of Jesus. On Sunday, 20th May we will celebrate Pentecost and on the 27th it is Trinity Sunday. Lots of great ideas to discuss! Lots of great hymns to sing! But let’s start with the Ascension of Jesus. This was such a mind­blowing event for the disciples. There they were, still reeling from the trauma of the crucifixion and still overwhelmingly excited about finding the empty tomb and meeting with the risen Christ. He was back with them; life would be great again. But Jesus had other plans. Having touched the world with the love of God, he was returning to heaven. But it would not be a case of “out of sight, out of mind”. It was not an ending but a new beginning. Jesus would still be with them but he was passing on the baton to his followers who were to continue his work in the world. Read how the gospel writers tell the story: Jesus took the disciples out of the city and said "Go then to all people everywhere and make them my disciples; baptise them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, and teach them to obey everything I have commanded you …. he then raised his arms as he was blessing them, he departed from them and was taken up into heaven. I love this poem by Colleen Hitchcock: And if I go, while you're still here, know that I live on, vibrating to a different measure – behind a thin veil you cannot see through. You will not see me, so you must have faith. I wait for the time when we can soar together again, ­ both aware of each other. Until then, live your life to its fullest. And when you need me, just whisper my name in your heart, ... I will be there. “Have faith”; “Live your life to its fullest”; “I will be there”. The disciples believed this and, filled with God’s life and Spirit on the day of Pentecost, did what Jesus asked of them, beginning the Christian church and enabling the good news of God’s love and transforming power to be embraced by millions and millions of Christians over the centuries, including me! And the commission that Jesus gave to the disciples he also gave to me and to the church. We have the same Gospel to proclaim and to live; we are to tell those who feel unloved and unlovely that they are loved by God; we are to encourage those who suffer to know that the God of Gethsemane and Good Friday walks alongside us in our pain; we are to speak of the God who can transform and heal; we are to tell the guilt ridden that their sins can be forgiven; we are to tell the fearful that there is hope; we are to tell the dying and the bereaved that death is not an ending but can be a new beginning and that there is comfort in God’s heart for those who weep; we are to tell the disturbed that there is peace, the sad that there is joy, the confused and despairing that there is purpose and meaning in life. And we are to live out the reality of the good news in our own lives. We continue to have a job to do. And we are to remember ­ “live your life to its fullest. And when you need me, just whisper my name in your heart.....I will be there”. The Revd.

Smith Plant Ltd. Waste Carriers No. CBD4142585 �A View From My Window So the good weather has con9nued, and what a glorious April, with such bright sunshine, and magnificent flowers and blossom. As I write my wisteria is just coming into bloom, and it virtually wraps the coXage round. It seems that the world has woken up aAer a long winter, and the sounds of children and mowers in the gardens are ever present and Poulshot Churchyard looks fabulous in the sunshine.. I hope you had a good Easter. Holy week was very special for me, for in Keevil together with a choir from Oxfordshire we performed Stainer’s Crucifixion, which really brings to life once again what the season is all about, full of the humanity of a real person suffering as he dies, and then full of the divinity of one who could say, “ Father forgive them for they know not what they do.”. It was lovely to see so many friends from Poulshot there. As the week developed we were able to share together in the community and communion of the disciples as they struggled, and we re enacted the last supper , and then shared in the horror of Good Friday, the deadness of Holy Saturday and then the joy of Easter Day. Alleluia; Christ is risen. Now we look forward to the post Easter experiences. Did you know that 550 people plus’ saw Jesus on 11 different occasions over a period of 6 weeks aAer he had died, beginning with Mary Magdalene in the garden, on the day of his resurrec9on. That’s amazing. Scep9cs say that maybe he didn’t really die, or that his disciples stole his body or that the authori9es stole the body, and others said that maybe they were seeing a ghost , but how can a ghost cook and eat fish? CS Lewis , the great theologian ( and writer of the Narnia books ) came to the conclusion that either Jesus was and is the son of God , or else a madman, or something worse , and he said “However strange it may seem , I have to accept the view that he was and is the son of God”. So we look forward to the coming season both in the church and the world and par9cularly in our villages. The post resurrec9on stories in the bible are lovely and it’s a 9me when I think of the English Jesus. “ Who’s that ?” you may be thinking. Come along and find out. There are six weeks before the day when we celebrate Jesus ascending into heaven, hopefully all the glorious days of May, when the blue bells will be out and the Beech trees will come into full leaf. We can choose; either to be depressed about the terrifying state of the world at the moment, or to be glad to be alive today , or maybe if when we realize how beau9ful the world can be, we will resolve with all our strength to try to make it a beXer place, and in the words of Stainer’s Crucifixion “ not pass by on the other side.” Have a happy and glorious May.

The weather is certainly cooperating and, for once, is reflecting the season. It has been a very exciting, if long term at Rowde Academy with the SIAMs inspection, welcoming our new Vicar, Reverend Ruth Schofield and preparations well underway for sports day immediately after the Easter Holiday. The new start of the day is still having a positive impact on the children. They are enjoying the time to interact with both staff and peers whilst building their social skills and refining tactics through holding ‘Connect 4’ tournaments! In Cassiopeia class the children have been studying the Romans and the impact they had on present day living. They have totally absorbed themselves into the topic and have loved retelling the story of the invasion through drama activities, whilst wearing onesies! The children were lucky enough to have a visit from Mark Routledge, the outreach worker, from Devizes Museum. It was a fantastic day and the children had the opportunity to take part in a range of activities. To begin the children were given the opportunity to handle artefacts and through discussion had decide whether they were real or replicas. They were part of the Roman army and were following commands from their leader. The morning was rounded off with the lovely topic of toilets! The children were fascinated to discover that there was no toilet paper and that public toilets were just that, public! After a short break the children looked at a variety of different patterns and mosaic techniques. They were given the opportunity to design their own before making them. Whilst all this was going on the children were ‘imprinting’ their own Roman coins using a stencil. It was surprising how heavy the wooden mallet was and how hard we had to hit the metal! During the afternoon the children were transformed into Roman soldiers. We discovered why shields were held on the left and that most of us were too short to even see over the top of it! The chain mail was so heavy it took two of us to even lift it and the helmets so large they slipped down our noses. Alongside this the class have also had a visit from the Wiltshire Fire Service. They were reminded about making fire plans and how to test smoke alarms. Do you have a ‘test it Tuesday’ or a ‘Fire alarm Friday’? The children got into role when having to make a call to the emergency services and were tested when having to remember their postcodes! The children are now enjoying a well-deserved holiday as they continue to thrive in their education. They are incredibly lucky to have such wonderful opportunities to further their learning as the coming terms sees the start of the residential trips and preparations for summer productions and transition to new schools. We, as staff, will continue to support them to reach their full potential. �The next Cafe Church service will be at 11 am on Sunday 4th June as we celebrate Pentecost, the giving of the Holy Spirit to the early church. The Cafe opens at 10.45, with drinks and marvellous cakes and will be followed by a friendly, family centred service with the children taking part in various ac9vi9es.

It was amazing to hear how the ecological and archaeological sites impacted so much on the Army activity on the Plain. We learned that the Plain covered an area the size of the Isle of Wight and that there were many protected sites of SSI. There are wonderful, increasing, numbers of Stone Curlews and something called a fairy shrimp, bright yellow, which hides in the earth until a mud puddle, formed by the tanks, appears. The shrimp emerges, lays it’s eggs, and when the puddle dries up disappears back into the ground. They have been found on other sites after being carried there on tank tracks. There is also a thriving community of Great Bustards which has grown from, the original few that were introduced to the Plain 10 years ago, to about 100. This shows that the management of the Plain is succeeding. There are also the many and varied ancient sites including Roman villages, Anglo Saxon cemeteries and settlements and, of course many Pre-Historic sites. The army trains on the plain, including building villages and towns etc. to make sure that wherever they go to fight they do it with an awareness of the conditions they will be fighting in. This is not to go to war but to keep Britain safe. They have even built graveyards to train the troops to respect cultures and customs in the places they fight. On the downside we learned that there are idiots who treat the Plain as an off road site, putting themselves at risk from unexploded ordinance, they have also had walkers walking off with shells to use as doorstops!! People are welcome to walk the designated paths as long as they respect their environment and the rules and regulations that apply for everyone’s safety, the Plain is there to be enjoyed. It was wonderful to have more than 40 people attend all of whom expressed their enjoyment. Our next month’s activity is a visit to the Hawk Conservancy, near Andover, on May 16th. We will aim to arrive at about 11.00 to 11.30, have a walk round, lunch and see a Display. We hope that many of you will join us.

Former Fes9val Schola Director Andrew Carwood – who also happens to be the Director of Music at St Paul’s Cathedral, and Director of his own consort The Cardinall’s Musick – is coming to work with all comers on Handel’s showpiece, ‘Dixit Dominus’. Applica9ons are already in from singers based all over the south of England as well as many from local Choral Socie9es, but there’s plenty of room and it’s not too late to get yours in if you fancy a day’s music making with one of the acknowledged superstars of choral music, this period in par9cular. Andrew is also a great raconteur, so there will be plenty of mirth amongst the music. Our five soloists are all recent or current Fes9val choristers. Places are £20, plus £2 for music hire; you can download a form from www.edingtonarts.org where you can also find full informa9on about Andrew and the work, or email anne@edingtonarts.org and she will send you one. 18 and under places are only £10. Celebrating the life of Pamela De Belle 31/12/1930 - 01/04/2017 Pam was a long time resident of Poulshot, much loved by many. Pam came to Poulshot around 25 years ago, and soon joined St Peter’s Church. She was an active member of the Church community and helped in many ways, including running a stall at the annual village fete. She also made posies of flowers for the Mothering Sunday annual service at the church. Pam always enjoyed the social events in the village such as the Harvest Supper, the Fete, Summer Garden Party and picnics in the Green Gardens. Probably Pam will be remembered most for the 15 years she was the organist at St Peter’s, retiring in 2015. She played almost every Sunday and also at Weddings and Funerals. Pam was a quite person, probably a little shy, but always had a smile. She was a very placid lady. She will be sadly missed and thought of with affection. A service was held for Pam on 20th April. �Picture Framing Oils, water colours, prints, photographs etc Plain or wash lined mounts Choose from over 50 mouldings Quick service Please ring for appointment Juliet Wilmot The Garden Barn, ChiXoe 01380 850314 Darren Sheppard Traditional, Perfectionist, Painter and Decorator.

Some villages have scarecrows, Poulshot will have flags. It would be great if every house in the Village could put up at least one flag in their front garden. They could be bought, or designed and painted by you and your children. Any design, traditional or invented. If they could be up by Sunday 4th June, we would have a week of colour before the weekend. The idea would be that all flags be brought down to the Green on the Friday and planted around the Green. The Village Hall is booked for the Saturday mornings, 28th May and 4th June from 10am. Bring your kids to make crowns and tiaras to wear at the Tea Party on the Sunday. Or design a Poulshot Flag! Prizes for the best design! More info later. The weekend will be partly sponsored by the Community Fund. �From the Editor Welcome to May!

Altho’ he lived over 800 years ago his teaching is still so relevant. Francis loved God and wanted to imitate Jesus in very practical ways, living the way that Jesus lived. He was not really interested in doctrine or church but in how our faith changes us for the good and for the blessing of society. It was action and lifestyle that mattered to him. Just as it mattered to Jesus! Jesus' first recorded word in at least two Gospels was “repent”. This literally means "change your minds!" Jesus calls us to change! What a pity then that Christianity has been so resistant to change with a tendency to protect the past and the status quo rather than embrace the call to lead the world into godly change, vibrant growth and transforming lives. Human minds love to argue, oppose, critique, judge and evaluate - this gives our minds a job, but academics, politicians, and theologians rarely hit the streets of our suffering world as Jesus clearly did. What else are the healing stories about? Jesus enabling change, growth and transformation. The way of St. Francis was quietly but firmly to pay attention to Jesus-type things, such as simplicity, humility, non-violence, forgiveness, mindfulness, care of the earth and serving the "least of the brothers and sisters" with unconditional love. Like Jesus, Francis taught his disciples while walking with them from place to place, finding ways to serve, challenge and love in the world that was right in front of them. Pope Francis, a name-sake, recently wrote, "in the heart of this world, the Lord of life, who loves us so much, is always present. He does not abandon us, he does not leave us alone, for he has united himself definitively to our earth, and his love constantly impels us to find new ways forward. Praise be to him”. So what has been the challenge of my reading? To find new ways to bring the good news of God’s love to his broken and wounded world through service and challenge; to find new ways to make Christ and his love accessible to a world that is largely sceptical and to be more open to embrace the changes within myself and within the church that will enable these things to happen. Someone sent me this Chinese proverb a few weeks ago: “When the wind of change comes some people build walls and others build windmills”! I think that Francis of Assisi and Pope Francis are windmill builders and I certainly want to be a windmill for Jesus! The Revd. Maureen Allchin. Rector This year’s Annual Village Meeting will be held on Tuesday 24th of May at 7pm in the Village Hall.

The performers include the organist Simon Taylor from Seend. Those who aZended last year’s Carol Service at St. Peter’s will remember his beau9ful playing of the organ. Since then, Simon has moved to work in Coventry, and so has been able to prac9se on the magnificent organ of Coventry Cathedral. He is excited to be invited to play at St. Peter’s, and is keen to demonstrate the quali9es of our organ. The programme he has devised will be varied and interes9ng. Secondly, we will have the Keevil Singers, under the guidance of Jane Knowles, with their repertoire of light music; and last, but not least, there will be the young people of Rowde Academy Band, giving them a chance to demonstrate their skills to a public audience. There will also be a couple of short surprise items, so overall, it will be a varied and entertaining evening which we hope you will enjoy. Addi9onally, there will be a light but tasty supper served in the marquee during the interval, and this is included in the 9cket price. There will also be a bar, and this will be open from 7.00 pm if you would like a drink before the concert starts. The cost is £10 a head, and 9ckets are available from:Joyce Arnold (828833), Kate Hunloke (828333) or any PCC member. Page 11 �Get out the pans…..

Hippocrates As we recovered from the challenge of last years moonwalk, choruses of never again were heard throughout the shire. But like childbirth the memories of the more difficult moments disappeared almost as quickly as the blisters. And rather like when you are handed that beautiful baby, realising that we had raised over £3000 and had had a lot of fun in the process the moonwalk didn't seem so bad as to not try it again. We also have experience on our side, we know what to expect and how to manage our marathon. Which is a good thing? Due to commitments, injury and distance. A firm no from our friend in Spain who suffered with the cold that evening. Our merry band of walkers are Penny Nixon, Lizzie Hunter, Sara Weeden and Kim Johnson. If anybody would like to join us, please let a lunar know. We will be asking for sponsorship like last year and would be grateful for any donations.

In 2008 I was born with my siblings in Backwell, Somerset where I lived in kennels for the first eleven months of my life. I was brought to Poulshot where I was shown that I was expected to live with Masters’ wife in their house. Fairly soon after I arrived Master and I would go for training with a Professional Trainer called Howard. I really liked him and his team of trainers. He taught Master and me how we should work together so that I became a really reliable expert gundog. I was very fast and the trainers could see that I was really good at jumping over obstacles, hunting out hidden dummies and carrying out tasks faster than most of the other gun dogs. So it was decided that Master and I should be entered into Scurry competitions and see if I could win prizes. I love these Scurries and we go all over the country to compete throughout the year. At the Bath and West Show in 2011 I won the title of “Fastest Dog in the West”...That was particularly good as Master considers he’s the “Fastest Gun in the West”! Over the years I have won countless rosettes, cups, engraved drinking glasses and glass bowls, various trophies, prize money and vouchers for bags of my expensive dog food. In 2011 and 2012 I was the BASC Scurry League Champion. I was presented with a big silver cup and a special portrait of me was commissioned. A tip top artist Sue Birch, who has painted Her Royal Majesty the Queen‘s dogs and horses, did a wonderful portrait of me looking my most handsome best. At first people looking at the portrait think it’s a photograph because it’s such a very good likeness – in fact it was done using pastels We are all so pleased and proud to have it. In 2013 for the third time, I was Gundog Scurries Victor Ludorum at Sherborne and won an engraved silver flask. One way and another I have paid for my keep by being awarded so many good prizes I take my job of looking after Master very seriously. He needs me as his constant companion and whenever he leaves the house without me, I am very anxious and cry out with worry. I make sure I guard all our property and it’s very important for people walking along the road near our house or in the lane to the church to hear me bark while I run along the hedge to be sure they know I’m on duty. The Mrs tries to console me but she doesn’t have the same sort of relationship as the Master and I do. For a start Master usually gives me orders by using the whistle. Mrs doesn’t use the whistle and expects me to understand words and signals.....However I’m very fond of Mrs. I know she loves giving me tasty treats when she is in the kitchen and I like to help her clear up after the humans have finished their meals. I’m good at giving the plates and dishes a pre-wash as they go into the dishwasher. Never can I have enough strokes, pats and cuddles and enjoy them from everyone – constantly I have to remind people to give them to me. Surely all humans should know that we dogs are so much more important than they are, and should always be given priority attention at all times. We love other people and dogs coming to our house. Sometimes people come to our front door, ring the bell and perhaps walk into our garden. If I hear there’s someone about it is very important that I bark to raise the alarm and make sure our home is well protected – I get very excited and sometimes rush up to the door, look through the glass to make sure everyone knows I’m in charge, I rush up to visitors and show how excited I am to see them. I try to give a big licky kiss on their faces. I don’t understand why some people don’t seem to like that, especially small children. In the winter months Master and I enjoy many days shooting. I am particularly good at retrieving the game even when it’s hidden in deep undergrowth, brambles or very awkward places. At the end of the day I am often really wet through, very muddy and tired out. I’m always so glad to get back to my warm, dry bed next to the boiler and take a lot of time trying to clean myself up before I rest. Sometimes it takes a day or two to get all the burrs and rubbish out of my long fur coat and elegant long flowing tail. I like to curl my tail up over my back when needing to look my best. In the summer we go fishing. Now that I’m 8 years old I’m not quite as fast as I used to be but Master and I still go to lots of the Scurry competitions. We continue to enjoy our training sessions we regularly drive to Durrington for training with James and it’s good to see so many of our friends there. I love demonstrating to the junior dogs in the class as to how certain procedures should be done. I am a very happy dog and I am so lucky to be fit, healthy and well-loved – There’s always a lot of hard work for me to do and I have to spend a lot of time looking after Master and his household and keep them happy, but I hope I can keep doing so forever and ever.......... �The Wiltshire Mobile Library visits The Raven Car Park at 12:45 and also The Well, Bulkington at 11:05 The School, Worton at 13:10. on the following dates Monday 08 February, 2016 - Monday 07 March, 2016 - Monday 04 April, 2016 - -Monday 02 May, 2016 - Monday 30 May, 2016 - Monday 27 June, 2016 Chinese Medicine Acupuncture & other Chinese therapies:- Cupping, Moxibus4on, Guasha, can be used to treat people of any age and can be combined safely & successfully with Western Medicine & other therapies Musculoskeletal:- Acute/Chronic injuries, Back pain, Arthri4s Mental Health issues:- Depression, Generalised Anxiety Disorder Stress & fa4gue, OCD, Phobias, Addic4ons Gynaecological problems:- Irregular/heavy & or painful periods, PMT, menopausal symptoms, PCOS/infer4lity Gastro-intes4nal complaints:- Indiges4on, IBS, Crohns Disease, Ulcera4ve Coli4s Skin Condi4ons:- Eczema, Psoriasis, Derma44s Insomnia, Allergies, Sinusi4s, Migraines, Asthma, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Ver4go Now prac4sing at The Devizes Acupuncture Prac4ce, Monday Market St. For more informa4on please call EMMA COLE 01985 850928 You may have to leave a message - I will call you back Page 22 �Poulshot Village Hall Available for meetings, functions, clubs and private parties Booking fees Village activities - £6 an hour Outside users - £10 an hour All bookings for the hall are taken by Elizabeth or Jon Martin on 01380 828206 email bookings@MyPoulshot.com ONE VOICE COMMUNITY CHOIR Sing with All Your Heart and Feel Alive!

Twelve of us went to visit Devizes Museum. We started off with tea and biscuits and then headed into the Museum with our guide David Dawson, the Director of the Wiltshire Archaeological and Natural History Society. He started off by giving us an oversight of the history of the Museum which is one of the oldest in the Country, including the fact that we were standing in the old Devizes Grammar School building from early Victorian times.. It was a fascinating insight into the history of the surrounding area for the past half a million years. We saw ancient landscapes and learn't how things had been brought from different parts of Europe to be used as implements, as well as trade goods and for ritual and decorative purposes, how Stonehenge, Avebury and Woodhenge grew, prospered and died to be replaced with different ways of living and burials. From Burials to cremations and all things in between. We were amazed at the quality of the ancient pottery and of the gold and bronze artefacts that were on display. We all learned how significant has been our County in the development of human occupation in England, particularly in our part of the County. So much information that it was hard to take it all in and we were not even able to look at the Roman period or later developments, we decided that we need to go back again at a future date. We would really encourage more people to go and see this Museum. Thanks to Gill Coleman for making all the arrangements. The May meeting will be a talk on, and tasting of, Brandy, to be held in the Village Hall, on 17th May at 7.00 for 7.30. Everyone in the Village is invited to attend and there will be a small charge to cover the cost of the tasting. Please come along and support this evening, I am sure you will enjoy it.. Please let me know if you would like to join us. Everyone in Poulshot is eligible to come on a first come first served basis. I hope that everyone in the Village realises they are invited to attend any of the functions we hold. Subs are £10 per year single, £15 per couple or you can attend for a charge of £2.50 per meeting. �ERLESTOKE HOUSE FARM SHOP HMP ERLESTOKE THE SHOP HOURS : Thursday Friday Saturday 12 - 4.00 p.m. Reliable Volunteers are needed, with an outgoing friendly personality to assist customers purchasing and ordering goods from the shop.

(March that is ) You know that old tale “ March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb” or the other way round. By the 9me you read this you will know the answer. At the 9me of wri9ng it is very cold, with rain and snow in the air and the promise of Spring is just a promise, although the snowdrops are looking beau9ful. They are as good a weather forecaster as anything on the television, for when it is cold and wet they stay curled up 9ght , but when it is sunnier and drier they unfold to accept the light. There’s a metaphor. They unfold to accept the light! March is a great month in the church year. This year most of Lent falls in March , and Holy week the last week of March and then Alleluia, Easter Day fall s on April 1st .I know I say it every year , but its good to remind ourselves that the meaning of the word Lent, is Spring, so its not just about giving things up, but taking things up, maybe nurturing the plants that are emerging in the garden and clearing away the rubbish, or visi9ng people who have been tucked away most of the winter and encouraging them to look around and see what a beau9ful world we all live in. Its easy to forget that, when we hear so much depressing news. We can be tempted to think its all hopeless and doom and gloom. In this season in this country its hard to imagine Jesus up there on the stony hillside above Jerusalem, as he faced his tempta9ons (which Lent also reminds us of). Forty days without food, tempted to turn the stones into bread, and tempted to throw himself down from the top of the temple, to prove to everyone that it was a magic trick that counted, and tempted to turn away from God and worship all the other things in life such as money or power. We all know another old saying , “power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely” ; except for one power and that is the power of love, for with that goes compassion, empathy ,understanding and unselfishness and all those other things which a good and civilised society is based on. So some of you will be giving up things in Lent, maybe chocolate or alcohol or whatever, and good luck in your abs9nence, but I hope all of us can iden9fy with and try to be more aware of the power of love . Maybe the money we save from not ea9ng or drinking whatever can go towards helping someone who has less; maybe we can learn to look on the homeless, not as trash un9dying our streets , but real human people who have fallen on hard 9mes, and who need our help. My training vicar used to say, “You never know when you might be mee9ng with Jesus” Con9nued on next page….. �As we remember the story of Holy week and Easter I hope we can empathise with Jesus as he faced even more tempta9ons . “My God, my God , why have you forsaken me? “ and like him manage to turn that around and say “Father forgive them for they know not what they do”. Its such a wonderful story and re enacted in all our churches in one way or another; I do hope that you will come along and share with us; maybe on Palm Sunday as the fickle crowd shouted hosanna, and then changed that into “crucify him” , or maybe come and share in the last supper on Maundy Thursday, when we have a real meal amongst friends which evolves into the re enactment of Jesus washing his disciples feet and then sharing with them in holy communion ; or maybe the horror of Good Friday, and the bleakness of Holy Saturday, and then Easter Day, when all over the world people will be celebra9ng in the best way that they can. Churches will be full of flowers and families will get together and have a feast, and of course there will be chocolate. And why? Because the love of God overcame death. Jesus rose from the dead , and was seen by over 500 people on 11 different occasions in the weeks following his crucifixion , and so now we know that death is not the end. We have hope. We have a future, and as St Paul says, “three things remain, faith , hope and love but the greatest of them all is love.” Have a good Lent and a very Happy Easter .

The Cricket Club has been around since 1882 and over the years has been the venue for some excellent cricket, as well as an eclec9c mix of characters and supports. However, we find ourselves needing to ask for help! Funds and player numbers might be a bit down at the moment but we are commimed to the long term success of the Cricket Club and have already secured some new members for 2018 – there is always room for more though, so if you fancy a game, please do get in touch or visit our website (www.spsyepark.co.uk) for more informa9on. This year we’ve decided to do something proac9ve about securing our long term future. It’s not the first 9me the club has struggled and it won’t be the last but it’s up to us to do something about it. During the course of 2018 we are planning a few events to raise some much needed funds. The first significant fund raising event will be a Sponsored Bike Ride from Lord’s (the home of cricket) to Spye Park (the field of dreams) our target is £5,000. The plan is that the money will go towards the purchase of a new roller for the Club with whatever might be leA over going into the coffers to pay for new kit and equipment for our junior sec9on. SPONSORED BIKE RIDE About 10 of our players and club members will be cycling the c110 miles from Lord’s to Spye Park on Thursday 12th April arriving back at Spye Park on Friday 13th April. If you can support us in this endeavour then please visit our Just Giving page where you can make a dona9on - hmps://www.justgiving.com/ crowdfunding/spyeparkccroller. THE SPYE PARK 100 CLUB The Cricket Club runs a “100 Club” that pays out 4 9mes year – for £1/month you could enter and put yourself in with a chance of winning. As an added incen9ve we offer a discounted Family Membership – if you buy 4 9ckets we’ll give you one of them for free. If you can, please do support us this year, we’re keen to ensure that there is cricket played at Spye Park for the next 135 years. There will be many opportuni9es to watch some cricket in one of the most beau9ful grounds in the county, you would be very welcome to come along and get involved.

Band D Council Tax will rise by £5.28 (+7%) to cover the cost of services. The planned spend has decreased by £470 (-3.5%) since last year, but lower VAT refunds and receipts mean we have to ask for slightly more from Wiltshire Council for the coming year. There are a number of tree pruning and cutting projects planned for the trees around the Green and the Green Gardens this coming year. The Council is now progressing well on a rolling fiveyear plan for maintaining various areas of the village. The table shows the increase for each of the Council Tax bands for the coming year. The chart below shows how the budget is spent.

Remembered on the Le Touret Memorial Regular soldier Albert arrived in France with the 1st Bamalion Wiltshire Regiment on the 14th of August 1914. On the 26th of October 1914 the Wiltshires were in trenches at Neuve Chapelle, France and had been under intense enemy bombardment, this caused the regiment on their leA to quit the trenches. At 4.30pm Germans were heard moving through the Bri9sh lines to the leA of the Wiltshires. The Germans got within 200 yards as it was geung dark and started digging trenches. Three platoons of Wiltshires were organized and bayonet charged the Germans driving them back into Neuve Chapelle which was burning; killing and wounding a number and taking six prisoners. At about 6pm the Wiltshires formed part of a general advance to retake Neuve Chapelle but the advance was described as having limle coordina9on and no senior officers were present. The Wiltshires managed to retake much of the village but to the north of Neuve Chapelle they were met by heavy German machine gun fire and it was decided no further advance should be made without ar9llery support. The Wiltshires suffered over 20 men killed and one of these was Albert. He is remembered on the Le Touret Memorial and has no known grave. The Commonwealth War Grave Commission lists Albert’s surname as Trimmell.

Not to be confused with the border collie, the smooth collie is a similar height and shape to the rough [Lassie] collie but lighter in build and without the long, luxuriant coat. They were once regarded as a variant of the same breed and oAen inter-bred un9l this was forbidden by The Kennel Club in the 1990s. His character seems to be part way between the rough collie and the border- not so dignified and serene as the rough , but not so perpetual mo9on as the border. They are fast becoming a rare breed. AAer many years of sharing my life with rough collies whose coats needed much regular amen9on, removing burrs, twigs and brambles entangled in various parts of it, I find Hamish very low maintenance. He has a double coat but it is short and smooth. A brush over once a week is adequate and if wet a thorough rub with kitchen towel does the trick in a trice. He is a blue merle, hence a mixture of four different colours, black, grey, white and tan. He came from a remote farm and kennels in the hills of County Durham. Housed in kennels with other dogs clearly he did not get much individual amen9on. He had never been on a lead but picked up the principle of that within a few days and he had a limited knowledge of human vocabulary. This too he is learning fast, par9cularly words related to food. He has also come to the conclusion that the sofa was a splendid inven9on. He is affec9onate and loves a game- has a passion for tearing up cardboard boxes. I have been forced to put the cardboard recycling bag out of his reach, but I toss him a box now and then to keep him happy. He has bonded with me very quickly and is surprisingly obedient for a dog who has had limle training. If he disappears out of sight when we are across the fields and I call him, he comes back to me like a rocket and boy is he fast! He certainly makes me feel my age and my rheuma9sm. However he is very 9mid when confronted with people or situa9ons unfamiliar to him. He shrinks back from being touched by strangers, par9cularly if they are not accompanied by other dogs. He seems to assume anyone out walking without a dog may be up to no good. So if you come across us on our walks and he will not let you pat him, don’t be affronted. He is the same with everyone. I am hoping to change that over the coming months. �Picture Framing Oils, water colours, prints, photographs etc Plain or wash lined mounts Choose from over 50 mouldings Quick service Please ring for appointment Juliet Wilmot The Garden Barn, Chimoe 01380 850314 Page 31 ���St Peter’s Church Poulshot Parish Council Priest in Charge The Revd Alison (Ali) Bridewell (739064) alison.bridewell@gmail.com Chairman Geoff Collem (828465) Clerk Elizabeth Mar9n (828206) email: poulshotparishcouncil@gmail.com Council Members Adrian Baber Steve Housby Sam Wright-Hurn Ben Hamilton Tim Jalland *vacancy* Re4red Priest: The Revd.

Smith Plant Ltd. Waste Carriers No. CBD4142585 �A View From My Window Did you know that the old English word for Spring is Lent? That always cheers me up as I look forward with some ambivalence to 40 days of austerity before Easter. Spring ! celandines and primroses , and lighter evenings , and a different fragrance in the air , and aAer such a long winter we can all go out and breathe in the new season and smile. Spring does make you smile doesn’t it? Lots to look forward to; a healthier lifestyle and a feel good factor, and soon it will be Easter. But that makes me think. How can we have Easter without Lent,? How can we have a good Easter without Holy Week , and how can we have a good Easter without Good Friday? My husband and I have oAen been abroad during February and several 9mes we have been in Madeira and Portugal for Shrove Tuesday, or Mardi Gras. What a celebra9on that is. The whole town turns out to watch the magnificent floats and dancing girls in ostrich feathers and fantas9c costumes and bands of all shapes and sizes. I wish we had more of a celebra9on in this country on Shrove Tuesday. Yes , we make pancakes , and have pancake races but they pale into insignificance by the side of the celebra9ons of Southern Europe and other parts of the world. Holidays/holy days; tradi9onally the same thing, yet somehow in this country the two have become rather separated, so lets have another look at Shrove Tuesday which is closely followed by Ash Wednesday. Ash Wednesday is the day when we remember that Jesus went up into the desert hills above Jerusalem to pray. He had not long been bap9sed by John the Bap9st and it was at that point that the Holy Spirit descended on his head like a dove. Jesus knew that before he could begin his ministry he had to get away , by himself to spend some 9me in prayer and medita9on, and in that quiet 9me, when there were no other distrac9ons he was tempted. He was tempted in very human ways. He was tempted to turn stones into bread, thus trying to prove that he could do magic tricks; he was tempted to prove that he was the son of God by throwing himself from the top of the temple, and he was tempted by the devil to worship him and in response, the devil or Satan, or the evil one or whoever you like to call him who said “ I will give you all the world if you will worship me.” And Jesus said Get away from me . He was tempted but he did not give in. In other words, he was tempted by pride, vanity, possessions and most of all power. Now I don’t know about you but that rings startling bells in my head. Times don’t change do they? We are all tempted by these things in one way or another. Power itself becomes a God. The main reason the world is in such a sorry state is that so many leaders seek aAer power. They fall into the trap of self importance, being puffed up so much so that that they feel that they don’t have to turn to God; they are strong enough and powerful enough themselves, and we all know what happens then. So I suggest that this Lent , aAer shrove Tuesday , or Mardi Gras instead of giving something up , take something up; take 9me to no9ce our beau9ful countryside. Take 9me to enjoy friendships and value them; take 9me to listen to others and not always to put your own opinion first, and if you can say thank you to God, for the giA of his son who came to show us the best way. Have a good Lent. Jane Knowles .

Kate tells us that as a family they have bred their Springer Spaniels for fourteen generations. All of them have been named after ducks; The Bufflehead is a small sea duck, the Wigeon is a dabbling duck. There was no puppy available when Kate needed her last puppy (Buffle) so we bought her in. All of our Spaniels have all been good working dogs - Buffle is no exception - and they are good about the house. Some members of the family have called their dogs after plants and some after birds. Over the generations all of them have been shooting dogs most have been liver-and-white and some black-and-white. Sadly since writing this we have lost Wigeon. ���Treat me, Love me, Fix me Distinctive Upholstery, Bespoke Curtains and Soft Furnishings And here’s why you should use us: Impeccable traditional upholstery of the very highest standard A ten-year guarantee on all our craftsmanship (who else offers that?)

Remember that the food on our tables and the tea and coffee in our mugs are all from farmers who toil sweat and slog yet however hard they work, millions of producers in developing countries are paid prices too low to provide for their families properly. 500 million small-scale farmers produce 80% of the world’s food. Out of these, 400 million smallholder farmers are undernourished. But farmers get a better deal when they sell their crops on Fairtrade terms. During Fairtrade Fortnight a Tea Producer, Patrick Kaberia Muthaura from the Michimikuru Tea Company in Kenya will be visiting Wiltshire and giving a first hand account of how Fairtrade has helped him. He will be speaking to children from several schools in and around Devizes at a Workshop at Trinity School on Friday 3 March. Patrick will also be at two public events, firstly at Marlborough Town Hall in the evening on Saturday 4th March and then at County Hall Trowbridge on the afternoon of Tuesday 7th March. Everyone is invited to go along to those two events and listen to Patrick’s story. Patrick says that Fairtrade has made a huge difference to the lives of tea farmers from the Michimikuru Tea Company, their families and local communities, by enabling them to earn a stable income and the Fairtrade Premium that they have used for school fees and to build new classrooms and maternity wards. The Company is also implementing programmes to help farmers adapt to climate change that is affecting their crops and is being a threat to their food security.Members of St James’ church will be having a Fairtrade Break between the two services on Sunday 12 March. Fairtrade drinks, cakes and biscuits will be served between 10.20 and 11 am and there will be a chance to buy Fairtrade products from the Tradecraft stall and get more information about Fairtrade. There will also be a Fairtrade Break and Tradecraft stall at the Quaker Meeting House on Saturday 1 April from 10 am to 12 pm. Note: If you are interested in going to the Reception at County Hall Trowbridge from 3 – 5.15 pm you are asked to register with Peter Barnett 01225 766195 or pj.barnett@btinternet.com. �Picture Framing Oils, water colours, prints, photographs etc Plain or wash lined mounts Choose from over 50 mouldings Quick service Please ring for appointment Juliet Wilmot The Garden Barn, Chinoe 01380 850314 Darren Sheppard Traditional, Perfectionist, Painter and Decorator.

Phone 07740 280278 Page 24 �CHEESE FROM POULSHOT HIDDEN SECRETS IN FARMHOUSES A re-print of an Article by Nora Dixon from this magazine in April 2004 We came to live in an old farmhouse in Poulshot in 1962, not as farmers but to work in the area. As we got to know the village we found that there seemed to be a high proportion of relatively large farmhouses – fourteen in all in some 1500 acres. The Wiltshire Building Record describes nearly all these houses as ‘possibly early nineteenth century, re-casing of timber-framed structures, or sixteenth century, raised in the late eighteenth or early nineteenth century’, - similar terms described all. Two houses were dated circa 1840. We wondered what it was that had brought the prosperity that enabled such renovation, rebuilding or new building to occur. The Raven Inn had a similar profile. There must have been increasing prosperity in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. In 1962, eleven of these farms were working dairy farms, with farmers living in the farmhouses. Grass was good and the cow population outnumbered the people, although we don’t know the size of herds. Milk was left in 17-gallon churns for collection and most of the milking was done by machine. In the previous century there was no way that whole milk could have been distributed widely – what happened to it? All the farms in Poulshot changed hands around the turn of the nineteenth/twentieth century and sale catalogues of the time showed, as a feature, farmhouses with dairies and cheese-rooms. When I began to ask questions about cheese-making in Poulshot I was advised to read Avice Wilson’s Forgotten Harvest, The Story of Cheese Making in Wilt- shire, and it encouraged me to look at our own house and perhaps other farm- houses in the village. Traditionally, the agricultural county is divided into ‘chalk’ and ‘cheese’, and Poulshot is on the edge of this division. Was cheese-making really so important to farmers that they could extend their houses to provide a dairy, at the same time as improving their residence? A cow could give enough milk in one lactation to make about 5 cwt (hundredweight) of cheese, a quarter of a ton. (One cheese might weigh about 28 lbs (pounds), or two stone. Thus a herd of twenty cows would give sufficient milk to make five tons of cheese in a year – probably a very useful addition to the annual income. The Farmhouse The shape of our house, Lower Green (44 The Green), did not seem to relate to function except as a residence (see Diagram) Reference to Forgotten Harvest and the description of a farmhouse adapted to provide a dairy and cheese-rooms, showed that milk could have been brought from the farmyard on the southwest side of the house. It could have been left in buckets on the veranda to be taken by the dairymaid into the dairy. In 1962, the door into what was possibly the dairy was in two halves, as in a stable, and would have kept farmyard fowls out, but with the top half open would have allowed a through draught to the north window. Other clues emerged: the well on the west side of the veranda would have provided water and the fireplace on the west wall of the dairy could have heated the water – two boilers or coppers were found in the garden. The floor was made of flagstones and was cold. In the room above there was evidence of a trapdoor in the floor that suggested cheeses could easily have been brought from the dairy below using a winch or ladder. A series of drawings of Poulshot by John Malchair, dated 1786-96, came up for sale at Sotheby’s in 2000. One of Lower Green, from 1788, did not show the hipped roof now at the northeast corner of the house. This is an indication that the dairy and cheese-room extension were added after that date. The picture also shows Longhorn cows, a breed that was favoured for dairying at that time.I talked to people who lived in farmhouses in the village and was invited in. At Lodge Farm, still a working farm today, the present elegant west-facing residence was built in the 1790s. On the east side, south facing and an integral part of the residence, is an older building. On the east side, but north facing, is a very large dairy (no longer used as such), with a cheese-room above, equally large. The cheese-room has racks still standing which would have been shelved to hold maturing cheeses. �In one corner there is a trap door with a winch over it to bring the cheeses up from the dairy, and there is a door on the first floor that would have enabled matured cheeses to be loaded directly onto a cart in the farmyard, ready for market. Outside the dairy are a well and a boiler for heating water. Whey was channelled from the dairy to the piggeries on the farm. A local builder, Reg Collett ̧ (1902-1994), whose memories of the village went back t o b e f o r e t h e F i r s t Wo r l d Wa r, remembered cheese from Lodge Farm – it was hard, with a blue vein and a nutty flavour. Other elderly residents recall cheese being taken around the village and large wedges being cut off for sale. At Dukes Farm (59 The Green), the evidence for cheese making is not so clear, but there was a dairy on the north side and a room, still called the cheese- room, on the first floor. Mrs Baber, mother of the present owner Joe, who was trained as a cheese maker before the Second World War and won prizes for it at Frome Cheese Show, made cheese during the war, although not on a large scale. Higher Green Farm (1 The Green) is still a working dairy farm today. The south front extension to the west is clear from the Green and its north doors suggest a dairy with covered access from the north and the farmyard. In the room above, again still called the cheese-room, is a trapdoor down to the dairy. These rooms are now part of the residence but the north door of the ground floor has a ‘slide’ in it which could have been opened to provide a through draught for the old dairy. Church Farm has a large north facing ground floor room, with a room above shelved for storing cheeses. Here there was a large lead-lined tank for collecting whey, and there were old piggeries in the yard. Mr Jehu Harris, a cheese maker from Somerset, came to the farm early in the century and did make some cheese in the 1920s - his family still live in the house. Other farmhouses, no longer associated with farming, have been extended and altered, but would probably show similar clues to one of their nineteenth century functions. Hearsay evidence from villagers (boys in the village in the 1930s and 1940s) confirms this. May Day! May Day! Save the date … Not an imminent disaster, but a celebration. We can’t quite match the choristers greeting the dawn atop Magdalen Tower in Oxford, but we would like to invite all families and friends in Poulshot to join us for a May Day Celebration at the village hall on the afternoon of Sunday 30th April. There’ll be tea, cake, good company and maybe even a maypole! It’s always good to get together, so we hope to see you there. We’ll give you a reminder and a few more details in the next PVN. �Edwin Giddings, Devizes Delicatessan, Coffee Shop, Light Lunches, Fine Wines and Real Ales. “A hidden gem bursting with goodies” Open Monday–Saturday 9am–5.30pm.

Alleluia! He is risen indeed! Alleluia!” I love it! I love Easter! The blessing of Easter has changed my life – giving me hope, purpose and meaning, especially as I reflect on the suffering and woundedness of the world. “Tomb, you shall not hold him longer, death is strong, but life is stronger; stronger than the dark, the light; stronger than the wrong, the right; faith and hope triumphant say; Christ will rise on Easter Day”. A Sunday school teacher was teaching her class about the Passion of Jesus-his sufferings, death and burial and about how the women went to the tomb early in the morning and found that the tomb was empty. Then she asked, “what do you think were the first words that Jesus said when he came out from the tomb, risen from the dead?” Lots of hands shot up. “Yes?” She said, pointing to a child on the second row. The boy stood up excitedly – “Ta da!” Easter Day is a Ta-da day! For me it is the most wonderful day of the year as I reflect that God walked our earth, sharing in the pain and suffering of a humanity that had lost their way, sharing in my pain. In his words and actions Jesus taught us all we needed to know about love and hope and eternity. He looked into the face of evil that will always try and destroy love– and defeated it. Yes! Evil can be defeated! He faced the biggest fear of humanity – death – and moved beyond it into eternity. Yes! We can move beyond death into eternity! He rose again to be with us always. Therefore I am never alone. And still, with arms of love open to us – he invites us “come to me”. Christ is risen! Alleluia! He is risen indeed! Alleluia! The joy and excitement of Easter Day is like that of a premier division crowd as their football team scores the winning goal just 30 seconds from the final whistle. The resurrection is GOOD NEWS. Good news for those first disciples; good news for us and good news for the world. St Augustine of Hippo said that “A Christian is an alleluia from head to foot”. But, sadly, most people in our increasingly secular world miss it and Easter Day will be just another day (except for the chocolate and Easter bunnies!) “O Lord, you love us! Why aren’t we shouting? The stone’s rolled away! Why aren’t we dancing? O Lord, you love us! Why aren’t the bells pealing? The victory’s won! Why aren’t the drums drumming? Why aren’t the feet stamping and the doves flying and the bands marching and the fingers snapping and the tongues praising and the hands clapping and the trumpets blaring and the choirs singing and the cymbals clashing and the children laughing? Why aren’t the eyes smiling and the banners blowing and the horns sounding and the voices calling and the crowds clamouring and the arms waving and the tambourines playing and the hearts humming……..”. Our Easter services are at 8.00 and 11.00 at Seend and 9.15 at Bulkington and Poulshot May God bless you and surprise you with his love and joy this Easter. The Revd. Maureen Allchin, Rector Page 6 of 40 �Bus services consultation People are being invited to have their say on a review of subsidised bus services in Wiltshire. The review is being carried out as part of wider plans to help Wiltshire Council save millions of pounds over the next three years. Half of the bus mileage in the county is subsidised with £5.1 million per year from Wiltshire Council as it is not commercially viable otherwise. The rest of the services in Wiltshire are operated on a commercial basis by various operators. The consultation can be found at www.wiltshire.gov.uk/subsidised-bus-servicesconsultation, paper copies can be picked up in council offices, libraries, on buses operating contracted services, or people can call 0300 456 0100 to have one posted to them. It runs from 11 January to 4 April. The review will also consider how community transport might be able to assist with public transport, and will be accompanied by continuing work to identify savings in other areas of the council’s passenger transport spending. Once the consultation ends, a report will go to Wiltshire Council’s cabinet members to make a decision.

Continuing on from last month’s adventures of Paul and Marilyn Longden on a tour of Albania in November 2015 here is part of their story We found Albania to be extremely cheap with a typical 3 course meal for 2 with drinks costing about 10 euros per person. There are no ATMs for foreign accounts. Many establishments preferred and appreciated Euros (you may have trouble spending your Albanian Lek so keep plenty of Euros in reserve). Tipping; wages are so low that this is really appreciated. Typically we left 10% but locals seem to leave a few coins. A small tip in euro coinage appeared to be appreciated. It is of note that many Albanian motorists appear to drive without documents or licences and choose to “sort the problem out” when they are stopped by the traffic police. We were told that 5 euros or 1000 Lek would sort most problems out. It is also of note that there were police check points every 5 or 10 km, or even every 200 metres in towns and villages. The traffic police waved us over only once in 500 km of driving and then waved us on as soon as they saw we were right hand drive and they would have to speak English. TOURIST ATTRACTIONS: There are only a few guide books that highlight the features of this beautiful, amazing country. We used the Bradt guide (ISBN-13 978 1 84162 855 4) and found it to be accurate, useful and reasonable value for such a specialist book, at £16.99. Things of note include the incredible historic Roman ruins at Butrint. The site can be reached by road or a simple raft ferry. Further north, the SH8 highway runs along the unspoilt coast and zig zags around the mountains. This is an astonishing route with breathtaking scenery and is probably one of the most memorable roads in the world. Durres, a seaside resort, also deserves a special mention, it has an amazing fruit and vegetable market, roman amphitheatre and some interesting modern sculpture and design in its city centre spaces. The castle, museum and bazaar in the small village of Kruja (about 1 hr north of Durress/Tirane) are beautiful and also worth visiting. The capital, Tirane, is apparently worth a visit but we only had time to drive through it. �However, the most incredible tourist attraction apart from the exceptional scenery, has to be the Albanian people themselves. The country and the people have in recent years gathered a reputation for crime, violence and dishonesty; the reality was that we felt safer than in many other parts of Europe. Whilst Albania does have a range of significant internal problems such as bribery, widespread disregard of laws and social practices that are alien to more western countries (such as a very machismo society) we found the Albanian people to be some of the most wonderful people we have met anywhere on earth and old fashioned practices are changing rapidly. We found the people to be kind, friendly, generous, justly proud of their country, industrious and very welcoming. We had a most wonderful time and cannot wait to return and explore more of this wonderful country. LOCAL ETIQUETTE: Albanians shake hands frequently and are more “touchy feely” than we reserved Brits. To indicate “yes” they often move the head horizontally from side to side as in our “no”. Their “no” is sometimes a slight raising of the eyebrows, sometimes with a gentle click of the tongue. A definite “no” is to raise the entire chin. This is changing as Albanians adopt “European” etiquette, which can prove confusing! It is of note that Albanians appear to have limited interest in the “external built environment”, with indifference towards litter and the appearance around buildings. This contrasts with the internal environment which tends to be very “house proud”; hence the cleanliness of toilets. FOOD: The quality of the food was excellent, something of a “foodie” paradise. Shops, supermarkets and garages were very well stocked with everything necessary. WEATHER: Temperatures in November were in the early 20s & we had blue skies for our entire visit. GENERAL: It is of note that the ferry port at Durres appeared to be an efficient and well run operation and we would definitely consider using it on our next visit. Ferries run from Ancona and Bari in Italy. Our route was north along the coast to Durres, inland to Tirane, south to Lake Ohrid and back to Greece. Some English was spoken in most places we visited. We also managed with a little French and German at times. Italian is also spoken in some places. There were few insects but we would recommend an insect repellent. SUMMARY: Ben(z), our 20 year old Mercedes van was in heaven. Nowhere else on earth can there be so many old Mercedes vans, all happily trundling along the bumpy but gorgeous road network. He enjoyed meeting his cousins and we were astonished at the range of uses that Mercedes vans were being put to; from fire engines, quarry vehicles, coaches and fuel/gas tankers to recovery vehicles. We didn’t see any other British motor homes in Albania during our short visit, although we saw a handful from other countries including Slovenia, Germany, Holland and Belgium. If you haven’t visited Albania, we hope our experiences might encourage you to visit this very special country. �WILTSHIRE COUNCILLOR NEWS FROM JONATHON SEED My experience of Poulshot is of a village well represented with a strong Parish Council and excellent community spirit. Residents are not afraid to engage and help where something or some opinion is needed. Community speed watch and engagement in the solar project are good examples of positive community action although I am interested that two critics of the solar project are now the trustees of the village solar community fund. Where projects arise for village benefit like the pond refurbishment or village hall kitchen upgrade someone always steps forward to take them on. The recent proposal to restart village cricket on the green is another excellent example of community engagement - and it is not just cricket players who are pushing this project forward. Local residents have stepped forward to help secure grant funding and investigate sport project planning and all this is coming from a variety of sources. Part of my role as local Councillor has been to get involved on the fringes as a facilitator and friend of the village projects and that includes the village cricket project. Youth services as with all other council run services remain under financial pressure but it is good news that the local youth network for our community area is making provision for young people across our community area. In the past Council youth services concentrated on towns and it really is progress that free transport is being provided for (and used by) our young village residents to enjoy youth facilities at the Canberra Youth Centre every Thursday evening. Anyone who wants to take advantage of this should contact Jack Oatley at jack@youngmelksham.org.uk to book a 'pick up'. Finally residents will want to know that I have recently been reselected by my local Party to stand again for election as your local Wiltshire Councillor in the elections of 2017.

To be honest I just don’t get the point in that throw a ball….fetch the ball…..throw a ball thing. My real name (the name on my birth certificate) is Gifford Rose. My owners realised that they were going to look pretty daft shouting that across the fields and so they voted on names, and Summer won. Overall I am happy with the name. I love long walks and mostly can be walked off the lead. Only occasionally do I get myself a bit over exited and then my owners tell me I go a bit deaf… personally I blame it on the squirrels because they are normally the cause. ‘If in doubt blame the squirrels’ is my life motto. My parents were both gun dogs, but if you promise not to laugh I will let you into a secret – I am frightened of bangs – all bangs. I get very worried when they are shooting (which is a lot of the time) and when they are firing on Salisbury Plain. Thunder and lightening and fireworks are the worst and make me shake. Most other things I love. Especially food. I LOVE FOOD. I love sausages and chicken and beef and toast (buttered is best), cheese, ice cream, most anything. My only dislikes are sprouts (I don’t actually think you are supposed to eat those), asparagus, spinach and bananas. I have travelled a lot and lived in Italy for almost two years. The best things about living in Italy are pizza (obviously) and lizards. My owners find it funny to shout ‘lizard ‘ and make me pounce into the long grass but I know you don’t get them in England (I wish you did because they are great fun to chase), but I pounce anyway just to play along and because I love my family. I am very friendly and so please say hello if you see me around. �Picture Framing Oils, water colours, prints, photographs etc Plain or wash lined mounts Choose from over 50 mouldings Quick service Please ring for appointment Juliet Wilmot The Garden Lodge, Chifoe 01380 850314 Darren Sheppard Traditional, Perfectionist, Painter and Decorator.

Could you help support your local community in reducing speeding? Communitv SPEED WATCH AREA REDUCE YOUR SPEED Matct: Wit.SorJ $2)12>ZJf Sl-2iPJ' r1 AI.- \,./,·,_soJ. Co. U.J( As many of you may have noticed the Speed Watch project is up and running in Poulshot. At the moment we only have 4 trained volunteers with 3 more to be trained. At this level of personnel it is not possible to cover the full spectrum of days, times and locations . I would therefore like to appeal for more volunteers, couples are particularly welcome as the activity requires at least two In order to undertake a survey. I know that the volunteers have enjoyed the activity so far, it’s outdoors and interesting. It’s fun to see the reaction of drivers to the volunteers at the side of the road, it is also very revealing to see the good and bad driving practices as well as the methods drivers use to slow down after spotting the volunteers. After all that’s the object of the exercise, to educate and slow the traffic down. To that end its very successful, many drivers react by slowing down to a very precise 30mph. Unfortunately for them by the time they see the volunteers their speed has already been measured. I also thought that you would like to see the results so far, We have measured a total of 594 vehicles, of which 36 have been reported for excessive speed (6%). The highest speed recorded so far is 49mph. 6 percent might not seem a very high percentage, but you should be aware that the limit for reporting is considerably higher than the 30mph limit. I think the actual percentage above 30mph would be considerably higher So if you fancy a bit of fresh air and a bit of fun while serving the community please volunteer.

On Sunday February 7th, a very special morning service was held in the village. WriDen and led by Rev. Maureen, It was to commemorate one hundred years of the fire, which had destroyed the whole of the knave roof and the furniture in the nave. Maureen gave a very animated account of the event, and one could picture the scene of the horse drawn fire engine racing down Caen hill and across the v i l l a g e Green in its haste to put out the fire. It was very encouraging to have the Church full on this occasion with friends from the other two parishes in the benefice joining us. Then, the icing on the cake. We moved on to the Chapel of Ease for lunch. This was where services were held during the Mme when the Church was ‘out of acMon’. The Chapel, beauMfully decorated for the occasion was looking very different to how it must have been during the nine years when used for weekly worship. About fiQy of us sat down to a three course lunch, which was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. I am sure we all went home feeling privileged to be living in a place where there is such fellowship. On behalf of everyone who was there I should like to thank Maureen, the Churchwardens, and Members of the PCC, who worked so hard to make it a memorable occasion and also to ‘Annie and her helpers’ for providing such a banquet. by Brian James �SUPPORT FOR A WORTHY CAUSE It seems that one of the illnesses of modern 9mes which par9cularly affects the elderly is demen9a, and, no doubt, most of us know of a family member or a friend who suffers in this way. Na9onally, over 800,000 people are affected by demen9a, and it is expected that this figure will double in the next 30 years. The most common cause of demen9a is Alzheimer’s disease, which affects some 520,000 people in the UK. Caring for someone with demen9a is one of the hardest jobs there is. Fortunately, in Sidmouth Street in Devizes, there is the local branch of Alzheimer’s Support, an award-winning charity suppor9ng people with all types of demen9a and their carers in this area. Visi9ng their office in Sidmouth Street, one is immediately impressed by the posi9ve and determined artude, their understanding of the problems of demen9a, and their willingness and ability to provide support to individuals and families. This is carried out by specialist staff and advisers, and a large team of volunteers. Apart from providing guidance and informa9on to sufferers and their families, they organise visits by trained Support Workers; the Sidmouth Day Club (an ac9vity-based social club for people with demen9a); and a Carer’s Support Group. To say that their work is valued and necessary is a massive understatement. Of course, all of this costs, and this charity relies heavily on fund raising. To help in a small way, St. Peter’s Church has made Alzheimer’s Support our chosen charity in this period of Lent. Our congrega9on have their Lent boxes to which you can contribute if you wish. However, the principal fund-raising event will be the Lent Lunch to be held in the Village Hall on Saturday 12 March from 12.00 – 2.00 pm. There is no charge for this lunch. To reflect the Lenten period, it is a simple lunch of wholesome homemade soup served with fresh bread and local cheese, followed by tea and coffee. There will be a variety of soups made by members of the church, and you are welcome to try as many as you wish. There is no raffle, but if you enjoy the lunch, you will be able to donate to this most worthy charity, which will receive all contribu9ons. St. Peter’s Church warmly invite you to afend the Lent Lunch. If you are around, please call in the Village Hall, enjoy a simple but tasty lunch in good company, and support a very important local charity which benefits hundreds of people in the area both now and in future years. The Queens Invita4onal XI – Friday 10th June 6pm – All Welcome Poulshot Cricket Club are delighted to announce that we will be hos9ng a 20:20 evening of cricket in honour of the Queen’s 90th birthday.

Hippocrates As we recovered from the challenge of last years moonwalk, choruses of never again were heard throughout the shire. But like childbirth the memories of the more difficult moments disappeared almost as quickly as the blisters. And rather like when you are handed that beautiful baby, realising that we had raised over £3000 and had had a lot of fun in the process the moonwalk didn't seem so bad as to not try it again. We also have experience on our side, we know what to expect and how to manage our marathon. Which is a good thing? Due to commitments, injury and distance. A firm no from our friend in Spain who suffered with the cold that evening. Our merry band of walkers are Penny Nixon, Lizzie Hunter, Sara Weeden and Kim Johnson. If anybody would like to join us, please let a lunar know. We will be asking for sponsorship like last year and would be grateful for any donations.

The annual Quiz Night organised by the Village Hall Commifee was held on 12 February, and was a great success. This was due almost en9rely to one man, our Quiz Master, Alan Webber. Not only does he spend many, many hours compiling ten interes9ng and varied rounds of ques9ons, he then conducts the evening in a light hearted but firm fashion, aided by his roguish sense of humour and willingness to poke fun at himself. All thirteen teams entered fully into the spirit of the evening, answering the ques9ons willingly with the right amount of seriousness but good humour when gerng it wrong. This was aided by the excellent bar service from Sam and Karl which ensured our thirsts were sa9sfied throughout the evening. The worthy winners were Pam and Ian Gillies, especially praiseworthy as they were a team of two compe9ng against teams of four! The money raised from the evening contributes to the running costs of the Village Hall. Without such fund raising events and, more significantly, the monies from the 100 Club, we could not finance the hall and run it for the benefit of all villagers. So, thank you, Alan, for providing us with a thoroughly enjoyable evening in comfortable surroundings and convivial company. If you have not been to any of our village quiz nights, do come along in the future for you will be most welcome. No doubt we will be looking to organise another one in the autumn. �THE Raven Inn POULSHOT !

However next day we found it had died and nearby found yet another dead tawny owl chick . The good news is that we found a much stronger tawny chick up in a tree which Giles Morgan and I managed to get down and place in a box.We took it to the Hawk Conservancy near Andover where the staff took it into their hospital where it will be looked after until it is fit to be released . We have asked that it is released back into our garden with others if they wish.I will keep you updated.

Tomorrow is Ascension Day; next week Whitsun, and then the long lazy days of the Trinity season. Did you know there are twenty five Sundays in the Trinity season, and the next major festival is Advent.? How to wish your life away! The long lazy days of Trinity when we can rest and go for long walks in the June sunshine, and have picnics and see the flowers, and watch the streams and the fish and the butterflies. As WH Davies wrote so eloquently, "What is this life if full of care we have no time to stand and stare; no time to stand beneath the boughs and stare as long as sheep or cows?" and what beautiful eyes cows in particular have, as they stare down into the stream. I have been thinking about animals quite a lot recently, particularly dogs and their relationship with their owners. Dogs who rest their muzzles on their owners laps, and dogs which look longingly into their owners eyes. What tremendous communication there is between them; no words just unspoken trust and devotion. I was privileged recently to stand next to a profoundly deaf priest, in the cathedral, and he had a signer standing opposite him and so as we sang the hymns he did so with his whole body and the communication between him and his signer was just wonderful; real joy, without any words. All this leads me on to asking the question do we use too many words? Are words sometimes a barrier in communication? Sometimes I have heard it said "l don't know what God is saying to me", or "God never seems to speak to me". Of course there are instances in the Bible when God does speak directly, particularly to Samuel, when the boy thought it was the old priest Eli who was calling him, but usually I think God speaks to us without words. Just think of those times when you go out into the countryside and you can see all the blossom and the grasses reaching up towards the light? Isn't that all about praise? Or think of the times when you weep at the sight of a glorious sunset, or when you stop in your tracks when you see snow on the mountainside. Isn't that awe and wonder? What about those times when you feel a nudge to do something, and that nudge won't go away? I believe that God is there all the time for all of us , we just have to use our other senses not just our ears. Its not so much that he/she will tell you something, its more you will know. He/she/it, communicates with us through all our senses because we are all part ofthe same creation. In a way that's what Trinity is all about; Father ,yes, son, yes, and Holy Spirit; three separate entities, but all part of the one, and that's incomprehensible unless we think of ourselves as being part ofthe one great whole, the Trinity, not separate from it. So as we look forward to even lighter evenings, and maybe holidays I hope and pray that we will be able to take some time to quieten our hearts and minds, even with all the summer activities of fetes and festivals and teas. Just remember the long lazy days of summer, and enjoy and be thankful.

Smith Plant Ltd. Waste Carriers No. CBD4142585 �A View From My Window Its amazing what a difference a bit of lovely weather makes, although as I write and the sun is s9ll shining , I am very aware of wil9ng plants that are wai9ng to go into the ground which is hard and dry, and s9ll rather cold. But my thoughts are turning to holidays ; we are off soon to France and look forward to siXng outside without a fleece , and yet as I write we are s9ll in the season of Easter , and Ascension day is yet to come and by the 9me you read this will have come and gone I wonder how many people think much about Ascension Day and what it can possibly mean. Not all that long ago we all had a day off school and correct me if I’m wrong but its s9ll a na9onal holiday in essen9ally Roman catholic countries. In church circles in this country it will have been celebrated and depending on churchmanship there will have been incense in some, par9cularly as we think of the word ascension , and that’s exactly what the smoke of incense does, rises, and in others there will have been joyful services full of music and happiness. Jesus has not only risen from the dead, but he has ascended into heaven. Now at this point don’t stop reading. Of course its one of the great mysteries of the Chris9an faith and its perfectly Ok , in fact a good thing to ques9on how this could possibly have happened , but what would be beber would be to ask the ques9on , why did this happen? Why did Jesus come back and appear to so many people? Why did he wait so long before he somehow was re absorbed into his father’s territory, or wherever you like to think heaven is? Some9mes its easier to see things in the way children do. They can accept that Harry Pober can go through the wall of the plaeorm on the sta9on and in so doing they can explore the wonderful possibili9es of Hogwarts and the world beyond. They don’t get hung up on the first hurdle. Just think for a moment Jesus lived on earth ,and then he died and then he rose and saw so many people, and then the ASCENSION. How can we possibly explain that? Well I’ll try. Imagine a balloon with the picture of Jesus on it. And the balloon moves along from one person to the next, and obviously whilst the balloon is in one place, it cannot be in another. Imagine if that balloon were to burst, the air or the essence of it (of Jesus) would be released into the atmosphere and rise up. The remains of the balloon would fall to the ground somewhere , but the essence of it, the air would rise, and then come down again and land on as many people as are around. If God is one and in three parts, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, then the Holy Spirit which is the link between God and all of us can be released wherever it will only aAer the contained human Jesus had leA this earth, and Alleluia at Pentecost (4th June) we celebrate the day when the Holy spirit did indeed come down on the heads of the disciples like tongues of flame and the church was born. Maybe that’s what it means to have a flaming June. Have a good one. Jane Knowles .

Devizes, Wiltshire with a display of vintage vehicles Anyone wishing to bring a vintage vehicle along will be most welcome.

Refreshments will be available. Free Admission ALL ENQUIRIES TO KEITH & PAULINE DAY 01380 828459/07518235850 The Lackham Vintage Society has chosen this year to donate the proceeds from The Vintage Vehicle evening on Wednesday 14th June 2017 to The Freewheelers Emergency Voluntary Service (Blood Bikes). We feel that this is a very worthwhile cause and not one of the more recognised chari9es. Freewheelers are a registered charity that provides a free of charge, out of hours medical motorcycle courier service to the Na9onal Health Service. They provide a courier service to hospitals. They provide to play a part in saving people’s lives and ride to save the Na9onal Health Service money which would otherwise be wasted on taxis and expensive couriers. They operate from 19.00hrs un9l 7.00hrs on weekdays and 24 hours at weekends and bank holidays. The service is provided by volunteers and they depend en9rely on public dona9ons and sponsorships. Some of the things that they carry are Blood for transfusion, Platelets and other blood products, Urine, Pathology and Microbiology specimens, X-rays, Scans, Pa9ent’s notes, Breast milk and small medical equipment. They use liveried BMW motorcycles fibed with blue lights and sirens so that deliveries classified as an emergency can be delivered safely and quickly. In 2008 the Freewheelers Volunteers were awarded “The Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service” this is recognised as the MBE for Volunteers. Hopefully the weather will be kind to us on the night and with your support we will be able to raise a substan9al amount of money for this cause. �Can You Help Us To Build A Better Future For Your Air Ambulance? Wiltshire Air Ambulance has been saving lives for over 27 years and work has begun on our new airbase at Semington, near Melksham. The new airbase will bring together our helicopter, aircrew and charity team onto one site for the first time. The central location of our new airbase will mean our helicopter will be able to reach all parts of Wiltshire within 11 minutes, as it currently does now from its base in Devizes. Our fundraising appeal for the new airbase has got off to a flying start, but we still need to raise just under £1 million to complete the building and equipping of it. Can you help us raise the vital funds for our Airbase Appeal? There are lots of different ways you can get involved, such as holding a cake sale, organising a challenge event or uploading a photo for our helicopter mosaic. We also have fun ways for schools and businesses to get onboard and support our appeal. Find our more by visiting our special website www.wiltshireairbaseappeal.co.uk , call the Charity Team office on 01380 739453 or email hello@wiltshireairambulance.co.uk Registered charity number: 1144097 �Jerry and Natalie welcomed the village to the Raven to celebrate Jerry’s 50th Birthday. and to collect donations on behalf of Alzheimer’s Research UK.

Even in the 21st century, we love to emulate the gardens of our past, looking to using all manner plants and trees, and of course no garden is complete without the pots, urns, benches or pergolas. Garden an9ques can add the touch of understated elegance and luxury and are always a very personal and considered purchase. The most common an9que for the garden is the planter, which of course can be the tradi9onal carved sandstone troughs, but sugges9ons of old Belfast sinks or cast iron feeders make wonderful alterna9ves. Saddle stones (mushroom stones) were used to support barns and granaries to prevent spoilage of the produce by the elements and vermin, and great regional varia9ons exist in shape and stone. But it is important to think outside the box and look at architectural reclama9on as these one of a kind statements can transform your garden. Think beau9ful scrolled iron work gates or reclaimed 9mbers made in to a beau9ful arbour. A great personal love of mine is the stunning iron benches, par9cularly from the Georgian period. Aben9on to detail was given to the simple decora9on and curve, and defines this period so beau9fully. But they do come with quite a heAy price tag! But if you are lucky you may find a hidden gem in a local reclama9on yard, so keep hun9ng you never know what you will come across to adorn your “lible bit of England!” �DOLMAN AUDIO VISUAL Berhills Lane Farm, Sells Green, Melksham Telephone: 01380 828524 We know HI FI TELEVISION VIDEO DVD literally inside out!

Well it was started a while ago to discuss various issues covering subjects from Lent courses to Praying, to have a better understand of church services to the simple subjects that some of us find difficult to understand. Many of us go to church on a Sunday for various reasons, ie to join with other like minded people to share our faith, to enjoy the singing etc. How often do we take for granted what the church service is all about? The Buzz Group has become a monthly meeting of friends who enjoy discussing lots of varied and interesting subjects. It is not a Bible Study Group (although there is one in the Benefice), but a chance to share so many things with friends. If you have something on your mind that you want to discuss, then do come along and share this with us all. It's fun, we start with a cuppa and suddenly an hour and a half has whizzed by. The Revd Jane Knowles is 'in charge' but we all play an active part in the group. We meet the first Wednesday in the month and the next meeting is 7 May at Sue Noad's house. If anyone is interest in coming along, be it for the first time, or a return visit, please ring either Jane (870235) or Sue (870433). We would love to welcome you.

We put a roof over him to keep the rain off and put food down for him with some water. A plank was also placed into the water feature to see if he would get out by himself. The food quickly disappeared but he showed no signs of leaving and we were at the stage of trying to lift him out and put him somewhere quiet when we woke up after 4 days to find him gone. We are very lucky to have 5 or 6 visiting hedgehogs every night and it is so nice to be able to look out of the front door windows and watch them feeding. ��St Peter’s Church Poulshot Parish Council Priest in Charge tbc Chairman Geoff Colleb (828465) Clerk Elizabeth Mar9n (828206) email: poulshotparishcouncil@gmail.com Council Members Adrian Baber Mike Wilson Steve Housby Sam Wright-Hurn Ben Hamilton Tim Jalland Re4red Priest: The Revd.

Some villages have scarecrows, Poulshot will have flags. It would be great if every house in the Village could put up at least one flag in their front garden. They could be bought, or designed and painted by you and your children. Any design, traditional or invented. If they could be up by Sunday 4th June, we would have a week of colour before the weekend. The idea would be that all flags be brought down to the Green on the Saturday and planted around the Green. The Village Hall is booked for the Saturday mornings, 28th May and 4th June from 10am.

In this edition, catch up on the news from the last few weeks - Find out how the PF&N got on at their Brandy Tasting night Meet Scooter Coleman, this month’s star in Pets Corner, and a quick read of the Key Messages from the Annual General Meeting of the Parish Council. This month we have a new dinosaur maze for our younger readers. Looking forward to June we have the Queen’s “Bit Of A Do” birthday celebration weekend that kicks off on Friday evening (10th) with an everyone-invited Cricket match on the new pitch. There will be a parade of flags during the weekend, so if you haven’t made yours yet, look out for the Flag Making day at the Village hall. The BBQ on the Saturday night is free, there will be music from our resident DJ and lots to drink. See the inside cover for more information. Also this month the PF&N group are off for a trip on the canal, so if you haven’t got your ticket contact Pam, the Vintage Vehicle Rally will be taking place on the Green. Take a look at our diary in the centre of the magazine. Ever wondered about the Devizes Cinema…take a read for more info. To help encourage summer a long a little, why not try this month’s recipe, a Paella that is just as good being cooked on a BBQ as on the stove.

(well for a weekend anyway), and I hope we have a flaming June so we will be able to celebrate the Queen’s birthday in great style; but what a difficult season it is proving to be in the garden. I have been worried about my fig tree and my wisteria which at the 9me of wri9ng is overladen with buds, but I’m anxious it might have been frosted. If the buds survive it will be a wonderful sight. This is not a gardening column however. You must look elsewhere for that. Its amazing how oAen Jesus uses plant analogies and stories in the bible; fig trees and olive trees , and wheat and tares together sown, (whatever they might be) and seeds. Whatever your Chris9an leanings, who can ever forget the wonderful picture of Adam and Eve in the Garden; paradise; a picture of heaven (that is before Adam bit into the apple)?. Another example is that of the parable which talks about giving people another chance and in précis its this.. “A man planted a fig tree and waited for three years for it to produce fruit, and it didn’t , so he said to the gardener cut it down , its was9ng soil, but the gardener replied leave it alone for one more year and I’ll dig round it and fer9lise it . If it bears fruit next year then fine , but if not cut it down.” I tend to be like that in my garden, trying to rescue plants which are not fruidul, (as I said I am worried about my fig tree this year, but I will go on tending it and nurturing it.) I hope I am like that with people too ie I hope I do give them another chance; it’s a good idea. When we look aAer people and give them another chance its amazing how oAen they do indeed come good.. Just recently I led a retreat which focused on the 23rd psalm and I was reminded of the colour green ; greenness. Is it a noun or an adjec9ve or even a verb? It is so strong and so vivid and so ac9on packed in the rain. Following on from that I have oAen asked myself the ques9on , and maybe there’s a mathema9cian out there who can answer me , “ How much water does it take to make the leaves of a horse chestnut tree grow turgid and how much more water does it take for the flowers on a horse chestnut tree to become glorious candelabra shining in the sunshine?” Isn’t that an amazing phenomenon that such a huge amount of water can be sucked up in to the tree. ;just one of the wonders of crea9on? I’m sure you can all think of something in crea9on which just fills you with wonder par9cularly at this 9me of the year. What about all those blue bell woods; surely they liA the soul. There’s a beau9ful modern psalm or prayer called” greenness”, (sadly out of print), and it starts off , “Dear God, there are 9mes when I hear your voice most clearly in greenness; in the singing of sap; the conversa9ons of the leaves ; the whisperings of shoot and stem , root ,sap and cell calling me back to crea9on, to feel again the freshness of you running through everything like a bright emerald current.” So, I urge you all to take 9me to no9ce. Jesus did. Stop press: The wisteria is fine. The Revd.

IN MEMORY OF MAJOR JOHN BARTHOLOMEW We moved to Poulshot in 1963 and through our mutual love of the Countryside and Country pursuits we met John who felt the same way. He was very involved with the Avon Vale Foxhounds and had a great knowledge and love of the Countryside. John was a Poulshot man through and through always having time to chat to all and taking a great interest, and attending village functions. John was very passionate about the Village Green and all the activities etc which he often watched with his dog from the seat opposite his drive. I was a member of the PCC for many years,the help and wisdom we gained from him was vast in keeping Poulshot a lovely country village so near Devizes. We are grateful for all the .advice and support he gave to Poulshot in every way possible over the years.

Serves 4 Remember: for the perfect wine match consult Colin at Edwin Giddings in Devizes One more step What motivates you to take one more step? Just one more step, words I am sure were repeated in every moon walkers mind the night of Saturday 14th of May. 15,000 brains all thinking the same thing at some point during the twentieth London moonwalk. It is without doubt a challenge, 26.2 miles is not easy and walking when you should be asleep makes it so much more difficult. So what makes you take one more step? Is it the volunteers with their endless encouragement, support and enthusiasm, they are a very special group of men and women. They certainly help you take those steps. Is it the fellow walkers? The oldest lady being 85, the oldest male 91, yes they certainly encourage you to take one more step. Even when you are walking on your own, you are never really on your own, you see the very best kind of human nature on this night. Everybody doing something for strangers. Another step taken. With each step we knew that we were raising money to make a difference for those living with cancer now and for treatment in the future. So I suppose that's what made us take one more step, a step towards the finish line and ultimately a step towards an end to this most hideous disease. So thank you to all that have supported us, our five pairs of feet raised to date over £1300. Not bad for a nights work. https://moonwalklondon2016.everydayhero.com/uk/lunar-tits �The Tranquil Moment Health and Beauty clinic The Tranquil Moment health and beauty clinic is set in the beautiful village of Poulshot, just 2 miles from Devizes.

I was born at Brent Knoll, in Somerset, on 30th August 2015. I’ve got 9 brothers and sisters. This is all of us asleep in the Utility Room. We all slept there with our Mum, Dad and Granny. I’m the one in the top left corner. We all had different coloured collars so that we knew who everybody was. I think my Mum was glad to see the back of us when we left as it got a bit rowdy when we were all playing around. This is me now. I thought I was quite big, but when I went back to see Mum and Dad a few weeks ago I realised that I still had some way to grow. I’ve lost all my puppy teeth but I still like to chew anything that I can get hold of, including walls, skirting boards, rugs, dog leads, shoes. My master doesn’t understand that this is the way we keep our teeth in good condition and how we discover what we can eat and what tastes horrible. Well they shouldn’t leave tempting things lying around should they? I love watching wildlife programmes on television while lying on my master’s lap, but the chair is no longer big enough for both of us so one of us is going to have to move! My best friend in Poulshot is Cassie, but I’m happy to be friends with everybody so if you see me around please come over and have a chat! �The Wiltshire Mobile Library visits The Raven Car Park at 12:45 and also The Well, Bulkington at 11:05 The School, Worton at 13:10. on the following dates Monday 08 February, 2016 - Monday 07 March, 2016 - Monday 04 April, 2016 - -Monday 02 May, 2016 - Monday 30 May, 2016 - Monday 27 June, 2016 Chinese Medicine Acupuncture & other Chinese therapies:- Cupping, Moxibus4on, Guasha, can be used to treat people of any age and can be combined safely & successfully with Western Medicine & other therapies Musculoskeletal:- Acute/Chronic injuries, Back pain, Arthri4s Mental Health issues:- Depression, Generalised Anxiety Disorder Stress & fa4gue, OCD, Phobias, Addic4ons Gynaecological problems:- Irregular/heavy & or painful periods, PMT, menopausal symptoms, PCOS/infer4lity Gastro-intes4nal complaints:- Indiges4on, IBS, Crohns Disease, Ulcera4ve Coli4s Skin Condi4ons:- Eczema, Psoriasis, Derma44s Insomnia, Allergies, Sinusi4s, Migraines, Asthma, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Ver4go Now prac4sing at The Devizes Acupuncture Prac4ce, Monday Market St. For more informa4on please call EMMA COLE 01985 850928 You may have to leave a message - I will call you back Page 19 �Poulshot Village Hall Available for meetings, functions, clubs and private parties Booking fees Village activities - £6 an hour Outside users - £10 an hour All bookings for the hall are taken by Elizabeth or Jon Martin on 01380 828206 email bookings@MyPoulshot.com ONE VOICE COMMUNITY CHOIR Sing with All Your Heart and Feel Alive!

This year I have explored the uncharted wilderness of 1823, taken a holiday in the Australian outback, watched an eagle sore, a wolf cub embark on a journey and thank my lucky stars that Gerald Butler was on hand to save a falling London. All from Devizes cinema, where I can be often found with friends, family and even on my own. It is one of my very favourite places where I leave Devizes and find myself in other places, other lives and even other galaxy's. We are often told to support our local amenities when it is too late to save them and I would hate for this to happen to our cinema. If films aren't for you why not try the live screenings, a fabulous opportunity to see theatre productions without venturing too far and at a fraction of the cost. These programmes have enabled me to see award winning productions that I wouldn't ordinarily have the opportunity to view Coriolanus, Hamlet, A street car named desire, The nutcracker and most recently Arthur Millers A view from a Bridge, All five minutes from Poulshot but all giving you the feeling that you are there watching it in the theatre. The next live screening is The Audience which stars the wonderful Dame Helen Mirren. It boasts a monthly film night on a Tuesday, Mondays are £4 a seat special, a bargain.We are very lucky that Devizes still has a cinema, many other market towns have lost theirs to multiplexes. I'll finish now with the words of Joni Mitchell Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got 'Till it's gone They paved paradise And put up a parking lot. �Picture Framing Oils, water colours, prints, photographs etc Plain or wash lined mounts Choose from over 50 mouldings Quick service Please ring for appointment Juliet Wilmot The Garden Lodge, Chivoe 01380 850314 Darren Sheppard Traditional, Perfectionist, Painter and Decorator.

Jim was hard working and conscientious ,loyal and above all a Craftsman in all he did and was a pleasure to employ. He was always willing to impart his knowledge to the younger generation.

Everybody agreed after the tasting session that the high quality Cognac and Armagnac varieties were undoubtedly superior. Geoff illuminated his talk with many anecdotes from his years in the Spirits Industry. An entertaining, informative and tasty evening was enjoyed by all. Next month a visit is planned to an important Garden. If you are interested in coming please let Kate Hunloke or Pam Gillies know and we will give you the details as soon as they are available. I hope that everyone in the Village realises they are invited to attend any of the functions we hold. Subs are £10 per year single, £15 per couple or you can attend for a charge of £2.50 per meeting.

This is a shame because it is a useful opportunity to share what is going on in our village. There were a few willing speakers but not many listeners. Jon Martin once more kindly agreed to stand in as clerk for his wife, Elizabeth, who is still in the USA looking after her mother. Community speedwatch is going well. We have a reasonable number of volunteers but more will be welcome. There are ideas in the pipeline to reduce speeding through our village. Our thanks go to all the volunteers. There are plans afoot to thin out some trees in Green Gardens. Most of the Parish Council meeting was taken up with the annual review of policies and procedures. There were some minor amendments which will be viewable via the website. A document outlining guidance on village green law was accepted by a narrow vote. This too will be available on the village website. The village marquee was damaged by storm Katie. (It was erected outside St Peters at the time). We are awaiting insurance assessment. The church has purchased a new marquee and details of any arrangement they may or may not be making should be sort from the churchwardens. The next meeting of the Parish Council will be on 5th July at 7:30pm. The next meeting of the Community Fund Panel is scheduled for June 29th at 7:30pm. �Poulshot Parish Council Chairman Mr Geoff Collev (828465) Clerk Mrs Elizabeth Mar9n (828206) email: poulshotparishcouncil@gmail.com Council Members Mr Adrian Baber Mr Nicholas Hunloke Mr Steve Housby Mr Tim Coleman Mr Ben Hamilton Mr Tim Nixon Local Wilshire Councillor Cllr Jonathan Seed (850696) e-mail: jonathon.seed@wiltshire.gov.uk Village Trust Chairman Mr Nicholas Hunloke (828333) Secretary Mr Ray Josey (Secretary - 827010) email: raydenjosey@gmail.com Trust Members Tim Coleman (Vice-Chair) Mr Brian James (Treasurer) Mrs Denise Josey (Archivist) Village Hall Village Contacts St Peter’s Church Priest in Charge The Revd.

Smith Plant Ltd. Waste Carriers No. CBD4142585 �A View From My Window Yesterday I went for a walk with my friend. It was a beau9ful day ,hardly a cloud in the sky. My friend and I have been walking fairly regularly for over 30 years , and we have always had a picnic; come rain or shine or indeed snow on some occasions we always have a picnic so we have become masters at picnic spots. We have graduated to liWle folding portable seats which fit on to the back of our rucksacks , but nevertheless we s9ll walk , ( even though she broke her hip last year) and we usually manage to find a beau9ful spot to sit and admire the view, and see the glory of God all around us. That’s an idyllic way to start a magazine ar9cle , you may be thinking, God centred and posi9ve and yet that very morning we had woken up to the horrifying news of the fire in the block of flats in London. What a violent contrast and so we have to ask ourselves where was God in that inferno? How can one situa9on be so lovely and another so horrendous? This is no 9me for pla9tudes, and yes of course we can be angry with God, not least because he is bigger in all senses of the word than we are, but It behoves us to think about the nature of God seriously. Who or what is he /she/it? (By the way that is the sort of ques9on that the Buzz group ponders over). AAer many years trying to work it out, I am coming to this conclusion. I truly believe that God is in everything, not least because in some mysterious way he/she /it is the source of everything, and the source and fount of everything is love. Whatever happens along the way , love is stronger than death. Love does come to the fore at the 9me of great tragedy even more than at the 9me of great rejoicing. What was the response of the people near the tower block? Love. They showed it by empathizing with those caught up in the blaze and just kept on giving and helping in whatever way they could, and dare I say , whichever God they worshipped . What was the response of the people near London Bridge on that terrible night? Love; they kept on giving and suppor9ng and trying to help even thought they put their own lives in danger . When we get angry with God for allowing these things to happen, just remember that we are not robots: God didn’t want the fire to happen, and he didn’t want people to be stabbed to death , and he doesn’t want us to suffer , but suffering is part of the human condi9on because we are not robots and therefore accidents can happen, and people can make wrong decisions. So today , thank God if you can for the beau9ful things that you see all around you, and then thank him for your humanity and ask him to help you to understand and to go on loving. Have a good summer, with lots of picnics. Jane Knowles .

There’s s9ll 9me to sign up for this year’s Edington Arts Choral Workshop on Saturday 10th June at Edington Priory Church. We’ve received over 60 applica9ons so far from all over the south of England, so don’t delay! The workshop will be a fantas9c day for anyone who loves Handel: the music to be rehearsed is his showpiece ‘Dixit Dominus’. Not only that, but the workshop will be taken by Andrew Carwood, one of the country’s leading choral directors, (he is Director of Music at St Paul’s Cathedral and has his own Consort, The Cardinall’s Musick), whose exper9se is matched only by his wit and humour.

As the children’s learning is very much child initiated they have been learning about all sorts of different topics since the start of the summer term. This has ranged from holidays to frogs! Some of the children are preparing to make the transiton to primary school, and we are looking forward to welcoming our regular school teachers in to visit the children in their nursery environment. Other children are making the transiton between nursery rooms as they grow up and are very excited to be doing so! During this term we have seen our four bantom chicks hatch, and we are looking forward to caring for them before they move to live in the garden with our bigger chickens. We are also waiting for our caterpillars to become butterflies so we can set them free! We were very lucky to have Peppa Pig pay us a surprise visit when the childen went on a sponsored Muddy Puddle Walk, and we are proud to say they raised £291 for the Save the Children charity. Once a month on a Friday we also have Tiny Mites Music session come and visit us for children under two. If you know anyone who would like to attend this free fun music session why not contact us to put your name down. Sarah Wheeler, Nursery Manager �Your Village Needs Your IDEAS! The Parish Council would like to hear about your ideas and suggestions for the future and management of the village. Do you want something in particular for the village, are you upset or worried about any aspect of village life. Please let the Parish Council know!!!! You can email the council at poulshotparishcouncil@gmail.com This is an update from the Parish Council regarding the supply of Broadband to the southern part of the village. It is giving the current status of the project after meetings with Openreach and WCC, also at the next Parish Council meeting it is hoped to approve the plan in its current form. This progress could not have been made without the stoic support of Ian Gillies, who has driven this project from the start. Openreach and WCC have confirmed that fibre broadband will be supplied to the southern end of the village by using a conduit placed under the village green, and under the main road. At the moment two of the three poles erected on the green will be removed. The last is subject to further negotiation, however this will not hold up the project in any way. No other poles are envisaged throughout the village except to replace two poles that are in poor condition, that will be a like for like replacement and the old poles will be removed. Much of the work south of Barleyfields has been completed, and it has been confirmed that Mill Farm is included, albeit in a slightly different way. The project will not be complete until the end of October, a delay caused by the need to close the main road for one week. This closure will be between the village hall car park and just south of Barleyfields. This closure is necessary because the cable cannot be placed on the existing poles in that area because of the ancient tree crowns. It would require the felling or lopping of those wellestablished trees. It is envisaged that at the end of October ALL properties in the village will be covered by high speed broadband, those in the south having the luxury of fibre speeds. However you will not get it automatically, it is up to the residents to apply to their ISP for the upgrade in their premises, in some cases you might have to shop around to find a supplier who is willing to supply you. In the case of Mill Farm, there may have to be a special arrangement and help will be available nearer the time. In the case of those at the northern and central part of the village, if you don’t have high speed and you want it, it is available, contact your ISP now. In the case of the southern part you will have to wait until the end of October and then you will have to apply to your ISP, remember that a fibre installation will involve Openreach having to put in additional equipment to your premises. If you have any questions or want to make any points please contact your Parish Council. Further updates will be provided as the Parish Council gets them. �2017 July 19th SUMMER COIN AUCTION August 16th SUMMER SOCIAL EVENING with Food, Trading session, Raffle, Chat etc September 20th “BARBAROUS RADIATES COINAGE” Nick Aves October 18th AUTUMN COIN AUCTION November 18th ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING followed by a SHORT QUIZ for the M.

At a lunch recently I was asked what my job was. I had the response, “do you actually believe that stuff?” from a new acquaintance across the table. People turn toward me and I searched for a profound and gentle response. It was 9me, yet again, to defend my faith….. That situa9on got me thinking. Are we able to give a defence of why we believe what we believe and are we able to talk confidently, gently and non-confronta9onally to others about our faith? At its core, faith is about three things. Faith is an explana9on. It is our framework for how we make sense of the world. Is our existence meaningless or is there some purpose behind why we are here? Secondly, faith is a confidence that our belief of how the world works has integrity and makes sense. Thirdly, faith is an ac9on. The way we live our lives reflects the explana9on that we hold to be true. As Chris9ans, our explana9on of the world is that there is a loving God who wants us to be in rela9onship with him. Our confidence comes through our experience of God, through the evidence of the beauty and the complexity of crea9on and through the revela9on of Jesus in the Bible and the church. Our lives reflect this explana9on in the way we live; the centrality of worship and prayer in our lives and the way we love and serve others. But what of those who don’t share my Chris9an faith? Well they have faith too. In fact, we all live by faith. We all have an explana9on that we are confident in and which helps us make the daily decisions that guide and make sense of our lives. For example, when someone tells me that they are an atheist, my response could be “Wow – that’s interes9ng! Tell me about your faith”. “But I don’t have faith. I am an atheist”. “Of course you have faith. I look at the world and at my life experience and I conclude that there is a God. You look at the world and at your life experience and you conclude that there is no God”. I cannot prove God to you but I have faith that there is a God. You can’t prove that there is no God but you have faith that there is no God! So share with me how you have come to your conclusion and let me share with you how I have come to mine”. I love to have such conversa9ons. They are always learning 9mes for me. I wonder if, in our desire to be loving and inclusive (and our fear of conflict and confronta9on!), we fail as Chris9ans to engage and inspire others to explore something that is exci9ng and life affirming for us. We need to allow God to use us in helping others think through whether their logic really is as fool proof as they think it is. For example, when someone explains that their faith is in science, or in only what they can see and measure and nothing else, we could ask them if they have ever had any spiritual experiences or whether love ever seems to be more than just a chemical reac9on in the brain? Part of my response to those at lunch was “how can you not believe in Jesus?” - a ques9on which sparked an interes9ng debate! I think it is 9me to be pro-ac9ve! The Revd. Maureen Allchin.

My mum Lottie (also known as Rattie) still lives up the road and we keep in touch, she does like to check up on me. I love going round to visit her as there is usually some of her food hanging around that I can finish up. Well you know what son’s are like. I now live with Jayne and Richard. Life’s not too bad. Richard goes away a lot but I love it when he comes home as I have him wrapped around my little back paw and I have trained him to take lots of treats in his pocket when we go off together to check that all is ok in the village. Of course Jayne does not agree with all this eating on the move and can get quite frustrated when its back to just us two and she discovers me sitting waiting for a treat mid walk or dragging my paws looking quite dejected (I’m good at that look). Back at home I have a ‘not too bad’ lifestyle. We have lots of doggy visitors, this can be fun. However, while I might be small I make sure they known that I’m the one in charge. I also have a very enviable toy box. My best trick is to wait for Jayne to get comfy on the sofa after a hard day and then find my favourite toy and hassle her to throw it for me (she doesn’t always look pleased to do this). Of course human visitors are easy to manipulate as they don’t know I can play for ages. I don’t spend all my time in the village, if I’m lucky I get to go to London. I enjoy a walk on Clapham Common where you meet loads of dogs of various sizes but none as scruffy as me or better still in Northumberland where there are some fabulous beaches where I can chase and catch balls to my hearts content.

Twenty eight of us, including some visitors, had a lovely evening serenely sailing down the canal to Avoncliff from Bradford-on-Avon. It was an overcast day but dry and reasonably warm as we met on the Wharfside at Bradford on Avon meeting up with Susie Quinn who lives just 3 minutes walk away from the wharf. We took a picnic and were able to refresh ourselves from the bar facilities on the boat. We went as far as the aqueduct at Avoncliff and some members decided to walk across this to be able to see the river, road and railway far below and some walked down to see the aqueduct from below. The Avon valley has some wonderful scenery at this point. Conversation flowed throughout the evening and everybody declared it a success. We arrived back at Bradford on Avon at 9.15pm and were home before dark!!. Pam's son Andrew baked cup cakes for everyone and they were much enjoyed by the members and the crew. Next month we are having a visit to a garden in Seend, it will be towards the end of the month as some people are being very inconsiderate and having holidays!!!! If you would like to come and join us please phone Pam or Kate for details. �Poulshot Community Speed Watch NEEDS YOU! We are now a group of 7 but we need more, can you spare two or three hours a month? We would welcome your support! Our aim is to reduce the speed of vehicles through the village to the 30 and 40 mph limits. This is of course a matter of safety first, but it also helps to improve the environment, the noise levels and the survivability of animals. We want to achieve this by persuasion, visibility and education. However the Police are supporting the project fully and can often be seen attending at various sites. They recognise the community feeling around this issue and have agreed to commit more resources to tackle speeding throughout the county over the next year. What’s more it’s fun; with many drivers stopping for a quick chat, come out and try it!

Fares, sadly, have had to be raised in order for us to con9nue this service, as you know, funding has been withdrawn. Call for Prices We thank you for you custom over many years and trust you will find this new service to be of similar benefit and value. Only you, the “rover” will be able to determine whether or not this service can con9nue beyond our three month trial, and for the future more arrivals and departures may well be introduced. �Richardson & Paige INTERIORS Specialist Upholstery www.richardsonandpaige.co.uk Come and visit us at our website or our workshop: Unit 1, Manor House Yard, Poulshot, Devizes SN10 1RY 01380 828228 07974 454747 Traditional, Modern and Bespoke Specialist Upholstery tailored loose covers; new furniture made to order; antiques; modern reupholstery; recovering & repairs; free quotes deliveries Members of the Association of Master Upholsterers & Soft Furnishers �TOWNSEND BARN NURSERY Tel: 01380 828141 | email: office@townsendbarnnursery.co.uk As we approach our final term of the academic year at Townsend Barn Nursery things could not be busier! The children have been learning about bugs and of course have the perfect woodland garden to explore for these in! They have also been learning about the lifecycle of tadpoles and watching their own tadpoles make the slow progression to become frogs, while our four caterpillars cocooned quickly into butterflies and flew away fairly quickly! We still have an ant farm and wormery to care for as well as a hamster, fish, chickens and most recently a tortoise – all in all quite a menagerie! We were very proud to receive a thank you card from the Queen’s lady in waiting last term. The children made the Queen a beautiful birthday card for her 90th birthday and were so excited to receive an acknowledgment. We also had a lovely tea party in the sunshine to celebrate her birthday – of course tiaras and a red, white and blue theme were essential! British Values are an important part of the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum so for us as a nursery to reinforce this in the children’s learning is fantastic. During our ‘Being Healthy’ week we were lucky enough to be donated a lovely box of fruit, salad and vegetables from the local company 5 A Day Box, for which we were very grateful. The children had the opportunity to try a variety of different foods as well as learn about the importance of being healthy themselves. This is good preparation for sports day which is planned for later in the term. Active Trowbridge come once a week, and provide a fantastic PE session, keeping the children fit and healthy! This term also sees us plan to say goodbye to the children who are making the transition to primary school. This year we are working closely with 11 different schools and head teachers and invite them all in to nursery to visit the children in their own environment before they make the huge step to the next stage of their education. We plan to have a graduation party at the end of term and I think this year will be ever more poignant as children who started with us as babies when the nursery first opened will be making this important transition. Sarah Wheeler, Nursery Manager �Poulshot Celebrates!! Over the weekend of the 9th/10th/11th of June, Poulshot came out to celebrate the Queen’s 90th Birthday Fortunately, the weather was on our side.

If you live in or drive through Poulshot you will see a substan9ally increased ac9vity from the Poulshot speedwatch team during Saint Valen9ne’s week. Supported by Wiltshire Police Cars and officers (who have the authority to issue speeding 9ckets) the Poulshot team intend to highlight the risk to public safety of vehicles speeding through our village. There are no air bags for pedestrians. A child hit by a car at travelling at around thirty mph has a fair chance of survival (80%), but even at 35mph (a speed reached by around 5% of vehicles detected speeding through our village) this reduces to more than 50% chance of death. Hit at forty mph a pedestrian will almost certainly not survive. A child hit at 40 mph will be thrown 30 yards by the impact! (h]ps://www.youtube.com/watch? v=zH5OQP6p3Rc) Our target is that in this week no one will be detected speeding and that no speeding 9ckets will need to be issued by the police officers suppor9ng the team. This may at first glance seem an odd measure of success, but the Poulshot Speedwatch Team do not want to catch people speeding, they want them to stay within the speed limit because that is safer for all those living in our village. What can you do to help to help us meet our target? Please keep an eye on your speedometer you drive and travel within the posted speed limit (30mph through the village). If you change down a gear this will help control the speed remember just driAing up to 35mph as you cross the village green will kill most pedestrians when hit. The more that villagers drive through the villages in Wiltshire within the speed limit the more likely that others will follow our example.

For readers who are not aware of the Community Fund Panel, it is made up of eleven resident villagers, including 2 members of the Parish Council. The Panel membership seeks to best represent the demographic balance in the Village. The Panel meets every quarter, unless an applica9on for funding is received earlier at which point the panel will convene at the earliest opportunity. The Panel consider all applica9ons in open forum reques9ng further informa9on if considered necessary. The applica9on is then scored, and voted on, for a proposal to go forward to the Parish Council for considera9on on funding The next mee9ng will take place in the Village Hall on Thursday 11 January 2018.

The secret Santa was a great success as we had Sam's daughter draw the first number and then that person had to draw the next and nominate a recipient, chaos reigned as usual and there was an abundance of different gifts. I received a large candle in a pretty Christmas bowl, Ian had a credit card pocket tool, there was cheese, make your own Spaghetti Bolognese and much more, great fun was had opening them.

When someone comes off the streets and has nothing, this pack will not only speak of care, compassion, respect and generosity, it will offer prac9cal help too. This pack will contain everything a person needs from the ma]ress through to the mug. And once that person is able to move on to live an independent life, they will be able to take the Benefice’s generosity with them, as the pack is theirs to keep. The Benefice is undertaking a series of events during Lent and hopes to raise enough money to take eight Veterans off the streets so they can live transformed lives. Revd Catherine Blundell, Team Rector urges both the churches and the community to support the Lent project: “In 2018, the na.on will commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the end of the First World War. We will be remembering the bravery of those who fought, lived and died in that and succeeding conflicts, while con.nuing to honour the men and women who serve and have been affected by war both at home and overseas. Our Benefice has chosen ‘Sacrifice’ as our Lenten theme and our giving will go towards funding Alabaré’s imagina.ve Veteran’s Welcome Pack project.” Not only can financial dona9ons be made but Alabaré and Our Wilton are interested in hearing from anyone who would to like to volunteer or befriend a home, as well as suppor9ng this vital work through prayer. Each year, Alabaré provide accommoda9on and support to thousands of vulnerable and marginalised members of the community including those with learning disabili9es, provisions for young mothers as well as other young people who are either homeless or facing the possibility of being so. Alabaré is keen to hear from any church or Benefice interested in crea9ng their own Lent Welcome Pack to help the most vulnerable.

There were many wonderful stories of goodness and love, but also many stories of pain and suffering. It was a sad and difficult year for so many people throughout the world. Maybe it was a sad and difficult year for you too? As one year ends we recall its joys and its tragedies and as another year unfolds we look into the great unknown. It is sometimes easy to allow ourselves to imagine that darkness and chaos rules. But this is not true. At Christmas, we celebrate Jesus, God himself, coming into our dark and wounded world. We remind ourselves that he is the “light of the world” – singing in those familiar Christmas carols – “God of God, light of light”, “Light and life to all he brings”, “Yet in the dark street shineth the everlasting Light; the hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight”. Christmas proclaims that Jesus is in the world. However dark the darkness seems God is here with us – offering us peace and joy and hope. The Old Testament prophet Isaiah proclaimed this to his people nearly 3000 years ago. They needed hope and encouragement too. “The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the shadow of death a light has dawned. For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace”. Familiar words to so many of us. But what of the experience? Jesus wants to be our counsellor, our God, our peace, the light in our darkness TODAY! I always find the words of Minnie Louise Haskins challenging and comforting, especially at new year and especially this new year as I face into my retirement from ordained ministry after 24 years - “I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year, ‘Give me a light that I might tread safely into the unknown’. And he replied, ‘Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the hand of God. That shall be to you better than light and safer than a known way. So, I went forth, and finding the hand of God, trod gladly into the night. And he led me toward the hills and the breaking of day in the lone East. So, heart, be still!’.” I pray that you may you know the light of Jesus in your life throughout this new year and always The Revd. Maureen Allchin.

This year the children made a wreath out of cupcake cases and visited St Peters Church to pay their respects. As the Christmas activities took over do did the glitter! The children created some beautiful artwork to share with their families, and had three different Christmas parties. We ended the term by performing our Nursery Nativity play in St Peters Church. We thank Rev Maureen, Pam our organist and the Church Wardens for giving up their time to enable us to do this each year. We are very lucky that the children can learn about the importance of Christmas in such special surroundings. Term 2 for us at Townsend Barn Nursery has been extremely busy! Being in such a rural community means we strive to invite visitors in to nursery to offer the children unique learning opportunities to enhance their learning and development. In November Longleat Safari Park visited us bringing in lots of furry friends and creepy crawlies for us to meet. The Argentinian Tegu proved most popular! As the Butterfly children were learning about buses we were also lucky to have a visit from Barnes Coaches. The children could not believe they could watch television while driving down the road!

I would like to thank all the church family and the wider community of Poulshot for the wonderful “send off” you gave me at my final service on January 1st, 2017 and for the party afterwards. Maybe we should end every service with salmon and Prosecco!!? I was so pleased by the numbers at the service, especially given that it was at 10.00 on New Year’s Day – a day for a lie in if ever there was one!! I was overwhelmed by the generosity of your gifts – for the money and for the flowers. I will use some of the money to buy an acer for the patio and two trees for the garden – as an on-going remembrance of the blessings of the last 19 months as your transitional minister. I will also buy some art materials – so look out for another art exhibition in 2018!! I am also so grateful to Seend BellRingers and friends for ringing a Quarter Peal for my retirement. That was very special. It has been a great privilege and joy to serve you and to get to know you better over the past months. I know that I have made some lasting friendships. I close with this blessing for you all: “The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you. The Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace. The Lord God Almighty, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, guard you, save you, and bring you to that eternal city, where he lives and reigns for ever and ever. Amen.

Page 19 �COMING TO POULSHOT THIS JANUARY The year is 1867 and, aboard the SS Cuba, Charles Dickens set sail for his second tour of America. Despite the signs of his waning health, he has planned the most arduous of schedules. During his journey across the Atlantic, the renowned author becomes plagued with guilt-ridden visions and visitors from the spirit world. Figures from his life – such as his parents, his wife, his companions and his children – appear alongside characters from his stories. These spirits return to guide (and taunt) him. They accompany him on the sea crossing and throughout his readings. Though his health is failing and his mind troubled, his performances are inspiring. But he struggles to contain the creations of his fevered imagination. As reality blurs into fiction, much like Ebenezer Scrooge, the author is compelled to revisit the sins of his past. But this is no tale of redemption. The Ghosts of Charles Dickens portrays two incarnations of the writer struggling against one another – real and fictional versions of himself; the actual man and the man he wishes to survive beyond the grave. After a successful collaboration with Beyond Expectations, writers (Avril Silk and Martin Levinson) and producers (Untold Theatre) team up once more. This production combines ensemble performance and digital projections to explore the final years of Charles Dickens – the characters he created, and the ones that created him. The Ghost Of Mr Dickens will be coming to Poulshot Village Hall on Wednesday 18th January Tickets, £10. Available from your usual Village Hall Committee Members. Malcolm Nixon, Ray Josey, Alan Weber, The Martins, Giles Morgan, Sam Wright-Hurn & Nicole Niemeyer. 01380 828206/827010 or events@mypoulshot.com The Ghost is a presentation by the theatre group who bought us The Tempest earlier this year returning to Poulshot as they loved us so much. �NORTH CORNWALL Fully Equipped Cottage – sleeps 6 – 8 Large Garden and Parking HOLIDAYS & SHORT BREAKS Tel 01380 813092 or 07973 385336 bomileshobbs@btinternet.com www.helemillcottage.co.uk Mobile Hair Dresser Charlotte Ladies, Gents and Children at competitive prices and convenience of being at your home.

In 2016 I will write my diary every day. I will make a note of where I put the Christmas decorations. I will learn a foreign language. I will write long letters to friends instead of sending them brief emails. I will paint more regularly. I will read at least 5 of the books lying unread on my bookshelves and oh, and I will give up making resolutions.! I wonder what resolutions you have made. We all like to make ourselves promises about new beginnings, especially as one year ends and another begins. We all want to have new beginnings, and for things in the past that have been painful or difficult, to come to an end. We want this New Year to be free of some of the problems and suffering we may have experienced in 2015. Clement of Alexandria, a second century Christian writer, said, "The Lord has turned all our sunsets into sunrises". He knew that every end is also a new beginning. What are some examples of this? As the old year ends a new one begins. In nature, the plant dies, but its bulb puts forth new shoots again in the following year. Even human death can be seen as a new beginning as for the Christian death is a gateway into new life. Each human life is also a series of ends and beginnings; of deaths and resurrections. Birth is the end of a secure life in the womb, but it is also the beginning of life in the world. There is death and resurrection for the child who first leaves hold of his parents' hand to go into school – yes, the pain of letting go but a whole new world of new people and new experiences which open up to the child. There are new beginnings at the end of school life as one enters into the adult world and on retirement when one door closes and another opens. Often the endings are painful and the beginnings are frightening. It can take a lot of faith to walk into the future, and even more faith to let the old go. Some of you may be facing new things at the moment; some of you may be facing endings. Thankfully, we have a God who never changes and is always with us, in both the beginnings and in the endings. "Lord, we ask you, as this New Year begins, to turn all our sunsets into sunrises. Amen." The Revd. Maureen Allchin, Rector �Did You Know?

The description of the land and the various characters was very good and if there was any criticism of the book it was that the ending was out of line with the rest of the book. A good choice. Chris has chosen The Curious Incident of the Dog in the night-time which will be discussed on the 14 Jan. New readers always welcome.

Seventeen of us gathered for a most enjoyable and, as usual, chaotic, time!! The Raven put on a delicious meal and our thanks go to Nathalie, Jerry and staff and, of course, Melody who entertained us greatly. The meal was delicious and ranged from Asian Broth to smoked salmon, Turkey and Trimmings to Fish and everything in between. Beautifully cooked and everything was hot which, given they also had all the other tables in the Pun full, was a feat in itself. We had a Secret Santa and all seemed pleased with what they received, me especially as I scored a new diary for next year which saves me from racing round in January trying to find one!!! Thanks to all the Ladies who turned up and made it such a lovely evening. Ladies Club AGM will be at Pam's house, Townsend Cottage, 29 Townsend. Right at the bottom of the Village next door to the Beauty Barn and Nursery. Phone number is 828151. Date is January 19th 2016 at 7.00pm Everyone is very welcome to come and have a drink (alcoholic or soft) and have your say about where you would like the Ladies Club to go from here and also what you would like to do. We really want this wonderful Club to continue but realise we may have to adapt it in some way to cater to changing times and lifestyles. �Kids Corner Competition: A Very Bunny Front Cover Can you design a front cover for the March Poulshot Village News.

I am told that I was born and raised in Cornwall and that I was a bit of handful. I met my current family on a sports field in West Lavington. I’m not sure what they thought they were doing there, they didn’t look at all sporty to me. Anyway this strange bunch (there were five of them) took me home with them to Poulshot where I was met by a small terrier called Holly, who wasn’t very welcoming, and I was a bit nervous but we tolerated one another. The Housbys seemed to like her but I can’t imagine why! The Housbys turned out to be alright, Of course to begin with I had no idea why they were hanging around me and I had never had a long walk so I would go completely nuts and run off whenever possible. Steve would take me for miles to try and wear me out. But they gave me a pretty good life and let me sleep by the Aga, so I decided they might be OK and I decided to behave myself. I think they quite liked me because I was voted catch of the year the following Christmas, beating a future husband into second place. Holly is no longer with us and I now get a lot more attention. Life is much more peaceful for me. I enjoy long walks on Salisbury Plain, I also very much like meeting my many friends in Poulshot whenever I am allowed.

All residents of the parish can make applications for grants from the Community Fund if the project or plan will benefit the Poulshot Community. The Application Form and guidelines is on the village website http://www,poulshot.org.uk or from a Parish councillor or any members of the Community Fund Panel (see below): Applicants should submit completed Application Forms to a panel member at least two weeks before the Panel’s bi-monthly meeting. Panel members will review and discuss applications, deciding whether or not to recommend an application to the Parish Council. Panel meetings are open to the public and applicants are encouraged to attend and provide further detail and answer any questions about their proposal. Research and detailed planning for such projects takes time and effort, so please don’t rush – the Fund is for the longer-term and the money won’t all be spent at once.

Should you wish to borrow it please contact Malcolm Nixon 828355 �I do love the month of February, but maybe that’s because as a child I knew that once Christmas was over February was not far away, and it would soon be my Birthday! Did you make any New Year resolutions and how are they going? I often wonder why, because of an arbitrary bit of counting, that we call the calendar, we choose the coldest, darkest, most difficult days of the year to try to suddenly challenge ourselves to pull our socks up, and fix everything in our lives, in one go! I don’t know about you but at this time of year all I want to do is curl up somewhere warm and dry and keep warm, surrounded by all the things that bring me comfort! Now don’t get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with wanting to make changes in your life, to stop doing things or take up a new challenges. But from my experience and others it doesn't work just like that – scientists have shown that it takes 30 days for a new routine to become a habit, and we need plans to get new actions into habits. The following poem by Adrian Plass describes so well how many of us feel about new year's resolutions. Once I've cleaned this house up properly, I honestly think I'll get somewhere. Once I've pulled out every single piece of furniture and used an abrasive cloth with strong stuff on it, I think I shall come to grips with the rest of my life. Once I've put everything into separate piles, each containing the same sort of thing, if you know what I mean. I think I'll manage. Once I've written a list that includes absolutely everything, I think the whole business will seem very much clearer. Once I've had time to work slowly from one item to another, I'm sure things will change. Once I've eaten sensibly for a week and a half, Once I've sorted out the things that are my fault, Once I've sorted out the things that are NOT my fault, Once I've spent a little more time reading useful books, being with people I like, going to pottery classes, getting out into the air, making bread, drinking less, drinking more, going to the theatre, adopting a third world child, eating free range eggs and writing long letters. Once I've pulled every single piece of furniture right out and cleaned it all properly. Once I've become somebody else, I honestly think I'll get somewhere. How many of us are trying to change who we are because we think that's the problem – or that we're more likely to be loved if we change? Jesus came to a world that was hurting and hating, because He loves it, just as it is. And he loves you, just as you are. He longs to know you and all that you love and hate about yourself. We don't have to change to be loved by Jesus. The world tells us that if we change x, our lives will become perfect. Jesus says that he loves us, even in our imperfections. In the darkest days of the year, Jesus walks with us and as we choose to be in relationship and to walk with him, our lives are changed in the process too. So this month as we begin to see signs of Spring - new buds, new shoots, birds busy in the trees and hedges, the days lengthening, we can look forward to the new season, the great season of Lent, a time in the church year when we join our faith journey with Jesus’ journey to the Cross. May we also find hope in the new life of Spring, and trust that Jesus will guide us through these brightening days, as we approach the drama and sorrow of Holy Week and the joy of Easter Day.

On 30 November 2017, the Reverend Alison Bridewell was licensed and given overall charge of the new Benefice. She, and her husband Stuart and family, are now resident in the new Vicarage in Potterne. At the moment, the old Benefice of Poulshot, Seend and Bulkington is in the process of finding a House For Duty priest who will live in the new Vicarage in Seend and work with Alison. So, it is all change for 2018, but before we head into these changes full time, on behalf of St. Peter's, I must thank the Reverend Jane Knowles for all she has done for us during 2017. Not only has she conducted the usual Sunday services, but also weddings, funerals and baptisms and, of course, the lovely Carol Service. She has contributed monthly articles for the Village Magazine and led the Buzz Group. For myself, Jane has been a good listening ear and source of considered and sound advice. She has been loved by the whole congregation who appreciated her gentle manner and thoughtful approach, with humour where appropriate. She has been a joy to work with and, on behalf of everyone at St.Peter's, I thank her wholeheartedly. Joyce Arnold, Churchwarden. Polite Notice: We are at the end of the Christmas season and rapidly approaching Lent- 14 February, therefore, please remove all Christmas arrangements and decorations from the graves in St. Peter's churchyard. Any that remain after Ash Wednesday will be removed by the Churchwardens or members of the PCC. Thank-you.

The year seems to be moving terribly quickly and Christmas is but a distant memory. However we would like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to Rev Jane Knowles and Mrs Joyce Arnold for allowing us to use Poulshot Church. It means a lot for us to teach the children the importance of Christmas and we are lucky we can do this by holding a traditional Nativity service. Term 3 has been extremely busy and seen us welcome ten new children and their families to Townsend Barn Nursery. The idea of the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum is to take ‘the inside classroom outside’ at every opportunity. With the fantastic natural woodland environment we have we are lucky that we can achieve this throughout the year despite what the weather throws at us! We believe in the quote ‘there is no such thing as bad weather, just inappropriate clothing.’ With this in mind we have continued our weekly PE sessions in the garden and also hold a Noticing Nature morning each week to promote our learning and development adventures. We would like to say an extra special thank you to The Finlay Foundation. They have kindly donated some hi-viz jackets to the children and as t h e days can be a little darker in winter they have arrived at the perfect time. It is also nice for the children to learn about this important charity and the significance of road safety and being seen when near traffic. Sarah Wheeler EYP, Nursery Manager �Poulshot Your Village CLLR TIM JALLAND I have been asked by the Parish Council to set up a working group of individuals and or members of the numerous Poulshot community groups, with a view to suppor9ng the Council in its responsibili9es for the maintenance, sustainment and future of the Village to not only benefit those already here but those that will follow.

Key Messages From Poulshot Parish Council In January the Council asked that residents take care in how distribu9on of green waste is placed (to include the ash from wood burners) regarding the use of the Parish ditch system.

Please be aware that our ditch system is meant for the exact purpose of removal of water from the residence we enjoy. If you or a resident is having a difficult 9me finding a solu9on for green waste, please contact the Council clerk for addi9onal help. In conjunc9on with Wiltshire Council, Cllr Housby has been successful in gaining agreement to carry out some minor road safety improvements in Poulshot: The works are currently agreed to be carried out in May 2018. Any queries please contact poulshotparishcouncil@gmail.com The loca9ons are as follows: The bend outside Lodge Farm. The bend near to Planks Dairies. �Poulshot Friends & Neighbours JANUARY MEETING We were pleased that so many people turned up for the first meeting of 2018 for the Poulshot Friends and Neighbours.

The history of the St. Valen9ne’s Day celebra9ons appears to have its roots in a Roman pagan fer9lity fes9val known as Lupercalia celebrated around the 13-15th of February. The fes9val is said to have involved lots of naked people running through the streets spanking the backsides of young women with leather whips, supposedly to improve their fer9lity! Some think it arose from the deaths of two Chris9an martyrs named Valen9ne during the 2nd and 3rd centuries, and others believe the tale that St. Valen9ne performed forbidden Chris9an weddings for soldiers. In 496, Pope Gelasius I marked February 14th as a day to honour St. Valen9ne's martyrdom, bringing together the Pagan and Chris9an celebra9ons. In the 14th century Geoffrey Chaucer is oAen accredited with being the first author to associate romance and St Valen9ne’s Day in his “The Parliament of birds”. And of course William Shakespeare also helped roman9cise Valen9ne's Day, men9oning it in Ophelia's lament in Hamlet. It was in Georgian Britain that pre-printed cards first began to appear, though these were not yet as popular as they were eventually to become. Perhaps the oldest surviving example dates from 1797: this card, held at York Castle Museum is decorated with flowers and images of Cupid, with a verse printed around the border. It was not un9l the 19thc that mass produced cards came in to produc9on. Thanks in large part to marke9ng campaigns, Valen9ne’s Day has today become a 9me not only for sending cards, but for giving that special giA. And now you know this annual celebra9on of love is anything but modern. What to buy your loved one on Valen4ne’s Day? As a lover of an9ques the giving of a unique giA adds to the romance of Valen9ne’s Day. Buying and collec9ng an9ques can lead to a life 9me obsession, a 9me travel through history to understand its past or simply adorn your beau9ful home. The reason for purchasing an an9que is always as individual as the person buying them. The pleasure they can bring is infinite; whether it be a magnificent piece of Georgian furniture, a stunning art deco tea service or a beau9ful piece of Victorian jewellery. Here are some of my ideas that may bring that extra special touch of romance. �Consider a beau9ful piece of glass, such as a vase for those special roses, or a silver plate cocktail shaker for those margaritas! Perhaps a silver drinks label or a pair of crystal glasses to pour that champagne or prosecco into! Early maps are always affordable and make a great impact. Silver or silver plate picture frames are a fantas9c idea, with the addi9on of your own photograph. Gentlemen can some9mes be tricky to buy for so consider, cufflinks, chessboards, compasses or barometers, these are always found in an9que shops and fairs. But the most important thing to do is always by what you love and appreciate (and of course the best quality money will allow!).

We are in a financially sound position due to a wonderful legacy, from The Estate of Dan Baber of £1000, and a grant from the Poulshot Community Fund of £500. It was lovely to have so many people attend despite the horrible coughs and colds going around. We had a few new members sign up and hope that all of our old friends will also come on board, when they are fit and well, as well as anybody who feels they would like to participate. A vote was held as to whether subs should be charged and was carried, almost unanimously, to carry on with last years amount of £10 per person or, £15 per couple, for the year. The PF&N is open to everyone in the village and we hope that there will be things to interest you. You are welcome to attend on an ad hoc basis at a charge of £4 per meeting if you are not signed up. A lively discussion was held as to what members would like to see happen during the year. We ended up with quite a list and hope to have it mapped out by next month. It includes theatre, activities on the green, talks and demonstrations as well as visits to various places (such as National Trust properties and gardens). If you have any suggestions we will be happy to hear them. We do not have to limit activities to 1 day per month. Our next meeting will be on the 21st of February. We had hoped to have a demonstration and talk by “Tranquil Moments” but unfortunately this has not been possible to arrange so quickly so we will have a beetle drive event instead. This is a fun evening and we hope plenty of you will take the opportunity to come and have some fun. If you have any ques4ons. please contact Pam on 828151 or Kate Hunloke on 828333 Did You Know?

Over the Christmas holiday period we have restructured the nursery to create a lovely smaller space for our younger non-mobile babies, and the new Hedgehog Room with its separate sleeping area has been opened. Set in the old converted dairy farm it cannot help but give the new rooms a homely feel. This term we continue to develop activities and themes around the interests which the children have shown in recent weeks. As well as spontaneous activities upcoming interests are Dinosaurs, Birds, Chinese New Year and Valentine’s Day to name but a few! We like to encourage the children to bring theme related items to nursery to share with their peers at circle time, it is a fantastic way of developing their self-confidence. If anyone has a career or hobby they would like to come and share with the children we would love to hear from you. We always welcome new visitors. The children will be very busy in our woodland garden in the upcoming weeks as we are taking part in the RSPB Big School Bird Watch. We hope to record lots of exciting findings to contribute to the project as we have the perfect rural environment. Sarah Wheeler, Nursery Manager ��The Untold Theatre group returned to Poulshot on the 18th January to present their play - The Ghosts Of Dickens. The energetic theatre group, who really love Poulshot, put on a fantastic show to over 40 people who turned out on a cold Wednesday night. The play even attracted the attention of the Devizes Herald and some visitors from Swindon and Somerset. Just like the Ghost of Christmas Past, the spirits and spectres that tormented the writer were the basis for this play new about the celebrated author. It charted the author’s voyage to America, where he became plagued with visions and visitors from the spirit world. Figures from his life appeared alongside characters from his stories. As reality blurred into fiction, much like Ebenezer Scrooge, the author was compelled to revisit the sins of his past.The production combined ensemble performance and digital projections to explore the final years of Charles Dickens – the characters he created, and the ones that created him. Another well received play from the group who bought us “The Tempest” back in 2016. Lets hope they return! �Thing is, not sure I remember too much … was it rather foolish to tell Elizabeth I’d write up the Burns Night bash for the magazine … there was whisky, wasn’t there (I’m pretty sure the scotch whisky is the one without the ‘e’) and I seem to recall sacrificing myself to knock back a few wee drams for those who (inexplicably) don’t like the stuff. And dancing … men in kilts … aah, it’s all coming back. It started much more respectably, course. As we sipped the odd glass of wine delicately at Book Club, and dipped into a delicious warm artichoke, er, dip, Tor Morgan shared her anxiety that actually there didn’t appear to be that many people coming to Burns Night and what about it? A more private supper was envisaged for those of us there who were already primed to prepare the "neeps" and "tatties" and cranachan and away we went, agreeing to meet the following week at Tor’s to plan a bit more. By the time we got there, of course, the numbers were 40 odd and back it was to proper planning, tartan napkin ties, whisky for the toast, Mandy’s amazing gravy, Karen and Jayne’s cranachan and "neeps" or "tattie" duty for the rest of us. Cont…. �Tor was a woman with a plan, of course, and had it all down from meeting at 12 to set the tables to adding the final candles and pouring the Prosecco for everyone arriving at 7.30 p.m. Lines of tartan along the tables, candles, tartan accessories, a few kilts and lots of catching up all made for a warming buzz at the start of the evening. Sending everyone to the tables and “Flower Of Scotland” playing was the signal for Kate’s ceremonial arrival with the haggis, and the traditional addressing of “The Selkirk Grace” by Iain Greer (a previous Poulshot resident for those who remember him) inviting all who could to join him. With a whisky. Or whiskys. 48 or so plates of haggis, "neeps", "tatties" and legendary gravy followed by 48 or so pots of rather nice cranachan were served and despatched and talked over before it was all cleared rather amazingly quickly so we could all take to the floor. Dance mistress Tor did a fantastic job of organising and calling the dancing as all the young, older, sober, relaxed and some possibly slightly more raucous elements of the community whirled, twirled, crossed, moved down the line and danced through the night. There were some who truly knew what they were doing, some who didn’t but listened and got it and some of us who became hysterically incoherent as we got lost yet again – but hopefully not upsettingly so, as everyone seemed to keep dancing happily. Then, just like all those teenage dances 40 years ago, the lights were on and everyone was mucking in to tidy up, wash up, fold the tables, stack the chairs, sort the recycling, turn out the lights and head for home. It was a grand night, thank you Tor, for making it happen so wonderfully, and thank you everyone for the getting togetherness. Dancing and talking and maybe even the odd drink makes for a good night, mucking in and doing it all together makes for a good community. Nina.

WELL; we shall see; the book has been read widely in other reading groups. Library copies are now available so any one interested please phone. Contact Jackie on 01380827046 �A View From My Window A belated happy new year everyone. Its amazing how much has happened since Christmas, both in the church and out of it, and what an amazing variety of weather. As I write this we have gone from fog to frost to beau9ful sunshine in one day. How great it is to have some really frosty weather; good for the garden and good for country walks and sitng by the fire aAerwards,…. and Maureen is basking in the sunshine in South Africa! Meanwhile there has been an enormous range of temperature in poli9cs in the world and by the 9me you read this the new American administra9on will be well under way, and we in this country will be that much nearer the ramifica9ons of the Brexit vote. How do we deal with it all? We could hibernate ‘9l the winter is over, or we could have heated conversa9ons with our friends and neighbours or we could throw up our hands in horror, and watch La La Land instead.. Just recently there was a passage read in church of one of St Paul’s le_ers which said “ do not quarrel. Agree amongst yourselves and avoid divisions”. Well that’s easier said than done , whether in Bri9sh poli9cs or world wide . Of course we differ in opinion. I think what Paul was really saying was , don’t squabble. Listen to each other and respect each other’s opinion, and remember the mission to which you were called; ie furthering the gospel’ the good news of Jesus which is that God loves you, all of you. As I write I can almost feel the hackles rising on so many readers heads, so look at it another way. The Chris9an message is one of love for all humanity, and as with a human family, some9mes we fall out , we certainly disagree some9mes ; some9mes people don’t speak for years which is nothing less than a tragedy, but when all’s said and done ,deep down at the heart of it there is love. Whatever my children do I will always love them. Whatever I or my siblings did, I knew that our parents loved us. They may have been angry some9mes , furious even and hurt maybe, but they never stopped loving us. So if we think of the human family as one great family, warts and all, all we can do is go on loving them, praying for them , but first of all praying for peace in our own hearts. Without that we will be blinded by blood red fury , and the straight path ahead will disappear from view. So lets go on praying for peace, listening to each other , and putng forward our own points of view gently and with true respect. That great English mys9c, Julian of Norwich wrote ”All shall be well, and all shall be well and all manner of things shall be well.” I believe that. Jane Knowles .

Our chairman and clerk are meeting with Rowde PC and will assess whether we can together apply pressure to Wiltshire council to act. Their (WC) view at the moment is that accidents at this spot are “within limit” (My phrase).The original purpose of the Rowde hook up is to discuss their proposition to employ and share somebody for general tidying and minor maintenance tasks within our parishes. This is purely research at the moment. Dan Baber left money to various village organisations including £1000 for the PC. The hope being that we would erect a bench in his memory. Now that the cricket club is so successful it was felt that a bench close to the boundary and near the chestnut trees would be useful and fitting. Dan’s Nephew, Adrian Baber is going to organise this. The budget setting proposals were considered and small amendments were made. The village budget is rising and therefore there will be an increase in the precept for 17/18. We have historically managed the parish on a much lower budget than our neighbours but times are changing and budgeting rules are changing. We have a smaller population and a lot more land to manage than most PCs. The overall rise in precept will be about £2 a month for a band D house. Elections will be held in May for a new parish council. Some of the current councillors will stand again and may or may not be successful. This could be your chance to influence how our village is managed. Please contact our clerk, Elizabeth Martin, if you want to stand for election. Even if you don’t want to stand you may know somebody who should be encouraged. Whatever else you do please VOTE. Polite Notice from St. Peter's Now Christmas is over, please will you remove any Christmas wreaths or decorations from the graves at St.Peter's. Any remaining on 12 February will be removed by the PCC. Thank you for your cooperation. Pleasing Donation for Wiltshire Air Ambulance Over the Christmas period, the charity supported by St. Peter's Church was the Wiltshire Air Ambulance. Donations were collected from the Carol Singing round Townsend, the raffle at the Festive Coffee Morning, half the collection at the Carol Service, and the Advent Boxes. Altogether, a very pleasing total of £479 was raised for this excellent cause. Sincere thanks to all who contributed in any way. �EDINGTON ARTS’ FIRST 2017 CONCERT Edington Arts is launching its 2017 programme with their first concert by a string sextet, The Chamber Players of St John, on Saturday March 25th at 7.30pm in Edington Priory Church .

Put Farmers in your break, Take Exploitation Out Fairtrade Fortnight 2017 runs from 27 February until 12 March. The theme this year is ‘It’s time to put Fairtrade in your Break’ Having the perfect cuppa or a snack is an important part of our daily routine, yet millions of farmers who produce the treats we enjoy during our breaks are struggling to make a living. However hard they work to provide the products we depend on, they still aren’t paid what they deserve. In Kenya’s coffee and tea-growing regions one in three people live in poverty, while tea pickers in Malawi earn less than £1.46 a day. This is not enough to provide decent food, education or healthcare for their families or invest in better farming. Devizes Fairtrade Group will be helping to ensure a fair deal for disadvantaged farming communities by encouraging schools, places of work, churches and catering outlets to hold a Fairtrade Break. Whether it’s breakfast time, morning coffee time or afternoon tea time it can become a Fairtrade Break by simply having Fairtrade drinks, cereals, spreads, cakes or biscuits. There will be a Fairtrade Break at St James’ church between the two services on Sunday 12th March. Trinity School will be hosting a tea producer and other local schools will be taking part in workshops about Fairtrade. For more information about the campaign and how to get involved, visit www.fairtrade.org.uk/fortnight or www.devizesfairtrade.org.uk or call 01380 720571 �The Great Poulshot Pickup Poulshot’s Parish Council, Friends and Neighbours, Village Hall Committee and Poulshot Village Trust wish to invite any and all to help keep Poulshot looking picked up on the 4th of March from 10-12:30 as part of the National “Great British Spring Clean”.

Page 27 �What is Rowde Academy like? As Hercules class teacher I believe Rowde Academy is a truly wonderful place and it’s been shaping young minds in the new building for the last ten years, is a place of high quality teaching and learning. It is a place of warmth, friendship and collaborative learning. The entire staff, who all contribute to sculpting successful and respectful pupils ready for modern society, are committed to to helping each individual student to become the best person he or she is capable of being. The modern style of the building is consistent from the outside in. Classrooms are large, with plenty of space for everyone to feel comfortable and stimulated, which is a common theme throughout; likewise the playground and playing field offer children a truly wonderful space in which to play and build relationships and lifelong friendships. Speaking of relationships and making new friends , we have a brand new start to our day! Rather than the children coming into the classroom and taking part in a morning activity displayed on the board; they have been given the freedom to play games. In class three, we often play dominoes, cards or do some mindful colouring, or some like to simply sit and chat. I know RAFT are in the process of ordering some lovely, new games for the school so these mornings are only going to get better and more exciting which is fantastic! Since the change to the morning we have noticed a stronger peer-to-peer relationship, not only this, but it is also allowing the class teachers and teaching assistants to bond with their classes in a completely unique way. I have personally noticed children in my class developing their social and emotional skills in this half hour, as well as making new friends in the process. What’s nice about this is that it gives the teacher time to move around the classroom communicating with children individually, giving them some quality time to talk about anything; their weekend, what they are doing tomorrow after school or alternatively issues and concerns can be discussed too. What’s lovely is that we have even happier children that are keen and excited to come to school and be mindful towards their learning. What’s all this about a time capsule? It’s hard to believe that this new building is a whole ten years old! Older than a large proportion of the children at Rowde! Some staff involved in the transition from the old building to the new are still here today. Ten years ago, children (some of whom are now young adults) put together a time capsule; in it, they put things that were relevant to their time and important to t h e m . We w e l c o m e d b a c k D a v i d B a l l , headteacher of Rowde for eighteen years, and famous England cricketer and ex-Rowde pupil Tom Alsop, to help open this time capsule to see what was inside. In it we found lots of treasures including an old mobile phone, photographs of pupils and staff and some slips of paper that stated what the children wanted to be doing in ten years-time, coincidentally (or maybe a little spookily) Tom had written that he wanted to play cricket for England. Over the coming weeks we will be putting together our own time capsule, which each class will contribute to. Personally, I can’t wait to put things in the time capsule ready for a whole new set of children to open in ten years-time. This could be the start of a wonderful new Rowde tradition. What’s going on in Hercules Class? At the start of the Spring Term we started our new topic; The Shang Dynasty. We’ve spent a long time learning a Chinese legend The Dragon’s Pearl. The children have learnt a new story mapping technique to help remember the story, as they will soon be adapt and change it in order to write their own version of this. Hercules is a lovely environment where the children are happy, safe and have opportunities to learn in different ways. We are all so lucky to be surrounded by such a warm, welcoming and supportive family. Our school theme is being ‘bright’ and we are truly privileged as a school to possess so many children, staff, parents, governors and volunteers that follow and adopt this theme. We would love to continue the wonderful relationship with the wider community of Rowde and build it even further!

Page 5 of 44 �The View from My Window….. …..seems to have been wet, wet, wet. , or is that the name of a pop group? We have a stream that runs through our garden, and so every day I have been anxiously viewing its rise and fall. So far so good. It’s hard to remember that the amount of water is finite. Looking at the weather map has been like looking at a drowning country, more blue than anything else with splashes of yellow, however its always dangerous to write about the weather, for by the 9me you read this we will probably be basking in glorious sunshine, with all the rain forgoeen. It’s amazing how much we do forget aAer the event, par9cularly things to be thankful for, as we just get on with our daily rou9ne. Think of all those people who cry out to Almighty God when they are in extreme distress, maybe on a ship, or on a mountain, and their lives are in danger. It’s common knowledge that most people do cry out, and so I wonder is that a deep seated cry from the heart to their creator, or is it just a natural ins9nct or is that the same thing? Whichever, nearly everyone does just that, and yet, when safety is returned to, I think most people just carry on with their lives. (I would love to be proved wrong by the way, so do let me know). When I take services in church I oAen wonder - where is everyone? We have lovely faithful, enthusias9c, thoughlul members in our congrega9ons, and I think we all take our faith out into the world. But I think surely we all need help, whether church goers or not. Surely we all need 9me to think, and to be inspired and to ponder the big ques9ons in life. Surely we all need the comfort and friendship, fellowship if you like, of other people. I nearly threw a book at the radio the other day, because there was a programme about loneliness and how to handle it (so many people are lonely for one reason or another) and there was not one response about the value of mee9ng people in church. Even if I didn’t believe anything, I think I would s9ll go to church, because it’s so nice to be surrounded by people who are friendly and willing to talk. (Again, if you disagree, let me know!) The people are friendly because they come to church to hear good news , not bad. Maybe that’s the problem; newspapers only sell bad news. I wonder why we don’t seem to be interested in good news. Well I am. And every week I preach about good news - and it really is the best news ever, and the an9dote to loneliness - that Almighty God, who you cried out to in your distress, is there for you to cry out to in your happiness, and the reason we don’t need to be lonely is that God loves us, all of us.

Should you wish to borrow it please contact Malcolm Nixon 828355 �Bus services consultation People are being invited to have their say on a review of subsidised bus services in Wiltshire. The review is being carried out as part of wider plans to help Wiltshire Council save millions of pounds over the next three years. Half of the bus mileage in the county is subsidised with £5.1 million per year from Wiltshire Council as it is not commercially viable otherwise. The rest of the services in Wiltshire are operated on a commercial basis by various operators. The consultation can be found at www.wiltshire.gov.uk/subsidised-bus-servicesconsultation, paper copies can be picked up in council offices, libraries, on buses operating contracted services, or people can call 0300 456 0100 to have one posted to them. It runs from 11 January to 4 April. The review will also consider how community transport might be able to assist with public transport, and will be accompanied by continuing work to identify savings in other areas of the council’s passenger transport spending. Once the consultation ends, a report will go to Wiltshire Council’s cabinet members to make a decision.

He thoroughly enjoyed his mini adventure and this is what he thought he would like to share with you… ACCOMMODATION: Due to the time of year very few campsites were open but we did manage to locate some all year, utterly amazing, beachside campsites. There were plenty of hotels still open and prices were very reasonable, typically 40 euros for a double en suite room. ROAD CONDITIONS: It is fair to say that Albanian road conditions are variable. There are smooth, well surfaced motorways with signs and features but in towns and villages the roads can deteriorate to rough with motorists picking their way around potholes. On many major roads there can be unpredictable and unsigned b u m p s , particularly on motorways where t h e m a i n carriageway and a bridges join; locals know where these bumps are - look ahead and you can often see them around as they take the smoothest, fastest and safest route. highly safety tracks swerve High vehicle ground clearance is beneficial; when walking around Albanian towns and villages it is not uncommon to hear the scrape and graunch of car spoilers and exhausts! There are two types of vehicles in Albania; imported Mercedes cars and the rest. The driving style is probably best described as “enthusiastic” and you can expect tailgating, overtaking on blind corners, oxen and carts, animals/ pedestrians on the road, two wheeled traffic ignoring all road conventions (often coming towards you the wrong way) police checkpoints in the most unexpected locations and four abreast overtakes (we were overtaken by a speeding hearse with a coffin in the back). Watch out for the “Albanian walk”. This is where pedestrians saunter into the road and you are expected to drive around them. You should have no expectation of “English” courtesies, such as priority or consideration from other road users, although drivers are very tolerant of random and unusual manoeuvres, such as three point turns across a busy street. Beeping when overtaking is seen as courteous. �Vehicles are generally in a poor condition; bald tyres and defective lights are the norm. It is of note that no one appears to use seatbelts, as this would probably be an affront to the machismo of the driver and suggest that they weren’t a good driver. Use of mobiles and simultaneously smoking a cigarette whilst driving, appeared compulsory and red traffic lights and double white lines are often ignored and sometimes treated as road decorations. There is no stigma attached to drink driving and our advice is DO NOT DRIVE AT NIGHT due to unpredictable road conditions, such as missing grates or unsigned, often large, random holes that only the local drivers would know about. Allow yourself plenty of time to get around Albania as average speeds can be relatively low. The only traffic congestion we experienced was in the capital, Tirane. This was due to the volume of traffic and the fact that no one was observing the traffic lights, therefore the roads became gridlocked. We found that roadsigns and maps were sometimes less than accurate. Our up to date Garmin camper sat-nav was fantastic. However, the road system is changing rapidly and road signs were sometimes few and far between. Green signs indicated motorways and blue ones “A” roads. Place names often had 2 slightly different spellings eg Durres and Durresi. Albanian driving is “love it or hate it” and we found that there was a delightful, almost ballet like, quality to Albanian driving. It’s fast and aggressive, but everyone seems to know what they are doing. It is of note that many Albanian motorists appear to drive without documents or licences and choose to “sort the problem out” when they are stopped by the traffic police. We were told that 5 euros or 1000 Lek would sort most problems out. It is also of note that there were police check points every 5 or 10 km, or even every 200 metres in towns and villages. The traffic police waved us over only once in 500 km of driving and then waved us on as soon as they saw we were right hand drive and they would have to speak English. Finally, please remember that driver confidence and the size of the vehicle are everything. Be bold, yet defensive and you will thoroughly enjoy the Albanian driving experience. FUEL AVAILABILITY: Fuel is widely available. In fact we have never seen so many fuel stations anywhere in the world. We were told that many of the fuel stations exist purely for money laundering. Therefore, to ensure fresh fuel the advice is to use only the larger well branded petrol stations, such as the amusingly named Kastrati brand. Diesel was around 165 Lek per litre (177 Lek to the £). Note some pumps dispense fuel in Lek, other pumps will calculate the price in euros. All fuel is dispensed via attendants and one attendant tried to overcharge us by 200 Lek, a relative fortune by Albanian standards, as wages are low. Advice; check and double check the price you pay is the price on the pump and, if necessary, show them your exchange rate calculation on a calculator.

We would like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to everyone in the village who supported our Christmas shopping evening at Poulshot Village Hall back in November. Not only was it a hugely successful social event for everyone to get together, it enabled the nursery to raise nearly £400 for a Charity very close to our hearts. Being lucky enough to be located in such a beautiful village we were honoured to be offered the use of St Peters Church in Poulshot again on the 18th December for our Nativity. We feel a traditional Nativity service enables the children to learn about the true meaning of Christmas and this would not have been possible without the help and support from Rev Maureen Allchin, Pam De Belle, Joyce and Brian Arnold and also Brian and Janet James. Thank you all again for making Christmas special for us all. The children have returned from their Christmas break all refreshed and enthusiastic to learn through their play. We have welcomed 9 new families to Townsend Barn Nursery and many more children have made transitions between nursery rooms this term. Luckily we have had few tears and very happy children. No matter what the weather our curriculum ensures the children can learn outdoors if they choose to do so. They are desperately waiting for snow and ice and this will fit in perfectly when we learn about the ever changing seasons. More importantly I anticipate them learning about the importance of keeping warm after they have been outside in our woodland garden! We are very keen for the children to learn about their wider community in Poulshot and Devizes, so if anyone has any skills they think the children might be interested in please get in contact with us. We do have strict safeguarding policies in place which prevents strangers from entering the nursery, however we would love to hear from anyone who could spare a little time to share a profession/skill on a one off occasion to help little minds grow. Once again we have a very busy few months coming up, and although we do have a waiting list we are happy to show any prospective parents around. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you require any further information about our beautiful nursery.

Not to be mistaken for Peppa Pig (I'm not a girl and I was born before that pig came along). I was born on 16th April 2008 and was the last in my litter to be sold but the luckiest. I was spoilt with cuddles by my breeder and then my family were going to travel to Wales to buy a Patterdale from a litter there, but they went into the vets to find out what they needed to do when they brought a puppy home and saw me advertised on the wall in the vets, just ten minutes up the road. They welcomed me into the Jackson household, where I've stayed as a loyal companion for 7 years! When I first came into my family, people only knew what breed I was in the Lake District, where the Patterdale breed started in a little village. Yap :) I've been there, back to my origins, and posed beside the village sign. But now loads of people know I'm a Patterdale and I love being recognised in the street. I'm always up for a bit of fussing, love, cuddles and fooood! But most of all, over everything, I love Walkies! It's a hard pull, though, when someone shouts that out and there's food around. And Sunday's are the best, I get to play catch when Daddy throws me chunks of raw carrot and cauliflower while he's cooking, and I'll never turn down the leftovers from a roast dinner! I love my family. I like to know where they all are and what they're up to. I hate them going our. Because it's just not fair. I want to be a part of all the fun, and I know where they go, I sniff their legs to check it out. My pet (pardon the pun) hate - baths. I hate standing there being soaped up and scrubbed. and smelling clean, so when they give me a bath I run straight into the garden to get dirty again. I like swimming though, my best friend, Zoë, taught me to swim, and we love going out together, and discovering all sorts of adventures. We are proper buddies. We've grown up together, and she's probably walked a million miles with me. Although I tired running beside her bike once and that didn't work out so well. I'm really lucky with my family. I love them, and they love me. When I was ill once, when I ate something bad, my neighbours, Chris and Phil, they saved me, and I can't tell you how great it was to see Dad when he got to the vets. I was on the table and I looked up and saw him and smiled, and the stupid vets thought I was growling, but why would I growl at Dad when it was so awesome to see him. I'm one lucky dog. And i might be a little too nosey, some might say, so you'll have to forgive me if I get excited and sniff you all over when I meet you, but it's only because I love meeting people and their pets, and I just love watching the world go by through a window too, so wave if you see me looking out of 74 on the green. �Picture Framing Oils, water colours, prints, photographs etc Plain or wash lined mounts Choose from over 50 mouldings Quick service Please ring for appointment Juliet Wilmot The Garden Lodge, Chieoe 01380 850314 Darren Sheppard Traditional, Perfectionist, Painter and Decorator.

AAer successful presenta9ons and open ques9on forums with both the Parish Council and the Poulshot Community Fund Commieee, works will begin to lay a single synthe9c strip on the site of the old wicket running North-South horizontal to the Chestnut trees. t o h uls Po Poulshot Cricket Club already has ten home fixtures confirmed for the 2016 season commencing in May with 20:20 matches scheduled during the Summer evenings and single day matches on Saturdays or Sundays (a full fixture list is in the process of being produced and will be distributed shortly). A mee9ng is being held in the Raven on Weds January 27th @ 8.30pm sharp to formally re-form the club and assign key roles and responsibili9es. This mee9ng is open to all and we would greatly appreciate any support that you may be able to give to any capacity in the future – irrespec9ve of your playing or general knowledge of cricket. The whole purpose of this project is to share the many benefits of cricket across the WHOLE of the community in any capacity that benefits each and every person individually whether that is as an ac9ve member of the club, volunteer for some mowing, scoring or just drinking Pimms on a Summers’ evening! We currently have a playing body of seventeen spanning a mul9tude of age ranges but we need and want more players of all ages and skill levels – so please make yourself known even if you have zero cricke9ng experience. There will be a ‘communal kit bag’ with bats, helmets, pads etc that will be shared on match days – so you won’t even need any equipment! If you have any ques9ons or concerns, please feel free to contact me (Declan.gaule@mfg-group.co.uk / 07779 303849) or a member of the Parish Council who will be delighted to help. Key Ques9ons & Answears Why has it been decided to lay a single synthe9c strip? AAer much considera9on it was felt that a single synthe9c strip would provide a series of immediate and longer terms benefits over that of a tradi9onal grass strip. Namely, the ability to play in 2016 and throughout the year for adults and children, minimal ongoing repair and cost, no need to cordon it off or affect playing of football or other Green based ac9vi9es. I thought synthe9c strips are a very poor alterna9ve? Synthe9c surfaces have developed hugely over the years from the ‘threadbare’ sand covered surfaces that many of us may recall. The the surface chosen is specially approved by the English and Interna9onal Cricket Boards in terms of its realis9c playing aeributes and safety and blends in very naturally with the exis9ng grass and contours. Most if not all cricket clubs now have at least one synthe9c strip within their grounds for both prac9ce and league/cup fixtures. For further informa9on on the contractor conduc9ng the works or on synthe9c cricket strips please log on to: www. How is this being funded? Poulshot Cricket Club has applied and been granted £5000 from the Poulshot Community Fund in addi9on to being granted £5000 from the Landfill Communi9es Fund and a further £5000 is being reviewed by the Wiltshire Area Board and we will learn whether we have been successful on April 17th 2016. These funds will pay for the laying of the strip, the purchase of the necessary machinery and the communal kit required to play. The Club will con9nue to fund raise going forward through a variety means and will be self-funding. �Edwin Giddings, Devizes Delicatessan, Coffee Shop, Light Lunches, Fine Wines and Real Ales. “A hidden gem bursting with goodies” Open Monday–Saturday 9am–5.30pm.

Pre-heat oven 425F (220C) Gas Mark 7 2. Using a small sharp knife, cut the top 2" (5cm) of meat back from the bones. Score the skin. 3. Brush the skin side of the meat with beaten egg. 4. Dip the anchovy fillets in milk for a few minutes to remove some of the saltiness. 5. Drain, pat dry, and finely chop the anchovies. 6. In a bowl, mix the anchovies into the breadcrumbs with the flour, chopped herbs, salt and pepper. 7. Spread the mixture over the outside of the lamb pieces. Leave to stand for half an hour as this helps the crust to set on the meat. 8. Place the pieces of lamb in a roasting tin and place in pre-heated oven. 9. Reduce heat down to 375 F(190 C) Gas Mark 5, and cook for 30-35 minutes (the meat should still be pink in the middle). 10. To make the sauce, place the orange segments, redcurrant jelly and Port in a small saucepan and warm over a gentle heat to melt the jelly. 11. To serve the lamb, remove the chine bone and either place the whole joints on a warm flat serving dish and serve the hot sauce separately, or alternatively carve the lamb into separate chops, lay on a warm flat serving dish and pour the sauce around the meat, garnishing with the orange segments.

Could you help support your local community in reducing speeding? Communitv SPEED WATCH AREA REDUCE YOUR SPEED Matct: Wit.SorJ $2)12>ZJf Sl-2iPJ' You may have noticed small yellow signs on the roads leading in to the village warning motorists that Poulshot is now a Community Speedwatch area. The current Police and Crime Commissioner instigated the Speedwatch system in Wiltshire to reduce what he sees as antisocial behaviour - speeding. Certainly a 'metrocount' last year recorded some vehicles passing through the village at over 70 mph. So there is now a small team of volunteers who form the Poulshot Community Speedwatch. The idea is to contribute to the education element of the 3 'Es' used to reduce speeding Education, Enforcement and Engineering (speed bumps etc). So far about half of the volunteers have been trained to use the speed detection device. (We were told off if we called it a camera or speed gun.) The device uses eye-safe, invisible laser pulses and doppler to measure vehicles' speed to within 1 mph! r1 AI.- \,./,·,_soJ. Co. U.J( In the next few weeks you should see members of the team out recording vehicle speeds and passing the results to Wiltshire Police. In most instances, drivers will get a letter advising them that they were detected speeding; however, those driving at higher speeds may get a visit from their local policeman. Hopefully this will educate people to look for 30 mph zones and keep to the speed limit. The result should be greater safety for all of us who use the roads in the village, either on foot, bicycle or motorbike and in vehicles. The success of the Poulshot Speedwatch will depend on volunteers and more are needed, please see the advert elsewhere in the Village News for details. Oh, and the team hopes that no-one in the village will place them in a similar position to that of a Speedwatch volunteer in another village whose own son was caught by the Police during their Speedwatch training. If you are interested in volunteering with this project please Contact Mike Wilson at: 01380 828100 or mike@mai-wilson.co.uk Poulshot Farming Club The club now meets in the afternoons 2:15pm to 4:15pm rather than the evenings in Poulshot Village Hall.

Wiltshire Council has taken the decision that this provision will be delivered differently in the future, and the statement below explains this. I expect to be in post un9l the end of March, so in the mean9me please feel free to contact me on 07541 353430. I hope to be able to provide more informa9on about future arrangements in the March magazine. Lise Griffiths Wiltshire Council entered into a partnership with Community First in 2010, this partnership comes to an end in April 2016. The decision has been made not to renew this partnership but to work differently and facilitate local wellbeing through the county’s area boards. A Wiltshire Council spokesperson said: “Protec9ng those who feel isolated and lonely is a key priority for us. We asked older people what kind of services they felt should be available within their community and, based on this feedback, we have decided to provide this service in a different way. “Our local area boards sit right at the heart of our communi9es and are ideally placed to provide and coordinate this new way of working. The new approach will build on the success of exis9ng networks and links the area boards have. This will ensure local people connect with the resources and services they need to improve their wellbeing and help them remain independent within their community.” WANTED - Volunteer to check on Defibrillator As you know we have a defibrillator in a cabinet outside The Raven.

During the morning of 2 February 1916, the church was being prepared for the wedding of James Bowden and Mary Underwood. The stove was lit, as usual, by Mrs Pearce who then 9died up the church before going home. Alfred Bowden, the clerk, went to the church in the aAernoon to complete the prepara9ons for the service. On hearing a strange noise, he looked up and saw flames coming from the roof of the nave. He went on his bicycle to Lodge Farm, where there was a telephone, and rang for the Devizes Fire Brigade. When the horse-drawn fire engine arrived, with the assistance of many villagers, water was pumped from the pond at Church Farm. Men climbed on the roof to pour water down between the 9les, but the roof of the nave collapsed. Of course, all the wooden furniture in the nave was destroyed along with the windows and memorial tablets. The lead from the roof melted forming strange shapes where it fell. By the evening the fire had been contained, and the bell tower and the chancel had been saved. Also, the Bible had been saved by Alfred Fielding, Methodist preacher and village baker. Due to the shortage of materials and skilled labour during the First World War, repairs were slow, though the chancel had been made safe by 1917. AAer the fire, the wedding of Alfred Bowden and Mary Underwood took place in the Chapel of Ease (now the Old Rectory Hall). The villagers used this chapel for services for 10 years before returning to St. Peter’s in 1926. To commemorate the fire, a special service will be held in St.Peter’s on Sunday 7 February at 11.00 am which will be followed by a thanksgiving lunch in the Old Rectory Hall. All are welcome, and details are contained elsewhere in the Village News.

The guild is actually 51 years old and has a history of exhibitions. courses, talks and the sharing of member’s skills and knowledge. Guild activities were held monthly in halls and many of us were a part of the Frome Weaving Workshop. In 2009 part of the School at Steeple Ashton became vacant, so as a committee we decided to take on the lease. There are two port-acabins,now permanent weaving studios, two large meeting rooms ,and store rooms above the village Community Shop. An enormous amount of member and husband labour was required; plus the procurement of grants, to turn the premises into a very active base for many textile related activities with access available with a stair lift and disabled ramp. The two cabins house a permanent base for both table and larger floor looms and we hold regular beginner’s courses. The weaving studio is open every Tuesday and Thursday for members to work together with support shared. Surrounding the cabins a dye garden has been developed and equipment is available for natural dyeing. We still have a monthly guild day which includes visiting speakers, demonstrations and workshops.

The plant is highly invasive and out – competes the na9ve plants on the margins of, and in the shallow standing water on the east side of the pond. A generous grant of £997 was awarded by the Melksham Area Board, to enable us to undertake this Project and prevent further spread of the plant. Manual control method was used to clear the vegeta9on and pull out the invasive plant out of the pond, by hand and with a rake. Disposal of the plant was carried out by Hill Waste Solu9ons, licensed to deal with invasive plant species. An annual control ac9on plan will be developed and implemented. We are grateful to the ten volunteers from the Village Trust and the local community, for their help, support and dedica9on with all aspects of the restora9on work. It would not have been possible to undertake the work without their unflagging contribu9on. The working party was successfully led by Ray Josey, which was enjoyable and great fun working together. A special thank you to Alan Webber for providing us with a much welcomed coffee and biscuits and Pam Gillies for the hot and tasty soups and bread rolls – much appreciated. We achieved all our goals and much more. The Project will provide social benefits to the local community and visitors, improve biodiversity and enhance the enjoyment of the whole environment.

After the completion of his training and a spell at sea, he joined an insurance surveyor and inspector of electrical installations in large commercial buildings. Ken and his wife Marion moved to Poulshot and lived in the bungalow to the North of the Raven for 53 years. The couple happily raised two daughters Jenny and Lisa. Ken was a good all round sportsman, playing Cricket for Poulshot and Table Tennis in the Village team for thirty years where he became one of the best players in the Devizes League. On his retirement from energetic sport he took to bowls and it is understood from his colleagues he also excelled at this. Poulshot sends condolences to Marion his wife and their daughters Jenny and Lisa. "Oldest barmaid in Wiltshire” set to ridicule herself once again You may remember last year I ran somewhat slowly 3k around the streets of Devizes, with the huge generosity of friends, relatives, customers, colleagues and Nathalie and Jerry at The Raven I managed in a couple of weeks to raise the fantastic sum of £1000. So I thought I would give it another go this year and increase the distance to 5k and increase the fundraising to commence from November. So my pot will be standing on the bar once again this Christmas for anyone wishing to donate.A donation will be required for any of you wishing to use The Raven taxi over the festive period (or possibly brave enough) Let’s see if we could get somewhere near last year's fantastic total. Hope you all have a fantastic Christmas and a very healthy and happy New Year. xx Page 5 �Doggy Dilemmas Puppy/Dog Training classes One to Ones Dog Walking Dog Boarding Contact Debs on 01380 730564 or 07966 617617 email:debsmackay@hotmail.com www.doggy-dilemmas.co.uk Trevor Hale NPTC Certified (arb) Fully Insured Tree Surgery Covering All Aspects including Chipping Stump Grinding & Hedging 07737934777 www.wiltshiretreesurgery.co.uk Professional Reliable Service �Key Messages From Poulshot Parish Council’s Mee4ng on November 9th The council asks that care is taken not to allow grass clippings or other waste to be deposited in the ditches around the village as this may cause water flow issues, and subsequently, flooding.

He has been through everything , born, grew up, ministered to so many , died was buried , rose again , appeared to so many, and eventually aAer all that we finally celebrate him as the heavenly King. Alleluia, and then on Advent Sunday , 3rd December it all starts again; the beginning of the Chris9an year. One of the wonderful things about the Chris9an year is that there are so many fes9vals to mark and to celebrate. Its not just about Christmas , or indeed Easter ; there are all those other fes9vals . Advent Sunday is one of the very special ones and is marked par9cularly in cathedrals up and down the land. If you have never been , put it on your to do list , to go to one of the Advent carols services in Salisbury Cathedral. It is absolutely spectacular. It starts with the cathedral in total darkness and silence and then just one candle is lit and everyone is aware ; and gradually the cathedral is bathed in candlelight with fabulous music throughout it all, un9l the whole cathedral is full of light and sound and glory. That’s what Advent is about, watching and wai9ng , with growing an9cipa9on, un9l one day, 25th December, Christmas comes. The children know about the an9cipa9on, and whilst they make enormous lists for toys that they want, they have within them the understanding of the mystery and wonder and of course love that goes with it all. They share the joy and excitement of their school ac9vi9es ; of their na9vity plays and carol services and Chris9ngle services , and anyone who has been to a Chris9ngle service will know what I mean. The light reflected in the children’s eyes is never to be forgolen. These services are there for everyone . I do hope you manage to alend at least one. There may be some of you who find the Christmas season difficult; maybe you feel lonely, or maybe this will be the first Christmas without a loved one , and so what I say is this. Jesus was born as a lille baby, and that is a cause of great joy for everyone, but his promise is to be with us in our hour of need; to walk alongside us when things get tough ; to be there with us when all the rest of the world seems so far away. If you can, come along to church and feel the love that is there for you , and hear the Christmas message that the shepherds experienced, the angels sang about and the wise men travelled so far to find, and that message is that the one Almighty God sent his lille baby son to be with us to show us the way and to show us that we are all included and to show us that we are all loved . I hope you all have a very happy Christmas. Jane Knowles Our new Rector, the Revd. Alison Bridewell will be leading the Chris9ngle service on 7th December in Seend, at 6pm and she will also be taking the benefice Eucharist on 31st December .

There was good coffee accompanied by lovely homemade cakes, scones and mince pies, and items to buy from The India Shop stall, the book stall and the cake stall. In addition, and most importantly, people contributed generously to the Charity Raffle which raised a very pleasing £130. This was in aid of Wiltshire Sight which is based at St.Lucy's Sight Centre in Devizes. Wiltshire Sight provide support for partially sighted people of all ages, of whom there are over 23,000 in Wiltshire, so it is a most worthy cause. When the money was delivered to St. Lucy's, they were delighted, and wish to pass on their thanks to all who donated. St. Peter's thank all who attended, all who made cakes, etc. and, especially, Kate and Nicky Hunloke for hosting the event in their welcoming home. Did You Know?

It has been all year and who knows what next year will bring? For my part I’m glad I don’t know what lies ahead. Yes, there are things planned , for sure, and obviously one of the most important changes will be that Maureen will cease to be our Rector. As you know from the last ediEon of Spotlight , she reEres on January 1st. If I may, I would like to just put on record what a brilliant Rector she has been, and personally inspiraEonal for me as I’m sure she has been for so many others. If anyone wants to know what best pracEce is in rural ministry , just come to Seend, Bulkington and Poulshot. As I said change is in the air; first Brexit, then the American elecEon each of which brings uncertainty, and now, very few sEpendiary clergy in these parts. By the end of 2017 I’m sure we will all have a clearer picture, but for the moment we are not sure what lies ahead, as we go into the season of Advent, Christmas, and then the new year. But there is certainty too. The season of Advent will bring with it the need to clean out our houses , metaphorically and factually; to re-examine ourselves if you like in readiness for all the Christmas fesEviEes. We cannot welcome guests if the house is full of the detritus of the year and the spare room full of cluTer. We cannot welcome the baby Jesus into a house where there is no room for him, because of all the stuff and muddle, and we are too busy. We must make the space. A baby needs space and calmness and care. There is certainty that every morning the sun will rise, whether behind clouds or not, and the moon will wax and wane , and if we take Eme to noEce , the stars will “come out” and we can gaze and gaze and wonder about it all. That’s what those first shepherds did out on the hillside outside Bethlehem; they took Eme to noEce; the lights of the city did not get in the way of the glow of the angels. That’s what the wise men from the east did too; they marvel led at the night sky and with all their mathemaEcal genius they knew that all they had to do was to follow the special star. And for 2000 years, millions of people around the world have been watching and wondering and falling to their knees in amazement at the glories of creaEon and the most precious giY of love. Just think of the last Eme you saw a new born baby. Did you just carry on with what you were doing, or did you bend or kneel before it, and smile; the giY of love, the giY of creaEon, the giY of the son of God. They recognised him then and I hope and pray that we recognise him this Christmas, and that we will be reassured that God will be with us as we enter the uncertainty of the new year. There is a lovely carol which speaks reassuringly to me. I wonder as I wander out under the sky How Jesus the saviour did come for to die For poor ordinary people like you and like I. I wonder as I wander out under the sky. Maybe the answer to all that wondering is that God really loves us, you and me , and he made us of himself because there was nothing else to make us out of, and so may I wish you all a loving and peaceful Christmas.

The talk, given by Frances Benton, who is an English lady living in Burgundy in France was very illuminating. The profits from her sales go to a charity that helps street children in Durban, in South Africa, one of whom she adopted and who is now a lawyer in South Africa. Who knew that the "pearl" was formed, not by grit getting into the shell, but as a defence mechanism against a parasitic worm.We also learned that the cultured pearl industry began in Japan in the late 19th century, but before that only the immense privileged could afford the rare, and hard to find, natural pearls. It is amazing how many colours pearls come in, caused by the colour of the shell and the waters that they grow in. It was also interesting that pearls can be cultured to different shapes dependent on the type of irritant inserted into the oyster. Those of us who attended found it an interesting and entertaining talk, and some were even moved to make a purchase. The next event is on the 13th of December and is our Christmas Meal at The Raven at 7.00pm for 7:30pm.

It was the afternoon of the Nativity play, his first at school. He had wanted to be Joseph, always on stage, helping Mary and holding the baby Jesus. But instead he was the inn-keeper. All he had to do was stand in the doorway and say one line. His moment came. Joseph knocked on the door and, right on cue, Nick it. What do you want? He demanded. We need a bed for the night, Joseph said. Sorry, no room. But we are tired and my wife is about the have a baby. Nick looked at Mary and faltered a bit. The teacher held her breath. Was Nick going to forget his lines? The prompter in the wings whispered. Go away, there is no room here. Nick responded automatically, Go away, there is no room here. The teacher breathed a sigh of relief. Joseph placed his arm around Mary, just as they had practiced it, and Mary laid her head upon his shoulder. The two of them began to slowly and sadly move away. But Nick, who was supposed to close the door behind them, just stood there. His mouth was open and his brow creased with concern as he watched Mary and Joseph walk away. And then his eyes unmistakably fill with tears, and that's when the miracle happened. Don't go, Joseph! Nick called out. Bring Mary back! And then his face filled with a bright smile. He called out, you can have my room! The Nativity play may not have been faithfully presented, but Nick’s response to Mary and Joseph and the Christ child thrilled the audience and thrilled God. I wonder what I would have done if I had been that inn-keeper on the night that God came to earth as a child, vulnerable and longing for us to recognise him and welcome him. Maybe I would have been too busy to notice that the miracle of Christmas was happening in front of my eyes. Life is too busy to take Jesus home. And even if I invited Jesus in, where would I put him? Where do I fit God in amongst the work and the hobbies and the house and the garden and the family and all the things that take up my time and energy? There is no room in my life to take Jesus home. And even if I could find the time and the room, my place would not be good enough for God - not with my doubts and fears, not with my sins and failures. I would have to redecorate and make some changes. And what if I find him an unwelcome guest? What if he talks to me of my loving and my living and whispers to me that there are different ways to be and different priorities to have? What if he asks awkward questions about my relationships and my attitudes and my prejudices? What if he asks me to share my life with him? I am not sure that I am ready for what it might mean if I invite Jesus home. But the baby welcomed into the stable does want to come home with us this Christmas; he doesn’t want to be left in a stable or in church or in our memories. He wants to live with us, to share in all that we are and in all that we do. And whatever the state of our decoration and of our heart he wants to love us and forgive us and help us with the cleaning, the mending and the redecoration of our broken and wounded lives. He wants to spend 2017 and eternity with us. Jesus doesn’t mind that we are not yet quite ready or prepared. I mean, he was happy to be born in a stable and be laid in a manger. It is the invitation and the welcome that matters. It matters to him that the little inn keeper said, there is no room in the inn, but come in. I don’t have much to offer, but I will give you what I have. I pray for you all God’s blessings this Christmas and always.

Despite the signs of his waning health, he has planned the most arduous of schedules. During his journey across the Atlantic, the renowned author becomes plagued with guilt-ridden visions and visitors from the spirit world. Figures from his life – such as his parents, his wife, his companions and his children – appear alongside characters from his stories. These spirits return to guide (and taunt) him. They accompany him on the sea crossing and throughout his readings. Though his health is failing and his mind troubled, his performances are inspiring. But he struggles to contain the creations of his fevered imagination. As reality blurs into fiction, much like Ebenezer Scrooge, the author is compelled to revisit the sins of his past. But this is no tale of redemption. The Ghosts of Charles Dickens portrays two incarnations of the writer struggling against one another – real and fictional versions of himself; the actual man and the man he wishes to survive beyond the grave. After a successful collaboration with Beyond Expectations, writers (Avril Silk and Martin Levinson) and producers (Untold Theatre) team up once more. This production combines ensemble performance and digital projections to explore the final years of Charles Dickens – the characters he created, and the ones that created him. The Ghost Of Mr Dickens will be coming to Poulshot Village Hall on Wednesday 18th January Tickets, £10. Available from your usual Village Hall Committee Members. Malcolm Nixon, Ray Josey, Alan Weber, The Martins, Giles Morgan, Sam Wright-Hurn & Nicole Niemeyer. 01380 828206/827010 or events@mypoulshot.com The Ghost is a presentation by the theatre group who bought us The Tempest earlier this year returning to Poulshot as they loved us so much. �A brief history of Christmas decorations - a guest article from Athena Antiques. The 21st century home for many does not escape the Christmas phenomenon. Adorning them with wreaths, baubles, =nsel and lights. The tradi=on of decora=ng trees goes back centuries, even as far back as the 8Th century – intertwined with old pagan tradi=ons. Trees appeared in private homes as far back as 1521, when Princess Helene de Mecklembourg placed one in her Paris home. This sparked such a popular custom it caused areas of Alsace to almost consume all their pine trees! 17th century Europe, par=cularly Germany, saw the rise of the Christmas decora=ons we are more familiar with today. With glass baubles, candy twists, paper flowers in red and white, gingerbread shapes, wax figures and candles. Tinsel is believed to have originated in Germany as intertwined strips of silver. Britain embraced decorated trees much later during the reign of Queen Victoria, with crochet flowers and stars, paper baskets with sugared almonds and glass baubles and =nsel ordered from Germany. Glass baubles were first produced by German glass maker Hans Greiner in Lauscha. In 1847 he produced glass fruits and nuts, with the inside made to look silvery with mercury or lead and later with silver nitrate and sugar water. By the 1870s they were expor=ng their unique glass decora=ons to other parts of Europe and Britain. Including the round ball shaped glass baubles we are more familiar with today. Electric lights appear to have been patented as early as 1882 but the produc=on of the ar=ficial Christmas tree only began in the 1930s,using such things as feathers and one company using the bristles used to make toilet brushes! The evolu=on of the modern tree and decora=ons is a fascina=ng journey through history and tradi=on. Whether you put a fairy or a star on top of your tree, the hanging of Christmas decora=ons has become a special event for so many children, and adults, at this special =me!

Here I am with a blank sheet of paper wondering what to say to the people of Seend, Bulkington and Poulshot this Christmas. Maybe a gentle exhorta9on to make some 9me for God in the middle of all the hustle and bustle? Maybe an invita9on to come to the wonderful Christmas services that our churches will be holding? Or maybe an encouragement to sing “Happy birthday, dear Jesus, happy birthday to you!” to Jesus on Christmas Day so that he is remembered on his special day? I don’t know………….. O yes I do! I shall ask you to reflect on what impressions our children will have about Christmas at the end of Christmas Day this year. As 9redness hits at the end of the day what will they have absorbed about the occasion that celebrates one of the most important events in Chris9an history, the birth of Jesus Christ into the poverty, pain and woundedness of the world? Will they know a likle more about what Christmas and life means when all the presents have been opened? Will they know something of the peace, forgiveness and joy that Jesus came into the world to give, when the excesses of food and drink have worn off and their pent up excitement spills over into tears and arguments? Will they have been helped to think, and maybe say a prayer, for those whose Christmas Day was ruined by homelessness or poverty, warfare or violence? And will they have learned to give something to others who have less than they have? I wonder if they will have learned how to feel thankful and to say thank you and will they know that being loved is more than just about being given things? What will our children have learned? What will we have learned? You may be surprised to know that I think that Jesus loves the razzmatazz of Christmas, the baubles and the decora9ons, the enjoyment and the fun. He rejoices to see happiness shining from our eyes and to hear laughter from our lips. He is glad that he has given us Christmas and a reason to celebrate. And in the midst of it he whispers his love to us and says, “Please try and make 9me for me this Christmas. Give me 9me so that I can tell you of the love, forgiveness, peace, salva9on and hope that I can give you that will last long beyond Christmas day. And if you can’t make 9me this Christmas, I will come again in 2016, 2017, 2018 and throughout history, telling you again and again how much I love you”. The Revd. Maureen Allchin, the Revd.

Thanks to the generosity of Nicky and Kate Hunloke we used The Old Rectory as the venue, and it provided an ideal setting. The event was well attended, and the spacious and comfortable surroundings made for a pleasant and relaxed occasion. Not only did the guests enjoy their coffee, mince pies and biscuits, they also found much interest in the home made cake stall, the large selection of books at very low prices, and the most attractive gift stall provided by The India Shop. So, although there was a bitterly cold wind outside, it was lovely to be inside in warm surroundings looking out across the garden to bright blue skies and beautiful sunshine. All in all then, it was a most enjoyable and successful morning, so many thanks to all who attended, to the generous donors of cakes and scones, and especially to Nicky and Kate for allowing us to share their home for the morning.

Close the door of hate and open the door of love all over the world. Let kindness come with every gift and good desires with every greeting. Deliver us from evil by the blessing which Christ brings, and teach us to be merry with clear hearts. On this day when we celebrate Christmas with a fine meal and with good friends, may we always know your love and your presence and may we be generous and giving to those who will be hungry and sad this Christmas. We ask this for Jesus' sake. Amen. Bonfire Night Friday the 6th of November, the Green gardens welcomed another successful bonfire night. The drizzle didn't put off the hardy and a healthy crowd enjoyed the evening. Having raised £230 last year, the wrapped up audience were treated to a few more bangs and flashes than the previous year. There was the yearly tradition of cider, mulled wine, cupcakes and hot dogs. The fire pit gave off a fabulous glow and heat, to which a small crowd took advantage of and stayed in the Green garden until after 10, drinking and chatting. A very sociable evening. Like previous years all profits and donations go towards next years event. Thank you to all those that supported this evening, a magnificent £255 was raised. Thank you also to all the helpers that evening and also 'Roses' the ironmongers in Devizes, who always give Tim a very good deal on fireworks. Look out for next years bonfire night as it will be bigger and better. �Poulshot Readers Everyone that read the The Narrow Road To The Deep North enjoyed it even though its structure took a bit of time to adjust to.

Having lost Meg and Chalky our beloved dogs the previous year Christina suggested we take a trip to the RSPCA at Claverton down. After spending considerable time looking through the pages of the various breeds wanting a new home we couldn't find one we thought would be suitable for us. We were approached by a member of staff who had seen our dilemma and was determined we shouldn't escape without making a decision. She directed us to a building with a stable door which housed a Jack Russell that had been brought in that day. He was jumping and looking over the door and was about 18 months old We were encouraged to make a further visit and exercise him, she felt sure he would be suitable and after several visits we felt the same At the home he had been named Buck but didn't respond to that on any of the walks, we tried calling him various names but with no reaction. Noticing that he had a big patch on his side and prompted by the fact I have just read the book about Harry Patch, the last fighting Tommy, the last survivor of the First World War I shouted “Patch” and he came immediately, every time.So we renamed him Patch had been taken in as a stray at a dog pound in Swansea and was not claimed. Initially he appeared friendly, calm and quite subdued and we couldn't believe our luck. However in the following few weeks the leopard changed his spots and he became more vocal and took every opportunity to escape through the front door or the cat-flap on many occasions spending several hours down local foxholes. You could hear him barking underground. Despite shouting words of encouragement and occasional abuse, he totally ignored us. After waiting what seemed like hours we would give up and go home, only for him to arrive later plastered from head to toe in mud. Too cold to house down under the outside tap he was afforded the luxury of a hot soapy bath where he lay back and enjoyed being pampered. On the plus side he loves people, including children but is unpredictable with other dogs. However Shambles became his only true friend who he liked to meet up with. Despite all his faults, he is after all a terrier, we love him to bits. �Edwin Giddings, Devizes Delicatessan, Coffee Shop, Light Lunches, Fine Wines and Real Ales. “A hidden gem bursting with goodies” Open Monday–Saturday 9am–5.30pm.

The Raven Inn, 01380 828 271 www.raveninnpoulshot.co.uk �TOWNSEND BARN Nursery POULSHOT DEVIZES This term has to be our busiest ever at Townsend Barn Nursery! We are very proud that during our Harvest Festival celebrations the children were able to collect and donate an impressive 36kg of food to The Devizes Food Bank. We were very fortunate that St Peters Church warden Joyce Arnold was able to give up some of valuable time and welcome our Barn Owl children to the church. It helped embed their learning about the importance of helping others less fortunate than themselves. During this term we have also celebrated Remembrance Day, again learning about why we wear poppies and remember others. We feel it is essential that children learn about such an important event and as Manager I am very proud when I can observe children aged between 3 months and 4 years take part in a two minutes silence. As well as having a fun day raising money for Children in Need 2015 by dressing up and holding a cake sale, we also had a visit from Longleat Safari Park. Fortunately for us they did not bring the requested lions, but did bring an armadillo, bearded red dragon, tortoises, guinea pigs……and the dreaded tarantulas and snakes. It still amazes me how the children have no fear, just strong exploratory impulses – it is a joy to watch! We have taken part in National Nursery Rhyme Week and had great fun learning about the changing seasons of winter while playing in our woodland garden. In addition to this each room in the nursery will continue to be led by the children’s chosen themes and interests. In the run up to Christmas we will be doing lots of exciting crafts and creations which will be a nice surprise for our parents and carers to take home later in the term. As always we like to keep with tradition and celebrate a very traditional Christmas Nativity, which the children are about to commence rehearsing. We know we are very privileged at having the opportunity to perform this in St Peters Church with our good friend Revd Maureen’s support and we cannot thank everyone enough who enables this to happen. To us we know it is important to not just teach the children about the actual performance, but about the meaning of Christmas. I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a Merry Christmas from us all at Townsend Barn Nursery and wish you a very Happy and Healthy New Year.

Smith Plant Ltd. Waste Carriers No. CBD4142585 �Welcome message from Rev. Alison Bridewell Hello my name is Ali Bridewell and I am pleased to be coming to serve you as the new priest-in-charge of the newly formed Wellsprings Benefice and the churches of Po?erne, Worton & Marston, Bulkington, Seend and Poulshot. My husband Stu and I are really excited to be called to join you at this exciHng Hme in the life of all your communiHes. I once heard a theologian say “a church is not defined by its edges but by its centre. It is like a farm with no fence where all are welcome”. I pray that our churches will conHnue to be places like this, where people will be welcomed to come, share, and eat with us. Where we will rejoice with those who come, and seek to understand, to walk alongside and ask what we can do for those who are not yet familiar with the one whom we love and serve. I pray that we will be faithful and really listen, so that we can hear the things that God is concerned about within our communiHes. I was asked recently what is my favourite bible text; what is the one you would always want to take with you? My answer would be the one that talks about loving God and loving your neighbour (Mark 12:30-31). I think these are the most important things we need to do to fulfil our calling to the Kingdom of God. So we are really looking forward to exploring what God is doing amongst you as vibrant, caring and outward looking communiHes at the heart of the villages you serve. As I write this it looks like we will be moving someHme in October and my Licensing will take place in November (date to be confirmed). As a family we are familiar with the beauHful country villages of the Wellsprings benefice, and are looking forward to being immersed within your rural communiHes and to share in the life of all the villages. Stu does have a previous link to Po?erne, Devizes and the surrounding villages. His Grandfather built and installed the organ lo[ in St. Mary’s in 1937. His other set of Grandparents owned the local shop and bakery in Po?erne. It will feel like a bit of a homecoming for him. I’m looking forward to meeHng you all and to listening and discerning the exciHng plans that God has for us as we develop our ministry within the benefice together. If you see me out and about do come and say hello and introduce yourself. I will probably be walking my Golden retriever dog called Gracie, she is very friendly and loves meeHng people too! A li?le bit more about me and my family..I am currently working for three churches in Salisbury within the Bemerton Parish. We are very blessed to have three extraordinary daughters (Emily, Beth and Hannah), two wonderful son-in laws (Dave and Ben), and two amazing li?le grandchildren (Freddie and Jemimah). Prior to serving my curacy and ordinaHon training, I had a career with the MoD and worked in a variety of roles. I worked in scienHfic research, before moving into business development and markeHng, human resources, educaHon outreach and learning and development. When I am not working I love to cook and spend Hme with family and friends. I like to walk and cycle in beauHful countryside. I like camping, body boarding, table tennis, musical theatre, canoeing and standing under wonderful waterfalls. I love to read and set up a book group a few years ago, which is sHll running. I parHcularly love to read books about spirituality, scripture, culture, mental health, theology and community. . Rev.

We were very lucky with the weather following the fantastic thunderstorms of the early hours. It was lovely and warm, although overcast. The gardens were very peaceful and extended to eight acres, much of which we walked. There was a lovely walled garden, full of bee friendly flowers and lots of fruit trees. A millstream ran through the grounds with lots of bridges to cross, a Japanese garden with a tea house provided a scenic backdrop. There are only 2 full time gardeners! The house, which we were not able to go into, dates from 1542 with a later Victorian addition in the same style. After our stroll around the garden we retired to the cafe for cream teas. After lots of chatter we decided to head for home and some of us stopped in the garden centre to purchase some lovely plants. Next month (August) is a slow month due to school holidays. We may have a picnic in the Green Gardens and an email will be sent round with more details. If anybody is interested could they please let me know (828151). This would be an afternoon/ evening event but we would need to have some indication of interest. We do need your support and I would like to remind everyone that the PF&N is open to everyone in Poulshot and that we also welcome friends and visitors at a small charge. If you have any ques.ons. please contact Pam Gillies on 828151 or Kate Hunloke on 828333 �Treat me, Love me, Fix me Distinctive Upholstery, Bespoke Curtains and Soft Furnishings And here’s why you should use us: Impeccable traditional upholstery of the very highest standard A ten-year guarantee on all our craftsmanship (who else offers that?)

By today’s standards many of the drinking glasses appear very small but reflect the drinking culture of the 2me. Throughout the Georgian period clear glass was very common, but later in the period there was the introduc2on of amethyst and green glass. The manufacturing process of the 2me oHen meant small defects were very common seen as small pieces of black “grit” and air bubbles. Holding a Georgian glass up against natural light will also show both stria2ons and ver2cal tool marks. Every piece should have a broken pon2l scar to the foot, which began to be smoothed later into the 18th century. The designs of Georgian drinking glasses not only reflected the styles of the period, rococo to baroque, but the tax system too. For example in 1745 England began to tax glass based on weight. This impelled glass manufacturers to lighten their products with the illumina2on of the “folded foot” where the edge was folded to reduce the risk of chipping. With this came the introduc2on of the balustroid and incised twists, which are so synonymous with the Georgian period. The air twist stems are of course the most widely appreciated, making many appearances on television. Their variety and pure beauty make them a fascina2ng area for collec2ng and research, and C1750 bucket bowl with single I for one am always enthralled series twist to come outcross another piece to add to my growing collec2on! C1750 folded foot I think the most commonly collected Georgian glass is the rummer, partly because of their usable size and also the affordable price tag. The word is believed to be Germanic in origin “roemer”. They more oHen have plain stems with oversized bowl and can be found with engravings of historical events or heroes of the day. Rib moulded square feet, "lemon squeezer" shaped feet and large conical feet all feature. When looking at fairs and an2que centres dealers oHen use words to describe the foot stem and bowl and can seem confusing so I have listed some of the more common ones to help with future hun2ng! C1820 English Rummers Conical foot - a foot that rises evenly to the middle in a cone shape Folded foot - where the edge of the foot has been folded back under itself Tear - where a bubble of air has been introduced to a glass and has taken the shape of a tear Decep2ve bowl - a bowl type thickened to the base to hold a decep2vely small amount of liquid Knop – a round or oval, full or flaZened decora2on found anywhere on the stem �Letter’s to The Editor… Ma’am Walking my dog this morning I was struck yet again what a pleasant place Poulshot is to live and how fortunate I am to have access to wonderful spaces from St Peters in Townsend, to the Village Hall and across the Green, with its cricket pitch, to Green Gardens. That misses out the activities and events that occur regularly and from time to time from cricket, vintage rallies, the various reading groups, the Summer Fete, garden parties, musical and theatrical evenings to the Christmas Eve service in St Peters. Absolutely, I must mention the Raven with all it offers from great beer and food to Ska evenings. Oh, and the farm shop, too. As I carried on walking and thinking I realised that there is a band of volunteers that makes all this happen. A number are quite visible, the Parish counsellors, the committees of the Village Trust and the Village Hall, and the Peggies to name a few. But possibly greater are those who quietly contribute much. I know that I don’t know all the contributions, but let me list just a few I have noticed: opening the church daily, mowing around the church and Green Gardens, mowing around the gravestones, preserving the gates into Green Gardens, getting new gates to replace stiles. And I must acknowledge all those who maintain and/or restore their properties sympathetically in keeping with the ‘feel’ of the village, as well as all those who are able to keep their verges tidy, and the landowners who keep the many Rights of Way open. I know the last of these must occasionally feel like a burden, but the whole idea of Rights of Way and Rights of Access is just quintessentially British, and a delight for a dog walker. I know I will have missed mentioning something, someone or some group, so to those missed out my apologies - it is either through my ignorance or poor memory. What matters to me is to thank all the people that make Poulshot what it is, thank you. Yours Name and Address Supplied THANK YOU. We would like to thank everyone who supported The Lackham Vintage Society, Vintage Vehicle Gathering, held on The Village Green at Poulshot on the evening of Wednesday 14th June 2017.

I used to rise to this challenge a lot when I was teaching “A” Level religion and philosophy to oAen scep9cal students and know it be a HUGE subject – but here goes, in 500 words - my “soundbite” defini9on of God. Hang on – in which way shall I define God? Shall I do it in a minimalis9c, non specific way which seeks to define the necessary characteris9cs that God displays? If I do this, I will say that I believe God is an en9ty that is above and beyond the universe and is not subject to the laws of the universe. In addi9on, he (it is anthropologically necessary to use the limited term “he” or “she” as “it” does not work at all!) created the universe and the physical laws that govern it, however that happened - be it over millions of years or through a “Big Bang” etc. (Genesis was never meant to be a scien9fic text-book but a story for people seeking to understand their world). God exists eternally and infinitely, which is why he has no cause for his existence and no beginning or end. If we ask “who created God” then whoever created God must be God and so on…. Over the centuries, there have been many aeempts by philosophers to prove the existence of God, and a canon of classic arguments has been developed which are con9nually revised and defended afresh. Whether any of these arguments for the existence of God are successful, of course, remains controversial. Maybe “Google” Pascal’s Wager, the Ontological Argument, the Cosmological (the first cause) Argument, the Teleological Argument (the argument from design), the Moral Argument, and the Argument from Religious Experience – all affirming that belief in God can be ra9onal even if it cannot be supported by evidence. Are you s9ll awake??? Or, shall I define God as understood through the prism of the Chris9an faith? If I do this then I believe that God has all of the aforemen9oned characteris9cs, as well as many others. He is omni- benevolent (all-loving), omniscient (all-knowing), immutable (unchanging), interested in human beings and involved in human life. He is also omnipotent (all-powerful), is perfectly just, and is the basis for all morality. In fact, he created a moral code, which is imbedded within all humans. Maybe my next “Ramblings” should be on how I believe in a loving, all powerful God when there is so much suffering and evil in the world? Oh no! I hear you shout!! So did these defini9ons (in the scores of books I have read and the discussions I have had) lead me to believe in God? Not really! I looked at the life and teaching of Jesus and decided that he makes more sense of the world and of my life than anything else or anyone else I have encountered. As I wrote last month, I can’t prove the existence of God. But I know that the enrichment, fulfilment (including intellectual) and wholeness I have found in my life through my developing faith in God (and its inevitable ups and downs) has become integral to who I am.

In December 1938 it was announced in the House of Commons that in the event of war, a National Register would be taken that listed the personal details of every civilian in Great Britain and Northern Ireland. This Register was to be a critical tool in coordinating the war effort at home. It would be used to issue identity cards, organise rationing and more. On September 1st, 1939 Germany invaded Poland, putting the wheels in motion for Britain to declare war on the 3rd. On September 5th, the National Registration Act received royal assent and Registrar General Sir Sylvanus Vivian announced that National Registration Day would be September 29th. I have copies of that Register for Poulshot. I’ve got both photocopies of the originals and also I’ve transcribed the whole thing onto an Excel spreadsheet to make it easier to study. The Register shows everybody who was in the village on that day, but anybody likely to be still alive today is blanked out for data protection reasons. Here’s a clip to give you some idea what it looks like: Apart from information about people it’s also interesting to see how the village has changed, for instance I’ve counted 11 different Dairy Farms in Poulshot in 1939. It’s also interesting to see many of today’s family names and what everyone was doing. If you’d like to find out more I can let you have a copy of the spreadsheet. I can’t, for copyright reasons copy the images to you. Other Censuses The first national census was done in 1841 and every 10 years thereafter. Because I’m interested in the history of the village I’ve managed to obtain copies of the Poulshot census for each of these years up until 1911 – which is the most recent one made public. I’m currently in the process of transcribing each of these censuses onto Excel spreadsheets. The 1921 census will be released in 2022. Unfortunately the 1931 census was lost in an air raid on London and the next one wasn’t taken until 1951. The 1939 Register is therefore an important piece of historical information. If you’d like to find out more or to ask for any copies drop me a note. Tim Coleman 01380 827095 thcoleman@btinternet.com �ONE VOICE COMMUNITY CHOIR Sing with All Your Heart and Feel Alive!

Remembered on the Ypres Menin Gate Francis, a reservist, was the fourth son of Charles and Eliza Swanborough and was called to the colours at the outbreak of hos li es. Prior to leaving, Francis lived at Swanborough Co age in Mill Lane, Poulshot. He arrived in France on 28 August 1914 joining the 1st Ba alion Wiltshire Regiment and was killed on Tuesday 15 June 1915 when the Wiltshires were in assembly trenches on the Menin Road, west of Hooge, Belgium. He is remembered on the Ypres Menin Gate and has no known grave. �Poulshot Friends and Neighbours A very informative and interesting talk was given by Martjin from Wiltshire Wildlife Trust on their work on the Chalkstreams of Wiltshire and Hampshire, and of the Bristol Avon into which the various streams around Poulshot ultimately flow. He explained how the Trust takes care to create or protect habitats for Water Voles, Otters, Water Shrews and Kingfishers and how they manage the rivers to encourage wild Salmon and Trout to spawn and thrive. He showed examples of river bank maintenance, river bed gravel cleaning and even of a redirection of the Hampshire Avon below Upavon. He also touched on the problems of water extraction, farm runoff, housing developments etc. all of which impact the river quality. It was encouraging to hear that in areas where the Trust has carried out restoration projects there has been significant increases in wildlife populations. A lively question and answer session followed Martjin's presentation. Any volunteers, to assist with work of the Trust, will be very welcome. Any information or concerns would also be very helpful. Thanks to Kate and Nicky Hunloke for the use of their hall.

A number of people turned up to help who included members of the Village Trust and volunteers . Despite arriving in the snow it soon stopped but it was very cold. Thanks also to Adrian Baber who could not turn up on the day but who had carried out some pruning earlier. �Dear Friends, As I write our country is recovering from the recent bad weather and snow storm which the media called ‘the pest from the west’! This wreaked havoc across the UK and seemed to bring the nation to a complete standstill. For some it meant staying indoors and attempting to keep warm and safe, while others were making the most of the snow and getting out and enjoying some tobogganing. The headline news of the media at the moment is focused on the city of Salisbury and the use of Chemical agents to attempt to poison a Russian spy! As the story unfolds it seems more like something that we would read in a spy novel or watch in an action movie, rather than something that is taking place on our doorsteps. Just recently when I hear of so many terrible things happening in every day life, and not that far from us, I start to wonder whether the few things we do ourselves make any sense. When people are starving, when wars are raging, when countless people in our own cities have no homes to live in, when people are struggling to put food on the table, our own activities look futile. Such considerations, however, can paralyse and depress us. Here the word ‘call’ becomes important. We are not called to save the world, solve all problems, and help all people. But we each have our own unique call; in our families, in our work, in our communities and in our world. We have to keep asking God to help us see clearly what our call is and to give us the strength to live out that call with trust. Then we will discover that our faithfulness to a small task is the most healing response to the illnesses of our time. By the time you are reading this we will have celebrated Easter. Someone recently asked me “What is Good Friday and why do we call Good Friday “good,” when it is such a dark and bleak event commemorating a day of suffering and death for Jesus?” Good Friday is a crucial day of the year because it celebrates what we believe to be the most momentous weekend in the history of the world. Ever since Jesus died and was raised, Christians have proclaimed the cross and resurrection to be the decisive turning point for all creation. On Good Friday we remember the day Jesus willingly suffered and died by crucifixion as the ultimate sacrifice for us. It is followed by Easter, the glorious celebration of the day he was raised from the dead, heralding his victory over sin and death and pointing ahead to a future resurrection for all who are united to him by faith. The church is here for everyone - of any faith or no faith. Many different groups and activities are run within our communities. We are a group of people working out what it means to follow Jesus and to explore the unique call that each of us has on our lives. Archbishop William Temple famously said that ‘The church is the only institution that exists primarily for the benefit of those who are not yet its members’ So we are here for all the parishes within the ‘Wellsprings’ benefice. If you would like any support or just a chat about something then do contact me or any of the clergy team, lay pastoral assistants or our Church wardens. We can also help with Weddings, Funerals and baptisms for anyone living in the parishes or with a qualifying connection, so just give me a ring.

Smith Plant Ltd. Waste Carriers No. CBD4142585 �A View From My Window March came in like a lion, and at the 9me of wri9ng I sincerely hope it will go out like a lamb. I don’t know where that saying comes from; perhaps there is someone out there who can enlighten me. Looking back over many years it does seem to have been the case, or is this where memory and myth become confused? The oral tradi9on used to be so important and so well understood. Before the 9me when people could read or write they depended on stories being passed down, and of course stained glass windows in churches were put there not just as beau9ful artefacts , but a means whereby people could learn about bible stories. It behoves us all to try to sort out fact from fic9on , and not dismiss the bible because some things don’t stand up, for instance 9me scales in the Old Testament. Its quite interes9ng when thinking about the crea9on story ( and by the way all the great faiths have crea9ons stories which are not that dissimilar) to replace the number of days of crea9on with centuries or millennia and then it all fits; certainly the order of crea9on does. “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and empty ; darkness was over the surface of the deep, and God said let there be light… and there was evening and there was morning –the first day” , and then there’s the second day , and the third day or millennium etc... Whether or not you have a religious faith, these early scriptures are very interes9ng , and its amazing that material that was passed down so long ago, and wri`en down somewhere between one and two thousand years BC, is s9ll read and known and thought about today, and has so much to teach us. I call that, the miracle of the bible. That brings me back to what I was wri9ng about last month; Jesus , being tempted by the devil, or Satan, or evil spirits or whatever you want to call them , and the fact that he overcame the tempta9ons. Whether or not you believe that the devil took Jesus to the top of the temple and tempted him to throw himself down, or to the top of a high mountain and showed him the whole world , those geographical things are not important. What is important is that Jesus the man as well as son of God, was tempted as a man, and in his humanity did not give in to the human tempta9ons of pride greed, and power. Because of that he was able to show us by example how to live, and to show us there is another way; a way in which we can be at peace in this life and the next. He showed us that the nature of the Almighty creator is love, and if we can accept that, then our own lives will be more loving and forgiving. All a bit heavy , you may be thinking for a magazine ar9cle, but it is Lent , and very soon now it will be Easter , the greatest day in the Chris9an year, and why, because Jesus overcame all those tempta9ons , showed us that God loves us so much he was prepared to suffer for us, ( and that includes being betrayed by his friends), and actually died so that we would be forgiven by God. And this is where we separate fact from fic9on again. Jesus did not stay dead. He went on; he appeared to hundreds in bodily form , and then aAer he disappeared from the bodily reality , he goes on being with us today and every day. So have a wonderful Easter. The fast will be over, the thanksgiving will begin, and I do hope you will all celebrate with families and friends. Come to church and see the expression of God the creator in all the wonderful spring flowers , and the music and the singing and the joy of being together. Its much more boring, dare I say lifeless, staying at home.

The ‘Hedgehog’ non-mobile babies now have the opportunity to be separate from our more mobile babies and it has clearly proven to be the right decision for us to make. Too many nurseries are unlucky to have to care for children of all age groups in one room, so we know we are lucky to be able to offer high quality child care in smaller, safer age appropriate areas. We will now have a limited number of places available in our Caterpillar Room for our more mobile babies so if you would like to find out more information please contact us on the above number. We are very proud to announce that a report published by Wiltshire Council shows 76% of our children making the transition to primary school are reaching Good Levels of Development. The national average is 69% and in Wiltshire 71%. We take pride in exceeding the national and county percentage rates and owe this to the outstanding qualified, experienced team of practitioners we have at TBN. Well done everyone! This term the children have been celebrating World Book Day, St Patricks Day, Red Nose Day and of course Mothering Sunday. Even though our curriculum stipulates our learning can take place outside no matter what the weather, it has been so nice to be out in the gardens without coats on so early in the year! As we move towards Easter the children will be visiting St Peter’s Church. We believe it is essential for the children to learn about the importance of Easter and are lucky to be in such a traditional, rural environment where the children can learn, flourish and make memories for life. Sarah Wheeler, Nursery Manager �It is with great delight that I can announce the outcome of our SIAMS inspection, on 24th February. We have been judged as OUTSTANDING in all four categories. This is an absolutely fantastic judgment and rightfully recognises what a truly special place Rowde Cof E Primary Academy is. The inspector commented the following: The biblically inspired vision statement, ‘A bright start for a bright future’, is known by everyone and has a positive impact on behaviour, relationships and attitudes to learning… The commitment to and care for every individual, encapsulated in leaders’ vision, is a powerful demonstration of the living out of Christian love which strives for the best outcomes for everyone. All the staff, children and governors deserve this wonderful outcome. The inspector was very taken by the fact that the children described the school as ‘like a family’ and she commented to us that she has very rarely heard schools using the word ‘love’ as often as we did. We told her that we love coming to work and we love the children and they in turn reciprocated this. Needless to say I ‘love’ this result! What a privilege it is to be the head teacher here.

Our names are Lily (I’m the white one) and Gracie. We are Maltese/Yorkshire Terrier Cross and are nine weeks old. We are settling in well and have mastered all the rooms on the ground floor including finding where Karl, Bramley and Gala live. Bramley likes chasing us but Gala prefers to watch from a distance. We know our names; the command no; where our food is kept; and how to make sure everyone runs around after us. Sampling different foods has been good. At the moment we have tried and like chicken, egg and cheese. Tonight we are trying fish. We have been provided with loads of toys to play with but the one we like best is a red ball (which talks when rolled) it was a bird toy that Mum had kept from when she had Kakarikis. However, we keep ourselves amused by playfighting , getting told off when we make one another squeal! We are not able to go out for a walk yet until after our 2nd injection, in any case the foul weather has stopped us from even getting out in the garden. We will be very pleased to meet everyone as soon as we can.

The menu had choices to satisfy all tastes and some members succumbed to desserts! We were very pleased to have our oldest (Shirley) and youngest (William) members and Sula our first canine member. There was lots of chatter and the food was really good. The staff made us very welcome and were very attentive.The weather was perfect but a little too chilly for outside eating, it was nice to see the barges going past the window in the sunshine.

As the chairman of the last Parish Council i think you all know me well enough. I am a lifelong Poulshot resident and being on the Council has helped me to help Poulshot grow for the better. During the last 4 years I helped to negotiate the community fund for the village when the Solar Farm was created, negotiating the original offer of £60,000 to be £150,000. I support the development at Higher Green Farm and over the years have helped negotiate the development to be focussed on local people, and for it to help improve Poulshot. This includes the village receiving a new recreational field as part of the development. I support the Cricket Club and all other events that occur on the Green. I hope you consider voting for me �Treat me, Love me, Fix me Distinctive Upholstery, Bespoke Curtains and Soft Furnishings And here’s why you should use us: Impeccable traditional upholstery of the very highest standard A ten-year guarantee on all our craftsmanship (who else offers that?)

Eggs have long been adopted as a symbol of Christ's resurrec9on since the early days of the church, when they were taken from the Pagan rites of spring. In Britain, by the fourth century, people were hard boiling hen and duck eggs and pain9ng them bright colours using vegetable dyes and charcoal, then given as giAs to children. A nota9on in the household accounts of Edward I of England showed an expenditure of eighteen pence for 450 eggs to be gold-leafed and coloured for Easter giAs. The 17th and 18th centuries saw the manufacture of egg-shaped toys, although it was not un9l the early 1800's that the first chocolate Easter eggs appeared in Germany and France and soon spread to the rest of Europe and beyond. These were made with a chocolate paste layers and were painstaking to make! A large and rare carved wooden Easter egg painted with a Russian beauty, inlaid with faceted colored glass, period of Nicholas II. One of the major businesses behind the development of chocolate Easter Eggs in Britain was Cadbury's. Cadbury's was founded almost 200 years ago John Cadbury made his first 'French ea9ng chocolate' in 1842, but it was not un9l 1875 that the first Cadbury Easter eggs were produced, by his sons. Egg as giAs at Easter also con9nued to be made from papier-mâché, wood and 9n, oAen holding sweets and giAs inside. Early 20th century papier-mâché egg to contain sweets. �Of course when we think of an9ques and “eggs” the Russian jeweller Karl Faberge is the name we all conjure with. In its most specific form, the term “Faberge egg” refers to the approximately 50 eggs fabricated by Karl Faberge for the Tsars Alexander III and Nicholas II of Russia between 1885 and 1917. Commissioned annually, the eggs were presented as Easter giAs to Romanov wives and mothers, who delighted at the miniaturised jewels, figurines, and 9mepieces that were carefully hidden inside. To the contemporary eye, the eggs look unbelievably embellished and A few of the famous Faberge Easter eggs. ornate. At the 9me, however, Karl Faberge considered his crea9ons to be understated, elegant counterpoints to the huge gemstones favoured by other jewellers. Poulshot Readers The motley crew of readers met in the Raven on Tuesday 21st to discuss The Greatest Knight and for an informal celebration of Brian’s birthday. Happy Birthday Brian!!. All enjoyed the book or at least to where they had read up to. Thanks for the choice Chris. Giles has chosen Agent Zig Zag by Ben Macintyre and the group will meet to discuss the book or other matters various on 3rd May at 7:30pm in the Raven. �Lent Lunch helps worthwhile charity About 50 people squeezed into the Village Hall on Saturday 18 March to enjoy a simple Lent Lunch and raise funds for a very worthy cause. Those attending donated generously to the cause, and this was supplemented by donations from the winning teams at the St. Patrick's Day Quiz Night. The money was raised for the Christian Aid Appeal to help the hundreds of thousands of people affected by the famine in South Sudan. Most pleasingly, a total of £410 was raised, and thanks must go to everyone who helped in any way. The lunch was organised by St. Peter's Church, and thanks are expressed to those who gave their time and effort. So, thanks to the makers of the delicious soups (Angela, Dot, Janet, Joyce, Kate A. and Kate H.), to Dankay for providing the tasty French bread, to the happy servers in the kitchen, and to Matthew and Brian for being slightly more efficient waiters than Manuel from Fawlty Towers. However, the biggest thanks go to all those who attended, for you contributed hugely to the convivial atmosphere and, by your generous giving, have enabled a pleasing sum to be sent to the Christian Aid Appeal. LADIES READING GROUP The Ladies Reading Group will be meeting again on Tuesday, April 25th at 7.30 p.m. in the village hall.

GOODSAM – An Alert System for Medical Emergencies We have an AED and while you don't have to be trained to use it, there are people in the village who are (and another course being organised). I wanted to draw your attention to the GoodSAM alerting system. GoodSAM is a platform which alerts those with first aid skills in the community to nearby incidents. It works through a Responder and Alerter app on smartphones. The Alerter app has a one touch button which allows any one to call 999 in the usual way. At the same time as the call, the app also alerts the three nearest GoodSAM Responders; asking them to come to scene. There are currently two GoodSAM Responders currently in the village and they might be able to reach you with the AED before the Ambulance Services. The Alerter app also has useful features such as a Life Detector which will allow for the patients heart and respiratory rate to be measured as well as the ability to stream video of the patient to assist Responders as they make their way to the scene. In London, the London Ambulance Service automatically sends an alert to local GoodSAM Responders whenever they receive a suspected cardiac arrest 999 call. The charity behind GoodsamApp is working with South West Ambulance Service to do the same. In the meantime, by using the GoodSAM Alerter app to call 999, we can also harness the skills of our local community to help until the Ambulance arrives. So, if you have a SmartPhone PLEASE download the Alerter app, share and spread the word for www.goodsamapp.org - it has helped save lives in 2017 (see the Evening Standard in January) and could help someone in Poulshot or wherever you are at the time. You don't have to be First Aid trained to use the Alerter app. If you are trained, you can also download and register to be a GoodSAM Responder (you dont need to be trained to use an AED but must have undertaken basic first aid training) and will then be alerted local cardiac incidents to help until the Ambulance arrives PLEASE NOTE - THIS DOES NOT SUBSTITUTE THE WORK OF THE AMBULANCE SERVICE WHO ARE ON THEIR WAY IN THE USUAL WAY! �Picture Framing Oils, water colours, prints, photographs etc Plain or wash lined mounts Choose from over 50 mouldings Quick service Please ring for appointment Juliet Wilmot The Garden Barn, Chi`oe 01380 850314 Darren Sheppard Traditional, Perfectionist, Painter and Decorator.

Did you know that the old English word for Lent is Spring? I don’t know how you think of Lent or whether you took up any of the 9me honoured fasts and depriva9ons in the season that has just finished.; no chocolate, no biscuits, no alcohol even, and so with the end of Lent and the coming of Easter there is much to be celebrated . I have long maintained that it is be_er to take up something during Lent rather than give it up however, when I was associated with schools I used to encourage children to take up being nice to each other or keeping the bedroom 9dy not just on Mothering Sunday but throughout Lent. Who knows ? The habit might s9ck. But there’s so much more to it than that. First of all Spring; the very word gladdens the heart. To be able to go outside and see the once seemingly dead plants poke their first tenta9ve shoots through the warming earth , into the sunlight That gives us all hope; and then the longer days, par9cularly in villages. We no longer have to rush home, put the lights on and keep the world out. We can take 9me in the street or road to have proper conversa9ons with our neighbours instead of rushing past , all bu_oned up; so, Spring, a 9me of great hope and promise and excitement . The Chris9an season of Lent is like that too. Yes we deny ourselves flowers in church , during the season, and our liturgy and our hymns are peniten9al, culmina9ng in extreme sadness as we follow Jesus through his last great journey through Holy Week , through his betrayal by his friends , through his torture and to his death and his being laid in the cold earth. We even empathise with the bleakness of the post death period which so many of us have experienced following the death of a loved one… … but then there is resurrec9on and how amazing is that. “Unless a seed falls to the ground and dies it will just remain a single seed, but if it dies it produces many seeds” and so only then can it come back to life. We know that so well in our gardens .We have proof all around. We have proof too of the necessity of pruning, and nurturing and caring, and in Spring, in Lent we can do all that . Going a into the garden on a spring day breathes life into us; it gives us hope and promise of things to come. It truly gladdens our hearts . Even in our darkest hours if we can go into the garden and plant something, or even plant in a window box , we know there is something to live for and there is new life. Death and resurrec9on ; Life aAer death; Spring. That’s what we see and that’s what Jesus came to teach us and to show us. Have a happy and hopeful Spring. The Revd.

I'm supposed to be black but my owners didn't realize that my father was white so I have turned out a dull grey although the colour is called ‘blue’ by those that know! Poodles are ‘rather superior’ because we know that we are almost human. Other dogs just don’t compare, except perhaps collies.We may not be able to read and write but we use telepathy to communicate. I can make my owners do anything that I want just by looking at them. I can tell them when I want food or a walk or a pee. I can tell them when to wake up and when to go to bed. I am in total control. Although I like them to think that they are the ones calling the shots, there are not many things that happen in our lives that are not forced by my presence. I don't like it when they shut doors against me, or send me to my bed, so I annoy them by scratching the doors and peeing on the carpet. And my timing is much better than theirs as I make it perfectly clear when my dinner is running late. Talking of dinner, I hate tinned food. When I am given some, I just starve myself and refuse to eat. This upsets Kate so much that soon she’ll give me human food, like chicken or cheese, which I love. Another battle won! My walks are sometimes on Salisbury Plain, which I really enjoy, usually when Nicky takes me. Kate doesn't like walking much, so the walks with her tend to be around Poulshot. She particularly annoys me in the Autumn when she spends the whole of my walk, dawdling along picking blackberries. I enjoy meeting the other dog inhabitants of Poulshot, but sadly my main friend and neighbour, Dudley, went to the happy hunting grounds a few weeks ago. Also my friend Ella the Ridgeback, who lived in West Overton but stayed with me sometimes, died at the same time as Dudley. I'm a little bit choosy when making new friends so please don’t be offended if I walk on by. I am after all a member of the poodle clan, who consider themselves superior to all other dogs. I have a little trick which I very much enjoy as humans find it disconcerting and embarrassing. On meeting new people, I have to check them out in the same way as I would with dogs by shoving my nose where they do not like it to go. I find their reactions very funny! So be warned! Poodles are bred mainly for shooting. We are very good at retrieving from water. When you see a poodle at Crufts (usually winning!), he is clipped in a very particular way. This is not meant to make us look figures of fun although people often laugh. The extra wool (not hair) on the body is meant to keep the joints warm in water and the tuft on the top of the head should be tied with a red ribbon so that the owner can see us as we swim. The fact that we have wool not hair and have to be clipped, means that we can be owned by people who are normally allergic to dogs.I am not very partial to shooting as I don't like the bangs. I spend most of the time in Nicky's arms or sitting on his knee which rather hinders his shooting so he doesn't like to take me. He also says that if you are going to take a poodle shooting, it has to be better at it than the other dogs. I think I may be a bit of a disappointment. But I love water especially the sea where I swallow buckets of seawater until I'm sick. All in all, I am a pleasure to keep and my owners can't manage without me. I am going on 12 now and my joints are beginning to creak.I think they will be sad when I join Dudley and Ella.Rumour has it that Dudley's owners are thinking of finding someone like me. Hooray!

We had a real fun evening with lots of laughter as parcels were passed from hand to hand, shake, felt and sniffed, trying to guess the contents and what they were worth. The parcels ranged from candles, teddy bear, pot holder, chocolates, biscuits, photo frame, purse, tie and cufflinks, won by Dankay which we fully expect to see worn at some point!! Lots more items too numerous to mention warm house socks with a little bear on the side, much prized by Paulette from Bear Cottage!! The highlight of the evening had to be the parcel that Karen won, first thought to be a bracelet and passed round for everyone to admire only to be found to be a magnetic necklace, much hilarity as different styles were tried. We have cleared funds from this of £45 to be donated to a Charity to be chosen. April sees us having a visit to Devizes Museum, a few places left. This is on 19th April at 5.00pm at the museum.

"Walking is man'a best medicine". Hippocrates As we recovered from the challenge of last years moonwalk, choruses of never again were heard throughout the shire. But like childbirth the memories of the more difficult moments disappeared almost as quickly as the blisters. And rather like when you are handed that beautiful baby, realising that we had raised over £3000 and had had a lot of fun in the process the moonwalk didn't seem so bad as to not try it again. We also have experience on our side, we know what to expect and how to manage our marathon. Which is a good thing? Due to commitments, injury and distance. A firm no from our friend in Spain who suffered with the cold that evening. Our merry band of walkers are Penny Nixon, Lizzie Hunter, Sara Weeden and Kim Johnson.

This is a short extract from the Eulogy and Tribute by The Rev. Angela Syer June Russell-Allen was born on the 3rd of July 1939, two months before the outbreak of the 2nd World War. She was baptised on September 3rd the very day that war was declared! From an early age, she showed a great love for animals especially horses. June developed a great passion for hunting, riding to hounds until her late teens. Her father was Master and Huntsman of the North Cheshire from 1934 until 1944, and previously to the Cheshire Forest. June was a great reader from a young age, and she loved her books throughout her life. Her education began at a small private day school in Stow-on-theWold. From there she progressed to 'Lawnside', a Girls boarding school at Great Malvern. She proved to be a very bright pupil, who was also good at games, representing her school at Hockey. After lawnside' June was sent for a year to a Finishing School in Lausanne, Switzerland. When she returned to the UK she took a job for a short while at an Interior Design shop in Cirencester, before embarking on a History course, in preparation for University. However, it was not long before her plans changed. She found a job in Cambridge, and it was here that she met and fell in love with her future husband Dennis. They were married on 27 th October, 1962, in Cold Aston Parish Church. Their first son David, was born 10 months later in August 1963. Andrew was born in 1966 and Caroline was born 2 years later in 1968. 1987 marked a change of job for Dennis. He joined West of England Farmers in Wiltshire and at last they were able to move south to warmer climes. Their new house was Manor House, Poulshot. It was whilst they lived here that Dennis and June became grandparents. With joy they welcomed Ahlia, Rama, Anna, Arabella, Amara and William into the family. With her children grown up, June decided to explore the world. She took herself away on separate occasions, trekking through Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Sumatra, Pakistan, Ethiopia, Yemen, Lake Titicaca and the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu in Peru, Cambodia and Dubai. Despite her frequent trips abroad June still found time for her lovely garden, and for hunting, two of her life long passions. Upon Dennis' retirement June was finally able to choose where to live. It came as no surprise to her family, that her first choice was their holiday home in Brushford. All 6 grandchildren have fond memories of 'expeditions' with Granny around her beloved Exmoor. In 2008, after many years of visiting Turkey, June and Dennis decided to buy a villa on the Kas Peninsular, where they would spend the extended summer months with family and friends. June's untimely illness (pancreatic cancer) was hard for her to bear, yet she emphasised that her house was 'not to be a place of gloom', (her words). And it wasn't. The love, dedication and humour of her family shone through during the coming weeks and Andrew, Rosemary, David, Caroline and Ahliah did a tremendous job nursing her night and day with the help and guidance of a very special medical team. We shall always miss June, but her legacy lives on, and her children, and her grandchildren will remember her with pride for the rest of their lives. Her kindness, generosity, determination, thoughtfulness for others, fantastic sense of humour, and an energy that never left her until she finally succumbed to her dreadful illness 5 weeks after diagnosis. �In Memory Of Adam Kidd Heartfelt thanks to everybody associated with making Adam’s service so special in every way. Thanks also to everyone who very kindly attended the service which supported me so much With love Hilary Kidd The Queen’s 90th Birthday Beacon Her Majesty the Queen celebrates her 90th Birthday on Thursday 21st April.

A BEAUTIFUL POEM ABOUT GROWING OLDER BUGGER ...... I forgot the words. �TOWNSEND BARN Nursery Welcome to the spring term at Townsend Barn Nursery. March has been a very busy month for us all and seemed to revolve all around books – which is fantastic as communication and language development is a crucial area of development for young children! We have celebrated World Book Day with each child receiving a free book voucher; we then invited the children to bring their own special books to nursery to share with each other. We were also lucky to have a visit from Wendy the librarian from Devizes library. Wendy read us lots of stories relating to construction, which led us onto a visit from Graham Gaiger to talk to the children about his building company. This prompted the children in to creating their own construction area in the garden where everyone had to don a hard hat to enter! We also had a visit from Mr White whose cows produce all of the milk for the Rowdey Cow ice cream. The children were even lucky enough to have some Rowdey Cow ice cream for their pudding that day. We now of course have a mix of budding farmers and builders on our hands! To conclude our book theme we also had a visit from children’s author and creator of The Whimsy Wood series Sarah Hill. We are lucky that Sarah is one of our parents too so quite often pops in to read her latest books to the children. Throughout the nursery the children have all been having lots of fun. The Caterpillars have engaged in crafts, dancing and sensory activities. Their initial theme was ‘all about me’ which is always a good theme to get to know their new friends. The Butterflies have enjoyed making a display of their own faces by using a mirror to study their own reflections. They have also been learning about vehicles, ducks and using their senses. The Barn Owls have been learning about change and investigating growing. They have also been learning about the story of Jack and the Beanstalk and planting seeds to stud lifecycles. Our welly walks continue each week in our woodland garden no matter what the weather as the changing seasons in our beautiful nursery environment helps the children’s learning and development soar by having a hands on approach to nature.

Title A name given to the resource Residents' moments with our late Queen Elizabeth II Subject The topic of the resource In 2012 Caroline Brailey was working for Wiltshire Council and was the Community Area Manager for Pewsey during the time of the 2012 Jubilee. As Caroline recalls "we put together and hosted the Queen in our jousting tent, show casing the Pewsey area at Salisbury Cathedral. Only a small number of tents were selected to be visited by the Queen, so it was a great honour for ours to be included. It was a day I will never forget."

POST-CONSERVATION TREATMENT REPORT Church of St.Peter, Poulshot, Wiltshire. Diocese of Salisbury. Listed Grade II* Restoration of chime of three bells for stationary electrically operated chiming in accordance with quotation no.2 and supplementary quotation no.2A dated 9/7/21 prepared by Nicholson Engineering Ltd who undertook the work. Work commenced 25/4/22 Work completed 26/5/22 BELL DETAILS bell diameter weight note date founder Tenor 36 1/2” 8 1/2cwt A 1606 John Wallis, Salisbury Second 33 1/8” 7cwt B 1606 John Wallis, Salisbury Treble 30 1/4” 5 1/2cwt C# c.1450 Medieval Bristol foundry RECORD OF CONSERVATION All work undertaken in accordance with the original specification prepared by Nicholson Engineering Ltd. No new discoveries were made during the course of the work. The three bells were dismantled and lowered to the ground. A mobile drilling rig was set up in the base of the tower and was used to drill central stress-relieving holes in the heads of the bells. The original cast-in crown staples were carefully and entirely removed from the heads of the bells. All bells were checked for cracks using dye-penetrant methods, all found to be well. New iroko deadstocks and stainless steel strapwork were made and fitted to the bells. The headstocks were treated with bat-friendly preservative. Church Bellhangers of Distinction Registered in England No 3047073 VAT Reg.No. 651 2463 55 �New electromagnetically operated Canonico hammers were fitted to the bells, complete with stainless steel independent crown staples. The crown staples were provided with leather insulation washers. An AstroPCE control unit, DCF77 antenna and 4-channel remote control unit were provided, made by Seles. A digital interface unit was also provided complete with DC driver modules for the hammers, contained in a weatherproof enclosure. The bells were rehung in the existing medieval bellframe and secured in position using stainless steel coach screws and brackets. The hammers were installed such that they struck at unworn parts of the bells. The digital interface was installed in the bellchamber and the hammers connected using heat resistant cable. A mains spur was installed to the interface unit. A CAT5 data cable was connected to the interface unit and led down to the control position at the base of the tower. The control unit was installed at the base of the tower and connected to the CAT5 cable. A mains spur was installed to the control unit. The system was programmed to provide the facilities required by the parish, including pealing bells, calling bell, slow speed funeral toll and Sanctus. An instruction manual for the control system was provided. The bells were fully tested and left in working order. No further work is required. CARE AND MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS It is recommended that a maintenance check be undertaken once annually.

Title A name given to the resource Story of the ducks Subject The topic of the resource <strong>The year of the Duck family</strong> Description An account of the resource <p>The village of Poulshot has always been known as Poulshot docks.</p> <p>This was because of the number of ponds that used to be on the green. Maybe it should change its name this year to Poulshot Ducks!</p> <p>On March 28th our usual pair of ducks arrived hanging around the garden eating the bird seed and swimming in the pond, disappearing every night to return in the morning. Joining them on April 11th a pair of Moorhens also arrived.! ( I keep a diary of the garden visitors). The pair of ducks left as they usually did every year to go elsewhere. Around the beginning of May a lone duck came to have food and left, but on the 13th May she arrived on the patio again with 6 ducklings! Two days later there were only 5!  She had, unknown to us, built a nest near our small pond which is covered with  low pines  trees. After they had fed she took them back to the nest and returned when they wanted to feed. The ducklings were drinking water out of the manhole cover 'cups', so I filled  a 12" plant pot stand with water, they not only drank from it, but also used it as good 'pond' to swim in. As they grew they swam up and down in a grow bag tray I had filled with water further down the garden, they quickly became juvenile delinquents, now running down the garden after feeding to the tray with mother in hot pursuit to keep them in check.</p> <p> The moorhens had built a nest on the water lilies in the big pond and hatched one baby (we called it the ugly duckling!) By 25th May, the young ducklings had now started to use the big pond,  so war was declared by the moorhens , but Duck was having non of it and fought back and won! Duck and her young had more or less wrecked the Moorhens nest, so they built a new one and promptly laid 3 more eggs of which only one  hatched. On June 15th, at just four weeks old,  mother and babies started to disappear in the late afternoon, we discovered the duck had decided to remove them from our garden for the night and returning in the morning, by as most of you will know <strong>waddling up and down the pavement and roads of the village.</strong> I followed them as they zigzagged up the road from one side to the other, shepherding them  and trying to flag down the faster cars, (as recommended by the duck website!) I think quite a few of us did this when they were on the move! they went up to the pond at Planks dairy, and I understand from Kate Hunloke they went on to the Rectory and then onto the green to the Major's pond in the corner and then back again,  I expect some of you will know where else they went!!! June 22nd a single duck appeared in the morning with no ducklings, so we assumed that they had fledged,  but no! on the 23rd June duck plus 5 arrived back again, they had  learnt to flap their wings and try to take off, but they were obviously not yet strong enough to fly . Mother duck was not seen again after 21st July, so the journey up and down the road continued without her, with the dominant duckling taking the lead.   They were visiting intermittently until 29th July when the ducklings visited leaving our drive at 7.30pm  and it was to be their  last journey up the road and did not return to us again. Although I was very sad to see them go, I think we all hope that they have flown off join the ducks on the Crammer or the canal.</p> <p>The duck was an amazing mother. She managed to rear all 5 ducklings (all drakes) through all the horrors of traffic, cats, foxes, and buzzards. It was an enjoyable time and a privilege for all of us to watch them grow. Roll on next year and maybe mother duck will be back with another brood !! </p> <p>Mary Bell and Kate Hunloke</p> Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Kate Hunlock, Mary Bell Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Poulshot Village News, October 2017 Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Poulshot Village News Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource October 2017 Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Poulshot Village Trust Relation A related resource Poulshot Village News, October 2017 Language A language of the resource English https://s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/org.poulshotvillagearchive/original/c71c0a19c938877459791fd2b808abea.jpg b17634917ac179e4b4c5ec1218086cd1 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Pam DeBelle Description An account of the resource September 2015: After fifteen years of loyal service as Organist at St.Peter's Church, Pam De Belle has retired. She played the organ for the last time at the morning service on Sunday 6 September, after which she was presented with a gift from the congregation to thank her for all she has done for the church. For those fifteen years, Pam has been totally reliable, playing not only at church services but also at many weddings and funerals held at St.Peter's. She did this quietly and modestly, never wanting to draw attention to herself or make her playing more important than the occasion. For her loyalty and generosity, St. Peter's is most grateful, and we wish her a long and happy retirement from the organ. It will now be a pleasure to have her as a member of the congregation.

Title A name given to the resource Interview with Ken Daly Subject The topic of the resource Interview with Ken Daly, aged 89, in 2008. Ken Daly sadly died 15th January 2009 just 14 days before his 91st birthday Description An account of the resource Ken Dally aged 89 I was born in the November of 1941 in a nursing home in Chippenham when my family was living in Calne. Later my parents Kenneth (better known as Ken) and my mother Kathleen (Kay) rented some rooms in a house on Poulshot green from a Mr and Mrs Vallis. My father was in the RAF and was stationed at Yatesbury. A neighbour, Reg Collett, used to make small metal propellers for me to play with and fire up in the air (I regularly lost them and he would patiently make me some more). I also remember Reg’s brother Bert. One of them (Reg?) had a son as I recall (Geoff?), that I would play with on the green. Would that be the G. Collett on the Parish Council I wonder? He would be a little older than me. I also remember farmer Baber who used to give me rides on his horse and on one occasion gave me a goose egg for tea. I also note you have a Mr J. Baber on the Council, a relative I am sure. Mr Hoddynott lived a couple of doors away with his housekeeper but I have forgotten her name (Betty?). I visited them regularly. I used to live in fear of the geese on the green as they used to chase me home and stick their heads through the gate hissing at me (I suspect that I have might have teased them). Dad used to dress up as father Christmas and deliver toys to 2 or 3 children in his Ford 8, having got permission from me to use it, which included a child at the Raven pub. I was in big trouble for letting Father Christmas use Dad’s car without asking for permission!!! According to Dad the landlord was an ex-jockey who had ridden mainly in France and had a French wife. Father was famous (maybe infamous) for his firework displays and one year fired a verey pistol flare into the village bonfire by mistake giving an early start to the fire!!! I became a nuisance at the school because I was fed up with being on my own and used to climb through the fence at playtime and then file into school with the other kids. Three children into a 2 seater form desk didn’t fit, so I was escorted off the premises. Eventually the teacher got so fed up with me that she said if I really wanted to go to school so badly I could come to school the next day. I raced home to tell Mum as fast as my legs would carry me. I can’t remember how old I was but I was certainly under normal school age (not a chance that would happen these days). I think we left Poulshot in the winter of 1947 which was a particularly bad winter and set off for Leeds in Yorkshire in the Ford – it took us 2 days. We called into RAF Banbury en-route and we were the first travellers they had seen for a week. We returned a few weeks later to live with grandmother in Guildford. The family travelled around with Dad to Germany, Malaya and Gibraltar and finally settled in Pitsford near Northampton. Sadly Mum died at the age of 59 but here is a picture of Dad who is still alive and kicking which I took last week. He will be 90 in January. I wonder if anyone remembers him?
