Hello Baydon,

Well here we are, another issue of the Scene. I am sorry that the timing is a little out of sync. Hopefully, by the time of the next issue we should be out of lockdown and starting to get our lives back on track.

Fortunately, the Covid restrictions didn’t prevent the Table Top sale and Pirate Treasure Trail from going ahead on Saturday. This turned out to be a great day. Fun for everyone and money raised for the church building fund. Thank you to all involved.

The Council are still looking for more Councillors and I am looking for the next editor of this publication. Don’t be afraid to put your hand up if you have s ome spare time and want to be more involved in village life.

Several new families have moved into the village in the last couple of weeks. I would like to welcome them to Baydon and hope that they will be very happy here. Let’s make sure that we say hello if we see new faces in the village and make them feel welcome.

If you are one of our new residents, how about a short note about yourself, where you have come from and why you came to Baydon. It is the quickest way to get known and get to know others in the village.

We will shortly be saying goodbye to Mrs Knighton. Whilst we are sorry to see her go, we of course wish her the best of luck in her new role. A big thank you for all that she has done for the school.

I always need more articles for the magazine. So new additions to the family or, sadly, losses of family, how you have survived lockdown, comments or suggestions about the village, interesting or old photos of the village, Anything that others in the village might find interesting.

Alan.

Baydon Book Exchange is opening up again- Calling all readers. Are you an avid reader? Maybe you are looking for a holiday read or bedtime read...then look no further. We are excited to launch the idea of a Baydon Book Exchange- based in the church. The idea is that you choose a book and for a small donation you can take the book away, read it and hopefully bring it back for someone else to enjoy! The Donation Box is in the Bookcase holding the Hymn Books. Of course, for this to happen we need books. If you have any of novels lying around gathering dust and you don’t know what to do with them, then look no further. We would be very grateful for donations of good quality books that can be dropped off in the church or at 44 Downsmead. This initiative will be up and running as soon as we can fill our bookshelves so please keep sorting!

7 Flower arranger extraordinaire calls it a day! Tina Evans has been the flower arrangers’ co- ordinator for many years at St Nicholas Church, but due to other pressures in her life she has decided to call it a day. Her expertise and knowledge of how to create wonderful displays has been much appreciated by the church community. COVID restrictions and regulations have prohibited many of the church’s services and events. Now we can at last look forward and recover from the drought of social interaction and hopefully meet up again for worship and other activities. Many of us are currently enjoying walking around our rural pathways and seeing the hedgerows and trees come back to life with green leaves and delicate blossom. Fresh flowers in the church is something I love to see and from Easter I intend to ensure that this is the case! If you would like to provide flowers or funds for the cost of them at any time; for a special date in memory of someone or to remember an anniversary? Please do let me know and I will ensure that you can either gain access to the church or I will make an arrangement on your behalf. If you would like a small card placed beside your flowers to say who they are for, or from, I can easily do this for you. I am not a resident in Baydon, but I do know that Tina very much appreciated the expertise of the Baydon qualified flower arrangers for the key festivals of the year. If any of you are still willing to support us with your beautiful displays I would very much like to hear from you. Many thanks, Donni Blackwell 07973191654 [email protected]

9 Saturday 12th June

Saturday saw the Table Top sale held on the village

The day raised just over £500 for the church building fund.

A big thank you to everyone who helped to organise this and to all of you that turned out in to support it.

10

Vicki and Donni provided a selection of food and drinks.

The hot dogs and cup cakes went down very well.

There was a Pirate Treasure Trail for the youngsters (and some not so young)

It was a beautiful sunny summer’s day and hopefully a good time was had by all.

Let’s see if we can arrange some more days like this.

Heads Up! It has been such a pleasure having all the children back in school – albeit in ‘bubbles’! Despite what you might read in the press, we are not seeing a ‘lost generation of children.’ My thanks to the staff and our wonderful families and children for all that they did during lockdown. There are gaps to fill but there are always gaps to fill and we will continue to do all that we can to give our children ‘the roots to grow’ so that they ‘might fly.’

When the whole school returned at the beginning of March, we celebrated Shakespeare Week using The Tempest as our inspiration across the school. Our youngest children painted storms and danced in the hall whilst the children in Goldfinches wrote their own spells based on those of Prospero! In KS2, the children used sculpture as a way of representing the characters from the Tempest as well as writing about and performing various parts of the play. We pulled all our learning together and produced a short video to give our families the highlights of our week.

Despite the restrictions, we have managed to raise money for Red Nose day – congratulations to Craven House for all their hard work in organising this. In addition, Ashdown House held a successful Dress Down Day in aid of Air Ambulance. My congratulations go to the House Captains for their choreography and for practising and filming a dance which they then ‘taught’ – virtually - to the rest of the school! The children then enjoyed an interesting and informative day with Wiltshire Air Ambulance who taught them some critical first aid skills.

We have continued to hold Worship – via zoom – and my thanks to the Church and all their volunteers for their weekly videos of Collective Worship and Open the Book – the children have much enjoyed them! We recently had a visit from our Diocesan Adviser who commented: ‘You have created a wonderful school where the children, staff and families are certainly at the centre of all that you do. It was lovely seeing how creatively you are living out your Christian vision and the quality of learning being produced as a result.’

One of the highlights of this term has been visits from Action for . The children had three sessions spread over three weeks. The first session focused on the importance of our local chalk river (the Kennet), where our water comes from, how our use of water affects the water levels in the river and how we can save water. Each child was given a 4 minute shower timer! The second session was led by Deena from Thames Water. She talked to the children about the water cycle, what happens to water when it reaches the treatment works and she also showed photos of fatbergs! For the final session, ARK volunteers very kindly delivered fresh river water to school. After a quick river invertebrate ID session, the children spent a very happy hour sorting and identifying river invertebrates. The water and wildlife were returned to the river by an ARK volunteer. Our thanks to ARK and their volunteers.

Forest School continues to be an important part of school and children continue to love their visits ‘playing with friends, making dens, swinging in the hammock, being outside, learning new things, drinking hot chocolate and trying new foods. Most importantly, children report feeling ‘happy, joyful, relaxed, free, excited, safe, myself and special.’

Huge thanks to our wonderful team of fundraisers in FOBS (Friends of Baydon School) who have continued to come up with imaginative and fun ways of raising money. Our recent sponsored walk was a very special day with the whole school – from our youngest to oldest – completing the challenge! We have recently purchased a 9m history timeline which is on display in our playground with some of the funds raised over the past year – thank you FOBS!

There are a few goodbyes in this edition. First to say goodbye to our wonderful Year 6s as they head off to their secondary schools. We hope that all goes well and that they enjoy their new schools. Miss Rasberry and Mrs Chamberlain who have been with the school for many years have decided to retire and we wish them all the best. In addition, Mrs Bond, who has been running our ELSA programme, is leaving and we will shortly be recruiting her successor. My thanks to all three for their significant contribution to the education and welfare of the children of Baydon School – it has been a pleasure working with you. It is also with mixed emotions that I write this report as it will be my last before I move to be Head of a large, primary school in Oxfordshire. I have loved my time at Baydon and, although sad to leave, am delighted to be handing over to my Deputy, Mrs Gilbert, as I know that the school will be in safe hands! I wish her and all the wonderful staff, children and families at Baydon all the best for the future.

Caroline Knighton Headteacher

15 By the time you read this you’ll probably be thinking of returning to your old ways – don’t bank on that! Prior to the scamdemic, I mean plandemic, sorry pandemic, our pub had already gone and our shop and Post Office was endangered. Since then the world has been turned upside down by a few eggheads and governments around the world have easily put their citizens under their thumbs, in fact it was so easy they’re loathe to give it up – newsflash, the world has always been full of things that will kill you, coronavirus is just another one and it’s been around for decades. When the supermarket shelves were empty, when morons fought in the isles with each other over toilet rolls and soap, when the big supermarket chains were coining it in and you couldn’t get a home delivery unless you sat at the computer all day and night waiting for a slot, when an NHS worker finished her night shift and couldn’t even get a loaf of bread for breakfast because selfish so- and-so’s with freezers bigger than their morals had stripped the shelves, who did you turn to keep you functioning? Our shop. Alan and Debbie Moxon went out of their way for all of us. Yes, even the ones who normally go nowhere near the place because they can afford the upmarket munchies, or just use this village as a place to rest their head while they rush off to the Big Smoke or somewhere to make a mint of greed. With any luck our shop was pulled back from the brink by this, and yes hopefully they made money, it is a business, but better for our usage than in the pocket of fat cats or foreign supermarkets. To say the future is uncertain is an understatement; the next few years are going to be challenging to say the least. As I wander around this village and see all the sophisticated machinery in the driveway, mostly from Germany, see bungalows turned into houses and houses into mansions, picturesque trees and gardens uprooted for patios and more concrete for townie toes, you can’t tell me you cannot afford to spend a few quid in the shop each week. Supermarkets don’t give a Nectar point about you and yours, if they did they would have made more of an effort to keep the shelves stocked-up while the nation panicked – as one employee told me when I complained about the yawning shelves, ‘The manager doesn’t care, it makes him look good at head office.’ I’ve lived here most of my life, and the village is bigger now than at any time and yet there is less now than there ever was. When I was little there were two shops, a post office, a garage, and a pub, and probably more that I’ve forgotten, yet now we just have our valuable shop which, unless we look after it, will be endangered – teenager Greta won’t save us from that. You can argue all you like about the benefit of such an influx of transplants, but the case that expansion means more infrastructure and facilities was clearly a lie. One thing this continuing madness has taught us all is that life can change in a blink of an eye. Don’t forget who looked after you when others wouldn’t or couldn’t. As Debbie often says, ‘Use it or lose it,’ so shop local when you can, and as often as you can, because once it’s gone the chances are it’s gone for ever. Brian Burford 16

Baydon Parish Council needs more Councillors

Do you have some spare time to become a Parish Councillor? Would you like to get involved in village life and help make decisions on behalf of the people in the local parish? It would be fantastic if we could fill the remaining vacancies so that we have our complete quorum of seven Councillors. As it is the authority closest to the people, Parish Councils are invariably the first place people will go with concerns or ideas. For this reason they are a vital part of any community. By becoming a Parish Councillor you become a community leader with the power to influence decisions for the benefit of the people you serve - someone the community will look to for help, guidance and support. Seeing your community change for the better, as a result of decisions you have helped make, is something that can give you a sense of achievement and pride. If you are interested please apply now.

What is involved? Parish Council meetings are held once a month in the BYPA Hall, but currently are being held remotely via Zoom. Work is also required outside of the meetings. The amount of work will depend upon the number or councillors serving. The position is voluntary.

Want to know more? The current Councillors would welcome talking to you about what is involved and why they have chosen to serve. Join our next meeting via Zoom or email our Parish Clerk, Kim Lloyd for more details. [email protected].

William Noel Colvan McCleery, “Noel” to his friends and colleagues, was born on 23rd December 1927 in Belfast, Northern Ireland , the only child of parents John and Alice. In his teenage years, Noel attended the Royal Belfast Academical Institute, and then with the support of a Kitchener Scholarship, he studied medicine at Queen’s University. Lord Kitchener had established the fund, to enable the higher education of members of the armed forces and their families. Noel's father, John, had served in the Royal Navy in World War 1, as a frigate Chief Engineer, and had been awarded the Distinguished Service Medal and the Meritorious Service Medal. Noel has always been quick to mention how incredibly grateful he was to the Kitchener Fund for giving him this opportunity to pursue a career in medicine. On completing his training, he took a post as a registrar in Harrogate General Hospital, and it was here that he met Sheila, a staff nurse at the time. They were married in July 1954, and lived initially in Belfast, and following that spent two years in Montreal, before settling for the rest of their working lives in Sheffield. His period in Canada turned out to be a pivotal time in Noel’s career. He was based at the highly regarded, Montreal Neurological Institute Hospital, and it was there that he was introduced to (at the time), innovative techniques of anaesthesia for brain surgery, specifically the use of artificial respiration during an operation.

24

On returning to the UK, he turned down opportunities to continue practising in Belfast, and instead took a consultant’s post in Sheffield, where he felt he was better placed to continue an ambitious career, in neuro anaesthesia. And so it turned out to be….. He championed the techniques he had learnt in Montreal, and after some reluctance from the old guard, the procedures became mainstream, and put Sheffield neurocare at the top of its field in the UK. Subsequently, Noel spoke on the subject at many conferences, becoming the senior neuro anaesthetist in Sheffield, a university lecturer, author, and advisor to the hospital management team. He did, however, remain immensely proud of his upbringing in Northern Ireland and, on settling in Sheffield, joined the local branch of the Ulster Society, becoming President in 1967, and acting as a Trustee thereafter. In 1992, aged 65, he retired from the world of medicine. Leaving behind a neurosurgical unit with an outstanding reputation, and having made many friends along the way. Away from work, Noel was an accomplished woodworker, a high-grade bridge player, and an enthusiastic grower of fruit and vegetables. Shortly after retirement, Noel and Sheila moved to Baydon, and were delighted to join such a welcoming community. In 23 years they made some wonderful friends, and the change in lifestyle enabled Noel to be increasingly supportive of Sheila’s endeavours - whether they be her work with the Women’s Institute, the planting of roadside daffodils, (which had a wonderful bloom this year), or the hosting of dinner parties and garden events. Noel passed away peacefully on 1st April at his Care Home in Goring-on- Thames, which had been his home for the previous 6 months. To the end, he was unfailingly appreciative of all those who supported him. **************

27 BIRDS OF BAD OMEN

Spring seemed slow coming to the hill this year, as was illustrated by the yellow and white daffodils, colourful blossom and green mixing with browns that greeted me once Peaks was in my rear view mirror. With the season being late to shape a face, it did give us an opportunity to observe the rooks and crows building their nests. It is a wonder sometimes that they ever get finished. When one had left to gather more building material, the neighbour jumped across and stole some sticks and took them to his home. Once satisfied, the bird took to the sky. On his return, our first feathered fiend, realising it had been burgled, squawked loudly and then hopped across and retrieved its property and some of its rival’s. This went on for some time until one returned a bit too soon and then a noisy battle took place, while others took the chance to top up their own homes as they quarrelled. Of course, finish they did, and it wasn’t long before feeding their young commenced. Incidentally, should they build their nests high a good summer is expected, low then it will be a wet one. Except for the ash trees in Ermin Close this year, a traditional nesting site, the birds have abandoned it because of its lack of cover as its very late producing leaves. Corvids: crows, jackdaws and rooks, are not viewed with the same affection as our brighter song birds, but they have their role to play in the world. Their plumage, especially when the sun is shining, is very glossy, often containing a tinge of blue and the jackdaw, with its grey hood, provides a contrast that would have been praised if it wasn’t a bird of bad omen. I had an injured jackdaw in my garden. Its wing was hurt, it hung down by its side and it couldn’t fly. My neighbour and I tried to catch it; although it bounced and rolled awkwardly, it hopped away at some pace and easily evaded capture. Periodically, its family and friends would stop by and call for it to get airborne. There is nothing worse than a bird that cannot fly, making it vulnerable, sad and ungainly. Feeling it should have a chance, I called various rescue centres such as the RSPB, but they seem to exercise a policy of not answering calls. Eventually a local charity did pick up, but they were reluctant to add to their rookery. “Can you catch it?” she asked. “If I could catch it I wouldn’t be calling you would I? You’re the experts!” Apparently they were only experts when there was an ‘r’ in the month and when the hard bit had been done for them. By the time my cat, Sylvester, had chased it around - for once not sure whether to bash it or kill it, so settled for tormenting - that jackdaw had run a marathon. For all I know Sylvester could have given him his wonky wing. It’s unlikely though, for they seem to know that the devil’s bird is not for consumption, feeding as it does on leftovers, roadkill and leavings – nature’s refuse collectors do a fine job don’t they? Carcasses are not visible for long. 28

“The devil’s bird?” I hear you question. Its ebony plumage is not enough to convince you? How about the collective noun: a ‘murder’ of crows? Perhaps their reputation isn’t warranted, yet they are considered portents of doom because where there is death they gather, and when something is close to passing, they wait in preparation. The opening of Mackenna’s Gold (1969) contains a narration of the Apache legend associated with the turkey buzzard which underlines this unpleasant image. While travelling through the desert a man saw the vulture soaring over Hadleyburg so he deliberately changed course to avoid it, only to encounter it later sitting on a rock. Our weary wanderer wanted to know what the bird was doing there, and informed it that he’d purposely ‘turned around and came this way’ to elude it. The buzzard replied coldly: “That’s funny, I was only passing through that town; I was really coming over here...to wait for you!” Nevertheless, perhaps the most fabled of all corvids is the raven. It has been said should they ever leave the Tower of London the monarchy is doomed and its fall imminent. Cornish legend says that King Arthur was reincarnated as a raven, therefore given the tales that the King and his knights will rise again to save England from peril you had better not harm one. Edgar Allan Poe did most to establish its supernatural status in his poem, The Raven, in which the bird’s sole word ‘nevermore’ confirms the loss of his love Lenore. Its presence hastens the narrator’s descent into insanity, describing its eyes as having ‘all the seeming of a demon’s that is dreaming.’ Brian Burford

29 Pureis® Ultra Pure CBD is the 1st CBD food supplement on the market that is backed by safety clinical studies. It does not cause a ‘high’ and is non addictive. What does this mean? This means Pureis® CBD is clinically proven to be safe and is free from toxins and pollutants that may be found in plant CBD. They are simply pure CBD. What is CBD & how does it work? CBD – short for cannabidoil – is a compound derived from the hemp plant. Not to be confused with the marijuana that some people smoke, CBD oil is legal and contains very little of the ‘psychoactive’ compound THC.1 The way CBD works in our body is through our Endocannabinoid System (ECS). This is an internal system in our bodies that interacts with cannabinoids, including CBD and brings our bodies back to its natural state. What makes Pureis® Ultra Pure CBD different? Backed by science, Pureis® CBD continues to break new ground in the world of CBD, as they continue to conduct extensive clinical studies. Unlike other CBD brands, Pureis® CBD is not from the plant, it mimics the DNA of the plant. The plant source of CBD can contain traces of THC, other cannabinoids, terpenes, heavy metals, pollutants, pesticides, or insecticides. Their Ultra-Pure CBD is free from all these components. You can have complete trust in their high quality, fully certified Pureis® CBD products. How to take Pureis CBD and where do I start? With their oils, either fill the pipette or use spray, place the oil under tongue, hold for 60 seconds and swallow. You can take their capsules, with or without food, whatever you find best. Choosing what strength is best for you will depend on your own needs, as everyone is different and people can respond differently. Start with the 20mg every day. Take consistently for best results You should feel the benefits after 7 days, if not increase your dose until you experience the desired result You can combine taking the oil and capsules. For example, many people take the oil at night at a capsule in the morning. People take Pureis in the following ways; 560mg oil at night and a top up of 280mg oil during the day 560mg oil at night and 1-2 capsules in the morning or during the day 560mg oil or the 280mg oil at any time during the day or night 20mg or 10mg capsules at any time during the day or night To achieve the maximum benefits, Pureis encourages you to stay consistent with your daily intake. When you achieve your desired benefits, you can reduce the dose for a few days to see if you are still feeling great results. This may be more financially friendly for you.

30

What’s the difference between capsules and oils? At Pureis, they have designed their entire range, so you have the power to choose the product that suits your individual needs. If you like the convenience of swallowing capsules, why not try out capsules range? Or you if you prefer oils, try their great tasting oral drops with an interchangeable top. So, whether it’s drops one day and spray the next… you decide! Dosage The table below is some helpful information on the dosage for each of the Pureis products: Oil Spray range Oil Pipette/Dropper range Capsules Each spray of 560mg 560mg oil; half a pipette, up to One capsule of 10mg is oil is 10mg of CBD. the black line is 20mg of CBD. 10mg of CBD.

Each spray of 280mg 560mg oil; a full pipette, up to One capsule of 20mg is oil is 5mg of CBD. the top, past the black line is 20mg of CBD. 40mg of CBD. 280mg oil; half a pipette, up to the black line is 10mg of CBD. 280mg oil; a full pipette, up to the top, past the black line is 20mg of CBD.

What makes Pureis a premium product? Their raw material is of the highest quality and only contains Ultra Pure CBD. Other sources of CBD can contain traces of other cannabinoids, terpenes, heavy metals, pollutants, pesticides, is weather dependent, or can have crop failure and be very difficult to get consistency from batch to batch. Pureis is the 1st CBD food supplement to be FDA registered. The FDA is the Food and Drug Administration in the USA and is known as one of the strictest food and medicines regulatory agency in the world. From their raw material to their manufacturing process, Pureis® products are subjected to stringent quality measures; quality is guaranteed by FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) certification.

Dear Neighbour

Well, hopefully we're seeing the end of the pandemic in the UK and we all appreciate the work of the NHS staff, care workers and scientists to develop a vaccine and keep us safe. When you talk to people living in Baydon, everyone says how lucky we are to have lived through the pandemic in the village and we are all grateful for the people who have helped each other out during lockdown. But what would life have been like without the Village Shop and Post Office? Even in the darkest days of the pandemic with panic buying and supermarket shelves empty, Debbie and Alan managed to keep their shelves stocked. This was only achieved by making several trips to the wholesalers every day. They both worked so hard for us. The importance of the shop to the village has never been clearer than in the past year. Imagine life without it? As individuals we have very little power, but we do have economic power in the local area so let's use it by maintaining and increasing our custom with Debbie and Alan to help the shop prosper and remain at the heart of the village. We have all seen the effects of not supporting our local businesses with the closure of the Pub in the last two years. We must remember we either “use it or lose it”. If the shop closes it will be a great loss to our community and we will become a collection of houses with no services, which will particularly affect our less mobile residents. Please support Post Office and Village Shop and the keep our Village alive.

Best wishes Tim & Joan O’Rourke

Whilst we are only a small village shop we do try to carry a wide a range as possible. It is not always easy to display everything that we have so never be afraid to ask if you can’t see something that you need. If there is something that we don’t stock that you think we should then let us know and we will look into it.

Baydon Village Stores

It’s summertime!

So you know what that means, it’s time to get out the umbrellas and the BBQ. We are stocking burgers, traditional and specialty sausages from Padfield Porkies, so good quality local produce, delicious!

Keeping it local we are stocking charcoal in three different sizes from Slate Hill Charcoal Company. This is locally produced sustainable Ash lumpwood supplied in paper sacks, so no plastic. For those of you that choose not to do the real thing we also stock gas! Of course, all of this needs to be washed down with your favourite tipple. We stock a range of beers and ciders (including Ramsbury Brewery if you want to keep with the local suppliers). A nice glass of Mateus Rose always goes down well on a sunny day. We stock a range of wines, sorry, nothing local (is there a Wiltshire wine?). In fact, for wine, we have gone completely the other way and have wines from as far away as possible, including Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, California and Chile.

We stock Ice Cubes, Spirits, mixers, fire lighters…..the only things needed for a British summer BBQ here that we don’t supply are raincoats and umbrellas
