So if this issue is a little late, my apologies and a big thank you to all who have kindly sent in their advertising or copy twice. Believe me the lesson has been learnt and in future I will be backing up each week ! With all the climate change talk and different weather patterns across the country, the last few weeks have been interesting. As the summer faded and autumn arrived, days have been crisp and sometimes wet in equal measure. The sky in the mornings has been clear and blue though within a few hours, the clouds have been dark and striking in their outline. The agriculture cycle has continued with silage and tractor movements and the hedges bordering fields have been trimmed. Fortunately some have remained unclipped so it has been such a pleasure to gather blackberries although the speed of the traffic passing up and downhill towards Piddlehinton was unnecessarily fast. This issue is packed with reviews of past events, upcoming events to choose (remember to put the dates in your diaries) and a fascinating article by intrepid traveller and bee-keeper Bridget Bowen. Catch up with Neighbourhood Plan progress and do let NP Chair John Browning or the Focus Group Leaders know if you would like to discuss any aspect. Including fliers is against PVNV policy, but we have made an exception to make sure that all households in the Valley receive the Housing Survey. Please do return this and note the date of the Open Meeting at Piddle Valley CE First School on Monday 25th November.

It is how I respond to my world. I am driven by mood and intuition. I always begin outside. In that sense I am a landscape painter. Seasonal changes catch my attention and I can rarely resist the changing colours and textures of the natural year. I sketch and paint in watercolour, charcoal or oil then return to the studio where I make larger mixed media pieces guided by memory and feeling. Work gets cut down, torn up, collaged and reformed. Fragments of self portraits often lay hidden in fields, branches or buildings.” ‘DRAWN IN’ 11 May - 15 June: Bridport Arts Centre, South Street, BRIDPORT, DT6 3NR.

What we can offer You 14 Benefice Profile - Crossways docx final 2020 Page 2 1. Introduction to the Profile by the Bishop of Sherborne In Dorset we have been working hard to make rural ministry both a joy and a delight. In recent years significant changes have been made in the way clergy are supported and encouraged, leading to a greater sense of collegiality in our rural and our urban areas. The Dorchester Deanery, in which the Benefice is situated, seeks to be a supportive place bringing together the rural clergy with those in the County Town. There will be a warm welcome amongst this clergy grouping for whoever comes to this Benefice. The parishes here enjoy beautiful rural countryside yet are within easy reach of Dorchester. Whilst some of these parishes remain as they have been for hundreds of years, and contain some exquisite churches, Crossways, in particular, is an expanding village aimed at attracting a mixed population, including a large number of families, and the newly built church here, adjacent to the school, creates a significant opportunity for the church to open its doors to minister to all those who live in that community.

From the editors ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Many of us lucky enough to reside in the folds of the Dorset landscape cannot but be thankful that we live among a friendly, caring and tranquil society. Where there is noise a-plenty from the birds and sounds of a working countryside, we are not discomfited by angry mobs and out of control individuals. We can walk or cycle by day or by night along the road and the paths, able to talk to each other and our neighbours as we go, unhindered by chaos and aggression. But we should be mindful of the horrors that do exist whether within some of the UK's towns and cities, or beyond in the wider world and we should all strive to influence a better attitude which we can all roll out into the world around us.

Despite the increased prominence of ecological measurement in fresh waters within recent national regulatory and legislative instruments, their assessment is still almost exclusively based on taxonomic structure. Integrated metrics of structure and function, though widely advocated, to date have not been incorporated into these bioassessment programmes. We sought to address this, by assessing community structure (macroinvertebrate assemblage composition) and ecosystem functioning (decomposition, primary production, and herbivory rates), in a series of replicated field experiments, at watercress farms on the headwaters of chalk streams, in southern England. The outfalls from watercress farms are typically of the highest chemical quality, however surveys have revealed long-term (30 years) impacts on key macroinvertebrate taxa, in particular the freshwater shrimp Gammarus pulex (L.), yet the ecosystem-level consequences remain unknown.
