METHODIST CHURCH (www.brentknollmethodistchurch.com) Minister Revd. Margaret Trapp At the time of writing, we are preparing a service of thanksgiving for the life of Joan Latham who sadly passed at the beginning of October. Joan was our organist here at Brent Knoll for over 15 years and was an absolute gift to our church. An exceedingly accomplished musician, Joan not only played the organ with aplomb, but led and guided us in each and every hymn she accompanied - and always with a sharp witted sense of humour. When she retired from playing two years ago, we felt quite lost without her. And if truth be told, we still do. She was a close member of our church family and will be very much missed. And at our service, we will give heartfelt thanks for Joan’s life. Our Emmaus course will continue on Thursday 6th November and our monthly bible study will be held on Monday 24th November. Both of these will begin at 2.30pm and be followed by refreshments. As always, all are welcome. Another date for your diaries - our Christmas coffee morning will be held on Saturday 29th November at 10.30am. As well as an opportunity to share time with our village friends over a coffee, there will, of course be a plentiful supply of mince pies as befits the season. God bless.

Brent Knoll Village Scarecrow Trail A massive THANK YOU to everyone who supported the weekend; whether your family made a scarecrow or you bought trail sheets and took part in the trail. It was a great success and we are pleased to be able to advise you that Girlguiding Somerset raised £850 from the sale of refreshments for their trip to the Girlguiding world centre, Sangam in India next year.

WHERE IN OUR VILLAGE Each month the BKN will have a small picture quiz – no prizes, but I hope you may enjoy guessing where the object shown is located within the Parish boundary. Last month’s object is a column beside the entrance to Ivy Clad Hall. This month’s object means you have to look up a bit higher than most people normally do. So where is it? The answer and another object will be shown next month. JaPe

Brent Knoll Local History Society Meetings of the Local History Society will continue at 19.30 (or 7.30pm if you are looking at things from an historical perspective) on the fourth Monday in October (the 27th) at the Jubilee Room in the Parish Hall and the third Monday in November (the 17th – to avoid a clash with BAD rehearsals) at a venue to be confirmed. New members are always welcome. At the September meeting we discussed the Northgrove Manor estate, part of which was in Brent Knoll and which forms part of the endowment of Corpus Christa College, Oxford. This started when Mac Rich kindly lent me a brochure he has, published by the auctioneers when the Lordship of the Manor was put up for sale. Such Lordships are not normally of any great intrinsic value, but are purchased for the right to use the title. A summary of the history of the manor included in the brochure was discussed and an attempt to find the remnants, which straddle the parishes of Brent Knoll, East Brent and Mark. It appears that little is actually within the borders of Brent Knoll, as shown in the Tithe Map. Presumably quite a bit more must be in the other parishes. Some further discussion was based around various collections which offer considerable assistance to those seeking christenings, marriages and funerals and other family sourced references. If you have any particular topics you would like to have discussions about during the Winter season, please do let me know and we will do our best to fit them in. If you have done any research into aspects of the village history, we would love to hear from you. If you have any photographs, papers or other matters of historical interest and are happy to show and discuss them, then please get in touch. John Page BERROW CONSERVATION GROUP On Monday November 24th Berrow Conservation Group welcomes Ken Edwards of the Quantock Beekeepers and will be looking forward to a presentation which we have entitled ‘Rubble to Richness’.

There is a small charge of £2.50 for non-members, £1.00 for members, light refreshments included, venue Berrow Village Hall. Start time 7.30pm. Note it is a MONDAY, not our usual Tuesday.

Chris Outfin THE NUTTALL TRUST The Nuttall Trust is a charity set up to provide financial support for local projects, community organisations and individuals within the villages of Brent Knoll, East Brent, Lympsham and Mark. It was made possible by the generosity of Mr and Mrs James Nuttall who left part of their estate for that purpose. The Trust has been operating now for over ten years. During that time, the four trustees (one to represent each of the four villages) have been able annually to provide varying sums of money for, in total, well over a hundred different projects and causes. Last year we provided funding of varying amounts to nearly all of the applicants who applied. In making available such sums, the trustees seek to balance the likely benefit of funding to individuals and/or to the community as a whole, the level of local support for any particular project, whether there is evidence as to the need for such funding, the likelihood of the balance being raised from other sources, together with the apparent prospects of the project getting off the ground if funding were to be provided. If funding is provided, it is expected to be used for the purpose set out in the application. Don’t worry if you are not sure what information we require. There is an application form which will help, which I will send you. Alternatively, if you would like further information before deciding whether to apply, please give me a call. AII applications are treated in complete confidence. We need to have all completed applications by 15th January 2015.

At our September meeting David Jacobs gave an interesting talk. Using his collection of antiques, he was able to trace their history from the Roman Empire to the 20th Century. He had many items, coins, pottery and glass from different historical periods. He also had examples of early printing. A number of our members brought along some of their own antiques on which he was pleased to give a valuation. Our next meeting is our usual Christmas Fayre. Any contributions towards the fayre will be much appreciated. Next meeting – 19th November – Christmas Fayre We are a very friendly group and we welcome new members of all ages. We meet on the third Wednesday of every month, so just come along to a meeting or contact Joy Collett - 01278 760 458.

Brent Knoll House Histories Andrews’s Tenement – 7 Last month we left Edwin Gould back in Battleborough Lane. However, his stay there did not last long, for, in December 1887 we have a contract which shows that he has had a problem with his mortgage and that it was something he appears not to be able to recover from (shades of his father in an earlier article). When he purchased the Andrew’s Tenement property in 1876 he arranged a mortgage of £500 from a widow who lived in Cannington, Susan Lewes Jeffery. She had been born in Chumleigh, Devon in 1805 and married the former rector of . She was now referred to as a Landed Proprietress. On the following day he also borrowed £150 from the Ruscombe Poole brothers, who were solicitors in Bridgwater and have appeared in a similar role in a number of these articles. This mortgage, plus a small extra sum of £20, lent at a later date by the Pooles to Edwin Gould, was conveyed to Edward Everard Stratford Gooding just under eight years later. He was only 22 years old at the time and was a solicitor’s articled clerk. Then, on the 27th December 1884, at the request of Edwin Gooding, so it is stated, the mortgage was passed across to William Gooding, who happened to be the father of Edward Everard, and was a Justice of the Peace, living in Durleigh. Two days later the other mortgage was transferred by Susan Jeffery to William Gooding as well, meaning that he now owned the full £670. The comment about the transfer from Edward Everard to William Gooding being at the request of Edwin Gould does seem to indicate that the next transaction was anticipated, although it did not happen until three years later and in a rather odd fashion. On the 7th December 1887 an agreement was made between William Gooding and John Barnstable, the Postmaster of Brent Knoll, (who was mentioned in some earlier articles). It was handwritten and had five clauses. 1. The said William Gooding or Mortgagee of Edwin Gould agrees to sell and the said John Barnstable agrees to purchase at the price of Six Hundred and Seventy Pounds All that messuage or dwellinghouse Closes of land and premises comprised in the Indenture of Mortgage under which the said William Gooding claims as Mortgagee situate at Brent Knoll aforesaid and lately in the occupation of Edwin Gould. 2. The said John Barnstable shall accept the title under which the said William Gooding now holds the property. 3. The Conveyance to the said John Barnstable shall be prepared by Edward Gooding of Bridgwater, Solicitor at the cost of the said William Gooding. 4. The said William Gooding will advance to the said John Barnstable upon mortgage of the said property the sum of Five hundred and fifty pounds at four pounds per cent per annum Interest and such mortgage shall contain a proviso that if the interest on the said sum is punctually paid the principal money shall not be called in for 5 years from the date of the mortgage. 5. The purchase is to be completed and the purchase money paid on the 21st day of December instant. As witness the hands of the parties the day and year first before mentioned. It is actually signed by John Barnstable, but E. E. S. Gooding, the son, signs as agent for William Gooding and someone called Chas E. Hagon is a witness to the signing, which presumably took place at the same time. Continued on page 20 20

Brent Knoll House Histories – Continued This document has a number of interesting points about it, including why it was thought necessary to have an agreement two weeks before the conveyance actually happened. It is obvious that Edwin Gould has already moved, as it states that it was “lately in his occupation” and the census of 1891 places him back in Brent Street as a Farmer – he is now 68 years old. The earlier history (recorded in the BKN at the beginning of 2012) discussing Kennet House (The Baker’s Tale) mentioned that John Barnstable was living in Church Street when he took over the Post Office there. He and his wife, Anne, had four children, the oldest being 25 years old in 1887 and the youngest 15 years old. We know that the eldest, Julia, was still living at home and the remainder were young men by now. So, maybe the house in Church Street was getting a little small for their family, the Post Office and shop gave them sufficient income to afford a larger place and they wished to get the move completed before the Christmas rush in the Post Office. This would also explain (as mentioned in the earlier article) why John was not interested in the purchase of Kennet House at the initial auction. As this document states, he would still have a mortgage from this place to settle before loading himself with a further financial burden. There lies another interesting point, as it was unusual at that time to explicitly state that he hoped to settle only after a five year period. Was this clause inserted because of the problems with the former owner of the property? Or was it to help John get established in his relatively new Post Office business? Presumably John did complete within the time scale, but it may have affected his ability to service an additional mortgage acquired when he does purchase Kennet House privately in 1891 for £400. That happens only four years from the time of this agreement and, notably, some of the mortgage on that house of £350 was still outstanding at the time of his death in 1904. It also explains why he rented out the living part of Kennet House to various curates, which would help him pay the interest and some capital repayment, which he did manage. Note that E. S. S. Gooding (William’s son) is now considered a solicitor, although it does seem a little unusual to have a son acting on behalf of both his father, as vendor, and of the purchaser, John Barnstable. Notably it is the father who has responsibility to pay for his son’s work, with nothing being paid by Barnstable. Does this indicate he is helping to set him up in business and, therefore, is reluctant to ask Barnstable for a contribution? The document refers to the title “under which the said William Gooding claims as Mortgagee”, and expects John Barnstable to “accept the title under which William Gooding now holds the property”, a clear indication that he has foreclosed on Edwin Gould. All in all it looks as though William Gooding is trading a poor risk for a more solid risk, as he is receiving very little in actual cash (and the total only what he was owed), as there is a £550 mortgage to Barnstable agreed as part of the deal. When the conveyance is completed it also includes one other interesting phrase, which is that the estate is in fee simple in possession (i.e. freehold), free from any incumbrances (sic) except certain Rhine work or the rate charged upon the said hereditaments in lieu thereof.

Wartime Memories - Continued Mr Geoffrey Ham interviewed on 17th June 2014. The food was not very good and the Americans were envied for the quality and quantity of their food. Coconuts helped the diet. The men also constructed small boats which gave them a break from being stuck on the island. After about two days on the island, Geoff met the son of Dr Wade of Highbridge. Dr Wade was Geoff’s doctor when he was a child. Geoff played football against a team from the visiting HMS Ruler. At the end, one of the men came up to Geoff and said, “You’re playing a long way from home”. He recognised an acquaintance Jack Vile from Rooksbridge. It’s a small world. Another man on the island was a vicar, Bernard Brown from Weston super Mare whom Geoff visited several times after the war. Letters received were a highlight for the troops. At the end of the war Geoff returned to Sydney where one night, in a hotel, he saw, coming down the stairs, one of his boyhood friends, Doug Payne who was on HMS Slinger a Light Fleet Carrier. Naturally they celebrated with a few beers. Doug lives near Sydney, Australia and Geoff is still in contact with him on a weekly basis even after all this time. At the war’s end, Geoff went on to Singapore where emaciated prisoners of war were picked up. He learnt of Japanese soldiers tying women and children to trees and using them for bayonet practice. Naturally this made a huge impression on Geoff and his fellow mates and was a situation they would find it difficult to come to terms with or even forget. He has, however, fond memories of the island of Ponam of the camaraderie with his fellow men, of the strong discipline and the bonds of friendship and loyalty which existed at that difficult time. He regarded it as an amazing experience. Also at Singapore they collected an army major prisoner who had co- operated with the Japanese. He was being taken home for trial. Somewhere in the Mediterranean he was mysteriously lost overboard. The Association of Old Boys of Ponam Island ran for several years but has now ceased to exist as there are so few contacts left. On his return to he arrived in Portsmouth on HMS Slinger on Christmas Eve 1945 and managed to get a train to Brent Knoll. On arrival he made tracks for the Red Cow where he met an acquaintance, Mr Gamlin, who lived near Geoff, so it was only natural to celebrate with a victory drink or two. After closing time Geoff got a lift in a Morris 8 car but found no one at home. So he had to stay the night with his friend. When his friend’s wife brought him a cup of tea in bed the next morning Geoff he realised he still had all his uniform on including his boots. He considers it to be very sad that there are still so many wars today in which it seems that the ordinary people are the ones who suffer the most. Geoff has a lot of information in a folder about his experiences in the Second World War, in particular of his time on Ponam Island. This makes very interesting reading. Above all, in spite of the many unpleasant things he witnessed, Geoff remembers that the spirit among the men and officers was good and he looks back on his time on the Pacific Island of Ponam with affection. It was an unbelievable experience which came out of the blue for him. BDF 29

First off, we went to see “The Hundred Foot Journey”, Helen Mirren is always good and the Indian actors also gave great performances, especially the father character, who opened a restaurant in France, having refurbished a tumbledown house. The only problem – a very smart French cuisine restaurant exactly opposite, in fact one hundred feet away. With a little romance, some wonderful humour and a certain pathos, eventually the Indian restaurant thrived, the son who was the chef went off to Paris to work, but came back to run his father’s place. Well worth watching. I hope you saw it. Last few days in September, and a plethora of things to watch. Deidre and I went to see “Billy Elliott” in a live performance from the Victoria Palace. Amazing! So well done, you feel as if you are part of the audience in the theatre and clap the musical numbers even though the actors can’t hear. (I missed “Madam Butterfly” as it was booked up, but it is coming back on October 23rd, as it was so popular). After considerable research (!) we went to see our great favourite Colin Firth in “Before I go to sleep” – what a different Colin Firth. Not at all like Mr Darcy – slapping Nicole Kidman about, attacking her with the intention of killing her, having done it years before but left her alive. She was treated, but had a memory problem – every day she woke up with no knowledge of anything that had gone before. Each day, she built up memories, but overnight they are wiped out. Colin Firth played her husband – but was he? As she began to be helped by a Dr Nash, psychologist, she had little flashes of memories – a friend, Claire; a baby; a man with a scar; an attack. “Husband” told her she had an accident; the baby died of meningitis when 8; the friends melted away; can she trust him? The end – Colin Firth takes her to a hotel for their anniversary – the same hotel where she was attacked, and tries again, but this time she fights hard and manages to knock him out with an iron (kitchen appliance sort!). In hospital her real husband visits and brings their son, Adam. Fancy – our Colin tells lies and is a very nasty piece of work! First full week in October – we have 2 films to fit in, so the Silver screen on Tuesday will see us for the first time and on Thursday we shall be there again, seeing “Pride” and “What we did on holiday” respectively. Tell you about those next month. The trailers look very funny. Pauline Chadwick 32

Lympsham Gardening Club After beautiful weather in September, October has brought Autumn in with a rush. Leaves are turning to gold and Summer flowering plants losing their colour. So, Hilary Cox’s talk about Winter Plants at our October meeting was well timed. Pansies & Violas, Primroses & Polyanthus were her main suggestions for colour. Pansies and their smaller relative Violas, which maybe slightly scented, can be treated in the same way. When transplanting, do remember to hold them by their leaves and not their stems. Just because they are Winter flowering, do not forget that they do like being fed when planting, using something like slow release Osmocote in pots and baskets or Fish, Blood and Bone in garden beds. They can get ‘leggy’ and benefit by having long stems removed. They usually recover to flower again in about 3 weeks. Do you know the difference between Primroses and Polyanthus? Must admit that I didn’t. Primroses have single flowers on single stems thrown up from the centre of the plant while Polyanthus send up a strong stem with a mass of flowers at the top of the stem. On the subject of hanging baskets and pots, Hilary suggested that plenty of crocks for drainage should be placed in the bottom of them. Don’t forget to give them a little water from time to time especially after a frosty spell as frosts are drying. Other suggestions for baskets and pots are small firs, Ajugas, Thyme and Sage. These can be under planted with bulbs like Crocus, and dwarf varieties of Daffodils and Tulips. When Winter is over, all these can be planted out in garden beds for flowering in future years. This meeting was well attended and it was nice to welcome visitors who are new to Lympsham. Why don’t you join us to see if you enjoy our meetings?.

News from the Primary This term, the children at the Primary have shown a real passion for getting involved in school life and it’s been a real pleasure to see how so many are prepared to ‘give it a go’, not always in the most obvious activities. Just a few weeks ago, several children from all year groups put themselves forward to becoming members of the School Council. In a contest that would have made many adults just a little nervous, children prepared, wrote and then read out their manifestos to the rest of the school. A secret ballot followed and a Council was duly elected. Being on the Council is not just an honorary post. Council members, for example, play a key part in staff interviews and their views on potential teachers are taken most seriously by the school governors. To ‘give it a go’ has been very much in evidence at recent sports events. With little previous experience to go on, a team of runners bravely took part in the first cross- country event of the year at Rugby Club. Finding out what 1500 metres actually feels like on a cold and windy afternoon was a revelation for many! What is particularly pleasing to see, however, is how many of this group have since joined up to the school’s new running club and have volunteered to have another go at the next 1500 metre event to be held at The King Alfred School in a few day’s time. Showing similar fortitude, our girls’ and boys’ football teams have taken part in very challenging competitions at The Blake School, Bridgwater. The girls have done well as have the boys, who are now going forward to a second round of games in the local Sedgemoor league. We wish them the best of luck and, as ever, are very grateful for the support of parents in supporting their children’s efforts. Chris Burman Gone are the days Gone are the days when you could buy a house for £4000, beer was one and ten a pint, that’s one shilling and ten old pence, songs had words you could understand as well as tunes you liked, when it snowed at Christmas, not in April, but that was then. Now, more and more are renting and you have to go to the bank before going out for a pint and as for music you cannot hear the words, never mind remember the tune. Talking of remembering, getting older brings with it a vast store of knowledge, gained over time, but this is just one small problem. An example of this is when I am watching an international game of Rugby with a friend, we pride ourselves with knowing all the names of the English team, and we just cannot remember them! and what about reading glasses, as we get a little older, we need them to read the paper, do the crossword and use the remote control, but glasses also bring some pitfalls, for a start, where are they! It sometimes seems that a mischievous ghost will hide them in some obscure place, sometimes within seconds of putting them down, and what about the time spent wandering around the house looking for them only to find them on your head. Getting a chain to hang around your neck is an idea but do bear in mind you may catch them on the door or cupboard handles, easily garrotting yourself in the process, and do remember the old chap who needed glasses for everything, when he lost them he could not look for them until he found them.

Afternoon Tea Party – Sunday 16th November at 3pm An afternoon tea party is being held in the village for people aged 75 and over to tackle loneliness for people who live alone and have little or no contact with family and friends. The tea party will be held on a Sunday offering a regular and vital friendship link every month with the first one commencing on Sunday 16th November at 3pm. The aim is to bring people together, develop fulfilling friendships and support networks and give everyone involved something to look forward to each month. If you would be interested in supporting this initiative by becoming a volunteer, coordinator or host then it would be greatly appreciated. You can volunteer with your car as a driver to collect a guest each month and take them to the host’s home for the afternoon. The idea is that the driver remains with the guest and therefore committing to three to four hours one Sunday each month. For further information or venue details to attend the tea party then please contact Kim Wilcox, Village Agent on 07943 555519 or [email protected] Kim Holywell Nursing Home Christmas Coffee morning Monday 1st December at 10.30am-12.30pm Christmas gifts, raffle, guess the weight of the cake, bric-a-brac, etc. Christmas cards in aid of The Children’s Hospice, South West.

BRENT KNOLL GUIDES Brent Knoll guides had a great camp in the Summer. We went to a Scout Association site, Woodhouse Park in Almondsbury, and a great time was had by all. The site has a great high ropes course there, which the guides enjoyed; they also did rifle shooting, archery, go-carting, and bush craft. This term we are focusing on two challenges, a World War 1 project in which the guides have made a potato based soup, they have used recycled paper to make various items, and are researching the servicemen from Brent Knoll who fell in WW1 and hope to make a display for our noticeboard in the Parish Hall with the information they find out. The other is a Girlguiding initiative called Night at the Theatre. We have already had a ‘behind the scenes’ tour of the Playhouse Theatre in Weston-super-Mare and visited Catherine Bartlett School of Irish Dancing where all the guides had a go at Irish Dancing. Last Saturday a coach full of guides and leaders from Brent Knoll attended the Girlguiding Big Gig at Wembley. This is an annual pop concert for Girlguiding members (aged 10 and over) only. The guides thoroughly enjoyed the acts at the concert -Diversity, Little Mix, Union J, Stacy Solomon and several others. We look forward to the next few weeks and the lead up to Christmas when we will be serving at the Harvest Supper, attending the Remembrance Sunday Service and each guide will be making their family’s Christmas cake. Jane Sinnott “Talbot House” A Musical Play At Saint Michael’s Church 7.30pm Saturday 8th November This Play forms a central part of the Parish Commemoration of the start of World War 1. Talbot House was a “Home from Home” established in Poperinge, Belgium, a few miles behind the front line and became a haven for thousands of allied troops. It was run by The Reverend “Tubby” Clayton and became known by the army signallers code as “Toc H” The play gives a brief history of the house with the aid of music and poetry of the Great War and the atmosphere felt by the troops that visited it. Tickets available from Brent Knoll Post Office 01278 760 225 or from 01278 760 308. Adults £8.00, Children £4.00.

“200+ CLUB” – 2015 There is now only one draw left in 2014, the CRACKING CHRISTMAS DRAW, which will take place at the Parish Hall, at our Christmas Bazaar and Farmers’ Market, on Saturday 13th December. There will be 17 prizes - 1 x £120, 1 x £60, 2 x £ 40, 3 x £20, 2 x £16, 2 x £12, 2 x £10, 2 x £8 and 2 x £6, totalling £424!!. In the 2014 “200+ Club” we had 233 members, holding 340 numbers. Of the £4,080 income received, by the end of the year £1,768 will have been paid out in prize money and £2,292 will have gone to the Parish Hall, (the balance of £20, is the cost of the licence for running the 200+ Club). As we had over 100 numbers, we were able to give extra £20, £16, £12, £10, £8 and £6 prizes each month and extra prizes at the June and Christmas draws. The More Members the Merrier for ALL!!. In the last 17 years the “200+ Club” has raised over £32,000. We would like to run the “200+ Club” again in 2015 to help us to continue to maintain and improve the Parish Hall and to continue to pay back the approximately £43,000 still owing on the Charity Bank loan that enabled us to complete the “Jubilee Room” opened in 2012.

Brent Knoll Weather Report – September 2014 September this year was notable for a complete absence of low pressure systems, which in turn led to a lack of wind and rain, and also for its warmth. It was the warmest September we have recorded here, and about 0.4°C warmer than August. The average pressure for September was 1018.8hPa, which is a little above normal but nothing exceptional. What is more significant is that the barometric pressure saw little variation during the month – the minimum was 1006.7hPa and the maximum 2017.3, a much narrower range than we would expect to see with no really high pressure and, more significantly, no low pressure systems. Hence we saw a long period of quiet, settled weather, while the Atlantic lows with their wind and rain were pushed well to our north. In general it was not warm enough to generate the convective thunderstorms that we saw during the Summer: but around the 18th it looked as if we might get a soaking when warm, humid air was drawn up from the continent in a re-run of July’s sultry weather. There were thunderstorms over the Bristol Channel, and lightning could be seen in the night sky: but although there was heavy rain in some surrounding areas, none fell here. In the end we recorded rain on just four days during the month, and this was by far the driest September on record here with 17.4mm (0.7in) - that’s about one-third of the average for the month. The scarecrows were no doubt grateful for a dry weekend. Even more remarkable was the absence of wind. The maximum gust recorded for the whole of September was a gentle 15.7kts (18mph) on 1st September. The wind run (in effect, the total distance covered by the wind during the month) was just 309.4nm (356m) which is by far the lowest figure we have recorded. To put that figure into perspective the average wind run for September is 1937nm (2,230m), and the previous low was 691nm in October 2007. This September was exceptionally calm. Although high pressure dominated throughout the month, there was often a blanket of cloud with no wind to blow it away. Nonetheless the average temperature for the month of 16°C (61°F) was about 1.5°C above normal for the time of year, and it was the warmest September recorded here. The maximum was 26.2°C (79°F) on the 18th – not quite a record for September, but a respectable effort. The high rainfall totals early in the year have meant that, until now, we have had a record cumulative rainfall total for 2014. That has now changed, but only just - up to the end of September we had recorded 695.8mm (27.4in) of rain, whereas at this point in 2008 we had recorded 701.8mm. For those who remember 2012 as the year of the deluge, at this point in that year we had recorded 641mm - it was the high rainfall for the last quarter that made 2012 our wettest year to date. Let’s hope we don’t get a repeat performance.

More Ramblings of a Rambler First I must apologise to my followers, I’ve let you down by not producing an October ramble. I know both of you enjoy going away in your camper van and using my ramble to send you off to sleep. I apologise once again for your sleepless trips, (I don’t know why I am doing this as I expect you are asleep already). I have not been too far these last few weeks as my dog has strained a shoulder muscle and is running on three legs; she is as peeved as I am at not being able to enjoy long walks. The swallows have flown and yet there would have been plenty of insects for them had they stayed, the fine weather continues as I am writing this report and the days are now shortening. Along with the shorter days comes the chance to see animals that are nocturnal, these appear as the light grows dimpsy, (nice Somerset word). They have to make use of every hour of the long night as food is more difficult to find, so make sure your poultry will not be an easy target. Owls can be heard regularly in the village but as yet none have made a home in either of the owl boxes recently erected. Now that Autumn is here, it’s time to read the book you always meant to read, or make a visit to the theatre or cinema. At the end of this month a group of wandering thespians are alighting at the Parish Hall. Apparently this group holds several awards for acting, including the oldest actor and the oldest joke told. They act under the name of BAD which I’m told stands for Brent Amateur Dramatics. I have heard that their acting is unbelievable and a pleasure not to be missed, so book early, you will not be disappointed. Why not exercise your chuckle muscles and join them on the 28th or 29th of this month. The Rambler
