Shapwick News November 2017 Issue 275 Shapwick News November 2017 Issue 275 See inside for more photographs and a write up on the St. Mary’s Flower Festival. Shapwick Starlets WI Sue Sellick Such an interesting speaker this month, Laura Carpenter who is a Medical Herbalist runs clinics in Tiverton and Wellington. Herbal medicine is the use of plant based medicines to restore and maintain health. It is the oldest form of medicine in the world with over 80% of the world's population using herbal medicine as their only form of medicine (WHO statistic). Did you know that Thyme reduces coughs, Rosemary is a memory booster and relieves headaches and Cinnamon balances blood sugar and soothes coughs? We were all inspired to go home and make onion syrup which is useful if you have a cold and will definitely be ready to ward off the next one with Fire Cider! Half a teaspoon a day will do the trick. Clove oil is poisonous but clove buds can be used to make a mouth wash. We will no doubt be inviting Laura back another time as we were all keen to learn more. Our Driftwood workshop was very successful, a full house, and we all came away with 'one we have made earlier'. It is surprising how difficult it is to decide on the perfect pieces of driftwood and shells and there was lots of swapping going on. And so much cake, what is not to like? Shapwick Starlets Roadshow kicks off on Tuesday 7th Spectators enjoying the recent 20:20 match. November, meeting at 7.30pm in the King William Inn, Catcott for our first Knit and Natter event. Please come along as this is open to anyone who fancies a drink and a chat, and you don't even have to be able to knit! Our November meeting is on Tuesday 14th November when we will be having a Christmas craft evening. And of course there will be mulled wine and mince pies. St Mary's Flower Festival Friday 22 - Sunday 24 September 2017 Helen Wade Thursday 21 September was an important, if a little nervous day, for the seventeen flower arrangers who were to put into action their plans for the Festival of Flowers in St Mary's Church Shapwick. For the early arranger, the first challenge was to transfer from the car all the foliage, flowers and accessories to augment the theme, in torrential rain! Inside a flurry of activity to remove furniture and clear windows in readiness for the transformation from a still beautiful open space to one of hubbub, expectation, amazement and even more beauty on the theme of "....We Give Thanks For..." Displays: 'Our Wonderful World', 'A Cup of Tea', 'Trees', 'Memories', 'Bread', 'Needle & Thread', 'Birth of a Baby', 'Bees', 'Love', ' Garden', 'Harvest', 'Fishermen', 'Sunshine', 'Her Majesty - Our Queen', 'Farming', Countryside' encapsulated just some of the things for which it would be good to give thanks for every day - especially living here on the Polden Hills. By 2pm on Friday all was ready and by 2.15 the first visitors began to arrive - as did the cakes...more cakes...and yet more!! For the three days we were open, we were truly blessed to see more visitors than ever - and so many were able to stay awhile, sit, look, chat and enjoy refreshments in all I can say was a true village community event which, I am delighted to say raised over £900. On Saturday evening forty-seven of us also had the pleasure of hearing our vicar Rich relate some of the marvels of the universe through his eyes as a previous astro-physicist and then a glimpse of his passion as a photographer for birds and wildlife - as well as enjoying a two course supper together. On Sunday morning there was another opportunity to give thanks again and worship our amazing God at a Patronal Harvest Service. Words are small - so the words 'thank you' do not adequately express the thoughts of the writer to ALL the people who put into this weekend part of themselves: the flower arrangers; presenter; cooks and cake makers; stewards; washer-uppers; cleaners; gofors behind the scenes; the myriad of workers who put on an event of which I was proud to be a part. Hi folks, On Monday, many people noticed that there was an eerie atmosphere around, with a strange light and a strong wind blowing. It would have made a great opening for a disaster movie – or a prelude to an alien spaceship landing! In reality the red light was caused by dust dragged up from the Sahara by Hurricane Ophelia, and obscuring the Sun. This set me thinking… how often do we let things obscure our view of God’s Son? Sometimes it may be genuine theological issues: why does God allow suffering, for example? (as with the hurricanes last month). Or it may be our own experiences which, for one reason or another, have led us to a negative impression of who God is. I don’t for a moment want to underplay that. The red sun over Somerset on Monday. Photo: Len Copland / Western Gazette However, sometimes it’s more minor stuff: maybe we allow the busyness of our own lives to obstruct our view. Even church stuff can get in the way: we’re so busy that we don’t allow time for the most important thing, which is to develop our relationship with God. And yes, even vicars can be in danger of letting church stuff get in the way! But if, as I believe, the good news of God’s Son is the most important reality that we should be engaging with, then – where we easily can – we should make time to get a clearer view of him.

  • Village Design Statement
    Catcott Village Design Statement Manor Road circa 1900 Catcott Village Design Statement Index Foreword 3 Introduction 4 Description Historic & Economic Background 5 Description Landscape & Geography 6 Design Guidelines Landscape & Geography 7 Description Settlement Pattern & Character 8 Design Guidelines Settlement Pattern & Character 12 Description Buildings 1 3 Design Guidelines Buildings 20 Description Highways & Services 23 Design Guidelines Highways & Services 2 4 Involvement of the community 25 Acknowledgements 26 2 Foreword The villages of Somerset have seen great changes in recent decades. Where once families lived for generations in the same place, greater mobility and wider opportunities have led to much greater diversity. At the same time an increasing population and, even more importantly, smaller family units, have led to a pressure to build. With this has come awareness by local people of the need to retain the special characteristics of where they live, while adapting to current circumstances. Villages depend on so many things for their atmosphere and quality of life: the history and style of the buildings, the setting – roads and footpaths, vegetation and street furniture – as well as the residents, community activities and the services provided within the village. In this Village Design Statement residents have come together to identify a key element, the design and layout of Catcott In the past, the main opportunities to influence planning decisions have rested with the Parish Council. This Design Statement is the first opportunity the community as a whole has had to think about the built fabric of their community, and so have an important role in decision- making. I have enjoyed reading Catcott’s plan, and the consultation process that has led to it, and sincerely hope that the District Council will find it a useful and reliable tool.

  • July/August 2021
    JULY/AUGUST 2021 Hi folks, In early June a local friend texted me to say that a River Warbler had appeared at Ham Wall – the first in England for ten years. It was a Saturday and the sermon still needed to be written, but on Sunday, after the services were over, I sped drove carefully over there. It was a bird you could hear before seeing it – a loud grasshopper-like trill – but it wasn’t hard to spot, either, as it had conveniently decided to perch close to the footpath to the Avalon Hide. Even luckier for me – it decided to land on a reed almost opposite where I was standing! The thought struck me then – what if church were to be more like this? What if we were habitually on the alert for where the Holy Spirit might be particularly evident and acting powerfully? What if we were more like expectant birders responding to a new rarity, going straight to where we might experience more of God’s acting in power? Sometimes events do occur which appear to be inspired by the Holy Spirit – will we be among the expectant ones or among the sceptics? Regular weekly worship is really important – I wouldn’t be a vicar if I didn’t believe this passionately! (Likewise, rare birds wouldn’t be discovered without birdwatchers regularly monitoring their local patches, day by day, week by week!) But I wonder what it would be like if, alongside our regular worship, we were more expectant for God in his grace to act powerfully in unexpected ways, in unexpected places – and then to respond to this with eagerness?
