The Team Vicar Writes The November is a month of remembrance. Good old Guy Fawkes on the 5th (though I suspect to most it’s simply ‘Bonfire Night’ and less so connected to the Gunpowder Plotter from 400 years ago). Team Then we have Remembrance Sunday on the 8th November (a day to commemorate the contribution of British and Commonwealth Vicar military and civilian servicemen and women in the two World Wars and later conflicts) and on the 11th Remembrance or Armistice Day (the anniversary of the end of hostilities in the First world War at 11 Writes... am in 1918). On the first of the month we celebrate All Saints’ Day, which comes the day after the now widely popular Halloween (deriving its name from the eve of All Saints - All Hallows Eve) and on the 2nd All Souls’ Day, commemorating all those who have died. All these are specific, singled-out times for remembrance – some national, some in the Christian church. And yet remembrance means something different to us all and is important because it roots us in who we are. The memories of those we love but see no longer may be vivid and still raw, or may be fond but faded over time and as I preside at Remembrance Services year after year I am mindful that each person in front of me has a different memory; their own story revived in that moment of remembrance. This year All Saints Day falls on Sunday 1st November and we commemorate both All Saints and All Souls on that day. In addition to the usual morning services, there will be a special service for All Souls at 3 pm at St Martin’s Church, Martinstown. During that service there will be time and space to remember loved ones now departed, to hear their name read out and to light a candle in commemoration. All are welcome.

Thank you also to Charlotte Crocker, who asked the guests at her wedding on 10th October to bring contributions to the Food Bank – an original and wonderful gesture. (The weight of these 2 collections in my car put it right down on the springs and was a magnificent effort which has a made a very real difference to the stocks available for distribution to those in need.) This month and next, the Food Bank focuses on Christmas, so please include a few seasonal items among the things you buy. Many thanks – John Crawford.

  • The Team Rector Writes
    The Team Rector Writes... Dear Friends, When Bishop Nicholas visited the deaneries of the Diocese during Lent 2015 to develop our conversation around the vision RENEWING HOPE – PRAY, SERVE, GROW, he challenged us with three questions: What do you pray for? Whom do we serve? How will you grow? Questions that might at a first glance seem easy to answer: I want to encourage you to take time this Advent to look at those questions and allow yourselves to be more challenged than you expect! Advent and Christmas are seasons for the renewing of hope and I wonder whether we might try sharing our stories of hope with each other, as we seek to tell the greatest story of hope? At the start of diocesan meetings we now spend time sharing our stories of hope, talking about the things that have given us hope recently. First a candle is lit as the centre of the meeting – symbol of Christ’s presence in our midst; the Bible is read and studied; then people tell one another their stories. Simple but profound and challenging too! It is easy to be busy and preoccupied by the needs and demands of the day, especially in preparation for Christmas! But how life giving and holy it is to seek out and name those moments when hope has erupted. For some Christmas is unbounded joy and excitement, for others it is painful and troubling. However, it is the moment when we reflect on the truth that God became a human being; forever to experience our joys and sorrows alongside us.

  • Water Situation Report Wessex Area
    Monthly water situation report Wessex Area Summary – November 2020 Wessex received ‘normal’ rainfall in November at 84% LTA (71 mm). There were multiple bands of rain throughout November; the most notable event occurred on the 14 November, when 23% of the month’s rain fell. The last week of November was generally dry. The soil moisture deficit gradually decreased throughout November, ending the month on 7 mm, which is higher than the deficit this time last year, but lower than the LTA. When compared to the start of the month, groundwater levels at the end of November had increased at the majority of reporting sites. Rising groundwater levels in the Chalk supported the groundwater dominated rivers in the south, with the majority of south Wessex reporting sites experiencing ‘above normal’ monthly mean river flows, whilst the surface water dominated rivers in the north had largely ‘normal’ monthly mean flows. Daily mean flows generally peaked around 14-16 November in response to the main rainfall event. The dry end to November caused a recession in flows, with all bar two reporting sites ending the month with ‘normal’ daily mean flows. Total reservoir storage increased, with Wessex Water and Bristol Water ending November with 84% and 83%, respectively. Rainfall Wessex received 71 mm of rainfall in November (84% LTA), which is ‘normal’ for the time of year. All hydrological areas received ‘normal’ rainfall bar the Axe (69% LTA; 61 mm) and West Somerset Streams (71% LTA; 79 mm), which had ‘below normal’ rainfall. The highest rainfall accumulations (for the time of year) were generally in the east and south.

  • Catchment Report 2015
    Catchment report 2015 www.wessexwater.co.uk Introduction Welcome to the first edition of our annual catchment report. In the past water authorities organised themselves according to river catchments and often controlled land use around water sources to prevent contamination of groundwater. However, after privatisation the focus shifted to upgrading water and sewage treatment infrastructure to provide greater guarantees that drinking water and effluent standards would be met within short timescales. While major improvements were made to the quality of our drinking water and treated effluent, they came at a high price in terms of capital and operational costs such as additional treatment chemicals and an increased carbon footprint, due to the energy used. More recently, there has been an upsurge in interest in catchment management as a less resource-intensive way to protect groundwater, streams and rivers. Since 2005 we have been carrying out catchment work in cooperation with farmers to optimise nutrient and pesticide inputs to land. This often means dealing with the causes of problems by looking at land use, management practices and even the behaviour of individuals. Addressing the issue at source is much more sustainable than investing in additional water treatment that is expensive to build and operate and leaves the problem in the environment. At the same time we have been amassing data on the condition of the rivers and estuaries in our region to ensure that any subsequent investment is proportional and based on solid evidence. We have also been working on different ways to engage with the public and influence behaviour to help protect water supplies and sewers and, in turn, the water environment.
