10 CHURCH NEWS Message from the Rev. Sandra Lovern
This year we remember then and reflect on now. We remember the service and sacrifice made by so many peoples, communities and nations 75 years ago, and we reflect on the service and sacrifice of so many today. (Quote from the Royal British Legion)
Dear friends Remembrance Day approaches. This year we have been unable to commemorate significant WWII anniversaries as we normally would – 80 years since the Battle of Britain, and 75 since VE Day, VJ Day and the end of the war worldwide - and Remembrance Sunday will likewise be constrained. But remember we will, in whatever way possible, those who served their country in time of war and conflict, and gave their lives for us.
The Church acknowledges that this year remembrance has an added poignancy, with so many people grieving for lost loved ones through illness and at the hands of Covid-19. Many now share the pain of war-time families who were un- able to be with their loved ones at the end, or to say goodbye to them at the funeral they would have wished to hold.
Our armed forces are generously aware of how others suffer, and at Westminster Abbey in September, RAF chaplain-in-chief, the Venerable Air Vice-Marshal John Ellis, gave honour to NHS staff and key workers in their "fight against an invisible army," drawing comparisons between the Battle of Britain and the coronavirus pandemic, stating: "Once again there have been sacrifices made, often quiet, often humble, unnoticed by many. Although starkly different events, each of them has two things that are so important for our humanity - service and value. We have seen the selfless giving to a greater cause," he added.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we shall remember them.
May God bless and keep you all, and comfort all who grieve. Reverend Sandra.
11 The Lakeside Group: Ways to remember in 2020 November is traditionally a time of remembering. Normally, we would gather in church to think about those we have loved but see no longer, and then, later in the month, we think of those who have died or been injured on active service.
In this very different this year we will still remember them, but it may mean you taking time at home to stop and think, rather than being in a church building. In our six churches you can: Attend services, if one is shown on the schedule - but numbers will be very limited, so please consider whether you should travel out of parish, or leave space for local residents to attend. Attend the Lakeside online service at 10.30am. You will need to go online and register with ‘the meditation chapel’. You can then see the calendar and log onto the Church of England service. Drop in to your parish church on the dates they advertise for individual private prayer. Visit churchofengland.org/prayers-for-the-moment to help you pray and remember those who you knew and loved but have lost, either recently or long ago. Visit churchofengland.org/prayers-for-remembrance to help you pray and remember the fallen from your home, or wherever you’d like to sit quietly. Mark the two-minute time of silence at 11 o’clock on November 11th on your doorstep. Use the reflection and prayer we offer to pray and think and remember. We hope you can join us and experience the love and peace of God at this special time of year.
A Remembrance Day Reflection and Prayer For you to print off and use on Remembrance Day / Sunday
Look at your poppy: such bright, cheerful flowers. Give thanks to God for the lives of those who have died in war, remembering all the joy they brought to families and friends, and all the good things they did for their home and country.
Look at the red petals: red reminds us of danger and harm. Ask God to be close to those who still face danger each day, to give courage to the armed forces, and compassion to all who help others.
12 Place your whole hand over the poppy: poppies are fragile and need to be handled gently. God cares for those who are hurting or sad. Ask God to comfort all who are grieving the loss of someone they love.
Finally, place a finger on the centre of the poppy. Pray for God’s help to play your part in working for world peace. [From Revd Cannon Sandra Millar]
Prayer Oh God of truth and justice, we hold before you those people who have been injured or died on active service. As we honour their service and cherish their memory, may we put our faith in your future; for you are the source of love peace and hope, now and forever. Amen.

CHEW VALLEY LOCAL HISTORY SOCIETY Tombstones, apart from representing sad events, can often tell a fascinating story and this one in the northern area of the churchyard of St Andrew’s Church, Chew Magna gives us a little insight into some social history. John Tombs, ’ Yeoman’, died just coming up to the turn of the 19th century. At that time a Yeoman was almost certainly a minor landowner but not of the gentry. He lived in Chew Park in the Parish of Chew Magna but where is Chew Park? The surname Tombs is unusual but - just a variant of Toms but not so unusual at the time in this area but the majority of the Tombs’s lived in Gloucestershire. John Tombs and his wife Ann died at what would now be regarded as a relatively young age; he at 57 and she at 62 years. Not so young, however, by the standards of the day. Throughout Europe from 1500 to 1800 the average life expectancy was 30 to 40 years and in the 1841 census the average male lived 40 years and female 43 years. Perhaps the sad- dest and most poignant part of the inscription however is the last three lines “And also four of their Children who died in their Infancy” a portrait of the times! Despite these difficult times our Society lives on; no news of meetings yet but we have speakers for the 2021-2020 Winter Lecture Season all lined up. Stay Safe! Russell Peters.

Email: [email protected] 17 Supporting the RNLI As with many organisations during the pandemic, the Chew Valley Fundraising Branch of RNLI has been unable to carry out their vital fund raising activities . Through our local events, store and box collections and other dona- tions, we normally raise up to £10,000 a year. So far this year we have managed to achieve only £1850, with little prospect of adding significantly more. We are obviously disappointed, as the wellbeing and success of RNLI rest entirely on the generosity of public donations. That is the only source of revenue. The vast majority of crew members are ordinary people who are unpaid volunteers, prepared to venture out in all conditions to save lives at sea. They deserve the very best. . In the current situation with travel abroad being restricted, we are likely to continue to experience ever greater pressure on our beaches and coastline, meaning ever more demand for help and rescue over the next few years. Our committee is appealing to anyone wishing to materially support the RNLI to get in touch, either through the web site rnli.org or by contacting our Secretary, Tim Gracey [email protected] , for details of how to donate. If you want to see the work of these intrepid crews close up, then the BBC 2 documentary “Saving Lives at Sea” will give you all the reasons to support the RNLI. Thank you.

A few weeks ago a special service was held at the school to celebrate Harvest. The weather was kind to us, so we were able to bring the whole school together, socially distanced outside. Our classes provided a mixture of songs, poems, read- ings and prayers.
The children brought tinned and dried food for the Harvest Appeal of the Com- munity of the Sisters of the Church to support their work at the food bank in St Pauls. We had a very generous collection of food and we were pleased that we were able to work alongside St Andrew’s Church with the donations.

19 A Puzzle to tease your brains!
For answer see page 23
20 During lockdown, many of us have enjoyed walking in the surrounding countryside and have appreciated the beautiful wildlife. We have our local farm owners to thank for this and here Lindsey Suenson- Taylor writes of the development of her farmland around Church farm: During the 1980’s Church Farm, now Long House Farm, was a successful mixed family farm of 115 acres. We grew wheat barley and hay with 150 breeding ewes and a commercial pig unit of 100 sows producing weaners. All the usual pesticides and herbicides were fully utilised to maximise profitability.
But in 1990 the set-aside rules allowed a whole farm tree planting project to be under- taken. Over 8000 native species were introduced to create wildlife corridors; an Avenue of small- leaf limes was planted to enhance a public right of way and provide a sheltered habitat for butterflies. BEFORE AND AFTER
Existing areas of woodland were widened and new woodland was created with oak, field maple, hornbeam, ash, cherry and hazel. Former cereal land was left to regenerate naturally into rough grassland vastly ex- tending the habitat available to ground nesting birds and providing hunting grounds for owls and kestrels whose small- mammal prey found a home here.
21 In 1995, 20 hectares of the farm was committed to the Govern- ment’s HABITAT scheme – a 20 year agreement to manage the land for the benefit of wildlife and to enhance biodiversity. Different cutting rotations gave a variety of environments from scrub and wide tall grass margins to short mown grassland preferred by butterflies and moths. This ended in 2016 and but continued in the regime of Higher Tier Countryside Stewardship, under Natural England. In 2018 work began towards the enhancement of wildflower meadows on 10 hectares of grassland. Seasonal grazing by cows is now favoured to help establish the seeds and two further natural ponds have been dug out this July. The following additional projects have been undertaken since 1996 to continue my wildlife-friendly policy for the whole farm: 1998 – a further 3 acres of native trees planted 1999 – a large natural wetland/seasonal pond formed by excavating an existing boggy area 2001 – 400m of new mixed hedgerow was planted and fenced to make additional wildlife corridors and re establish former hedges from the 1904 map that had been removed for cereal growing during the war. 2001 – an old green lane was cleared (with BANES) and re-established as a footpath; this involved carefully moving over 50 tons of earth and stone containing part of a large badger sett and resiting it to the side.
Enormous changes have taken place at Long House Farm over the last thirty years in the way the land is managed for the benefit of wildlife ; the latest being the seeding of 9 hectares of wildflower meadows since 2018.
An increasingly important aspect of protecting and encouraging wildlife here is the sensitive management of people – usually with a dog or two - who use the footpaths crossing the farm. I hope that by clearly defining the public fights of way with signs and fences and mowing when necessary, people will be encouraged to keep to the paths and leave large areas completely undisturbed to allow more ground-nesting birds to breed. This is not always easy on the fringe of a village only 8 miles from Bristol, but this very proximity makes the wildlife habitat even more valuable. Lindsey

If anyone would like one, please contact Alison Hoddell on 332421 or email: [email protected] 22 .Wild life encounters continued from Hazel Wedlake “There was as old woman who swallowed a fly...” and so did I as I puffed across the fields with the dog. You have to be of a certain age to know that song, but for those who do, I didn`t bother with the spider ! However, when walking the dog in the evening, the tiny moths and various insects can be annoying fluttering around my head in the torchlight, but it`s good to know there are still plenty about. Ivy blossom is still a useful pre-winter boost for a lot of insects and I`ve read there is even an ivy bee: yellow and black striped – looking rather like a wasp, but with a ginger“rucksack “ of fur at the top of its thorax. We were puzzled by another species in the Spring. They had a shiny beetle like black abdomen and what looked like a black and white “furry stole “around their “shoulders” I wondered if they were flying ants, but later identified them as Ashy Mining bees commonly nesting in dry borders in small colonies. :Late September was time to check the hives for healthy and fertile queen bees. You need to know whether a queen is present to start laying early in the Spring rather than finding no brood has been started. First you have to find the queen and many tens of thousands workers milling about the hive make this very difficult if not impossible. As Paul opened one hive in late afternoon, the bees were ‘bearding’! This is when bees hang together in rows - the frames giving the appearance of a row of beards hanging in the hive! If and when the queen is found, the idea is to dab a spot of marking paint on her thorax. To do this a small mesh frame is used to hold her still, rather un- fortunately named “ A Crown of Thorns” If you manage to mark your queen, you may be further frustrated by the workers licking off the offending “ paint”. The hive becomes more aggressive towards the end of the year as their priority is to protect their food stores - so one of the workers first actions is to evict the Drones! Since their only purpose was to mate with a queen and ever since have enjoyed free board and lodging, the party`s over - it's time for them to go ! After keeping wasps and hornets out, next is keeping mice out. As you may have heard, a mouse can dislocate its jaw to flatten its head to gain access to flat spaces and the hive entrance size becomes critical. 9mm (1/4”) depth and a grill of panel pins 8mm apart allows bees to enter without knocking the pollen out of their baskets, but a mouse head, flattened or not, is not going to make it !! A sort of Tom & Jerry cartoon picture of the mouse comes to mind! Anyone ?
