In the Beginning… was the Big Splash (also known as the Big Bang). Into the infinite and eternal Pond of Grace was dropped a pebble. Ripples spread across space and time. Light leapt joyfully to fill the darkness. Atoms and molecules joined hands to dance in new arrangements. Stars and galaxies arose rejoicing to ride a passing wave, then collapsed back again. Life bobbed as a beautiful boat on the waves. And the Pond of Grace, deep and wide as the ocean, was filled with goodness. But the pond became muddied. It became harder to peer down through the depths that were once crystal clear. The sun had sparkled off the waves, but now clouds greyed the light, and a chill wind darkened the water’s surface. The expanse of the ocean now seemed fearful. People withdrew to its edges, seeking safety, or even out of it altogether. Yet the ripples of Grace continued, quietly and undeterred, spreading from their eternal source. And above the wind a voice could be heard, a whispered invitation to return to the waves. The adventurous responded, and pushed their boats out from the shore to sea. They felt anew the rise and fall of the swell, and sensed it was good. They rode the surf by the shore. They swam, diving deep and glimpsing the clear depths. They cast a line, and glistening silvery fish tumbled onto the deck. And they rejoiced. Galileo, the famous astronomer, said this: ‘The sun, with all those planets revolving around it and dependent on it, can still ripen a bunch of grapes as if it had nothing else in the universe to do.’ It’s Harvest season. Fields of corn that rippled in the wind have now been brought in. Ripened grapes have been plucked from the vines (few in these parts, perhaps). We are lifted on a seasonal wave of provision and Grace. May we have courage to adventure into the deep ocean of life. To swim and surf and dive in the proverbial depths, that though they may seem murky, we may catch new glimpses of the crystal waters. To feel, perhaps anew, the Grace which surrounds us and carries the world. And know that the Pond of Grace is good.

Playing fields improvements Tell us what you think!

The Parish Council are starting a project to improve the playing fields and would like your ideas for what you would like to see there and your feedback on their initial thoughts. A landscape design showing a possible layout is shown opposite and on the parish website (www.payhemburyparishcouncil.org.uk) and the Council would love to hear your views on that design. The playing fields consist of 4 main areas – the tennis court, the football pitch, the playground and a grassy area to the left of the other three.

Tennis court – this area had a major overhaul a few years ago so the main idea for here is to add a basketball area and hoop.

Football pitch – the current idea is to level this site and tidy up the pitch with suitable goals and markings and to provide a raised banking area between the pitch and the tennis court with seats for watching both tennis and football.

Playground – the Parish Council have some ideas for the sorts of things that are popular in a playground but they would really like to hear, from children of all ages, what you would like to see here. The playground measures approx. 18.5m by 24m which is roughly the same proportions as an A4 piece of paper – so the Council would love to receive your diagrams of what you would like to see in this space. What sorts of equipment should there be and what should it look like? Diagrams can be left in the box in the shop or emailed to [email protected].

Grassy area on the left – ideas include creating a quiet seating area at the top with views towards Hembury fort, together with a picnic area, an all-weather path suitable for wheelchair access (including a link into the churchyard) and suitable planting of trees etc.

The playing fields are your area, so it is important that the improvements give you what you want. Please send your views, thoughts, ideas, suggestions and diagrams either to [email protected] or leave them in the box in the shop.

Payhembury Weather www.payhembury-weather.co.uk

Rainfall: August was a wet month with nearly twice the average and with 40 mm falling on 9 August marking an end to a dry July. Another wet day was 9 September when the rain rate was exceptional in some places causing flooding in Mill St in Ottery St Mary.

Temperatures: Both August and so far in September the daytime temperatures have been well above average but cooler at night. On 25 August the warmest day of the summer was reached at 28.7 degC. Last summer it reached 32.5 degC.

Weather elsewhere: Hurricane Dorian had sustained winds of 185mph when it made landfall on the Abacos Islands on 1st September. This equalled the highest winds ever recorded for a hurricane at landfall when it struck. At least 50 people were killed and 1300 are still missing in the Bahamas. Meanwhile Bolivian wildfires have destroyed almost five million acres of forest and grassland since August, according to officials. Almost half of the losses are in "protected" areas, known for high biodiversity.

Paul’s Nature Notes from August/September

As summer turns into autumn, we have been facing strong winds and a lot more rain. The bog garden has been awash over recent days, but as warmer days returned we were blessed with excellent numbers of butterflies. Most of our Painted Ladies have gone from the garden and I suspect many will have commenced their autumn migration back to Europe and thence to where their forebears came from earlier in the year. This has been an excellent year for this species, almost matching the last big one in 2009 when an estimated 11m reached our shores.

There are many strange things in nature and one I often marvel at is how moths often hatch in exactly the same week every year, sometimes on the very same day. There are, of course, exceptions when adverse weather conditions can impact adversely on their first appearance. It will be interesting to monitor this as the climate changes. I first started monitoring moth populations in 2007 and so my database is now starting to reach a stage where some realistic conclusions can be drawn.

We have become fascinated by juvenile Chiffchaffs hunting for insects in the cotoneaster outside our conservatory. One was even trying to practice his calls, but still had a lot to learn.

Another juvenile, this time a Sparrowhawk, swooped in and settled on the lawn, not that it caught anything. I have been wondering if this is the same bird I have been seeing around the village. This reminded me that it will soon be time to restock the bird feeders – this always encourages them to arrive on one of their ‘bombing’ raids, hedge-hopping at an extremely low level in an attempt to surprise the other birds.

There had been a family of Little Owls around, announcing their appearance every night by their distinctive calls. The juveniles were constantly calling to be fed, that is until a Tawny Owl appeared on the scene. It was just a little past ten o’clock at night when I heard a reasonably close call from a tawny. A few minutes later there was the most prolonged call I have ever heard, a really triumphant sound, which was immediately followed by the continuous call of a Little Owl. This lasted several minutes, gradually subsiding until there was silence again. What do they say about nature being red in tooth and claw? I can only surmise about what had happened!
