Editorial
Our Road Map seems to be running reasonably smoothly, but there are
some concerning matters that could put a spoke in the works. The level of
new infections with new variants worries us considerably, just hope we
get to the end of June still on course to open up safely again……. Not go-
ing abroad for another year, if then.
More details of the Solar farm have arrived through letterboxes recently
and while the areas are large, the distribution is spread over a large areas,
and seems not concentrated in one, thanks goodness! The loss of good
farm land is a very serious concern, particularly post Brexit, as we do need
land to grow crops on and farm, perhaps more than ever before.
Hopefully a reasonable result will arise between our Eco needs and all the
demands on our land.
Looking forward to our next ROBOTs meeting, once we are re opened
and to seeing people again in reasonably close proximity, safely.
I have an apology to make to Pam Weston. In our last but one issue we
inadvertently inserted the pages she provided in the wrong order, thus
making somewhat limited sense, so apologies Pam.
From a dry March and April we have a wet May, and it has not yet
warmed up. Really hope it does soon. What lies ahead in Blazing June?
Keep right onto the end of the Road Map, stay safe.

_______________________Page 4 St James the Great St James the Great Services 6th June Morning Worship 10.30am 20th June Holy Communion 10.30 am 27th June Morning Prayer (BCP) 9.30am Please let the churchwarden know if you intend to attend a particular service so that he is able to plan the seating. While it is such good news that we are again able to join in worship here it is still very understandable that some members of the congregation feel it is too risky, the extra good news is that Rev. Marc is continuing his services on Youtube - From the Curate’s Study, plus Wondering Wednesday, and for children, Kid’s Club. Notes from the PCC The church grounds have seen many more visitors during the different phases of lockdown - a surprising number from elsewhere, but most from the village, including dog walkers and people just out for a breath of fresh air. Most years we are supported by villagers willing to turn out to help do some springtime tidying up, and this time we had a massive turn out on two successive Saturday mornings and the results are there for everyone to see.

Photo of one of those working parties
Some worked hard on the border on the west side of the car park,
and it is now filled with loads of beautiful plants which will greatly
enhance that area.
Our grateful thanks to everyone who came along - too many to
name!
Church services have restarted, but maybe unsurprisingly are not
yet well attended. Nevertheless, work to maintain and improve the
church building and its grounds continue unabated. Some of the
windows have deteriorated and will require a lot of work and fund-
ing to bring up to a decent condition again. We are getting close to
finalising negotiations within the church and with Devon Highways
about the final repairs to the boundary by Harris Farm - it’s been
very frustrating to see how quickly a collapsed wall locally was to be
repaired, when not dealing with a Grade 1 listed building!
If you have any questions about the church itself or it’s activities, do
please contact the vicar or the Church Warden - details are on the
village website.

FUNDRAISING FOR LOCAL CANCER PATIENTS.
With the support of the community in & around Talaton & Ottery
St Mary I have been putting together care bags for cancer patients
since June 2019.
I deliver the bags to the Cherrybrook ward at the RDE hospital
where they are handed out along with an information pack just
before Chemo begins.
I''ve been fortunate to have met some of the recipients of the bags
& the general feedback from the nurses is that they bring such
happiness. To me they show that people are thinking of them &
sending their love & best wishes.
The bags contain treats & useful items that hopefully make treat-
ment just that bit easier. These

copy of the minutes may be viewed on both Parish Notice-

www.talatonparishcouncil.co.uk
A Remote Finance Meeting of the Parish Council was
held on Tuesday 27th April 2021
FINANCE
I. To receive and note Internal Audit Report – Nigel Ralph had carried out a satis-
factory Internal Audit and completed the paperwork for the AGAR. Cllr Lenehan
expressed her thanks to Mr Ralph as he has continued to carry out the Audit even
though he no longer lives in the village.
II. To consider and approve Annual Governance Statement- Council considered
and approved the statement. Proposed by Cllr Lenehan, seconded by Cllr Hawkins
III. To Approve and sign Annual Accounting Statement- Council had received the
statement, Cllr Gray noticed there was an error in the figures. The Clerk had inad-
vertently circulated the wrong sheet, this was rectified by the Clerk retrieving the
correct statement. The statement was then approved. Proposed by Cllr Lenehan,
seconded by Cllr Hawkins.
IV. To consider and approve Application for Exemption from Audit – Council
considered the criteria (income under £25,000) and were satisfied that the condi-
tions had been met. Proposed by Cllr Lenehan, seconded by Cllr Hawkins.
V. To set date for Public Rights Notice- date set for 14th June to the 23rd July 2021
Matters of urgency- Karen Walker has agreed to become a co-opted member of the
Parish Council.
A Remote Meeting of the Parish Council was held on
Wednesday 5th May 2021
To elect a Chairman: Cllr Lenehan was proposed by Cllr Hawkins, this was seconded
by Cllr Peters. There being no other proposals Cllr Lenehan duly accepted.
To receive Chairman’s acceptance of Office: - Cllr Lenehan agreed to the ac-
ceptance of office.
To elect a Vice Chairman: Cllr Peters was proposed by Cllr Boss, this was seconded
by Cllr Hawkins. Cllr Hawkins was proposed by Cllr Lenehan, seconded by Cllr
Walker. Cllr Peters stated that he was happy for Cllr Hawkins to take the role. A vote
was taken on the proposal for Cllr Hawkins to be Vice Chairman with all Councillors
voting in favour of the proposal.______________________Page 13
Public 15-minute open forum: Christopher Sowerbutts from Lightrock introduced him-
self and said he was there to address any issues from residents re the proposed solar farm
at Paytherden. He said that residents felt under consulted and he had wanted to make
himself available to answer any queries. A public meeting is due to be held at Clyst Hy-
don once Covid restrictions are lifted. He stated that the technical team were looking into
the issue of traffic through Talaton which he stated would be a burden to the community
of Talaton.
Correspondence Received:
1. Paytherden Solar Farm objections- all the emails received had been circulated to
the PC, No action to be taken at present until the consultation takes place and the
planning application is received.
2. Orchard Close Footpath- Simon Jupp MP had contacted the council to say that
residents had contacted him to say the footpath and chain link fence were unsafe
and he wanted the PC to look into the matter. Residents had not been aware that
the PC had already reported the matter of the cracked footpath and the response
from DCC to say it would be repaired. The Clerk said that this was due to her
missing the item from the minutes as she had given a verbal report after speaking
to DCC. The damage to the wall at the end of the footpath has also been reported
and is due to be repaired. The chain link fence is not deemed to be a safety issue
by Devon County. The PC will review the matter of the chain link fence next
year after the footpath has been repaired.
3. Invitation to meeting with Lightrock re Paytherden – the Chairman of Clyst Hy-
don PC had been in contact to invite the PC and residents to a public meeting
when it can be held after restrictions are lifted.
b. Items of late correspondence:
1. Email from Chris Harwood-After much deliberation he has decided to stand down
from managing the PC website. Cllr Lenehan expressed her gratitude for the ster-
ling work Chris has given over many years in operating the website on our behalf.
As it is a legal requirement for the PC to host a website, a sub-committee of the
Chairman, Cllr Gray and the Clerk will meet and re- evaluate the management of
the website.
Parish maintenance: the following items to be reported to Highways
• Pothole between Beacon Cross and Talaton Farm Barns on left- and right-hand side
• Pothole- near bus stop at Woodmans Orchard towards Bittery Cross
• Post and rail by the dog bin at the top of the road to Harris Farm still not repaired
• Corner between Rydon and Blue Anchor has not been repaired to a good standard
The drain at Hillside has been added to list for jetting.
Date of next meeting: As agreed previously, unless any planning matters arise, the next
meeting will be Wednesday 7th July at 7.30pm in the Parish Hall unless there are chang-
es to the Covid restrictions. Cllr Lenehan has given her apologies as she will not be able
to attend.______________________Page 14

Rainfall at the Cobblers & Parish Hall 100 Club
Rainfall at the Cobblers in Talaton during April 2021.
The month began settled but soon turned very cold, the Met office said
that it was a unusually dry month, if fact the 4th driest April since 1862!
Here in Talaton I recoded only 22.5mls or 0.9 inches of rain. In fact there
were 26 days without a drop, the driest April that I have recorded over
the Last 10 years when in 2015 there was only 0.78 inches. There were
only 4x 24-hour periods without a frost.
The provisional UK mean temperature was 5.7C which was 1.7C below
the long-term average. The Met Office says that the number of days with-
out an air frost across the UK was the highest since 1960.
The highest temperature was at Trknow in Cornwell on 1st with 21.4C
and the lowest of -9.4C at Tulloch Bridge in Inverness shire. On the 28th
28mls or 1.12 inches of rain fell at St. Athan in South Wales.
I recorded 22.50 mls or 0.9 inches of rain bringing our yearly total to 8.81
Inches.

Feed tomato plants when the first fruit sets and pinch out their side shoots. If you leave these shoots then energy will be diverted into them rather than your crop of fruits. Of course there are always exceptions to rules - don’t pinch any side shoots off your free Otter Tumbler tom. Tumblers work better for you, as little bush shaped plants. Mid summer’s day should be the time to stop cutting asparagus, give it some well deserved food and let the shoots grow and flourish until they go brown in the autumn. This will give them a chance to make food for themselves and hopefully give you a good crop in 2022. If you haven’t already done it, build supports for climbing beans and judging by the strong winds we have experienced already this year, do make sure that your supports are really robust and well anchored in. Plant out French and runner beans, leeks, courgettes, marrows, cau- liflowers, cabbage, sweet corn… and continue to sow quick harvest crops such as radish. Plant out aubergines by the end of the month to give them enough time to grow and develop good sized fruit. Thin out apples and pears toward the end of the month, and thin out plums at the beginning and the end of the month. Heavily laden branches can break under weight of the developing fruit. Find more advice read Jim Buttress’s Tips for June on our web page. Don’t forget to tend some of your crops and flowers so that they are ready for our Annual Show on Saturday 7th August! More about the show in next month’s Calendar. We still hope to be able to put this on and if we are not, well just eat all the delicious fruits of your la- bours!
