It’s party time!
   Saturday July 31st, 2pm to 4pm, Village Hall
Payhembury Provisions will be 10 years old this
month and we’d like to invite everyone to help us
celebrate with afternoon tea at the village hall on
July 31st between 2 and 4pm. Please come
along whether you’re a volunteer, a regular
customer or someone who just pops in for the odd
pint of milk or bar of chocolate. Even if you have
never ventured inside the shop (you might like it!)
you will be made very welcome at our tea party.
All we ask is that you add your name to the list in
the shop by the middle of the month so that we
can pass on the numbers to our caterers Janet and Ed East, and if knowing that
they will be making their superb cakes and scones isn’t tempting you to come
along we don’t know what will!
Although we’d rather look ahead than dwell on the past, we’d like to thank all the
people who have helped to get the shop off the ground and make it successful
over the last 10 years. We would be sunk without all our marvellous volunteers,
some of whom have been helping week in, week out throughout the 10 years, and
others who are new to the village but haven’t hesitated to jump in and give us their
time. We are incredibly proud to say that in 10 years we have only had to close the
shop unexpectedly for one hour due to a lack of a volunteer.
Thanks must also go to the Leach family who have provided our premises in such
a central location in the village and who have been our generous landlords. Our
exciting news is that talks are going ahead for Payhembury Provisions to purchase
a very long lease on the shop from the Leach family so securing it as a huge asset
for the village for many years to come.
Finally, we’d like to thank you, our customers, for supporting the shop
enthusiastically right from the start. Please continue to shop with us, not only do
we have a great choice of good value products but also your custom helps us to
ensure that local businesses and food producers can thrive. We do our best to
support all groups in the village, like the school and pre-school as well as the
church and the village hall, and have contributed towards improvements in
Payhembury, like the pavement outside the shop and the new footpath. None of
this would have been possible without our customers and volunteers, so thank you
all.
Come and have tea and cake on us and we’ll celebrate together on July 31st!

Weather for May 2021

Rainfall: May was a very wet month with over 10cm of extra rain with most days
having rain. Several storms came close to rivers over topping. It was such a
contrast to a very dry April. The reservoirs in Devon are pretty full this summer.
The first half of June has been dry again however.

Temperatures: Day time temperatures were close to average in May, but night
time temperatures were much cooler than normal with a good frost on 7 th May and
also two other days of frost, unusual for May. As I write this, June is experiencing
a period of maximum temperatures above 25degC, marking the start of real
summer.

Weather elsewhere: Twenty-one people died after hail, freezing rain and high
winds hit runners taking part in a 100km ultramarathon in a mountainous part of
northern China in late May. In Australia, snowfall was widespread in New South
Wales and Queensland with record cold temperatures in Sydney in early June.

Paul’s Nature Notes
                                  May-June 2021

The low moth counts continued right into June and unfortunately there are many
species which may now not appear at all this year, notable amongst which is the
Puss Moth. This is such a truly glorious moth and one which surely should be a firm
favourite of all the cat owners in the village. I have it on authority that this has been
the worst spring for insects since records began. Reports have come in from all over
the country of Blue Tit broods failing due to lack of food. Oak trees came into leaf at
least a month late and this meant that there were no caterpillars for the tits to feed
their young and what few were on the trees were washed away by all that rain we
endured in the spring. Then to cap it all we even suffered a late frost and freezing fog
on 27th May.

I have been asked on numerous occasions what the difference is between a moth
and a butterfly. The answer is, not very much at all. They all form part of the order
Lepidoptera with butterflies nestling as a group within the moths. Now, why is it that
butterflies are usually loved by all and yet moths are disliked, even at times to the
point of fear? It is true that some lay eggs in clothing, but they account for literally
just a mere handful of species. This year, I aim to show you some of our local
specialities so that you can gauge for yourselves just how beautiful they are. So, let
us start with a Poplar Hawk-moth and an Elephant hawk-moth – now aren’t they just
as beautiful as a butterfly, and believe me they are just as large?

One of our ponds has undergone a transformation. Vegetation has been cut back to
allow in more light and many less invasive native pond plants are already
establishing themselves. It took very little time for our frogs and newts to return and
breed and now numerous beetles and other invertebrate species have re-established
themselves and an adult Grass Snake has put in an appearance. I have always
known that they could swim on the surface of water – what I didn’t know was that
they can also swim underwater. Imagine my surprise when this one popped its head
out of the water to eye-ball me from just a few feet away.

Don't delay your second COVID-19 vaccine dose
The NHS is urging people that are contacted to bring forward their second COVID-
19 jab to rebook as soon as possible. Last month, the Joint Committee on
Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) advised that everyone aged 50 years old and
above or with underlying health conditions should have their second vaccine dose
brought forward from 12 to eight weeks as part of the government's plans to tackle
rising cases of the Delta variant.

People who used the National Booking Service will receive a text message
prompting them to cancel their existing second appointment and rebook an earlier
one. There are currently plenty of appointments available and new appointments
are being added regularly, so please keep checking.

Those not in vaccination priority groups one to nine will continue to get their first
dose, with their second dose at 12 weeks in line with the current vaccine strategy.

                                  Beat the heat...
The higher temperatures, indoors and out, carry
health risks that can be amplified during the
pandemic, particularly for those spending more time
at home because of self-isolating.

Social distancing measures have also reduced the
opportunities for people to check on vulnerable
friends and neighbours.

Much of the advice on beating the heat is common sense:

•      If you're spending time outdoors, remember to drink plenty of water and avoid excess
       alcohol. Stay in the shade, apply sunscreen and wear a wide-brimmed hat.
•      Try to keep out of the sun and avoid physical exertion during the hottest hours of the
       day, usually between 11.00am and 3.00pm when the ultraviolet (UV) rays are
       strongest.
•      Never leave anyone in a locked, parked vehicle, especially infants, young children or
       animals, even if windows are left open.
•      Look out for those who may struggle to cope in the heat and to keep themselves cool
       and hydrated, such as young children or older people. Those with underlying
       conditions and those who live alone are particularly at risk.
•      Close curtains in rooms that face the sun to keep indoor spaces cooler and remember
       it may be cooler outdoors than indoors in some buildings.

The NHS website has lots of useful information about how to look after yourself and others
during hot weather, and keep an eye on the Met Office website for up-to-date weather
forecasts.

Doctors in Devon remind their patients “We are here for you”

Devon’s GP practices are open and encouraging patients to get touch when they need
to. While practices have had to move to greater use of telephone and online appointments,
they have continued to offer face to face appointments to those that need them. In fact,
almost 60 per cent of appointments in Devon GP practices are now face to face, which is
higher than the national average.

NHS Devon Clinical Commissioning Group is urging people in Devon to use the right
service for their needs and to bear with the very busy NHS services in the region.
Before contacting your GP, you can look up your symptoms online using the NHS App,
the NHS website or via 111 online.

The NHS 111 service is available 24/7 to provide advice, treatment and care. Just ring 111
or visit the 111 website and the service will provide advice and refer you to another service
if you need it.

Don’t forget your local pharmacist can provide health advice and help with minor illnesses
like colds, rashes, sunburn, hay fever and diarrhoea. You don’t need an appointment and
they can provide you with the right medicines at the same time.

If you, or someone you know, is struggling with their mental wellbeing, 24/7 mental health
lines are available in Devon on 0808 196 8708.

         An Appeal from South Western Ambulance Service
We're experiencing extremely high demand on our service at the moment.
Please #HelpUsHelpYou by ONLY calling 999 in a genuine, life-threatening
emergency. If you need urgent medical advice please call 111 or
visit http://111.nhs.uk
