Gorgeous little gifts to make for Christmas - Christine Ryder

It’s that time of year again….when we start thinking about what we

are going to buy everyone for Christmas. I find the build up to

Christmas is a magical time full of wonderful scents and sounds and

textures that can spark all sorts of great ideas for Christmas gifts.

My answer, for many years, has been to give very simple, homemade

gifts, given a little extra special treatment by their presentation. Most

of the gifts I dream up are foodie based, but there are some little

fragrant ones too. But you have to start preparing your gifts now as

many of them need time to mature before Christmas.

For inspiration, I thoroughly recommend the RiverCottage Handbook

No.2 – all about Preserving. In there, you will find marvelous recipes

for everything from the most gorgeous Christmas sweet mincement –

virtually fat free and packed with fruity flavour – to fruit liqueurs,

cordials and vinegars you can make now using the Autumn fruit

harvest and store until Christmas – and some unusual but very

interesting ideas such as nasturtium capers – made out of nasturtium

seeds. All of these delicious little gifts would be welcome, and made

extra special by presenting them in pretty jars or bottles with

Christmas labels – easily and economically sourced from websites such

as www.jars andbottles.co.uk – then wrapped in Florists Cellophane

and tied with a pretty ribbon. You can buy 20 metres of florists

cellophane from www.amazon.co.uk for just over £5 and in Honiton

High Street, The Curtain Trader is a great place to buy every kind of

ribbon including special Christmas ones.

Little Christmas cakes topped with a bit of marzipan and fondant icing

also look extra special if you give them the florists cellophane and

ribbon treatment – as do stacks of home made biscuits, chocolate

truffles, chocolate dipped orange rind…..the list goes on and on.

For those who you want to give a larger gift to, try

www.thebasketcompany.com where you can buy 4 sizes of Cambridge

Wicker empty hamper baskets from only £4 each. Crunch up some

Christmassy paper into the empty basket, arrange jars or bottles of

17

Honiton Mobile Library Village Hall

2015

November 4th Arrive 12.30pm Depart 1.00pm December 2nd Arrive 12.30pm Depart 1.00pm

home made goodies, wrap the whole thing in florists cellophane and

finish with ribbon for an extra special gift.

A really nice gift for anyone foodie is a selection of pungent sweet and

savoury spices. There is a wonderful little company up in the Midlands

– Fox’s Spices – that still operates on the old fashioned principal

whereby you actually have to phone them to place an order – and

their list of spices is absolutely phenomenal. They also do gift

selections, including a Festive Cooking gift set containing absolutely

everything a foodie could possibly want in the larder for Christmas.

You can contact them on 01789-266420 – they will happily send you

out a catalogue.

For those of you who prefer to get the sewing machine out as

Christmas approaches, little bags of fragrant lavender are still a

welcome and pretty gift. You can use scraps of pretty fabric salvaged

from slightly worn out summer blouses or skirts, or you can do

another trip into The Curtain Trader in Honiton High Street where you

can always find very well priced remnants. All you have to do is to cut

a rectangle of fabric, turn in and edge one of the long sides, fold the

fabric in half inside out, sew up two sides to make a bag, fill it with

lavender and tie with a pretty ribbon. You can buy highly fragrant

dried lavender for £10 a kilo from www.daisygifts.co.uk.

Or, if you like foraging, you might like to go down to the woods or out

into the fields, gather lots of pine cones, rose hips, acorns, beech

nuts…..spray the lot roughly with glittery gold paint, add in some

pungent cinnamon sticks and vanilla pods, and make up your own

Christmassy bags of Pot Pourri.

GARDEN JOTTINGS,

by D.Street

It is November. Autumn is well under way. For weeks Christmas catalogues have

been flooding into our post box, not to mention elastic bands.

Do you get them too? We keep ours. There's quite a collection in a box on the

kitchen table. Someday I must count them, when I've got time from the garden.

Could be enough to flog at a Coffee Morning. You never know, someone might like

them. Though when you come to think of it, they could all be stamped GPO in ultra-

violet or something even higher tech.

By November the garden does not ask for as much time. There're loads of leaves

to sweep off the lawn. And there are hedges to prune. Dead stalks and haulms to

cut back in the borders. Of course you may believe leaving them till the spring helps

protect the roots from penetrating January frosts.

Sometimes there's enough dry weather to get on to the soil, and dig in compost

or lime ready for winter frosts to break down for the spring.

Yet even at such a dead time - November is my least favourite month - new life

is promising. Even in November autumn crocuses and autumn snowdrops open in

sunshine. Daffodils are poking up too. Pink and white cyclamen flower from autumn

onwards.

Near a sheltered sunny wall Nerines are often still in vernal bloom in late autumn.

Christmas roses are ready to open too, and varieties of viburnum and jasmine are in

flower. November is a great season for colourful Chrysanthemums. Broad beans

and peas (sweet or otherwise) can be sown in November - always remembering the

adage "One for the mouse, one for the crow, one to rot and one to grow."

Big Hen still has a wander on a sunny day, and JCS manages to find warm spots to

watch the world go by, including Big Hen. "You've got to keep an eye on that hen,

you know. Looks harmless enough? Don't you believe it. Big Hen a friendly vegetar-

ian, my whiskers. It's a blood-thirsty dinosaur on two legs. Took a mouse off me the

other week. Its great beak came out of nowhere. And it's had a slow worm and a

grass snake too recently. Veggie seed isn't enough for it. I reckon it's a left over

from the primitive Jurassic."

As for me, I reckon the main trouble with November is being followed by all De-

cember and all January.

FOR SALE White Nerines (Flexuosa Alba) in 3 litre pots in flower with leaves suit-

able for conservatory or protected south wall £3.00 a pot at Catkins.

SOME ENCHANTED EVENING by Heather Plummer

The advert for the Musical Event at Tracey on the 26th September did not do

justice to the gardens and the setting. Unfortunately the big three storey estancia

had to be demolished due to the excessive demands of the listed buildings people,

but after extensive clearing the gardens, designed by Incombe and Pince, show a

wonderful crop of exotic trees, which were silhouetted from the terrace with a view

to Honiton in the distance.

There is another terrace below the house base, and to the left side there is a

beautiful sunken garden, which is a perfect oval shape with a stone fountain in the

middle.

To the back is an ancient wood, but flowing away in front is parkland and the

river Otter.

We were regaled by a still warm evening of Indian summer and perfect acoustics

to hear Fantasiastiche by Schuman.

The alto quivered and warbled with a delightful plain background. Then the tenor

singer gave us a rendering of "Marie, there's never been a girl like Marie", and

"Somewhere over the rainbow”, “There's a place for us", the hits from South Pacific

played at a West End show.

It was the most magical setting and a wonderful evening.

NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH

A resident in Luppitt received a letter from a “solicitor” stating that a long

lost relative had died, and it would be to their adventage to contact them.

The “relative” needless to say, was a complete fiction, but the letter was very

plausible and I’m sure people would be taken in. I daresay it would involve

sending money or your bank details.

NEVER give any os this information to ANYONE—there are many clever

crooks out there.

The Unknown Soldier

They call me the “Unknown Soldier”

But you know who I am. I am the one who fell at Dunkirk,

at Mons, at The Somme and in No-Man’s Land.

I am the lad who died in the trench, the pilot who fell from the sky when

my plane was the target of enemy fire And the Angel of Death was flying nearby.

I am the father, husband, brother and son,

The friend who lived next door. Did we pass in the street, on a bus or a train, did we come face to face in theatre of War?

So don’t call me the “Unknown Soldier”

Just keep my poppy aflame. With my soul in a cloud, I still stand tall and

proud. So stand with me and say loudly my name.

By the Revd Peter Horder - Assistant Priest

As November unfolds, perhaps our minds turn to the centuries-old song ‘Remember, remember the fifth of November’ - celebrating the ‘failure’ of Guy Fawkes - reminding us that this month is indeed a month of remembrance.

However, from our church calendar, we should be thinking first and foremost about All Saints and All Souls days on the 1st and 2nd respectively, when we give thanks, and honour the spiritual ‘Great & Good’ - the known and unknown - among whom those we personally have loved, and who have guided and inspired us in our lives. Of course, on Remembrance day itself, our nations remembers and mourns those who laid down their lives in two world wars, and in the many subsequent campaigns, most recently in Afghanistan. Our thoughts are with their families and the soldiers who thankfully returned, but with horrendous injuries, who have shown great determination and courage to rebuild their lives.

This year we have good reason to celebrate the 62 year reign of our gracious Queen Elizabeth, reminding us of her long and exemplary life of selfless service and faithfulness; also to give thanks for the 70 years of peace for our country since the end of the 2nd World War. These are positive signs of hope in our troubled times - ones for which we should be thankful to God.

There are many others who will be in our thoughts at this season of remembrance. In recent months we have seen cataclysmic events in the world: thousands have lost their lives to devastating tsunamis, earthquakes and landslides. Acts of terrorism and violent crime continue to cause thousands of refugees to flee from war-torn countries, or worse still, to face sudden death.

Closer to home, most of us know what it means to be stunned by the often unexpected passing of a close family member or a dedicated friend; and in the utter bewilderment and desperation to question “Why O God? Why?” We know the impact these people made, and we cannot help but think of the good they might have continued to do, had they lived a little longer. It is hard to accept - but accept we should - that the death of the righteous is no accident. Do we think that God, whose watchful eye notes the sparrows fall, and who knows the numbers of hairs on our heads, would turn his back on any of his children in their hour of peril? With God there are no accidents, no tragedies and no catastrophes, as far as his children are concerned.

29

It was Sir Walter Scott who asked “Is death the last sleep? No - it is the final awakening!” That is true for us and for every believer. Even when grief overwhelms us, or confusion assails us, we can still trust God’s all-knowing, all-encompassing love. The Apostle Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 15 ‘If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are to be pitied more than all men’. If there is no life after death - no heaven - no promise of a better world - then life in this world is empty, hopeless, without meaning or purpose. Someday we will join the countless number of faithful witnesses in God’s heavenly home of happiness, joy, and peace. How barren our lives would be if we didn’t have this hope! Our Remembrance season will understandably bring sadness and re-open feelings of loss for families directly affected, but this poignant time should also rekindle in us a universal sense of service, sacrifice, comradeship and community - fourfold positive acts to be worthy of our deepest remembrance and tributes - and to which we should faithfully re-commit ourselves and our world. In the precious days we are given in our earthly journey - and to honour the memory of the fallen and departed - may we live our lives in faithful service to God and one another, giving sacrificially of ourselves in a spirit of true comradeship and so building our community in relationships of love, care and trust.

Note from the Rectory: A great big ‘thank you’ to all who responded to my call for clothes for refugees last month (September). Our Mission Community was able to collect over 50 black bags full of clothes, gumboots, shoes and personal items which have duly been delivered to Exeter for ongoing transmission to a charity which will distribute to those who require them in Calais. A wonderful response from all. Again, thank You Rik the Vic

CHALLENGE TO COMMITMENT

During November, collectors will be calling on houses in the parish on

behalf of St Mary’s Church.

The money raised is put towards the upkeep of our beautiful church;

and it’s true to say that without your generosity, the church funds

would be very strained indeed.

Not everyone is aware that, in addition to our work in this parish, we

also support a range of charities, locally, nationally and

internationally.

If you miss our collectors and would like to contribute, do please give

me a call.

Also, please remember that you can give by Gift Aid if you pay tax on

your income. This will allow us to reclaim tax from the Inland

Revenue at a rate equivalent to 25p for every pound donated.

Your support is very much appreciated.

NEWS FROM UPOTTERY PRE-SCHOOL In the last few weeks at Pre School we have been looking at the letters B, C, D and E and have been very busy making blue play dough, bread rolls, cauliflower cheese, lemon drizzle cakes from lemon scented play dough and Eccles cakes! The children have been on welly walks on the playing field and playing stuck in the mud followed by a warming hot chocolate. We are working on a wall display based on the book 'Harry and his bucketful of dinosaurs'. The AGM has taken place now and Katie Hollyer remains as chair and Ali Fone has taken the role of secretary and Amy Tucker is now the treasurer. We would like to say a big thank you to the previous committee members Caroline Parris and Tracey Parris for all their hard work and commitment over the years! Our website is now up and running and can be found at www.upotterypreschoolcio.weebly.com

This month saw several new clubs starting with lots of children taking up the opportunity to try something that they are particularly interested in. I am very grateful to the class teachers for giving up their time to run them particularly with all the pressures they are under. We are also grateful for the enthusiastic help we receive from so many parents in these activities We also had of one of many PE events that Upottery takes part in. Several Y3/4 children were very successful in a Honiton Learning Community cross-country event and will now go through to the East Devon finals in November - a huge well done to them! Nine of our pupils took part in the Cotleigh Canter on Sunday and won the Alan Rowe Primary School Cup.
