    Best Kept Village Competition Judges Report

    29 October 2014 / 0 Comments

    North Bovey lies on the east side of the Dartmoor National Park near to Moretonhampstead. It is a small, ancient village centred on the Village Green. It is very well kept, with no evidence of litter or dog fouling. Hedges look well grown and full of a most beautiful range of wild flowers in the village and along the lanes. Walls here are mainly of granite. They are well maintained overall. Wild flowers, nettles and ferns, seem to spill from walls, banks, crevices, the edge of roads and paths, in May. This seems completely beautiful in this woodland setting, which has many mature trees. The lanes and hedges were in good order later in July. The village…

Stolen are: Stihl chainsaw, Stihl petrol blower and Husqvarna heavy duty strimmer, all three orange. The police has been informed. We suggest that if you see any suspect individuals to call…

    Oafs! (Open arts forum)

    23 October 2014 / 0 Comments

    This month’s subject was “coastal living” and we had contributions as varied as experiences of Iona to Albert and the lion and a couple of poems and pictures thrown in for good measure. Great fun and some interesting discussions. Next month’s meeting will take place in the Parish hall at 7pm on November 17th and the topic will be “industry”. Interpret it as you will and bring along an art medium which you are prepared to share and discuss or just come along and see what it’s all about. It makes a change from sitting in front of the TV and moaning about there never being anything worth watching. Try…
