April - May 2020 Issue 98

A TREMENDOUS THANK YOU!

After the request in the last issue of The Drift for volunteers to deliver it was good to receive
so many messages from residents offering to help. You know who you are and your details
have been added to the list - you will likely to have been contacted by the Editor already but
if not you will be approached as and when needed to see if you can assist.

SPRINGTIME AROUND THE CORNER

During the current distressing
situation let’s turn our thoughts
to more cheerful matters. With
Springtime ahead we can soon
make a start on spending time
in the garden, planting new
p la n t s, sow i n g se e d s a n d
generally tidying up. Don’t
forget that shed and fence that
needs repainting; also the
mower may need attention. How about
introducing a new water feature to attract more
birds and wildlife?
Indoors, there is plenty to do; alongside the
usual Spring cleaning why not sort out that spare
room (a job that always seems to get left until
visitors arrive!).
Redecorating using new colour schemes can
revitalise rooms too. Maybe you can take a look
in the loft, there are usually forgotten treasures
to be found there, some things you will never
need, others you will be glad to have found!
Remember what you call junk some will find its
just what they have been looking for and could
never find.
The virus will certainly disrupt many lives,
causing worry and distress to lots of people but
here in Tatworth and Forton we feel sure
residents will all help each other. You will see in
this edition of The Drift that many planned
events are cancelled and no doubt others will
also have to be postponed so do check and see
what the present position is.
Later in this edition of The Drift you will find
contact numbers for our Parish Councillors who
are all willing to assist should any of you need
help. Most importantly do try and look out for
your neighbours, particularly those who live
alone, have no transport and may be in need. A
friendly gesture, even if behind a door or by
telephone can cheer someone up and break the
monotony of what might otherwise be a long
day.
KEEP
CALM
AND
CARRY
ON!

DISAPPOINTING NEWS
FROM FORTON 

Mike Farthing writes:
Forton Community Association are sorry to report that
vandals have visited again causing a lot of damage which
include the smashing of picnic tables together with
leaving a lot of rubbish scattered around such as drink
cans and food wrappers. It is believed the damage was
caused by youths who came from Chard late at night
subsequently returning to Tatworth.
What a pity that some of our society get satisfaction from
destroying things that others have taken the time to
create for the village to enjoy.
If you have any knowledge of who might be responsible
for the damage please contact a member of the Forton
Community Association or the police.

FLOOD RELIEF & WOODLAND SCHEME The swales and length of the stream containing the leaky
dams will be protected by a sheep wire fence, although in
For Jubilee Field keeping with the desire to provide unrestricted access there
will be a gate into this fenced section on the western side.
Tree Planting
An extensive 0.35 ha woodland is also being created by
planting 500 mixed species of trees and shrubs from the
village access gate around the two swales and up to where
the field broadens out to its full width. The trees are an
essential element of the project as they take up water,
improve infiltration and increase ground surface roughness to
allow runoff.
Residents views are welcomed - please send any comments
to The Parish Council at the Parish Office, Tatworth

The current boggy area looking towards the village gate

The Parish Council are seeking tenders to remedy the

extensive wet patch caused by machinery damage to a land Seepage barrier secure
drain in Jubilee Field and help mitigate surface flooding in the with stakes
village by reducing the rate of the downstream flow.
The scheme was designed by FWAG South West at the request
of the Council. It is in keeping with the Council’s objective of
making Jubilee Field an open access space where the area’s
ecology and the environment is protected and enhanced.
It is hoped the cost of the project will be considerably
supported by grant funding from the “Hills to Levels” project.
The grant application is currently being submitted by FWAG
(January 2020) and is envisaged that work will commence in Example using Hazel
the Spring of this year.
Swales
The project involves constructing two swales in the boggy
area, connecting channels, installation of three ‘leaky’ dams
and the planting of around 500 trees from the village entrance
up to where the field opens out to the main area. Intended to
be fully vegetated, the two shallow swales will total
approximately 153m2 (90m2 x 63m2 respectively) with a

finished depth no deeper than 600mm. The banks will be a
gradient of 1 in 3 or shallower. The following diagram shows
the intended construction and dimensions of the swales.
Three leaky dams are intended to be constructed. These do
not stop the flow of the stream, but will hold back the water
for a time if there is surge in volumes. They are proven to
effectively allow the water downstream to drain easier.
Following is a diagram and picture of a typical leaky drain
structure.

TATWORTH WALKING FOR HEALTH
Rick Chubb writes:
As I write this, in the middle of February, the weather is still
mild but very wet. This winter has seen terrible flooding in
many parts of the country, although Somerset has so far not
suffered as badly, it has nonetheless had very few days
without rain.
Because of this our walks have been confined to the footpaths
least affected, even so muddy boots have been a weekly chore
on returning home.
Numbers have remained around the 7 or 8 mark most weeks,
with some of us getting away for some warmer (drier) climes,
and a break from winter.
We have decided to try some away walks on the first
Wednesday of each month, so will meet at the same time with
enough cars, to transport us to new areas a bit further afield.
Also our evening walks will restart when the clocks return to
British summer time. I look forward to walking on more solid
ground in the near future.
NEWS FROM THE MEMORIAL HALL
During the next few weeks, perhaps months, very few
activities will take place at the Hall. Most clubs and societies
have decided to postpone or cancel their meetings due to the
Corona Virus emergency. Please make a point of checking if
you are planning to attend an event. In spite of this, the
Management Committee has decided to keep the Hall "open
for business" as a small sign that life must go on - even in the
most difficult circumstances. So, if you have a meeting or an
event that you think can take place without breaching
government guidelines on social contact then we would be
delighted to be your hosts. It would also give us some much
needed income!
One of the casualties of the cancellations is the monthly film
show. For obvious reasons we have had to suspend the
programme and our next film will not be until September at
the earliest. Pity, because we had one or two real blockbusters
booked with our distributor. Better safe than sorry, as the
saying goes.
Some good news amongst the gloom (no pun intended). We
have changed the mode of lighting in the main hall and Cozens
Room from fluorescent tubes to LED panels. These give better
light all round, are easier to maintain and will save electricity.
Happy days!

NEWS FROM WENDY’S KITCHEN
Things are going well at the Village Café.
We have had Aallyah Culverwell doing a
placement from her college course with
us, she is doing Health and Social care so
has to mix with the community so it has
been useful to her and also to us.
I have had a new gentleman and his wife visit the café

take people to a lunch club where they used to live and
has kindly offered the same service for us in Tatworth (it
is not a taxi service). Anyone who would like Richard to
pick them up and take them home again on a
Wednesday please contact Richard direct on: 01460
359829.
Wendy’s Kitchen offers a varied menu of home cooked
lunches, also snacks, cakes and come along there is no
need to book. You will be well fed and looked after;
hopefully seeing old and new friends with other

second Thursday of each month. 2 course roast for £9.00
and to book this please ring Wendy on 07792 623175.
All very delicious!
SPRING GARDENER
Spring - what a wonderful time of the year with every
plant deciding winter is over. Suddenly we are caught
unawares with a spurt in plant growth and warmer
weather – but where to start in the garden?
Tidy up all that winter detritus and do essential
maintenance of tools - sharpening, cleaning, clearing
and airing - sorry to be boring but maintenance should
always come first!
Next soil - every garden whatever its size requires
healthy soil. Soil is so often taken for granted as
everlasting and not requiring maintenance. It is not -
soil needs nurturing.
May I strongly recommend an inexpensive pH meter.
Simply stick the probes into moistened soil for an
instant guide. These meters give a pH, fertility and
moisture readings at a manual click of the settings. They
work easily with a simple to read clear screen.
Check your soil has not become too compacted with
heavy winter rain or muddy boots. Lightly rake to
introduce much needed oxygen - remember plants
breathe (respiration) through their roots and roots
require movement to access nutrients and available
water.
Top up the soil with a dressing of fresh loam (clay/sand/
silt mixture) and then lightly dig in the organic –plant –
animal compost and manure mulch that contain the
living microbes producing the all important nitrogen
microbes for a really surprising thank you from your
garden plants - just enjoy the rewards as the season
progresses.
Soil is often so often forgotten, not understood, and
therefore neglected but it is soil that contains the vital
nutrients that plants depend on. Nitrogen (N) for green
growth proteins, phosphorus (P) for strength and
potassium (K) for flowering. Look for NPK on your
inorganic fertiliser and decide from your soil and plants
what you require for ornamental flowers or growing
vegetables. Vegetables generally prefer alkaline soil and
additional liming with a calcium product that may be
required to avoid dreaded club root that can sometimes
appear if the pH is below 7.
If you have Ericaceous plants do not use ordinary clay
loam, use branded ericaceous soils that do not contain
calcium, but require additional iron and manganese
mixed in with grit, bark and some organic (compost). I
also favour a generous ericaceous liquid feed this time
of the year and especially when flowering occurs from
now onwards.
Now for planting - but where to start in the garden?
May I suggest simply list the plants you would like to see
in your garden, but then stop, think, and consider, will
they be happy where you intend to plant them. Sun or
shade, dry or moist - these conditions are very
important to the planting.
Issue 98 The DRIFT
What is on your list? A small tree or shrub, summer
bulbs, perennials, many flowering annuals some
colourful climbers such as Black Eyed Susie –Thunbergia,
that can easily be grown from seed, add long-lasting
summer colour at an affordable price.
I advise visiting garden centres and quality websites but
don’t forget to factor in delivery charges, and that
plants are seldom as well advanced as those beautiful
on screen specimens are illustrated.
I spend many happy hours ‘just looking’, but you must
decide what is going to actually grow and work best in
your garden and follow your garden plan as I mentioned
in earlier editorials in Jan and Feb.
Now April is commencing, take your time to plan what
you really want to see but above all enjoy the wonderful
start to spring.

Marguerita Bond writes:
An email has been received from SCFWI County
Chairwoman, Sandra Ford, confirming that a possible
purchaser has been found for Wilton Lodge in Taunton
which was purchased in 1965 to be the head quarters of
the Somerset federation. A listed and old building it
needs a lot of very expensive alterations to meet the
working and safety regulations of the 21st century, so
has to be sold, but many W.I. members have very happy
memories of being there and will be sad to see it go. A
possible replacement building has been located in
Bridgewater.
Tatworth W.I. committee have decided after reading
Somerset County Federation advice, to cancel the
meetings on Thursday 19th March and Thursday 16th
April. A decision about the Annual meeting on the 21st
May will be made nearer the time. All lunches, trips,
‘get togethers’ etc have also been cancelled, apart
from the Summer Lunch in July, the SS Gt. Britain trip
in June and the ‘Noughts Birthday Party’ in August.
The decisions as to whether or not these go ahead will
be made nearer each date. The ACWW walk might take
place later in the summer If things improve later in the
summer then trips and lunches can quickly be
organised. Somerset County events are also being
cancelled, although arrangements are still being made
for the Somerset County visit to Denman in October.

An evening Roadshow at Castle Cary is on Wednesday
the 1st April when Sarah Harris will give a light hearted

and also the day when there is a demonstration on how
to make hanging baskets in Kingston St. Mary village
hall.
TATWORTH BOOK GROUP
Do you enjoy reading? Would you like to meet to discuss
books? If the answer to both questions is yes we have
space for new members in our group.
We meet about every 4-6 weeks at various venues in
Tatworth, usually on a Wednesday evening, to talk
about a book we have all had a chance to read. The
group has been going since 2008 and although we often
read novels we do sometimes choose biography or other
factual books. Suggestions for future reading are made
by members and we borrow books via the Somerset
Libraries service and pay £1 per session to cover the
library fees.
If you would like to come to a meeting or find out more
please contact: Alex Butler (07743092158) or Sue
Osborne (220330).

It goes without saying that I hope that all our
residents are keeping well and fit during these
difficult times. There is plenty of help available to
anyone in need - see Parish Council list on page 2
for contact details, or ask a neighbour.
Thank you St John’s the Evangelist Church!
We are very grateful for the generous donation of
£200 which was from the Lent Lunch held on 5th
March. It was delicious and supported well, despite
the poor weather.
Robin Munday - Drift Editor
YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU WILL
FIND WHEN ON HOLIDAY!
Robin & Sandra write:
Readers will remember the article in an earlier edition
of The Drift when the Editor gave details of his
‘retirement hobby’ which sometimes conflicted with his
wife’s ideas what he could do in his spare time.....well
Sandra thought it time to repeat a holiday to their
favourite Island Sri Lanka and whilst visiting old friends
guess what they found!
A German couple who have accommodation where they
stayed for part of the vacation recently acquired a
vintage car - a dream they had hoped to achieve for a
number of years. This dream had to wait whilst they
worked on other things such as creating their own little
Paradise in down south Sri Lanka. During the early
1980’s they witnessed many Morris Minor Cars, many of
which were used as taxis especially in the capital
Colombo. These cars were all black and saloons. The
couple were lucky to spot a Morris Minor Convertible in
Colombo which was a brownish colour and the idea to
own one was something they decided could no longer
be a dream but must be a reality and they made it
their ambition “to do a little later” and look for one to
purchase at a reasonable cost and of course in good
condition. Years passed and due to assorted reasons i.e.
their new venture took all of their resources, both in
money and time; problems such as the civil war and
tsunami hindered this passion to own a Morris Minor
car.
After what be almost 40 years
good news! One of the couple’s
acquaintances by the name of
Bhakthi gave them the news
that he knew an owner of a
M.M. Convertible, apparently
in quite good condition. This
was in 2018 but the owner did

not want to sell his “jewel”. After 1 year and some
months the couple kept in touch with the owner trying
to persuade him to sell. The only solution was to offer
a price that could not be refused and this meant paying
double the price that would normally be paid. No
matter the dream was about to come true and in
November 2019 Karin and Manfred were the new
owners!
Only a small number of repairs had to be made with a
few missing items being obtained from Colombo. The
original log book and keys were received but all was
not quite complete - the usual Sri Lankan
bureaucratical problems presented themselves such as
obtaining a driving licence, insurance etc. etc. so as to
transport the car from Colombo down south to Tangalle
(about 200 kms). On January 9th 2020 the Morris Minor
arrived in Tangalle where it had to be picked up by the
proud new owners! They had never driven a right hand
steering wheeled car and certainly the first drive at
around 5pm (the rush hour!) was an experience! They
made it back to their resort without damage and
breathed a sigh of relief as you can imagine. Later on
further inspection they discovered the spare wheel was
missing and it took another month to get the right
spare wheel in correct size.
February 15th 2020 was a special day - their dream was
completed and the couple are looking forward to their
first trip along the coastal road to Galle and Hikkaduwa
(about 100 kms) and back to their paradise resort.
Robin and Sandra hope to return to the Island next year
and have been promised a ride in this wonderful little
treasure from earlier days of Great Britain.
It just shows what time and patience can achieve
doesn’t it?
