Out And About...

Bird-Watching on the Exe Estuary

 

A recent day trip on the River Exe was a great success.  Armed with binoculars and bird - identification books we were able to identify thirty-seven species of bird.

 

Visit to a Country Crafts Fair

Summer 2007
Tolpuddle Martyrs' Museum - we are planning a return trip to Tolpuddle in July 2008.

'Wedge Benn' proved to be an inspired and inspiring speaker last year.
An Afternoon by the Sea

Coastal walks and a trip to the beech are a regular feature of the summer months.

Cricket

We are nothing if not consistent in our performance, We have lost most of the matches of the 2007 season - oh yes, and the season before too!  We really do enjoy playing though. Honestly!

 

  Youth Hostelling in Cornwall - August 2007

 

A three day trip to Boswinger Youth Hostel provided opportunities to brush up on self-catering skills...
...for beach walks and a bit of 'larking around'...

 

 
...and visits to the Lost Gardens of Helligan (where despite torrential rain we managed to thoroughly enjoy our day) and finally to the Eden Project.

A GREAT BREAK.

Evening Barbeque

The summer evening out for folks in the local deanery was hosted by Pilsdon during September 2007. It was a lovely warm evening and very well-attended. Wellie-throwing, Bat the Rat, Milking the Cow (wooden!) and other daft games were tackled with enthusiasm and in competitive spirit and then participants tucked into a barbeque of home-reared meat and home-grown veg. 

   

St Patrick's Eve
 
 
 
 
.......
 After our Palm Sunday Service we gathered after our usual 'Sunday Soup Supper' with a gratifyingly large group of friends and visitors to be entertained by the Folk Band, Kilcoursey. They very kindly did a 100 mile round trip to play in a dry house for no wages!  And then they said they would come again. Just the kind of friends we need.  So very many thanks are due to Eamon O'Rourke,(bodhran)
Christian Edwards, (fiddle) Richard Scott, (guitar) and Bob Edwards our resident volunteer (tin whistle).

WHAT A TALENTED BUNCH!  IT WAS A TERRIFIC EVENING.
