A View From My Window
So the good weather has con9nued, and what a glorious April, with such bright
sunshine, and magnicent owers and blossom. As I write my wisteria is just
coming into bloom, and it virtually wraps the coXage round.

It seems that the world has woken up aAer a long winter, and the sounds of
children and mowers in the gardens are ever present and Poulshot Churchyard
looks fabulous in the sunshine.. I hope you had a good Easter. Holy week was very
special for me, for in Keevil together with a choir from Oxfordshire we performed
Stainers Crucixion, which really brings to life once again what the season is all about, full of the
humanity of a real person suering as he dies, and then full of the divinity of one who could say, Father
forgive them for they know not what they do.. It was lovely to see so many friends from Poulshot there.
As the week developed we were able to share together in the community and communion of the disciples
as they struggled, and we re enacted the last supper , and then shared in the horror of Good Friday, the
deadness of Holy Saturday and then the joy of Easter Day.

Alleluia; Christ is risen.

Now we look forward to the post Easter experiences. Did you know that 550 people plus saw Jesus on 11
dierent occasions over a period of 6 weeks aAer he had died, beginning with Mary Magdalene in the
garden, on the day of his resurrec9on. Thats amazing. Scep9cs say that maybe he didnt really die, or that
his disciples stole his body or that the authori9es stole the body, and others said that maybe they were
seeing a ghost , but how can a ghost cook and eat sh? CS Lewis , the great theologian ( and writer of the
Narnia books ) came to the conclusion that either Jesus was and is the son of God , or else a madman, or
something worse , and he said However strange it may seem , I have to accept the view that he was and
is the son of God.

So we look forward to the coming season both in the church and the world and par9cularly in our villages.
The post resurrec9on stories in the bible are lovely and its a 9me when I think of the English Jesus.
Whos that ? you may be thinking. Come along and nd out.

There are six weeks before the day when we celebrate Jesus ascending into heaven, hopefully all the
glorious days of May, when the blue bells will be out and the Beech trees will come into full leaf.

We can choose; either to be depressed about the terrifying state of the world at the moment, or to be
glad to be alive today , or maybe if when we realize how beau9ful the world can be, we will resolve with
all our strength to try to make it a beXer place, and in the words of Stainers Crucixion not pass by on
the other side.

Have a happy and glorious May.

The changing of the clocks can mean only one thing, summer is on
its way! The weather is certainly cooperating and, for once, is
reflecting the season. It has been a very exciting, if long term at
Rowde Academy with the SIAMs inspection, welcoming our new
Vicar, Reverend Ruth Schofield and preparations well underway for
sports day immediately after the Easter Holiday. The new start of the
day is still having a positive impact on the children. They are
enjoying the time to interact with both staff and peers whilst
building their social skills and refining tactics through holding
Connect 4 tournaments!

In Cassiopeia class the children have been studying the Romans and
the impact they had on present day living. They have totally
absorbed themselves into the topic and have loved retelling the story
of the invasion through drama activities, whilst wearing onesies!
The children were lucky enough to have a visit from Mark
Routledge, the outreach worker, from Devizes Museum. It was a
fantastic day and the children had the opportunity to take part in a
range of activities.

To begin the children were given the opportunity to handle artefacts

and through discussion had decide whether they were real or
replicas. They were part of the Roman army and were following
commands from their leader. The morning was rounded off with the lovely topic of toilets! The children
were fascinated to discover that there was no toilet paper and that public toilets were just that, public!
After a short break the children looked at a variety of different patterns and mosaic techniques. They were
given the opportunity to design their own before making them. Whilst all this was going on the children
were imprinting their own Roman coins using a stencil. It was surprising how heavy the wooden mallet
was and how hard we had to hit the metal!

During the afternoon the children were transformed into Roman

soldiers. We discovered why shields were held on the left and that
most of us were too short to even see over the top of it! The chain
mail was so heavy it took two of us to even lift it and the helmets
so large they slipped down our noses. Alongside this the class have
also had a visit from the Wiltshire Fire Service. They were
reminded about making fire plans and how to test smoke alarms.
Do you have a test it Tuesday or a Fire alarm Friday? The
children got into role when having to make a call to the emergency
services and were tested when having to remember their
postcodes! The children are now enjoying a well-deserved holiday
as they continue to thrive in their education. They are incredibly
lucky to have such wonderful opportunities to further their
learning as the coming terms sees the start of the residential trips
and preparations for summer productions and transition to new
schools. We, as staff, will continue to support them to reach their
full potential.
 The next Cafe Church service will be at 11 am on Sunday 4th June as we
celebrate Pentecost, the giving of the Holy Spirit to the early church.

The Cafe opens at 10.45, with drinks and marvellous cakes and will be
followed by a friendly, family centred service with the children taking part
in various ac9vi9es.

 Poulshot Friends & Neighbours
APRIL MEETING - STEWARDSHIP OF SALISBURY PLAIN

We had a talk by Tim Jalland and his colleague Richard on the Stewardship of Salisbury
Plain, and the difficulties of managing the many and varied parts of the Plain. It was
amazing to hear how the ecological and archaeological
sites impacted so much on the Army activity on the
Plain.

We learned that the Plain covered an area the size of

the Isle of Wight and that there were many protected
sites of SSI. There are wonderful, increasing, numbers
of Stone Curlews and something called a fairy shrimp,
bright yellow, which hides in the earth until a mud
puddle, formed by the tanks, appears. The shrimp
emerges, lays its eggs, and when the puddle dries up
disappears back into the ground. They have been
found on other sites after being carried there on tank
tracks.

There is also a thriving community of Great Bustards which has grown from, the original
few that were introduced to the Plain 10 years ago, to about 100. This shows that the
management of the Plain is succeeding. There are also the many and varied ancient sites
including Roman villages, Anglo Saxon cemeteries and settlements and, of course many
Pre-Historic sites. The army trains on the plain, including building villages and towns etc.
to make sure that wherever they go to fight they do it with an awareness of the conditions
they will be fighting in. This is not to go to war but to keep Britain safe. They have even
built graveyards to train the troops to respect cultures and customs in the places they
fight. On the downside we learned that there are idiots who treat the Plain as an off road
site, putting themselves at risk from unexploded ordinance, they have also had walkers
walking off with shells to use as doorstops!! People are welcome to walk the designated
paths as long as they respect their environment and the rules and regulations that apply
for everyones safety, the Plain is there to be enjoyed. It was wonderful to have more than
40 people attend all of whom expressed their enjoyment.

Our next months activity is a visit to the Hawk Conservancy, near Andover, on May 16th.
We will aim to arrive at about 11.00 to 11.30, have a walk round, lunch and see a Display.
We hope that many of you will join us. People will go in their own cars but anyone needing
a lift please contact Pam (828151) or Kate (828333) or make arrangements with friends

We do need your support and I would like to remind everyone that the PF&N is open to

Celebrating the life of Pamela De Belle

31/12/1930 - 01/04/2017

Pam was a long time resident of Poulshot, much loved by

many.

Pam came to Poulshot around 25 years ago, and soon

joined St Peters Church. She was an active member of the
Church community and helped in many ways, including
running a stall at the annual village fete.

She also made posies of flowers for the Mothering Sunday

annual service at the church. Pam always enjoyed the
social events in the village such as the Harvest Supper, the
Fete, Summer Garden Party and picnics in the Green
Gardens.

Probably Pam will be remembered most for

the 15 years she was the organist at St
Peters, retiring in 2015. She played almost
every Sunday and also at Weddings and
Funerals.

Pam was a quite person, probably a little shy,

but always had a smile. She was a very placid
lady. She will be sadly missed and thought of
with affection.

A service was held for Pam on 20th April.
