Full Moon & Eclipse – Monday, 16th May

The first lunar eclipse of 2022 occurs with Monday’s Full Moon.

The eclipse will happen in the early hours before dawn, as the Moon is low on the horizon, and the Moon will take on an increasingly red colour as totality approaches.
Totality of the eclipse is at 4:29am, Monday morning, but weather permitting, early risers will be rewarded with a bright brownish-red Moon before it descends below the horizon just after 5am.

Other names attributed to this Moon full of the promise of summer are:

Leaf Budding Moon
Planting Moon
Egg Laying Moon
Field Making Moon
Frog Moon
Moon Of The Shedding Ponies!

Next month on 14th June 2022, the Strawberry Moon will be the first Supermoon of 2022.

Bob Wills’ Family Say Thank You

“Bob Wills’ family would like to express their deep gratitude to everyone who was able to attend his memorial on Friday 6th of May. To see so many of his local friends, and hear how loved he was, was a great comfort to us all. The day felt to be a genuine celebration of a life well-lived. ”

“We would like to give special thanks to Bridget and Katie for their beautiful violin and cello pieces at the funeral service, and to Brian for his wonderful organ music. Thank you to Liz and Megan for their beautiful floral decoration of the church, and to Lynne, Val and John for their splendid transformation of the village hall.

Warning! Farmers WILL shoot your dogs!

Local Farmers, Andrew & Tim Frampton have issued the following warning after an incident on Lewesdon hill earlier today.

“This morning three labradors chased our sheep in the first field at the end of sheep wash lane heading to Lewesdon hill.The owners let them off the lead and they ran riot chasing the young lambs and forcing some ewes down a gully into the common. The dogs then chased the cattle in the next field up.

I would ask all dog owners to keep your dogs on a lead in fields with livestock . As landowners we have the right to shoot dogs caught worrying livestock and chasing the sheep.
Please, if you see fellow dog walkers not with their dogs on the lead in these fields, not picking up dog mess behind them or even roaming around the fields off the footpath – please Inform them to stick to the countryside code.

With the grass laid up for silage making please stay on the footpath and pick up the sticks you throw for your dogs as bigs ones can damage harvesting machinery.”

Tim Frampton caught three teenagers, 2 boys and a girl and after denying it, they said they couldn’t get the dogs to come back.

”We will shoot dogs if we catch them chasing the sheep. We spent hours lambing the ewes in the middle of the night through January and have no reservations about the repercussions.”

– Andrew & Tim Frampton
