Neighbourhood Plan Update
As you will recall from the last update, the draft plan was re-submitted to AVDC on 2 July with all amendments made as advised. Whilst AVDC have acknowledged receipt of our submission, they have informed us that due to a combination of summer leave and an influx of urgent statutory matters to be addressed, they are not yet able to send us our feedback. We therefore wait to hear from them in order to be able to finalise our next steps. We will, as ever, keep you fully informed of progress.
The next of our series of features on members of the
local community:
Let’s spend 30 minutes with…
Debbie Humphreys I was born in Iserlohn, Germany as my Dad was in the army and based there at the time.
I live with my partner Tony and our 4 bulldogs.
When my Dad left the army and went into the pub trade, we did a fair bit of travelling around finally settling in Bletchley when I was 15 years old.
I have 2 children Jamie and Chloe and a granddaughter Courtney. They all live in Milton Keynes. I work part time as a medical administrator. Along with walking our dogs and riding my pony Nutmeg I keep pretty busy. As most of you know breeding and showing Bulldogs is my passion and a big part of my life.
1. How long have you lived in Drayton Parslow? I’ve lived in Drayton Parslow 15 years starting at Chapel Lane in 2004, then Church End followed by Bell Close and finally now The Highway. 2. What do you like best about living in Drayton Parslow? I love living in the village and feel so lucky that we are surrounded by such beautiful countryside and wildlife. I think Drayton has a great feel to it and has some great characters. There is always someone to help you out if needed. The fact that we have a great pub in the village is also a bonus! 3. What is your favourite event held in the village? My favourite event in the village has to be the VPA show. It brings everybody together as a community. 4. What is your favourite book / books?
My favourite books are those written by Martina Cole and a close second is Peter James.
5. Who is your favourite celebrity chef & why?
My favourite celebrity chef is Nadia Hussain, she has some very creative ideas and they are so quick and simple even for me. Cooking isn’t my strong point (Tony is the chef in our house)!
6. The film you can watch again & again? The film I could watch again and again has to be True Grit starring John Wayne, great film for a Sunday afternoon.
I have also watched International Velvet several times along with Paint Your Wagon.
7. What is the best job you have ever had? I have to say the best job I had was home dog boarding, I loved looking after the dogs and was fascinated by how different and diverse they all were. I miss them all very much but having moved to a smaller house it was no longer possible to house them along with our gang. Having said that I do enjoy just going to work and coming home without having to plan too far ahead. 8.What is your favourite place to visit? I don’t have a specific place that is my favourite. I just love travelling to foreign places and experiencing the different cultures and most of all the food! Our adventure this year was Thailand where we managed to stay on the floating hotel on the River Kwai and visit the elephant sanctuary in Chiang Mai. Both were wonderful experiences.
9. Who would be your special guests at a dinner?
My special guests for dinner would be Ali Campbell from UB40, Suggs from Madness and Lee Marvin.
Holy Trinity News
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth…
By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so, on the seventh day he rested from all
his work. (Gen 1:1 & 2:2)
As I write we are approaching the end of the school holidays and have just celebrated a bank holiday. I’ve been away with the family and had a chance to rest and relax together. Of course, by the time you read this schools will be back - maybe you are going away now or had the chance to do so earlier in the year.
But what has all this got to do with the biblical account of creation as in the verses above? Rest is something the Bible tells us God created for our benefit; after he had completed the work of creation he rested. A few verses further on, we read that He blessed the 7th day and made it holy.
God has created us as creatures who need time off. It can be tempting to work, especially for those of us who have jobs we particularly enjoy or work for ourselves all the hours we can. However, this is not good for our own health or our relationship - that is why God made space for rest.
I want to encourage you to take time out, time with family and/or friends, catching up with people you’ve not seen for a while, time to do something different from work. God set in place a day off a week and we should take that (at least!), but we also need longer breaks, we need holidays.
I hope you have had or have coming a chance for a break and for those who have a tendency to be a bit of a workaholic to not feel guilty about time out. Taking time to rest voluntarily is always better than being forced to rest because our bodies start to tell us enough is enough.
God bless. Simon

The Flint Street Nativity by Tim Firth – early Christmas festivities with Stewkley Players
From the playwright who brought us Calendar Girls. Mrs Horrocks’ class of seven year olds is
getting ready to perform their nativity play to their proud mums and dads. What can go wrong?
Gabriel really wants to play Mary and is determined to get her way, the Star grumbles he is not a
real star and he should know - his Uncle Ted works for NASA, Herod is obsessed with pretend-
playing TV sports quiz shows, and the subversive innkeeper is determined to liven things up in his
own way. Then the stick insect escapes….
This is a a warm and funny play with parts of the storyline set to traditional carol music, with the
children acted by adults who then later play their parents. Tickets will go on sale from the
telephone box office [07845 489 167] on October 28th, or from the village hall box office 10am to
12 noon on Sunday 3rd, 10th and 17th November. Play nights are Wednesday 20th to Saturday
23rd November.

Your Garden In Autumn Gardening Advice from Gill Gallon, Potash Nursery www.potashplants.co.uk
You might consider the October garden to be coming to an end, but there is much to see and even more to do. If you haven’t already done so, now is time to pull up summer bedding. You should get the spring plants and bulbs in while the soil is moist, so that they can grow and establish before winter.
Plants of the Moment – Berried Treasures
Berry-bearing trees and shrubs come into their own in autumn, creating colourful displays that can last well into winter. From elder berries to rose hips, crab apples to firethorns, the addition of berrying plants adds to a new dimension to any garden, with plants carry fruits and berries through autumn and into winter. Evergreen shrubs provide structure and form to the garden throughout the year; many produce early displays of flowers followed by autumn berries. Some of the best include Pyracantha
(Firethorn) with red, yellow or orange berries, Skimmia- many female varieties produce wonderful displays of berries including Skimmia japonica subsp. reevesiana, Skimmia japonica ‘Nymans' and ‘Obsession'. Male varieties are equally appealing with great flower displays, like ‘Magic Marlot' and ‘Rubella'. Gaultheria mucronata (formerly called Pernettya) come with berries in pink, red or pure white, looking great in a pot. Cotoneaster, a deciduous or evergreen shrub, grows as ground cover, hedging or wall covering and includes Cotoneaster horizontalis, Cotoneaster ‘Coral Beauty', C. ‘Cornubia', C. lacteus, and many others. Or for something a bit different, try the purple berries of Callicarpa bodinieri ‘Profusion’.
Jobs for the garden 1. Plant spring-flowering bulbs such as snowdrops and daffodils but leave planting tulip bulbs until
November 2. Deadhead roses to bring a little flurry of October colour. Reduce long climbing stems to protect
them from the ravages of the wind, reduce just enough to keep them secure. 3. Now is the best time to plant trees and shrubs while the soil is warm and moist. Although you
can plant pot-grown shrubs all year, in autumn you can also buy bare-root trees and shrubs and all will establish more easily.
4. Divide herbaceous perennials. Lift clumps and then divide into pieces, either by prising apart with two forks or cutting up with a spade or bread knife. Each piece needs some leaves and roots.
5. Harvest crops of onions when the leaves begin to flop over. Pumpkins and squash should be raised off the ground to ripen in the sun before harvesting. Harvest sweetcorn when the juice turns creamy and the tassels brown
6. Dig up remaining potatoes. Store in a hessian sack with some slug pellets 7. Leaves need to be cleared so brush or rake them off lawns and paths and put on a compost heap
or place in a black bin bag, put a few holes in the bag, tie it up and leave it alone till next year. 8. Carry out autumn lawn maintenance, including aerating, scarifying, top dressing and feeding.
Reseed bare patches, and create new lawn from seed. 9. Attack overgrown ponds. Plants should cover a maximum of 50%of the surface, so clear-out if
yours is more. Divide and replant waterlilies at the same time, and remove leaves as they turn yellow.
10. Move truly frost-tender plants into the greenhouse. Lift frost tender summer flowered bulbs and tubers Gladioli, Dahlia, Canna and Begonias require special attention at this time.

A Good Read David Perry recommends…
Trials of the State: Law and the
Decline of Politics
by Jonathan Sumption. Profile Books. 104 Pages
This short read, based almost
completely on his Reith
lectures covers the areas of
law and politics and presents
ideas on the interplay of
both.
If you want a better
understanding of how public
opinion, the political process
and the courts intersect,
particularly as all three of
these are presently engaged
over Brexit, then these 104
pages may well help.
His key point is that one of the achievements of politics
and the democratic process is that by catering to a
broad church through political engagement of the
parties at grass roots level across communities, elected
representatives are able to arrive at policies that do not
satisfy everyone but that most people can live
with. Also the legitimacy that comes from an electoral
mandate in an inclusive open democracy of this type is
better than an autocratic alternative. There is a
question to be asked about the role of yes/no
referendums on complex issues in this context.
Sumption also contrasts the examples of an unwritten
constitution (UK) and written (USA) and explores the
concept of principles enshrined in a constitution that
are so fundamental that they trump (no pun intended)
any efforts by the elected legislature to circumvent
them, and how the courts when given the job of
defining the boundaries of these written principles, as
they increasingly are asked to do, are prone to mission
creep and are not always immune to politicisation
themselves.
For the most part there is a lovely rhythm to the writing
and language, although you may find yourself Googling
"fissiparous" at one point.
Lord Sumption states that the text is adapted to cover
some of the post-lecture Q&A although to my eye there
is little evidence of that. In fact one of the most
interesting responses he gave was that in the case of a
supreme court judgement in the UK in the absence of
knowledge of the political leanings of Judges that he
knew personally quite well, he was quite wrong about
guessing which way they would rule, this in contrast of
course to the United States example where political
appointments are the norm.
Also missing is some back and forth about Brexit where,
after answering with his usual clarity a question from
the audience regarding the Miller case, the questioner
merely repeated their question in a way that clearly
showed he had not listened to the answer. This is, I fear,
an example of the deaf ear that we can all too easily
turn to participation in politics and our politicians.
As Lord Sumption says in his conclusion noting our
disengagement at grass roots level “we will not
recognise the end of democracy if it comes…institutions
are imperceptibly drained of everything that once made
them democratic…the rhetoric of democracy will be
unchanged, but it will be meaningless. And the fault
will be ours".

Emily Sutherby recommends…The Horse Trust
The Horse Trust is the world’s oldest horse charity and provides
retirement for working horses and ponies and also looks after
them in cases of cruelty or neglect.
The centre’s in Speen, surrounded by beautiful scenery, it’s about a 50-minute drive from Drayton
(but well worth it!) and is open for visitors Thursday-Sunday afternoons.
You can meet a variety of horses and donkeys while walking round the stables, from miniature
Shetlands to ex police horses! It makes a lovely afternoon out, especially as they now have a tearoom
too.
I have many happy memories there of when I used to visit with my Nanny and Grandad, however it
was much smaller back then and we used to take a picnic as there wasn’t a tea room, it’s no wonder I
still love horses now!!

VPA SHOW 2019 This August certainly gave us a few heart stopping
moments! High winds and heavy rain.
Thursday 9th August was the day allocated for putting up
the marquee for the Village Show. The weather forecast
for the weekend was not looking good, it was decided
that for safety reasons the marquee would not be put up
this year. Now the VPA team went into overdrive, the
Greenacre Hall would be needed for the exhibits,
stallholders were notified about the change of plan,
everyone was very understanding and the Stall holders
who still wanted to brave the weather were allocated a
space in the more sheltered area behind the Sports and
Social Club.
Vegetable and flower exhibits were down again this year
(the weather!!), but cookery, handicrafts and the
children’s classes saw a rise in entries. A big thank you
to everyone who made the effort to enter, without you
there wouldn’t be a show.
The dog show was again a
big success, many thanks to
our judge Tom Borland from
Medical Detection Dogs who
thoroughly enjoyed his day.
The evening event was another great success with
everyone enjoying an 80’s themed disco and a live
performance from G Elvis.
Extra special thanks to Steve and Denice Sharrock for all
their donations and their time and expertise running the
bar for most of the evening. Thanks also to Tim Pollard
for donating the meat for the BBQ.
Our new class “Best Front Garden” was won by Helen
New from North Close. The judge said it was a well-
maintained garden with a good variety of plants and it
had “kerb appeal”.
Let’s hope this inspires you all to work on your front
gardens ready for next year’s competition. It doesn’t
have to be big to be beautiful!!
Advance warning next year’s show will be on 15th
August, start planning your entries now.
A big thank you to all the VPA team who worked
incredibly hard to make this year’s show the success it
was.
Long may we continue!
