This time I’d like to try a slightly different approach. Most of the litter we find is on the roads leading into Shapwick as opposed to the lanes within. So for this litter pick I am proposing that we transport some of the pickers to the Parish boundary and they walk back, probably in teams of three, two pickers and someone to keep an eye out for traffic. By driving them out, we can cover all of the entry points. Any full bags can be left on the verge and we’ll collect them at the end to save carrying everything back to the Pavilion.

A mischievous witch has cast a spell on Shapwick, scrambling all the names of the roads. This has really confused Kwip the starling, who relies on the street names to remember his route home. He can’t work it out. Can you help him by filling out the the names of each scrambled road? Just another little thing: the witch was super sneaky and added a non-existent road to the mix. Circle the road that isn’t in Shapwick! Good luck! Since this is the Autumn issue, I’ve given my activity a Halloween theme. I know it’s a little bit early, but I hope you like it anyway! We’d like to rename our mascot starling (currently Kwip) Please let us have some ideas, it has to be linked to our village in some way. Name our mascot: 7 AUTUMN I S SUE | OCTOBER 2 0 2 5 Finally, we will have to see what happened to the wild flower area we planted in the spring given the very dry weather we experienced. Plants and nature are resilient, so fingers crossed some have survived. You may remember this time last year we applied for the thermal image camera to help assess home energy efficiency by looking at a thermal image of your property. I have applied again, hopefully this year we will be successful. Anyone who expressed an interest last time I still have your details, if you would be like to be included this time around; please email me at: sustainable@shapwick.org. We’ll still need teams to cover inside the village, so please do come along to support, bring the children and/or the dog. Once again, Wendy Anderson has kindly offered to open the Cricket Pavilion for a hot drink and a breakfast roll afterwards.
