CHURCH NEWS: Telscombe Cliffs Community Church. This weekend we were delighted to host a civic service for Telscombe Town council and welcome our New town mayor Cllr Daryll Brindley to his mayoral year. It was lovely to meet the new first family, town councillors and town clerk who all attended the service

FOOTNOTES: There was no way of avoiding it. I would have to be away at least overnight and that was that. My problem to this existed in the form of a large black and white cat, with a huge ego and a strong dislike of any change to the status quo of his living arrangements. This can show itself even when I have been out for even a few hours. I return home to invariable find Chaplin sitting at the end of the hall, facing the front door, his whole demeanour reminding me of some Theatrical landladies I knew in the past, who, if I was later than usual, or worse, accompanied by a friend, would greet me at the front door, literally arms akimbo and a face like thunder. Once, in weekly rep. on the Devon coast, I shared digs with a young and engaged actress in the show. One Saturday her fiancée came down from London to see her, we all went for a drink afterwards and being young and carefree, didn’t realise the time until the pub started closing. The last train had long gone, and I suggested that the fiancée return with us and she could smuggle him into her room. We accomplished this easily enough, but around two thirty in the morning, the fiancée badly needed to answer the call of nature. My actress friend whispered how to find the toilet and off he went. Ten minutes and then twenty minutes went by, with my actress friend becoming more agitated. After a while, the bedroom door opened and the roller covered head of the landlady in dressing gown and slippers appeared. ‘Excuse me dear’, she asked, ‘Did you bring anyone back tonight?’ My friend started to stutter an apology. ‘It doesn’t matter really dear’, replied the landlady, ‘Only he has just got into bed with me’. I arranged for a very kindly lady to pop in and take care of Chaplin’s needs. The pair struck up quite a bond, so much so I have a sneaking impression that he is positively looking forward to my being absent in the future. The weather continues to be wonderful. Enjoy it wherever you go.
