A warm welcome to this July Issue of The Parish News!

What excitement in the past month! The Church remains covered in scaffolding - ru-mour has it that a mobile phone mast is go-ing on top of the tower in the shape of an

angel to make it the tallest building in East Devon - But my inside sources say that is definitely not the case and work on the clock and pointing will take place shortly. However, Jack Thomas’s article on the Rood Screen has stirred things up a bit see page 11 for further details. The Vicar, Jeremy White, has retired on health grounds, as you will no doubt know, and we will all miss him. He has steered the church into a new era over the past 9 years, and leaves us a stronger and more vibrant Body of worshipers. We wish him and his family well as they begin their move out of Uplyme. The Church officers now have the difficult task of ap-pointing a replacement. With the Diocese and Church of England strug-gling financially, a full time replacement will not be forth coming. The task of looking after our Parish and that of Axmouth will become a part-time appointment. As much as the Church would like to have a full time replace-ment, this is just not possible or part of the Diocesan and Deanery plan. What a great Village Fete we had, fine weather blessed us once again, see page XXX for the total raised. Good to see Roger Grose (retired Head of Mrs Ethelstons) back in Uplyme to open the Fete for us. I didn’t do quite so well at the “Welly Wanging”! I almost hit the stall holder on the head with a size 10 green boot! - Good height, but no distance! Talking of School / Education, WELL DONE to all those University gradu-ates who have returned with their results (Wendy is ready to employ you at the Pub! See page XXX for more info!) & GOOD LUCK to the GCSE & A level students, who will be biting their nails for the next month or so, until the results come out! Hope this month is kind to you, I’m off to sample the sunny climbs of Grimsby at some point! Maybe see how their scallops compare to Si-the-fishs’ who's had a great early sum-mer so far, his report is on page XXX Regards Ed

JEREMY WHITE

As members of the local community you will know that the Rector Jeremy White is retiring on ill heath grounds and leaving the parish in the summer. The church will be marking his 9 years of ministry with a leaving gift and it has been suggested that many in the parish might wish to make a contribution. Any donation will be gratefully received by Carol

Linsley ( Church Administrator) at Church or Neil Pullinger ( Church Treasurer ) at Uplyme Village Post Office.

Many thanks for sharing in recognising Jeremy's work and ministry. Carole Fowkes and David Hardman ( Church wardens)

ROYAL BRITISH LEGION WOMEN'S SECTION - UPLYME BRANCH After two years of being rained off, our Garden Meeting actually took place in a garden this year! The weather was perfect. Guests from Axminster and Char-mouth branches were welcomed by the ladies of Uplyme

and after an amusing quiz which kept our brains ticking over; a delicious cream tea was served. There was a good quality raffle and a table of goods for sale - garden produce, cakes, jam etc. which provided quite a lot of interest. All our guests declared themselves very happy with the after-noon and the money raised will go to the Royal British Legion's good causes. So, an afternoon very well spent. Pat Carroll

MOTHERS UNION Our speaker in June was Irve Griffiths, our Youth Leader. He told us about his life and those who had influ-enced him and he told us of the work he does with young people. We are seeing the results of his example and his teaching, in the great number of children who come to differ-

ent services in the church and obviously enjoy it, together with the times of music, surfing and holiday clubs that they share. We have a great respect for Irve! Iris Cox

Tegucigalpa Rubbish Dump School.

Many of you will remember Uplyme Church's’ support of the “Rubbish Dump Kids” in Honduras. In 2001 Pastor Jeony Ordoňez (who had been working with street kids in Tegucigalpa, Honduras) went to the city dump to throw away his rubbish with his young daughter. They saw hundreds of kids, not much older than his five-year old daughter, sorting through rub-bish with their bare hands! He new he had to help and started a school under a tree in a nearby field. From those early beginnings it now has two two-story school buildings and teaches around 150 children, in kindergarten through eighth grade. The grounds are in the process of construction and soon a cafeteria and vocational school will be completed.

Please take time look at their website and see the wonderful work that has been inspired by God in this area.

Thank you to all those people who contributed and helped make this possible.

Fractured English – 4 Past Participles. A minefield for many, so tread warily. For example, “I don’t see Chel-sea getting beat today.” - Drogba. No, Didier, the pp or past participle of beat is beaten. Recently I have come across slayed, wreaked and falled as pps. In case you are wondering, they should be slain, wrought and fallen. The trouble is that when you get your grammar or syntax wrong, people usually still understand what you are saying. So does it matter? Well, yes, it does. It’s a bit like table manners; we don’t want too much egg on our shirt fronts, do we? Anyway, here is the best golfer in the world. All right, he’s hot on his mid-irons and putts, but can he cope with a past participle in a stiff breeze? Let’s see. “I didn’t hit the ball as well as I’d like to, but I grinded my way along and had two chip-ins, which was nice.” Now then, Tiger, we are delighted with your chip-ins but my dictionary says that grinded is obsolete as the pp of the verb to grind. I think what you wanted was ground. Then there’s that tousle-haired blond who calls himself Mayor of London. How is he coping with the English language? He said recently, “There is no hope left, they muttered, as they slinked off to their yachts and into the night.” Boris, Boris, shame on you. Slinked should be slunk. Didn’t they teach you anything at Eton? Plurals & Singulars. Most plurals end in s, but if they are Latin words ending in um they change to an a in the plural. Geoffrey Boycott was obviously never taught Latin at his school in Yorkshire. He said on Radio 4 ‘a Media reported that…’. Sorry, Geoff, but you should have said ‘the Media reported that’. Media cannot be singular. Likewise, we have stadia and even gymnasia. By the way, Graffiti is always plural (singular: graffito). A Court Martial becomes (improbably) in the plural Courts Martial (because the adjective martial is incapable of being pluralised). What about it’s and its ? Are you confident that you know the difference and can use them faultlessly? Here’s a foolproof tip. Just remember that it’s = It is and its is the possessive adjective as in the dog and its bone. Unique is a superlative and should not therefore be qualified. Try to avoid saying very unique, rather unique or quite unique. Hopefully Yuk, Yuk, Yuk! Hopefully is a perfectly respectable word which used to mean (and still does) in anticipation of. Thus the schoolboys laid a booby trap for their teacher and waited hopefully for him to fall into it. There is a German adverb – hoffentlich – which crossed the Atlantic to America and then has been imported back across the Pond by Yan-kee tourists. Resist it as you would a hernia. Just use I hope. Aside from is an Americanism with a perfectly good old English alternative. If you think KFC and MacNugget are the height of haute cuisine, go ahead and use it. But we do have apart from. I don’t mind them playing cricket. This is a solecism which Times Sports reporters regu-larly commit. Playing is a verbal noun and should take an adjective. Thus I don’t mind their playing cricket. Radio 4 said recently, It’s really up to we politicians. Yuk! We should be us. Got is good verbal English but bad written English. We say got, Americans say have. Thus Do you have any money? is good American while Have you got any money? is accept-able English. It’s a funny old language, English, innit? Jack Thomas

Return to Makhosini As many of you know we as a Church and lots of other friends and family have been supporting eMakhosini Primary School in KwaZulu Natal for the past 4 years. Planning permission has (finally) been given to build the new classroom and the army has agreed to do the build as an exercise. There is still however no firm date for starting the build. To quote my contact in South Africa, “oh dear, this has been a hurry up and wait process!” (Africa time). I am going back there in August so please watch this space and pray that I will be able to bring back some photos and a progress report!

Thank you Marilyn Kent

Mellow Birds – Spring 2009 Last term, we had 6 weeks studying the Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren. The group really enjoyed the daily readings and teaching. We felt at the end of the course, a new passion for life and its challenges. This term, we are very for-

tunate to be able to look at a selection of Bible studies compiled by Fiona Stratta. The studies are very thought provoking and so far they are proving very popular within our group. We are very excited to be planning another “Pampering Evening” later on this term. This is our chance to give something back to some of the people within our community. More details nearer the time. Mellow birds meet every Thursday, 10 to 11.30am in term time and we welcome new members. We have a crèche available for the under 3’s, but you do not have to have a little one to join our sessions. For more information, contact Margaret Trafford 443252, Kate Whit-tome 445744 or Nicky Griffith 445081.

Teenage vocations on Facebook

Eighteen would-be priests attending the Church of England’s first specially organ-ised vocations conference for young people in more than 30 years are to continue meeting on Facebook as they listen to their calling. The Call Waiting… website www.callwaiting.org.uk contains a wealth of essential information for people in-terested in finding out more about training to be a Church of England priest. It was launched at General Synod in York in July 2008.

Out &About With John Pennington Has anyone heard a cuckoo in Uplyme this year? I have not, and actually I am not sure if I ever have! The Penningtons’ were watch-ing a programme about these fascinating birds and in particular their young, who instinctively remove the young of the foster nest where they as eggs were laid (often a willow warbler) they then get preferential treatment by their foster parents. By the time they fly from the nest they are larger than their foster parents (who have been feeding him/her in blissful ignorance) and after a short while head of for South Africa. Cuckoos are getting pretty scarce these days due to the loss of habitat of the birds whose nests they lay their eggs in. Their sound is so distinctive though it has to rank in the top 10 country sounds. Have you spotted any Dogs' Mer-cury along the lanes or woodlands of Uplyme? Its Latin name is Mer-curialis perennis and its (as its name implies) poisonous. Along with Giant Hogweed that I men-tioned last month Dogs Mercury is among a number of fairly common plants that are best avoided due to their chemical make up. I was in-tending to put a photo of a speci-men in, but it’s not the most attrac-tive plant so I thought I'd put a Foxglove in instead. Foxgloves are also highly toxic and best avoided. They are sometimes known as Dead Man's Bells or Witches' Gloves. Despite its other less glamorous names I still think the Foxglove is one of the most beautiful sights in the Devon lanes in June. Until next time.... JP

Si-the-fish Mackerel have kicked in late this year. This is be-cause it's been quite cool up 'til June and they don't show until the waters are warmer. So to all of you “Tripping Boat” customers, now's the time to think about popping out with the “Salty Old Seadogs” again and hook yourselves some delicious Mack-erel!

Lyme's first food festival was a great success. We sold out, along with many other stallholders. For a first time event, we're really pleased. As time goes on, it would be nice to have it slightly further along Marine Pa-rade, reason being, it would be great to have some performance art or music up in the gardens, wafting down onto the hungry folk. It was great to spend time with Mark Hix and Mitch Tonks. Mitch recently sold his 'Fishworks' brand and has started the new 'RockFish Grill' chain of restaurants. His seafood knowledge is amazing and I learned a thing or two. Mark Hix treated us to fishing trip the day before and I did my back in reeling in a Conger (or longfish as we like to call it now!). Where Mitch knows it, Mark feels it. Good luck to them both and thanks for the tips guys! Simon Bennett - mobile 07815 528020

Hymns

Some weeks ago I was contacted by Jane Stubbs from Burton Bradstock who sub-sequently sent me a document dated 1876 relating to Uplyme Parish Church. It appears that the Burton Bradstock Church Organ was purchased from Uplyme Parish Church in 1938. Found in the organ at some stage recently was the organ-ist's copy of the Hymns for the fourth Sunday after Trinity1876. The services for the day were: Morning Prayer Hymn 134 Hymn 177 Evening Prayer Hymn 311 Hymn 343 Hymn 276 The document is on the notice board at the back of church. There will be a small prize for the first person to identify the hymns (organists and choir are not ex-cluded!!) David Hardman (CW)

FAMILY PAGE organised by Iris Cox Out of the wood of thoughts that grow by night To be cut down by the sharp axe of light - Out of the night, two cocks together crow, Cleaving the darkness with a single blow; And bright before my eyes twin trumpeters stand Heralds of splendour, one at either hand, Each facing each as in a coat of arms; The milkers lace their boots up at the farms. Edward Thomas Mint Julep This is a very lovely summer drink - the best one I know. 1. Wash a large bunch of mint (eau de cologne

mint is especially good) and put it in a basin. 2. Bruise it and add a cup of sugar, a carton of

pineapple juice and the juice of 4 lemons. 3. Cover and let it stand for some hours, then

strain into a tall jug. 4. Add 3 bottles of dry ginger ale, cubes of ice,

thin slices of lemon and sprigs of mint. To preserve mint for the winter pick a bunch of fresh mint in the morning, after the dew has gone, and spread it out to dry on kitchen paper. When crisply dry, strip the leaves from the stems and put in air-tight jars. Iris Cox Oral hygiene Grandfather noticed his five year old granddaughter out in the garden brushing the family dog’s teeth. When he asked her what in the world she was doing, she replied quickly: “I’m brushing Sooty’s teeth. But don’t worry, grand-pa – I’ll put your toothbrush back, like I always have.”

The Rood Screen After last months article regarding the Rood Screen, there has been quite an inter-esting response, with a number of people heartily in favour of removing it, some absolutely against it and others really don't care! What would be great is, if we could have some idea of where you stand regarding the screen and if it enhances or detracts from the church services. Email or write to me at the address at the back of the magazine by the 10th July. I will report back in the next issue with the results Ed.

This term the Pre-school have been thinking about dance and they were treated to a dance show from Mrs Ethelstons year 3 children. The children watched the dancing and enjoyed their fruit snacks and

drinks during the performance. By the end of the Summer term two more of the staff will have finished their NVQ training. Congratulations to Nicky and Tracey for completing theirs al-ready. We are also making preparations for the extension at the hall for our new storage space and toilets. We would like to have some more news in the Au-tumn term report confirming the plans. We will be having our Sports day this term and hope to have photos for you sometime in the September term, lets keep our fingers crossed that the weather is good! We are looking forward to the Summer holidays and wish the children that are starting school in September a happy start at Mrs Ethelstons. We will be welcoming 14 new children into the Pre-school in the Autumn term so if you wish to send your child along please contact: Annie on 01297 24318.

Mrs Ethelstons School The end of the school year is fast approaching and many of the classes are involved in end of term trips and events. Our Year 6 children went on a residential

trip to Barton Hall in Torquay for a range of outdoor activities in-cluding abseiling and survival. We’ve also had trips to Lyme Regis beach, the Fossil Festival, Charmouth Heritage Centre, a dairy day at the Magdalen centre and Coombe Farm, and a music festival at the Marine Theatre. We were also able to hold our first sports day in 4 years! Later this term we will be holding our Summer Tea on the Terrace at the Village Hall. There will be games provided by the children, and articles for sale, all made by the children, with an inter-national theme! The end of term will see our annual leaver’s service, where our Year 6 children tell us their memories of Mrs Ethelston’s and they receive their bibles. It is always a very emotional time as they begin a new journey in life and we hope we have given them the skills to cope with the challenges ahead. This year Mr Brown left us to become Head Teacher at St Mary’s in Axminster and at the end of this term Miss White, our Foundation stage teacher will be taking up a new post in Kent. We wish them both the best of luck in their new schools. As I reflect on another school year, it is amazing how much we have achieved again in all aspects of school life. We have had fantastic success in sports events; representing Dorset at county level in football. Netball, tag rugby and cricket. We also had out-standing academic success in the Primary league tables, being the top school in Devon! The school is always vibrant and the children are happy and confident. And so another year goes by ……………. Andrea Rice

News from the Pub We would like to say a very big thank you to all who came and supported the annual pub footy match, it was another great afternoon and the skills of the footballers had the capacity crowd cheering (in dis-belief!!) The Talbot Boot was retained this year by the Black and White Team captained by Stuart the Gooner, so, better luck next year for Captain Adrian “Campsite” Morgan and the Red Team. The worthy winner of referees’ man of the match went to Dr Forbes Watson, who I am told could be signed up at

any time to inspire the ‘OTHER’ Black and White Team!! Our collection on the day, which was very much appreciated, went to The Gig Club. Special thanks as always to The Ref Andy Cleer, the linesmen, to Steve for feed-ing us and to Fluxy for providing the Disco. Some of you may have noticed we have managed to keep an Uplyme resi-dent from the scrap heap! Yes, the old “Red Phone Box” has a new home in our Garden minus the phone of course! We are delighted with our new signs so big thanks to Eric, Ian and Scott. The Garden is still undergoing transformation, thanks to Nigel, Neil and his men. It’s already much im-proved on last year. Next on the agenda is painting the fence and the out-side porch. It’s the time of year that I love, all our village university stu-dents home for the summer ‘loads of staff’!! It really is great to see them all at the pub. At last… and just in time for the summer trade, we have our new floor, we chose reclaimed Blue Lias Flagstones for the front of the bar and a nice piece of ‘Axminster’ for the restaurant, that’s all the jobs done indoors until the winter. I am told the Men’s trip to Otter Brewery was a great success apparently The Talbot Party drank more real Ale than any other Pub in the past (now there’s a surprise!) Steve is still working on a date for the Beer Festival and will let you know ASAP. The Junior Football Team had their end of season presentation at the pub, congratulations to all the players of their success. Well that’s it for this month, but would just like to send our love and con-gratulations to Maddie and Wilf on the recent Wedding. Best Wishes To You All Wendy

Tips from the Handyman “Keep your painted edges clean! If you have a very steady hand, you may be able to paint up to an edge (e.g. skirting, door frames) without mak-ing a mess. But if like me you find it hard to paint a straight edge, then masking is the answer. It only costs a couple of pounds to buy masking tape, but saves a lot of time and frustration. Don’t use the ordinary sort from the stationers, but choose an easy re-lease (low tack) brand from the DIY store or builders’ merchant – most professional kinds tell you how many days they can be left in place be-fore they stick for good. Arrange things so you paint the woodwork first,

then mask that. If you do the opposite, it’s much easier to pull emulsion off the walls – especially if you have any damp, which is common in older stone cottages or newly-plastered walls.”

Uplyme Village Fete

Here s a picture of the chair (150 of them ) that we are purchasing for the Village Hall. If anyone, group of people, or hall user group would like to buy a chair or chairs ,they are £20 each. Names of purchasers will be dis-played along with those who "bought a brick" and "tacked a tile" when we first built the hall. Please call Paula on 01297 631919 if you would like to donate. I'm sure everyone will be delighted with the new “padded” chairs. STOP PRESS STOP PRESS Thank you to all the sponsors, helpers, organisers and attendees at this years Village Fete. We were again very lucky with the weather and we took in excess of £2,000 and hope to clear £1,500 profit. Paula Wyon - Brown

1st Lym Valley Cubs. End of year report

We have had a wide and varied pro-gramme over the past year, with 18

boys currently in attendance. In September we invested 8 new Cubs and took a group swimming, thanks to the parents who helped. We visited Offwell Woodland Education Centre in October where the boys pond-dipped and researched mini-bugs. This is the start of their Naturalist Badge. For creativity this month, we tie/dyed t-shirts. In November, Cubs and Parents were invited to Pinhay Residential Home to enjoy their firework display and supper. A collection was made for Ox-fam. Thanks to Robin and Carole Hodges for their kind hospitality. This month was rounded off by good attendance at the Remembrance Day ser-vice at Uplyme Church. The theme for December was very much centred around entertainment, as the boys practised and put on their very own “gang show” in the scout hut to which parents were invited. A collection was made in aid of the “Starlight Trust” which is a charity for ill children. We were pleased to hand over a cheque to Larraine Morgan for £50. January is always a difficult month due to the long cold winter, however, we were most grateful to Mrs Threlfall Eyres for providing a fun-packed evening of indoor games. In February, we were lucky enough to have Chef Darryl Moss come to the scout hut to provide inspiration for the Chef Badge. He prepared home-made burgers and delicious tomato sauce which were enjoyed by all. A handful of boys have completed the IT and Musician badges from home. Well done to them for their hard work and enthusiasm. Cub Leaders at-tended a 1st Response course in Honiton towards the end of February. This covered first aid and incident management. In March we were pleased to receive a visit from Peter Exley of the RSPB, based in Exeter who gave an excellent talk on the albatross which was extremely well received by the boys and parents alike. We continue to encourage our community to save their stamps for this worthy cause. We visited the Town Museum to finalise the Local Knowledge Badge. Thanks to the Curator and her helpers who opened especially for us and gave an interesting talk on the history of the Jurassic Coast and what can be dis-

21

covered on the beaches in our locality. The St Georges Day Parade was held in Ottery St Mary this year and thanks to the Cubs and their parents who travelled there to attend this ser-vice. This month (May) Malcolm Greenslade, John Pennington and Charlie Wheadon conducted the Cycling Proficiency Badge with 13 Cubs. 6 passed, with the remaining boys needing to improve their cycle handling and/or road awareness skills. This badge is particularly difficult for the younger Cubs, but is a very important part of their development. Some of the boys who need to retake will be ready next term in September, whereas some of them may need longer. Thanks to Malcolm, John, Char-lie and Gillian for giving up their Saturday morning for this activity. Last month Axminster Cubs challenged 1st Lym Valley to a rounders match in Uplyme. Despite the windy evening, the rain held off and a good time was had by all with 1st Lym Valley winning by 7 to 4 rounders. Hurrah! Lastly, we accompanied 18 Cubs to the PGL Activity Camp in Osmington Bay in Weymouth for the last weekend of May, leaving Friday evening and returning Sunday evening. All Cub Leaders attended with the additional help of Fiona Common to make up the Cub to leader ratio needed. Thanks to her for coming forward to help make this trip possible. We all had a fantastic time. Other events to look forward to this year are grass sledging and a BBQ at “Bumpy” and we shall be having various stalls at the Uplyme Fete. We shall be completing the Scientist badge by taking the Cubs rock pooling and later on organising for a speaker to come and talk about bees. To round off the summer we hope to take the boys to the Lyme Regis Aquar-ium or fly kites. Thanks to the parents who have contributed by making cakes, donating china and manning stalls at fetes and jumble sales. These events are im-portant as not only do they contribute to necessary fundraising which helps run the scout hut but they also raise our profile in the community. Finally, many thanks to Paula and John Wyon-Brown for all their support to the Cubs over the past year in running the hut and maintaining the outdoor areas. We are very grateful to them for making the hut a cleaner, brighter and safer place to meet. Sam Pennington

1st Lym Valley Beaver Scouts This term has started off really well with a visit to Brian Lugg’s farm and seeing the new lambs. Some of the Beavers got to feed the lambs with bottles of milk. We have been making model boats and sailing

them down the river Lym, there was an assortment of vessels but unfortunately not all survived the treacherous waters! This half of the term we will be out and about gaining the Adventure badge. Lighting fires and cooking bread, grass sledging and we will be joining the Uplyme Morris dancers to put on a little display of dancing at Shire House for the residents. We plan to be doing an-other Pirate treasure hunt down on Marine Parade and hopefully the Beavers will find some ’treasure’ on the beach. We will finish off with our Beach Olympics and BBQ before we break up for the sum-mer holidays. We have a steady number of boys and girls who come every week, if you have a child who will be 6 at the end of the year or next year and they would like to join, please contact Karen Yelland on 442072 Finally, thanks to all the parents who have helped with activities over the past year, it has helped us run an interesting and varied programme and long may it continue.

Notes from the June Parish Council meeting Police: PC Kevin Bennett, our neighbourhood beat manager, reported that when the first PACT meeting was held in the village hall, not a single person came – which he took as evidence that Uplyme parishioners do not have any serious concerns. In the absence of any input from residents, the neighbourhood team will be concentrating on speeding. In a recent session on the main road, 29 detec-tions were made in a single 1hr session – 47mph was the maximum, with many at 46 – which included many locals, not just visitors unfamiliar with the road. Applications dealt with by Planning Sub Committee • The Beeches, Yawl Hill Lane - Garage (revised siting): no objection. • Land Adjacent Lydwell House Lyme Road - 2 4-bedroom detached dwell- ings with garaging: refusal recommended. • Upper Cottage Rocombe - Replacement entrance door: no objection. • Land At Clanbury Rhode Lane - Dwelling with new vehicular / pedestrian access: refusal recommended. Applications being considered • Recreational ground for Woodroffe School Barbers Lane - Replacement stor-

age unit and open-fronted shelter • Seaforth Yawl Hill Lane - Raised decking area including new access door

and replacement window Applications granted by EDDC • Upper Cottage Rocombe - Replacement of Crittal windows with timber and

replace shed door and window with shutters • Sunbeams Rhode Lane - Erection of ground floor extension, balcony, deck-

ing, and loft conversion, including 2 dormer windows • The Laurels Lyme Road - Reduce height of 1 sycamore by 1.5m, and re-

shape • Lyme Wood Retirement Home Woodhouse Lane - Erection of entrance

gates and re-surfacing of vehicular circulation areas Applications refused by EDDC • Willow Cottage Springhead Road - Erection of detached dwelling Other planning. The Parish Plan is now 4 years old – a committee will be rein-stated to review it, and report to the Council on any action needed. Footpaths. Parishioners worried that ‘urbanisation’ will occur on the Glen footpath were reassured that this is definitely not the intention of the improvements, which will be sympa-thetic and low-key. Other matters discussed in Council and the open forum included affordable housing, re-pairs to the Church clock, flooding in Rhode Lane, and the difficulty of saving the appear-ance of key trees in the Uplyme landscape.
