In association with the HOME DESIGN YEARBOOK A point of view! Nelson’s Column by JOHN FISHER kicking our way through drifts of leaves in reds, yellows, oranges, golds and browns this autumn instead we seem to enjoying a surplus of, well - a surplus of just plain, common or garden browns. And it’s all down to our deciduous trees and shrubs having been seriously dehydrated this summer, the RHS tells us. That lack of moisture has starved leaves of a number of essential sugars because trees have been unable to build up their reservoirs of these sugars that are needed to trigger colour changes. “Autumn is a second Spring when every leaf becomes a flower!” BEAUTIFULLY PUT, by one Albert Camus*, the French philosopher, author, and Nobel Prize Winner for Literature, who clearly had never experienced the kind of hot, dry summer we experienced in Devon this year. Whilst we could normally expect to be *Not to put the poet in Albert Camus down, we should add in his defence that he was born, raised and studied in Algiers and may not have experienced an Autumn amongst deciduous trees until he lived in Paris in his early 20s and came up with that very pleasing line in our headline. A storm named Kevin? EVERY STORM NOW HAS A NAME - and no bad thing because it increases our awareness of these weather extremes the Met Office informs us. But some sound stormier than others, do they not? A storm called Ragnar for example (we made that one up) sounds much more threatening, surely, than one called Kevin, which we did not make up. The complete list of storm names for 2018- 2019 issued jointly by the Met Office and Met Eirean reads as follows: Ali, Bronagh, Callum, Deirdre, Erik, Freya, Gareth, Hannah, Idris, Jane, Kevin (we told you), Lily, Max, Niamh, Oliver, Peggy, Ross, Saoirse, Tristan, Violet and Wyn. If some of those names sound a tad unfamiliar (or even unpronounceable) it is because the list has been compiled from suggestions by members of the public, with the weather experts selecting the names “that reflect the nations’ culture and diversity of both the UK and Eire”. To save you looking it up, Saoirse is pronounced, Seer-sha or Ser-sha. All our yesterdays FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND is the title of a new book written by Rivers Carew, the last of the Carew baronets to have lived at Haccombe, the family seat in East Devon and spanning some 30 generations from 1086-1945. And if that sounds like some kind of history book that might be a little musty after one thousand years in the telling, think on. The book will have wide appeal, especially to Devonians, old and new, because it also reflects the rich social history of county life as it does this remarkable family. how they lived, loved and died. Sir George Carew went down with his ship, The Mary Rose and Thomas Carew was a famed Cavalier poet and the family even has links to Christopher Columbus. Footprints in the sand ISBN 978-1-9998074-4-3 is published by DuBois Publishing, Cambridge in hardback and paperback. An e-book version is also available on Amazon Kindle . Author, poet, journalist, broadcaster, historian and storyteller, Sir Rivers Carew. by JOHN FISHER 75
