1. Sausages
from Devon
  
David Jones,
Manna from Devon reports: As we all know Devon is a
wonderful place for the rearing of livestock; warmth, plenty of
rain and plenty of sun make for great pasture for lambs, beef,
venison and happy pigs. This means that we can boast some of the
best meat producers in the land. And what happens when
we've eaten the pork tenderloins, venison haunches and all the
other prime cuts? The rest is used for sausages of course!
Last Sunday a couple of Dartmouth's own farmers, Lesley and
Richard Goodman of
Gara Barton Venison and Rare
Breed Pork at Blackawton, teamed up with the Manna From Devon
Cookery School in Kingswear, to take a group of sausage
enthusiasts through the sausage making process. First they
discussed the downside of badly made sausages; huge amounts of
fat, flavourings, colourings, sinew, tendons and gristle. Then,
after a demonstration from expert Richard they made their own,
selecting flavourings, mincing real meat, mixing, filling and
linking.
I think you'll agree the finished products look fantastic and it
looks like they had a lot of fun in the process. There's more
going on around here that you could ever imagine. Why not
take your friends next time, it's quite reasonable and great
fun! How about a bread making course, you name it?

3. Dartmouth
Books new web site
  
Well known local book publisher Richard Webb today
launches his new web site (click
here) about his many
Books. Richard published the seminal 'Chronicles of
Dartmouth', more recently 'Dartmouth Ghosts &
Mysteries' and the inimitable poems of Kevin Pyne.
The Dartmouth dot TV
crew designed Richard's
web site and he commented
"I am very grateful to you for leading me through the whole
process and at last making a reality of something I had
hoped to do for years - and it looks pretty stylish as
well!"
What is lesser known is
that Richard was/is the publisher of the entire 'The
Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady' series. How
many of us had those Dorma bedspreads, and the pillow case,
and the lampshade, us? err yes......
You may well find the
'about page' on the new web site very interesting, it charts
Richard's family back over several decades, we truly have a
legend in our midst. But then, that's makes Dartmouth
so special. If you too want your own website from only
£150 for everything,

Memories of Dartmouth
Appropriately taken from
'The Chronicles of Dartmouth"
here is the Butterwalk under water around 1944.
A Councillor of the time said " It's a slum property and
should be pulled down" if you want to find out
who he was, go the Harbour Bookshop and pick up a copy?
In 1945 the MoW thwarted the Town Council (to its disgust)
by making the Butterwalk a listed building, to be restored
later for future generations to enjoy.
True to form, that is exactly what the present Dartmouth
Town Council is doing, last year the front of the building,
and in a few weeks time the back of the building.
Dartmouth Town Councillor Dave Cawley, current Chairman of
Corporate Property committee said "This is an outstandingly
beautiful building, it is photographed by nearly every
visitor. The Town Council is committed to maintaining
the heritage of Dartmouth"
