Tiverton, Devon, Snow & Winter Scenes - January 6th 2010 (1/3)
Starting off at home, brushing the snow off the bonet of my car, and seeing how the cat the likes the snow - which turned out to be not much.
Then heading through the Great Western Way Roundabout, and into Amory Park, where people are making a snowman, and kicking a football about.
Then I headed into the town centre, and Lowman Green. The statue of Edward the Peacemaker looked like he had caught a cold, and the ducks were in the snow.
Then I headed up past Castle Street and St Peter's to People's Park.

Wetherspoons White Ball Inn Reopens in Tiverton 2019
Pub goers in Tiverton are “absolutely loving” their new look Wetherspoon White Ball Inn.
The pub reopened after ten weeks on Tuesday, August 27, following an £850k refurbishment which saw toilets moved upstairs and new floorspace created.
Prior to opening, the pub chain invited 2,600 guests for a free meal and lunch as part of their soft opening.
“People in Tiverton have absolutely loved it,” manager Ben Grainger said.
“We have got 29 draught products, just on the lagers, the ciders the stouts. Then we’ve got real ale; ten on the at any one time, I don’t think any pub in the area has got that many. Then we’ve got local ciders. We now sell pizzas; we are punching out so many pizzas we can’t believe it.”
Mr Grainger added that it was good to have the team back together again.
“We had staff down in Tavistock, Admiral Collingwood in Ilfracombe, they were in the Imperial. To get all of us back under one roof, you can’t explain how excited we all are to be here.”
Mayor of Tiverton, Councillor Colin Slade, officially opened the new-look pub.
He said: “I think it means a lot to have Wetherspoons back in Tiverton. The pub is popular and has been for a number of years. Everybody knows Spoons, it’s got a wonderful location by the bridge and River Exe, a great place to be out in the beer garden on a sunny day, but now, of course, it’s all been improved.
“We have had to do without it for 71 days while it’s been closed. Was it worth it - of course, it was.
“It’s a fantastic refurbishment, and the loos are brilliant, everything is good about it now.
“Visitors have even more choice of food and drink, and they’re serving pizzas and fantastic value food all day including breakfast for £3.60 – where can you get value like that?
“We know there are always stories about things not being good in Tiverton, shops closing and so on. These things come and go, the economy goes up and down, but it is a mark of a town success that companies like Wetherspoons continue to invest. The future, I think, is looking pretty good.”

Tiverton Parade & Wreath Laying on Remembrance Sunday 2009
TIVERTONIANS gathered in their hundreds to remember those who make the ultimate sacrifice for their country.
Girl Guides to ex-servicemen joined the parade lead by the Tiverton Town Band who made their way from the Town Hall to St Peters Church for the remembrance service.
The church was full of people, and town clerks handed out over 700 hymn sheets. Rev Rover Gordon who led the service said: St Peters was full of young and old this morning as we gathered to remember the fallen of the two world wars, and all the conflicts since.
There was a special poignancy today, because of the deaths this week in Afghanistan, and its a very difficult time for very many people, and we must remember those of the past, and those of today, and do our best to build a better future for all people.
The day has been made more significant by the recent losses of British servicemen fighting in Afghanistan. The latest deaths bring the number of UK service personnel killed in Afghanistan since 2001 to 232.
Outside the Memorial Hall, 31 wreaths were laid, and a two minutes silence was held.
His worship, the Mayor of Tiverton, Cllr Paul Graham, spoke to the congregation in church, and laid the first wreath, he said: It was a very poignant day, and very moving as it always is, but with so many different anniversaries being commemorated this year, it makes that service a little bit more significant.
I was very proud to lay the wreath on behalf of the town, and it was something I was looking forward to.
It was nice to speak to a packed church full of people who respect the occasion as well, and seeing so many people wearing poppies is lovely.
Joining those paying their tributes was Commander Adam James from HMS Enterprise, which is the affiliated ship of the town. He said: Its very important that we remember all the people who have given their lives, tragically in numerous conflicts throughout history.
Its a great privilege to be here representing the Royal Navy, and HMS Enterprise, and remember with the people of Tiverton, those from the town who gave their lives.
A new plaque to show that the Memorial Hall building is the towns war memorial was unveiled by Sir Ian Amory who is the chairman of the trust that owns the building. He said: Today, and for the next few weeks while these reefs are laid, it is clear what this building is.
For the rest of the year to the casual passer by, it is not obvious, that this building itself is the war memorial, and inside is a room with boards containing the names of all those Tivertonians who have given their lives, for their county, in the two main wars, and in conflicts since.
This new plaque will make it clear to everyone, what the purpose of this building is.
The president of the Tiverton Royal British Legion, Brigadier Robin Rhoderick-Jones added: Weve noticed that so many people have said we dont have a war memorial in the form of an obelisk or cross with names instead we have a whole building.
We thought it right that we should draw attention to the fact that the boards of the names of servicemen who have died are inside the building, so thats what the plaque is all about.
Prospective Parliamentary Candidate, and former MEP Neil Parish laid a reef. He said: Its good to see so many people out, because what happened in the first and second world wars was a long time ago, so it was good to see everybody out in force today, particularly the youngsters.
With us losing troops in Afghanistan, and it being in the news regularly, I think young people understand that people are dying, and it brings the meaning of war into a new generation.
I think we have to be sure were doing the right thing in Afghanistan, and make sure that people are supporting it.
On Armistice Day this Wednesday, a smaller service will be held in Phoenix Lanes Burma Star memorial garden, and the poppy appeal will continue during this festival of remembrance.
Chairman of the Tiverton Royal British Legion, Ramsay Hutchison added: People have been really generous this year. Weve seen £5 notes to £20 notes, and Tiverton has really excelled itself, and Im hoping to beat last years total of £14,000.
The ceremony today, was excellent and it makes everything worthwhile. We have a new board in the remembrance room which I hope everyone will come and see, and sincerely hope there will be no more names on it, but sadly, its inevitable that there will be.
The poppy appeal to me is to look after the families, and the lads who have been injured and make sure theyre ok.
