Ukrainian schoolgirl’s view on war; floods hit rail & roads; police warn hunt; market is Britain’s best & much more! Plus
Molton Monthly Magazine - March 2026
Welcome to the March edition of Molton Monthly Magazine. I’m starting off with very big personal news. I have reached that age where retirement is on the horizon, and this means that next month’s April 2026 issue will be my last after a decade of running the publication.
From the May edition, your Molton Monthly Magazine is going to be looked after by Lewis Coppard and his family, who have decades of experience and already run similar publications in the Barnstaple, Bideford and Braunton areas.
I will be saying ‘thank you’ properly next month, but for now here’s to the future for both me and your magazine!
On the 4th anniversary of the war in Ukraine, we hear what the conflict means to schoolgirl Sonya Komendiak, who fled the fighting with her mother and now studies at Chulmleigh College. There’s a special three page interview by fellow student Daisie Nelson.
Congratulations to South Molton Pannier Market on being voted best in Britain, what a great accolade for all involved.

To wet to woo!
by Simon Dibble
Whether it’s nature, rural life, wildlife, a landscape or seascape, special event, sports, a local character or something else - please keep sending us your pictures. We usually only feature one each month in the magazine, but show more on our Instagram and Facebook pages: @MoltonMonthly
The headline might be a pun, but to get that special wildlife photo can take a huge amount of effort and a great deal of skill.
For our photo of the month, North Devon based photographer Simon Dibble pulled out all the stops to get this stunning portrait of a Short Eared Owl - a winter visitor from far colder climes, thousands of miles away.
“On a bleak, rain-soaked Sunday morning, when the landscape felt empty and uninviting, a short-eared owl briefly revealed itself against the odds,” said Simon.
“After watching it go to ground nearby, I slowly crawled through sodden terrain, closing the distance with care and patience.”
“From the wet ground, I raised my camera to capture the owl as it hunkered down against the relentless rain - its plumage heavy, posture resolute.”
“Soaked through and muddy, I was reminded that moments like this, fleeting and hard-won are often found when conditions are least forgiving. It was all worth it though!”

Royal seal of approval for Emma and rugby stars
Emma Sing and her England teammates enjoyed a very special visit to Windsor Castle in January, hosted by the Princess of Wales (wearing red above).
The royal reception was to mark the Red Roses’ historic 2025 World Cup victory, and came about thanks to Kate’s role as patron of the Rugby Football Union.
A former pupil of South Molton Community College, and player for the town’s rugby club as a schoolgirl, Emma Sing turns 25 on March 11th. She has already carved out an outstanding professional career with both the national team and her championship winning club Gloucester-Hartpury.
The Princess of Wales was presented with an England shirt signed by the squad in front of the Women’s Rugby World Cup trophy.

Student tells the story of four years of war in Ukraine
Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Sonya Komendiak fled the fighting with her mother and is now studying at Chulmleigh College. Here she is interviewed by fellow Year 10 student Daisie Nelson.
Sonya: My name is Sonya I am 15 years old, and I left Ukraine with my mother when I was 12. However, we didn’t move to Devon straight away. First, we moved to Austria where I was really unhappy and found it hard to settle, then Amsterdam before making our way to Devon in the UK. When we arrived here I started school at Chulmleigh College.
Daisie: What does being able to live and study in Chulmleigh mean to you?
Sonya: Chulmleigh means a lot to me not only for my education but as a home.
Sonya: Being at Chulmleigh College has helped me to learn English. The staff at the college have supported me in this by giving me an iPad and extra lessons to work on my English language skills. I am very glad I have moved to Devon as Chulmleigh is an incredible school and it has helped me massively.
Daisie: What are you hoping to do when you leave school?
Sonya: When I leave school, I am hoping to study International Relations. I am interested in learning more about the interactions between countries, international organisations diplomacy, politics, economics, and security - partly because of the war and the impact it has had on me and my family. I would like to get a diploma or degree and work my way up from there.
Sonya Komendiak (left) and Daisie Nelson, year 10 students at Chulmleigh College
Daisie: How do you feel about it being the fourth year of the war?
Sonya: It is shocking how it has been four years as in some ways it does not seem like four years at all. I think as I have been adjusting to life in the UK time has gone quickly but in other ways it feels incredibly slow. I get so worried for my family who still live in Ukraine. This winter has been the worst one for them, especially when the heating was cut off and it was -19ºC, I was so concerned for them.
Daisie: What are your hopes for the future for your country and family?
Sonya: I really hope this war won’t go beyond the five-year mark, both sides are struggling and many lives are being lost on both sides. Ukrainians have always wanted peace. When I think about the difference in size between Russia and Ukraine, I feel quite scared for Ukraine - you can fit 27 Ukraine’s into Russia alone. Despite the difference in size, Ukraine is fighting and protecting many cities, and our people are incredibly brave and resilient. Continued on page 20
A recent Russian drone strike damaged an apartment block in snow covered Kyiv
Sonya: It is tremendous how well we have held out against Russia. My family are relatively safe and protected. They have food and water and are coping well under the circumstances. I am worried about my younger cousin as she is quite young, so I am hoping that my family will move away and be safe if the war continues.
Daisie: Where are your family in relation to the fighting?
Sonya: My family live in the capital, Kyiv. It is well protected, but not well enough, as they still go nights without heating and electricity, everything freezes - it is quite terrifying. I really hope that this war ends soon. I know many people who have lost relatives to the war, and it is quite frightening how everyone I know is impacted by the tragedies of this war in some way.

Daisie: Do you think there will be peace given the international efforts to help?
Sonya: It is hard to tell how long this war will go on for, but I am very grateful that Europe has helped with supplying weapons and aid as it means a lot to us.
Daisie: Is there anything you found particularly different about the British culture?
Sonya: When I first came here I was surprised to see how happy everyone appears to be, no matter the circumstances, or weather! If I smiled at people in the street back at home, it would be considered odd but here its different. The British are friendly and welcoming.
No trains for three weeks following heavy rain
Rail services on the troubled Tarka Line were suspended for three weeks after the tracks were damaged by flooding again, this time from Storm Chandra at the end of January.
Persistent and heavy rain in the first three weeks of February hampered repairs and safety checks needed before trains could run again. MP Ian Roome raised the ongoing issues in parliament, as 3,000 people signed a petition urging upgrades.
“People are fed up with disruption and want lasting action. We need a service we can rely on, and that means a serious commitment to resilience,” he said.
Tim Steer, chair of Railfuture for Devon and Cornwall, called the ongoing disruption

“intensely frustrating” and said the line needed long-term investment.
“Getting to work, education and appointments is being thrown into chaos because our rail line not fit-for-purpose. The case to secure transformational investment has never been stronger,” he said.
Mr Roome has said he will meet with Network Rail to press for a plan to strengthen the line against flooding and extreme weather, while urging residents to continue sharing their experiences to support the case for investment in both track and train upgrades.
Pannier Market
is voted best in Britain!
by Karolina Andreasova
South Molton Pannier Market scooped the top prize of ‘Britain’s Favourite Market 2026’ in the annual Great British Market Awards held on February 5th, the fourth major national title for the town’s market. Judges from the sector’s governing body NABMA said, “Voted for by the public, South Molton Pannier Market was recognised for its outstanding traders and deep community pride. Twice-weekly markets continue to drive footfall, support local charities and strengthen the town’s economy.” Market manager Adam Nichols, seen above holding the trophy, added, “This year we’re officially NUMBER ONE out of 400 plus markets in Britain. Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen, we couldn’t have done it without you!”

Your jobs to do in March
1. Prune bush and climbing roses, cuts should be no more than 5mm above an outward facing bud and slope downwards away from the bud. We have a large selection of roses which can be planted now.
2. Cut back herbaceous perennials and ornamental grasses which were not trimmed in the autumn.
3. Lift and divide overgrown clumps of perennials. Most perennials benefit from division every two or three years to maintain health and vigour.
4. Most Buddleias (butterfly bush) flower on the branches that grow in early summer, so can be pruned hard to a low framework of permanent stems in early spring.
5. Keep a few dandelions in your garden to feed early bees, particularly the pantaloon bees.
At the nursery we are potting like crazy now, we receive between one and three deliveries of plug plants every week for 10 weeks from the middle of February. All the perennials which were potted in the autumn are now outside ready for planting into your gardens.
Until next month, Jenny Howells Opening Times

Farm Life - food security
by Roger Hill
March is the most prolific month to see baby lambs in the countryside. Although the hardest working time in a stockman’s calendar with early mornings, late nights and constant vigilance, it is the most rewarding.
There is something quite magical about seeing lambs born and then watching them skip across the fields in the spring sunshine. Yes there are sobering moments when a life is lost, but such satisfaction and pride when you have saved one.
I have written before about delivering future food security. It is of growing importance to the South West comprising Devon, Cornwall, Dorset and Somerset. The region covers 1.24 million hectares of farmland (13.5% of England) with natural assets and centuries of food production leading a diverse and innovative industry.
There are 17,420 mainly small family holdings and the South West employs 55,600 people. We are surrounded by the warmest seas in the UK and this means we benefit from warmer winter temperatures, fewer frosts and abundant rainfall. They make our region ideal for all the year round agricultural production resulting in 10.5% of total UK farm output. I must go now - a ewe is lambing and I need to see another miracle!
‘Til next time, Roger #TuppertheTractor (tupperthetractor.com and quoitatcrossvineyard.com)

Hunt gets police warning
Devon and Cornwall Police have issued a formal warning notice to a hunt group following reports of anti-social behaviour and trespass over an 11 month period.
Molton Monthly Magazine submitted a freedom of information request to the police to allow us to name the North Cornwall Hunt.
“I want to be clear that there is no place for illegal hunting in Devon and Cornwall,” said Superintendent Emma Butler-Jones, the force lead for hunting.
“I hope that the issuing of this notice sends a clear message to hunt groups that anti-social behaviour, trespassing on private land or any other illegal activity will not be tolerated.”
“I also hope this provides reassurance to those affected by the actions of hunt groups
and our rural communities, that we take all reports of illegal hunting seriously.”
People in George Nympton declared themselves a ‘hunt free zone’ last summer after becoming unhappy with hunt activities affecting the village, and have been calling for a ‘community protection order’.
Anyone who has witnessed illegal hunting activity or anti-social behaviour (such as trespass, harassment or hounds out of control) is encouraged to report it to police via their website or by calling 101.
South Molton Community Garden
by Rebecca Blackman
The Community Garden AGM was held at the end of January and it was lovely to catch up with everyone and discuss future plans.
We have ordered our seed potatoes and are planning to buy organic and heritage seed varieties for the communal plots. The ‘Willy-Nilly’ garden will be getting a revamp and some extra care and attention during team days this year.
Our wonderful garden coordinator, Fran Sendell, has recently stepped down from her role. Fran has looked after the running of the garden for many years and has played a huge part in creating this amazing community space. I would like to express thanks on behalf of all the garden members to Fran, for all the love and energy she has put into the garden over the years. Thank you, Fran!
If you’d like to join us, please visit the garden on a Thursday afternoon, around 2-3pm weather permitting. Alternatively, please see our website for more information: southmoltoncommunitygarden.co.uk or on Facebook @southmoltoncommunitygarden
Floods hit roads
Heavy rain from Storm Chandra at the end of January (also see page 26) badly affected North Devon’s roads, especially the A377 and surrounding routes, as the River Taw burst its banks. Trees were brought down and road surfaces were damaged further by freeze-thaw conditions.

Historic roof repairs begin
by Karolina Andreasova
Work has begun to restore South Molton Pannier Market’s historic glass roof. South Molton Scaffolding have designed and installed a system to enable the market to keep trading during the project.
The renovation of the 77 metre Victorian glass roof lights is being carried out thanks to a £234,000 grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund.

Play promises laughs
South Molton based group Drama@ are performing Rivals, their own adaptation of the comedy by Richard Sheridan in West Buckland, Goodleigh and South Molton. The most well known character in the play is Mrs Malaprop who, desperate to impress, uses some wonderful vocabulary, but none of it in the right place! Most of the characters in the play are pursuing love, and they are prepared to lie, disguise themselves, cheat and even fight duals to achieve their goal. This year the performances are raising money for Encompass South West who aim to reduce homelessness and poverty in the region (advert p14 tickets and performances).
‘Van life’ award
Chulmleigh based Kelly Vipond has been named ‘new owner of the year’ in the national 2025 Campifly awards for her Citroen Relay camper van rentals.
