Abuse and Loneliness
Miranda Marshall, Director, Hayes + Storr
As I head off to London for the annual Solicitors for the Elderly (SfE) national conference I am reminded about the real world background to some of the legal work that I do.
This year one of the six seminars covers the hot topic of elder victims of fraud and abuse, including that arising within the family. Another seminar covers the role of the solicitor as an important safeguard in managing finances. The Master of the Court of Protection will talk on whether abuse of the elderly could be considered as a ‘hate crime’, with all the stringent penalties that follow. The relationship of family dynamics and abuse of the elderly and how long-standing unresolved conflict, identity and roles of family members, mental health and financial circumstances may influence how an elderly person is treated. We will learn how to identify these ‘red flags’ and what can be done to protect the elderly.
The NHS website states that according to Age UK more than 2 million people over age 75 live alone and more than a million older people say that they go for over a month without speaking to a friend, neighbour and family member. People can become socially isolated for a variety of reasons, such
as getting older or weaker, no longer being the hub of their family, leaving the work place, the death of spouses or friends, or through disability or illness. Whatever the cause, it’s shockingly easy to be left feeling alone and vulnerable, which can lead to depression and a serious decline in physical health and wellbeing.
The idea that technological advances will be able to replace human-interaction has a scarily science fiction quality to it; ticking (or should that be clicking?) boxes, rather than holding hands.
Wells-next-the-Sea is lucky to have Heritage House providing day care for those living in Wells and the surrounding area. The visitors receive a home-cooked two course lunch, the option of a bath and hairdressing, access to a wide-range of public sector agencies support and NHS services, activities including singing, seatedexercise and the garden, and for many most importantly, companionship.
Volunteers are always needed and are fundamental to the running of Heritage House. They drive and assist on the minibuses, help in the garden and, simply, but most valuably, spend time and interact with the day visitors.
In the world of political correctness,
a significant proportion of a very vulnerable sector of our population, i.e. the elderly, has been somewhat forgotten as needing special support. In some circles the elderly are even seen as privileged, compared with young people; perhaps this is not unreasonable when looking at the cost of housing. Targeting resources is important, providing the money saved (e.g. on the removal of free TV licences for all over 75) is spent on our elderly citizens where it is needed.
This article aims to supply general information, but it is not intended to constitute advice. Every effort is made to ensure that the law referred to is correct at the date of publication and to avoid any statement which may mislead. However no duty of care is assumed to any person and no liability is accepted for any omission or inaccuracy. Always seek our specific advice.

Market Towns Initiative : five further projects approved and final round of funding announced
North Norfolk District Council will hand out another £104,000 to community projects in Fakenham, Holt, North Walsham, and Stalham, with the remaining £22,000 being offered to all applicants.
Funding for a range of projects designed to revitalise North Norfolk’s four inland market towns has been approved.
At a recent meeting of North Norfolk District Council’s Cabinet, Councillors agreed to approve funding recommendations of £103,747.36 put forward by the Market Towns Initiative Working Group.
Each town was able to bid for remaining funds from the original £100,000 allocated to each town from a total pot of £400,000.
£22,089.67 remains in the Market
Towns Initiative fund for a final round of applications open for all four towns. The closing date for these applications will be Thursday 5 September.
Cllr Sarah Bütikofer, Leader of North Norfolk District Council said “The Market Towns Initiative continues to improve and support the economic viability of our four market towns and I would encourage all towns to apply for funding in this final round.”
The five successful round two applicants are : • Active Fakenham - £27,544.85 to coordinate, resource and market a large number of events and promote the town itself. • Fakenham Town Council - £8,405.00 to fund the landscaping and improvement
of Fakenham Library Triangle. • Holt Town Council - £49,000 to fund town centre amenity space improvements in Fish Hill/Star Plain and an interactive town map for use at the Tourist Information Centre. • Regenerate North Walsham and North Walsham Town Council £425.00 for additional signage to visitor attractions. • Stalham Town Council and Stalham Area Business Forum - £18,372.51 to fund town centre events, planning and installation of improved town centre signage, disability access improvements, sensory backpacks, grounds maintenance equipment, and Firehouse Museum improvements.
North Norfolk District Council achieves trio of Green Flag Awards 1,970 UK parks and green spaces and fantastic that we have more Green Flag for green spaces
Holt Country Park, Pretty Corner Woods and Sadler’s Woods recognised again as among best open spaces in the UK
Sadler’s Wood, near North Walsham, has re-joined Holt Country Park and Pretty Corner Woods in being recognised by the Green Flag Award Scheme as one of the very best in the world. Holt Country Park holds its position as a green space for the 14th year running and was joined by Pretty Corner Woods in 2013. Sadler’s Wood first received the accolade in 2012 and despite just missing out last year it has now re-claimed its place thanks to the hard work of our Countryside Team. The parks are among a record-breaking
131 in thirteen other countries around the world that will today receive a prestigious Green Flag Award – the mark of a quality park or green space.
Cllr. Virginia Gay, North Norfolk District Council’s Portfolio Holder for Culture and Wellbeing, said “We’re truly delighted to be receiving a Green Flag award for the 14th year in a row. It’s especially pleasing to hear the news about a Green Flag for Sadler’s Wood. Our woodlands and green spaces mean so much to everyone and these awards celebrate the dedication that goes into maintaining them to such a high standard.”
International Green Flag Award scheme manager Paul Todd said: “It’s
North Norfolk Photographic Society
Awards in the UK than ever before, joined this year by 131 International winners. Each flag honours the thousands of staff and volunteers who work tirelessly to maintain the high standards demanded by the Green Flag Award. We congratulate each and every winner on their fantastic achievement.”
The international award, organised by Keep Britain Tidy, recognises and rewards the best parks and green spaces across the country. A Green Flag flying overhead is a sign to visitors that the space boasts the highest possible standards, is beautifully maintained and has excellent facilities. For more information visit www.greenflagaward.org.uk
On one evening during the course of their very successful Annual Exhibition, North Norfolk Photographic Society members met to view each other’s work and to host the annual awards to members.
Every member who had won 1st, 2nd or 3rd in every competition over the year was awarded a certificate. But most of all, a points system over the year resulted in the appointment of ‘Photographers of the Year’ – one novice and one advanced.

The Advanced Photographer of the Year is Diana Knight and the Novice winner is Hanne Siebers. Chairman Rob Palethorpe awarding the trophies commented on a successful year when the quality of members’ photographs just seemed to get ever higher, well shown by the work by Diana Knight and Hanne Siebers.

Cromer Carnival gets into the spirit of things as gin is launched to mark 50 years of this iconic event
L to R Luke Evans Cromer Carnival, Laurence Conisbee, Wharf Distillery and Tony Shipp Chairman Cromer Carnival Cromer Carnival is getting into the spirit of things to mark its 50th anniversary by launching a special edition Cromer Carnival Gin.
Crafted in small batches on copper-pot stills by former Cromer lad Laurence Conisbee at Wharf Distillery, the gin has been created to pay tribute to all that is great about this iconic event and seaside town.
Combining sea buckthorn which adorns the cliffs, rich juniper, coriander, sweet orange, the fragrance of elderflower and a warmth from ling heather, the gin has been made in homage to the North Norfolk Coast. Laurence said “Having grown up in Cromer I have fond memories of joining in with the Carnival fun. Whatever the weather, it’s what summer in Cromer is all about, and it's incredible how it is all made possible by a dedicated team of volunteers. Its 50th Anniversary not only gave me the perfect excuse to create a special gin for my hometown, but also to say thank you to the team for the thousands of memories they have created for visitors and locals alike.
“With its bright orange berries adorning the Cromer cliff tops, crafting a gin with Sea Buckthorn was an obvious choice. Its sweet, tangy notes compliment the juniper superbly, whilst the coriander and sweet orange peel bring crisp citrus flavours. Ling heather and Angelica root give warming notes of liquorice and pine.
“With all profits from the gin sales going to the CVEO we hope it will raise a few pounds to support such a wonderful event.”
The gin is priced at £30 per 50cl bottle with all profits going to the CVEO. Cromer Carnival chairman Tony Shipp said “I am delighted that Laurence has made the Cromer Carnival Gin as part of the celebrations for our 50th Anniversary and thank him and his colleagues at Wharf Distillery for considering us on this special occasion.
“The gin contains flavours from plants found along the North Norfolk coastline and in particular Cromer. I am sure the gin contains all those special and exciting ingredients to compliment this year’s carnival week programme.”
Carnival committee member Luke Evans, who runs the carnival bar, said “With this year marking the 50th anniversary of Cromer Carnival I had been trying to think of something extra special to mark the occasion and when we received an email from Laurence offering his services to distil
the Carnival a special gin I knew it was something we had to do.
“After several conversations, Laurence produced a sample batch which has gone down amazingly well with everybody who has tried it. So much so I have had several pre-orders.
“Cromer Gin was the star of the show at the Carnival’s first gin evening. I would like to thank the town and visitors to the carnival for their continued support. Also to all the volunteers and committee members who make the carnival and its associated events possible every year.”

Collaboration is the Key Ingredient for the Foodbank most people, although understandably there are times when some people need more help.
A question we’re often asked is how people access the Foodbank.
People often ask what defines a crisis and Citizens Advice is very clear about this. Crisis is usually caused by people not having enough money for food, fuel and a place to live. These are the first priorities.
We assume that this question comes from a shared concern about fairness and wanting to be assured that it is our fellow citizens in most need who receive our help.
The answer is collaboration. As with so many areas in our lives, we are stronger when we work together with others and so we too build strong alliances with others to ensure the Foodbank works to help people in crisis.
Our alliances include over 100 agencies across North Norfolk who refer people to us through a voucher system. Our partner agencies include Children’s Services, Children’s Centres, Schools and Housing Trusts, to name just a few. Probably the place most of us know to go for help is Citizens Advice. This is because they are best placed to help those of us in crisis, always looking for ways to help whilst mindful of doing the right thing for everyone.
The relationship between the Foodbank and Citizens Advice ensures that people can access help with food and fuel during a temporary crisis. Experience shows that up to three visits to the Foodbank are usually enough help for
www.rosevillapublications.co.uk
8
If people are in receipt of enough money to cover these things there is no immediate crisis and it is also important to say that crisis caused by poor budgeting does not give automatic access to the Foodbank. People who do need help with budgeting skills can still be helped by the Citizens Advice who work in partnership with the Social Prescribing Team at NNDC.
We are very conscious of the fact that we cannot offer our services without the donations you give and you expect your gifts of food and money to go to our fellow citizens who need them most. Collectively, we are the stewards of your donations. We work together to ensure that we can continue to offer our services for our fellow citizens who may face crisis in the future.
Thank you everyone for your continuing support. Please visit us at www.cromerdistrict.foodbank.org.uk or email us at info@cromerdistrict.foodbank.org.uk

WHY CHOOSE WHY CHOOSE SILVER & WARD WARD SILVER SOLICITORS SOLICITORS in in 2019? 20 19 ?
“It’s a recurrent misconception that a larger firm is better.”
I am Clare Mayell and I own Silver and Ward Solicitors in Sheringham. I am an extremely competent and experienced solicitor. I appreciate that any time of the year can be a difficult time fo or many people to resolve legal issues of worry and concern, for example, making a will or Lasting Power of Attorney. As I have worked for 2 larger local firms I know what clients want and expect. My charges are significantly less than other solicitors in North Norfo olk or Norwich and I provide 22 years of expertise and exceptional service. I pride myself in being one of the only solicitors who offffers a FREE FIRST APPOINTMENT, so clients can come in and obtain some initial advice and discuss costs and then make an informed decision. At a larger firm you just pay more. When a client rings or walks through the door they invariably get to speak to me as this personal and direct approach is important to my clients and I. I ensure complete confidentiality is an absolute priority. I advise new clients to “shop around” as I know that my charges are significantly less than other solicitors but I can offer the same expertise, if not better. I have and can act for clients across Norrffolk and the Country as we now have the use of Skype, emails etc. so it enables me to act for clients further afield. The reason that clients, near and far, instruct Silver and Ward is because of my expertise, exceptional service and competitive costs.
“I would say to any potential client with a legal issue or worry in 2019 to come and meet me face to face for a FREE FIRST APPOINTMENT, as you have nothing to lose but all to gain.
Home visits can be arranged or appointments outside of office hours including Saturdays. 01263 0 1263 8 823465 23465 or email clare@silverandward.co.uk

Inspirational Friends Smash Fundraising Goal
Two Norfolk ladies arranged a sponsored Spring Walk in March 2019 in memory of their husbands, Leigh Hunter and Rev Michael Banks who both died from rare forms of cancer.
Judith Banks, 76, from Saxthorpe, and Angela Hunter, 57, from Sheringham, had hoped to raise £3000 for Cancer Research UK.
On 9 March in very windy and wet conditions, 60 participants took part in a sponsored spring walk around the grounds of Blickling Hall to raise funds for Cancer Research UK. Despite almost losing their gazebo to the elements, the walkers carried on and the walk was a massive success. Angela and Judith’s incredible efforts brought the fundraising total to £7254.64.
Judith said “I am truly grateful for the amount of support I gained from Angela, and Fran at Blickling Hall in the planning and also that of our sponsors, who surpassed our
expectations by being so very generous. It was a tremendous effort on everyone's part.”
Angela said, “Losing a partner is an experience beyond comprehension. Between us, with the support of CRUK, National Trust, our friends, families and strangers Judith and I created a fundraising event. It brought people who had suffered loss together, endeavouring to bring some good out of personal calamity, hoping that soon there will be an end to cancers of all sorts, and improved treatment. This journey has been an enormous opportunity for learning and brought Judith and I together as friends to support each other. It's been extremely valuable to us both.”
Deborah Adams, Cancer Research UK’s local fundraising manager for Norfolk and Suffolk, said “Angela and Judith are an absolute inspiration and we can’t thank them enough for his commitment to helping Cancer Research UK beat cancer sooner.”
“One in two people in the UK will be diagnosed with cancer at some stage in their lives, but the good news is more people are surviving the disease now than ever before. Cancer survival in the UK has doubled since the early 1970s and Cancer Research UK’s work has been at the heart of that progress. However, we have only been able to achieve this thanks to the dedication and generosity of volunteers and supporters like Angela and Judith without whom we would not be able to fund outstanding scientists, doctors and nurses.”

Happisburgh Lifeboat Station Lifeboat Day and Fete
the afternoon.
We had a very successful and exciting day earlier this month at Happisburgh where the weather was very kind to us.
The crew and helpers had an early start to get the site prepared for the 12noon start with a wide range of games, competitions, food and drink as well as educational activities. From the start we had a very large number of visitors partaking in all the activities, enjoying the excellent weather and sitting enjoying the live band throughout
We had the RNLI Community Safety Team giving advice on how to stay safe near water and how to enjoy themselves. Part of this was the attendance of RNLI Lifeguards giving similar advice. The Ambulance Service First Responders were also teaching visitors how to do CPR as well as giving us First Aid cover.
lifeboats were launched along with the support of RNLI lifeguards to put on a display of how all three work together to save lives at sea.
The fete drew to an end at 4pm with us raising approximately £7,000 in the four hours, which shows a fantastic effort by all involved. We would like to say a huge thank you to all our
The RAF Neatishead Museum brought their Jaguar simulator for people to climb inside and experience the feelings of being inside a jet fighter. HM Coastguards were also in attendance. People had the opportunity to play on a wide variety of traditional fete games like Splat the Rat, Frog game, crockery smash, welly throwing and coconut shy as well as enjoying a hog roast and BBQ, bar and teas/coffees.
Visitors also had an opportunity to meet the crew, find out what it’s like to be part of a lifeboat crew and how to become a volunteer with the RNLI. At 3.30pm both of Happisburgh’s
volunteers, supporters and visitors for making this such a successful day and look forward to seeing you next year on Sunday 2 August 2020.
Sheringham Shoal grant supports the study of microplastics in the North Norfolk environment The planet's use of plastics has come under much scrutiny in recent years, and particular attention is being paid to the damage caused in the marine environment by microplastics.
Microplastics are defined as all forms of plastics less than 5mm in size. They can enter the oceans as primary microplastics such as beads from personal care products and micro fibres from clothes or as secondary micro-plastics which are derived from larger plastic items, such as drink bottles, which slowly get broken into smaller pieces.
Many microplastics find their way into the sea from the waste water systems which feed into rivers, and during the 2019 Spring and Summer school terms the Norfolk Rivers Trust has utilised a grant from the Sheringham Shoal Community Fund to work with four North Norfolk primary schools on a project to investigate microplastics in the local environment.
The project involved over 150 pupils aged from 7-10 years from Blakeney, Holt, Kelling and Walsingham schools
participating in a national campaign called the Big Microplastics Survey, which is managed by Just One Ocean and the University of Plymouth. The project, which was managed by the Norfolk Rivers Trust education team, centred on measuring the amount of microplastic pollution on the beaches of North Norfolk.
There were five days of activities for each school spread over the school term, including a beach litter pick and a plastic sorting exercise as prescribed by the Big Microplastics Survey. Samples collected on the beach pick were then sent to Just One Ocean for analysis.
In the classroom the pupils were taught how to conduct a survey using scientific equipment as well as learning about water quality in rivers and seas and the importance of protecting the aquatic environment for the native wild life and for human health and food production.
Ursula Juta from the Norfolk Rivers Trust felt the children engaged very well with the project, saying:
www.rosevillapublications.co.uk
12
"The main find during the beach pick was polystyrene, and during the sorting activities we discussed ways to try and minimise the volume of plastic entering the environment, focusing on how best to eliminate its use altogether as so little of it is actually recycled."
"This is a highly topical project," said Karl Butler, the Power Plant Manager at the Sheringham Shoal Offshore Wind Farm, "and it is great that the grant from the Sheringham Shoal Community Fund has helped enlighten a large number of children in the local North Norfolk community about the marine environment issues associated with plastic. I hope some of them will be encouraging their families to take action."

Oliver, from Walsingham, has just finished his degree course at Leeds Arts University and counts British artist Gary Hulm and pop art icon Roy Lichtenstein as key inspirations. He said he was ‘Surprised and thrilled’ at winning the prize. ‘I really didn’t expect this’ he added ‘the field is so strong it feels a great honour’. Oliver’s prize is a cheque for ÂŁ750 and a commission free exhibition at The Gallery in Lees Yard, Holt.
Holt Festival Fine Art Director James Glennie who organizes the prize commented ‘I am delighted that we had so many fabulous entries again this year. The standard really does go from strength to strength and our distinguished judges had not one but two very difficult decisions to make. The addition of The Sworders Prize makes it all the more interesting , to see such fine work from young people ’.

Planning application for £4.15million cancer centre at Cromer Hospital goes in
another step forward with the submission of the planning application. Artist’s impression showing the front of the planned North Norfolk Macmillan Centre
Plans for a proposed £4.15million cancer care and support centre at Cromer and District Hospital have been submitted. Macmillan Cancer Support has been working with Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust to develop proposals for the centre, which will be called the North Norfolk Macmillan Centre. The plans, involving the refurbishment and extension of a disused ward, will now be considered by North Norfolk District Council. If permission is granted, building work is expected to take around a year.
“If permission is granted, this centre will help to meet the growing need for people to get treatment and support closer to home. Of course, this type of project is only possible thanks to people’s generosity. At Macmillan, we are entirely reliant on public donations and that support is what enables us to be there for people living with cancer and the people who support them.”
Mark Davies, NNUH Chief Executive, said “We run one of the biggest cancer centres in the country and the expansion
The majority of funding for the centre will come from Macmillan Cancer Support, which is providing up to £2.2 million and Norfolk and Norwich Hospitals Charity, which is contributing £1.5million. The remaining £450,000 is coming out of NNUH Trust funds.
The number of people living with cancer is growing and predicted to rise from 2.5million today to four million by 2030. In Norfolk, around 6,000 people are diagnosed with cancer each year. There are approximately 35,300 people living with cancer in the county.
Currently, Cromer Hospital provides a range of acute out-patient and day case services and has a minor injuries unit.
The trust provides acute hospital care to a catchment area of almost 830,000 people from Norfolk and neighbouring counties. The original 1930s Cromer Hospital was redeveloped at a cost of £15million in 2012 and provides a wide range of consultant-led outpatient services, day case operations and a Minor Injuries Unit open seven days a week.
Great hearing
STARTS WITH US
The proposed centre will enable patients, many of whom currently travel to Norwich, to have their treatment and access support services closer to home.
The centre, on the site of the former Davison Unit, will include: • Six chemotherapy treatment chairs with capacity to treat up to 36 patients a day. • Three new clinic rooms and two new minor procedure rooms, creating an additional 10,000 outpatient appointments annually. • A Macmillan cancer information and support centre. • The new unit will also free up space in the main Cromer Hospital building to deliver an extra 600 surgical procedures in dermatology, urology, vascular surgery and pain management.
of Cromer Hospital is a key part of our plans to provide the best care for patients with cancer.”

Hedgehog Haven
Model Engineering Club in need of a new home
In the last two weeks yet more hoglets have been admitted.
These little ones normally would be snuggled in the nest with mother and siblings keeping each other warm – a lone one soon loses body heat so they need constant contact heat.
Can anyone help our small club please?
The North Norfolk Model Engineering Club has been active since 1992. We are a broad range of model engineers who build all sorts of models and currently have a miniature railway at Holt station for steam and battery operated locomotives.
I am often asked about fleas. A healthy hog has fleas. If one is admitted with none alarm bells ring that there is a health issue even if nothing is visible. I spray the spines with a cat flea product avoiding the face. Fleas soon fall off and die and until they go back into the wild will not have anymore. Hedgehog fleas cannot usually survive on dogs or cats.
Having been on the site of the North Norfolk Railway for almost 16 years our lease will come to an end early next year due to the NNR wanting to develop its site and extend its museum facilities.
Andrew Munden, General Manager of the North Norfolk Railway said that “We will be very sorry to see the North Norfolk Model Engineering Club leave the station site after all these years, but the long awaited development of the Holt site will soon be underway and this will occupy the site currently used by the miniature railway, that provides rides to our visitors during the summer months. The North Norfolk Railway hopes the club will be able to secure new premises that will enable them to remain in the local area to the benefit of all visitors and the town.”
We are looking for a parcel of land about 1.5 to 2 acres, fairly flat that we could fit our operation into, that may be available to rent. If anyone has land available we would be pleased to hear from you; E mail us at northnorfolkmodelengineeringcl@gmail.com or contact us through our Facebook page North Norfolk Model Engineering Club.
We are running for public rides during the summer holidays on Sunday and Thursday afternoons and at the 1940s event on 14/15 September. So look forward to seeing you soon.

Norfolk’s 2019 Heritage Open Days festival brochure is launched at historic Marble Hall
This year’s Heritage Open Days (HODs) festival brochure with ten unmissable days of free tours, talks, walks, open days, exhibitions, performances and shows planned across Norfolk was launched last month.
Heritage champions, local dignitaries and festival organisers gathered at Marble Hall for the launch – with the historic home of Aviva at Surrey House one of the many venues opening its doors for tours throughout the festival. HODs is England’s largest festival of history and culture and this year marks the 25th anniversary, with a special ‘People Power’ theme being celebrated across many events. The theme demonstrates the influence groups and individuals have had over history to bring about positive change in their communities – and in Norfolk events include a new Kett’s Rebellion Tour, a display on the Burston School Strike and a guided story of Edith Cavell.
This year’s festival takes place from Friday 13 September to Sunday 22 September, with more than 350 events lined-up in Norwich and across Norfolk. The festival brochure is available to pick up now from The Forum in Norwich as well as Tourist Information Centres, libraries and venues across the county and electronically at www.theforumnorwich.co.uk/hods.
All festival events are free to attend with many available for visitors to drop-in on the day unless indicated otherwise in the festival brochure. Some popular venues and events with limited space must be pre-booked, with bookings opening on Monday 29 July at 10am.

Digital Assets on Death
When it comes to digital assets, there is a common misconception that this only relates to assets such as Bitcoin or other online currency, however as there is no definitive definition of what is constitutes a 'digital asset', it could include online banking, images or videos stored on smartphone to presentations and designs.
So what happens to these digital assets and online accounts when we die and what is the value of these digital assets? Some will have little or no value, but some items, in particular photos and videos may have huge sentimental value as they will charter large portions of your life and the lives of your friends and family – you would never want to lose those, would you?
Case Study: With wedding season upon us, it is standard practice now that the photographer who is hired will take digital photographs, which will be available to the happy couple via a memory stick after a few weeks. It is also not uncommon for a few photographs to be sent to the couple the day after the wedding, which are usually shared on Facebook.
So what would happen if the photographer was to pass away? The photographs are the property of the photographer and if they were to die, it could mean that their executors are unable to access them if they have not been given, or do not know the password to the computer, or email account. If the photographer had been hired for many weddings and the pictures could not be accessed, this could cause a loss to the estate, not to mention the happy couple may not be
as happy with having no photographic memories of their special day.
What about the happy couple? A lot of us often agree to the T&C's without reading them. When it comes to social media accounts it is usually the case that the data on our account is not owned by us, and rather is licenced.
With the case of the happy couple who have shared their wedding pictures online, this means that if they were to pass away, their executors may not have the right to gain access to their social media accounts after they have died - so they have no way to access and store the pictures.
Pictures you post to social media sites are more likely than not to then be the property of the site, rather than you. It is important to back up these pictures to a disc or print out hard copies if they are of sentimental value. This way others have easy access to the pictures on your death.
Some social media sites, like Facebook, have activated a 'Facebook Legacy' button so that the account holder can 'will' their account to another person, such as their executor. This is an alternative to sharing your account login details with your executor whilst you are alive, especially when we are continually told not to share passwords.
It should be noted that each social media site has their own process for notifying that someone has passed away, therefore the executor should check the privacy statement/T&Cs of the site.
How do you share your passwords whilst protecting your passwords? If you have made a Will through a solicitors firm, they usually offer to store the document in a strong room. In with your Will you can include a document which provides the account login details and passwords for all of
your digital assets, such as online bank accounts, Paypal, Netflix and emails.
Considering your digital assets when making a Will Given that we are living in the digital age and the phenomenon of digital assets is likely to continue, it is good practice when making a Will to have a think about your assets and if any of these are digital assets. As mentioned above, an inventory should be left with your Will which sets out all of the accounts you have, along with the account login details.
We recommend that you review your Will every 5 years, or when you have a life changing event, such as marriage or children. This includes reviewing any document which is held with your Will or incorporated into it, such as a list of your digital assets. Remember to always read the T&Cs when creating or updating your online account! Establishing if you own the digital content or if it is licenced can be the difference between it being able to pass in accordance with your Will or not. A helpful way to remember is that digital records, such as social media accounts, do not pass with your Will or Intestacy, whereas digital property rights and interests, sometimes referred to as intellectual property, do pass. It is extremely important that you receive legal advice when making a Will, particularly when it comes to digital assets as this is a fairly new area when it comes to the law of Wills and Succession. At Clapham & Collinge we have a dedicated team of experts who are able to provide you with all of the necessary information, support and legal advice when making a Will.

CREDIT CRUNCH COOKING
Nuts about Cookies!
Adding a little alcohol to your recipes can add a lovely dimension of flavour. I often pop some into fruit fools, cake recipes and puddings. This recipe started life as a Forties austerity recipe, and has evolved over the years, being added to as the fancy takes me.
I noticed a bottle of Amaretto in Budgens last week for only £4.99, which was just begging to be added to recipes. The bottle will last for a long time, as long as you don’t drink it whilst preparing your food!! I’ve only just begun to experiment with it, but here’s the first and it works a treat. These cookies were popular before, but now they’re fabulous – super almondy and with a little chocolate thrown in to add to the extravagance.
They freeze well too, so cook up a batch and save half for a rainy day. I make them bite size, but you could make them larger if you wanted too, just adjust the cooking time slightly. They are fantastic at coffee time with a
strong Espresso.
Amaretto, Coconut & Chocolate Drops
8oz sifted wholemeal Self Raising Flour (I use Dove’s Farm, available locally) 8oz Oats 3oz desiccated coconut 6oz margarine or butter (I use Clover) 4oz soft light brown sugar 2 tblsp golden syrup (Dip spoon in boiling water first to help it come off the spoon easily) 2 tsp almond essence 2 tablespoons Amaretto liqueur Flaked almonds to top 1 and ½ bars 70% cocoa dark chocolate (You could use milk choc if you prefer, but I like dark choc!)
Cream the syrup, margarine, almond essence, sugar and Amaretto until smooth and pale. Mix the dry ingredients together and fold into the wet mixture. Flour your hands and roll mixture into balls the size of golf
balls, flatten slightly and top with a few flaked almonds and place onto greased baking trays. Bake on 180° for approx. 15 to 20 mins, or until golden and cooked through. Cool on wire racks, and break up the chocolate into a bowl over simmering water to melt. Once melted, dip the cooled cookie bottoms into the chocolate and put back onto the rack upside down in the fridge to set.
Keep in an airtight box for up to a week, preferably in the fridge to stop the chocolate melting in this hot weather.

Recycling your own fat! Fat transfer for facial and body contouring A three dimensional face lift or body augmentation.
Age and nature can be very unkind to us. We tend to gain weight were we don’t want and lose it from where we don’t want to! This is due to physiology of ageing, our hormones and metabolism.
We can however cheat a little to help reverse these changes. We can take fat from where we don’t want it and put a little where we want it. Sounds exciting!
A lot of us think about improving our facial or body contours, whether it is to lose some fat from diet and exercise resistant areas or just to look good. Liposuction has come of age and is now performed purely under local anaesthesia. What is even more attractive is that we can now recycle this fat to fill out areas where you have lost volume from!
Fat is your own natural filler. Fat is not merely a passive ‘filler'. It is an active metabolic tissue and a rich source of various growth factors and stem cells. Use of fat to fill areas of volume loss is not new but we have new techniques and refinements which make it very successful. This procedure is very attractive if you are also considering body contouring or liposuction. Recent problems with breast implants have made fat transfer procedure attractive
for breast enhancement.
What happens with facial ageing? The old method of looking at facial ageing was based on a gravitational model: that all things fall over time. The new model of the facial ageing process focuses on the primary importance of how the face deflates and loses volume decade after decade. What was once thought to be sagging has now been understood to be caused by facial deflation. A facelift without volume restoration looks artificial. Replacing lost fat results in a natural look.
What happens with ageing of the body? Redistribution of body fat occurs due to changes in metabolism and ageing. Fat is lost from certain body areas and face and accumulates in other areas such as chin, jowls, hips and thighs. These localised deposits of fat can be resistant to diet and exercise.
What is fat transfer? Fat transfer is the transfer of fat from one part of your body to another. A doctor must carefully harvest fat cells that are then injected to firm, fill out or plump up other body part like faces, hands, cheeks, breasts or buttocks. This is also known as fat injections or autologous fat grafting. Since it is your own body fat there is no
www.rosevillapublications.co.uk

chance of allergic reactions. Some of the injected fat can be reabsorbed by the body and more than one session may be required.
This procedure is performed under local anaesthesia. The fat injections create a lasting youthful appearance.

Annual Charity Golf Day Success
On behalf of the Holt Youth Project and North Norfolk Rotary Club may I through your publication confirm we have raised £9000 from our Annual Charity Golf Day at Royal Cromer Golf Club, held on 17 July. Our thanks go to the management, professional shop and catering team for the superb services offered and without which we could not hold the event. Alongside the many volunteers that help make the day a success.
The event was held with a full team compliment of 96 players and complete hole sponsorship, which we are indebted to all the many local businesses who supported us, once again. An especial mention to Norfolk Homes who were our main sponsor and have been now for several years.
The winning team was captained by Jason Sheridan from JMS with a winning score of 99, 2nd Ryan Carter’s team 96 with Lee Patterson’s 3rd with 95.
We had a lovely and inspiring talk from Julie Alford (Manager and Founder) detailing the varied mix of services currently offered by the Holt Youth Project. She was accompanied by two sisters who are part of the ‘Young Carers’ who inspired the group alongside presenting the prizes. Kevin Abbs

NORTH NORFOLK HOCKEY CLUB BREAKS NATIONAL RECORD
Founded in 2014, North Norfolk Hockey Club plays a major role in the Norfolk community by bringing people of all ages together through sport. The club has members ranging in age from 4 years of age into their 70s and there is a refreshing 50/50 split by gender. The club has recently invested considerably in training its members to become England Hockey accredited coaches and on Sunday 7 July an incredible 17% of the club’s adult membership qualified as coaches, a national record.
A spokesperson for the NNHC Junior section said “Being a small club we are able to gain really first-hand feedback from parents. This investment in developing our coaches was inspired by them and we realise their aim is for us to provide professional, high quality coaching that supports all players to be as good as they can be. We might very well be the smallest club in Norfolk but I think we are the one investing most heavily in coaching.
“As the club has grown over recent years we have begun to participate in Juniors tournaments hosted by other Norfolk clubs. Stepping up to competitive matches was a real challenge for the players but we now punch much above our weight and have experienced considerable success but still kept it fun. Attendance levels at training on a Tuesday night are about 90% whatever the weather.”
NNHC Juniors train on Tuesdays at Sheringham High School all-weather pitch. The first session of the new season is on 10 September and our club website and Facebook page offer information and information on how we can be contacted.

Running Club Race Donation helps keep EAAA helicopters flying
Members of Coltishall Jaguars Club were proud to hand-over a £2000 donation to the East Anglian Air Ambulance.
The money was raised through proceeds from entry fees to the Club’s annual Mike Groves 10K race. Growing in popularity, this year’s event held on 2 June, saw a record-breaking 577 runners completing the course in extremely hot conditions.
The Jaguars’ Club Race Director Paul Taylor said “We are always thrilled to be able to support the East Anglian Air Ambulance each year. And it’s great that running really seems to be taking off in a big way, with people running for fitness and fun, not just competitively. Each and every one who took part and helped make the Mike Groves race such a big success and helped raise this money.”
13th
The original Mike Groves race was held in 2000, in memory of Michael Groves, a talented athlete who died in a traffic accident. The success of the race led to Mike’s father Alan Groves and his son Paul, launching Coltishall Jaguars Running Club in 2004. This year’s record amount of runners reflects the running club’s growing success and popularity. Sophie Emmanuel, Community Fundraiser at East Anglian Air Ambulance, was able to show some of the Jaguars around the EAAA base at Norwich Airport. Accepting the donation on behalf on the EAAA, a charity which receives no direct government funding and is reliant on donations, Ms Emmanuel thanked the Jaguars and explained that the £2000 would go a long way towards funding a life-saving mission “We are hugely grateful to the Coltishall Jaguars for supporting the air ambulance. £2000 is a fantastic amount of money to raise and it will help to keep our two emergency helicopters flying.” She went on to add “Our life-saving charity needs support from the community now more than ever as we move to become a 24/7 service by helicopter in 2020. Thank you to everyone who supported this event.”
