Merlot-poached Pears Christmas is nearly here and we have been extremely busy with all the usual festive accoutrements that accompany this time of year.

with vanilla and cinnamon

Remove the pears and reduce the liquid by 2/3rds. Leave the liquid to cool.

Pour over the pears to serve (with ice-cream!)

As always we will be holding our annual Carol Concert on 23rd December at 6pm; it’s a great way to kick off your holiday and get into the spirit of things with some lusty singing and the best sausage rolls and mince pies this side of Bethlehem.

Our annual event – held to raise money for Cromer RNLI – is always hosted by our good friend Darren Thornton - now Reverend Thornton, Dean of Norwich, but once Darren from the Chocolate Box who used to moonlight at the Grove waiting tables in the summer. He once dashed back in the middle of the night in a panic thinking that he’d left the hot water boiler on, and was discovered at 3am wedged halfway through the pantry window attempting to check the switch. But he has moved on to bigger and better things and it is always lovely to see him in his old stomping ground once more.

Please enjoy our seasonal poached pears and we’ll hopefully see you for dinner before Christmas.

750ml bottle of Merlot 200g golden caster sugar 2 cinnamon sticks snapped in half 1 vanilla pod halved lengthways and halved again 4 firm pears (peeled) Pour the wine, sugar, cinnamon and vanilla into a deep medium-sized pan and heat gently until the sugar melts.

Add the pears and make sure they are completely submerged in the wine.

Simmer for 30-45 minutes until the pears are just tender, then turn off the heat and allow to cool in the syrup.

Spiced Butternut Squash Soup

by Matt Stacey, Chef at the Dales, Upper Sheringham Full of flavour and quite healthy too - enjoy!

Ingredients 1kg butternut squash, peeled and deseeded 2 tbsp olive oil 1 tbsp butter 2 onions, peeled and diced 1 garlic clove, thinly sliced 2 mild red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped 1 tsp ground cumin 1 tsp ground coriander 850ml hot vegetable stock 4 tbsp crème fraîche, plus more to serve

Method Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.

Cut the squash into large cubes, then toss in a large roasting tin with half the olive oil.

Roast for 30 mins, turning once during cooking, until golden and soft.

While the squash cooks, melt the butter with the remaining oil in a large saucepan, then add the onions, garlic, ground cumin and coriander and ¾ of the chilli.

Cover and cook on a very low heat for 10-15 mins until the onions are completely soft.

Tip the squash into the pan, add the stock and the crème fraîche.

Put the soup into a liquidiser in

batches and blitz, until smooth.

Return to the pan, 01263 824555 gently reheat, then season to taste.

01263 838383 Serve the soup in bowls with swirls of crème fraîche and a scattering 01263 579579 of the remaining chopped chilli.

- also known as Polaris laser, Laser Skin Tightening or Laser Genesis - the perfect lunch-time procedure What does it do?

It is an innovated, technologically advanced way to promote vibrant and healthy looking skin in men and women. The non-invasive laser procedure safely, discretely and effectively treats fine lines, wrinkles, large pores, uneven skin texture and diffuse redness. You can expect to see subtle results after just one treatment without unwanted side effects.

What does the treatment feel like?

Patients describe the treatment as relaxing and therapeutic.

You will experience a gentle warming of your skin’s surface as the laser headpiece is moved back and forth above you skin.

Laser procedure is very comfortable; it’s sometimes called the warm laser facial. It is a gentle, relaxing and virtually painless procedure with zero downtime.

How does it work?

The effect that Laser treatment has on your skin is a gradual one. Most of our patients begin to see an improvement in their skin after about 3 or 4 treatments. We use a medical grade laser to gently heat the skin below the surface. This “healthy heat” stimulates the body’s own natural healing response which stimulates new skin cell growth and collagen production.

The texture of your skin literally becomes smoother.

Depending on what you are having treated, pores get smaller, lines are decreased as your underlying collagen is refreshed, and color of your skin will even out while redness is diffused.

normal activities immediately following the treatment. You may be flushed from the heat but that will disappear within a few hours of the treatment. The most common side effect of Laser treatment is beautiful skin!

What can you expect?

Laser treatment can help restore the skin’s youthful glow and appearance by smoothing out uneven textures caused by aging, sun damage or scars. You will see a creamier, healthy complexion as large pores reduce in size, and minor imperfections are diminished. The individual treatment results are subtle, but the overall effect of multiple treatments can be quite dramatic.

Can anyone have it done?

Yes. Adults of all ages and all skin types can benefit from Laser treatment and can have it done year round.

How does it differ from other laser treatments you offer?

If you have obvious issues or medical conditions such as rosacea, acne, acne scarring or pigmentation issues then you need a customised treatment plan which may include any one or more of our sixteen lasers. We first suggest a consultation with our doctor for such problems.

Contact us on 0800 0430737 or www.coltishallclinic.co.uk

What is diffuse redness?

Diffuse redness is the appearance of facial redness, such as rosy cheeks. This condition is caused by dilated capillaries. The most common areas are the nose, forehead and cheeks. Diffuse redness is often associated with a condition called rosacea.

Laser treatment will help your appearance by gently generating heat in the dilated capillaries resulting in reduced redness.

How many treatments will you need?

People and conditions will vary in the way they respond, based on their skin biology. Typically we recommend a series of 4 to 6 treatments to optimize the results.

How long does the treatment take?

Each treatment session takes about 30 minutes.

What are the side effects?

Most patients report few if any side effects and return to their

Yoga Experience

Veronica Zappia from Aylmerton has been teaching yoga for 10 years and her classes have always been light-hearted, sometimes even silly, but always fun.

One day, Veronica explains “I had an idea that it would be fun to teach yoga to children. So without any research I just went on-line and booked an intensive children's yoga teacher training course staying in an ASHRAM somewhere in India.

Wow what a shock, but amazing adventure it turned out to be. It took 23hrs to finally reach the ASHRAM. To say basic would be an understatement. My accommodation was sort of a big hut shared with three others. My bed was like sleeping on a wooden bench (I averaged 3/4 hrs sleep per night). The bathroom was a dodgy toilet and two taps, bucket and jug for a shower (which was shared with my room mates after a 17 hr day of lectures, practical sessions and meals that had to be taken in silence). Each evening the rats partied in our roof, although it sounded like they were in our room! Both the huge mosquitos and ants were very hungry!

One day, I came out of dining room to be greeted by a cobra with its hood up - I'm afraid I have to say I broke the silence rule just this once - and another time during Yoga Nidra (deep relaxation) I was shouted to grab a branch from a tree and race over the hills, through the long grass, to help put a fire out. I have to admit to crying all the way to the fire thinking long grass means scorpions cobras spiders etc!

The most amazing part, or you could call it the icing on the cake, was being invited to a primary school in the city of NASIK and getting to use all the skills we had been taught on our course at ASHRAM, teaching yoga to the young Indian children. They loved it and so did we.

When I got home, I could not believe what an impression the whole experience had had on me. A part of that third world country thousands of miles away was now coming back to Norfolk. Considering how shocking it all was at first and how basic, hard and intense the whole experience was, I am left feeling so lucky, fortunate and excited about my future of teaching yoga to children. The list of benefit for children not just physically but mentally and if needed emotionally is endless.”

Three on the trot for Baker

Sanville opened up a 5-2 lead after a Just over 30 years ago Cromer squash successful series of sliced backhand player Jeff Morris tragically died on court volleys it looked as though an upset was and the club decided to honour his memory by instigating a tournament for players aged possible. Baker soon got into his stride however and a succession of winning rallies 35 and over which was held for the first enabled him to lead 8-5. Sanville responded time in the autumn of 1985. This year was the 30th anniversary of that first tournament well to draw level at 8-8 but Baker eventually closed out the game on his fourth “game and, in the final last ball” to win the game 10-8. month, John Baker, who Baker’s natural game is to drive the ball first won the title in 2004 hard into the back corners and in fact and was runner up in Technical Director Barry Starling said 2008, completed a hatthat he still hits the ball cleaner than trick of titles and won the anybody else in the club.

He said “although the final score was 3-0 the match was much harder than that and if Martin had taken the first game the result could well have been different” Sanville said “I just wanted to give a good account of myself and I think I did that – all credit to John, he thoroughly deserved to win.”

In the semi finals Baker defeated the tournament’s oldest competitor, John Chandler, 9-5 9-2 9-2 while Sanville had to work hard to beat the 2013 runner-up Gary Spruce 9-5 9-7 9-5.

Long ago, before radiators ruled and boilers burned, And frost grew icy blue on the inside of windows, My father rose at five for the early shift, whilst we Slept, snug and warm under sheets and blankets.

He would dress breathing breath like smoke and with Sleep still on his mind, light the fire in the cold grate.

He would quietly make his breakfast and drink his tea.

The fire would roar and heat the house and he would slip Quietly off to work, wrapped and packed against the cold.

An hour later we would wake to a warm house and eat Breakfast in the warmth of my father’s love.

Flood survivor’s memories in the spotlight

Roger Bean of Walcott was just seven years old when the flood surge of 1953 devastated his village.

Now aged 70 Mr Bean has been sharing his memories of that catastrophic night with the members of a theatre company who are preparing a new touring production about the events of January 31st 1953.

Norfolk-based fEast Theatre has developed a reputation for high quality touring theatre specialising in themes and stories from the eastern region. The company is currently collecting recollections of those who experienced the floods first hand and is planning to weave those memories into the script of their new play Winter ’53.

Mandy McKenna with Roger Bean Interviewed earlier this month by fEast writer Rob John and director Mandy McKenna in his home in Coast Road just two doors from the cottage in which he’d lived as a child, Mr Bean recalled that fateful Saturday night when 307 people on the east coast of England were drowned.

‘It’s the little things that make the memories so vivid and dramatic,’ said Mandy McKenna. ‘Roger was able to give us a seven year old’s recollection of the sound of the wind, a knock on the door late at night and his shock when he found that the road he walked each day to school had just vanished in the night. We’ll definitely be using some of those memories in our show.’ fEast Theatre is eager to meet other people who experienced first-hand the floods of ’53. Anybody willing to share their memories with fEast Theatre can contact Mandy McKenna on 07799 191492 or mandy.mckenna@icloud.com

Happisburgh Lifeboat Station

Happisburgh RNLI Lifeboat Station volunteers have been busy over the past few months, not only improving their skills to save lives at sea, but also supporting their community with participation in some local events.

October saw ten of our volunteers taking to a zip wire from the top of the Lighthouse, to raise funds for the Lighthouse Trust and mark their 25th anniversary raising £1,000. 17 of our volunteers spent two weeks bringing their First Aid skills up to date and they all passed with flying colours so they are ready to save lives at sea, and also in their community if needed.

November saw our volunteers join with the community at the Remembrance Sunday Service at the Parish Church. The Happisburgh Play Space scheme needed help with the play area on Beach Road so they stepped up and helped with the ground works. 24th November saw Jake Munday spend 3 hours at sea with the Divisional Inspector to pass out as Helm of our Atlantic Lifeboat.

December 3rd saw the crew getting an early Christmas present with the arrival of a newer Atlantic 75 lifeboat, “Joan Mary” B-778 came from Mablethorpe Lifeboat Station who have just taken delivery of a new Atlantic 85. The Joan Mary is ten years old so much newer than Douglas Paley, which has been at Happisburgh since 2012 and has been returned to Poole before a decision on her future use within the RNLI is made.

Cubitt Siely Jnr has just returned from RNLI College at Poole after completing a Helm course, as he works towards becoming a D-Class Helm.

We would like to thank all our supporters and our community for all their help throughout the year and wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Blickling Proms 2016 to feature Brit-Award winning harmony trio ‘Blake’ Early bird tickets available at only £29 until 31 January 2016 Revival Productions are ramping things up a gear for 2016 with the announcement of very special guests, the Brit-Award winning harmony trio, ‘Blake’ who will be performing for what has become an absolute favourite in the Norfolk county calendar. So, keep Saturday 13 August free, as concert organisers are promising the best Blickling Proms concert to date. As Lisa Ward from Revival Productions explains “We are absolutely delighted that ‘Blake’ have agreed to perform on the Blickling stage for us next year. They have a global following and it’s going to be a fantastic opportunity for local people to come and see them live at this stunning venue. They’ve just launched their first Christmas album, ‘Christmas Classics’ which is being tipped for a Christmas Number One and a favourite in everyone's home over the festive period.” Early bird tickets for the concert are available now, at £29, until 31 January 2016.

Blake comprises three men whose friendship and musical careers date back to their school days. After reuniting via Facebook as adults, they recorded their first album in 2007, which was a phenomenal success, going straight to No. 1 in the UK Classical Album Chart.

With over 100,000 copies of the album selling in just three weeks, the group earned its first Gold Disc. Recognised by the music industry for their talent, the album received the prestigious Classical Brit Award for Album of the Year in 2008 a huge honour for a group that was still less than a year old. Five albums and several world tours later, 2015 has been another incredibly busy year for the Blake trio, ending with them “dueting” with Dame Shirley Bassey for an incredible version of their recently-released single,

‘The Christmas Song’ (Dame Shirley Bassey’s first-ever Christmas single). Blake will be appearing on the Christmas Day Special of Strictly Come Dancing with Dame Shirley Bassey.

The group also has personal links with Norfolk - Humphrey Berney, one of the Trio, is particularly happy to be returning to his home county, having been born and raised on a farm just outside Dereham. He said “To perform at the Blickling Proms has always been a dream – it’s one of the most famous and loved houses in Norfolk and to perform there with Blake will undoubtedly be a highlight of 2016.”

The Blickling Proms 2016 is going to be the best one so far, says organiser Lisa Ward, “We wanted to come up with something special for our 5th concert and Blake fitted the bill perfectly. In the first-half, Blake will perform some of their best-loved classics, including You Raise Me Up, Hallelujah and Fields of Gold; so it will be a really rousing start to the evening.

The second half will see them returning to the stage to sing more iconic tracks, such as Bring Him Home and Nessun Dorma as well as all the Proms favourites like Rule Britannia, Land of Hope & Glory and British anthem “Jerusalem”, which was composed

by William Blake who inspired the name of the group, so I imagine it will be a particularly exhilarating version!”

It promises to be a celebratory evening featuring some of Britain’s best classical

singers and musicians, so come and join in the fun. The highly-acclaimed Sinfonia Viva orchestra, under conductor Roderick Dunk, will be returning to what is becoming an annual favourite for thousands of concert-goers who know they can expect a truly memorable evening.

As well as having FREE parking (for both coaches and cars), guests can bring their flags, picnics and wine, dress for the occasion if they so wish, sing along and soak up the atmosphere with friends in the outstanding Blickling Hall setting.

The evening will conclude with a stunning fireworks finale over the lake, choreographed to the music.

Don’t miss out - Early Bird tickets (£29/ ticket offer ends 31st January 2016) and event details are now available online at www.revival-productions.co.uk or you can call the box office on 01283 841601; group discounts of up to 20% are also available.

From 1st February 2016, tickets will be £33 (£36 on the night).

THE NORTH NORFOLK GARDENER Picking Christmas decorations from the garden

Holly and Ivy have been used as winter decorations since ancient times. Decorating homes with these plants ‘freshened’ the air and their greenery reminded occupants of the coming spring. While the cold, dark days of winter turned much of the landscape dreary, holly and ivy remained green signifying eternal life, and the bright red holly berries provided cheerful spots of colour.

Additionally, these evergreen plants were believed to have magical properties. In some ancient cultures, the howling, icy winds in the dark nights of winter were thought to be ghosts and demons. Decorating with holly and ivy was thought to ward off these evil spirits.

Holly has long been associated with winter holidays. Early Europeans used holly as ornamentation during their winter solstice celebrations to signify the gradual lengthening of days and the coming of spring. The use of ivy also goes back thousands of years.

The fact that ivy stayed green throughout the year led some to believe it had magical properties and it symbolised eternal life, rebirth and the spring season. In some cultures ivy was a symbol of marriage and friendship, perhaps due to its tendency to cling.

It is really satisfying if we can decorate our houses using greenery from our own garden and if you don’t have evergreen plants that can be cut for Christmas decorations this is a good time to make plans for future years.

There are some 400 varieties of holly but possibly the most commonly grown variety is Ilex aquifolium, which with its numerous garden varieties is extensively used for hedging or as a single specimen tree. All species have inconspicuous , five petalled green or white flowers with male and female flowers usually being borne on separate trees. It is therefore necessary to have male and female plants growing close together to ensure that berries are produced. The varieties ‘Argentea Marginata’ and ‘Handsworth New Silver’ have gained an RHS Award of Garden Merit’ and are very attractive.

Ivies produce two kinds of growth, juvenile or runner growth with, with lobed leaves and aerial roots which attach themselves to any surface, and adult or arborescent growth, which has leaves with waxy margins and no aerial roots, and which bears flowers and fruit. Cuttings taken from the arborescent growth, will retain the adult form and develop into rounded, bushy shrubs. Recommended varieties include Hedera canariensis with green leaves that turn bronze in the winter and H. colchica, the Persian Ivy, which has many attractive varieties.

However although we normally think of holly and ivy to complement the fir Christmas tree it is worth walking around the garden to see what other foliage can be used such as bay, rosemary, hebe, pittosporum, eleagnus and myrtle.

So, this Christmas, bring your garden indoors and don’t rely on commercial baubles and tinsel. A couple of hours foraging in the garden could bring plenty of good material, not only foliage but stems, berries, cones and seedheads which can be used to bring some natural magic to your home.

Autumn Notes from the Commons

It still feels we are in autumn as we enter December. Many trees still carry golden leaves and we have yet to experience any real frosts. However, autumn for the Commons starts in September and that seems a long while ago now, also I missed most of it as work took me to Morecambe Bay until around mid-October. Mark Clements, a regular recorder, kept up the good work and noted the wildlife while I was away. In addition it should be noted that thanks to Norfolk County Council two new walkways/bridges have been constructed to help walkers negotiate particular muddy areas.

population shift westwards from its traditional breeding area of the Siberian taiga has accounted for its appearance in Western Europe as normally the bird would winter in South-east Asia.

was seen to fly down to the grass and then to fly back to the thorn tree, not with an insect in its beak but a Field Vole, which was subsequently impaled and later eaten. Mark reported a Firecrest On October 2nd Mark (October 19th), found a delicate white a Brambling and Red Admiral fungus on a dead Fielfare (October branch. It was the 20th). A Chiffchaff was also calling that Porcelain Fungus, a new site record. The day and a female Marsh Harrier crossed first returning flock of Pink-footed Geese the Common (October 23rd), which was were seen on October 4th and on October spotted by Mark as was a Woodcock.

A surprise for Mark was the presence of seven Bearded Tits (October 21st). These birds are generally associated with large areas of reedbeds, such as at Cley, however, in the autumn/winter there is usually some localised movement, generally juveniles.

Mark spotted a juvenile Hobby and 14 Siskins (September 3rd), a Painted Lady (September 5th), a Lesser Whitethroat (September 7th), a Firecrest and Bronze Shieldbug (September 8th), Spotted Flycatcher and three Garden Warblers (September 9th), Wheatear (September 10th), a large movement of Swallows heading west was a feature of September 14th as was the sighting of an Ivy Bee. The Ivy Bee (Colletes headerae) was first found on the Common in 2014 and first found in West Norfolk in 2013. This bee was only recognised as a separate species in 1993 as it bore a close resemblance to two other Colletes bees. It appears to be rapidly spreading north and west from its initial UK mainland discovery in Dorset in 2001.

A Chiffchaff was present November 1st and Mark spotted a Red Admiral. A Firecrest was present from November 10th as were Siskins and Redpolls. The last butterfly of the Common’s year (so far) was another Red Admiral (November 12th) seen sunning itself on a Silver Birch trunk at 9am. A Kingfisher was reported by Mark (November 16th) as well as the Firecrest and a Woodcock. A Short-eared Owl was watched hunting over the grassland near the pond before heading south (November 18th). Two Chiffchaffs were with a mixed flock of Long-tailed Tits, Blue Tits and Goldcrests (November 23rd) and also many Blackbirds were feeding on the Rowen berries. In the Woodland Rise boundary hedge a Barberry was bountiful with berries as were some Hollys, Blackthorns and Hawthorns.

If the old saying is right about it being a hard winter if the birds do not eat all the berries but leave some till later then I think we might need to look out for wintry blasts come the New Year!

Replica carpet is made for Felbrigg Hall after historic looms revived Felbrigg carpet - setting the spool

Comparison

After years of planning and months in the making, the National Trust has announced that Felbrigg Hall’s library is set to be restored to its former glory, with the arrival of a custom-made new carpet based on the unique original.

The original library carpet, which dated from around 1830, had become extremely faded and worn - from age, light and nearly 200 years of use. It was not possible to repair the damaged tapestry carpet, as the original yarn had been dyed with the pattern before being woven. So the National Trust looked at ways to replicate its historic design.

Analysis of the original carpet revealed that it was made up of 30 colours in a 3ft floral design, making it a rare surviving example of a printed tapestry carpet. The pattern was traced and the colours carefully matched, before being expertly woven in strips and sewn into one piece before its arrival at Felbrigg.

The new carpet has been made by specialists from The Living Looms Project, a not-for-profit project based in Stourport that seeks to preserve our nation’s weaving heritage. Their late 19th century carpet looms are the last of their kind in the world and thought to be the only ones capable of making such a replica.

Using traditional methods and historic looms recently revived, they have not only produced a new carpet, but are helping to keep alive the skills to make it.

In recent days, the original carpet has been removed and new underlay put in place. Now it is time for the new carpet to be laid, giving visitors a taste of the library’s original grandeur.

Eleanor Akinlade is the General Manager at Felbrigg Hall; “It’s felt a little like Christmas, waiting for the carpet to arrive. We’re so pleased the day has finally arrived for it to be laid. The National Trust is founded on the principle of caring for our

country’s heritage and if we want to maintain the intrinsic character of ageing properties like Felbrigg Hall well into the future, then we also need to preserve the traditional skills and machines that will make that possible.” Mike Sutherill, Curator for the National Trust in the East of England, said “The invention of the printed tapestry looms marked a massive change in carpet design, allowing manufacturers to use more colours than they ever could before. So it was important to us, to try to replicate the carpet in as much detail as possible, so visitors to Felbrigg could see just how beautiful and colourful the original carpet would have once looked. To witness the process and skill involved to take single threads to create the colourful pattern in this carpet was just incredible.”

David Luckham, from The Living Looms Project added "Any product is only as good as the specification and skills employed in its manufacture, so it has been a pleasure and privilege for The Living Looms Project to work with the knowledgeable team at the National Trust. Without the support and backing from conservation individuals and organisations like the National Trust for traditional skills and standards to be maintained, numerous important historic textiles including carpets and tapestries will disappear. The houses will be poorer for this and, once gone, these textiles and skills will be lost to future generations.”

Bindi’s Ordeal

At Toll Barn Vets, North Walsham, we are enjoy being able to care for a variety of different pets.

Most of these come from loving homes, however, we are also proud to be able to help many local charities and rescue centres caring for sick, abandoned or stray animals.

Bindi has had a rough start in life and was found roaming the area with terrible injuries to her legs which look suspiciously like they come from a snare trap. One of her front legs had severe damage to the toes, which had caused the claw to grow inside the skin and made it extremely painful for her to walk on the leg. Her back leg had lost almost all of the skin up to the hock (ankle) joint. Thankfully, there were no fractures involved, we undertook surgery to remove two of her toes which were too badly damaged to heal.

Bindi has now recovered from surgery and had several weeks of bandages to help the wound on her back leg to heal. She is now fully recovered and, apart from her scar, shows no signs of her ordeal.

The RSPCA East Norfolk Branch rescued Bindi when she was found injured and have been caring for her with some much needed TLC ever since.

Bindi is now well enough to be rehomed so if you think you could offer her a well-deserved new start in life please contact RSPCA East Norfolk on 07867 972870.

A Merry and Safe Christmas from Toll Barn Vets Heath Road, North Walsham, NR28 0JB. Tel 01692 407126

Christmas is fun for all the family including our pets! However, Christmas is a busy time for our 24/7 on site emergency service with hidden festive dangers...

Christmas Cake, Mince Pies and Fruit Bowls contain raisins, sultanas or grapes. Delicious for us but in pets these can cause kidney damage. They can also contain alcohol causing signs of intoxication, low blood sugar, blood pressure and temperature. Onions and Garlic can also cause vomiting and diarrhoea and potentially destruction of red blood cells (haemolytic anaemia). Mum’s sage and onion stuffing might taste great but it’s best to avoid giving pets “left overs”.

Chocolate contains theobromine which is toxic to dogs. The amount of theobromine varies with the type of chocolate (dark chocolate contains the highest levels). Depending on the amount and type of chocolate eaten, signs range from vomiting and diarrhoea to wobbliness, seizures and changes in heart rhythm (arrhythmias). It is helpful to tell your vet how much and what type of chocolate was eaten to help determine whether a toxic dose has been reached.

Pets, especially dogs, have an exceptional sense of smell and often hunt out Bones, Foil or String from bins. Bones are often brittle and splinter easily causing blockages or tears within the oesophagus and intestine, whilst foil and string cause obstructions within the stomach and intestine. Many foods also contain high levels of fat increasing the risk of pancreatitis.

Around the house Tinsel and Ornaments are particularly attractive. If eaten these often cause blockages within the intestines. Candles and Fairy Lights are appealing to curious pets but can result in electrocution or burns if chewed so place them out of reach of naughty paws! Christmas trees are also potentially toxic as pine needles cause irritation of the mouth, vomiting, diarrhoea and weakness. Naughty puppies and kittens can also injure themselves climbing Christmas trees so it is advisable to have a barrier to prevent access and keen supervision!

Lilies from festive bouquets can cause kidney failure in cats. If your cat comes into contact with lilies and the pollen sticks to their fur immediately place a buster collar or t-shirt to prevent them licking and contact your vet. Holly, Mistletoe and Poinsettias are also toxic causing vomiting, diarrhoea and depression. Mistletoe can also cause collapse and changes in heart rate whilst Poinsettia sap causes blistering of the mouth and stomach. We recommend all plants are kept well out of reach of inquisitive pets!

These problems are treatable if caught early enough so if you have concerns our 24/7 on site emergency service is available for our clients throughout Christmas and New Year on our normal number (01692 407126).

Staff from Toll Barn Vets wish you all a safe and Merry Christmas!

New European Succession Laws;

or, why those with EU assets should review their English Wills Written by Miranda Marshall – Director at Hayes + Storr It is often said that the reason that France and other continental countries have so many small farmers is due to their ‘forced heirship’ laws, introduced by Napoleon. We typically think of adjoining, tiny fields farmed by cousins, with all the family feuds that accompany such geographical and familial proximity.

Napoleon codified French and other European laws and created rigid legal structures which endure this day.

Amongst these are the European ‘forced heirship’ rules whereby certain fixed portions of a deceased person’s estate must go to designated heirs. Contrast this with the English right of testamentary freedom and you will see one of many legal examples of ‘vive la difference’.

But is all that set to change?

New EU cross-border inheritance laws are now in place, allowing individuals to opt out of the forced heirship rules that apply in a number of EU countries.

Individuals may opt either for the law of the country of their nationality or last habitual residence to apply to any assets across Europe.

The default rules will remain that the law of the country where someone is a habitual resident when they die is the law that governs succession to their estate as a whole. The new rules are intended to ease cross-border succession.

Even though the UK (and Ireland and Denmark) opted out of the new rules, there are implications for Brits with assets in other EU countries. If someone has an English Will, they will automatically have chosen English law. As well as removing EU forced heirship rules governing the succession of EU assets owned by a British national (a good thing), the changes mean, for instance, that the right for disappointed persons to claim against their overseas assets [under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependents) Act 1975]

might well now arise (a bad thing).

Those owning assets in other EU countries are well advised to take specialist advice on whether to alter their existing English Wills in the light of these new rules. In doing so, they can both seek to avoid potential conflicts and to ensure that what they own goes to whom they wish.

“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”.

If you require advice on this matter please contact Miranda on 01328 710210.

If you require advice on any other legal matter please telephone our North Walsham office on 01692 503081 or email law@hayes-storr.com.

Children and coaches from ten Norfolk and Suffolk-based rugby clubs took part in North Walsham Rugby Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 39th Mini-Rugby Festival, sponsored by Greshamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School.

Despite windy and muddy conditions, the day was a huge success for everyone who took part.

Greshamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rugby Coach, Sam Curtis, assisted by some current and former members of Greshamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1st XV Rugby team ran a fun rugby game where children had to try and throw a ball through a cut-out rugby player to win prizes which included signed rugby balls by Old Greshamians and England and British Lions Internationals, Tom and Ben Youngs, an undoubtedly popular addition to the Festival!

The teams who took part in the Festival ranged in ages from U7s to U12s and included players from Swaffham, Norwich, Holt, Wymondham, Diss, Bury St Edmunds, Lowestoft & Great Yarmouth, West Norfolk, Southwold and North Walsham.

LONG ARMS AND GENEROUS POCKETS IN BRISTON!

On Friday 27 November, the last Briston Organ Show of 2015 thrilled the large audience without a star performer, but instead with local organist and entertainer Mick Leary playing his Hammond organ and Yamaha keyboard. The wide range of music included a medley of Richard Rodgers hits, themes from 'Mack and Mabel', some thumping Rock and Roll numbers from the 60's, and the haunting theme from 'Riley, Ace of Spies'. One of his pupils, Paul Perris, played some selections including 'The Sound Of Music', and some of the lovely people who help run the shows throughout the year also chipped in, with Anne Fippard and Jean Dawson wishing they had looked after their teeth better, and David Parsons trying to introduce some culture to the show with a poetry reading, while out of sight behind him, but in full view of the audience, all sorts of shenanigans emphasising how long and boring the poem were unfolding.

Towards the end of the evening, the Two Rennies (aka Mick and his partner Carol Parsons) gave us the latest local 'news' bulletin, which had the audience in fits of laughter!

The last Briston Organ Show of every year is now a fundraiser for the excellent ORBIS Flying Eye Hospital Charity, and proceeds from ticket sales, refreshments, Vera Money's fundraising stall and some very kind individual donations raised an incredible £808 - and a further private donation has topped that up to an amazing £850 for the excellent ORBIS cause! All flying and medical staff from this wonderful charity are volunteers, and even their aircraft was donated to them by FedEx.

A big 'thank' you to all who attended and supported the show so amazingly well, to those who made fools of themselves in the sketches, to Claire for the Raffle, Colin for sorting out the carparking, and Anne Aspinal who also assisted with the excellent refreshments. Thank you all so much!

Our next show will be on Friday 12 February 2016 when we are so lucky to have a very last public performance from ace organist Michael McAneny. He was going to finish his playing on the club circuit at the end of this year, but a little armtwisting, and because he says 'the Briston crowd are the best all over the UK I have ever played for', he has decided to do this very last show just for us! Tickets are now on sale, and you can get yours booked by 'phoning Carol on 01263 860844. We knows it is a bit early, but may we take this opportunity to wish all our regular audiences, and hopefully all of you out there who will 'give us a go' during 2016, a really Happy Christmas!

Sheringham & Beeston Regis Sea Scout Group Sheringham and Beeston Regis Sea Scout Group held their Annual General Meeting on Wednesday 11 November at their Scout HQ, de Morley Garth.

The Group Scout Leader, John Paine, welcomed The District Commisioner, Paul Henriksen, District Chairman, Fred Crane, District Treasurer, Roger Hill and parents and friends.

After the formal election of Officers The District Commisioner presented The Chief Scout's Silver Award to Cubs Albie Barrell, Cameron Cook and Joshua Pratt as well as badges to the Beavers, Cubs and Scouts.

Leader Susan Wallace was presented with her 15 year service award. The Scout section supported the North Norfolk District Railway's 40's weekend by selling the newspapers as part of their community challenge.

At the end of the meeting our two Young Leaders, Andrew Mitchell and Alexander Ghanbouri (both 17 years old), gave a very enjoyable and informative illustrated talk about their experiences at the Japanese World Jamboree they attended this Summer. Both boys had been in the Sheringham Group since Beavers and had been chosen by the County to be part of the group of 18 to represent the whole of Norfolk. The total number of people at the Jamboree was 34,000 from all over the world. Andrew and Alex also visited Hiroshima, Tokyo, Kyoto and Shin-Yamaguchi as well as taking part in all the very varied and exciting things to do on site. They were especially impressed with the Bullet trains they travelled on which were very fast and always on time! The weather was extremely hot and humid which was quite hard to deal with. To fund this trip both Andrew and Alex had to raise £3000 each, which also helped for a third world boy to attend. They have been an inspiration to the younger members of the Group to aspire to take part in a Jamboree, especially a World one!

Scouting is always in need of help with running the different sections - Beaver Cubs 6-7 year olds, Cub scouts 8-10 year olds and Scouts 10-14 year olds. If you would like to help in any way at all the Group would be pleased to meet you. Please ring 01263 823240 if you would be prepared to help in any way either by fundraising or at meetings.

Christmas at St Margaret’s Thorpe Market We cannot promise the snow outside but we do promise a warm, cosy and atmospheric inside.

The Carol Service for 2015 is on Sunday 20 December at 6.30 pm. It will be led

by Rev Janet Stewart.

The service will be the traditional Nine Lessons and Carols, as broadcast annually

by Kings College Cambridge. This order of service originates from the end of World War 1 and was devised as a national morale-raiser. The organ on this occasion Snowy by Margaret Hunter will be augmented by local musicians. If anyone would like to join us with woodwind, brass or strings, please contact us on info@thorpemarket.org.uk. A chance to dust down those sleeping instruments and start playing again! Mulled wine will end the evening.

Carols 2014 by Paul Damen

The Midnight Service on Thursday 24 December will again be by candlelight and led

by Rev Stewart. It commences at 11.30pm.

Sheringham Coastwatch is looking out for you If variety is the spice of your life, being a volunteer with Sheringham Coastwatch must be the ideal role for you.

What other voluntary role ranges from giving water to a thirsty dog to (on one occasion!) helping to dispose of a hand-grenade? Or helping a holiday-maker with weather or tidal information and then helping in a Coastguard search. And all without moving more than ten feet.

Our volunteers keep a lookout over the cliffs, beaches and sea visible from the former Coastguard lookout high above the Sheringham golf course. If we spot someone in trouble we immediately contact the emergency services (usually HM Coastguard) and provide any assistance requested by them.

So as well as enjoying the spectacular views there is enormous satisfaction in knowing that we are helping to ensure the safety of those on the sea or using the beaches and cliff paths.

Whether you are male or female, of working age or retired, you could enrich your life by joining our friendly group of volunteers.

Members come from many different backgrounds and “work” for three hours on a weekly or fortnightly basis.

No previous maritime experience is needed. Full on-the-job training and on-going support is provided. Professionalism and common sense are the order of the day, not physical ability.

Like to join us?

You must be at least 18 years of age and fit enough to walk to the lookout up a fairly steep hill over some uneven ground.

To find out more please either ring the Station Manager -01263 713392 or email-info@sheringhamcoastwatch.org.uk.

Also www.sheringhamcoastwatch.org.uk has more information.

An application form and a further information sheet can be downloaded from the website or can be picked up from our lookout which is on the coastal path on Skelding Hill above Sheringham Golf Club.

Village Hall Lottery Success

A north Norfolk village will benefit from lottery funding which will help it in its bid to provide their community with a new village hall.

Trimingham’s current village hall, known as The Pilgrim Shelter, will eventually be replaced at Staden Park, much further inland than the present hall. The new hall will support community facilities such as health and leisure services, for example fitness classes, bingo, bridge, health surgeries and a youth club. The Pilgrim Shelter, built more than 80 years ago, is gradually coming closer to the cliff edge and officials now predict it is unlikely to survive beyond another 20 years.

Now thanks to a Big Lottery Fund grant of £28,260, Trimingham Parish Council will be able to develop plans for a new village hall and community centre with space for 200+ people, car parking and improved access. As well as the cash award they will benefit from on-hand lottery advisor support to bid for funding for the final part of the project which could see an award of up to £350,000 to £400,000 which will pay towards the capital costs of the build.

North Norfolk District Council has been working closely with Trimingham Parish Council for the past 18 months to prepare a series of staged successful bids for lottery funding from the

Lottery Reaching Communities Grant scheme.

The lottery success comes on the back of North Norfolk District Council assisting Trimingham Parish Council with a grant of £200,000 from the DEFRA sponsored Coastal Pathfinder Fund in 2010, part of which has already helped to buy the land for the new village hall.

Deputy Leader of North Norfolk District Council and Ward Member Cllr Angie Fitch-Tillett said “I’m absolutely delighted that the project has been successful in securing this development grant from the Lottery Reaching Communities fund. This grant will help the development of the replacement village hall which will be at the heart of village life for future generations.”

Village Hall Benefits from Waitrose Community Fund

Our photo shows members of the Committee of Swanton Abbott Village Hall who recently accepted a cheque from the Waitrose Community Fund. The money will be used to purchase new fencing for the Village Hall Car Park.

Young People of North Norfolk: Your Community Needs You!

North Norfolk Youth Hubs is entering 2016 with community spirit! The New Year will see young people at the Stalham and Cromer Hub planning and taking part in Social Action projects that will benefit their communities. This year, after becoming Dementia Friends through the nationally recognised scheme, Cromer Hub made regular visits to Halsey House care home for elderly residents living with dementia. The Stalham Youth Hub members will be visiting the residents at Sydney House in February and also doing their Dementia Friends training. Young Hubbers have lots of exciting ideas planned, from conservation projects to fundraising for the Youth Hubs.

Cromer Hub will be teaming up with About With Friends from 2016, a community organisation that provides support and activities for adults and young people with learning difficulties. The Hub will be using their resource centre and running joint group activities.

The North Norfolk Youth Hubs is run by Youth Workers at MAP – a charity for young people based in Norwich. The Hubs are free and open to all young people in north Norfolk age 13-19. They give opportunities for young people to learn new skills, become young leaders and be active in their communities whilst giving something back.

Stalham Hub meets each Wednesday from 13 January 2016 4pm - 6pm at the youth hut on the recreation ground. Cromer Hub meets each Thursday from 14 January 2016 4pm - 6pm at Unit 22d, Holt Road at the About With Friends centre. If you or anyone you know age 13-19 are interested in joining one of the Youth Hubs, contact the project lead, Hannah Garrard – Youth Worker at MAP on 07876 864 282 or email hannahgarrard@map.uk.net – you can find out more by liking the Hubs’ Facebook page @ NNHUBS.
