Prep School Support Norfolk’s Farmers St Nicholas House Prep School and Nursery in North Walsham held a Farming Theme Week in the run up to Harvest Festival and to celebrate the contribution of farming to our local economy.

The children learnt where our food comes from and were especially interested in produce grown in Norfolk such as sugar beet, maize, potatoes, rape seed and, with Hallowe’en fast approaching, pumpkins and squash.

Throughout the week, the curriculum was taught with themed lessons and there were several special activities laid on for the children. Mrs Shelley Leggett, Reception Teacher, arranged for the whole school to understand how a bread was made , “I think it is important for the children to link what they eat for breakfast or see in the supermarket with the crops they see in the fields” she said. All the classes in the school made their own bread - taking turns to knead the dough, “it was very messy and much stickier than I thought” commented Year 5 student Ruben “but the bread was really nice and I ate all mine before I got home”.

Prep School Support Norfolk’s Farmers

Continued from front cover...

Reception and Years 1 visited Norton Farm where they had the opportunity to learn all about the machinery, including the milking machine. They saw lots of cows and calves and really enjoyed seeing all the different tractors at work.

On the Friday it was Dress Up Day and there was a special Assembly by Mr Beck, a 5th generation Norfolk farmer and parent of Bertie in Year 2, came in to talk to the children about farming through the seasons - he showed them lots of different crops and those who were brave enough tasted raw sugar beet. He caused great excitement in the playground when he arrived in his tractor and the children enjoyed playing in, on and around it at break and lunch times.

Headmaster, Philip Oldroyd, said “it has been a great week and the children have had fun learning about farming in our region and now have a greater insight into the lives of the farming community here in Norfolk".

St Nicholas House School will be holding a Parents Information Evening for entry into Reception 2018 at 7pm - 8pm on Thursday 9 November and a whole school Open Day on Friday 17 November please ring the school on 01692 403143 or email njo@stnicholashouse.com for more details.

Voluntary Norfolk

As the weather gets colder and the nights darker, many Norfolk residents run the risk of loneliness and isolation, especially if they suffer from a long-term health condition that prevents them getting out and meeting other people. ‘Voluntary Norfolk’ is keen to hear from people who would be able to give some time to make a positive difference to the lives of others.

Voluntary Norfolk’s North Norfolk Health Volunteers scheme, run in partnership with North Norfolk Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), are looking for volunteers to visit people in their own homes, If you could give an hour or so, regularly or even occasionally, to change someone’s life for the better, through sharing your time, experience, good humour and mutual interest, in your village, town or the surrounding area, then please get in touch with us! The most popular activity is a simple coffee and chat, but, depending on what you wanted to offer, some people might like a short walk, a game or craft activity, a quick hand with something in the house or garden or even a short trip out in the car. You could visit someone by yourself, or, if you would rather, you are welcome to enrol with a friend and do your visits together.

‘Volunteers do not replace the care of NHS or Social Services staff, nor the support of family members, ‘says Natalie Hickman one of the

volunteer co-ordinators for the scheme, ‘but they bring something very special. They choose to give their time and talents, and that is deeply appreciated by those they visit’.

Potential volunteers firstly meet with Voluntary Norfolk co-ordinators to discuss their interests, and, following a DBS check, completion of the application and induction process, are then carefully matched with a suitable person to visit. Training and support is available, but volunteers are not expected to deliver any personal or medical care nor incur any costs.

Visiting arrangements can formally last up to 18 months, but many long-term friendships have developed as a result.

Why not get ready and make a start towards doing something different for 2018.

If you could help, or you would like to know more, please call 01263 519454 for North Norfolk service or 0755 170 4246 for South Norfolk service. Alternatively, you can email chloe.edwards@voluntarynorfolk.org.uk or drop in for a chat with recruitment assistant Chloe, at the office in Merchants’ Place, 16 Church Street, Cromer on Tuesdays or at St Clements House, 2-16 Colegate, Norwich, NR3 1BQ on Wednesdays or Fridays. You can register your interest via their website too.

Facial Rejuvenation Experts - Coltishall Cosmetic Clinic

There is no shortage of practitioners from a variety of backgrounds offering Dermal fillers and Botox injections. The trouble is that a majority of these practitioners do not understand how the face ages and/ or have a limited number of treatments to offer. Any specialist mechanic needs a properly resourced toolbox not just one or two tools. Same thing with facial rejuvenation. If your practitioner only has one or two tools, that is all they can offer you, whether or not it is best for you.

Someone with 30 years experience in general practice or nursing maybe an expert in asthma management or vaccination but it does not make them an expert in facial rejuvenation- although they may make such claims. So do check that your practitioner has experience in procedures they are offering you.

Concepts of beauty also change over time. So we need a balanced approach rather than too much of the wrong thing!

Let me give you some examples. In the 1970s when we did not have the modern treatments and technology all we had was facelift surgeries.

Surgeons devised extensive invasive techniques in order to produce the tightest and longest lasting results that they could. We all know the consequences, the results were too tight 'Wind Tunnel' look faces but they were not necessarily young or pleasing to look at.

Now such surgeries have fallen out of favour and we are in an era of over filling. What I call 'pillow faces'. Sadly it is not only the patients, but I see practitioners with such appearances. Looking filled has almost become the norm!

When Botox first came out it was the norm to see frozen expressionless faces.

Patients themselves are now moving away from too much Botox & requesting less of the stuff so they still have moment but look softer and well rested.

So what is our approach of facial rejuvenation at the Coltishall Clinic?

Our approach is to produce natural looking, pleasing and harmonious results. We recommend that you bring your old photo that you like to your consultation. We can see how your face has changed and try and reverse these changes.

What happens with facial ageing and how we can help?

1. Loss of skin quality, sun exposure and smoking related changes.

Solution- skincare and skin rejuvenation treatments. You need a machine or laser that is suitable for your unique concerns. We are one of the very few clinics in the country who have invested in the full range of specialised dermatological lasers. Some practitioners claim their laser can do everything but that simply is not true. Often a combinations of machines are required to produce best results. Dedicated Medical Lasers are advanced tools and much better than cheap devices that have become widely available to non-medical personnel since deregulation!

2. Hyper dynamic wrinkles or in simpler terms wrinkles caused by over use or overactivity of facial expression muscles.

Solution-judicious use of botulinum toxin injections.

3. Loss of volume - we lose bone, fat and muscle resulting in facial deflation and sagging of tissues. Solution-facial fillers to restore lost volume and surgery 12.00-2.30pm to reposition sagging tissues and remove excess skin.

Fillers have come a long way and today's fillers are natural, highly purified products which are extremely unlikely to produce allergic reactions or other problems. One caveat is to stay away from permanent fillers. The only permanent filler I use is your own fat to restore the facial volume.

North Walsham Times 530 November 4th 2017

Business as usual?

Miranda Marshall, Director, Hayes + Storr

Many people assume that if they became incapable of running their business, it would still be ‘business as usual’ and that others would simply step into their shoes and carry on. This is not so. For many small businesses or sole traders, it could be the end of the business.

Whether you are a business owner, director, partner or sole trader, safeguarding the future of your business with a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) makes good business-sense.

As a business owner, it is important to consider what might happen to your business if you were incapacitated by illness or injury. Who would take over the running of the business?

What would it mean for your employees’ financial future?

Unless you have appointed an attorney, essential business operations may not be possible. Access to your bank accounts may be denied, suppliers won’t get paid, contracts

could be lost, insurance premiums won’t be renewed and salaries could go unpaid. Without an attorney appointed to take care of the business, the disruption could be catastrophic.

It might not take long for the impact to be felt.

A business or commercial LPA tackles this; however, they are more complicated than an ordinary LPA. For example, it might be necessary to alter the company’s Articles of Association or amend the partnership agreement. They are different to ordinary LPAs that deal with your personal and financial affairs and represent a vital element in your business continuity planning.

Many partnerships and companies, under the Mental Health Discrimination Act 2012, cannot remove a director/partner if they lose mental capacity.

You will need to identify one or more suitable attorneys. They should be known to you, trustworthy and capable of doing the job, ideally familiar with the business.

You will need to talk it through with them The North Norfolk Astronomy Society (NNAS) is a friendly local group so they know the role based at Wiveton. We have two upcoming events we hope readers will that they are taking find interesting on. They may need to Two sites in North Norfolk (Kelling Heath Holiday Park and Wiveton take out their own Downs) have recently been designated Dark Sky Discovery Sites. These sites are selected on the basis of their lack of light pollution, and therefore the skies have breathtaking views of the stars and the Milky Way.

North Norfolk Astronomy Society News

To celebrate this event, readers are invited to Star Party at Wiveton Downs. Members of the NNAS will be on hand to guide visitors around the night sky, and there will be telescopes set up, with expert NNAS members on hand to point out sights of interest.

This event will be held on 25 November, or if the weather is bad on that night, the event will be held on the following night, 26 November.

The event will start at 7pm. If you are interested, please email events@nnas.org for further information and directions to the site.

Another event, Cley Calling, will take place on 7 December at Cley Marshes Visitor Centre. This is a Norfolk Wildlife Trust event to celebrate the Winter Sky Festival. Dinner will be provided and the NNAS will be on hand with telescopes and to give talks and answer questions. Booking is essential and will cost £10. For booking and further information, phone Cley visitors Centre on 01263 740008.

The National Trust marks 30 years since the Great Storm • The highest wind gusts of 122 mph were recorded in Norfolk

600,000 cubic metres of woodland wiped out in Norfolk and Suffolk. And six of the seven oak trees after which the town of Sevenoaks in Kent is named, were blown down.

• Blickling was directly in the path of the storm

• A staggering 265 trees were lost on the Blickling Estate in just one night.

The hard work then began A team of eight National Trust gardeners and contractors then had the difficult task of clearing up the damage. As they headed into winter and with heavy machinery to move the trees, it was a cold and muddy job that took two years to complete. With large areas closed off to visitors and a skeleton team of two left to maintain the herbaceous borders it was a challenging time.

• It took two years to recover and replant 365 trees, one for every day of the year.

• Today the conservation charity continues to care for Blickling’s woodland.

In the early hours of the morning on 16 October 1987, hurricane force winds devastated homes, woods and gardens in its path. The worst storm to hit the UK in 300 years, the highest wind gusts of 122mph were recorded at Gorleston in Norfolk.

For the National Trust at Blickling Estate, it meant the loss of hundreds of trees. Gardeners who witnessed the devastation first-hand found it hard to bear, as they awoke to a scene of devastation on an unprecedented scale.

A rude awakening For Stephen Hagon, who is now Assistant Head Gardener on the Blickling Estate, it would be a morning he would never forget.

“That morning I was woken by a phone call from the Head Gardener, rather than the sounds of my alarm clock. I’d remarkably slept through the storm that had battered on outside and mine was one of 250,000 homes in the region without power that morning. As you

can imagine, I got up and looked outside and couldn’t quite believe my eyes, as a piece of corrugated iron from next doors shed flew past the window!”

Scene of devastation Stephen, who has been a gardener at Blickling for 45 years, didn’t make it into Blickling until lunchtime that day and the scene that faced him was heart breaking.

The then Home Secretary, Douglas Hurd, called it the "worst, most widespread night of disaster” since the Blitz. Whilst most of England and Wales experienced wet and windy weather that night, it was southern and eastern parts of England that were the worst hit.

In total a staggering 265 trees were brought down on the Blickling Estate.

Stephen’s is a tale of loss “As we walked around the estate, it didn’t take long to grasp the scale of the damage and scene of devastation. It was heart breaking, for many of the old boys, they were almost in tears to see the woodland they’d cared for now destroyed.”

In total an estimated 15 million trees were lost around the country, with

Today, you can walk along the avenues of trees that now stand 50 feet tall and you’d be none the wiser that they were planted to replace the trees that were lost. Stephen knows of course.

As well as clearing up the fallen trees, re-seeding areas of grass, re-planting low lying vegetation and spring bulbs, the team went about re-planting the trees in the same positions that they had fallen, using the opportunity to fill in gaps where other trees had been lost over the years.

In total 365 trees were planted, one for each day of the year.

Nature remains a priority for the conservation charity and the National Trust continues to care for landscapes and manage them for people to enjoy too. Thirty years on, the determination of people and nature to not only survive but adapt and thrive after the storm endures.

He would like to thank all his customers for their support and many cups of tea over the years.

Sir William Paston Scholars 2017 receive their awards

The Trustees of the Paston College Foundation created a Scholarship Scheme over 10 years ago to mark Paston’s 400th birthday. The Scheme is based on the founder of the original School, Sir William Paston, and reflects educational interests.

This year, 25 scholarships worth £500 were awarded to students who had achieved extremely high standards in their summer GCSE exams. The successful Scholars had a special lunch to receive their scholarships.

At the lunch, Peter Stibbons, a Corporation Member and Chairman of Trustees of the Paston College Foundation, presented the Awards and gave the students an insight into the importance and legacy of Sir William Paston. Students use their scholarship in a number of different ways to support their learning and future career prospects. The majority of the Scholars are proposing to go on to university after their time at College.

This will continue to support a strong tradition at the College. This year, seven students went on to Oxbridge and over 65% moved on to university.

Kevin Grieve, Principal, said “It is really important to involve our students in the heritage and history of Paston.”

The Scholars this year are: Ben Mack Acle Academy Isabel Dernedde Acle Academy Heather Tharby Sheringham High School Maddie Simpson Acle Academy Luca Wedge-ClarkeAylsham High School Taryn Yarnell Stalham High School Chelsea Kerr Cromer Academy Emily Gibson Dereham Neatherd High School Clara Greenwood Acle Academy

Partial closures of woodland for planned management operations Works to maintain a healthy woodland at Bacton Woods, near North Walsham, will take place this autumn.

Felling and thinning operations will be carried out by woodland owners the Forestry Commission from late October or early November through until Christmas. These dates may alter for operational reasons, but the public will be kept informed of any changes.

Bacton Woods is owned by the Forestry Commission and managed by North Norfolk District Council. The 280 acre woodland is popular with dog walkers and off road cyclists.

Cllr Maggie Prior, North Norfolk District Council Cabinet Member for Leisure, said “Bacton Woods is enormously popular with a wide range of people and we work hard with the Forestry Commission to keep it in good condition.

“These temporary, partial closures will ensure the ongoing health of the woodland and we thank the public for bearing with us while these vital works are carried out.”

The work will be carried out in sections. Those sections will be cordoned off to the public while they are being worked on, allowing access to the majority of the site to be maintained at all times.

North Walsham Guitarist Turns Author

Ron Sayer, a well-known musician in East Anglia, has turned his creative hand to a different kind of entertainment recently.

Ron has written a science fiction novel titled ‘Beyond The Coat Cupboard’, an adventure story about a young girl called Dot who finds an alien beetle in her cupboard. It’s a story for all ages and will appeal to fans of sci-fi authors like Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett & Steve Cole.

Ron grew up in North Walsham, attended the local high school and sixth form and trained as a teacher. He then spent time teaching at both North

Walsham High School and Paston College. In 1996 he won Guitarist Magazine’s prestigious award ‘Guitarist Of The Year’.

He has played in bands since the age of eleven and toured Europe and the States, both with Oli Brown, whom he taught at Paston, and with his own band, Sayer & Joyce, featuring his wife Charlotte on vocals and keyboards. He has several albums out on iTunes and is releasing a new album early in 2018.

Ron Sayer

Ron has been a keen storyteller since he was very young, writing strange stories, usually about ghosts and aliens, but decided to start work on a full novel in 2016. Though Beyond The Coat Cupboard is just out, he is already writing a spin-off prequel set in the same universe called Hitch & The Skellington Mystery.

Your local charity for older people was pleased to welcome around 75 people from the community at our recent tea dance. This included the children from Woodfield School, customers of the Day Services and members of the wider public.

It was inspirational to see older and younger people mixing and dancing to music provided by local singer Gordon James. In fact, everybody enjoyed themselves so much that many asked if it could be a regular occurrence.

Animal Magic Dog Club

It has been a summer of fun-draising at Animal Magic Dog Club.

We’ve hosted dog shows and explorer walks in aid of Norfolk Strays, which allowed us to donate over £400 worth of food to fill the empty tummies of dogs less fortunate than our own.

Next came the hugely successful Macmillan Coffee Morning at Toll Barn Vets, where we made a donation on behalf of our members, and we still have the dogs’ Christmas party to come, the grand finale to our fundraising year.

Santa will be bringing a gift for each dog – naughty

16

or nice – and this year we’re pleased to be supporting DogLost who will be the beneficiaries of our party.

This voluntary led organisation is the first place to turn if the worst happens and you lose your dog.

Now that summer is over and autumn has arrived, we see the days shorten and must remind everyone how important it is to be seen. It’s vital that motorists can see you, so a high vis vest or jacket is essential. There’s a vast variety of flashing collars, tags and reflective items on the market for your dog too. Headlamps are a great method of providing light leaving your hands free for holding the lead.

With safety in mind we’ve provided ‘My Pet is

Home Alone’ emergency contact cards for our members this term, a purse sized card displaying the details of your emergency contact who can step in and care for your pet. Emergencies are unpredictable so it’s best to always be prepared to give you peace of mind.

And finally, wrap up warm, be seen, stay safe and most of all, enjoy your walks.

Animal Magic Dog Club based near North Walsham is a fun, family orientated club offering a wide range of training for puppies, junior and adult dogs. For more information on the club and classes available please call 01263 720730 or visit our web site www.animal-magix.co.uk

A TRUE HAPPY ENDING FOR RESCUED PONY OAKLEY

Rescued pony Oakley, who was so weak he collapsed upon arrival at Redwings Horse Sanctuary, has made a miraculous recovery to become the latest resident to benefit from the charity’s rehoming programme.

Seven-year-old 13hh Cob cross Oakley was given a very warm welcome when he arrived at his new loving home with Guardian Laura Elsegood, and new best friend and rider Leo this autumn.

The sight of the happy and healthy pony walking down the ramp of his horsebox into his new home is a stark contrast to that of the emaciated weanling Redwings’ team first led into the ambulance following his rescue in 2011.

Oakley’s owner had contacted the charity asking for urgent help after struggling to treat his pony’s severe worm infestation. Oakley was incredibly weak and unable to support his own body weight; he needed to be manually lifted by Redwings’ vet team day and night to

Hedgehog Haven

prevent his skin forming nasty sores.

Despite deep concerns that he wouldn’t pull through, determined Oakley gained 11st within six months and has since gone on to spend many happy years living at Redwings’ Aylsham Visitor Centre, north of Norwich, where his friendly nature and loveable character made him stand out as an excellent candidate for the rehoming programme.

Rachel Angell, Redwings’ Operations Manager who heads up the charity’s rehoming programme, said “I remember the day Oakley arrived; we were in tears at the sight of him.

His chances of pulling through were very slim but he amazed us all with his sheer determination to survive. Thinking back to how he was then and seeing him now in his new home makes me feel so proud.”

Oakley is among almost 500 Redwings horses living in Guardian homes with many going on to successfully enjoy all kinds of disciplines from showing to cross country. Oakley has

been rehomed as the perfect first-pony for his new young rider Leo, aged 11.

Leo’s mum Laura said “A friend of mine rehomed Redwings Thyme and she is an amazing little pony that Leo learnt to ride on, so we kept an eye on the Redwings website to rehome a pony ourselves.

When I saw Oakley I knew he would be the ideal first pony for Leo and friend for my ex-racehorse Star. Oakley has been settling in well and is building a loving friendship with Leo, it’s so lovely to watch! We have even taken Oakley on a charity ride where we all had a lovely time!”

For more information about the Redwings Guardianship Scheme, how to apply and details on the latest horses and ponies looking for a new Guardian home, visit www.redwings.org.uk/rehoming

This is a very busy time of year with lots of autumn juveniles coming in.

A hedgehog needs to weigh a minimum of 650grams to survive hibernation, so these small hogs do not have time before winter sets in to build up enough body fat.

Those coming in now will be kept warm and fed and released in early spring.

Please keep a look out for these small hogs - if you find one place it in a high sided box with some kind of bedding to keep it warm and then contact a carer for help. Speed is essential to give them a chance of surviving. Find Hedgehog Haven on facebook.

North Walsham and District Branch of Cats Protection

Last month I mentioned the several older kittens waiting for new families to come and claim them. I am happy to report that Bassett has now been gone to his new home, together with Rebec, a lovely little tabby girl. Theo and May have also been reserved and there are also people interested in the others so we hope they too will be leaving soon.

When looking to give a home to a new cat or kitten we see that many people have preconceived ideas about the colour of the cat they are looking for. Some are looking to replace a previous companion with one which looks the same, while others would rather go for something completely different. Looking after the cats in care, generally speaking, we believe colour is not important, but the character and temperament of the cat or kitten are. Sometimes preference for the sex of the cat may need to be considered depending on whether there are other cats already in the home or the person concerned has always loved either males or females.

When we put the kittens on the website we had numerous enquiries for Bassett, just because he was grey and white and a handsome lad. He was a very lucky kitten as, when he was found, he was not a well boy, and seeing him recover and develop his naughty little ways gave us pleasure, but the people seeing the photo would not have known this. Other kittens, equally delightful to care for, have been overlooked, although they are just as lovely in their individual ways. We have, however, recently re-homed Dwight’s two black littermates, Esmeralda and George, who were both chosen because, when their new families came to see the kittens, these two made sure they would not be overlooked.

When coming to see the cats and kittens please come with an open mind as often they will choose you.

Missing Cat

Mya (pictured) has been missing from Millfield Road in North Walsham since 29 September. I am hoping somebody has my cat and will return her to me. There is a cash reward for safe return.

She is unique. She has a grey beige body and a blue/grey face with stunning bright blue eyes. It is very unlike her to go missing as she is very close to her sibling. They have not ever been apart since they were born six years ago so the other is pining for her.

If you have any news, good or bad, please telephone Gemma on 07763 677019.

When we re-homed Mylee, the little mummy cat, I mentioned that she needed dental treatment to relieve the problems with her gums caused by the calici virus before she joined us. Unfortunately, the problem returned and she has now had all her teeth removed. She is due to go back to see David (her vet) and he is confident that she should now make a good recovery.

Although it seems a drastic action to take, it is the best option for her.

Since joining our household we have seen her character develop and now have a very loving and playful cat (she does enjoy playing with ping pong balls - the Bobby Charlton of the cat world).

If you are interested in receiving Alfie, a lovely slightly older cat, help to neuter your cat/kitten, very affectionate and loving please ring 07880 256948 it (to see if you are eligible for a voucher).

This number is for vouchers only and will not be able to help with any other enquiries. The number also applies for those wishing to take advantage of our special neutering campaign.

If you are looking for a cat or kitten (or have any other queries) please give Stephanie a call on 01692 535858. Alternatively, you can visit www.northwalsham.cats.org.uk/ for a description and photographs of the cats before giving us a call on the above number to find out where any particular cat is being fostered.

We are now on Facebook. You can find us under Cats Protection North Walsham.

Holt Hall Christmas Fair

Holt Hall Christmas Fair is on Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 November from 10am to 4pm each day.

Holt Hall is an impressive house set in 75 acres of parkland and woods just outside the village of Holt, Norfolk. A 15 foot Christmas tree and log fire will greet visitors in the entrance hall. There will be over 60 stalls showcasing an inspiring array of innovative and quality Christmas gifts ranging from local food and drink, clothing, crafts, paintings, children's books, Christmas wreaths, decorations, glassware, art, lampshades, prints, cushions, bunting, candles, pottery, make-up, skin care and bath products. Refreshments are available from outdoor stalls which includes a selection of delicious crepes, pizzas, cakes, sausage rolls, soup, hot and cold drinks. Unfortunately dogs, Folically Challenged except guide dogs are not Hair is something we endure allowed in Holt Hall It grows no matter what, grounds.

And then we have to waste our time Having cut off what we've got.

It grows in most unusual shapes Some straight, some bent, some curly, Women straighten out the curls Men don't – it makes them girly.

Why do men have facial hair It needs shaving every day, Razor blades and shaving foam What a price we have to pay.

Some men grow a little 'tash Underneath their nose, It tickles and can strain thick soup That's how the thinking goes.

Of course, my hair has long since gone It is a source of sorrow, Maybe it’s what is meant by saying 'Hair today- and gone tomorrow' Paul Scrivener

Winter

Most folk dread the onset of Winter, Those long, chilly nights and sharp frosts.

The northerly winds blow straight through you, Especially those cold, biting gusts!

The weather can be quite appalling, With rain, sleet and snow often seen.

I love the all the wintry conditions, Except when it gets too extreme!

I love walking the bleak empty beaches Few others will brave this stark scene.

But wrapped up in warm winter clothing, It’s so bracing - the air fresh and clean!

In cities, the streets empty early, As people rush back to their homes.

They only go out if they have to, No one wants to be chilled to their bones.

Then there’s the planning for Christmas, Decorations and lights for the trees.

Baubles and tinsel and presents to wrap The thrill mounting as we prepare these.

I admit there’s a real anticlimax, Once the celebrations are done.

The first months of the year can really drag by, But at least the nights aren’t so long!

I love sitting beside my warm, glowing fire On horrible nights when it's cold.

When snow covers the ground, I feel safe and sound And cocooned, as my life’s put on hold!

For those who can’t see any good points, And think Winter’s too hard to enjoy, They have only to look a few weeks ahead, When Spring will bring back warmth and joy!

Frances Wraight

Entry to this event is by ticket. Tickets are available from www.HoltHallChristmasFair.co.uk Tickets are available at hourly intervals throughout the day to avoid overcrowding of the Hall.

Ticket cost is £2.97 per person for adults and children (5 years & over).

Holt Hall, Kelling Road, Holt, Norfolk, Norfolk. The Sat Nav postcode is NR25 6RT

Please note -There will be no online card payment facility please bring sufficient cash for your needs

Action Replay Silence, silence. Heads bowed low.

Poppies, poppies. Row on row.

Scarlet petals, slender stem.

‘Remember them, remember them’.

Toll the bells from coast to coast, Muffle drums and sound the Post.

Accolades and honours due To the brave, the best, the few Who, tho’ unseen, now also stand

Comrades all, in no man’s land.

In Tommy’s boots and pilot’s fleece Those who gave their lives for peace Guarding earth and seas and skies Weep to witness Hope’s demise, Allowing heroes’ tears to flow Upon those poppies strewn below Where bombs explode and cities burn As humankind declines to learn.

Small businesses encouraged to bid for concession pitches across North Norfolk NNDC is expanding the number of opportunities that will be available in 2018

Start-up businesses and small traders are being given the chance to secure their own pitches across North Norfolk.

It follows a decision by North Norfolk District Council to increase the number of concession pitches across the area. It will increase consumer choice, benefit taxpayers and open up more opportunities for local businesses.

Cllr Judy Oliver, NNDC Portfolio Holder for Asset Commercialisation, said “Our concession locations have always been popular and many businesses have come back year after year because of the opportunities the sites provide. Following a review of our portfolio, we have now identified some further possible sites for concessions. This will provide opportunities for more local businesses and a wider choice of facilities for locals and visitors, as well as providing further revenue for the council and the district.”

Nathan and Adele Boon, who are existing concession-operators

The sites are in places such as busy car parks and seaside promenades and the concessions typically include hot-food and ice-cream vans, but NNDC is hoping to expand the offerings and will consider any business that wants to bid for a pitch.

North Norfolk District Council Leader Cllr Tom FitzPatrick said “Taking on a concession pitch can be a great way for start-up businesses to test the market and hone their skills before looking for bigger premises. The rents are more affordable than on fixed premises and running costs are lower.”

Two supporters of the concessions scheme are Nathan and Adele Boon, who signed a three-year deal last season on a pitch in Overstrand for their business, The Bucket List, which sells buckets of chips with homemade toppings.

Adele said “It had been an idea we had wanted to pursue for a while but we needed the location to be just right.

“The concession at Overstrand gave us a very well-kept position overlooking the beautiful North Norfolk coast. Having the site has given us a fantastic concept and created the ability to grow our business fast.

We promote the area and use it at the forefront of advertising through social media, and it has certainly worked. We couldn't be happier with our pitch.”

North Norfolk’s concession businesses have traditionally operated between April and December but NNDC is looking to bring the 2018 start date forward to March, so that businesses can make the most of Easter.

To apply for a concession pitch, visit www.north-norfolk.gov.uk/concessions.

Applications must be submitted by early January.

Dorothy is off to perform panto in her happy place of Young actress Hana Stewart is ready to start It’s my happy place where I have enjoyed Sheringham her panto journey – not just to the Land of Oz lovely holidays. It should be the best Christmas but to Sheringham, which is her “happy place”.

For the 22 year old, who is playing Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, has holidayed a lot in the town, where family friends Chris and Dave Parmenter live.

Helping her on her journey down the Yellow Brick Road will be ‘good witch’ Glinda played

by Shane Armstrong, who has appeared in two previous Sheringham pantos, as Friar Tuck in Robin Hood and Ugly Sister Verruca in Cinderella.

Shane, who went to drama school with panto director Nick Earnshaw, switches between panto and serious acting in Shakespeare, Chekov and Ibsen – but says he loves the variety of doing both.

They are supporters of, and volunteers at, the Little Theatre and mentioned Hana’s recent graduation from drama school to theatre director Debbie Thompson, who auditioned the young singer and actress for the lead panto part.

“Whatever the format, the audience has to believe in the characters you are playing – but I love the outlandish colour of panto,” he added.

The pair are joined by North Walsham actor Harry Williams as the Scarecrow, panto regular Rik Warren as the Lion, Kyle Fraser as the Tin Man, and theatre favourite Loraine Metcalfe as the Wicked Witch of the West – along with local youngsters playing Munchkins and villagers.

Debbie said “She looks just like Dorothy and she is a superb performer so she is just perfect for the role.”

Hana, from Essex, inherited her love of drama from mum Nadia who was involved with local ‘am dram’ groups as a serious actress.

“As a child I used to help her with her lines – and the family released I had a knack of learning scripts”.

Hana went on to play Maid Marion in a Year Six school show, which also helped her gain confidence after suffering bullying, she explained.

She has qualified from the Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts in London and has played lead roles in musicals set in the 1940s and modern day austerity Britain “I cannot wait to do panto in Sheringham.

There will be a special open day on 10 December which will be open to the public. This will give an opportunity for anyone to go along and see the facility or try out some of the equipment for themselves.

We all know how stressful the firework season can be for our pets so For more information or details about how to join, please here at Toll Barn Vets we have a few helpful tips to help keep pets as visit www.north-walsham-gymnastics-club.co.uk for more calm as possible. Animals have very sensitive hearing and loud bangs information or contact the Club directly at can be painful whilst the flashing lights can be scary. Always keep dogs admin@north-walsham-gymnastics-club.co.uk and cats indoors during fireworks and make sure dogs are walked earlier in the day to avoid being out when fireworks are let off. Many pets go missing at this time of year when they get scared by fireworks so make sure all pets are easily identified with a collar and tag or microchip (with ,QWR 2XWGRRU 6SRUWV " up to date contact details) so that they can be reunited with you if they get scared and manage to run off. +RZ DERXW D JLIW YRXFKHU WKDW Amy Mann

Firework Fears!

6

*52:

It can help to build your pet a safe den and keep windows, doors and curtains closed to minimise noise as much as possible. Some pets will find it comforting to have an alternative noise so keeping the radio or television on can help to reduce awareness of the sound of fireworks.

Pets will often look to you for reassurance during stressful situations so try to act as normally as possible and make sure not to tell pets off if they are behaving in a stressed manner during fireworks. It is also important to reward calm and relaxed behaviour with cuddles and treats!

There are also several medicines and techniques which can be used to reduce anxiety around firework season. Pheromone-based and natural calming products come in several varieties including plug-in diffusers, tablets, liquids, collars and sprays. These products can help pets feel more relaxed and calm within the environment and should ideally be started at least 48 hours (preferably longer) before fireworks are due to start. Noise phobia CDs are also available and are designed to gradually reduce sensitivity to loud sounds over a long period of time in the run up to Firework Night.

It’s also important to remember small mammals such as rabbits and guinea pigs as well as birds during this stressful season. These pets can also get easily scared and if possible these pets should be moved into a quiet room or shed. If this is not possible cages should be covered to reduce the sound of the fireworks and turned to face a wall so the firework lights are less visible. It is essential to ensure enough ventilation still remains underneath the cover. Make sure pets have enough bedding to burrow and hide in should they feel stressed.

As November creeps up its time to start thinking about Firework season and what we can do to help our pets. We offer FREE OF CHARGE firework advice for our clients as well as stocking a variety of calming products. Pop in or call us on 01692 407126 for advice from our friendly team.
