North Walsham Vikings

Rugby in June is a strange notion but that is what we have this year with the Vikings playing Cambridge University on successive Saturdays, the first ever fixtures between the sides.

These matches are part of the University’s preparation for the Varsity match versus Oxford normally played annually at Twickenham in December, but transferred for 2020 -21 to Leicester on 4 July.

Spectators are welcome at both games: 12 June at Scottow Park, then the historic Grange Road ground Matt Hodgson & Jake Duffield Cambridge a week later.

Attention will then turn to the 2021 -22 season with the Vikings, following promotion in 2019 -20, playing in London & South East Premier, one of four fifth tier Leagues nationally.

Vikings

The fixtures have been announced and, whilst it is impossible to know who will be the stronger sides, their first two fixtures do look tough. First up they visit Maidenhead on 4 September, the Thames Valley side having transferred across from the arguably stronger South West Premier after finishing third in 2019 -20. The following Saturday Hertford come to Scottow Park: they were fourth last time out and have subsequently recruited heavily. The Vikings’ longest trips of the season are both in October: Havant on the 2nd and Brighton on the 23rd.

Two Vikings players, Jake Duffield and Matt Hodgson, participated in the recent Jurassic Coast Run, both raising money for mental health charities. Matt finished third in the 100km run in12 hours and 35 minutes. When considering their achievements remember this wasn’t in flat Norfolk!

Think Before you Dip

We are at the time of year when people are lured to the water; be it in the sea, a pool, afloat and recklessly, secluded ponds and rivers. Unfortunately, it is inevitable that there will be at least one tragedy this summer in Norfolk and there need not be. Mental attitudes such as “It will never happen to me or any of my children” and “Water Safety, I don't know what all the fuss is about,” leads people into a false sense of security.

There is a solution to this problem and that is water safety education in schools and in the home. Talking about the home, pause and think of the places where you or your children can drown in the home? This proves that water safety does actually begin in the home.

■ Life jackets and buoyancy aids are paramount for all when afloat. Even if you

have swum the channel, you can still drown if you slip in or your boat should capsize because other factors can claim your life such as unseen currents, the freezing cold water (even on a hot day) banging your head as you fall – the list is endless. With a life jacket or buoyancy aid you stand an excellent chance of survival. Another problem on our water ways has been drinking and drowning. If only individuals - who went back to their boat and paid particular attention to the effect alcohol can have on them slipping into the in the water - they may still be alive to-day.

Yes “If only.” how many times has that been said when there is a report published of a drowning tragedy?

■ when on the beach, swim between the lifeguard flags and parallel to the shore.

■ supervise children all the times.

It only takes an average of three minutes for someone to drown. Children who paddle alone can slip over and it only needs a small volume of water to drown in.

■ obey all flags and notices.

A red flag means absolutely no swimming - no matter how tranquil and appetising the water looks.

■ Keep out of rivers and ponds. They are very dangerous and

unhealthy.

If you adhere to a proper mind set this summer, you are no doubt in for a very enjoyable safe time both in and on the water.

A Note from the editor

New name, same Foodbank

Cromer and District Foodbank was set up in 2012 to meet the needs of people in crisis around the Cromer area. Since that time the area covered and the network of distribution centres has increased and now we cover approximately 200 square miles of North Norfolk through our distribution centres at Cromer, Sheringham, North Walsham, Holt, Aylsham and Stalham, plus an outlet at Wells.

At last, the sun is shining, and we are going to get a summer. Judging by the numbers of visitors about we are set for a busy one at that.

It is good to see everything opening up and businesses doing a brisk trade. The general mood is optimistic with the vaccine programme progressing, but we still need to be careful and keep to the rules a little longer. Local infection rates are very low but likely to rise, at least a little, as we welcome visitors from other regions on holiday.

With Summer comes the increased use of our beaches and enjoying the sea. This is predicted to be a very busy year for the RNLI, so keep to the advice on keeping safe in the water and if you see anyone in difficulties alert the lifeguards or call the coastguard by dialing 999.

Whatever you are up to in the sunshine, enjoy your June magazine.

We have been considering changing our name to reflect the increased scope of our operation and now it has been decided to action this.

So, we are delighted to announce that from the end of June we will be known as North Norfolk Foodbank. There will be nothing different in the way we operate, we will continue to meet the needs of people in crisis across the district, but we hope the new name gives a better representation of who we are and enables us to reach more people in need.

During the last financial year, we saw the number of food vouchers fulfilled up by 27% to 2081, the number of people fed up by 42% and the number of children fed up by 68%. We coped with this extra demand through the generosity of our food donors as our donations were up 50% to 66,659kg. Not only that, but we received a significant increase in financial donations, which enabled us to provide extra items of need and top up stock levels where they were running low. We also have continued our Energybank scheme to support those needing help to pay their energy bills, through the generous support of donors and grant funding.

Keep safe and well.

Jo - Editor

Here are the deadline dates and publishing dates for the next 3 magazines.

Marial Status and Later Life Decisions

by Emma Langley, Solicitor, Hayes + Storr

The coronavirus pandemic has seen many marriage and civil partnership ceremonies postponed. A survey by the wedding planning website Hitched found that 71 per cent of couples had postponed their weddings rather than proceed with just a handful of guests.

Despite the range of options available nowadays, many couples prefer not to formalise their relationships. Therefore, if you are unmarried, it is important to plan for circumstances which may occur later in life.

Couples who are cohabiting (or those in committed relationships but not living together) may find themselves in a situation where medical and financial decisions are made on their partner’s behalf without their involvement.

A lasting power of attorney (LPA) sets out who you want to make financial or healthcare decisions for you, should you lose mental capacity. Loss of mental capacity can be due to illness, accident, or a serious injury. Sadly, it can impact families at all stages in life and is not just an issue that effects the elderly.

Later life, financial management and mental capacity

Regardless of marital status, no one can access your sole financial accounts unless you have granted authority to them under a financial lasting power of attorney.

Despite making a power of attorney being advisable, many people do not put one in place and relatives find themselves caring for a loved one who has lost mental capacity without having any authority to deal with that person’s finances.

When this happens, an application to the Court of Protection to be appointed as the person’s deputy could be necessary. If you are paying for someone’s additional care, bills, groceries, or maintaining the upkeep of their property, in the absence of a power of attorney, an application to the Court of Protection is often the only way to obtain authority to access their funds. It is expensive and time consuming, a lasting power of attorney being quicker and cheaper.

Before making a deputy appointment, the court will require sufficient evidence that you are the most appropriate person. For cohabiting couples, this can be trickier to establish than for those who are in a legally recognised union. Therefore, it is even more important for someone who is cohabiting to take steps to protect themselves in the event

of lost capacity by making a lasting power of attorney while they are able to do so.

next of kin and health decisions Married couples and civil partners are afforded recognition as next of kin for medical purposes. Even so, this does not give absolute authority and a separate health and welfare lasting power of attorney enables you to make your express wishes clear.

You may also want other family members involved in these decisions.

Unmarried couples are not automatically considered next of kin and can find themselves in a situation where medical decisions are made on their partner’s behalf without their consent. It is even more important therefore to have a health lasting power of attorney in place.

North Norfolk Photographic Society

North Norfolk Photographic Society held a third club competition which again – due to the impossibility of holding live meetings, was via Zoom.

That technology actually suits a camera club very well; judges and members do not have to travel great distances, and everybody gets a good look at the pictures – not always easy from the back of a hall!

The judge on this occasion was David Steel, who did not have to travel to Holt from Cambridge where he is based. He had 72 photographs entered into the contest by members and gave a fair and honest comment on every one of them.

Over 190 offences detected during operation targeting HGVs

Police in Norfolk stopped over 120 vehicles and detected over 190 offences, after targeting drivers of Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) as part of an operation supported by Highways England.

Operation Tramline saw police provided with an HGV tractor unit by Highways England, which allowed officers to carry out patrols across the strategic road network in Norfolk and focus on offences committed by lorry drivers.

The initiative took place last week, between Tuesday 4 May and 6 May and involved officers from the Joint Norfolk and Suffolk Roads and Armed Policing Team, with enforcement taking place on the A47 and A11.

The HGV tractor unit, which was driven by a police officer, provides an ideal vantage point meaning officers can look into cabs of other lorry drivers or looking down at cars or vans. Supporting officers would then be on hand to stop any offenders.

A total of 125 vehicles were stopped, including 43 HGVs and 63 LGVs.

191 offences were detected and the drivers in question were issued with Traffic Offence Reports (TORs), some having committed

more than one offence.

a total of 191 tors were issued, made up of the following offences: • 36 for not wearing a seatbelt • 72 for construction and use • 14 for using a mobile phone • 36 for an insecure load • 12 weight offences • 4 for no insurance or no licence • 10 for number plate offences • 2 for driving without due care and attention • 5 for excess speed

Inspector Simon Jones in the Joint Roads and Armed Policing Team said: "The use of this HGV tractor unit over the three days has given us an ideal vantage point to spot a number of offences. These results show that enforcement days like these are thoroughly needed.

"This operation shows we will use any tools available to us to monitor and where necessary prosecute all manner of traffic offences and these operations will occur again and again.

"Our teams have stopped 125 vehicles and reported drivers for over 190 offences, with 2 vehicles being seized. Whilst it is pleasing

to see so many vehicles being stopped and checked, it is equally disappointing to see so many offences committed over a relatively short period of time.”

Anthony Thorpe, Highways England Incident Prevention Project Manager said: "The HGV cab project, which is funded by Highways England, patrols motorways and major A roads with the aim of improving road safety. It provides an ideal viewing platform for police officers to identify dangerous driving behaviour that can be difficult to spot from standard police patrol vehicles – for example texting while driving.

"Highways England is committed to working collaboratively with our partners to improve road safety and we will continue to use the HGV cab to tackle deaths and serious injuries and to encourage people to improve how they drive.”

CHESS PROBLEMS by Dr Cedric Lytton

RAF Air Defence Radar Museum Open

One of Norfolk’s best-loved museums is now open to the public from 18th May for the first time since October 2019. The RAF Air Defence Radar Museum at Neatishead has been closed since the end of the 2019 season due to the Covid pandemic. Museum Manager Lynn Kerslake said “We could not wait to welcome our visitors again after such a long time. We will be open 5 days a week this year – Tuesday to Saturday, and each bank holiday Monday and we are ready with the appropriate social distancing and hygiene measures in place.”

The Museum relies on a loyal band of volunteers most of whom are of retirement age and many were shielding last year. However, some of the teams have been busy behind the scenes between lockdowns and thanks to their work the radar Museum will be offering some new and improved displays, a slightly larger outside picnic area and improved facilities.

Protecting your dog against Ticks this year

East Anglia is a beautiful area, however, it is also an area classified as “high risk” for ticks. Ticks are most active between mid-March and October, however, with changes in the climate they are becoming active for longer. The most frequently seen tick is the sheep tick although the hedgehog and fox ticks may also make an appearance.

All of these species of tick will feed on dogs, cats and humans.

Ticks are unable to jump or fly and travel by climbing on vegetation such as long grass and then waiting for a suitable host to pass by. They attach to this host using their hooked front legs. Following attachment, ticks will spend time choosing a suitable feeding site before attaching to feed via their mouth parts. As ticks take time to attach the act of brushing pets following a walk can reduce the number of ticks actually attaching. Tick bites are usually painless and attaching ticks are often as small as 1.5mm and will increase to the size of a pea after feeding. Not all ticks carry disease, but for infected ticks the action of attaching allows them to transmit diseases such as lymes disease, babesiosis, anaplasmosis and rickettsiosis to the host. The risk of infection transmission increases the longer the tick is attached to the host.

How can we protect our pets?

In order to reduce the spread of tick borne disease we recommend regular tick prevention treatments. These come in the form of tablets, collars and spot-on preparations and will usually kill ticks within 12-24 hours of attachment and last for between 4 and 12 weeks depending on the product chosen.

Many of the most effective treatments can only be prescribed by a veterinary surgeon and so we would advise contacting your vet to discuss the most suitable treatment for your pet.

At Toll Barn Vets, North Walsham, we understand that choosing the correct flea and tick protection for your pet is a minefield and so offer our clients free of

charge parasite protection consultations with our qualified veterinary nurses to enable us to formulate the perfect parasite prevention program for your pet.

Ticks found on your pet should be removed as soon as possible using a tick remover to ensure that the mouth parts do not remain within the skin once the body of the tick is removed. At Toll Barn Vets tick removal is one of our free of charge procedures for our clients to help keep your pets in tip top condition.

the tick tick List!

• Ensure pets are treated regularly with an effective tick treatment as per manufacturers guidelines • Brush or wash pets after walks to remove unattached ticks • Check pets thoroughly daily and contact your vet if any attached ticks are found • Remove any attached ticks as soon as possible after finding them

Don’t forget, we are here to help so if you are battling with keeping your pet tick free this year please give the Toll Barn Vets team a call on 01692 407126.

Tu l i p t r e e F a b r i c s & B o b b i n s Te a R o o m

Big smiles as Little Theatre reopens easing on Monday May 17.

Cuppas, snacks, shows and movies were on the menu as sheringham Little theatre reopened its doors for the latest lockdown

The Hub café bar welcomed regulars and new faces as the community arts venue emerged from months without income from either its auditorium or popular watering hole.

Debbie Thompson welcoming people back into Sheringham Little Theatre Credit Richard Batson / SLT

Director Debbie Thomson said: “We are delighted open again – and doing what we are supposed to do, providing entertainment and a warm welcome for everyone.”

Shows begin on May 19 with a sold-out People’s Cabaret event in partnership with the Norfolk and Norwich Festival, followed by the classic comedy of Joyce Grenfell on May 22-23, and a trio of movies in tribute to Little Theatre film fan Julian High (Out of Africa on May 25, West Side Story on May 27 and Carousel on May 30).

Seating capacity in the auditorium is limited to 30pc of the usual 160, and the Hub café car is at half capacity with 30 seats, but Mrs Thompson said it was great to be back in action – with visitor safety at the forefront - and with ongoing work to improve the building exterior and extra ventilation under way.

Café regulars Clive and Caryl Taylor from Tuttington said they were glad to be revisiting one of their favourite haunts, where they enjoy the friendly atmosphere and the range of productions including summer drama.

The Best 7 Herbs for Containers - June 2021

This is the time of year to really start thinking about growing some new fresh herbs for the kitchen, outdoor cooking or for drinks.

There are many benefits to growing herbs in containers, especially now new potatoes are on the market, and it will not be long before we are digging them, I do like mint in mine!

So it’s all about access and to have mint by your doorstep is a very good way of having them easily accessible, easy to keep them watered and if they are in a small container then those that grow aggressively can be restricted, such as mint that tends to take over. You can also choose your fa-vourite herbs as well and keep them near and handy. I have chosen my top seven herbs that can be grown in containers they are: - Basil, Greek Oregano, Rosemary, Thyme, Mint, Parsley and Lemon balm.

However, you do not need to stick to this list, just add your favourites.

Depending on the setting the container can be a large pot, wooden box, terracotta herb planter, tin, fabric container or anything else that will hold soil and plants providing it has drainage, this is most important. It also needs to be clean so a good wash will get rid of any unwanted diseases. The soil needs to be a combination of loam and multipurpose compost, something that will not dry out too quickly and has some body for the plants

to feed on. When it comes to feeding the herbs, this should be done occasionally with a seaweed feed or liquid feed such as tomato feed watered in.

The majority of the herbs that have been chosen love the sun, so a warm sunny position will pro-vide the best location for your container. Some of the herbs will need more water than others so bear in mind the Mediterranean climate, so don’t over water.

To prevent the herbs going to seed or growing too big then harvest regularly. You can always have a bunch of herbs drying in the kitchen, as well as fresh outside.

So, lets talk about the herbs, I have selected: basil is very easy to grow from seed or buy locally, it will thrive in a warm atmosphere loves a well-drained soil in a sunny position. It is very sweet smelling; it also needs cutting regularly and if you see the flowers start to appear then cut them off.

Greek oregano is a very vigorous grower and putting it in a container it will thrive. It has silvery small leaves, these are packed with flavour, perfect for topping homemade pizza and bruschetta, as well as adding to vinaigrettes and marinades.

rosemary can come as an upright plant or prostrate (laying down) which would be perfect for flowing over the edges of the container. It is a woody plant and once you have one you can easily propagate more plants from the side shoots. This plant does not like being over watered. So be sparing with the water and it will flourish. The needle

like leaves are perfect for roast potatoes, lamb etc and provide a beautiful aromatic flavour.

thyme is one of the best herbs for container gardening; it’s low maintenance, droughttolerant, and can take a bit of neglect. It looks fantastic when planted at the front of a container where the tiny leaves can mound over the edge of the pot. Give it full sun and don’t overwater; it’s drought-resistant and prefers its soil on the dry side. There are many different thymes each with their own distinct colouring and smell.

Mint is a very aggressive plant and will take over if allowed. I would plant it in a 4 inch pot and sink this in the container with the other herbs, this will stop it overwhelming the other plants. Mint likes a rich soil and keep it moist.

You can use it for cooking, drinks and in fruit dishes. There are many different flavours when it comes to mint from chocolate to orange and so on.

Parsley comes as either flat leafed or curly and loves the sun and a moist growing condition.

It can take some shade as well. Keep cutting it and it will thrive through the season. It will benefit from a feed as well.

Lemon balm also shares the aggressive growth habit of mint, which can quickly take over small garden spaces, because of this, I plant lemon balm in containers. It’s a hardy perennial even over-wintering in pots. Give it the same soil mixture (potting soil-compost) as mint, and water often. It needs ample moisture for the best flavour and what flavour! The glossy green leaves both smell and taste like lemons. It’s great in fruit salads, tea, lemonade, and marinades.

Police Launch Summer Initiative to Protect Norfolk's Wildlife Habitats

Visitors to Norfolk's coast this summer are being encouraged to act responsibly around wildlife.

natural habitats and breeding grounds for many native and migratory animals, including several species on the endangered list. We humans share this space, and we can easily and unwittingly cause disturbance, fear and distress.

Norfolk Constabulary has signed up to the national initiative Operation Seabird to raise awareness of the importance of protecting and preserving our rich wildlife habitats and tackling disturbance to seals, sea birds and nesting birds.

"For many tourists it can be surprising and exciting to see marine mammals, including seals & their pups which will normally rest on the beach at various times of year, as well as ground nesting birds which are usually resident between March to September. As tempting as it is to approach them, we would respectfully ask that all people are careful to:

Officers will be out and about meeting visitors in specific locations across the county – including the beach on the Holkham estate, the Holme Dunes, Snettisham Beach to Heacham south beach, Winterton and Horsey beaches and Blakeney Point – between the beginning of June and the end of August.

PC Chris Shelley, Norfolk Constabulary's Rural Crime Officer, said: "We always work closely with conservation charities, local councils and other key partners right along Norfolk's coastline to identify areas of concern.

Previous incidents along our coastline have included dogs off leads disturbing nesting birds or seals, wild campers lighting fires on the beach dunes and causing significant damage to the fauna, quad bikes or 4x4 vehicles riding over nesting areas and canoeists getting too close to seals RSPCA Insp Becky Harper said: "This year we are expecting an upsurge in people, who would normally go abroad for holidays, doing UK based staycations.

"It should be remembered that our beautiful beach & coastal areas, which are fun for us to play in, are

Anyone who witnesses the deliberate and intentional disturbance of wildlife, and their habitats is encouraged to contact Norfolk Police on 101 quoting Operation Seabird.

Operation Seabird was launched in 2020 by North Yorkshire and Humberside Police along with the RSPCA and is supported by local authorities, RNLI and wildlife trusts.

"We're proud to be taking part in Operation Seabird this year and our focus will be on protecting our vulnerable ground nesting sea birds, the Little Terms and Ringer Plover, ensuring the seals on our beaches are not disturbed and educating and encouraging visitors to be responsible and consider how their actions may affect our wildlife.

"We all have a duty to act responsibly and take extra care when we're out and about. While the focus of Operation Seabird is to engage, explain and educate visitors, we will act against anybody who wilfully and intentionally damages and disrupts our wildlife and their habitats.”

North Walsham and District Branch of Cats Protection

As we have mentioned before, our branch is run entirely by volunteers.

Sometimes, when people ring, they do not realise that they are probably speaking to Stephanie in her kitchen and that we do not have people sitting in an office waiting to respond to telephone calls. If she is busy elsewhere the person can leave a message on the answer phone. Bearing this in mind it may be some time before she can respond, so please be patient if you are expecting a call back. It also pays to check she has not called as often people will call again not having noticed that she has already responded to their original message. Calls received late at night and early in the morning will go straight to answer phone and not be answered, (for example the recent calls received at 5.15am and 9.45pm).

When Stephanie receives calls for cats and kittens to come into care, especially if the situation appears to be urgent, she will do her best to try and arrange for the cats/kittens to come in. This may involve contacting more than one of our fosterers to see if we can accommodate the cats.

This has to be done within Cats’ Protection guidelines and may mean asking Lesley if she can spare another pen to either take a cat already in care or the cat/kittens which need urgent help. Occasionally, having made various calls, when she contacts the person making the request, she finds they no longer need our help. Two recent instances, when she spent a considerable amount of time try to fit cats in, spring to mind.

The first was a request to take a kitten from an industrial site. After making several calls to arrange for the kitten to come in, when ringing to advise we could take it in, she was informed that the person had found it a home. The second instance concerned a gentleman whose cat had kittens and, as they had several cats, they could not cope with anymore.

Again, several calls were made, and Lesley had agreed to take the kittens. On calling to give the good news she was advised that the gentleman would have to discuss it with his wife and would call back the next day. Needless to say, we did not hear from him again and many

calls and much time was therefore wasted.

If you do contact us to take cats or kittens into care and the situation changes, please let us know as soon as possible to avoid wasting Stephanie’s precious time.

If you are interested in receiving help to neuter your cat/kitten, please ring 07880 256948 (to see if you are eligible for a voucher). This number is for vouchers Lillie, now rehomed. 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. Please be aware that if you are interested in giving one of our cats a home you need to contact by phone rather than by the contact form on our website www.northwalsham.cats.org.uk where a description and photograph of the cats can be seen. Stephanie does not use a computer for her cat work so there is a delay in responding to enquiries this way and she deals with enquiries on a first come first serve policy.

We are now on Facebook. You can find us under Cats Protection North Walsham. Please note our Facebook details will be changing shortly andwe will advise you here when this happens. we will advise you here.

Awaiting Government Guidelines for Re-Opening Registered Charity No. 1097115

It’s hard to believe that it will be nearly 6 months into 2021 before we can even start to consider re-opening the Age Concern (North Norfolk) Day Centre in Cremer Street, Sheringham. I’m sure many of our regular Clients are waiting with anticipation for the Government’s announcements on June 21st, as are we, so that we can ensure we have all the required actions in place to re-open safely and welcome you all back just as soon as we can.

We have kept in touch with many of our regular Clients by telephone, through Befriending calls for a chat and also to do some shopping and home assistance where necessary. Anyone is welcome to call if ever

you need some help. If we can’t provide it, we will be sure to point you in the right direction. Many of our regular Clients have been receiving our ‘Meals on Heels’ lunches and numbers have increased so hopefully, when we do re-open some of those new customers, will join us in person, at the Day Centre. But, for all of you, I am sure you are as eager as we are to see you seated around a table again with friends, enjoying a hot meal and dessert, a cup of tea and a good old catch-up.

On your return you will see some new faces waiting to meet, greet and get to know you, including our new Day Centre manager, Anneliese Maerz who joined us recently and

who has lots of interesting ideas for events and activities she hopes you will enjoy.

So, although we still have to be patient for a little longer, I’m sure we can all see a brighter situation ahead, after what has been a very difficult time for us all and a very sad time for some. Keep positive, keep healthy and keep looking forward to meeting up again with staff and friends at the Day Centre.

New Clients are always welcome. Phone Alison on 01263 821188 for advice and information or pre-book a Trial Day for when we re-open.

How to restore a youthful jawline?

Coltishall Cosmetic Clinic is fully equipped to help you achieve a tighter jawline and neck.

Sagging jawline is a common concern for many men and women.

They do not want major surgery but are looking for some tightening and lifting to make their jawline more defined. Thanks to modern technology we are able to achieve this in a number of different ways.

We can achieve a very pleasing profile with our treatments.

what causes jawline sagging, appearance of jowls and loss of definition in this area?

A number of changes occur due to ageing, sun-damage, smoking and also genetics contributes to our looks in a major way. Did you know that changes are not only skin deep but even our bones lose volume with age? The jawbone also recedes resulting in loss of bony support and combined with loss of fat, muscle, skin thinning and gravity causes sagging in this area of face and neck.

How can you help me achieve a tighter jawline and neck?

Thanks to modern technology, our treatments, sun-protection and awareness; we find people are maintaining their youthful looks for longer. Our journey begins with a consultation and assessment to determine causes of your particular concern so that a customized treatment plan can be devised. We can usually offer you a choice.

Our treatment recommendation may include one or more of the following-

minutes to treat the whole face. Patients love this treatment because they are comfortable without pain medication or numbing creams.

Fractional Co2 laser resurfacing Fractional Skin Resurfacing is the only method, which creates new skin. This results in a decrease in sunspots, fine lines, wrinkles and acne scarring and a fresher, more youthful skin tone and texture.

The Fractional approach stimulates quick healing, while leaving your skin’s surface intact, with no lasting redness.

Volume restoration We can use dermal fillers or your own fat to re-create your jawline and chin. Chin and jawline are difficult to inject so you need an experienced doctor to do these and not someone who injects fillers ‘on the side’. We can inject fillers to contour the jawline, angle of the jaw and chin. Botulinum toxin injections remain popular for this area as in Nefertiti lift. As we age, we start to lose a little chin projection.

This can be restored using fillers.

More advanced options We do offer a variety of minimally invasive options such as laser facelift, one stitch facelift or full face and neck lifts under local anaesthesia so we can offer these if you have a significant amount of lose skin and feel surgery is your only option.

radiofrequency skin tightening This device can tighten the skin without any pain or discomfort and requires no preparation with numbing creams. It takes about 40-45

Give us a call on 01603 736487 or log on to the website www.coltishallclinic.co.uk to book your appointment and start your journey towards a tighter jawline and neck.

Letheringsett Mill Needs Help

Letheringsett Watermill is one of our local gems. One of only 24 water driven flour mills in the country, a rare one at that, as unlike other mills which are run as historical trusts or by local authorities, Letheringsett is one of only three independent mills.

Mentioned in the Doomsday Book as ‘Leringseta’ it has a very long and proud history. The present building was built in 1802 and produced flour until 1972 when it became an animal feed mill.

The Mill was leased in 1987 by Michael

Thurlow with a view to restoring it back to its former glory. Mike was not a miller by trade but researched the process of producing flour and, after much time, money and extensive restoration, production resumed and continues to this day.

Mike sadly passed away in 2013 and two years later his wife, Marion, also died, leaving their daughter Michelle to continue their work and develop the business. Michelle is passionate about continuing her parents’ legacy and keeping her flour production as local as possible. Grain is sourced within North Norfolk and her flour is supplied to local bakeries and shops. The Mill now produces 15 different flours including spelt flour, an ancient grain introduced to this country by the Romans.

Keeping the Mill in good order to enable production to continue is a full-time job, and no more so than at the present time. Major work is currently being carried out to repair the millstones, which gradually wear out with constant use. They have to be redressed about every two

years (a process where the grinding surfaces are reprofiled having worn down), and that is going on right now. There is only one contractor who can do this work, CD Howell & son, millers from Staffordshire. The stones are made from Derbyshire Gritstone and Dutch Emery Quartz, and the work is costing the Mill £2993, a sum that is hard to find in these difficult times.

This has led to Michelle setting up an appeal for funds to get this important work done.

COVID-19 Litigation Risks

As the UK is now gradually easing out of lockdown and (hopefully) with the end of the Covid-19 pandemic in sight, it is inevitable that the Government will now turn its focus towards clawing back the funds expended in the course of its various Support Schemes.

As part of this year's budget in March 2021, the Government announced that it will be deploying £100m in the creation of a new Taxpayer Protection Taskforce to investigate individuals and businesses who wrongfully claimed under the Government Support Schemes.

The taskforce will consist of approximately 1250 HMRC officials who will target those who have fraudulently claimed under the following schemes:

• Coronavirus Job retention scheme (otherwise known as the Furlough scheme); • self employed income support scheme; • bounce back Loan scheme; • Coronavirus business interruption Loan scheme; • Coronavirus Large business

interruption Loan scheme; and • eat out to Help out scheme.

As of March 2021, the taskforce had already made 10,000 enquiries into wrongful claims.

The taskforce are choosing which claims to investigate based on payment data, PAYE records and tip-offs from members of the public. It is anticipated that there will be more enquiries made by the taskforce.

If an individual or business has been found to have wrongfully claimed taxpayer funds during the pandemic, they may be liable to civil and/or criminal penalties. HMRC's investigations are not solely limited to fraudulent claims, they are also investigating individuals and businesses who have mistakenly claimed funds when they were not entitled to do so under the scheme's criteria. In some instances, individuals may not even be aware of assistance their employers claimed, either inadvertently or fraudulently.

It is therefore essential that all individuals and businesses that claimed taxpayer funds during the pandemic review their paperwork and records to ensure that they did so correctly and in accordance with the criteria in force at that time. If it transpires that a mistake was made, then it is essential to seek

independent legal advice at the earliest opportunity.

Our Litigation team provides specialist, tailored and commercially focused advice to suit your needs and objectives. We have considerable experience in advising on a wide variety of disputes including tax disputes and litigation.

Angela & Natasha’s bike ride in aid of Sing Your Heart Out (SYHO)

Two keen cyclists are setting out from Sheringham on Thursday 10th June to cover nearly 200 miles by bike in aid of charity. They are raising funds for Sing Your Heart Out (SYHO) by visiting each of the 5 venues around the county where the local SYHO groups hold their award winning singing workshops which promote mental wellbeing by singing together.

Angela Mason & Natasha Hood, who love to sing and are both involved personally in SYHO, enjoy cycling but admit the distance will be a challenge.

Angela said “I had the idea a few months ago & whilst telling Natasha about my plans she said she would like to join me. It will be great to have company and we’re hoping that singers from each group will come and cheer us at their venue”

After leaving Sheringham they will pedal to Norwich. The next day Great Yarmouth is their destination, followed by Attleborough then on Sunday 13th finishing in Kings Lynn.

After Kings Lynn they will complete the ride by cycling 45 miles to their Natasha Hood on the left, respective homes.

Angela Mason on right.

Photo: Kate Platt The pandemic has meant SYHO groups have not been able to sing Great together in person but a great way of solving this dilemma has been to sing together live on line.

STARTS WITH US

Strawberry Eton mess cake At The Grove, we are now fully open and firing on all cylinders.

We are welcoming guests to our new terrace for afternoon teas and both our a la carte restaurant and Sundown are going down a treat. So a big thank you to all our guests and diners, new and old for your continued support. Taking bookings on 01263 512412

Enjoy the Eton Mess, but don’t count the calories!

ingredients Sponge 300g self raising flour 300g sugar 300g butter 5 eggs 1 tsp vanilla extract

eton mess filling 200ml fresh whipping cream Small Punnet strawberries (half small diced and half for decoration) Handful of crushed meringue

together until all combined, then repeat with remaining flour (take time to not knock too much air out of the mix as this will help the cake rise in the oven). The mixture should be smooth and just drop off of a spatula or spoon, (if mix is too wet, add small amount of flour until correct consistency).

Line a 10” cake tin with butter and baking paper, spoon the mixture into the tin, gently smooth the top and bake in a 160c for 40 minutes or until middle is cooked when tested with a skewer or thin knife.

Once cooked through, let cool completely in the tin, gently remove from tin and slice evenly in half length ways and put to side.

For the Eton mess filling, whip the cream till it reached soft peaks, fold in the diced strawberries and meringue. Use this mixture to fill the cake to desired amount and top with other half of cake.

For icing, mix the icing sugar with enough milk to make a spreadable icing, mix with food colouring till desired colour is achieved.

Assemble cake with filling and cover with icing, decorate top with any spare berry mixture and remaining berries, slice and enjoy.

North Norfolk Macmillan Cancer Support Centre

The North Norfolk Macmillan Cancer Support Centre is well on the way to taking shape, but once it’s finished, and supporting thousands of local people living with cancer, it will be so much more than bricks and mortar.

Method Combine sugar, butter and vanilla in a bowl or stand mixer, beat till smooth and add eggs one at a time mixing well in between each additional egg (if mix splits, add a spoon of flour and mix well till smooth again). Sift half of the remaining flour into the mix and fold

We’re running a recruitment drive for volunteers, who will be at the heart of supporting this service. Volunteering could mean anything from welcoming patients and their carers at the door, to offering a listening ear, and ensuring we’re fully stocked with cancer information leaflets.

Find out more about what these roles might entail and apply by contacting Anita Martins, Matron at Cromer and District Hospital, Mill Rd, Cromer, NR27 0BU or telephone 01603 646234.

We want the local community to have a hand in shaping the support services and activities on offer. Let us know what you’d like to see offered in the Centre, by scanning the QR code or by using the link on your computer and filling in this short survey:

Book Provides History Lesson About Unique School

The turrets and towers of a north Norfolk village school make it a stunning landmark – and a new book charting its 200-year history shows just how special it is.

Antingham and Southrepps Primary was opened in 1826 by the local lord of the manor to educate the children of farmworkers on his estate, long before schools were a part of everyday community life.

It is the fifth oldest school in Norfolk still operating in its original building, and at one time had more than 300 pupils from the surrounding villages.

school’s history when serving as a governor from 2007-12.

Margaret said the inspiration for the book began with the imposing church-like building.

However, the real story she wanted to highlight was “not just flint and stone” but the social history behind it.

“The more I looked, the more interesting it became, and the more I realised that this school is of historical significance and that its story should be recorded,” she explained.

Research has taken 15 years on and off, with help from others including friend Sarah Westlake.

The book charts the evolution of the school from those philanthropic beginnings when founder Lord Suffield paid for the building and the headmaster’s salary, and fees were linked to estate farm worker’s wage.

It ends in 2014 when it became part of the North Norfolk Academy Trust.

Author Margaret Dowland

The early days were challenging, with poor families often needing the children to work rather than study. Absenteeism was dealt with by carrot and sticks. There was a medal for good attendance – and even a pocket watch for seven years unbroken schooling. But there were also Draconian measures, including fines and hard labour, for parents of children who were absent too often.

The snapshots of early life at the school are captured in A School Through Time, written by Margaret Dowland who lives a stone’s throw from the school in Lower Street.

The retired nurse became fascinated by the

The poignant pages reflect the tough lives of the earliest pupils and parents, and there are extracts from the punishment book for misdemeanours ranging from laziness and talking in class to setting fire to bushes on the common.

Some children’s absence excuses in poverty ridden rural families included lack of boots – needed for walking miles to school in all weathers.

A wartime chapter tells how pupils were taught in a barn for six weeks while soldiers were billeted there in the First World War, while in the Second, the school was swamped with evacuees from Dagenham which doubled the school role temporarily.

“Log books and minutes recorded a newly married teacher whose husband was killed in

the Great War – which was heart-breaking.

“But there are also funny entries, such as a 1946 delivery by the Ministry of Supply of light bulbs and shades to the school – which didn’t have electricity until 1951!”

A list of children, their parents and occupations is also a snapshot of village history from 1875 to 1911.

The book reflects the national changes in education as well as providing an insight into the people involved in the village institution, including a list of senior staff and anecdotes from pupils.

Margaret added: “I hope it tells people where the school came from, so they value it.”

Survey launched to seek views on community safety in Norfolk

Residents across Norfolk are being urged to have their say about community safety in the county.

The Norfolk County Community Safety Partnership (NCCSP) has today (Monday 24 May) launched an eight-week consultation to understand what residents believe will make Norfolk a safer place to live, work and visit.

The NCCSP develops a Community Safety Plan which sets out the priorities which partners will focus on. Having carried out an assessment of crime and community safety issues, the NCCSP has drafted a new threeyear plan which proposes seven priorities.

The partnership now wants to hear from Norfolk residents whether they feel the priorities correctly reflect the issues which matter most to them.

the proposed priorities are: • Serious violence • Domestic and sexual abuse • Preventing terrorism • Criminal exploitation, including modern slavery and county lines drug dealing • Neighbourhood crimes like robbery, burglary, anti-social behaviour, vehicle crime and other theft offences • Hate crime and community tensions • Fraud

The NCCSP brings together organisations from across Norfolk to tackle crime and disorder, and ensure the county remains a safe place for all.

The partnership is currently supported by the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Norfolk (OPCCN) and is chaired by the OPCCN Chief Executive Mark Stokes.

Urging residents to have their say, Mark Stokes, said: “It is vital we hear from as many people as possible to ensure the partnership’s priorities best reflect what matters most to Norfolk residents.

“We have developed an evidence-based plan that we believe will make Norfolk a safer place to live, work and visit but we need to hear your views

public and professionals aware of a variety of community safety issues in order to enable them to better protect themselves and others.

Once the priorities have been agreed, the partnership will use a variety of approaches to promote important community safety messages to both the people of Norfolk and professionals.

The consultation will run for eight weeks from 24 May 2021, closing on 16 July 2021.

For more information on the priorities and proposed outcomes and to take part in the survey visit www.norfolk-pcc.gov.uk/police-andcrime-plan/working-in-partnership/communitysafety/nccsp-strategic-plan-consultation/

This months article is about a lovely patient of ours who rather unfortunately got into a bit of bother on a local beach. Teddy is a 9 year old Parsons Jack Russell Terrier who belies his age and is incredibly fit and active. On the day in question he managed to find a broken piece of fishing line that unfortunately still had the hook and bait attached.

It was too tempting not to eat and he ended up with a rather large hook impaled in his mouth. His owner rushed him straight in where the hook was found to be embedded in the back of his tongue.

Although this wasn’t ideal it is infinitely better than if he had swallowed the hook completely.

Teddy was given a short sedation to enable us to remove the hook from his mouth. Fortunately, it 14:20 Page 1 made a swift had not damaged any major vessels or structures and he recovery.

PROVIDING FRIENDLY, EXPERIENCED &

Although there wasn’t much that could have been done differently in this situation, it is not uncommon for us to have to remove hooks from dogs mouths. So, for the dog owners out there be mindful of not letting your dogs get too close to fisherman you might meet on the river banks or sea shore and for the fisherman, try not to leave baited hooks anywhere that a dog might be able to pick them up!

On another note, as we move into summer, particularly after such a wet Spring, we are seeing more and more ticks. Norfolk is categorised as a high-risk area for Lyme disease, something that can affect both dogs and their owners. Finding and removing ticks before they attach to your pets is something of a lottery, so the best form of management is prevention using a tablet, spot on or collar. If you are not currently providing some form of tick cover for your pets it would be best to contact your local vets and seek further advice.

Wherry Maud Trust Launches Crowdfunding Campaign #money4maud

Norfolk Trading Wherry Maud, a vessel on the National Historic Fleet, is to benefit from a fundraising campaign to raise vital funds for a new support boat. It will enable Wherry Maud Trust to increase the number of Maud’s sailings and continue in their work to keep Broads history alive in these financially difficult times. With volunteers from across Norfolk clubbing together to help support the well-loved wherry, the campaign has already got off to a flying start, attracting £1150 in donations towards its £10,500 goal.

“We are all excited about this campaign. We are keen to show off our lovely historic wherry to more people,” says Linda Pargeter, Treasurer of Wherry Maud Trust. “With a new support boat, we will sail “Maud” more often and more people will have the opportunity to experience first-hand this wonderful part of Norfolk Broads living heritage.”

With her distinctive black sail, Wherry Maud is one of Norfolk’s best loved sights on the Norfolk Broads. The only remaining trading wherry of typical construction, she’s maintained by Wherry Maud Trust’s team of dedicated volunteers, who run trips throughout the year, keeping alive a significant part of the history and culture of the Norfolk and Suffolk Broads. With membership currently only £15 per year, all local members can experience the wonder of sailing on Maud and appreciate her living heritage, while other members can keep up to date via the Trust’s bi-annual newsletters.

Having an easy to maintain support boat with a more powerful engine will ensure that the Trust can run more trips and be less restricted by winds and tides. The extra trips will generate donations to make up income that was lost due to the 2020 pandemic.

The cost of the project is £10,500 and the Trust will make every pound count to keep Maud sailing for future generations.

History Maud started her working life in 1899 as one of a small fleet of trading wherries owned by a director of Jewson, timber merchants in Great Yarmouth. By 1965 she was redundant, sunk in Ranworth Broad to protect the riverbank from erosion. In 1981, Vincent and Linda Pargeter fell in love with her, restoring her over 18 years.

All donations via https://www.gofundme.com/f/Wherry-Maud/ will be much appreciated. As a special incentive for larger donors Wherry Maud Trust are offering the following:

Summer Soup

Soup may not be an obvious choice for the summer, but at our house we eat it all year round, simply because it is so easy to prep in advance, contains loads of goodness, and is super quick to grab and go. In the summer months, having a lovely soup recipe that celebrates the best of the season makes the most of what is available in the shops, and makes for a light and delicious supper when combined with good bread and maybe a hunk of cheese, but can be surprisingly filling for those with a hearty appetite. This recipe uses soya cream, which comes in a long-life carton and will keep happily in your cupboard for ages, is not expensive and has a variety of uses.

It also is virtually indistinguishable from dairy single cream in a recipe such as this, and suitable for vegans. If you don’t have any on the shelf, single cream works great. Jersey Royal potatoes, long stemmed broccoli and asparagus are simply delicious, but not the cheapest for a family, so this recipe allows everyone to enjoy them without breaking the bank! Make sure you use the tips AND stalks of the asparagus in the soup, just discarding the

tough ends by breaking them off; the same goes for the long-stemmed broccoli. This soup recipe is probably the best that I make, and certainly the most popular, eaten even by those who normally shun vegetables.

1 onion, finely chopped 1 large leek, finely chopped Small bag Jersey Royal potatoes (or a good handful) 3 carrots, finely diced 3 sticks celery, chopped into small chunks Bunch long stemmed broccoli, chopped Handful summer beans, chopped Mug of frozen peas, defrosted Bunch asparagus, chopped into small pieces Tin haricot beans Small handful wholewheat spaghetti, broken into small pieces ¾ Small carton soya cream Dried mint (or a handful of fresh finely chopped if you have some in the garden) Seasoning Tsp white miso paste, mixed with a little hot water

Viking Swimmers Swim the Channel

North Norfolk Viking Swimmers, Romilly Hammond, aged 13 Isaac Buchan 12 and his younger brother Noah,10 "swam the channel" in a relay tandem swim in Beeston Hall School pool, where all three attend: raising £1,469 so far for much needed club funds and the River's Trust.

The trio took the plunge as early as 7am and finished at 7-05pm covering the 22 miles distance channel swimmers have to complete between England and France. They were supported by fellow club members who also swam with them at various stages. Club Captain Katy Colman, Michael Sayer, Amiyah Hawes and Lead coach Sam Watts, who also did a stint in the pool. At the conclusion he said:

Pop all the veg except the asparagus and haricot beans and peas into a large saucepan with a good glug of olive oil, and gently sweat for 5 mins with the lid on over a medium heat.

Add boiling water and bring up to the boil, then simmer gently for about 15 mins until the veg is softening, and then add in the mint, asparagus, haricot, spaghetti and peas.

Simmer for 8 mins and add the miso and cream, stir and simmer very gently (do not allow to boil) for a further 3 mins and serve.

Keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
