The annual event at North Walsham War Memorial Hospital, which was built to remember the sacrifice of 99 men from the town and another 80 from surrounding villages, was scaled down to a handful of people due to lockdown restrictions.

Small but poignant Armistice Day service at North Walsham hospital

Continued from front cover...

But hospital Friends group chairman Keith Jarvis said: “We were pleased to hold the service in honour of the soldiers the hospital is a memorial too, as well as others who have given their lives serving their country. It was a small but poignant gathering but we hope to revert to a larger scale service next year.”

He joined North Walsham church ordinand Jo Haywood, Salvation Army bugler Ian Richardson, and two Royal British Legion representatives – deputy-chairman and standard bearer Bill McIvor and secretary Sheila Mitchell, for the short service.

Prayers included one for the foundation of the 24-bed hospital in memory of those who suffer through war, and for its current patients – who, following a recent temporary change of role for the unit - are all people recovering from Covid.

Just in time for Christmas

Yesterday’s Books The series of Yesterday’s books tells of life in a village near each of us in North Norfolk. Those fortunate to be friends of the books will know that they chronicle the story of John who in Yesterday’s Loves and Laughter lived with his sister Freda in a farm cottage. He worked with his friends George, Arthur and Charlie for Mr Whitlow on his small farm. In that book Freda marries Charlie and John is left on his own.

However, he met Ellen and in Hearts and Homes he marries her and sets up home in his little cottage which has neither electricity nor water. One of their neighbours, Robert Dennis decides in Yesterday’s Labours Lost to take over his father’s smallholding and his generation sees the last of the smallholders whose lore and language has been lost. In Yesterday’s Fancies and Follies, the nineteen fifties wear on and there is time and opportunity for dreams to wander into forbidden territory and a chance for smiles and gossip.

New – Yesterday’s Wonders and Worries.

This is the fifth in the saga of some men who work on a farm near you and their families in the days of the nineteen fifties.

They were very different days to those we know today. They were quiet and peaceful with very few of the things we take for granted now. The people and events of the village and the surrounding area were the limits of people’s experience and interests although the wider world was beginning to intrude.

But in the nineteen fifties things were changing and the countryside was on the cusp of radical changes in ways of traditional life.

And now in Yesterday’s Worries and Wonders the story leads on to the middle of the decade. In the quiet days of the countryside and in a village sheltered from the main highways, the people and their happenings are important to all of them. Illness comes to cause worries and medical facilities and social welfare are not as they are today, and people are justifiably worried. Also, wonderful things happen that give rise to happiness for many.

We too can share in the worries and wonders that befall characters who have become well known to us and are our friends and neighbours. If you know these books you will have become accustomed to the gentle and graphic style that recreates the nineteen fifties for us. So, this further book in the series will provide several hours reading and re-reading over the Christmas period. It will beat television for us.

If these books are unknown to you and your interest has been sparked by this poster you may well want to read the previous books. You may find all the five books in the shops below, or an order will be taken, each for the more than reasonable price of £7.95 each.

They are unique; there’s nothing else to compare with them. Could they be an indulgence for yourself or a present for someone you love?

Christingle at St. Nicholas Church

A Note from the editor

Christingle is going to be different this year, however, Christmas wouldn’t be the same without a Christingle! So, our Christingle service is going online!

As we emerge from the second lockdown, Christmas is around the corner and thoughts turn to making the best of things in these strange times. We may not be free to have the Christmas we would like but we can still celebrate the season, albeit in different ways.

Anyone is welcome to come and collect a Christingle – or a kit to make one yourself – from out-side St Nicholas’ Church on Thursday 17th December 8-11am and Sunday 20th December 9-11am.

The high streets are looking festive and shop windows are full of sparkle and tempting goodies. Many of our local businesses have been brought to the brink through the pandemic and are hoping Christmas may save the day, so shop locally if you can. But spare a thought for those less fortunate, charities are having a hard time too supporting those in need, so why not give an extra gift this Christmas to your chosen cause.

Then start your Christmas celebrations with St Nicholas and join in with our Christingle service from 17th December on our YouTube channel or via our Facebook page @stnicksnorthwalsham

Even though restrictions have been eased, it remains more vital than ever to observe the Covid guidelines, keep ourselves safe and protect our vulnerable to minimize the rise in cases. That being said, remember those on their own this Christmas, let family, neighbours and friends know you are thinking of them and they are not forgotten.

Our Christingle services are held to support the Children’s Society and all the work they do.

“The Children’s Society walk towards those young people whom Society walks away from. Your kind donations help them to keep these pathways open”

It just remains for me to wish all our readers and advertisers a Happy Christmas and a better New Year.

Enjoy your December magazine.

Their work is even more important at this time, so you are invited to give generously. You can donate when you collect your Christingle and through our dedicated giving page: https://thyg.uk/CUS048624

Keep well and safe.

Jo – Editor.

All Christingles and kits have been put together following strict Covid-secure guidelines.

Selling a property - Title Problems and how to fix them

by Nic Sheldrake, Director, Hayes + Storr

The easing of lockdown restrictions, a buoyant property market and the temporary savings on stamp duty mean that now could be a great time to make a move. In this article, I will look at some common title problems, which left unaddressed, could delay your sale.

Land Registry - As your solicitors, will we obtain an Official Copy of your property title from the Land Registry. Initially, we will check to see whether it reveals anything which could become a problem and if so, help deal with it.

Unregistered land - Your deeds would need to be located and checked for any potential matters which may delay a transaction. Instead of checking the Official Copy, we will need to examine the title deeds at the start of the transaction and advise on any potential issues.

Lost deeds - If the deeds are lost and all efforts to find them have failed, we will try to reconstruct your title by gathering as much evidence of ownership as possible, by way of statements from the owner and/or the party who last held the deeds and apply to the Land Registry for registration.

T TO O SL SLOW OW THE SP SPREAD READ OF ORONA AVIRUS IN NORF C CORONAVIRUS NORFOLK OLK

Restrictive covenants - A restrictive covenant is a type of restriction, which could affect your land, for the benefit of neighbouring land. Little can be done to alter or remove a restrictive covenant but for your buyer, it is best to know if any exist at an early stage.

Rights of way and other easements - Your buyer will want to know about any rights your property is subject to and make sure it has sufficient rights for its intended use. Sometimes problems arise with shared driveways and services where one property may include the drive, pipes, or wires etc, but the other property has no legal right to use them. Identifying and resolving these issues at an early stage will avoid delays later in the transaction when everybody is keen to complete.

DON’T DON’ T MEET FRIENDS OR FAMILY FAMIL A LY INDOORS WE’VE DONE IT BEF WE’VE BEFORE, ORE, SO W WE’VE E’VE F FOUND OUND NE NEW W W AYS T OS TAY IN T TOUCH OUCH WAYS TO STAY

Hopefully, your property will have no title defects but if it does, very few problems are insurmountable, and we will help find solutions to keep your sale on track.

For further information about buying or selling your home, please, contact Nic Sheldrake in the property team on 01263 712835 or email nic.sheldrake@hayes-storr.com.

Norfolk begins its Tier 2 restrictions

On behalf of the Norfolk Resilience Forum Today, Norfolk enters the next stage of restrictions in Tier 2 – the second of the three new tiers.

This is the time for Norfolk residents to work together, to remain cautious and to keep our distance from others, in order to drive our rates of infection down before Christmas.

Tier 2 means that people will only be allowed to meet in groups of up to six when they are outside (The rule of 6) but there cannot be any mixing of households anywhere indoors, both at home and when in a public place, with the exception of support bubbles. There are also restrictions on how businesses operate, particularly around opening hours, and what people can do as part of an organised sport.

The rules around support bubbles (where a single-adult household can group with another household as if they were one) have been extended to help families with very young children or with continuous care needs. There is also a set of rules around childcare bubbles that apply to families with children under the age of 14 (as well as vulnerable adults). For full details see www.gov.uk/guidance/tier-2-high-alert

You should continue to follow social distancing guidance with people outside of your household or support bubble. This is critical to keeping you, your family and your friends as safe as possible.

The start of this next phase comes as rates of the virus in many areas of Norfolk continue to drop slightly, reflecting the national trend following lockdown, which came into effect on November 5. However, not all areas of the county have seen such figures.

Cllr Andrew Proctor, Leader of Norfolk County Council and Chair of the Norfolk Engagement Board, said: “While our aim was to leave the national lockdown in Tier 1, being in Tier 2 with much of the rest of the country, means we do face further restrictions so we must now work together towards a sustained decline in the virus to help us to return to lesser restrictions as soon as possible. It is essential that we stick to the rules, work together to protect ourselves, our loved ones and our county and ensure that the rates of infection continue to go downwards. The best way to protect ourselves and others is to keep our distance, wash our hands and cover our faces. It is also important to understand that people must continue to follow social distancing measures and isolate if

they have symptoms, test positive or are asked to isolate by contact tracing teams.”

Chief Constable, Simon Bailey, added “Our journey through this pandemic is not yet over and we must continue to work together to stop the spread of infections. We must all follow the restrictions in Tier 2 wherever we are in the county or country to ensure that we can return to lesser measures as soon as possible. These rules have been put in place to protect us all and we need you to work with us and follow them.”

Information on the national tiers is available at www.gov.uk/guidance/local-restriction-tierswhat-you-need-to-know#all-tiers

In Tier 2:

• you must not socialise with anyone you do not live with or who is not in your support bubble in any indoor setting, whether at home or in a public place • you must not socialise in a group of more than 6 people outside, including in a garden or a public space – this is called the ‘rule of 6’ • businesses and venues can continue to operate, in a COVID-Secure manner, other than those which remain closed by law, such as nightclubs • pubs and bars must close, unless operating as restaurants. Hospitality venues can only serve alcohol with substantial meals • hospitality businesses selling food or drink for consumption on their premises are required to: 1. provide table service only, in premises which sell alcohol 2. close between 11pm and 5am (hospitality venues in airports, ports, transport services and motorway service areas are exempt) 3. stop taking orders after 10pm • hospitality businesses and venues selling food and drink for consumption off the premises can continue to do so after 10pm as long as this is through delivery service, click-andcollect or drive-through • early closure (11pm) applies to casinos, cinemas, theatres, museums, bowling alleys, amusement arcades, funfairs, theme parks, adventure parks and activities, and bingo

Services to resume after lockdown ends

Key council services suspended during lockdown reopen as national restrictions end.

we continued to support vulnerable people and kept schools, public transport and recycling sites operating. All our services will operate in a Covid-secure manner and it’s really important we follow the Government’s rules, to minimise the spread of the virus. If we all do this, we stand a better chance of moving into tier one as soon as possible and getting on the path to a more normal life next year.”

Services suspended when lockdown started and which will resume Dec 2nd include libraries and weddings. Adult learning courses will continue online, pending a review next month (January). The Norwich Castle, Tide and Time and Lynn Museums will reopen from 3rd December.

All council services will comply with the tier two rules that will apply to Norfolk from December 2nd.

Council leader Councillor Andrew Proctor said: “During lockdown,

Residents in Norfolk are being reminded that they are the most important book a test. Stay in isolation until you receive your results, which will link in the Test and Trace system The steps to take if you or any member of your household display Covid 19 symptoms are simple and can be key in preventing infections being spread.

If you are symptomatic you must isolate as soon as you notice symptoms and to have no face to face contact with anyone outside of your household.

It is important to do this straight away, and for everyone in the household to isolate as they could also be infectious even without symptoms.

As soon as you isolate, visit www.nhs.uk/coronavirus or call 119 to

Norfolk’s Covid Winter Support scheme opens to residents

Anyone in Norfolk suffering financial hardship this winter could receive help and support thanks to a new scheme that launches Wednesday 02 December.

Norfolk County Council, alongside local councils across Norfolk, is aiming to support as many residents as possible this winter to access financial and other support if they are facing hardship.

The scheme is particularly aimed at families and will provide support for those suffering financial hardship over the winter months due to Covid-19.

Support is available with food and utility bills.

Applications to the new support scheme can be made online, via the existing Norfolk Assistance Scheme pages at www.norfolk.gov.uk/NAS or applicants can call 0344 800 8020. From Wednesday 2 December, assistance in applying online will also be available through Norfolk Libraries.

In addition to this scheme we are working with food voucher company Edenred to provide support for all those eligible for free school meals, children in the early years who receive pupil premium and all of the council’s care leavers during the Christmas holidays. We are encouraging eligible families to register and apply for free school meals through their school, so that they begin to receive support in time for the school holidays.

Cllr Andrew Proctor, Leader of Norfolk County Council, said: “The impact of Covid-19 on households in Norfolk has been huge, and we know some people have found it hard to get by as a result. There is no reason anyone in Norfolk should have to go hungry or cold this winter, and this scheme will help people in need through the coldest months of the year. Whether it’s food or bills, our Winter Support scheme offers a lifeline to those worst hit by this pandemic and its effects. I’d encourage those who need help to apply and get the support they need.”

The Covid Winter Support scheme can help with: • Day to day living costs, including food and energy bills • Daily essentials such as toiletries, sanitary products and nappies • Food vouchers for the school holidays As part of the wider package of support for families this winter, T TO O SL SLOW OW THE SP SPREAD READ OF C CORONAVIRUS ORONA NORFOLK OLK AVIRUS IN NORF the council is also extending the Norfolk Assistance Scheme, which already provides support for food, fuel, clothes and other essential WE’VE W E’VE DONE IT BEF BEFORE, ORE, household items to SO THIS TIME WE’RE WE’RE Norfolk’s residents BETTER PREPARED BET TER P REP PARED A experiencing hardship.

Keeping yourselves and others safe

Coronavirus is still with us. Cases in Norfolk are low and we want to keep them that way. The best thing to do to protect ourselves and others is to continue to wash our hands regularly, keep our distance from others and wear a face covering in shops and on public transport.

To protect others, you and everyone living in your house should isolate straight away if you show symptoms. The symptoms are: a new continuous cough; fever; or a loss or change in your taste and smell.

As soon as you isolate, visit www.nhs.uk/coronavirus or call 119 to book a test. Everyone is eligible to get a test if they have symptoms.

You can choose either a drive-through test or a home test kit. Stay in isolation until you receive your results, which will include instructions on what to do next.

NHS Test and Trace will contact people who test positive for Covid-19.

They will ask you about who you have been in contact with from two days before onset of symptoms to seven days after. This will identify people at risk who could pass on the virus before (or without) showing symptoms themselves.

For more information about how to stay safe and how to get support if you need it whilst isolating visit: norfolk.gov.uk/coronavirus

include instructions on what to do next.

Cllr Bill Borrett, Norfolk County Council’s Cabinet Member for Public Health, said: “This isn’t just about protecting ourselves, but making sure we all play our part to protect everyone around us. We all have friends and family that we want to keep safe – whether that’s parents, elderly grandparents, and even our children. And we need everyone to play their part to help us do that. We all have to work together to keep each other safe.”

Cath Byford, Chief Nurse with NHS Norfolk and Waveney Clinical Commissioning Group, said: “Our call to everyone is, if you have coronavirus symptoms then self-isolate, get a test and help us track down people you have been in contact with. It’s one way that together we can beat this virus.”

But Test and Trace isn’t only about symptomatic individuals: when a positive test result arrives, teams of contact tracers will search for everyone the Covid positive individual has been in recent contact with and will alert them.

If you are alerted by NHS Test and Trace, you must isolate for 14 days after your contact with the individual. If you develop symptoms, you must book a test at the NHS coronavirus website and your household must isolate.

A Norfolk Local Outbreak Control Plan has been launched under the strapline Protect Ourselves, Protect Others, Protect Norfolk to set out how the county will support the national NHS Test and Trace programme to prevent and contain the spread of coronavirus.

The plan sets out how Norfolk’s Public Health will work with a range of County Council departments and community partners to prevent local outbreaks in the first place. However, if outbreaks do occur, the plan sets out how they will be tracked in specific work places, settings, and communities and managed to limit further transmission. Also detailed is how Norfolk residents can find further guidance and support.

Norfolk’s Director of Public Health has led on the development of our Local Outbreak Control Plan in partnership with district councils, NHS Chief Executives and the Norfolk Resilience Forum.

It was developed after the Government announced that every area of England should produce a plan to prevent and manage local outbreaks of coronavirus as lockdown measures are eased.

Prevention is key, and with further restrictions having been lifted, measures such as hand washing, social distancing in public places, and encouraging people to access testing immediately if they are unwell, are more important than ever.

Dementia Friendly status was awarded in 2018!

Some of you may have read the article by Daniel Moxon in the October 18th, 2020 edition of the EDP, in which Jennie Cummings-Knight, Chair of Trustees at Age Concern - North Norfolk acknowledged the importance of social interaction for us all but in particular for those with dementia. She said: “Social interaction is one of the best things you can do to avoid dementia getting worse, especially in its early stages, so lockdown in March was absolutely the worst thing for those people at that time.”

Age Concern - North Norfolk gained Dementia Friendly status in November 2018 and has worked hard to help people experiencing loneliness and isolation. But it was not until September that Age Concern was able to reopen and start to invite people back to the Day Centre.

As we come out of another lockdown and find ourselves in Tier 2 we, at Age Concern want to reassure those older members of our community, who must continue to take care as winter approaches, that the Day Centre in Cremer Street is open to offer company, support, a cooked lunch or even an assisted bath in our state-of-the-art facility.

VACANCY Day Centre Manager Registered Charity No. 1097115 Starting Salary will be £25-£28,000pa 30 hrs.pw pro rata, dependant upon qualifications and experience. (There will be a six-month probationary period, extendable at the Trustees discretion).

Summary of the position: Age Concern North Norfolk is a Charity committed to supporting the older people in our community. We provide day care services and lunch club, face-to-face befriending and drop-in clubs, across our area.

For those of you who may be isolating, we can still offer a friendly face, a befriending phone call and even that cooked meal through our ’Meals on Heels’ service. Due to restrictions and social distancing, we have to limit numbers at the Day Centre, so booking is important to help with planning and ensuring we can support individual needs.

Age Concern - North Norfolk Chair of Trustees Jennie Cummings-Knight.

Amy Elizabeth Photography Credit: Archant

Mrs CummingsKnight added: “It’s up to people to make their own decisions of whether they want to socialise, but there are so many who have missed the contact outside their homes so it’s great for them.”

The Trustees are seeking a highly motivated, professional with the skills and enthusiasm to manage our older people’s Community Hubs and actively engage with our local communities to promote Age Concern North Norfolk and promote the benefits the Charity can offer.

Are you that individual?

Are you someone who can provide effective leadership to a small team of Staff and Volunteers; to promote, manage and develop the services provided by the organisation. To develop a network of partnerships with a wide range of stakeholders and to work closely with the Charity’s Board of Trustees to develop and strengthen the Charity.

The Applicant for this post will preferable hold a Degree in Social Care, Nursing, Management or related field; have experience of working in a Care setting or similar for 3 years; have recognised leadership and management skills with small teams; have excellent organisational skills, computer skills, numeracy and literacy skills; able to prepare accurate reports and present reports to the Trustees; be both confident and competent within a care setting; friendly and approachable to Service Users and their family members or carers and actively seek new Service Users.

Merry Christmas From Toll Barn Vets!

Christmas is fun for all the family and that definitely includes all our pets!

However, Christmas is often a busy time for our 24/7 on-site emergency service as there are plenty of hidden dangers lurking during the festivities which we should all be aware of to help keep our pets safe.

Christmas Cake, Christmas Pudding, Mince Pies and Fruit Bowls all contain raisins, sultanas or grapes. These should never be fed to pets as they can cause kidney damage and in severe cases kidney failure. They can also contain alcohol which can cause signs of intoxication as well as dangerous drops in blood sugar levels, blood pressure and body temperature. Not all dogs will be affected but there is no way of knowing which animals will suffer from toxicity so they are best completely avoided.

Macadamia nuts can also be toxic causing neurological signs such as weakness, depression, tremors and vomiting within 12 hours of being eaten. Onions and garlic can also be harmful (even when cooked) with signs such as vomiting and diarrhoea and potentially destruction of red blood cells (haemolytic anaemia). Many Chhrristmas dinners include sage and onion stuffing or onion based gravy so it is best to avoid giving these “left overs� to pets.

Chocolate decorations are frequently used on trees and in stockings. Chocolate contains a stimulant called theobromine (similar to caffeine) which is toxic to dogs. The amount of theobromine varies with the type of chocolate (dark chocolate contains the highest levels).

Depending on the amount and type of chocolate eaten signs range from vomiting and diarrhoea to wobbliness, seizures and changes in heart rh hythm (arrhythmias). If your pet eats chocolate it is important to be able to tell your vet how much and what type of chocolate has been eaten as this will help us calculate whether a toxic dose has been reached.

Some foods such as sugar free gum and diabetic biscuits contain xylitol. Xylitol is a naturally occurring sugar which is often used as a sweetener in low carbohydrate and diabetic products. When pets eat xylitol their blood sugar level can drop rapidly causing gy and weakness and in letharg severe cases, seizures. Xylitol can also cause liver failure in some dogs. The signs of this can take several days to develop.

We would advise urgent veterinaryy attention for any pet who is suspected to have eaten products containing xylitol.

Pets, especially dogs, have an exceptional sense of smell. This means they will often hunt out bones, foil or string with meat juices fr from the rubbish bin or counter tops. These bones are often brittle and splinter easily which can cause blockages or tears within the oesophagus and intestine whilst foil or string can cause obstructions within the stomach and intestine.

Many of these (and other) foods also contain high levels of fat. This can cause vomiting aannd diarrhoea and more seriously increases the risk of pancreatitis.

There are also several household dangers which are more common at Christmas. Tinsel and tree ornaments are parrtticularly attractive play things to cats and puppies. If eaten these will often cause blockages and twists within the intestines of your pet requiring immediate surgery to remove the material. Christmas ornaments will also often break if played with by pets. This cann cause choking, cuts within

the mouth and damage to the intestines if eaten. Christmas trees themselves are also potentially toxic with pine needles causing irrritation of the mouth (which may show as excessive drooling), vomiting, diarrrhoea and weakknness. Naughty puppies and kittens have also been known to injure themselves climbing Christmas trees or knocking them over so it is alwayys advisable to havve a barrrier to preventt access to the tree, as well as supervvision!

Candles and fairy lights are always appealing to currious pets but can result in electrocution or burns.

Makke sure electric lights and candles are always placed out of reach of naughty paws!

Heated oils create pleasant aromas around the house but can cause burns to the tongue and mouth if licked so make sure they are placed away from inquisitive animals.

Festive bouquets often include Lilies but ingestion of the plant or plant pollen can cause kidney failure in cats. If your cat comes into contact with Lilies and the pollen sticks to their fur immediately place a buster collar or t-shirrtt on the cat to prevent them licking and ingesting more pollen and contact your vet for advice.

Holly, Mistletoe and Poinsettias are also toxic causing vomiting, diarrhhoea and depression.

Mistletoe has been kknnown to cause collapse, changes in hearrtt rate and erratic behaviour following ingestion. Poinsettia sap has irritant properties which can cause blistering of the mouth and stomach when eaten. We would recommend all plants are kept well out of reach of inquisitive pets!

Most of these potential dangers are treatable if caught early enough so if you have any concernns about your pet during this festive period our 24/7 on site emerggency service is available for our clients throughout Chhrristmas and New Year on our normal surgery phone number (01692 407126).

We wish you all a safe and Merry Christmas!

My Birding Life

A new book from Moss Taylor

A passion or an obsession? This book clearly shows the ups and downs of birding from excellent and enjoyable adventures to disastrous cruising, leaving the reader wondering what will happen next. Although not born in Norfolk, Moss considers the county as his adoptive home, and his love of Norfolk shows throughout the book especially the last chapter entitled ‘Weybourne Camp – my spiritual home’.

All profits from the sale of the book will be going to the charity Love for Leo, set up by the author and his partner Robina Churchyard, which helps to finance equipment and treatment that is not available under the National Health Service, for Norfolk and Suffolk children with cerebral palsy.

The chapters are not always in chronological order but cover his different interests, such as ringing birds, travelling abroad, writing newspaper columns and publishing books. Each chapter stands alone and so it is easy to turn to the next one for a different subject.

Throughout the book the text is accompanied by photos, the majority taken by the author, which add to the enjoyment. Moss takes us on a journey, which saw him turn his hobby into a profession, helped by his love of writing.

New book by local author Mike Harmer Enthusiasts of local history and gossip will be pleased to hear that North Walsham reclamation man, Mike Harmer, has recently published his second volume of memoirs. Entitled The Romany Chal: More Tales From A North Norfolk Romany Life, this is the follow-up to last year’s book, Kaka Rokker Romany. Both books are a true delight to anyone who treasures the soul of old Norfolk. Mike, who is as much a character as any who figure in his books, has spent his life mixing with all sorts from the landed gentry to the great unwashed as he has gone about his daily business of buying and selling. The son of a Romany mother and Gorgio father, Mike was born during the war in a railway carriage in Spa Common and has a memory like a sponge. Paying special attention to his Romany roots, Mike’s books conjure up a time gone by when people’s foibles and misdemeanours were the stuff of local legend and enjoyed by all.

Both books are available at the Showcase Gallery, 40A Market Place, North Walsham or through Mike’s website: www.mikeharmerofnorfolk.co.uk

It is obvious that Moss willingly shares his time and knowledge with those who need help with bird identification and calls, especially young people, in the hope that they too will find the same pleasure in birdwatching. This book gives an extremely good insight into Moss's passion for birds starting with his early years and finishing in 2020, leaving us wanting more.

My Birding Life has 192 pages and includes 138 colour photos. It retails at

The Gallant Gardener

Sweet peas are very hungry plants and need a good rich moist soil, in a warm south facing area. In April if you have planted the sweet peas in cardboard tubes you will be able to plant directly into the ground and there will be the minimum of disturbance of the roots. I will usually put two plants at the bottom of one cane. It is also helpful and will encourage more growth if you nip out the growing tip when it is 10cms or 4â&#x20AC;? tall.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is the season for planting sweet peasâ&#x20AC;?

For as long as I can remember at this time of the year, I have planted my first sowing of sweet peas. Sweet peas are a universal plant and can be trained up hazel rods or canes, they can be allowed to run through higher plants and in fact the seed companies have now got short sweet peas and plants for hanging baskets. Therefore, sweet peas can be grown in any number of situations and will provide vivid colours, scent and cut flowers.

Further sowings can be made in January / February and again in March / April, this will ensure that you will have flowers all through the summer. You can sow directly into the ground outside in April /May.

To plant sweet pea seed, the ideal containers are root trainers that will encourage long strong roots. If you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t got them then kitchen or toilet roll inners or indeed small pots. Fill the containers with multi-purpose compost and then sow one seed in each and water. In the past gardeners have suggested soaking the seed or nicking the seed coat with a knife. I have not been an advocate of these methods and having put the planted seed in a cold greenhouse, cold frame or windowsill, the seeds will normally germinate in a fortnight.

When you choose your sweet peas, Spencer sweet peas are one of the best for cut flowers and the older fashioned varieties have a very strong scent. The seed packet will give you all

the details.

Perennial sweet peas are also extremely popular and will provide a good form of colour for the garden. They come in various colours and will come up each year, but they do lack scent. Again, these are hungry plants and a good feed of blood, fish and bonemeal each year in the spring will encourage strong growth.

NOR NORTH TH NORF NORFOLK OLK REMO REMOVALS VALS A

One thing you must be mindful of and that is to protect the seeds and young plants from mice, they love the seeds and will attack them. I usually lift the seed containers up in the greenhouse or indeed cover them with very small mesh wire netting. Once the plants have become established, put them outside in a cold frame or sheltered position where they will continue to grow. If there is a frost or prolonged period of cold temperatures, cover the

P C SANTA

Santa Claus was in despair He had no presents – his sack was bare, Worldly pressure had now caught up The little children were out of luck.

The elves had been on strike for days, Santa could not afford minimum pay, The workshop was below sixty degrees (The minimum needed so they would not freeze).

The reindeer too wanted equal rights, They were all men – not a lady in sight, Donner and Blitzen, Prancer and Cupid Said eight men with girls names made them feel stupid.

Rudolph then threw a great big wobbly, His nose blazed bright red and his horns went knobbly, He felt his nose was being used to please So he demanded copyright fees.

With 'equal rights' and 'copyright fees', 'elf and safety' brought him to his knees, Santa felt lost and totally helpless All because of political correctness.

He suddenly had a bright idea, Why shouldn't people have Christmas cheer, He definitely knew what he must do So Santaland quit membership of the wretched E.U.

December 2020

a cat is rehomed with an ongoing problem which the new family will be aware of and for which help will be given by the branch if needed.

North Walsham and District Branch of Cats Protection

Benji and Buddy mentioned last time, together with Mollie and Dilys (the kitten featured in last month’s article), have all now been re-homed.

Penfold, Percy and Dave, who are all 10 years plus are still waiting to be chosen. Jaxom and Sal, our dear little three- legged girl, are also still available at the time of writing this. Kittens, also in care, but not old enough to leave for their new homes, are already reserved. It has been a busy time. However, as per usual, we will not be re-homing over the Christmas period.

Lesley who has been helping us out during Covid by taking in cats at her cattery in Hemsby has now become a fosterer for the branch on a permanent basis. As a consequence, we have added Caister Veterinary Practice to the list of vets we use for treatment of Cats Protection cats, and also for neutering. As Lesley has the lad with polyps in her care, he will be going to Caister for his operation.

When a cat comes into care the person handing it over completes and signs an “Acceptance Form” which gives personal details so that we can contact them should the need arise. It also indicates whether they are handing it over as it belonged to them, they have the owner’s permission to hand it over or that it is coming in to care because it is a stray. The form will show why the cat is being handed over and as many details as possible about the cat, ie name, age, sex, if it has been neutered, sociability to people and other animals etc By signing the form the person concerned is transferring ownership to Cats Protection unconditionally and allows us to contact their vets, if known, for their medical records.

Being able to contact their previous vets proved very useful recently when one cat came into care which had a really bad ear infection. On contacting the vets, we discovered that he had been re-homed by another charity that was aware he had polyps in his ears requiring treatment.

Unfortunately, nothing had been done about this before he was re-homed, and no treatment given by his new owner. He has now been seen by our vets and will shortly be having a very intricate and difficult operation to remove the polyps. This poor little cat will hopefully soon be feeling much better and no longer in pain. When we re-home a cat you can rest assured that it has usually received any treatment needed and given a clean bill of health by its vets. There are odd occasions when This year has been extra busy, at the moment there are 50 hogs in care.

In the last 2 weeks there has been a dog attack victim and a road casualty but the majority coming in are autumn juveniles who do not weigh enough to survive hibernation, like the one pictured. Depending on Covid restrictions we should be at North Walsham Garden Centre on Norwich Rd, 12th & 13th December between 10 to 3. Come & visit our stall and buy a stocking filler to help feed a hog.

Schoolboy’s appeal to help the homeless

A seven-year-old schoolboy has been so moved by the plight of the homeless, he has launched an on-line appeal for raise money for a Norfolk charity supporting them.

Joel Swash from Mundesley features in a short family video asking people to “give a quid” – which has already raised £360, more than seven times his initial £50 target. In it he says: “Sometimes when we go to Norwich on a fun day out we see them on the streets in the freezing cold – and it makes a fun day out a sad day out.”

Proud dad Philip, who runs Swash Nosh catering, said: “It came out of the blue, but he has always been interested in the plight of the homeless. I remember my wife Karen giving money to a Big Issue seller in Grantham and Joel was asking loads of questions. And he once took half his uneaten pizza from a Norwich restaurant to give to a homeless man outside.”

found the Norwich-based homelessness charity the St Martins Housing Trust on his phone and said he wanted to do something for them. He said the response to his appeal was “brilliant” and thanked everyone who had supported him and the charity.

The Swash family, including elder brother Ethan 13, are all big charity supporters, helping a variety of causes from the Community Sports Foundation to a hospital neo-natal unit. Mr Swash, who is also well known through his catering at Mundesley Golf Club, said: “Joel has seen all the work we do, and we are very proud he is following suit.

Dr Jan Sheldon, chief executive of St Martins said, “We are delighted to have Joel’s support and thank him for his compassionate and mature response after seeing people sleeping rough in Norwich. His plea to his family and friends to ‘give a quid’ has clearly touched their hearts and shows how a small request can make a really big difference. The money Joel has raised will go towards St Martins’ new

accommodation project, which will mean more bed spaces are available to homeless people who desperately need support.”

MonaLisa Touch Laser Therapy is available at the Coltishall Clinic

MonaLisa Touch offers a new method, with a unique concept, to restore the women’s health and it represents a truly decisive solution for:

• • • • • •

Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM) Dyspareunia Pain Itching Mild Mixed Urinary Incontinence Low oestrogen symptoms after childbirth

MonaLisa Touch is the only laser therapy fully recognized by International Scientific Community and supported by Clinical Publications. This is a painless laser therapy that uses lasers to reshape and regenerate women’s tissue that may have started to degenerate.

How it works MonaLisa Touch works by applying a gentle laser therapy to your intimate areas. This stimulates the production of new collagen, rehydrating and tightening the membrane lining. Your consultant will administer treatment in tiny dots, meaning only a tiny area is affected at a time.

What Happens The laser gently acts through a special scanner, creating indistinguishable micro-treated areas that are required for triggering the production of new collagen, which is the main protein found in structural tissue. The laser’s action safely and painlessly reactivates the proper function of the intimate areas, while also improving the symptoms associated with mild urinary incontinence. A tissue regeneration process lasting several weeks is triggered. Stimulation occurs immediately and improvements can be seen after the first treatment. This minimally invasive, painless procedure is usually completed in five minutes.

Afterwards No recovery time is needed. You’ll be able to leave the clinic immediately afterwards and carry on with your normal daily activities.

You should start seeing improvements in your symptoms after one treatment, but three treatments are often required to maximise improvements. Feeling of loose tissue, itching, burning, dryness and pain during sex should all be significantly reduced.

North Norfolk Family Solicitors support â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Good Divorce Week 2020â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Family Solicitors at North Norfolk based law firm Clapham & Collinge LLP are supporting Resolutionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Good Divorce Week 2020â&#x20AC;&#x2122;, a national campaign that aims to promote practical and constructive ways for separating parents to put the needs of their children first.

Organised by Resolution, a community of more than 6,500 family justice professionals, this year the campaign focuses around the benefits of early legal advice, as it prepares to re-launch its Code of Practice.

Resolution members believe the process of separating, sorting out finances and arranging childcare should be done in a way that minimises conflict and keeps the best interests of any children involved at the heart of proceedings. There is no silver bullet approach to divorce, as every family is different. However, by seeking early professional advice, couples have the benefit of considering a range of options and making a decision that is most suitable to them.

Neale Grearson, who is a Partner and Head of Family Law Department at Clapham & Collinge LLP, is a qualified Collaborative Lawyer and member of the Norfolk Good Divorce Group. This is made up of family lawyers from firms throughout the county

who are committed to helping clients achieve a divorce or separation in a non-confrontational way, without going to court.

What is a "good divorce"?

The term "good divorce" is an interesting phrase and in some ways is contradictory. A natural pre-cursor to divorce is a relationship breakdown. Relationship breakdowns can be difficult for parties at a time when emotions are often running high. This can increase tensions especially when faced with a legal mechanism which is currently heavily reliant upon fault.

The so called "blame game" can have a huge impact on the couples future relationship.

Change is a natural part of life but when it happens within the family unit it can be difficult to deal with. Not only can it be difficult for the couple themselves but it can affect children and also the wider family.

Many children may not want their parents to separate, they may feel confused and uncertain about what the future holds or sometimes they may have mixed feelings if they know that their parents were not happy in the relationship.

The idea of a "good divorce" is to try and reduce conflict between the parties and the impact that this has on children and the wider

Caroline Eaton

Neale Grearson

family. The ultimate goal is for parties to come out the other side of the relationship breakdown amicably, with respect for each other, putting their children's needs first and limiting the overall impact of the breakdown on their children and the wider family.

Clapham & Collingeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family law advice is bespoke, confidential and totally designed around you, helping you come to the best conclusion for both you and your family.

Neale, together with Associate Solicitor Caroline Eaton are members of Resolution and fully support and uphold Resolutionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Code of Practice in the work they do.

North Walsham and Dilham Canal Trust

The North Walsham and Dilham Canal Trust is calling for additional volunteers to help with canal restoration work, as it bids to re-water a mile-and-a-half stretch of canal between Spa Common and Swafield, on the eastern edge of North Walsham.

The Trust, which has been working alongside land owners on the waterway’s restoration since 2008, is aiming to re-fill the stretch of canal, popular with walkers and anglers, by the spring of 2021, leading to a near three-mile continuous stretch of navigable water for small boats, canoes and the Trust’s own tour boat, with plans to restore more over the coming years.

Maintained by the charitable organisation and the canal owners, the canal banks between Swaffield and Bacton Wood are currently being raised in preparation for the re-watering, while lock gates near Spa Common have been fully restored and upstream spillways designed for flood prevention have also been repaired.

“Volunteering with the North Walsham and Dilham Canal Trust is a great way to spend

time outdoors, enjoying the beautiful setting of our local canal,” the Trust’s media officer James Warner Smith commented. “We have Covid secure procedures in place and practice social distancing but, once our work parties resume in December, it remains a great way to join with other people and work on a community project.

The goal of re-watering the canal in 2021 is hugely exciting and seeing this local stretch of canal restored once more will be incredibly rewarding for all of the volunteers involved.”

Volunteers with the Trust currently range from 18 to over 80 years of age, with no qualifications required and jobs ranging from reed cutting and bank repairs to helping monitor wildlife and flora. Volunteering parties are set to resume after 2nd December.

In particular the North Walsham and Dilham Canal Trust are seeking tradespeople to volunteer in specific fields, including certified chainsaw operators, those with scaffolding or carpentry experience, to help with lock gates, and first-aid-trained boat operators with an RYA Powerboat Level II certificate or Inland

www.rosevillapublications.co.uk

Waterways Helmsman certificate.

“Volunteering with the North Walsham and Dilham Canal Trust is a great way to contribute to the environment of our town and surrounding countryside,” the Trust’s Boating Officer, Graham Pressman, commented. “It’s also a fantastic way for newcomers to build experience and learn fresh skills or for professional tradespeople to provide their expertise in a way that hugely benefits our community and local wildlife.”

Further information about volunteering can be found on the North Walsham and Dilham Canal Trust website, nwdct.org, or volunteers can contact the Trust’s secretary at secretary@nwdct.org

CHESS PROBLEMS by Dr Cedric Lytton 284. Norris Easter, The Problemist, 1929

WE

285. P.G.L. Fothergill, Hampstead & Highgate Express, 1891

Want to know how much your house is worth?

The market is buoyant and there are lots of buyers out there.

284. Mate in two moves

Plus, there’s the added incentive of a stamp duty holiday*.

285. Mate in two moves

Solution to No. 284: 1. Kg2, no threat. 1… Bxd4+ 2. Bf2; 1…

Bc3+ 2. Bd2; 1… Bc1+ 2. Bc2; 1… Kc1 2. Bc3. Splendid retreating key, moving into 3 checks parried by interpositions (Cross-Check theme) but enabling 2. Bf2 to cut off the black Bd4 as well as parrying the R check.

In No. 285 two of Black’s K flights are already provided with mates, and the key-move deals with the third flight rather prettily.

Game-players, who might otherwise dismiss these problems as trivial wins for White, could imagine that they have given Black odds of having to mate in (say) 40 moves, and they now have to play White’s 39th! But in 99.9% cases, the idea is to show some beautiful idea (theme), though a nice key is always a bonus. Difficulty 2.

Solutions to me at 16 Lime Grove, Sheringham NR26 8NX, or e-mail to lestershaw7@gmail.com.

Mental Health Questionnaire

We, the Campaign for Mental Health Services in North Norfolk, are very aware of the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on people's mental health. We want to hear from you - your personal stories and experiences of mental health distress in your daily life.

The shortage of appropriate Mental Health Services to turn to when we need help to deal with the Covid-19 situation has been strongly highlighted since March of this year.

We would like to be able to present people's real life stories to the Norfolk & Suffolk Foundation Trust, our local MP, the Health Secretary and the Care Quality Commission, to assist in our campaign for an improvement in services in this area. We’d like to know your individual experiences. Would you help us to help you by answering the following questions:• Have you sought help for mental health issues in the last few months? If so, have you felt isolated, abandoned or let down by local mental health services?

• Have you had to wait too long for help? If you have received help, was it useful or appropriate to your particular circumstances?

• Have you suffered loss of employment or sickness and been left without money, or driven to despair by the complications of the benefits system?

• Are you supporting a loved one with mental health needs?

• Have you or a loved one been impacted by dementia and felt isolated, unheard or “shut away” during the last 6 months?

If you’d be happy for us to share your story (anonymously if you wish), we would like to hear from you. Please complete the questionnaire and send it to us as soon as you can, by email: nnmentalhealthcrisis@gmail.com.

This time of year, accountants are generally very busy dealing with their existing client’s needs, therefore taking on additional clients, it may not be possible to guarantee filing on time.

This year the situation maybe exacerbated due to the Covid 19 and the issues surrounding the management of the virus.

Therefore, if you do not have arrangements in place for filing your 2020 Self-Assessment, I would encourage you to speak with an accountant at the earliest opportunity.

North Norfolk Photographic Society

Zoom continues to keep North Norfolk Photographic Society going! On 4th November a competition was held that was intended to be printed pictures but was adapted to digital images to suit the medium.

The judge, Andy Swain, was spared having to travel up from his home in Norwich and had 71 photographs to assess.

Commuter

There were two members awarded ‘Gold’ and these were Judith Wells’ with ‘Pas de Deux’ and Paul Richards with ‘Pied Wagtail catching Flies’ which were both photos of birds – Judith’s being two terns striking a balletic pose.

Kestral with begging fledgling chick

Andy Swain gave two ‘Silver’ awards – both to Mick Walker for ‘Commuter’ which is a striking picture of a cyclist travelling through a dramatic architectural scene, reflected in water and ‘Golden Jackals’ – two Golden Jackals!

‘Bronze’ awards went to Diana Knight for ‘Otters Fishing in the Rain’ and ‘Kestrel with begging fledgling chick’ and to Frederic Landes with ‘Mate Calling (Bee Eater)’.

North Walsham Times

December 2020

Unsurprisingly, it remains uncertain whether there be will be any competitive rugby this season. With the League season finally cancelled, hopes are pinned on a “local cluster” competition involving Colchester, Shelford, Sudbury (all of whom play at tier 6), the Vikings (tier 5) and Cambridge 2nds, whose 1st XV play at tier 3. If it does go ahead it may be under a revised format that excludes mauls and scrums.

Park 6.45. This pattern is expected to continue until the end of January.

Newcomers are welcome, any enquires to Director of Rugby James Knight, 07917 896684. “Pre-season “- normally 8 weeks - has been ongoing since early July, with around forty adults most sessions and twenty Colts.

“Not knowing when we are going to play has been tough but we’re making the best of it, training hard, keeping up the social side.

Spirits are surprisingly high,” said James.

Clearly though it is frustrating, particularly following last season’s promotion and the squad’s strengthening - the number of new players is now in double figures. Training has focused on skills, conditioning & fitness, communication and team building, incorporating competitive challenges wherever possible.

Meanwhile the adult sides were due to resume training after lockdown: Mondays at Easton College at 7.00 pm, Thursdays at Scottow

North Walsham and District Probus Club

It is with sadness that I have to report that the North Walsham and District Probus Club is no more. Due to an ageing membership and no one feeling able to take on the key roles necessary to run the club, plus the added complications of the Covid 19 virus, there was no option other than to close the club. The club was set up in 1976 and has been a part of North Walsham for 44 years and will be sadly missed. Our last act, as a club, was the laying of the Probus wreath by the outgoing president Albert Herd, in the Memorial Chapel at St Nicholas Church on Wednesday 11th November.

The Youth, Valkyries & Minis were due to re-start on Sunday 6 December.

Numbers have been very good, and some newcomers were expected following the successful October Rugby Camps which were attended by almost a hundred youngsters, well over half in the Minis age range.

Once our treasurer had balanced the books it was decided that the remaining funds should be used for the benefit of our town, so after consultation with members the following donations were made; to NW Good Neighbours £445.52,to NW in Bloom £445.51 and to NW Cherish (Dementia) £445.51.

The club regalia, records of meetings, outings and events have been passed to the NW Heritage Society, as they form in integral part of our town’s history and will be available should there come a time when a new club could be formed.

May we take this opportunity to thank the committee and the members of the club for all their support in the past and wish them well for the future.
