The Disappearing Telephone Kiosk u3a Local History Group
As mentioned in the March edition we are well provided with post boxes in this area, but it is quite a different story when we come to telephone kiosks. The evergrowing use of mobile phones has made a telephone kiosk a rare sight and we are fortunate to have a working red kiosk in Upper Sheringham.
Many kiosks declared obsolete have been adopted by local communities and used for various purposes including housing defibrillators or a book exchange scheme where the mobile library service has been lost. (The village of Hurstbourne Tarrant in Hampshire has recently been in the news because ‘salacious adult literature’ was introduced into a kiosk library). It costs £1 to adopt a kiosk.
Young people today will not believe how we had to make calls before the advent of mobile phones. First of all, finding the right coins or having to stop someone in the street to ask if they had change for the telephone. Having to remember the phone numbers, complete with the exchange, perhaps with the help of the provided directories. Then dialing the number and pushing Button A to be heard, or Button B, to get the money back, if nobody answered. Continued on page 4...

The Disappearing Telephone Kiosk
Worstead Village Festival 2021 Cancelled
Continued from front cover... As a child I remember that we never passed a phone box without pressing Button B in the hope that the last caller had forgotten to press it and we could collect their coins. I heard of even naughtier children who stuffed a rag in the refund chute on their way to school and on the way home pulled it out hoping that Button B had been pressed in the meantime. If so, the refunded money, having been blocked by the rag, came tumbling out to supplement their pocket money.
Statement from Worstead Festival Trustees
It is with great sadness that the Trustees have made the decision to cancel this year’s Worstead Festival which was due to take place on the weekend of 24th & 25th July.
“This last year has been extremely difficult for us all and we all really wanted the festival to happen,” said the Chair of Trustee’s, Jane Bond. “It’s unlikely that a government decision, allowing the festival to proceed, will be made before June 21st. This would give insufficient time to complete arrangements to safely deliver the festival. The aim of the festival has always been to help local charities,” Mrs Bond went on to say. “With that in mind the trustees have decided to grant money to local good causes instead of putting it towards organising a festival this year.” Jane Bond
The kiosk in Church Lane, Upper Sheringham is a listed monument, and the listing description is as follows ‘Telephone Kiosk, Type K6. Designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott. Made by various contractors. Cast Iron Square Kiosk with domed roof. Unperforated crowns to top panels and margin glazing to windows.’ The K6 was also known as the ‘Jubilee Kiosk’ as it was introduced to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of the Coronation of King George V. Some 60,000 of these kiosks were erected across Britain.
Although Gilbert Scott reluctantly agreed to the use of ‘Post Office Red’ paint on his kiosks he was never a supporter of the colour and initially suggested that the outside of the boxes should be painted silver and the inside greenish blue. He strongly urged that rural boxes be painted dove grey.
Domestic Domestic and and commercial. commercial. All enquiries welcomed. welcomed.
In Sheringham we have another example of the work of Sir Giles Gilbert Scott with the Roman Catholic Church of St. Joseph. This church is also Grade II listed and was completed by Gilbert Scott in 1936. It is built of red brick with a plain tile roof hidden by high parapets. A full description of the church can be found on the Historic England website.
Other major works of Gilbert Scott include Liverpool Cathedral, Battersea Power Station and Waterloo Bridge. Incidentally, this bridge is nicknamed ‘The Ladies Bridge’ in honour of the large number of women involved in the rebuilding of the bridge during the Second World War performing tasks such as welding, stone masonry and general labouring.

Dear Jo,
clint_brown_1@hotmail.com
I was interested in the letter about letter boxes in the last issue from Bob Wilkinson of the u3a Local History Group. You may like to know that there has been a Letter Box Study Group since 1976 that has identified 800 different types of box. As a member you receive an excellent quarterly magazine and can buy a CD listing all 115,000 boxes including their grid references. And, yes, the Group has even featured as a guest publication on ‘Have I Got News for You’! To join go to www.lbsg.org or write to the Secretary, LBSG, 38 Leopold Avenue, Birmingham B20 1ES.
Regards,
A Note from the editor
At last, the moment we have all been waiting for has arrived. We can cautiously come out of hiding and begin to meet up with one another, albeit at a safe distance. Eating out is allowed, weather permitting!
How lovely to browse in a shop rather than on a computer screen.
We start to look forward to things getting easier and enjoying more fresh air and, dare I say, fun.
David Hurdle
But we still have to play our part in making sure things follow a smooth the road out of lockdown. Don’t forget those second jabs, keep using those masks and stay a safe distance from others when out and about. We can’t afford to throw away all our hard work now.
Dear Jo,
Could I once again ask readers of Sheringham Independent and Holt Chronicle to continue saving their stamps for me which I send onto many charities. Thank you for those who have sent me theirs so far. These charities need as much support especially through this period of COVID.
Please send them to: -
Once again thank you.

The Grove Cromer - nearly there! Welcome back to Gallery Plus
As I sit writing this the hail has ceased and the April sun is shining brightly; we've just been shovelling thirty tonnes of new gravel around our front drive to get ready for reopening.
The gallery looks AMAZING and is FULL of COLOUR with SO much new work on show!
Paintings, prints, glassware, ceramics, sculpture, and jewellery all presented in a bright and airy gallery flooded with natural light.
Although this last year has been tremendously tough for the hospitality industry, us Cromer folk are resilient and - hopefully - the town has weathered yet another storm and is standing by to receive all the lovely visitors we see each year.
Featured is Amelia Mills, an abstract artist based on the North Norfolk coast.
We have a new project that will be opening in May. Sundown is our second restaurant at the Grove; two giant tipis put together to provide seating for up to 100, all enjoying hand made, stone-based pizzas, seafood platters and Norfolk tapas. It's really exciting and we look forward to welcoming you all in a few weeks' time.
Inspired by the ocean and aerial landscapes, she creates
And of course our double AA Rosette a la carte restaurant is still going strong, together with afternoon teas on our new terrace. So please do come and see us this summer!

Norfolk Hall owners open walled gardens and host artisan craft fair in aid of charity
The owners of a secluded 18th century Norfolk Hall are to host an open garden and bijou craft fair in aid of the Motor Neurone Disease Association on the 29 and 30 May 2021. Over 21 local artisans will be showing their hand made wares.
Mother and daughter, Pauline Harrold and Lara Lacey who live at Thurning Hall, Thurning between Reepham and Holt have hosted weddings at the Hall for over 26 years as an approved licensed civil ceremony venue. However, it is only the second time they have opened the garden to the public.
Pauline who is 85, established the gardens when she moved to the hall in the 1960s. She still loves working in them, planting and designing helped by Lara, her husband George and their three young children. There are over 150 spiced of roses with largely cottage style planting.
Pauline first saw the hall when her late father, G.W Harrold a member of a well-known known Norfolk farming family acquired it during WW11. She remembers standing on the bridge which overlooks the lake and it was surrounded by Land Army girls and American Air Force men who were based nearby. The Hall had previously belonged to the Rev, Whitwell Elwin a direct descendent of Pocahontas and her husband John Rolfe who designed and had built the magnificent Booton Church, near Reepham, Norfolk.
The Hall and grounds have also been used as a location to film “The Mill on the Floss” by

George Eliot and “A Fatal Inversion” by Barbara Vine as well as appearing as the backdrop for many national newspapers and magazine shoots.
Kelly Boston, community fundraiser for Motor Neurone Disease Association says “We are delighted to have the support of Lara and Thurning Hall and wish them every success for their garden party. The funds they raise will help us to continue our vital work in providing support for people affected MND, campaigning to raise awareness of the disease and funding research to find treatments and ultimately a cure for MND.”

“It’s a recurrent misconception that a larger firm is better.”
I am Clare Mayell and I own Silver and Ward Solicitors in Sheringham. I am an extremely competent and experienced solicitor. I appreciate that any time of the year can be a difffficult time for many people to resolve legal issues of worry and concern, for example, making a will or Lasting Power of Attorney, and especially during this very uncertain time. As I have worked for 2 larger local firms I know what clients want and expect. My charges are significantly less than other solicitors in North Norrffolk or Norrw wich and I provide 24 years of expertise and exceptional service. I pride myself in being one of the only solicitors who offers a FREE FIRST APPOINTMENT, so clients can come in and obtain some initial advice and discuss costs and then make an informed decision. At a larger firm you just pay more. I can also offer appointments via Zoom, telephone or Skype and through the website www.silverandward.co.uk.. When a client rings or walks through the door they invariably get to speak to me as this personal and direct approach is important to my clients and I. I ensure complete confidentiality is an absolute priority. I advise new clients to “shop around” as I know that my charges are significantly less than other solicitors but I can offe fer the same expertise, if not better. I have and can act for clients across Norrffolk and the Country as we now have the use of Skype, emails etc. so it enables me to act for clients further afield. The reason that clients, near and far, instruct Silver and Ward is because of my expertise, exceptional service and competitive costs. Of course we have all necessary Covid measures in place in the office.
“I would say to any potential client with a legal issue or worry to come and meet me face to face for a FREE FIRST APPOINTMENT, as you have nothing to lose but all to gain. Home visits can be arranged at no extra cost.

Cromer Minor Injuries Unit reopens
Cromer Minor Injuries Unit reopened on Monday 29 March as part of the restoration of services at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. It comes after the Cromer team, including ten Emergency Nurse Practitioners, were redeployed to support the Emergency Department at NNUH during the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic in January. Alice Richardson, Emergency Department Matron, praised the MIU team for their support and flexibility during the most challenging period of the pandemic. “It has been amazing to have the Cromer MIU team with us to cover all our Emergency Nurse
Practitioner service and we have not had to supply a doctor to the minor injuries area at NNUH. They have also been helping with triage and initial assessment. They have been working in their scope of practice working in a different environment and have adapted really well. They are all really excited to be getting back to Cromer and reopening the MIU,” she said. Cromer MIU, in Mill Road, Cromer will be open seven days a week and its usual hours of 8am to 7.45pm from Monday 29 March. If you are unsure about whether Cromer MIU is the appropriate place for your healthcare needs, please call 01603 646230.
Children's diabetic check-up service opens in Cromer
Thanks to NNUH Specialist Children’s Diabetes Nurses and the Cromer outpatient team, families living in and around Cromer will no longer have to travel to Norwich for one of their routine condition check appointments.
As well as an annual check-up, children with diabetes have to have their overall glucose levels checked every three months. Until recently this involved up to a 50-mile round trip for some families from the coastal town, and surrounding area, to NNUH for the test, which takes only a few minutes.
The face-to-face test has always been carried out by NNUH health care assistants (HCAs) in a routine clinic appointment but because of the Covid-19 pandemic that in-person contact was reduced. A drive through service was created at NNUH so that children could extend their arm out of their car window, have the finger-prick test and wait for confirmation of a result.
Cromer Hospital Diabetes Team
Senior Paediatric Diabetes Specialist Nurse, Suzanne Lee, wanted to set up a local service out of Cromer Hospital, so has developed a similar service there too. Training was arranged by the NNUH diabetes nurses to enable the clinic to be run by the outpatient nurses in Cromer.
Suzanne said: “We wanted to create a local service similar to that which we were running at the N&N. We did the training four months
The Minor Injuries Unit at Cromer can deal with: • Minor head injuries (with no loss of consciousness) • Simple wounds • Simple eye conditions, foreign body, corneal abrasions • Minor burns • Soft tissue injury • Bites and stings, with no associated complications, or acute reaction • Simple fractures • Fingers that may be broken or dislocated
ago and made sure it was embedded and that staff were fully confident in running a clinic so the Cromer team can run this independently.”
Since then, the team has run three clinics. Suzanne said: “I am really pleased with how teams from both hospitals have worked so well together to set up this service. This really is so much better for our patients in North Norfolk.” Mum of two, Heidi Skillen, from Cromer, has benefited from the clinics now working out of her local hospital. Before and during the pandemic she would have to take her daughter Ava, 12, out of Cromer Academy, for the majority of the day to take her to NNUH for her check-ups – a situation Ava found stressful. Heidi also has a nine-year-old son, Harry, who needed to make the journey as well as he could not be left with anyone during lockdown.
Heidi said: “This has been great for me. I am a single parent, and it is so much easier to go to Cromer Hospital. I don’t have that hour round trip; parking issues and I can take Harry with me. He can sit in the car with a phone, so he can call me if there are any problems.”
Work starts on NNUH Ambulatory Procedures Unit
development is part of the trust’s goal to be a provider of high-quality health and care services to our local population, and to be a leader in the redesign and delivery of health and social care services in Norfolk.”
Work has started on a £2.9m walk-in day procedure unit at NNUH as part of the trust’s building improvement programme.
The project will see cutting edge equipment housed in three neutral pressure treatment rooms, as well as associated support areas to enhance services for ambulatory patients attending for procedures. NNUH Chief of Surgery, Dr Tim Leary said: “The new unit will bring significant improvements for our patients. A dedicated team will be able to carry out more procedures for patients who need surgical procedures under local anaesthetic.
Other building projects currently underway include construction of the £6.5m Jenny Lind Hospital paediatric theatres to provide a purpose-built theatre complex for our younger patients up to the age of 16 and a £750k extension to the emergency department to install changing rooms, showers and toilets for staff, which is due to be complete this summer.
“Innovative regional anaesthetic and surgical technique will expand the range of procedures that can now be completed safely and comfortably without the requirement for general anaesthesia. Many of these procedures are currently carried out in the main theatre complex, so their completion in a dedicated ambulatory unit will release capacity to treat additional patients requiring more complex procedures.”

There should be minimum disruption for patients visiting the trust for treatment as clinical services will continue during the work. This project will reduce ongoing operation costs, through best use of existing space alongside a one-off capital investment of £2.9m. This is also another example of a building project which the NNUH Board has chosen to fast track. It is due to be completed by mid-summer with the first patients due in before the autumn.

Covid-19: Why having a Will in place is so important
On 5th March 2020 the first death from Covid-19 in the UK was confirmed. At that date just over 100 cases had been recorded and the Prime Minister thought the outbreak would cause the country "a substantial period of disruption."
One year later and in the past 12 months over 125,000 people in the UK have died from a disease that none of us had heard of at the start of 2020 and which has now killed over 2.6 million people globally.
Statistics show that approximately 60% of people in the UK don't have a Will: that's 75,000 of those people. Applying those statistics, 75,000 people who died in the last 12 months in the UK from Covid-19 died without a Will: 75,000 people!
75,000 people not only left families distraught and upset through their untimely deaths but who then compounded that grief by the family discovering that person had not made a Will, causing unnecessary stress and upset at a time they needed it least.
One of the most responsible and straightforward matters that we can do is to have a Will in place; an up-to-date document which is properly drafted by a Solicitor and can easily be located on death.
Losing a loved one is stressful and upsetting, particularly if this death was unexpected. If you die without a Will your family will need to get legal advice and dealing with matters is usually more costly and complex. A Will is the only legal way to specify what you want to happen to your child if you die before they are 18. A Will is especially important for parents with young children to appoint a legal guardian. A Will is the only way to leave assets to your partner and your partner's children if you are unmarried; unmarried partners or "common-law" spouses receive nothing if you die without a Will.
If you die without a Will the law decides who gets what according to certain rules. These are called the rules of intestacy, which can be can be arbitrary.
Throughout the ongoing restrictions of Covid-19 it has been possible to prepare a Will; we have met clients in car-parks, outside windows, in their own homes and remotely via Zoom, Teams, WhatsApp and Facetime. Meeting clients remotely has become the 'new norm' as we've responded to the challenges of this pandemic and delivered exceptional service.
The coronavirus pandemic, more than any other event in our recent history, has forced us to re-evaluate our lives: it has killed people,
forced people to lose their livelihoods, restricted our freedoms and controlled our lives; it has not and cannot stop us putting our legal affairs in order and this is something we wholeheartedly advocate and the Government recommend also.
With one of the largest Wills, Trusts and Probate departments in Norfolk, we have a reputation for providing the local community with an extensive range of private client services. We pride ourselves on providing Wills that give you complete peace of mind and legal assurance that your wishes will be carried out once you are gone so you know your family will be taken care of.

have green tomatoes, you can put them on a windowsill, and they will ripen.
The Gallant Gardener Growing Tomatoes - April 2021
One of the most versatile, productive and cost saving crops that you can grow are tomatoes. In today’s climate and also the current market, there are varieties that will suit both greenhouse, outdoors and also hanging baskets. You can grow them in open ground, grow bags, large containers or indeed hanging baskets. You can also grow them in running water which is called hydroponics which is quite technical.
In 2019 we visited Chateau de la Bourdaisiere in the Loire, France, there they have the world’s biggest collection of tomatoes. On each tripod they grow three different types of tomato and there were an amazing variety of colours, shapes and sizes. www.labourdaisiere.com/en/portfolio/ the-national-tomato-conservatory
It is not too late to grow your own tomatoes, by starting them off on a warm windowsill in a pot of fine compost and putting a polythene bag over them to keep it moist. The seeds will germinate within a few days. Gradually take off the bag and keep them out of direct sun until they harden off a bit or they will scorch. You can buy already developed young plants ready to plant out in a greenhouse or conservatory soon.
would need to do is put a circle of wire mesh around the plant to keep the branches and fruit off the ground, supporting the whole plant, then you do not need to nip out the shoots coming from the leaf joints.
You can now grow a wonderful, sweet cropping tomato which is purely for growing in hanging baskets, put three plants in a large hanging basket, filled with good compost. They will need watering every day and fed at least twice a week as the plants are very hungry. Once the frost is no longer a problem they can go outside. Tomatoes originated from Peru and were brought to Europe by the Spanish, so they love the heat. They are from the same family as potatoes. When the fruits become ripe they will need picking or they will split and develop bacteria. If at the end of the season you still
We are recruiting at Kelling Heath Holiday Park and Woodhill Park. Come and join the team!
When the tomato seedlings develop a further set of leaves, now is the time to pot them onto a 3” or 10cm pot of general-purpose compost. This plant can be grown on until you want to plant it out into its final location or indeed potted on to a bigger container, a pot the size of 18” would be well suited to growing it to a mature fruiting plant or indeed a grow bag would suit three plants.
As the plant grows it will put outside shoots from the leaf joint. If you want a single stem plant, these need to be nipped out. In between the leaves will develop what we call trusses of flowers, these will develop into the tomato fruits, once they start developing you will need to feed the plant. A good plant food that is diluted with water is called Tomorite, other makes are available. This needs to be applied once or twice a week. As the plant grows it will need support and using canes or thick pieces of wood the plant can grow beyond 6 feet tall or two metres. Once you have about 6 trusses on the plant now is the time to nip the top out. This will help the fruit develop.
However, if you have a lot of room you could grow it as a bush. What you
Tomato plants are susceptible to white fly or red spider mite in a greenhouse, you can get parasitic wasps called Encarsia Formosa to eat the insects. Pots of basil and marigolds are said to help keep the insects away by their strong smell. The plants can develop yellowing on the leaves this is a sign of magnesium deficiency which can be dealt with by watering with Epsom salts. Other diseases range from botrytis (grey mould), if they are grown outdoors near potatoes, they can develop blight. This will destroy the plant and fruit. Chris Wright

Norfolk & Norwich Festival confirms festival will take place 17-30 May 2021
Daniel Brine, Artistic Director and Chief Executive of Norfolk & Norwich Festival has confirmed that the 2021 Festival will go ahead between 17 – 30 May this year. Following the government’s announcement on Monday 22 February, the Festival, which was due to start on 14 May, has pushed its start date back by just three days.
The 14-day event is set to be a specially created one-off adaptation including outdoor and socially distanced performance, art and music as well as a digital strand.
Daniel Brine said: “We are delighted to be able to say that the Festival is going ahead. We have been working for 12 months on a special Festival that could take place safely in COVID times and hope, subject to the scheduled easing of restrictions that we will be able to deliver on all our planning. We will be taking every responsible precaution, working with the local authorities and making the programme as safe and adaptable as we can. We will begin making performance announcements over the coming weeks and are sure there’s something within the programme that everyone will be able to enjoy.”
Mr Brine also revealed that the 2021 Festival organisers and partners will make the vast majority of the programme available on a free or ‘pay what you want’ basis.
“This is just one of several radical changes we’ve made in 2021. We’re aware that it has been a tremendously difficult year for everyone, in all sorts of ways. While it’s not a sustainable business model beyond this year, the approach allows as many people as possible the chance to access and enjoy the Festival and the collective experience and healing power that art and events of this nature bring. We’re able to do this in part due to the steadfast support of Arts Council England, Norwich City Council and Norfolk County Council. And we thank a number of wonderful sponsors and supporters who share our ambitions. We’re excited that we can begin our recovery from 17 May.”
The Festival will feature a programme of music, performance, visual arts and literature in venues and outdoor spaces across Norwich and Norfolk. All Festival events will be in line with government guidelines.

Local people help UK COVID-19 research pass one million participants
More than one million participants (1,075,000) have now taken part in COVID-19 research across the UK, the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) and NHS can proudly announce.
Local people across East Anglia have played an important role in reaching this remarkable milestone, with more than 32,000 participants taking part in nationally prioritised COVID-19 studies supported by the NIHR Clinical Research Network Eastern.
Since the onset of the pandemic, the NIHR has supported more than 180 studies into COVID-19 right across the country. Of these, more than 100 studies were also funded by the NIHR, amounting to more than £108 million given to dedicated COVID-19 research.
The milestone of one million participants has been achieved across England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales by members of the public, NHS doctors and nurses, NIHR research staff and researchers, regulators, life science companies, research funders and policy makers. Across the Eastern region, 16 NHS hospitals have supported and delivered this vital research by helping their patients to take part.
Their efforts have enabled world-leading research into therapeutics such as dexamethasone and tocilizumab, delivery of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine, and more.
Ground-breaking platform studies such as RECOVERY, PRINCIPLE and REMAP-CAP have all made a significant contribution to the

Surajit, who is one of the Norfolk residents who is taking part in a vaccine trial at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, said: “Everybody wants to try and do their bit, don’t they? Because I have type 2 diabetes and my background is Indian, I’m in a slightly higher risk category, so I couldn’t get too close to the frontline, but I really wanted to do something. Ultimately, we all benefit from research, so I’m glad I’ve taken part. Hopefully it will benefit mankind, and if the vaccine is approved for use it would be nice to know that I contributed.” Dr Helen Macdonald, Chief Operating Officer for the NIHR’s Clinical Research Network in the Eastern region, highlighted the importance of research to find vaccines for COVID-19: “We’re so grateful to Surajit and others who volunteer to take part in research, particularly such important vaccine trials. It’s only with their help, and that of our country’s extremely proficient research community, that we have been able to prove the safety and effectiveness of the COVID vaccines we already have and, hopefully, do the same for the latest ones in development.”
The campaign includes a series of video ‘thank yous’ to participants, researchers and NHS staff. These celebratory videos feature well-known figures including England’s Chief Medical Officer Prof. Chris Whitty and NHS England Chief Executive, Sir Simon Stevens, and draw attention to the incredible work and dedication that led to this research.

These discoveries have significantly improved outcomes for people who get the virus, especially those most at risk of becoming severely unwell and hospitalised. Without such significant support from the public, this vital research would not have been possible.
Thanking our local research and NHS heroes To coincide with the announcement of one million participants, the NIHR and NHS have jointly launched the #ResearchVsCovid ‘thank you’ campaign to celebrate the efforts of participants, researchers and healthcare professionals for their involvement in COVID-19 research. Local people are encouraged to join in with their own thank yous to anyone they know who has been involved in COVID research in some way.

Get your pet “summer ready” with Toll Barn Vets
With the recent Lockdowns many of our pets have gained a few extra pounds but don’t worry – Toll Barn Vets is here to help! Exercising is a great way of getting your pet active and also a great way of bonding with your pet. Regular exercise helps keep the heart and lungs healthy, build muscle, maintain a healthy weight and provide mental stimulation. Don’t forget exercise is not only for our canine pets; cats can be encouraged to exercise by playing with toys or using “treat balls” to give them their usual food ration, whilst rabbits can be encouraged to exercise with foraging games.
We understand it can be really difficult to monitor our pets weight and resist those appealing eyes asking for treats however, research from the Pet Food Manufacturers Association (PFMA) suggests 92% of owners were unaware that their pet was an unhealthy weight. This is important because as little as 20% extra weight can significantly increase the risk of diabetes, osteoarthritis, heart disease, respiratory disease and certain cancers.
We understand how time consuming and difficult it can be to help your pet achieve their target weight and even to work out if your pet needs to work on their waistline. Our friendly team of veterinary nurses are offering free of charge nutrition clinics for our patients which include body condition scoring, advice on diets and feeding as well as general health and exercise advice depending on your pets condition. The clinics are free and available for dogs, cats, rabbits and guinea pigs. If you are concerned about visiting the practice then we are also able to provide these appointments via telephone and video. To book an appointment with our friendly team please give us a call on 01692 407126
‘A light at the end of the tunnel…’
Pets, much like humans, come in many different shapes and sizes and relying on numbers can be dangerous. When assessing a pets weight it is not just the number on the scales which is important. It is equally as important to use a body condition score technique rather than just relying on the numbers. It is far better to use a body condition score which assesses characteristics such as ease of feeling the ribs and waistline to determine your pets ideal weight.
Age Concern (North Norfolk) continues to provide home-cooked lunches, delivered to older members of our local community. These meals are significantly subsidised and made possible through grants from local fund providers. The Trustees, Staff and Volunteers are grateful for this support, which has ensured we have been able to keep our Staff productively employed during this pandemic even though we had to temporarily close the Day Centre in Cremer Street to Client visits.
We also wish to thank our loyal Clients whom we continue to support and hope that soon we will all be able to meet up at the Day Centre for lunch, activities and a chat. It seems a long time since the Centre was able to operate at full capacity but with vaccinations progressing well and cases reducing week by week, there does seem to be a light at the end of what has been a very long and difficulty tunnel.
We all look forward with hope, that soon we will be able to welcome you back.
So look out for information about when we can re-open and if you feel that ‘Meals on Heels’ or a Befriending call may be beneficial for you or a loved one, then please phone Alison on 01263 821188 or email ageconcernad@gmail.com and she will make the necessary arrangements and advise you of Day Centre activities, prices and dates.
So until we are able to be together again, keep safe, stay well and we look forward to meeting up with you all, very soon.

Secret Centre Lemon Cupcakes
Now that we are allowed to meet up with friends in the garden and we have hopefully honed our baking skills over lockdown, here is a lovely recipe to go along with that cup of tea and a natter. Whenever I make these, people are very impressed with them and yet they are so easy and quick to make. Even if your piping skills are a little hit and miss, as Delia says, if good ingredients go into a cake it can’t help but taste delicious.
Ingredients 6oz/170g self-raising flour 6oz/170g caster sugar 6oz/170g softened butter
1.5 tsp baking powder 3 large free-range eggs Grated zest 2 large lemons 1.5 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice 1 jar of good lemon curd
For the buttercream 8oz/225g icing sugar 3.5 oz/100g softened butter 2 tsp lemon juice Lemon jelly decorations or yellow sprinkles to decorate if desired
Method Preheat the oven to 170C/325F/Gas 3. Line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper cases. Sift the flour and caster sugar into a large bowl, add the butter, baking powder, eggs, lemon zest and lemon juice and beat together with a hand mixer or food processor until light and fluffy.
Fill each paper case to about ¾ full with the mixture and place in the oven for 20 minutes or until springy to touch and golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Meanwhile make the buttercream. Beat together the icing sugar, lemon juice and butter until light and fluffy, you can adjust the texture with a little extra icing sugar if too wet or an extra teaspoon of lemon juice if too stiff. When the cakes are cold, take a core of sponge out of the middle of each one with a sharp knife and put to one side. Take care not to cut all the way through to the bottom. Fill each hole with a teaspoon of lemon curd (or pipe in the curd) and place the plugs of sponge back onto the cakes. Pipe or dollop a swirl of buttercream onto each cake and decorate as you wish. Best enjoyed with friends! Jo - Editor your home’s natural ambiance. You can also create some more uplifting aromas with our gorgeously scented St Eval Candles.
THE ART OF NATURAL CLEANING What scents bring back memories of your grandparents’ home?
For me, it’s Carbolic Soap that instantly reminds me of my Nan’s kitchen!
The big green bar would sit next to the scrubbing board in the lean-to, which also housed the outside loo and tin bath hanging on the wall.
Coming from a ‘modern’ council house in the 60s, it took me a long while to realise Nan didn’t have an inside bathroom in her Victorian terrace. Her lifestyle would now be considered
‘green’… but she wouldn’t have had any other choices.
What aromas will children today associate with their parents’ and grandparents’ homes when they look back, and will they consider their lifestyle to be eco-friendly? In these pandemic times, the overarching aroma is probably disinfectant!
However, why not try some more natural cleaning techniques?
Bicarbonate of soda mixed with natural lemon juice or lemon essential oil* makes a lovely, aromatic kitchen cleaner. Most citrus oils plus eucalyptus, pine and lavender essential oils have excellent cleaning qualities and enhance

North Norfolk Railway Plc.
Re opening plan for 2021
The North Norfolk Railway, based at Sheringham, is pleased to announce that under the current Government rulings it will reopen on 12th April 2021. There will be changes to its normal operation which will be as follows.
The period between Monday 12th April and Sunday 16th May will see a one train service operating between Sheringham and Holt four times daily. This train will consist of coaches with individual compartments ensuring that families/groups can travel in safety without having to mix with others. A compartment will be priced at £40 for 4 people if government restrictions allow an additional 2 persons can be added at £10 pp. Booking for these trains is already available on the website at www.nnrailway.co.uk
From 17th May to 23rd July, it is planned to operate a two-train service consisting of three Steam rotations and three Diesel Multiple Unit services.
C
During both periods trains will operate between Sheringham and Holt they will not stop at Weybourne or Kelling Heath during this period.
With the restrictions still in place pre-booking will be required; walk-ups will only be accepted if space is available and it is safe and legal to accept them. It is hoped that from 24th July a normal Red service operation of two Steam trains will be able to be put into operation.
The North Norfolk Railway is planning to host a small number of special events during the year which are planned to include: A Mixed Traction weekend 24/25th July. A full Steam Gala 3rd-5th September featuring the return of the N2 locomotive, the last gala appearance of the B12 before its major overhaul supported by the rest of the based Steam locomotives. There will be a scaled-down 1940s event over its usual weekend 17th-19th September followed on 30th October with and evening Ghost train. The Norfolk Lights Express is planned to return from 15th November though to 2nd January (with a break over the Christmas period) and Santa from 27th November until 24th December. Finally Mince Pie trains will operate from 27th December to 2nd January.
Discussions are ongoing regarding a visit from Thomas and a return of the Dads Army event.
Monthly Friday Night Bingo Sessions at Weybourne Village Hall
It is sad to report that after well over a decade of monthly Friday night Bingo Sessions in aid of the Harry Dawson Playing Field there are to be no more calls of ‘Eyes Down’ or ‘Full House!’ for this cause at Weybourne Village Hall.
Due to committee members’ increasing age and decreasing health, the Harry Dawson Playing Field Committee has been forced to disband.
In the Spring of 2020, the Parish Council took back responsibility for arranging maintenance and safety inspections at the children’s playing field, but the committee and loyal band of helpers, continued to run Bingo sessions to support the ongoing costs until prevented by the current WANT A SWEETER DEAL ON YOUR INSURANCE? restrictions.
Since then, a total of £6,677 has been transferred to the Parish Council to be ring-fenced for much needed improvement to the equipment at the site in Beck Close, which is showing its age and a clear need for updating.

We wish to say a massive thank you to all our supporters and players, past and present for helping to raise such a magnificent sum.
It is hoped to form a team to obtain grant funding and continue fund raising on an ‘ad hoc’ basis for the necessary improvements.
Anyone interested in helping on a voluntary basis is encouraged to contact Weybourne Parish Council’s Clerk or Chairman.

Neonicotinoid – Update!
Further to my article published in several North Norfolk periodicals last month which outlined the Government’s removal of the ban on neonicotinoids, I can now offer the following update.
The UK Government banned bee-killing pesticides called neonicotinoids in 2018. At that time they resisted industry pressure to make any exceptions to the ban. This changed earlier this year when the Government allowed sugar beet producers in England to once again use seeds treated with the highly toxic neonic thiamethoxam on an emergency basis.
are extremely hazardous to bees and other pollinators. Since this scientific advice was given to Government, it has emerged that they are also damaging to animals living in our water courses into which they leach.
Insects play a vital role in the food chain – it is estimated that around 30% of the food we eat relies on pollination - mainly by bees.
I wrote last month to declare by disappointment that these damaging chemicals can once again be used in England even though it was under emergency circumstances.
not now authorise neonicotinoid use under its ‘emergency derogation’ to sugar beet farmers in 2021.
It is important to note however, that this is only a stay of execution. It does not change the underlying issue - that neonicotinoid use could be allowed in the future.
Whilst it is important to support the farming community and to protect sugar beet production – it is crucial that longer-term, more sustainable solutions are found that don’t rely upon dangerous chemicals which are proven to harm our native bees and pollinators. I shall be watching closely for the Government’s next move on this issue.
I am delighted and relieved to report that after the cold snap we all experienced in February, that the use of these nasty chemicals will not There is a stack of scientific evidence, be needed this year. The cold weather has Cllr Nigel Lloyd, North Norfolk District including from the Government’s own meant that the risk to sugar beet has diminished Council, Holt Road, Cromer.

The average household throws away £700 worth of food every year and at the same time 4 million people in the UK are living in food poverty. Most food waste in the UK is avoidable and could have been eaten had it been better managed.

Weather Forecast
April is likely to continue the mixed conditions of the past three months with wild swings in temperature and a good chance of wintry conditions in the first 10 days including frosts. Average daytime temperatures 10-13 but if you are in the sun and out of the wind it will begin to feel quite warm.
May will offer more in the way of warmer settled conditions as the mass of cold air in the northern hemisphere which created so many record-breaking cold events is whittled away although the process will be slow. Average daytime temperatures 13-15.
June will continue the improvement in conditions and temperature as the colder air further retreats northwards. First real warm days will begin to show their hand now and again. Average daytime temperatures 15-17

Do your eyes give your age away?
Erase signs of ageing, safely and quickly. Latest treatments at the Coltishall Cosmetic Clinic.
Effects of ageing skin gradually creep up. You feel good but the mirror tells a different story! Women and men believe the body part that most reveals their age is the eye area, followed by hands and facial skin. OK, you have tried botox but it can only do so much. Although it is a wonderful tool in experienced hands, it is not going to address all the changes that occur with ageing.
How can we help you reduce first signs of ageing around the eye area? There are three main changes that occur with ageing. Loss of volume, loss of skin elasticity causing sagging skin and sun damage that affects the skin quality. Essentially we can address all three elements of ageing resulting in total rejuvenation and natural looking results.
Careful use of botox and fillers or fat injection can restore volume reduce dynamic wrinkles formed by muscle over activity. Another revolutionary technique has been tear trough rejuvenation with hyaluronic acid fillers such as restylane. New injection methods now allow us to achieve excellent results without any bruising or downtime. Your own fat is an excellent filler to provide volume even in eyebrows and temporal hollows.
01603 736487
We can use lasers to create a new skin and reduce and reverse sun damage. This is only possible with a laser treatment. Finally if required we can use surgery to lift the brows or remove excess eyelid skin.
How do you perform eyelid skin tightening or skin removal to address more advanced changes of skin ageing? Eyelid skin tightening remains a very popular procedure. Blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery is one of the most popular cosmetic surgical procedures worldwide. Ageing changes in this area are almost universal. We also perform brow lift surgery.
With our technique the procedure is performed under pure local anaesthesia. We have also learned that fat removal is to be avoided unless there is obvious prolapse or bulging of the fat pads. This provides a natural look. Use of local anaesthesia allows a quick recovery whilst use of the laser reduces bleeding allowing a much faster recovery and minimal bruising. Although the scar is very fine and placed in a natural eyelid crease, we can also use the laser a few weeks after the procedure to further improve the surgical scar if required.

Dealing with estate debts
by Anna French, Chartered Legal Executive, Hayes + Storr If you are an executor of an estate, your duties involve not only dealing with the assets of the deceased, but also any debts that have been left behind. Any estate may have debts, even if the deceased was wealthy – it is reported that Michael Jackson died with around $500 million worth of debt.
It is the duty of the executors to make sure debts are repaid.
Impact of debts on beneficiaries Naturally, if an estate includes debts, this will reduce the amount that is available for distribution to the beneficiaries.
If the estate is solvent, there will be sufficient funds to pay all debts, but the amount the beneficiaries receive will be reduced. If the estate is insolvent and the debts outweigh the assets, then the beneficiaries will not receive anything.
As an executor you should keep the beneficiaries informed and manage their expectations about what they will inherit.
For a solvent estate Once estate debts have been paid, you will need to think about the beneficiaries. A legal procedure called abatement applies
wherever assets are insufficient to pay all the legacies in full. If this is the case, the residuary beneficiaries will not receive anything, as the payment of legacies takes priority over the residue of the estate.
A ‘residuary beneficiary’ is a beneficiary who has been left a percentage of what's left over in the estate after all legacies (specific gifts and sums of money to named individuals) have been distributed and all debts and expenses have been settled.
debts. This order is set out in law and it is important that you understand the difference between the types of debt as well as the order itself.
For example, you might leave £10,000 to your niece and an antique vase to your best friend (legacies) and leave your residuary estate, which could include your property, to your partner.
Personal debt cannot normally be inherited, providing the debt was incurred in the sole name of the deceased. But there are exceptions, such as if the debt was guaranteed by a third party or if the deceased had gifted money close to their death which could be seen as an attempt to avoid payment to creditors from the estate.
When dealing with an insolvent estate, you need to follow a strict order for paying
This article is for general information only and does not constitute legal or professional advice. Please note that the law may have changed since this article was published.
An insolvent estate If an estate is insolvent, the available assets are insufficient to pay all the debts of the deceased. As executor, you must obtain full details of all those debts. You should also consider placing statutory notices to creditors in a local newspaper and the London Gazette. This would provide protection if any further unknown creditors come forward in the future.
If you are worried about any aspect of an estate for which you have been asked to act as executor or administrator, we can offer you expert assistance, whether you are yet to begin the process or are already well on your way. Call 01263 825959 and ask to speak to someone in our private client department.

CHOOSE THE WORLD YOU WANT
Fairtrade is a global movement for change and in 2021 the focus of Fairtrade fortnight was for us to “Choose the world you want”.
Mary Cundy from Wells Quaker Meeting a Traidcraft rep. and member of WAFT (Wells Action for FairTrade), spoke via zoom for Sheringham’s Sustainability Saturday in March.
Mary explained many farmers who are growing products we love to consume, such as bananas, cocoa, and tea, are already experiencing the effects of climate change and finding it hard to meet basic needs for themselves and their families.
More products can be ordered online via the Traidcraft Catalogue or through a local representative. In Sheringham, Jean Parton at the Methodist Church is one of the local contacts. Other company’s actively supporting Fairtrade include Coop, Lidl, Ben and Jerry’s and Oxfam.
Look for the Fairtrade logo on products
Fairtrade, guarantees a minimum price and a Fairtrade premium which the producers can use not only to improve their own lives but also that of the community. The changes help encourage young adults to stay in the local area to work.
Children are suffering with poor nutrition, lack of education and healthcare, as families cannot afford the cost.
Producers are already having to adapt their farming practises because of climate change in the global south, which all adds to production We are part of 1% of the world’s population who consumes costs.

The Gallery and Museum are very popular tourist attractions, but we will only open when it is safe for Volunteers and Visitors. We would love to hear from you if you are interested in volunteering the please contact: Peter Strudwick, Chairman, Sheringham and District Society 01263 823657 peterstrudwick@gmail.com
Weybourne Horticultural Show
It has been a very difficult and disappointing year for those of us who organise and run local community events. With the initial lockdown in early 2020 and subsequent various stages of area restrictions it was impossible to stage any kind of event with certainty and safely.
This year, 2021, has started in a similar vein, with uncertainty as to when and what activities will be allowed, particularly for such events as our Show. The show requires a large amount of and organisation and expenditure, and support from the community.
So with this in mind the Show Committee have decided that it will not be possible to stage the Show this year. Many people will be very disappointed at this, the Show had become a Summer Calendar event, but with the uncertainty of the current time, we really had no choice. The Committee will reconvene in early 2022 to decide on the way forward.

Given the national position and the increasing demand for health professionals and scientists, we are branching out and offering the same fantastic package to young people interested in health careers. We've spoken to a wide range of employers in the health sector and UEA and have used this research to devise a really exciting programme that will prepare young people for careers in the sector and - crucially help them to find the niche that appeals to them.'
Get a Career in Health!
The pandemic has changed everything. And one of the things that has changed is young people's career choices.
Every night on TV, students have seen how crucial the NHS is and how fulfilling health careers can be. This has translated to a surge in applications for health courses. UCAS, the university admissions service, has reported a 32% increase in applications for nursing and significant rises in interest for other health careers.
To help Norfolk students get into these careers, Norwich based University Technical College Norfolk (UTCN) has introduced a new Health Futures Programme. This two-year course is aimed at current Year 11 students who are looking to progress to Sixth Form study and commences in September 2021.
Alex Hayes, Headteacher, said: ‘For several years now, we have been sending our students

‘Our programme mixes relevant academic study with practical work experience and extensive employer involvement. It is designed to show young the wide range of opportunities available and to help them to find their niche. It will prepare them for apprenticeships or progression to university.'
The Health Futures course is the equivalent of 3 A-level and provides access to either apprenticeships or university courses in the

health and health science areas. UTCN is based in Old Hall Road, Norwich and will be holding an open event on the 19th of June. UTCN has an impressive student success rate; in 2020, 60% of its students left to take up apprenticeships or full-time employment, and the other 40% went on to take a place at university or other places of further education.
Alex Hayes said: ‘We are delighted with the take-up of places so far. If any young person is interested in a health career, but perhaps unsure of exactly where that might take you, I would urge you to come and talk to us. There are so many hundreds of varied careers available.'

North Norfolk Photographic Society
North Norfolk Photographic Society lives – and many thanks go to Zoom!
The club held a competition intended to be the second Prints competition, but adapted to a digital competition judged and viewed via the internet. The specified topic was ‘People’ which caused some grumbling among the wild-life experts and the landscape specialists – but in the event there were 77 competing entries.
Bricklayer by Lizzie Wallis
The judge, who did not have to travel up from Beccles, was Michael Lloyd and he patiently commented on every image. He was asked to appoint one Gold (winner), one Silver and one Bronze and also was free to allot Highly Commended and Commended to some runners-up.

The Gold award went to Paul Richards for ‘Cart Wallah Taking a Break’. No doubt taken on his photographic tour of India, this showed an Indian chap with his load, taking a break. Silver was for Lizzie Wallis and ‘Bricklayer’ - another Indian with a load of bricks – taken when she and Paul Richards were in India. And for Bronze, Andy Bamforth’s ‘Riders’ - a troop of horses and riders galloping across a beach.

Software rolled out that truly helps the front line
With both forces looking to their future front line policing plans as the new financial year begins, one investment from 2020 that has had a truly successful outcome is a new software application named OPTIK.
This application, which is accessible to frontline police officers remotely on a tablet or phone, searches across multiple policing systems at the push of a button. The access given ensures the right information, exactly when needed and enables more informed, reasoned decisions to be made based on details and background which is immediately available.
Functions within the new software include the scanning of fingerprints of suspected offenders on the street enabling the identification and arrest of wanted criminals. Officers will be able to plug in a small fingerprint reader to their device and OPTIK will return results from immigration and criminal databases within a minute or two. This particular function has already seen great success in pilot trials and has helped officers to bring offenders immediately off the streets who may otherwise have evaded justice.
With over 1750 people across both forces able
to use the software licences at any one time, the new application is seen as something that provides the most benefit to our communities. It is both more efficient and more effective than paper-based solutions, which often involved lost time and double keying, and officers who have access to OPTIK will now use it over many existing processes
ACC Simon Megicks, who led on the introduction of the project, welcomed this final rollout, saying:
"OPTIK, is a mobile policing solution for Norfolk that offers a wide range of ‘on the job’ functions, saving frontline officers’ time and assisting them in completing numerous policing tasks.
"My aim with this project was always to offer officers a valuable resource which would assist them greatly in their day-to-day role yet also assist the public and with this final rollout I believe we have achieved this.
"OPTIK is an intuitive application with a simple dashboard-based design. Once you are logged in, all the functions are available from the buttons on the dashboard. We could not have achieved this investment in policing
without the support of our Police and Crime Commissioners for which I am grateful.”
Norfolk Police and Crime Commissioner Lorne Green said: "To tackle the crime affecting our communities in the 21st century, we need to look at the 21st century technology available to us.
"I believe strongly that modern technology will drive improvements in investigations, proactive patrolling, the protection of vulnerable people and management of offenders. Having a mobile and accessible workforce will also help to improve visibility of our police service and investment in digital policing makes it easier for people to contact the police wherever they are in the county.
"I pledged to ensure that our police have the necessary tools so they can operate more productively, efficiently and safely and so we can build resilience for the future face of policing and so I welcome the roll-out of this technology across the county.”
Sheringham RNLI Shop Re-opens
For further information, do call into the High Street Shop once it opens. You will be made very welcome. Phil Hawes, Chairman RNLI Sheringham
The RNLI Shop in Sheringham High Street will open again on the 12th of April. Carolyn Price, the volunteer manager, is much looking forward to welcoming back her volunteer colleagues and the public. Thanks to the support of local people and visitors, last year the shop was top of all the RNLI shops in the UK. It has now been fully re-stocked with the new season's range of RNLI products, and everyone is raring to go.

The RNLI is a national charity that relies wholly on public subscription. The RNLI has maintained a lifeboat in Sheringham continuously since 1867. It is a proud tradition. All in the Sheringham RNLI community are volunteers, be they shop workers, boat crew, shore crew or administrators. All, in equal measure, give their time to the cause of saving lives. There is a role for everybody. New volunteers of all ages over 16 are always needed and new volunteers to join our very successful shop staff are particularly needed as summer approaches.

Among the other interesting subjects which “thecatgroup” offers advice about is Cats and the Law and the benefits of neutering kittens at four months old, something that Cats Protection is committed to. The website provides useful information for cat owners old and new and is one I regularly refer to.
North Walsham and District Branch of Cats Protection
Obviously, we are delighted when people choose to give one of our cats a new home but realise that we do not always have one that fits a person’s lifestyle. If we cannot help, other branch of Cats Protection or another charity (RSPCA for instance) may have something suitable. We do, however, still want everyone to have a good experience when offering a home to a cat, be it pedigree or moggy and will therefore continue to advise people to be cautious when buying on-line.
Ollie, 6-7 years old recently arrived in care via the vets
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 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.
Another instance of unscrupulous people offering a pet for sale on one of these websites came to our attention when Stephanie recently received another call. This time a very distressed caller advised her that they had bought a kitten on-line which had health problems from the first day in its new home. Unfortunately, after several visits to the vets the poor little kitten had to be euthanised. All the family had to show for their experience was a vet bill.
If you are looking for a cat or kitten (or have any other queries) please give Stephanie a call on 01692 535858. Alternatively, you can visit www.northwalsham.cats.org.uk/ for a description and photographs of the cats before giving us a call on the above number to find out where any particular cat is being fostered.
Looking at the websites it is obvious from the prices being asked that the sellers are more interested in making money from the cats than caring for them. If you have decided you would like to offer a home to a cat or kitten, a good place to find lots of advice is the thecatgroup.org.uk website. This has lots of very useful information (including a Kitten Check List) and has been produced by a collection of professional organisations dedicated to feline welfare, including all the major charities involved in cat rescue. The Kitten Check List would be especially useful for someone considering purchasing a pedigree kitten and hopefully, by reading this, they will avoid being “sold a pup”! Many of the kittens sold on-line as pedigrees do not appear to have been registered with GCCF or one of the other bodies working to ensure that pedigree kittens meet the breed standards. Reputable breeders will also sell kittens at a lower price if they do not want them to be used for breeding, thus ensuring the characteristics of the breed are maintained and health problems avoided.
We are now on Facebook. You can find us under Cats Protection North Walsham
Hedgehog Haven
Many of the hogs have now been released, but two more have already been admitted, Paddy was covered in ticks, an abundance of ticks can make a hog anaemic, so meds are needed. Also, little Hope found out during the day underweight and suffering from lungworm.
The first week of May is Hedgehog Awareness Week, hedgehogs have been added to the red list for British Mammals & classed as vulnerable to extinction, complying with government Covid rules of outdoors & social distancing, I should be at NW Garden Centre, Norwich Rd, on Sunday 2nd and Monday 3rd May from 10am to 3pm with information & advice on our spiky garden visitor.

witnessed in the subject. I love the process of painting people and of how they can suddenly appear in front of me. Sometimes it feels almost miraculous. I love colour too and feel that dynamic arrangements of colour are one of the great gifts that the artist can give to their audience. The colour in a painting never stops resonating and radiating; it keeps on giving and broadcasting to the world."
Susan Purser Hope. Elected Chair of the Contemporary Glass Society, Susan Purser Hope ran her Midlands based commercial interior design consultancy for many years until changing direction in 2005 when she returned to University to study glass making. In 2013 she moved to North Norfolk, fulfilling a lifetime's ambition to live by the sea. Her latest collection of glass art is inspired by her passion for the circus. Her work features fused and painted forms that hold secrets and stories, creating explosions of potent, dynamic colour and shapes in a three-dimensional format. Susan can testify that life is never dull within the world of glass.

Keith Tutt. Keith paints for two reasons: for the rich and joyous experiences he has when working on paintings; and for the potential connection that the painting can make with the viewer. "I know what I have received from the paintings that I have loved throughout my life and I wish to communicate and contribute to others in the same way," he says.

shows. John continues to enjoy working on private commissions for portraits. John works mainly in oils. After doing careful drawings of his subjects, he works quickly, layering colours on top of one another to create depth in his paintings. His work consists of portraiture, still life and landscapes and his paintings have an individual, period feeling to them. He was a close friend of art historian, the late Princess Fevsi Luli Huda and spent many hours with her drawing and debating art, technique, colour and the human skeleton.

Project launched to prevent digital exclusion for people with cancer A project has been launched to make sure patient groups at risk of digital exclusion are not overlooked.
safe areas in hospitals for cancer care and treatment. The NHS has been doing all it can to make sure that patients receive the lifesaving care they need.
NHS Norfolk and Waveney Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) has commissioned Healthwatch Norfolk to undertake a project which aims to capture patient experience, focusing initially on people affected by cancer. This project is kindly being supported by Healthwatch Suffolk to ensure inclusion of patients who live in the Waveney area.
The organisation is exploring patients’ perception and experiences of virtual consultations via a public survey, which can be completed by contacting Healthwatch Norfolk by phone or email. Alternatively, the survey can be completed online. The survey will attempt to understand: • Whether people with cancer have had a virtual consultation • Whether the consultation met their needs • Their overall experience • Which individuals or communities are being digitally excluded • Potential improvements that could be made to enable digital access to primary and secondary cancer care consultations • Respondents’ experience of signposting to “Digital Havens”
“But with the rapid rise in the use of digital technologies being used in both cancer treatment and support, we want to ensure people are not left behind and the right information and support is in place for those who need it. We are really keen to hear from people about their experiences of virtual consultations. Did these meet your needs? How easy or difficult where they to access and how can we better plan services that meet people’s needs.”
Maggie added: “We also know that some people have put off seeking medical help about any new or worrying symptoms during the Covid-19 pandemic. The NHS is here to safely care for you so please don’t delay – Help Us Help You and come forward as you usually would.
“We know that finding cancer early gives us the best chance to cure it and ignoring potential problems can have serious consequences now or in the future.”
Regarding the launch of the project, Alex Stewart, Healthwatch Norfolk CEO commented: “We have seen more transformation of health and care services in the last few months than we have seen in over four decades of integrated health and social care policy initiatives. COVID-19 has driven some fantastic examples of joined-up working across the NHS and local government, with herculean efforts and rapid innovations deployed at pace to rapidly safeguard patients and support staff. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a huge impact on the way cancer patients attend appointments and it is vital that digital support is employed effectively to support the delivery of life-saving care.”
Through this piece of targeted engagement, Healthwatch Norfolk aims to raise public awareness of the support services available as well as facilitate work with service providers to enable better engagement with people with additional needs. The findings for Waveney will be shared with Healthwatch Suffolk.
Maggie Tween, Norfolk and Waveney Cancer Programme Manager from the CCG, said: “The COVID-19 pandemic has led to big changes in the way that people access health and care services. NHS staff have gone above and beyond to care for people during the pandemic and have also worked hard to ensure people can safely access essential services such as cancer checks and urgent surgery. This has included the use of online consultations, virtual clinics, and Covid-protected
