Our April meeting will be on Thursday 13th April at 2 30pm Brian Reehl will give us a talk on the Sheringham Hedgehog Hotel Everyone is welcome

For further information please contact Anne Barker (01263) 824887 or annebarker@paston co uk

Sheringham Hedgehog Hotel

In March, depending on the weather, hedgehogs will begin to emerge from hibernation. They could have been hibernating since November and during this time will have potentially lost a third of their body weight

If you’re not already putting food and water out for visiting hedgehogs, this is the perfect time to start putting out supplementary food and plenty of water as they will be extremely thirsty and hungry

In our garden, we put out a meat based dry kitten food, as it is high in the protein they need. Place it in a shallow dish in a sheltered area or feeding station that is difficult for anything larger than a hedgehog to access We use an upturned plastic storage box with a 13cm hole in the side, a brick on top and a large flowerpot just outside to deter cats

Remember, out during the day is not okay Please contact your local rescue if you find a struggling hedgehog or have any concerns Valentine pictured, was found out in the day on February 14th looking wobbly and brought in She’s halfway through her medication for lungworm and roundworm and has gone from 275g to 452g

You can contact Sheringham Hedgehog Hotel on 07941 381 438 or phone the British Hedgehog Preservation Society on 01584 890801 to find your nearest rescue centre

Sheringham in Bloom

Could you spare one hour a week if you are interested in gardening? Sheringham in Bloom is looking for anyone who could join our small group of volunteers that plant and maintain the flower beds and planters in Sheringham that do so much to enhance our fantastic town

Sheringham in Bloom has been going for over 25 years and over that time our volunteers have got older or had medical problems and we desperately need to refresh our volunteer group. The work is not onerous and is actually enjoyable and sociable

We meet every Wednesday morning between 8 30 and 9 30 and that small amount of time helps us maintain Ottendorf Green, Health Centre, Roundabout, Wymondham Street and other areas around the town

If you are interested, please contact Mike Clayton on 01263 823350 and leave a message

Customers

Bring your own Detergent & Change

It has now been two years since I began working at Age Concern North Norfolk and one of the goals set for me by the trustees was to increase our profile in North Norfolk through expanding our range of networks

I am pleased to say that the services that we offer in our day centre and our meal delivery scheme have become our success story to the extent that we are preparing up to 40 meals per day and we have around 50 people attending sessions across the four days that we are open

Two special events have been held at The Lighthouse recently – the Dementia Engagement Day and ‘Sheringham Helps’ which brought the community and general public in to find out about all the support that is on offer in this area We had a stand displaying all our activities which included the Magic Interactive Table and our robotic cat Tabitha (who I could have sold several times over!) While I can acknowledge that the vast majority of organisations represented at these events was well aware of Age Concern North Norfolk, there are still people who do not know what we do or think we are an advice organisation like AgeUK

I will continue to write these articles, which go into every household in North Norfolk, as they keep people informed far better than I can ever do on my own

Buying a Property with Cash

by Nic Sheldrake, Property Director, Hayes + Storr

If you’re searching for a new home, you may have come across the term ‘cash buyers only ’ In these cases, the agent is looking to sell to someone who does not need to borrow money and can proceed quickly

There can be distinct advantages to being a cash buyer, or selling to one, however, it is important to be clear on what this actually means

What is a cash buyer?

A cash buyer is someone who can finance their purchase without a mortgage or selling another property They must have enough money available to buy the property at the time they make the offer Having proof of your funds to hand will boost your credibility and help speed up the process

If you are selling your home, your estate agent should confirm how the proposed buyer will pay for it Ask yours how they will verify a buyer ’s status

What are the advantages of being a cash buyer?

Cash buyers can proceed more quickly because they do not have to wait for a mortgage or for their own sale to complete. As a cash buyer, you may be able to negotiate a lower price or negotiate other benefits

Cash buyers will also find it easier to buy at auction or buy properties considered unmortgageable, for example, ones of non-standard construction or which have structural or title problems

Keeping you and your investment safe

All sellers and buyers must provide proof of their identity and address to comply with anti-money laundering regulations The requirements will depend upon your solicitor and whether you are meeting them face-toface You should have your current passport or photocard driving licence and a recent council tax or utility bill available as this will help avoid delay

As a purchaser you will need to show the source of your funds not only to the agents but also your solicitor who will need to confirm your funds are from a legitimate source This is to comply with legislation aimed at reducing criminal activity For example, if you are funding your purchase from savings, they will ask to see bank statements showing regular payments into your account and your savings building up

Due diligence

Cash buyers should be wary of any pressure

to complete before they are ready Be cautious about dispensing with any of the recommended searches or investigations into title. Your solicitor can advise you of the risks involved and if necessary, ways of mitigating this, for example by taking out indemnity insurance

Be wary of so-called buy any property companies, which regularly advertise on the internet or in local media While some are genuine, others are only middlemen for third party investors Others may use dubious tactics such as making an initial high offer then reducing it before the sale goes through

How we can help

For further information on any aspect of the home buying process, please contact Nic Sheldrake in the residential property team on 01263 825959 or email nic sheldrake@hayes-storr com

Non surgical and minimally invasive options for

treatment of varicose veins

Endovenous laser therapy is a quick, minimally invasive alternative to traditional vein stripping. Endovenous laser therapy using painless laser is a relatively new outpatient treatment that can be performed under local anaesthesia in less than an hour

Varicose veins occur when the vein is not functioning properly to return blood from the lower leg to the heart Each vein has a series of valves that open to allow the flow of blood to the heart, and close to prevent backflow (otherwise known as “reflux”) of blood back into the foot

The walls and valves of veins are thin and elastic, and can stretch due to a variety of conditions including pregnancy, heredity injuries, inflammation and age

Approximately half of the population has some form of venous disease, and varicose veins affect about one out of two people age 50 and older, and 15-25% of all adults

Previously, treatment of painful, swollen varicose veins required a surgical procedure called vein stripping, where the vein was completely

Sheringham & District RBL

Sheringham & District Branch of the Royal British Legion's next meeting is on Monday 3rd April at The Tyneside Club at 7 30pm All welcome

Keep the date for the rest of the year ’s meetings:

Monday 14th May 7.30pm

Monday 5th June 7 30pm

Monday 3rd July 7 30pm

Monday 4th September 7 30pm

Monday 2nd October 7 30pm

Monday 6th November 7 30pm - AGM

Monday 4th December 7.30pm

removed from the leg More recently, endovenous laser therapy has been developed Bulging varicose veins in the lower leg are usually caused by a faulty valve located higher in the leg: that can’t be seen at the surface. The endovenous laser therapy treats the source of the problem, which then causes the varicose vein in the lower leg to shrink and disappear Laser energy heats the vein from within, causing it to shrink, collapse and seal shut Patients experience minimal discomfort, and they can return to normal activities the same day

Because there are many veins in the leg, the blood that would have flowed through the closed vein simply flows through other healthy veins after the laser therapy

Coltishall Clinic also offers minimally invasive and non-invasive sclerotherapy and lasers to treat varicose and spider veins

Coltishall Clinic

Cromer & Sheringham Probus Club

On Tuesday 7 February, after a tasty lunch, the award-winning publisher Peter Stibbons gave a talk on aspects of Cromer ’s history. He first took us back 8,000 years ago, when Doggerland, an area of land that connected Britain to continental Europe and containing large areas of Norfolk, was devastated by a great tsunami and submerged beneath the North Sea, causing Cromer to become a coastal area

Next, Peter told us about the discovery of 600,000-year-old mammoth bones at the base of the cliffs in the Cromer Forest Bed at West Runton in 1990, which led to a full-scale excavation in 1995 We then experienced a huge jump in time as Peter explained that the name ‘Cromer ’ does not appear until the thirteenth century, the area having previously been known as ‘Shipden’

Cromer became a seaside resort in the early 1800s, some of the wealthy Norwich banking families making it their summer home The great storm of 1836 prompted the decision to build the first promenade in the 1840s The old jetty was washed away three times in the 1800s, eventually replaced by the late-Victorian pier we enjoy today The railway did not arrive until 1877 Much of Cromer Church today is essentially a Victorian reconstruction Peter displayed many pictures of Cromer, showing how the town had changed through the years

On behalf of the 27 members present, our Chairman, John Rattle, thanked Peter for his fascinating talk

On 4 April Paul Rundle will speak to us about “Hitler ’s Spies in the UK” and on 2 May Wally Webb’s talk will be entitled “On the Radio”. More information about the club can be seen on our website at www candsprobus club or you can call Dave Vickery on 01263 824306

A Ray of Hope for Earthquake Victims

Sheringham photographer, Chris Taylor, captured the freezing mist of dawn rolling off the land at Cromer which has proved to be a big hit online

Following enquiries to purchase prints Chris has decided to donate 50% of any sales of the print to the Red Cross

Turkey-Syria Earthquake appeal

The image was taken using a drone, at the maximum 120m altitude at around 7:30am on Valentine’s Day, as the sun rose and the icy cold mist rolled off the land, obscuring much of Cromer apart from the pier & the church tower. Since it was Valentine’s Day it seems appropriate that the image should be used to spread some love and help those suffering the devastating effects of the earthquake in Turkey

"I had been up since 3am, unable to sleep, so after getting some work done, at around 6am (still dark and 2°C outside, I decided to take the drone over to Cromer for sunrise to see what I could get I hadn’t expected the rolling fog and from ground level the visibility was very poor but up in the air the drone captured a different view, one which has captured people’s imagination online with some lovely comments and requests for prints "

As ever it has been a busy month focusing on community work around North Norfolk Herewith are a number of highlights of what I’ve been up to around the area

Victory Homes

The state of our social housing has been brought to my attention and I have been concerned about the number of damp and mould cases brought to me I have a meeting with the Chief Executive of Victory Housing and will be taking forward my overall concerns, including the numbers of homes being sold off If you are having issues with outstanding repairs or mould and damp, please do get in touch with my office so we can help you

North Walsham Jobs Fair

In early January I worked with the North Walsham DWP office to help local people try and find a new job opportunity We held a jobs fair on the 13th January in North Walsham Community Centre. This saw 25 businesses and job providers talk to over 200 people

A resounding success!

More Mental Health Funding

I was very happy with the further investment announced for mental health funding across the country, with Norfolk and Waveney due to directly benefit from the money This is an area that I've campaigned on tirelessly, to ensure our

services receive the investment they need I was incredibly proud when I managed to persuade the local NHS to support mental health clinics at Cromer hospital, offering much-needed care to people in North Norfolk Clifton Park - Cromer

I'm sure many were considerably concerned when the news broke about the land clearance at Clifton Park in Cromer An area which presumably was home to many species of animals and plants and cleared, as I understand completely without professionals first assessing the site I was quick to act on this, writing almost immediately to North Norfolk District Council, The Norfolk Wildlife Trust, and the Environment Agency My letter has been seen by the Chair of Natural England and the case is being looked into further We missed out on Levelling Up Money

I am very disappointed that NNDC have lost out on four consecutive Levelling Up and Community Renewal Fund bids I have written to the council expressing my views and want us to plan now, to find ambitious and imaginative projects that will win government approval. I had wanted the important Holway

Steeple Court, Middlebrook Way, Off Holt Road, Cromer, NR27 9JR

Yes Self Storage

Rooms

Road/A149 roundabout to be included in the bid which would improve safety on one of our main roads and ease summer congestion I have subsequently met with the road’s Minister to take this forward

If you have problems that I can take up for you, please do not hesitate to contact my office at duncan@duncanbaker org uk

Power to Ukraine

Duncan Baker and a Team of Constituents Deliver 112 Generators to Ukraine

On Sunday 12th February 2023, a team of six North Norfolk residents and Duncan Baker MP, in three transit vans, set off on the 2,000mile journey to Ukraine to deliver 112 generators and other aid, to those suffering in the war

Just before Christmas, Putin began bombing civilian targets and energy infrastructures causing blackouts in homes across Ukraine and leaving many without light, heat and power. This spurred the team to begin raising funds in order to provide generators

The people of North Norfolk and from wider Norfolk responded phenomenally and raised £18,500 in online donations Some people chose to donate their unused generators, and some bought generators to specifically donate to the cause It was an incredible outcome and one that is greatly appreciated.

Once in Lviv, in Western Ukraine, the group met up with the military aid organisation run by Svitlana Legka that was suggested by Anna Kolomiichuck,

the Ukrainian lady that Duncan Baker MP has hosted and supported since the beginning of the war They explained that the generators would be going to schools, orphanages, hospitals and other vulnerable people who are the in the worst hit areas of Ukraine Whilst staying in Lviv overnight, the air raid siren was activated, and many hotel guests were moved to the basement for cover The following morning it was confirmed that energy infrastructure just outside of the city was hit Upon their return journey, Duncan Baker took a lady, her 10-year-old daughter, and their pet Marty, the French Bulldog back to England in his van, to provide them safe passage whist fleeing the country after their home was destroyed They are now being hosted by a family in Guildford

The team of 7 included Duncan Baker MP, Rob Scammell, Paul East, Jayne Morton, Michelle Foulkes, Leon Calder and Anna Kolomiichuck

They returned home safely but exhausted on Saturday 18th February.

Duncan Baker and the team wish to express their thanks “We cannot thank our constituents enough for their generosity in helping us take aid to Ukraine It was a long and tiring journey, but the chance to support and help those in desperate need once again puts North Norfolk on the map Thank you to everyone who made a donation, we could not have done this without you.”

Duncan Baker MP Member of Parliament for North Norfolk

Top Tips with Toll Barn Vets - Exotic Birds Housing

If you keep or are thinking of keeping birds at home you might find the following advice useful.

Most species of bird benefit from a large aviary, providing shelter from in summer as well as heating protection from poor weather conditions in winter, an indoor cage with access to an outdoor aviary can provide the best of both worlds

If you plan on taming your pet bird and keeping them in an indoor cage, at a minimum, your bird needs to be able to fully extend its wings in all directions, but the bigger the cage the better in most respects If housed indoors birds should, where possible, be allowed out of their cage to fly and exercise around the house but always under supervision

It’s not only great for their muscles but also great for their brains, providing much mental stimulation but a word of caution, also make sure house is secure, checking all doors and windows are closed before allowing your bird the freedom to explore

● Make sure all cage ornaments/toys are bird safe and zinc/lead free Having a selection so that you can change and rotate them can prevent boredom by adding some variation

Changing the cage lay out and varying perch options can also help keep them occupied and puzzle feeders can be a fun addition, either homemade or purchased

Access to natural light and/or plementary UV from a bird lamp ve the cage is essential for vitamin/ eral uptake UV bulbs should be changed y 6-12months as they come less effective with time

● Birds should have access to natural bird-safe wood for chewing and perches should be non-abrasive and vary in width to allow for comfortable foot grips to be selected and help prevent the development of pododermatitis

● Birds should have access to fresh water at all times

● Birds should be housed in appropriate groups; there are species that are solitary but some smaller species are gregarious and appreciate being house in pairs or groups

if the space is available.

● Their daylight hours should be consistent (between 8-12 hours daily) with an indoor cage covered to prevent our light cycles affecting them in the evening This reduces stress and can reduce unwanted mating or plucking behaviours

● Indoor cages should be positioned in areas that are well ventilated but not in draughty areas and always positioned away from aerial pollutants such as smoking and cooking (Teflon pans can release toxins when in use that harm a birds tender respiratory system)

● As already mentioned, birds have sensitive respiratory systems and can suffer from pollutants, keeping an air purifier nearby can help with this

● Cages should be cleaned weekly or more frequently if needed with an appropriate disinfectant such as F10 This reduces bacterial and faecal contamination and keeps the air rd and its sensitive lungs e

Did you know birds can be ringed or microchipped to help identify them if they stray Talk to your vet about options for your pet.

Sea Shanties Save Souls

The Blakeney Old Wild Rovers have raised over £24,000 for Wells-next-the-Sea lifeboat station

On Friday 17 February the Blakeney Old Wild Rovers were invited for a tour of the new lifeboat station and viewed the station’s state of the art Shannon class Lifeboat, Duke of Edinburgh

Everyone was in good spirits and there were lots of laughs and appreciation for their ongoing support and fundraising for Wells lifeboat station.

Gary Mears of The Old Wild Rovers said: ‘We are all based by the sea and have connections to the local lifeboat stations, Wells, Sheringham and Cromer, with some of the crew being great mates of ours, so the RNLI is a charity close to our hearts ’

Since 1999 the Blakeney Old Wild Rovers have been singing their way round Norfolk raising money for the RNLI and other charities close to their hearts. To date they have raised over £250,000, holding various events within the local community, and regularly supporting at lifeboat station events

On behalf of Wells RNLI Coxswain Nicky King said: ‘We are extremely grateful to the Blakeney Old Wild Rovers for all their hard work and continued support in raising funds for Wells lifeboat station We all appreciate the significant donations they have made to the RNLI

‘The RNLI as a charity relies on the kindness and generosity of people such as The Old Wild Rovers, and what better way to help our volunteer crew continue to be able to save lives at sea 24 hours a day 7 days a week 365 days a year, than with a sea shanty ’

Magnificent Music Thrills crowd at Briston!

Take just one talented man, a state of the art digital musical instrument, a packed hall of live-music lovers, and you've got a recipe for a brilliant night out! The musician was the amazing Brett Wales, the instrument was the Wersi Sonic digital organ, and the hall was the Copeman Centre at Briston, which on Friday February 10th was filled to capacity with music lovers from all over the East of England!

We heard a most varied programme - from 'Macarthur Park' to themes from 'Pirates of the Caribbean' - 'Oh My Beloved Father' to 'The St Louis Blues March' - 'Tico Tico' to 'Sleepy Time Girl' - and just so many more great numbers too Proceeds from the raffle and refreshments also helped to raise £160 for the Copeman Centre funds, and an amazing £124 for our chosen charity, the wonderful ORBIS Flying Eye Hospital (see www orbis org)

age UK

Did you know that there are estimated to be 38,000 lonely older people in Norfolk and loneliness can be just as harmful to your health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day? In Norfolk County Council’s ‘Joint Strategic Needs Assessment’ report, figures show that North Norfolk has one of the higher percentages of lonely older people across the county.

Age UK Norfolk has been working hard for 15 years to combat loneliness across Norfolk, having launched our Befriending service in 2007 The service makes friendly, weekly phone calls to older people in need of somebody to chat to For many, we are the only person they speak to all week.

We currently befriend 294 older people, making over 15,200 calls a year - that’s over 7,600 hours of befriending! Our service grew by 70% since the outset of the pandemic and shows no signs of slowing down; we urgently need volunteers who enjoy chatting to people to join our friendly team and help us be there for those who need us

Volunteering as a befriender is very flexible, you only need 30 minutes

spare a week and can make calls from the comfort of your own home The calls that we make to older people are very highly valued and can make a real difference to the life of somebody experiencing loneliness, but our volunteers reap the benefits too!

Hilary, who lives in North Norfolk, volunteers for our Befriending service and supports three members “I have benefited from speaking and making friends with my befriending members and they also enjoy our very different conversations!

“I would recommend volunteering; none of the ladies I phone have any form of computer access (nor do they want it!) so they benefit from knowing that someone is thinking of them and contacting them on a regular basis ”

Perfect Pie

Something magical happens when you roast vegetables; their flavour intensifies and sweetens, turning a boring veg into something sublime Squashes are notorious for being bland but roast them up and it’s a whole other story Many people consider vegetables to be a side dish but cooked in the right way they become the star of the show and bought seasonally they are a very economical option. I've included fennel here, but don’t worry if you can’t get it, the recipe works fine without it, but it can now be purchased in most supermarkets very reasonably I know some purists don’t like using Bisto, but personally

Editor ’s Recipe

I like to keep it handy as it’s great for gravy and this sort of dish You can add a splash of white wine to the sauce if you want to jazz it up a little, but for a regular, family friendly dish I’ve left it out Most ready-made pastry is vegan, so if you use Alpro soya cream you can happily feed this to vegans, and the flavour is just as good.

Roasted Celeriac and Butternut Squash Pie

Serves 4

1 large butternut squash, peeled, deseeded and cut into chunks

1 celeriac, peeled and cut into chunks

Olive oil

1 onion, finely diced

1 leek, cut into half rounds

4 sticks celery, finely chopped

1 bulb fennel, finely chopped

1 punnet of chestnut mushrooms, quartered

2 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped

Generous tsp dried thyme

A little Bisto or cornflour

With Easter coming up, I thought this month I would give you a recipe that uses up leftovers but has a feeling of indulgence at the same time If you have made hot cross buns and have some left over these are perfect for this, which is a variation on bread-and-butter pudding

No leftovers? I cheat and buy a pack of buns from the supermarket which will do just as well Add in some eggs (not the Easter variety!) milk and a little cream and you are nearly done This pudding will easily serve 6 people

Small carton cream (or soya cream if vegan)

1 sheet ready rolled puff pastry

Start by tossing your squash and celeriac cubes in a little olive oil, season and roast for around 30 minutes on 190° until starting to brown and cooked through Meanwhile, gently fry the onion, leek, celery and fennel in a little olive oil for 10 mins until softening, then add in the mushrooms and garlic Season with salt and pepper and the dried thyme and cook gently for a further 5 minutes Add in a little boiling water to form a sauce, and thicken with either a little Bisto or cornflour, and stir to combine it all Pour in some cream and check your seasoning Once the roasted veg are ready, add them in and gently stir to combine, then pour it all into an ovenproof dish Unroll the pastry and use it to top the pie, sealing the edges well, and make a slit in the middle Brush with a little milk, and pop back into the oven for approximately ½ an hour, until the top is golden and risen Serve with creamy mash and seasonal veg

Carolyn Burn

Hot Cross Bun Pudding

You will need a deep round baking dish approx 25cm wide

Ingredients

200ml double cream

400ml whole milk

3 eggs

75g castor sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 tbsp Cointreau (optional)

zest of 1 orange 50g butter, softened

7 or 8 hot cross buns sliced in half 4 tbsp marmalade

Method

Heat your oven to 160C/140 Fan/Gas 3 and place a heavy baking sheet in the oven to heat up Pour the milk and cream into a saucepan and heat to just below a simmer In a large bowl whisk together the eggs and sugar together with the orange zest and Cointreau, if using Carefully whisk in the milk mixture (make sure it is not too hot or the eggs will scramble) Butter the hot cross buns and spread with marmalade and sandwich back together, keep 1 bun whole and cut the others in half the other way so that you have semi-circular pieces Place the whole bun in the centre of your baking dish and arrange the halves in a circle around the whole bun Pour over your custard and leave the buns to absorb the custard for 15 minutes, gently pressing them down into the custard Place in the oven on the baking tray and cook for 35 - 40 minutes until golden brown and the custard is set. Leave to rest for 10 minutes before serving with a little cream or ice cream

Wherry Charity Launches 2023 Programme of Norfolk Broads Sailings

Bookings are now being taken to sail on the Norfolk Broads this summer in a traditional Edwardian passenger wherry. Only eight of these elegant vessels are still in existence - five of which have been restored and are maintained and operated by the Wherry Yacht Charter Charitable Trust

Income generated from their just-published programme of scheduled sailings and bespoke charters helps preserve the historic wherries for the future while allowing current generations to enjoy the unique experience of sailing in them

Day trips are available on various dates between May 5th and September 30th, setting off from a number of Broadland locations including Wroxham, Stalham, Ludham, How Hill and Dilham Some sailings stop at local nature reserves and tourist attractions while others include lunch or supper

In addition to the scheduled trips, up to 12 people can charter a wherry for the day or a longer period of time for a family gathering, special occasion or event - with refreshments provided if required Each wherry has a fully trained skipper and crew who are all volunteer members of Wherry Yacht Charter

Behind the scenes more volunteers help maintain the wherries, take part in fundraising activities and undertake administrative roles

To view the 2023 sailing programme, make a booking or to find out more about Wherry Yacht Charter and how to become a volunteer or Friend of the charity log on to www wherryyachtcharter org

New Jewellers at Roughton

Orion Jewellers began its journey as a young apprentice in a small retail outlet in Leon, France A few years later I relocated back to England and continued my studies as a budding Jeweller practicing restoration and repair work

In 1998 I decided to start a business of my own and set up shop in Southend-on-Sea, Essex.

I moved from retail to manufacturing and wholesale in the late ’90s supplying several counties with bulk orders of new designs in gold and silver jewellery I now focus on restoration work, repairing sentimental jewellery items and hand crafting one off pieces never to be reproduced again

I have a traditional but well-equipped workshop that caters for all who pass by so feel free to come and watch jewellery being made, restored and repaired the traditional way in our open planned shop

So much has changed over the years but nothing more than the climate and in moving with the times we have learned to adapt to be greener and help protect our future resources There are so many options that are now available to all of us from using 100% recycled gold and silver to laboratory grown diamonds The future is ours

If you're looking to repair that special, sentimental piece of jewellery then rest assured Orion Jewellers will lovingly restore it.

All our work is guaranteed to an exceptionally high standard

Digital Assets and your Will

The use of digital assets and online access to assets has grown significantly in recent years – most of us have access to emails, photos stored online and maybe even social media accounts The value of digital assets can vary, and many people think that they hold sentimental value – it is therefore essential to ensure that you include your digital assets in your Will so that you can make certain they are passed on to your beneficiaries

What are digital assets?

Although there is no set definition of what is and is not a digital asset, they tend to range from tangible assets like phones and laptops to non-tangible assets like your PayPal accounts, cryptocurrency, photos stored online, emails, and social media accounts

Digital assets can be valuable in a monetary and/or sentimental sense

Do you need to include digital assets in your will?

If you want to ensure that your digital assets go to the person you would like, it is crucial to include them in your will. If they are not specifically given to a beneficiary, they will remain part of your residuary estate

Another reason to include digital assets in your will is to ensure that your Executors are aware of them Many people fail to include them in their will and they are then forgotten about If you have a digital asset that is valuable to you, you should draw it to your executors’ attention to ensure that they are able to access your account to retrieve information and/or close your accounts

For digital assets with monetary value, your executors will need to have access details to ensure they can verify the assets and establish the value for tax purposes, as your Executors will have to give details of all your assets (including digital assets) when providing this information to HMRC and the Probate Registry when applying for a Grant of Probate

Keeping an up-to-date record of your online accounts with access details is recommended as there are often difficulties for executors when it comes to accessing digital assets

Tangible assets like laptops will be considered as part of one’s personal effects in your Estate however this does not mean that everything stored on your laptop is automatically included unless specifically given to a beneficiary

Digital assets such as emails and photos might not be readily accessible to your Executors, therefore if you want these to pass to a specific beneficiary it is recommended to leave instructions as to how to gain access to them

Social media accounts prove difficult to access following the account holder ’s death and the requirements vary between providers so it is recommended that you consider this as fulfilling the requirements can be time-consuming

If you want to leave any of your digital assets to a particular person, you should include instructions in your will (or in a letter with your will)

What happens if you do not include digital assets in your will?

Without a will your digital assets will pass to the person as per the rules of intestacy There is also a risk of your non-tangible digital assets being overlooked

CHESS PROBLEMS by Dr Cedric Lytton

A step in the right direction

Solution to No. 311: 1 d4 b5 2 d5 b4 3 axb4 a3 4 b5 a2 5 b6 a1Q (R,B,S) 6 b7

A walkover for just knowing the moves! Actually, I wonder if this would be the record length for a published orthodox problem with all moves forced on both sides

The length (12 moves!) of No. 312 might put off at first sight, but in fact it is so easy that I need not trouble solvers to send solutions this time either It does not even conform to the usual convention that a good problem should never start with a check. I leave readers to enjoy the spectacle of the black K being “kicked upstairs”

Vikings Conclude Successful Swimming Championships

The North Norfolk Vikings Swimming Club have just successfully completed their involvement in the County Championships which was held over three weekends at the UEA Sports Park

All competitors had to achieve a qualifying time to compete and 20 swimmers represented the club in individual events and more joined them for the final day to swim in the relays

They had Ellen Eccleston winning two golds in breaststroke, Michael Sayer won two in backstroke and Noah Buchan achieved no fewer than six across a number of strokes and events. Ellen was runner up as Top girl in the 16-year category whilst Noah won the top boy in the 12-year category

Leah Harris was just outside the medals when she finished fourth in 30 4 over 50m butterfly

after the 21-year-old missed the final of the 200m Individual Medley coming ninth. Her time of in 2 35 13 was ironically the ninth fastest time out of 95 competitors for this event in all categories

Parker 50m butterfly, 48 06 Ruby Tracey 100m backstroke 1.19.31 George Edridge 1:40.09 100m breaststroke and twin brother Zak 1 38 66 in the same event

The Vikings achieved 10 golds, 5 silvers and 3 bronze medals as well as 12 Regional Qualifying times At the conclusion, Lead coach, Sam Watts confirmed that: “Whilst it's satisfying to see Vikings amongst the medals, the best measure of our progress can be seen in the amount of swimmers qualifying for this year's championships.

We had almost three times as many there than we had last year ”

Other notable swims came from Evie Bates 400m freestyle, 6:20 12, Jess Semark 50m freestyle 33 01, Lily Dear 50m freestyle 36 39, Razvan Platon 50m freestyle 33.33, Grace
