Christmas is nearlyhere and we have been extremely busy with all theusual festive accoutrements that accompany this time of year.

As always we will be holding our annual Carol Concert on 23rdDecember at 6pm; it’s a great way to kick off your holiday andget into the spirit of things with some lusty singing and thebest sausage rolls and mince pies this side of Bethlehem.

Our annual event – held to raise money for Cromer RNLI – is always hosted by our good friend Darren Thornton - now Reverend Thornton, Dean of Norwich, but once Darren fromthe Chocolate Box who used to moonlight at the Grove waitingtables in the summer. He once dashed back in the middle ofthe night in a panic thinking that he’d left the hot water boileron, and was discovered at 3am wedged halfway through thepantry window attempting to check the switch. But he hasmoved on to bigger and better things and it is always lovely tosee him in his old stomping ground once more.

Please enjoy our seasonal poached pears and we’ll hopefullysee you for dinner before Christmas.

750ml bottle of Merlot200g golden caster sugar2 cinnamon sticks snapped in half 1 vanilla pod halved lengthways and halved again4 firm pears (peeled)Pour the wine, sugar, cinnamon and vanilla into a deep medium-sized pan and heat gently until the sugar melts.

Add the pears and make sure they are completely sub-merged in the wine.

Simmer for 30-45 minutes until the pears are just tender,then turn off the heat and allow to cool in the syrup.

Remove the pears and reduce the liquid by 2/3rds. Leave theliquid to cool.

Pour over the pears to serve (with ice-cream!)

What does it do?It is an innovated, technologically advanced way to promote vi-brant and healthy looking skin in men and women. The non-in-vasive laser procedure safely, discretely and effectively treatsfine lines, wrinkles, large pores, uneven skin texture and dif-fuse redness. You can expect to see subtle results after justone treatment without unwanted side effects.

What does the treatment feel like?Patients describe the treatment as relaxing and therapeutic.You will experience a gentle warming of your skin’s surface asthe laser headpiece is moved back and forth above you skin.Laser procedure is very comfortable; it’s sometimes called thewarm laser facial. It is a gentle, relaxing and virtually painlessprocedure with zero downtime.

How does it work?The effect that Laser treatment has on your skin is a gradualone. Most of our patients begin to see an improvement in theirskin after about 3 or 4 treatments. We use a medical gradelaser to gently heat the skin below the surface. This “healthyheat” stimulates the body’s own natural healing responsewhich stimulates new skin cell growth and collagen production.The texture of your skin literally becomes smoother. Depending on what you are having treated, pores get smaller,lines are decreased as your underlying collagen is refreshed,and color of your skin will even out while redness is diffused.

What is diffuse redness?Diffuse redness is the appearance of facial redness, such asrosy cheeks. This condition is caused by dilated capillaries. Themost common areas are the nose, forehead and cheeks. Diffuseredness is often associated with a condition called rosacea.Laser treatment will help your appearance by gently generatingheat in the dilated capillaries resulting in reduced redness.

How many treatments will you need?People and conditions will vary in the way they respond, based on their skin biology. Typically we recommend a series of 4 to6 treatments to optimize the results.

How long does the treatment take?Each treatment session takes about 30 minutes.

What are the side effects? Most patients report few if any side effects and return to their

normal activities immediately following the treatment. Youmay be flushed from the heat but that will disappear within afew hours of the treatment. The most common side effect ofLaser treatment is beautiful skin!

What can you expect?Laser treatment can help restore the skin’s youthful glow and appearance by smoothing out uneven textures caused by aging, sun damage or scars. You will see a creamier, healthy complexion as large pores reduce in size, and minorimperfections are diminished. The individual treatment resultsare subtle, but the overall effect of multiple treatments can be quite dramatic.

Can anyone have it done?Yes. Adults of all ages and all skin types can benefit from Laser treatment and can have it done year round.

How does it differ from other laser treatments you offer?If you have obvious issues or medical conditions such asrosacea, acne, acne scarring or pigmentation issues then youneed a customised treatment plan which may include any oneor more of our sixteen lasers. We first suggest a consultationwith our doctor for such problems.

Yoga ExperienceVeronica Zappia from Aylmerton has been teaching yoga for 10years and her classes have always been light-hearted, sometimeseven silly, but always fun. One day, Veronica explains “I had an idea that it would be fun toteach yoga to children. So without any research I just went on-lineand booked an intensive children's yoga teacher training coursestaying in an ASHRAM somewhere in India. Wow what a shock, but amazing adventure it turned out to be. Ittook 23hrs to finally reach the ASHRAM. To say basic would be anunderstatement. My accommodation was sort of a big hut sharedwith three others. My bed was like sleeping on a wooden bench (I averaged 3/4 hrs sleep per night). The bathroom was a dodgytoilet and two taps, bucket and jug for a shower (which wasshared with my room mates after a 17 hr day of lectures, practicalsessions and meals that had to be taken in silence). Each eveningthe rats partied in our roof, although it sounded like they were inour room! Both the huge mosquitos and ants were very hungry!

One day, I came out of dining room to be greeted by a cobra withits hood up - I'm afraid I have to say I broke the silence rule justthis once - and another time during Yoga Nidra (deep relaxation) I was shouted to grab a branch from a tree and race over the hills,through the long grass, to help put a fire out. I have to admit tocrying all the way to the fire thinking long grass means scorpionscobras spiders etc!The most amazing part, or you could call it the icing on the cake,was being invited to a primary school in the city of NASIK and getting to use all the skills we had been taught on our course atASHRAM, teaching yoga to the young Indian children. They lovedit and so did we. When I got home, I could not believe what an impression thewhole experience had had on me. A part of that third world country thousands of miles away was now coming back to Norfolk. Considering how shocking it all was at first and howbasic, hard and intense the whole experience was, I am left feelingso lucky, fortunate and excited about my future of teaching yogato children. The list of benefit for children not just physically butmentally and if needed emotionally is endless.”

Just over 30 years ago Cromer squashplayer Jeff Morris tragically died on court and the club decided to honour his memory by instigating a tournament for players aged 35 and over which was held for the firsttime in the autumn of 1985. This year was the 30th anniversary of that first tournament and, in the final lastmonth, John Baker, whofirst won the title in 2004and was runner up in2008, completed a hat-trick of titles and won the prestigious event for thefourth time in all as he defeated the club captain,Martin Sanville 10-8 9-4 9-4 in a repeat of lastyear’s final.The Cromer club were delighted that Jeff’sdaughter, Debbie, was among the largecrowd on the Norwich Road balcony andthat she was able to present the trophies at the end of the match to the two finalists.Baker, who has also won the club championship four times and is the reigning club veterans champion went intothe final as the clear favourite, but when

Sanville opened up a 5-2 lead after a successful series of sliced backhand volleys it looked as though an upset waspossible. Baker soon got into his stride however and a succession of winning rallies enabled him to lead 8-5. Sanville responded well to draw level at 8-8 but Baker eventually

closed out the game on his fourth “game ball” to win the game 10-8.Baker’s natural game is to drive the ballhard into the back corners and in factTechnical Director Barry Starling saidthat he still hits the ball cleaner thananybody else in the club. However in thesecond game he added a new dimensionto his play with a series of well flightedlobs into the forehand corner and theseproved effective as he dominated thegame to lead 8-2 and eventually take it9-4.The third game followed a similar pattern.

Sanville who had played a hard quarterand semi-final as well as a demandingteam game earlier in the week started tomake unforced errors and although he battled gamely throughout Baker’s greaterconsistency proved decisive as he won thethird game 9-4 to retain his title.Last year Baker had said that as a young

man Jeff had given him every encouragement when he applied to join the fire servicemore than 30 years ago and to win the title on its thirtieth anniversary would be special and so it proved. He said “although thefinal score was 3-0 the match was muchharder than that and if Martin had takenthe first game the result could well havebeen different” Sanville said “I just wantedto give a good account of myself and Ithink I did that – all credit to John, he thoroughly deserved to win.”In the semi finals Baker defeated the tournament’s oldest competitor, JohnChandler, 9-5 9-2 9-2 while Sanville had to work hard to beat the 2013 runner-upGary Spruce 9-5 9-7 9-5.

Paul Richards called his talk ’The Art ofNature Photography' and is developingfine art nature images which he hopes to sell through local galleries -judging from what he displayed he stands every chance ofdoing well.

By showing stunning images of birds, mammals and insectsPaul explained how to make them stand out. The brilliant wildlifeimages included Kingfishers, Barn Owls, Water Voles and Drag-onflies. It also included two audio-visual sequences - one ofNorfolk wildlife and one of a trip to Norway.

The vote of thanks was proposed by Judith Wells. Members feltthat this was one of the best talks we had ever had at NorthNorfolk Photographic Society.

Long ago, before radiators ruledand boilers burned,

And frost grew icy blue on theinside of windows,

My father rose at five for the earlyshift, whilst we

Slept, snug and warm under sheetsand blankets.

He would dress breathing breathlike smoke and with

Sleep still on his mind, light the firein the cold grate.

He would quietly make his breakfast and drink his tea.

The fire would roar and heat thehouse and he would slip

Quietly off to work, wrapped andpacked against the cold.

An hour later we would wake to a warm house and eat

Breakfast in the warmth of my father’s love.

Flood survivor’s memories in the spotlightRoger Bean of Walcott was just seven years old when the flood surge of 1953 devastated his village.Now aged 70 Mr Bean has been sharing his memories of that catastrophic night with the members of a theatre company who are preparing a new touring production about the events of January 31st 1953.

Norfolk-based fEast Theatre has developed a reputation for high quality touring theatre specialisingin themes and stories from the eastern region. The company is currently collecting recollections ofthose who experienced the floods first hand and is planning to weave those memories into thescript of their new play Winter ’53.

Interviewed earlier this month by fEast writer Rob John and director Mandy McKenna in his home inCoast Road just two doors from the cottage in which he’d lived as a child, Mr Bean recalled that

fateful Saturday night when 307 people on the east coast of England were drowned.

‘It’s the little things that make the memories so vivid and dramatic,’ said Mandy McKenna. ‘Roger was able to give us a seven year old’srecollection of the sound of the wind, a knock on the door late at night and his shock when he found that the road he walked each day toschool had just vanished in the night. We’ll definitely be using some of those memories in our show.’

fEast Theatre is eager to meet other people who experienced first-hand the floods of ’53. Anybody willing to share their memories withfEast Theatre can contact Mandy McKenna on 07799 191492 or [email protected]

Happisburgh Lifeboat StationHappisburgh RNLI Lifeboat Station volunteers have been busy over the past few months, not only improving their skills to save lives at sea, but also supporting their community with participation in somelocal events.

October saw ten of our volunteers taking to a zip wire from the top of the Lighthouse, to raise funds for the Lighthouse Trust and mark their 25th anniversary raising £1,000. 17 of our volunteers spent two weeksbringing their First Aid skills up to date and they all passed with flying colours so they are ready to save

lives at sea, and also in their community if needed.

November saw our volunteers join with the community at the Remembrance Sunday Service at the Parish Church. The Happisburgh PlaySpace scheme needed help with the play area on Beach Road so they stepped up and helped with the ground works. 24th November sawJake Munday spend 3 hours at sea with the Divisional Inspector to pass out as Helm of our Atlantic Lifeboat.December 3rd saw the crew getting an early Christmas present with the arrival of a newer Atlantic 75 lifeboat, “Joan Mary” B-778 camefrom Mablethorpe Lifeboat Station who have just taken delivery of a new Atlantic 85. The Joan Mary is ten years old so much newer thanDouglas Paley, which has been at Happisburgh since 2012 and has been returned to Poole before a decision on her future use within theRNLI is made.

Cubitt Siely Jnr has just returned from RNLI College at Poole after completing a Helm course, as he works towards becoming a D-ClassHelm.

We would like to thank all our supporters and our community for all their help throughout the year and wish you all a Merry Christmasand a Happy New Year.

Early bird tickets available at only £29until 31 January 2016

Revival Productions are ramping things upa gear for 2016 with the announcement of very special guests, the Brit-Award winning harmony trio, ‘Blake’ who will be performing for what has become an absolute favourite in the Norfolk countycalendar. So, keep Saturday 13 August free,as concert organisers are promising thebest Blickling Proms concert to date. AsLisa Ward from Revival Productions ex-plains “We are absolutely delighted that‘Blake’ have agreed to perform on theBlickling stage for us next year. They havea global following and it’s going to be afantastic opportunity for local people tocome and see them live at this stunningvenue. They’ve just launched their firstChristmas album, ‘Christmas Classics’which is being tipped for a ChristmasNumber One and a favourite in everyone'shome over the festive period.” Early birdtickets for the concert are available now, at £29, until 31 January 2016.

Blake comprises three men whose friendship and musical careers date back to their school days. After reunitingvia Facebook as adults, they recorded their first album in 2007, which was a phenomenal success, going straight to No. 1 in the UK Classical Album Chart. With over 100,000 copies of the album selling in just three weeks, the groupearned its first Gold Disc. Recognised bythe music industry for their talent, thealbum received the prestigious ClassicalBrit Award for Album of the Year in 2008 -a huge honour for a group that was stillless than a year old. Five albums and several world tours later, 2015 has beenanother incredibly busy year for the Blaketrio, ending with them “dueting” withDame Shirley Bassey for an incredible version of their recently-released single,

‘The Christmas Song’(Dame Shirley Bassey’sfirst-ever Christmassingle). Blake will beappearing on theChristmas Day Specialof Strictly Come Dancing with DameShirley Bassey.

The group also has personal links withNorfolk - HumphreyBerney, one of the Trio,is particularly happy tobe returning to hishome county, havingbeen born and raisedon a farm just outsideDereham. He said “Toperform at the BlicklingProms has always been a dream – it’s oneof the most famous and loved houses inNorfolk and to perform there with Blakewill undoubtedly be a highlight of 2016.”

The Blickling Proms 2016 is going to be thebest one so far, says organiser Lisa Ward,“We wanted to come up with somethingspecial for our 5th concert and Blake fittedthe bill perfectly. In the first-half, Blakewill perform some of their best-loved classics, including You Raise Me Up, Hallelujah and Fields of Gold; so it will be a really rousing start to the evening.The second half will see them returning tothe stage to sing more iconic tracks, suchas Bring Him Home and Nessun Dorma aswell as all the Proms favourites like RuleBritannia, Land of Hope & Glory and Britishanthem “Jerusalem”, which was composedby William Blake who inspired the name of the group, so I imagine it will be a particularly exhilarating version!”

It promises to be a celebratory evening featuring some of Britain’s best classical

singers and musicians, so come and join in the fun. The highly-acclaimed SinfoniaViva orchestra, under conductor RoderickDunk, will be returning to what is becoming an annual favourite for thousands of concert-goers who know they can expect a truly memorableevening.

As well as having FREE parking (for bothcoaches and cars), guests can bring theirflags, picnics and wine, dress for the occasion if they so wish, sing along andsoak up the atmosphere with friends in the outstanding Blickling Hall setting. The evening will conclude with a stunning fireworks finale over the lake, choreographed to the music.

Holly and Ivy have been used as winter decorations since ancient times. Decorating homes with these plants ‘freshened’ the air and theirgreenery reminded occupants of the coming spring. While the cold, dark days of winter turned much of the landscape dreary, holly andivy remained green signifying eternal life, and the bright red holly berries provided cheerful spots of colour.

Additionally, these evergreen plants were believed to have magical properties. In some ancient cultures, the howling, icy winds in the darknights of winter were thought to be ghosts and demons. Decorating with holly and ivy was thought to ward off these evil spirits.

Holly has long been associated with winter holidays. Early Europeans used holly as ornamentation during their winter solstice celebrations to signify the gradual lengthening of days and the coming of spring. The use of ivy also goes back thousands of years. The fact that ivy stayed green throughout the year led some to believe it had magical properties and it symbolised eternal life, rebirth and the spring season. In some cultures ivy was a symbol of marriage and friendship, perhaps due to its tendency to cling.

It is really satisfying if we can decorate our houses using greenery from our own garden and if you don’t have evergreen plants that canbe cut for Christmas decorations this is a good time to make plans for future years.

There are some 400 varieties of holly but possibly the most commonly grown variety is Ilex aquifolium, which with its numerous gardenvarieties is extensively used for hedging or as a single specimen tree. All species have inconspicuous , five petalled green or white flowerswith male and female flowers usually being borne on separate trees. It is therefore necessary to have male and female plants growingclose together to ensure that berries are produced. The varieties ‘Argentea Marginata’ and ‘Handsworth New Silver’ have gained an RHSAward of Garden Merit’ and are very attractive.

Ivies produce two kinds of growth, juvenile or runner growth with, with lobed leaves and aerial roots which attach themselves to any surface, and adult or arborescent growth, which has leaves with waxy margins and no aerialroots, and which bears flowers and fruit. Cuttings taken from the arborescent growth, willretain the adult form and develop into rounded, bushy shrubs. Recommended varieties include Hedera canariensis with green leaves that turn bronze in the winter and H. colchica,the Persian Ivy, which has many attractive varieties.

However although we normally think of holly and ivy to complement the fir Christmas tree it is worth walking around the garden to see what other foliage can be used such as bay,rosemary, hebe, pittosporum, eleagnus and myrtle.

So, this Christmas, bring your garden indoors and don’t rely on commercial baubles and tinsel. A couple of hours foraging in the garden could bring plenty of good material, not only foliage but stems, berries, cones and seedheads which can be used to bring some natural magic to your home.

It still feels we are in autumn as we enterDecember. Many trees still carry goldenleaves and we have yet to experience anyreal frosts. However, autumn for the Commons starts in September and thatseems a long while ago now, also I missedmost of it as work took me to MorecambeBay until around mid-October. MarkClements, a regular recorder, kept up thegood work and noted the wildlife while I was away. In addition it should be notedthat thanks to Norfolk County Council two new walkways/bridges have been constructed to help walkers negotiate particular muddy areas.

Mark spotted a juvenile Hobby and 14Siskins (September 3rd), a Painted Lady(September 5th), a Lesser Whitethroat (September 7th), a Firecrest and BronzeShieldbug (September 8th), Spotted Flycatcher and three Garden Warblers (September 9th), Wheatear (September10th), a large movement of Swallows heading west was a feature of September14th as was the sighting of an Ivy Bee. TheIvy Bee (Colletes headerae) was first foundon the Common in 2014 and first found inWest Norfolk in 2013. This bee was onlyrecognised as a separate species in 1993 asit bore a close resemblance to two otherColletes bees. It appears to be rapidlyspreading north and west from its initialUK mainland discovery in Dorset in 2001.A movement of Meadow Pipits west with 43 noted in 30 minutes occurred September 18th, which was followed by a large movement of House Martins (September 22nd). ElevenCommon Buzzards were noted passingover the Common and a pair of Adderswith a juvenile were also seen (September26th). An early Redwing was spotted head-ing south (September 28th) and the follow-ing day (September29th) the first ofmany Yellow-browedWarblers was found.From this date untilOctober 15th two orthree birds werenoted almost daily.This diminutive warbler has beenseen in increasingnumbers in recentyears and it isthought that a

population shift westwards from itstraditional breedingarea of the Siberiantaiga has accountedfor its appearance inWestern Europe asnormally the birdwould winter inSouth-east Asia.

On October 2nd Markfound a delicate whitefungus on a deadbranch. It was thePorcelain Fungus, a new site record. Thefirst returning flock of Pink-footed Geesewere seen on October 4th and on October8th a juvenile Slow-worm was noted, however, on October 11th the Commons

were talked about ‘countrywide’ as a rareIsabelline Shrike was found by visitingbirder, Keith Owen. The Isabelline Shrikewas of the Eastern population, whichbreeds in Mongolia and the west Chinatablelands and is now known as a DaurianShrike. The bird was very confiding andstayed in the same area for around 10

days despite beingthe daily attention of numerous birdersand photographers.It was spendingmuch of its dayperched onHawthorns and making aerial sortiesafter bees and wasps,which when caught itwould often impaleon the thorn spikes.On October 16th it

was seen to flydown to the grassand then to fly backto the thorn tree,not with an insect inits beak but a FieldVole, which wassubsequently impaled and latereaten. Mark reported a Firecrest(October 19th), a Brambling and Fielfare (October

20th). A Chiffchaff was also calling thatday and a female Marsh Harrier crossedthe Common (October 23rd), which wasspotted by Mark as was a Woodcock. October 25th saw many skeins of Pink-footed Geese passing over headingwest. The total estimate was around 1000 birds. A surprise for Mark was thepresence of seven Bearded Tits (October21st). These birds are generally associatedwith large areas of reedbeds, such as atCley, however, in the autumn/winter thereis usually some localised movement, generally juveniles.

A Chiffchaff was present November 1stand Mark spotted a Red Admiral. AFirecrest was present from November 10th as were Siskins and Redpolls. The last butterfly of the Common’s year (so far)was another Red Admiral (November 12th)seen sunning itself on a Silver Birch trunkat 9am. A Kingfisher was reported by Mark(November 16th) as well as the Firecrestand a Woodcock. A Short-eared Owl waswatched hunting over the grassland nearthe pond before heading south (November18th). Two Chiffchaffs were with a mixedflock of Long-tailed Tits, Blue Tits andGoldcrests (November 23rd) and also manyBlackbirds were feeding on the Rowenberries. In the Woodland Rise boundaryhedge a Barberry was bountiful withberries as were some Hollys, Blackthornsand Hawthorns.

If the old saying is right about it being ahard winter if the birds do not eat all theberries but leave some till later then I thinkwe might need to look out for wintryblasts come the New Year!

After years of planning and months in the making, the NationalTrust has announced that Felbrigg Hall’s library is set to be restored to its former glory, with the arrival of a custom-madenew carpet based on the unique original.

The original library carpet, which dated from around 1830, hadbecome extremely faded and worn - from age, light and nearly200 years of use. It was not possible to repair the damaged tapestry carpet, as the original yarn had been dyed with thepattern before being woven. So the National Trust looked atways to replicate its historic design.

Analysis of the original carpet revealed that it was made up of 30 colours in a 3ft floral design, making it a rare survivingexample of a printed tapestry carpet. The pattern was tracedand the colours carefully matched, before being expertly wovenin strips and sewn into one piece before its arrival at Felbrigg.

The new carpet has been made by specialists from The LivingLooms Project, a not-for-profit project based in Stourport thatseeks to preserve our nation’s weaving heritage. Their late 19thcentury carpet looms are the last of their kind in the world andthought to be the only ones capable of making such a replica.Using traditional methods and historic looms recently revived,they have not only produced a new carpet, but are helping tokeep alive the skills to make it.

In recent days, the original carpet has been removedand new underlay put in place. Now it is time for thenew carpet to be laid, giving visitors a taste of the library’s original grandeur.

Eleanor Akinlade is the General Manager at FelbriggHall; “It’s felt a little like Christmas, waiting for the carpet to arrive. We’re so pleased the day has finally arrived for it to be laid. The National Trust is foundedon the principle of caring for our

country’s heritage and if we want to maintain the intrinsiccharacter of ageing properties like Felbrigg Hall well into the future, then we also need to preserve the traditional skills andmachines that will make that possible.” Mike Sutherill, Curatorfor the National Trust in the East of England, said “The invention of the printed tapestry looms marked a massivechange in carpet design, allowing manufacturers to use morecolours than they ever could before. So it was important to us,to try to replicate the carpet in as much detail as possible, sovisitors to Felbrigg could see just how beautiful and colourfulthe original carpet would have once looked. To witness theprocess and skill involved to take single threads to create the colourful pattern in this carpet was just incredible.”

David Luckham, from The Living Looms Project added "Any product is only as good as the specification and skills employed in its manufacture, so it has been a pleasure andprivilege for The Living Looms Project to work with the knowledgeable team at the National Trust. Without the supportand backing from conservation individuals and organisationslike the National Trust for traditional skills and standards to be maintained, numerous important historic textiles includingcarpets and tapestries will disappear. The houses will bepoorer for this and, once gone, these textiles and skills will be lost to future generations.”

Bindi’s OrdealAt Toll Barn Vets, North Walsham, we areenjoy being able to care for a variety of different pets.

Most of these come from loving homes, however, we are also proud to be able to help many local charities and rescue centrescaring for sick, abandoned or stray animals.

Bindi has had a rough start in life and was found roaming the area withterrible injuries to her legs which look suspiciously like they comefrom a snare trap. One of her front legs had severe damage to the toes,which had caused the claw to grow inside the skin and made it extremely painful for her to walk on theleg. Her back leg had lost almost all of the skin up to the hock (ankle)joint. Thankfully, there were no fractures involved, we undertook surgery to remove two of her toes which were too badly damaged toheal.

Bindi has now recovered from surgery and had several weeks of bandages to help the wound on her back leg to heal. She is now fullyrecovered and, apart from her scar, shows no signs of her ordeal.

The RSPCA East Norfolk Branch rescued Bindi when she was found injured and have been caring for her with some much needed TLC ever since.

Bindi is now well enough to be rehomed so if you think you could offerher a well-deserved new start in life please contact RSPCA East Norfolkon 07867 972870.

Dedicated care for pets and exotic animals

A very Merry Christmasand a Happy New Yearfrom all the staff at

Toll Barn Veterinary CentreNorth Walsham.

Our 24/7 on site Emergency Service is availablefor clients throughout the Festive Period.

and Gaynor (Receptionist)

Christmas is fun for all the family including our pets! However, Christmas is a busy time for our 24/7 on site emergencyservice with hidden festive dangers...Christmas Cake, Mince Pies and Fruit Bowls contain raisins, sultanas or grapes. Delicious for us butin pets these can cause kidney damage. They can also contain alcohol causing signs of intoxication,low blood sugar, blood pressure and temperature. Onions and Garlic can also cause vomiting anddiarrhoea and potentially destruction of red blood cells (haemolytic anaemia). Mum’s sage andonion stuffing might taste great but it’s best to avoid giving pets “left overs”.

Chocolate contains theobromine which is toxic to dogs. The amount of theo-bromine varies with the type of chocolate (dark chocolate contains the highest levels). Depending on the amount and type of chocolate eaten, signs range from vomiting and diarrhoea to wobbliness, seizures and changes in heart rhythm (arrhythmias). It is helpful to tell your vet how much andwhat type of chocolate was eaten to help determine whether a toxic dose has been reached.Pets, especially dogs, have an exceptional sense of smell and often hunt out Bones, Foil or Stringfrom bins. Bones are often brittle and splinter easily causing blockages or tears within the

oesophagus and intestine, whilst foil and string cause obstructions within the stomach and intestine. Many foods alsocontain high levels of fat increasing the risk of pancreatitis.Around the house Tinsel and Ornaments are particularly attractive. If eaten these often cause blockages within the intestines. Candles and Fairy Lights are appealing to curious pets but can result in electrocution or burns if chewed so place them out of reach of naughty paws! Christmas trees are also potentially toxic as pine needles cause irritation of the mouth, vomiting, diarrhoea and weakness. Naughty puppies and kittens can also injure themselves climbingChristmas trees so it is advisable to have a barrier to prevent access and keen supervision!

Lilies from festive bouquets can cause kidney failure in cats. If your cat comes into contact withlilies and the pollen sticks to their fur immediately place a buster collar or t-shirt to prevent themlicking and contact your vet. Holly, Mistletoe and Poinsettias are also toxic causing vomiting, diarrhoea and depression. Mistletoe can also cause collapse and changes in heart rate whilst Poinsettia sap causes blistering of the mouth and stomach. We recommend all plants are kept well out of reach of inquisitive pets!

These problems are treatable if caught early enough so if you have concerns our 24/7 on site emergency service is available for our clients throughout Christmas and New Year on our normal number (01692 407126). Staff from Toll Barn Vets wish you all a safe and Merry Christmas!

It is often saidthat the reasonthat France and other continentalcountries haveso many smallfarmers is dueto their ‘forcedheirship’ laws,introduced byNapoleon. Wetypically think

of adjoining, tiny fields farmed bycousins, with all the family feuds that accompany such geographical and familial proximity.

Napoleon codified French and other European laws and created rigid legalstructures which endure this day.Amongst these are the European ‘forcedheirship’ rules whereby certain fixed portions of a deceased person’s estatemust go to designated heirs. Contrastthis with the English right of testamentary freedom and you will see one of many legal examples of ‘vive la difference’.

But is all that set to change?

New EU cross-border inheritance laws arenow in place, allowing individuals to optout of the forced heirship rules thatapply in a number of EU countries. Individuals may opt either for the law of the country of their nationality or lasthabitual residence to apply to any assetsacross Europe.

The default rules will remain that the law of the country where someone is ahabitual resident when they die is thelaw that governs succession to their estate as a whole. The new rules are intended to ease cross-border succession.

Even though the UK (and Ireland andDenmark) opted out of the new rules,there are implications for Brits with assets in other EU countries. If someone has an English Will, they will automatically have chosen Englishlaw. As well as removing EU forced heirship rules governing the successionof EU assets owned by a British national(a good thing), the changes mean, for instance, that the right for disappointedpersons to claim against their overseasassets [under the Inheritance (Provisionfor Family and Dependents) Act 1975]

might well now arise (a bad thing).

Those owning assets in other EU countries are well advised to take specialist advice on whether to alter theirexisting English Wills in the light of thesenew rules. In doing so, they can bothseek to avoid potential conflicts and to ensure that what they own goes towhom they wish.

“This article aims to supply general information, but it is not intended to constitute advice. Every effort is made toensure that the law referred to is correctat the date of publication and to avoidany statement which may mislead. However no duty of care is assumed toany person and no liability is accepted for any omission or inaccuracy. Alwaysseek our specific advice”.

If you require advice on this matterplease contact Miranda on 01328710210.

If you require advice on any other legalmatter please telephone our North Walsham office on 01692 503081 oremail [email protected].

Gresham’s sponsors successful North Walsham Rugby Club Minis FestivalChildren and coaches from ten Norfolk and Suffolk-based rugby clubs took part in North Walsham Rugby Club’s 39th Mini-Rugby Festival, sponsored by Gresham’s School.

Despite windy and muddy conditions, the day was a huge success for everyone who took part.

Gresham’s Rugby Coach, Sam Curtis, assisted by some current and former members of Gresham’s 1st XV Rugby team ran a fun rugbygame where children had to try and throw a ball through a cut-out rugby player to win prizes which included signed rugby balls by Old Greshamians and England and British Lions Internationals, Tom and Ben Youngs, an undoubtedly popular addition to the Festival!

The teams who took part in the Festival ranged in ages from U7s to U12s and included players from Swaffham, Norwich, Holt, Wymondham, Diss, Bury St Edmunds, Lowestoft & Great Yarmouth, West Norfolk, Southwold and North Walsham.

LONG ARMS AND GENEROUS POCKETS IN BRISTON!On Friday 27 November, the last Briston Organ Show of 2015 thrilled the large audience without a star performer, but instead with local organist and entertainer Mick Leary playing his Hammond organ and Yamaha keyboard. Thewide range of music included a medley of Richard Rodgers hits, themes from'Mack and Mabel', some thumping Rock and Roll numbers from the 60's, and thehaunting theme from 'Riley, Ace of Spies'. One of his pupils, Paul Perris, playedsome selections including 'The Sound Of Music', and some of the lovely peoplewho help run the shows throughout the year also chipped in, with Anne Fippardand Jean Dawson wishing they had looked after their teeth better, and DavidParsons trying to introduce some culture to the show with a poetry reading,while out of sight behind him, but in full view of the audience, all sorts ofshenanigans emphasising how long and boring the poem were unfolding.

Towards the end of the evening, the Two Rennies (aka Mick and his partner Carol Parsons) gave us the latest local 'news'bulletin, which had the audience in fits of laughter!

The last Briston Organ Show of every year is now a fundraiser for the excellent ORBIS Flying Eye Hospital Charity, andproceeds from ticket sales, refreshments, Vera Money's fundraising stall and some very kind individual donations raisedan incredible £808 - and a further private donation has topped that up to an amazing £850 for the excellent ORBIScause! All flying and medical staff from this wonderful charity are volunteers, and even their aircraft was donated tothem by FedEx.

A big 'thank' you to all who attended and supported the show so amazingly well, to those who made fools of themselvesin the sketches, to Claire for the Raffle, Colin for sorting out the carparking, and Anne Aspinal who also assisted withthe excellent refreshments. Thank you all so much!

Our next show will be on Friday 12 February 2016 when we are so lucky to have a very last public performance from aceorganist Michael McAneny. He was going to finish his playing on the club circuit at the end of this year, but a littlearmtwisting, and because he says 'the Briston crowd are the best all over the UK I have ever played for', he has decidedto do this very last show just for us! Tickets are now on sale, and you can get yours booked by 'phoning Carol on 01263860844. We knows it is a bit early, but may we take this opportunity to wish all our regular audiences, and hopefully allof you out there who will 'give us a go' during 2016, a really Happy Christmas!

Sheringham & Beeston Regis Sea Scout GroupSheringham and Beeston Regis Sea Scout Group held their Annual General Meeting on Wednesday 11 November at their Scout HQ, de Morley Garth.

The Group Scout Leader, John Paine, welcomed The District Commisioner, Paul Henriksen, District Chairman, Fred Crane, District Treasurer, Roger Hill and parents and friends.

After the formal election of Officers The District Commisioner presented The Chief Scout's Silver Awardto Cubs Albie Barrell, Cameron Cook and Joshua Pratt as well as badges to the Beavers, Cubs and Scouts.Leader Susan Wallace was presented with her 15 year service award. The Scout section supported theNorth Norfolk District Railway's 40's weekend by selling the newspapers as part of their community challenge.

At the end of the meeting our two Young Leaders, Andrew Mitchell and Alexander Ghanbouri (both 17years old), gave a very enjoyable and informative illustrated talk about their experiences at the JapaneseWorld Jamboree they attended this Summer. Both boys had been in the Sheringham Group since Beaversand had been chosen by the County to be part of the group of 18 to represent the whole of Norfolk. Thetotal number of people at the Jamboree was 34,000 from all over the world. Andrew and Alex also visitedHiroshima, Tokyo, Kyoto and Shin-Yamaguchi as well as taking part in all the very varied and exciting things to do on site. They wereespecially impressed with the Bullet trains they travelled on which were very fast and always on time! The weather was extremely hotand humid which was quite hard to deal with. To fund this trip both Andrew and Alex had to raise £3000 each, which also helped for a third world boy to attend. They have been an inspiration to the younger members of the Group to aspire to take part in a Jamboree,especially a World one!

Scouting is always in need of help with running the different sections - Beaver Cubs 6-7 year olds, Cub scouts 8-10 year olds and Scouts10-14 year olds. If you would like to help in any way at all the Group would be pleased to meet you. Please ring 01263 823240 if youwould be prepared to help in any way either by fundraising or at meetings.

Ifanyone would like to join us with woodwind, brass or strings, please contact us [email protected]. A chance to dust down those sleeping instruments andstart playing again!

Sheringham Coastwatch is looking out for youIf variety is the spice of your life, being a volunteer with Sheringham Coastwatchmust be the ideal role for you.

What other voluntary role ranges from giving water to a thirsty dog to (on one occasion!) helping to dispose of a hand-grenade? Or helping a holiday-maker withweather or tidal information and then helping in a Coastguard search. And all without moving more than ten feet.

Our volunteers keep a lookout over the cliffs, beaches and sea visible from the former Coastguard lookout high above the Sheringham golf course. If we spot someone in trouble we immediately contact the emergency services (usually HM Coastguard) and provide any assistance requested by them.

So as well as enjoying the spectacular views there is enormous satisfaction in knowing that we are helping to ensure the safety of those on the sea or using the beaches and cliff paths.

Whether you are male or female, of working age or retired, you could enrich your life by joining our friendly group of volunteers. Members come from many different backgrounds and “work” for three hours on a weekly or fortnightly basis.

No previous maritime experience is needed. Full on-the-job training and on-going support is provided. Professionalism and commonsense are the order of the day, not physical ability.Like to join us?

You must be at least 18 years of age and fit enough to walk to the lookout up a fairly steep hill over some uneven ground.To find out more please either ring the Station Manager -01263 713392 or [email protected]. Also www.sheringhamcoastwatch.org.uk has more information.

An application form and a further information sheet can be downloaded from the website or can be picked up from our lookout whichis on the coastal path on Skelding Hill above Sheringham Golf Club.

Village Hall Lottery SuccessA north Norfolk village will benefit from lottery funding which willhelp it in its bid to provide their community with a new village hall. Trimingham’s current village hall, known as The Pilgrim Shelter,will eventually be replaced at Staden Park, much further inlandthan the present hall. The new hall will support community facilities such as health and leisure services, for example fitnessclasses, bingo, bridge, health surgeries and a youth club. The Pilgrim Shelter, built more than 80 years ago, is gradually comingcloser to the cliff edge and officials now predict it is unlikely tosurvive beyond another 20 years. Now thanks to a Big Lottery Fund grant of £28,260, TriminghamParish Council will be able to develop plans for a new village halland community centre with space for 200+ people, car parking andimproved access. As well as the cash award they will benefit from on-hand lottery advisor support to bid for funding for the final partof the project which could see an award of up to £350,000 to£400,000 which will pay towards the capital costs of the build.North Norfolk District Council has been working closely with Trimingham Parish Council for the past 18 months to prepare a series of staged successful bids for lottery funding from the

Lottery Reaching Communities Grant scheme. The lottery success comes on the back of North Norfolk DistrictCouncil assisting Trimingham Parish Council with a grant of£200,000 from the DEFRA sponsored Coastal Pathfinder Fund in2010, part of which has already helped to buy the land for the newvillage hall. Deputy Leader of North Norfolk District Council and Ward MemberCllr Angie Fitch-Tillett said “I’m absolutely delighted that the project has been successful in securing this development grantfrom the Lottery Reaching Communities fund. This grant will helpthe development of the replacement village hall which will be atthe heart of village life for future generations.”

Village Hall Benefits from Waitrose Community Fund

Our photo shows members of theCommittee of Swanton Abbott Village Hall who recently accepted a cheque from the Waitrose Community Fund. The money willbe used to purchase new fencingfor the Village Hall Car Park.
