ROUP OF PARISHES
Hello Everybody.
From outer space, our planet is a beautiful blue jewel and on the world map, our tiny
island is a green gem, Travelling from John OGroats to Lands End you pass through
many varied terrains, accents and cultures and if you take a left diversion you come
to our beloved Norfolk with all its diversities from the forests and heaths of the
Brecks to the rivers and waterways of the Broads. Our coastline is amazing: you can
sit and watch the sun go down in Hunstanton, blast across Brancaster Bay, enjoy the
pine forest and beach huts at Wells, watch the boats in Blakeney, take in a show on
Cromer Pier and where else on a hot August Bank Holiday can you find a huge
beach to play cricket on? Horsey Gap! And on to the thrills and spills of Gt Yarmouth.
If you get up early, you can see the sun rise at Hopton. Enjoy your summer.

BACKACHE
Backache is common, often coming on
suddenly with excruciating pain.
However, seeing the doctor
immediately is unlikely to help. Pain in
a leg is common and is due to sciatica.
Take adequate painkilling medication
such as paracetamol and ibuprofen.
Rest for up to 24 hours, but then be as active
as you can to mobilise and
strengthen your back, returning to
work as soon as possible. Prolonged
rest can cause further damage.
When to see the doctor
If backache fails to improve after
two weeks
If you have difficulty controlling
bladder or bowels
If you have weakness or numbness
of a leg

Who can remember John Masefield's beautiful poem Sea Fever?
I must go down to the sea again, to the lonely sea and the sky, and all I ask is a tall
ship and a star to steer her by.
On July 12th we have an opportunity to remember the Mission to Seafarers on Sea
Sunday, when we think of everyone whose way of life and livelihood depends upon
the sea. In the coastal waters of Britain and all over the world the Mission to
Seafarers provides support, in everyday life and in maritime emergencies.
In Norfolk we are fortunate to have a very beautiful coastline which attracts many
visitors to our region. However, if we think globally, Sea Sunday takes on particular
significance. I must go down to the sea...
Current news stories remind us of the plight of huge numbers of desperate people,
men, women and children: economic migrants and refugees fleeing war zones,
risking and so often tragically losing their lives in over-crowded, unseaworthy
vessels; and finding little comfort after they disembark as they are refused entry to
their chosen destination; and refugee camps spring up across the Mediterranean.
We all have the right to live without fear. As fellow members of the human race we
cannot help but have profound sorrow at these tragic events, perhaps feeling
powerless to influence things; but we do have the option to lobby our MP, to actively
support humanitarian organisations such as Christian Aid, and most importantly to
pray for compassion to prevail, for stability and justice in the regions from which so
many are fleeing for their lives and, at European governmental level, for
compassionate, creative, economically sustainable solutions.
The Archbishop of Canterbury and the Pope have joined together in calling for
Europe as a whole to rise up and seek to do what is just.
Amen to that.

GAYTON THORPE NEWS

Church update
Our next Celtic Service will be held on
Sunday 26th July at the later time of
6pm. Do come and join us.
Refreshments are always served
afterwards for anyone who would like to
stay for a chat - or just for tea and cake!
The orchard is now three years old and
after Andy and myself pruned the trees
in the Spring we have had a lot of
blossom. We live in hope that we may
have apples this year. To ensure the
safety of any apples produced we will be
mustering the 'Gayton Thorpe' militia to
stand guard. Please ensure that all
muskets are clean and ready for action.
Andy is also hoping to arrange an apple
day in the Autumn in the Orchard so
stand by.
Exhibition
I hope everyone had a chance to visit
Susanna's exhibition of her artwork. It
certainly seemed like she had a lot of
visitors and I stand in awe of anyone that
can produce such imaginative pictures.
Council
Kirsty has now taken up her place on the
Parish Council so we are back up to two
representatives again if anyone has any
issues they wish to be raised.
Following the information about the

church organ and other plans for the
church, we have received very little
response. The response we have had
from within the village has been in favour
of removing the organ as well as
carrying out the other works suggested.
We have since had a meeting at the
church with the Diocese to discuss their
initial views on the proposed changes
and they were very positive. We now
have to make a formal application to the
Diocese for permission to make the
various changes. It will be a great deal of
paperwork, but hopefully we will have
some news as to what permissions we
have been granted by the time of the
next magazine. At the very least, we
should be able to provide an update on
progress.
The next Parish Council meeting is

Monday 13th July at 7.30pm. If anyone
has any matter that they wish to raise
please let me or Kirsty know or attend
the meeting as everyone is welcome.
The application for permission will need

to be advertised at the church, so if you
are interested, please keep an eye on
the church noticeboard over the next
month or so, as any notices will be
posted there.

ASHWICKEN, LEZIATE & BAWSEY NEWS

LEZIATE PARISH COUNCIL
REPORT
The Parish Council met on Wednesday
10th June 2015.
Councillors raised concerns about the
standard of highway repairs. It appears
to them that some repairs, with particular
reference to pot holes, can't be
considered as value for money as the
repairs are amateurish and will last only
a small amount of time. It also appears
that other work that should be done and
could be done at the same time is being
ignored.
Representatives of NCC had promised
last year that the vegetation on the left
hand side would be cut back and yet still
nothing has been done. As our County
Councillor wasn't present it was agreed
to write to him with our general concerns
over these issues.
It was also reported that the silica sand
review has reached the next stage. A
call has gone out to all land owners and
operators to put forward sites for mining
of silica sand. The deadline for this is
30th June 2015. The Parish Council
resolved to keep an eye on this review
and will be very interested to see what
sites have been put forward.
It was agreed that we will ask our
grounds maintenance contractor to cut
around two bus stops along the B1145.
With the recent warm and wet weather
the vegetation is getting out of control

and is making life hard for those waiting
for buses.
We also had some welcome news about
Homewatch and our chief coordinator
has written a piece which you will find in
this newsletter. It appears that
Homewatch is being regarded as
important to the Police and this can only
be good news for our area.
Borough Councillor Alistair Beales
attended the meeting and gave the
Parish Council a review of the recent
weeks at the borough Council. Cllr
Beales has retained the portfolio for
regeneration and has also become
Deputy Leader.
Leziate Parish Council next meets on 8th
July 2015, 7.30pm in the village hall. All
parishioners are welcome.
NB: Advance warning there will be no
Parish Council meeting in August.
Ashwicken & Leziate Home

Watch
The National Home Watch Association
has launched a new country wide web site
in conjunction with the Police to allow all
Home Watch (HW) schemes to register
the contact details of the coordinators and
members.
I have registered the Ashwicken & Leziate
scheme and would like to invite you to take
a look at the web site and if you would like
to become a Member just register

following the simple instructions on the
site.
Registering as a Member entitles that
household to benefit from a reduction in
home insurance if your insurance
company is part of this scheme. The web
site has lots of details about HW in general
for those that would like to know more.
As a member you will receive updates on
crime prevention in our area as well as the
latest crime figures. We luckily live in a low
crime area and being a member of a HW
scheme will help us to deter crime and
keep our neighbourhood safe for us all.
The Norfolk Regional Chairman for HW
(Peter Evans) has sent the following open
letter to all HW organisations in Norfolk. It
provides the web site information plus his
contact details if anyone would like to
contact him

Leziate WI
We all enjoy singing Jerusalem when
starting our meetings and, although we
had 5 apologies, we sounded like a
choir! Our speaker was Pat Watts, who
explained the main resolution for the
National AGM at the Royal Albert Hall ,
which was of the NHS failing in health
and social care and assessing the need
for long-term nursing care. We all
agreed this and had a long discussion
about it. This left us no time for the quiz
organized by Joan Brown. Birthday
mugs went to Mary Belmair, Margaretta
Whiskin, Margaret Fox and Georgy
Morris. Janet Jary and Mary Ryan were
tea hostesses. Margaret Fox won the
raffle.
Our June meeting was also open to
visitors and we welcomed 6 members
from Ingoldisthorpe. Our speaker was
Ann Newmeir who talked about 'how to

pack your holiday suitcase'. She caused
much laughter with her stories of
travelling to different destinations,
especially on cruises and to hot
countries. Ann also told us of her
experiences in the many countries she
has visited.It brought back happy
memories of holidays enjoyed by us all.
Ann was thanked by Eileen Baxter. Tea
hostesses were Violet Giles, Heather
Box abnd Myrtle Roberts. The
competition of a holiday photo was won
by Wendy Twite, 2nd. Jan Eason, 3rd.
Mary Ryan.
We don't meet in the Village Hall for July
and August as we go on outings instead.
We will meet in the Leziate Village Hall
for our September meeting, which will be
for our Harvest Tea in this 100 years of
WI celebration year. Competition is a
home-made scarecrow up to 18 high.
Visitors welcome to this meeting.

Before they leave they are spending
three days at Horstead Residential

climbing.
On the last day of term they will be going
to Leziate Village Hall for a Leavers

'Goodbye my friend.'
We all have very fond memories of their
time spent at Ashwicken Primary, so
best wishes to everyone.

After a resounding performance of Jerusalem, a quiet and relaxed evening was the
aim of the meeting in June. The business of the meeting was postponed until the
evening's speaker Juyna Lewis a teacher of relaxation, gave her talk on the subject
and demonstrated the way in which you could apply simple methods to relax your
mind and body; which we then tried, the room falling very quiet, everyone very still
and peaceful.
The completion of the evening was for an object of over 100yrs, this was won by
Shelia Simpson, 2nd Penny Andrews and 3rd Margaret Ripon. After the welcome
refreshments the raffle was drawn, the winners were Kath Roberts, Valerie Bates,
Shelia Simpson and Margaret Neal.
As part of the centenary celebrations her Majesty the Queen, together with Princess
Ann the Princess Royal and HRH Sophie the Duchess of Wessex, were invited by
the WI to attend the National celebrations at the Royal Albert Hall. Each WI in Britain
were invited to send a member along However for those not going to that there was
a live transmission to different areas around the country. .
We at Gayton chose to go to the Little Theatre in Sherringham. It was a lovely day,
perfect for a trip to the lovely little coastal town. Unfortunately, although the
transmission worked well in the morning, it failed in the afternoon which was very
disappointing.
Not to worry the ladies of Gayton all enjoyed nice lunches and a little retail therapy.
Four ladies visited the Peter Coke (radio star Peter Temple)Shell Art exhibition, the
gallery was formally a fisherman's work shed which had been restored by the
Sherringham Preservation Society. Peter Coke was interested in the most beautiful
shells from all over the world, the artwork he produced with these is amazing and
well worth a visit.
Several of our ladies have also met up for lunches at the Sand Boy at Bawsey, and
the Mucky Duck at North Wooten. The July 7th Meeting is at The Gayton Jubilee Hall,
Mrs Ellen Howe will be demonstrating the art of making corn dollies.
The August 4th meeting, will be at The Wicken.
We would love to have new members and if you would like to come along for a
'taster' evening you are more than welcome. We meet in the Gayton Jubilee Village
Hall on the first Tuesday of the month.
The WI is the largest woman's organisation in Britain, as such it's voice is heard to
help make a difference on all kinds of situations across the. nation.

Meeting held 8th June 2015
information was required before any

consideration could be given to what
could be done with the exception site.
VAS sign
It was noted that the pole on Lynn Road
had not yet been moved to the new
position. It was agreed to contact
Westcotec, the company who installs
the poles, to expedite this.
The Council also felt that the

developers should undertake their own
consultation with residents regarding
the interest in self-build plots as this is
not something that the Council is
qualified to undertake.
Development of Old Mill Site

The Council welcomed James Bateson
and Greg Garland to the meeting. Mr
Garland addressed the Council and
residents present and noted that
outline planning permission has
already been granted for 34 homes on
the main site, however, he reported that
the developers are keen to also
develop the adjoining site (the
exception site) which is currently
outside of the development boundary
Jubilee Hall
It was agreed that contact details for the
Hall will be out onto the Gayton News
website.
Gayton Parish Council News
The developers advised that by offering

10 fully serviced building plots as selfbuild sites they can take advantage of a
possible change in Government
legislation in favour of self-builds which
will help to gain planning permission for
the exception site. The developers
asked the Parish Council to help to
them consult with the residents of
Gayton to ascertain interest in potential
self-build sites.
The Council acknowledged the
developers concept for the exception
site, however, felt that the main focus of
interest regarding the development of
the Old Mill Site is the way the 34 new
homes will be built and the highway and
other infrastructure that will be needed
should this occur. It was felt that this
Skatepark
The installation of the skatepark was
almost complete at the time of the
Councils meeting. The Council had
concerns over the contractor's decision
to place paving slabs alongside the
park given that it is a hard surface. It
was agreed to ask for professional
advice as to whether this is suitable or
not. It was noted that several people
have been using the skatepark already

Prayer for the summer holidays
Thank You Lord for the times of
refreshment and opportunities to go
away on a holiday so that we may
be renewed in body soul and spirit,
and pray that You would be with us
as we spend time away from the
hustle and bustle of the work-a-day
week and take time to rest awhile.
Watch over our journey as we travel
and protect us from all difficulties
and dangers. May we rest in You
and return refreshed in body soul
and spirit to Your praise and glory, in
Jesus name we pray, Amen

Text message sent by neighbour:
Hi Bob
This is Alan, next door. I'm sorry mate, but I have a confession to make to you. I've
been feeling quite guilty these past few months and have been trying to pluck up the
courage to tell you to your face, but I am at least now telling you in this text message.
The truth is, I have been sharing your wife day and night when you're not around. In
fact, probably more than you, particularly in the mornings after you've left for work. I
haven't been getting it at home recently, but that's no excuse I know. The temptation
was just too much. I hope you will accept my sincerest apologies and forgive me. I
promise that it won't happen again. Regards. Alan
The Reaction
Bob, feeling anguished and betrayed, immediately went into his bedroom. Grabbed
his gun, and without a word, shot his wife twice, killing her instantly. He returned to
the lounge where he poured himself a stiff drink and sat down on the sofa. He took
out his phone to respond to the neighbour's text and saw he had another message.
Hi Bob,
This is Alan next door again. Sorry about the slight typo on my last text, I expect you
worked it out anyway, but as I'm sure you noticed , my predictive text changed 'Wifi'
to' Wife'. Technology Hey? Hope you saw the funny side of that. Regards, Alan
Pan Fried Pineapple (for 4)

Ingredients: 1 pineapple, 1 lime, 1 tsp of ground cinnamon, small knob of butter,
2 tblsp maple syrup,
Method: Top and tail the pineapple. Peel and remove the eyes.
Cut into wedges and discard the core.
Mix together the lime zest, juice and cinnamon
Heat together the butter and maple syrup in a large frying pan, add the pineapple
wedges and cook for 5-6 mins, turning until warmed through and golden .Add the
spiced lime juice mixture and cook for 1 min. ( I must confess that at this point I add
a generous tblsp of Marsala wine and a few coriander seeds!) Serve with a
flavoured ice-cream or as I do, with cinnamon cream. This can also be served cold.
And Finally : Courtesy of Poetic Expressions

Smiling is infectious, You catch it like the 'flu. When someone smiled at me today, I
started smiling too. I walked around the corner and someone saw me grin, when he
smiled, I realised I had passed it onto him. Keep smiling.

EAST WINCH NEWS
All Saints' Church News

Already, looking up, you can see the difference that is being made to the tower by the
repairs. The jackdaws have fledged, and the young are flying about with their short
stumpy tails, but bluetits and swifts have also nested in the tower. Precautions are
being taken not to disturb them.
The main entrance is blocked by scaffolding on the south porch, and anyone visiting
the church has to use the chancel door. Unfortunately people in wheelchairs or who
are unable to walk easily will find it difficult to get into the church for the time being.
Holiday Activities
The church will be open for Open Churches Week, August 1st-8th. On the 3rd, 5th
and 7th (Mon, Wed and Fri), Nell Steele will run holiday activities for primary school
aged children from 10-12. Activities will include Animal Magic and the Stories in the
Windows. Parents of young children will be asked to stay. Please get in touch if you
would like to help, or want to know more.
Poetry Reading Friday, 7th August at 7.30pm in church.

Nell, Irma and Mike have selected poems old and new, but not too serious: poems
we like and think you will too. Tickets 5 at the door. Refreshments in the interval.

An Apology
In the last couple of months we have been perplexed and frustrated that two of our
advertisers have suffered the copy of their adverts going skew whiff.
Why this has happened has been unclear as we do check copy beforehand. It seems
that minor glitches when uploading and font transfers could be the problem and we
hope that this is now resolved . In between time we offer our apologies, especially to
our advertisers Carl Manning and Sweepers and are grateful for their understanding
and kind words of encouragement.

QEH MATTERS
The CQC visited the hospital in June. It will be some weeks before they get the initial
report and I expect there will be a press release some time before I can put it in the
magazine. The Trust hope they have done enough to get out of Special Measures
but know there is still work to be done.
Windsor Ward, the specialist frailty ward, is now fully operational and patient
feedback has been good.
Nursing staff numbers have improved since January 2013. Unregistered nursing
staff has gone from 260 to 370 while registered nursing staff has gone from 750 to
825.
Dementia patients at the QE are the first in Norfolk to benefit from specialist
software and tablet computers. Dementia patients often feel confused when they
come into hospital and are at risk of further deterioration.
'Your Local Paper' has been supporting the appeal for the new wheelchairs. They
have raised enough for 22 out of the 30 chairs available.
The next Governors' Council meeting will be the Annual Meeting on 23rd July at Lynn
Sport. Members of the public are warmly welcomed. Please phone 01553 613142 if
you wish to attend.
