Tensions increase when agruesome discovery is made ina rubbish pit at the bottom ofthe garden. The finger of suspicion pointstowards Hubert, Olivia’s ami-able but unexciting suitor and Dan, bell boy at the hotel, who has seduced themaid, Dora, and insinuated his way into the household, charming Mrs Bramsonwith his flattery and apparent concern for her well-being.But this play, with its incidents of humour as well as high drama, is not a straight-forward whodunit.

Jamboree Style StGeorge's Celebrations

This year the 1st SalhouseScout Group were the hosts ofthe District St George’s DayCelebration.

Lorraine Henriksen reports‘Despite a dull start to the dayweather-wise, the sun shone forour parade of 550 Beavers,Cubs, Scouts and Explorersand their Leaders from acrossthe North East Norfolk Scouts

District (Scouts from Blakeney, Holt, Sheringham, Cromer, Aylsham, North Wal-sham, Mundesley, Stalham, Hoveton & Wroxham, Hainford & Frettenham and, ofcourse, Salhouse who hosted this year’s St George’s Day Celebration) as theymarched from the playing field in Thieves Lane, Salhouse to the Gorse Meadowfield at Salhouse Broad (1.2 miles in all) - the exact location of the 1930 Jam-boree which was attended by our Founder, Lord Baden Powell (B-P) and PrinceGeorge.

We were thrilled therefore that B-P’s grandson,Robin Baden Clay and his wife, Sue, were ableto join us this year (all the way from their homein Dorset) for the whole day. Mr Clay wasclearly moved to be able to join in our celebra-tions and was able to read extracts from hisgrandfather’s diaries. Mr Clay said “I do feel itis very important that, by attending such rallies,the young people see that they are a part ofsomething SO much bigger than just their ownpack or troop, and that they are part of “TheGreatest Movement for Peace that the World has ever known.”

The impressive parade was led by ‘St George on Horseback’ and accompanied bythe Band of the T.S. Norfolk Sea Cadets from Gorleston, under the careful watchof their Officer in Charge, AS/Lt (SCC) S. Carver RNR and consisted of 550young people, 135 leaders with 250 parents and family members following. Fortysix flags from each section of every group across the district were paraded, led bythe Queen’s Colour, the St George Flag and the North East Norfolk District ScoutColour and formed a Guard of Honour as they entered the field through an im-pressive castellated gateway, which had been built especially for the event by 1stSalhouse members. Mr Baden Clay reviewed the parade and took the salute withDistrict Commissioner, Paul Henriksen and the new High Sheriff of Norfolk,Major General Sir William Cubitt, KCVO, CBE.

The main celebration was led by Reverend Canon Andrew Beane - Vicar of Ayl-sham and District Chaplain, with every section’s flag impressively flying in thebreeze at the front of the arena. The main gathering included each group takingforward, one by one, a neckerchief, linking it together with the previous ‘necker’with a ‘Friendship Knot’, lots of campfire-style songs including ‘Ging GangGoolie’ and ‘Give Me Joy in My Heart (Shout for Scouting)’ – led by friends ofSalhouse Group, Andy Betts and Andrew Hudson) - and a ‘Mexican Wave’ stunt.All 550 scouts, leaders and helpers also made their Renewal of Promises.

County Commissioner, Nickie Chapman, attended especially to present a coveted‘Silver Acorn’ Award to the Group Leader of Hoveton & Wroxham – TerryHughes. Terry was also thrilled to have been invited and was very much lookingforward to attending the National Awards Ceremony at Windsor Castle on the fol-lowing Sunday.

District Commissioner, Paul Henriksen, also introduced special guest, Mrs. HilaryRichards, the Chief Executive of the children’s charity, Break who explained thatthe scout members present (aged from 6 years onwards - Beavers, Cubs, Scoutsand Explorers) had participated in some part of the Go, Go, Dragons! initiativeslast summer, with several sections taking the Dragon Trail either with leaders or

with parents - many Dragons were painted,modelled and moulded over the months, as wellas dragon quizzes and challenges devised,medieval costumes made etc.

Hilary presented Go, Go, Dragons! gifts asprizes to the youngsters who put the most effortinto collecting their pennies in the Break Go,Go, Dragons! collecting boxes last summer – theyoung people who received Go, Go, Dragons!mugs as prizes were three scouts from 1st Bux-ton Lamas (Sea Scouts) - Patrick Johns, Lily-Mai Spinks and Finn Overton and, from 1stStalham Cubs, Alfie Smith, Casey Talbot andConnie Battley. (Alfie and Casey are still in thepack as Cubs but Connie has moved up toScouts now.)

We are not sure how much each child collected but do know that Casey filled herbox to the top with small change and topped it up with her own pocket money tomake sure it was “really full”. Consequently, Hilary presented Casey with a MiniDragon (Patch) as a special congratulations for her efforts.

We were also really pleased that we were able to have our own Scouting Dragon‘Bajestic’ on site for the celebrations. She ‘flew’ in from her new home at theEaton Vale Activity Centre to spend the day with us, and by kind permission ofMr Daniel Dawson-Gordon of the Norfolk Antique & Reclamation Centre, one ofthe Duelling Dragons sculptures also watched over us.

In this Centenary year of Cub Scouting, we have many other celebrations plannedincluding a District Camp at Holt Hall over the Spring Bank Holiday weekend,but we particularly wanted to make this St George’s Day an extra special Jam-boree-style Celebration for our scouting youngsters and their families to enjoy. Inkeeping with the medieval theme, our central celebration included the story of StGeorge and the Dragon, vividly recounted to the gathering by storyteller-DaveTonge. This led the youngsters nicely into the activities that followed, includingthe chance to try medieval activities found in a medieval village provided by fam-ily members of the Norfolk and Norwich Medieval Association, 14th Century re-enactment group.

They were able to enjoy ‘come and try’ archery, hobby horse jousting, fightingknights with favours, dressing-up as knights, sling shot demos, and medievalgames, and also allowed to strike their own commemorative coins. There werealso some beautiful birds of prey which the youngsters were able to hold, sword-making for the young Beavers, a ‘living village’ with ‘medieval’ cooking, craftingskills, board games, historical dancing demonstrations with audience participa-tion, a storyteller, static birds of and so on with the afternoon rounded-off by anamazing hog roast for everyone - and lots of sunshine!’

Onward & Upward forElite Care in CromerElite Care Cromer have moved from Louden Road to Brook Street inCromer. Larger premises will prove an asset for the company in manyways. Most important of all is that staff training, which is a mandatory requirement, can be given comfortably in-house in the much expandedtraining facilities."This was absolutely key for me," said owner Tee Carver. "We now haveall the space and facilities we need in one place. This allows us to ensure

our hand-picked staff are properly supported with training and mentoring centrally. Our objective is to provide the kind of care that is delivered with empathy for those we serve, supporting independence, respecting individuality and privacy. It is for that reason we have never undertaken 15 minute visits; we view them as worthless; 15 minutes issimply not enough time to fulfil any task efficiently. Above all we listenand pay attention to detail, we ask ourselves how would we want to betreated in your shoes."Tee continued, "Our staff love the new premises with nice kitchen at theback - it's so much more comfortable, staff are able to pop in during theday and have a break, they are already using the training room for studysessions. Our clients will also feel more comfortable in the spacious reception area. The recent ‘Open Day’ proved a huge success and Tee hasresolved to make this an annual event. “It has been lovely to welcome service users back since the Open Day day who simply called infor a cup of tea” she said.Elite Care was formed to fill a perceived gap in the Home Care sector, Tee,the Registered Manager, had difficulty in securing the kind of care shewanted for her mother, a Dementia sufferer."As a growing enthusiastic team weaim to serve as yourcompetent, enthusiastic and reliablecare team. Our staff willalways accommodateyour needs with professional, attentiveservice, the focus will beon your abilities ratherthan something you can-not do.

MayIt's a beautiful day in the middle of May,not a cloud in the bright blue sky.I'm sitting on a little stone bridgewatching the fish swim by.

I have a packed lunch with me,no need to walk back home.Sometimes I think it's reallygreat to be out on my own.

How lovely are the buttercups,this field has a golden glow,I must remember to pick a few before I have to go.

Evolution of dermal fillers - do we now have somethingthat delays ageing?• Dermal filler treatments are non-surgical treatments• Fillers can soften lines and wrinkles• Fillers can be used to restore lost facial volume• Fillers can be used to provide a three-dimensional facelift• New research shows they can hold back years• There are more than 200 fillers in use, not all are safe• Most experts recommend avoiding permanent fillers• Improper use can cause problems• Treatments are largely unregulated so choose your practitioner wisely• At the Coltishall Cosmetic Clinic we specialise in providing a natural look and work hard to provide a safe and comfortable treatment.

Restylane range of dermal fillers has been used for 20 years and 28 million treatments have been carried out worldwide.

Dr Sanjay Gheyi MBBS MS FRCS BCAAM, Medical Director at theColtishall Cosmetic Clinic says “they come and they go, but Restylanehas stood the test of time. It is not that we shy away from new treatments. For those of you who know us-we have invested heavily innew technology and have 18 state-of-the-art lasers and light devices.”

Dr Gheyi has personally carried out thousands of Restylane treatmentsover the last ten years and it works, is very cost effective and it lastslonger than many other products on the market.

“When we first started doing dermal filler treatments the emphasis wason filling lines and wrinkles, I saw with interest as gradually we beganto understand how our face ages and deflate with time. So the focusshifted to replacing lost volume. We moved from filling lines and wrinkles to adding volume. We also knew that in addition to loss of volume, gravity takes its toll and face begins to sag. We never thought that using fillers could fight gravity-un till new research came out just

now that shows it is possible. We now have evidence that usinghyaluronic acid dermal fillers strengthens the deeper layer of the face.This firms up deeper tissue, which resists gravitational descent. We cansay with confidence that use of our treatments can delay ageing”.

What are the risks?In general these are safe treatments when performed by reputable and experienced doctors. This area is however largely unregulated so choose wisely. Although there are many voluntary regulators, the only legitimate regulator of health care in England is Care Quality Commission so using a CQC registered clinic should guarantee minimum safeguards. Experience and results of your practitioner is the most important factor.

Janet Ellis - Writing for CharityThey say everyone has a book in them. I think this is very true but in mycase, I have written three.Let’s just say one book led to another. It is very rewarding when you seeyour book in print with its shiny cover and more importantly with your nameon the cover! But for me, it’s more than just publishing books. My mission isto sell as many books as I can so I can donate the profits on sales to two verydeserving charities, Cancer Research UK and the British Heart Foundation.You can read the reasons why I have chosen these two charities on ClifftopPublishing’s website www.clifftoppublishing.com.The website also provides details about my Greek themed books. All areavailable to purchase through Amazon in both paperback and Kindle ver-sions. The first to be published was ‘Timotheus Pserimos Puss’, a lighthearted short story about a cat. This was followed by ‘On the Verge’, a novelbased on a young woman’s diaries. Then there is my book of recipes whichincorporates travelogues and is titled, ‘The 3R’s – Recipes Reflections &Reminsicences’. By the way, you don’t have to like Greece to enjoy mybooks.

I will be at the Overstrand Summer Fair on 24 July, where you can take alook at samples of my books, as well as being able to purchase signedcopies. In October, as part of this year’s COAST programme of events, I willbe giving a talk titled, ‘Writing by the Sea’. This will be an informal eventwhere I will cover the pros and cons of self-publishing. By then I plan tohave completed my fourth book - a collection of short stories.If you buy one or all of my books – I do hope you enjoy my stories andrecipes.

Northrepps Primary Schoolpupils take atrip throughNorfolk’s WWIhistory

Oak Class at NorthreppsPrimary School have receivedcertificates for completing thePillbox Trail across NorthNorfolk. The trail takes in up to 14 First World War pillbox gun emplacementspositioned to defend the UK from German invasion.

North Norfolk District Council Leader Cllr Tom FitzPatrick and theCouncil’s Chairman Annie Claussen-Reynolds congratulated the pupilson their achievement and gave them their Pillbox Trail certificates.

Cllr FitzPatrick said “This is such an important part of our nation’s andNorth Norfolk’s history, and it’s great to get young people out and aboutwalking through history. On this trail you can really imagine what it

might have been like 100 years ago when our coast was threatened byinvasion.” At least 48 pillboxes were known to have been built in Norfolk duringthe First World War, of which 24 currently survive, the majority being inNorth Norfolk. Bethany Ann Waller, 8, who received a certificate, said “It was really interesting visiting the pillboxes. The soldiers must have been so brave.They risked their lives to protect Britain.” The Pillbox Trail forms part of North Norfolk’s World War I CentenaryCommemorations 2014-2018 and offers a unique opportunity to visitand view many of the remaining WWI pillboxes in North Norfolk.

Cllr Claussen-Reynolds said “We’rereally proud of our part in the WorldWar I centenary commemorationswith the Pillbox Trail. These vitalevents in history need to be remembered and understood by newgenerations and I’m so pleased OakClass walked the trail and saw NorthNorfolk’s pillboxes and all theymean.”Claussen-Reynolds is to the right ofthe group.

A GroveMiscellanyA few reminiscences of 75 years atThe Grove, by John Graveling.

Part 3 - THE WAR YEARS.

I was just a young boy under three years oldwhen hostilities with Germany broke out. Itwas only after the start that I became oldenough to remember what happened. Although Cromer was teeming with troops,and planes were daily flying overhead withair raid warnings almost every night, I neverremember being frightened. In fact for usboys living around here it was exciting. Wewould march behind the soldiers when theywere on parade and somehow we managedto collect all manner of army cap badges.(How did we do that?) The army placed bigguns on the cliffs and we knew all the tunnels to and from them. We came torecognise Spitfires, Hurricanes, Lancastersand American flying fortresses. Then therewere Messerschmits and Heinkels. It wasfar more exciting then anything on televisionnowadays. This was for real! I guess our parents didn’t think like this.Each night we had to go through the routineof “blackout”. All windows had to be covered with black blinds so that not thefaintest crack of light could be seen through.The ARP’s and the police seemingly took adelight in finding a house which did not conform. As children we feared this morethan enemy bombs. Not that we had manybombs in Cromer. Mostly planes flew overto drop their loads on the industrial midlandsand then flew back empty. There was onlythe occasional stick dropped here althoughthese did cause a lot of damage and death inthe centre of the town.

Many houses were fitted out with

“Morrison” shelters which were like a steeltable which could be used as such, but thenyou crawl underneath to get protection frombombs. We never aspired to one of these.Instead my mother and father would usherus into the kitchen where we had to getunder the kitchen table for safety. I guessthis gave some feeling of security but thekitchen table, which is still there, was soweak that in 1980 we had to add an extra legto keep it standing. A five legged table. Andthere we would all sit until the “all clear”siren.

It was during the early part of the war thatthe war ministry thought that Germanymight invade at Cromer. There was goodreason for thinking this. Just up OverstrandRoad on the top of the hill was a fine hotelby the golf course – The Royal Links Hotel.This was going to be Hitler’s headquartersafter the invasion (would you believe), sothe instruction went out to blow up one ofthe spans of the pier. This was scheduled formidday. Everyone in the town was instructed to open their windows to preventthem being broken by the blast wave. Midday came and nothing happened. Oneo’clock came.. then two o’clock.. then threeo’clock..By four o’clock it was getting coldand it obvious that nothing would happen soeveryone closed their windows. Suddenly

there was an almighty bang. Bits of steelflew over the Hotel De Paris and landed inChurch St; windows were blown in and thepier was one span missing. This was whatprevented Hitler invading England!

It did cause one problem. There was now noaccess to the lifeboat on the end of the pierso a temporary bridge had to be erected

across the empty span. This was made oftimber and if a few of us boys got on it andjumped in unison the bridge would vibrateup and down. We always knew when tostop. Mr Richard Barclay (mentionedabove) gave us an interesting corrolary tothis as he was living in Cromer at the timeand took a keen interest in the lifeboat. Apparently at midday the charge was in factdetonated but it was far too small to do anysignificant damage, so the army sent for abigger set of explosives. What they receivedwas far, far bigger than necessary but theyused it regardless with the resultant enormous bang.

Richard Barclay also gave some other interesting insights into Cromer. His fatherwas Rev Gilbert Barclay the vicar of Cromerfrom 1939 to 1946. Two of his sons werekilled during the war and understandably, hiswife, Mrs Barclay did not care much forGermans. However during the war a youngGerman pilot crashed and was brought intoCromer Hospital. Mrs Barclay, being thevicars wife was asked to visit him. Very reluctantly she did so and found him to be acharming young man who spoke almost perfect English and had a great knowledgeof Norfolk. She enquired how this should beand he informed her that during the 1930’she had been sent to Norfolk for long periodsin order to spy out the land ready for any invasion!

Recently Asked Questions andAnswers from the Clapham &Collinge Commercial TeamBy Philip Lumb, Consultant Solicitor in theBusiness Support Team

Q1 Would I be able to obtain a loan against my houseto invest in a Business?It is possible to borrow money against your house by either a secured loan or a further advance against yourmortgage and subject to your own financial

circumstances. There are likely to be conditions with any such lending, and particularly where you have an existing mortgage you should check terms thatmay already be in place as to any further lending. The best person to advise youin the first instance will be your mortgage broker, bank or independent financialadviser. Bear in mind that borrowing against your home will always carry the riskof re-possession if you unable to make the repayments. Financial advisers will beable to discuss different options with you, as well as the potential for obtainingany other types of loan which may not need to be secured against your home.You should also remember that if you jointly own the property with another person, you will need their consent to use the property as security for the business. They will also likely need to obtain their own independent legal adviceas a part of the lending process.Q2 I am planning on working from home in 2016. Do I need any kind of in-surance of other official certification?This may depend upon the nature of the work that you do and if you require anyminimum levels of insurance to be in place. Your mortgage lender and home insurance company may also be required to give their approval and again this willdepend upon the type of work you undertake. You will also need to considerwhether you are covered in respect of any risks to visitors to your property andtherefore consider whether you are adequately covered for public liability insurance. Similarly, if you use your vehicle for business purposes you will needto upgrade your level of insurance to include this, particularly if you will be travelling to different places for your work. Bear in mind that if you have valuable equipment at your home as a result of using it as a workplace, this mayfall outside the scope of your home and contents insurance. You should speak toan insurance broker as to the appropriate levels of cover.Q3 We are an online business but our HQ & servers are based in an area thatis susceptible to flooding. Do we have to declare this to new and existingclients? It sometimes happens but hasn't for years.

You must be careful not to misrepresent the reliabilityof the service you are offering. You should assesswhether the risk of flooding is reasonably foreseeableand be honest with any existing, new or prospectiveclients as to any difficulties you may have experiencedpreviously. It may be worth considering (if possible)whether the risk is great enough that moving your HQand servers would impact less on your business in thisrespect. In any event, you should look to implement aflood plan and what will happen if your business is affected by flooding.

You should also consider updating your terms and conditions of business to include provision for what will happen if an event occurs which is outside of yourcontrol and stops your business from providing the goods or services under thecontract. These clauses are commonly known as "force majeure" clauses.Q4 How often should you update your original business plan? Would a Solicitor charge just to look it over?

You should update your business plan regularly and in accordance with your business needs; for some businesses this may be as frequent as at least once amonth to review planned estimates for the month against actual figures and performance. It is also advisable to do this whenever circumstances change whichmay alter the direction your business takes, for example, winning or losing a contract tender. As a minimum, you should look to conduct a thorough overhaulonce year.

A solicitor will be able to provide advice to you about the legal decisions whichmay impact on the growth of your business, for example, renewing a lease ofpremises, any employment law difficulties, or the best way to contract with thirdparties to minimise the risk against any claims. Solicitors should set out any coststhey may charge for considering your business plan at the outset, and may be ableto agree a cap or fixed fee for doing so, although it may be best to speak to yourindependent financial adviser or accountant in the first instance regarding yourbusiness plan.

At Clapham & Collinge Solicitors we have a dedicated team of expert solicitors who can provide you with all of the necessary information, supportand legal advice, in relation to employment law, commercial and businessservices. For more information, or if you require advice on any other legalmatter, please contact Clapham & Collinge Solicitors on 01263 823398, [email protected] or visit www.clapham-collinge.co.uk.

Mural showcases life-sized mammothsthat once roamed North Norfolk coast.

The promenade wall in Sheringham isnow home to a mural depicting Neolithiclife, including a herd of life-sized

mammoths.

Local artistDavid Barberhas volunteeredhis time to create the extraordinary tributeto the Deep HistoryCoast with £500funding for materialsfrom North Norfolk District Council, in

partnership with The Sheringham Society.

Cllr BeckyPalmer, Cabinet member forLeisure andCulture said“The DistrictCouncil isproud to have

been able to fund such an impressive artworkand support David Barber in this project. Themural isn’t even finished yet and already it’sthe talk of the town. It is a real boost to theDeep History Coast and Sheringham itself.” The mural was inspired by the excavation in1995 of the 700,000-year-old skeleton of the

West Runton steppe mammoth.

The 13-foot tall skeleton is the oldest everfound in the UK and the largest nearly-complete mammoth skeleton known.

The mural project includes education outreach so school children can take part inpainting sessions. In addition, there will betalks about the Deep History Coast sharing information on the local ancient environmentand prehistory of Britain.

CHEER ON DONKEY DUO AT SPECIALBIRTHDAY PARTYAs the country prepares to cheer on Sir Bradley Wiggins at this year’sRio Olympics, visitors to Redwings Horse Sanctuary’s Aylsham VisitorCentre are also being invited to cheer on two special donkeys at theirbirthday party this summer.Outgoing and mischievous Wiggins was named in honour of Sir BradleyWiggins, having arrived at Redwings shortly after the athlete cycled tovictory at the London Olympics in 2012. Poor Wiggins was taken in bythe charity, which cares for 1,500 horses, ponies, donkeys and mules atcentres across the UK, after being discovered abandoned. At the same time, the owner of a donkey called Wacko contacted Redwings asking for urgent help in finding him a new home after thelivery yard he had been living at closed down. The two lonely donkeyswere brought together by Redwings and struck gold by finding friendship in each other.The inseparable duo proved such a hit with visitors that they quicklyjoined the charity’s Adoption Club, which allows supporters to sponsoran Adoption Star resident for just £12.50 a year, with every penny goingdirectly towards their daily care and that of their friends.Supporters can visit their Adoption Star for free during any open day atthe centre where they live and receive updates on their four-leggedfriend’s progress. They are even invited to celebrate their new friend’sbirthday with a party where supporters can join in the fun and festivities,while their Adoption Star tucks into a specially made cake, just for them!Wiggins and Wacko, who can be adopted jointly, will be celebratingtheir 12th birthday with a party at Redwings Aylsham, north of Norwich,on Sunday 12 June at 11am.

Gemma Walpole, Redwings’ Head of Fundraising, said “Having beenlonely for so long, Wiggins and Wacko have flourished into lovable andmischievous donkeys since finding friendship in each other. We hope asmany people as possible will be able to come along and cheer them on,just like Wiggins’ namesake!” And if partying with such a fun pair wasn’t enough, Redwings Aylsham’s other resident Adoption Stars will also be celebrating theirbirthdays this summer, including:• Beautiful ‘Black Beauty’ horse Maya on Sunday 15 May• Cheeky Miniature Shetland ponies The Gangsters on Sunday 24 July• Handsome thoroughbred cross horse Gulliver on Sunday 28 AugustRedwings Aylsham also provides a safe and happy home to 50 rescuedhorses, ponies, donkeys and mules who would love a cuddle too!Wiggins and Wacko’s birthday party will take place on Sunday 12 Juneat 11am.

SHERINGHAM SCAN ANGELHaving found two friendly dogs - wearing collars but with no phone number -loose in Sheringham on Saturday 23 April, Beckie Popham was a little stuck foroptions. The dog warden’s answer phone said the office was closed, and the vetsand police are not equipped to take in loose dogs.

Happily, due to the incredible power of Facebook, the two dogs were reunited with their joyful owners two hours later.

However if the owners had not had Facebook, or if they were tourists who did nothave the same contacts, or if they were lying injured somewhere, it might not have been so easy.

As it is now law that all dogs are microchipped, Beckie came up with the ideathat there should be a community scanner available to anyone who finds a lostdog after hours and at weekends. After an appeal for donations, a scanner has been purchased through Scanner Angels (www.scannerangel.com) and a willing volunteer has been registered as Sheringham’s Scan Angel.

If you find a dog, you must contact the local authority dog warden immediately and arrange for them to collect the dog. This is a requirement by UK law. The dog warden will scan for a microchip to try to contact the owners. The local phone number for the dog warden for Sheringham is 01263 516085.

However if they are closed, or if you find a cat or other pet, you now have another option: Contact Sheringham’s Volunteer Scan Angel Cara Glassfield on01263 826303 or 07787 405951. Cara can arrange to meet with you and will scanthe animal for you.

Cara will be available to contact on the phone between 8am – 9pm seven days aweek. After 9pm you may send a Facebook message but please do not expect aresponse until the next morning. If anyone wishes to be an Overnight Scan Angelplease contact Cara.

For more information and to raise awareness, please join and share our FacebookPage North Norfolk Microchip Scan Angel.

If there are any other people in local towns who have a scanner and could alsovolunteer to do this service, registering with Scanner Angel costs just £43.

Asparagus and parmesan risotto

What a lovely time of year here inCromer, with the blossom through on theapple trees and the new herb garden flourishing under the watchful eyes of Estate Manager Nigel and Head of HerbsAnn Graveling.

The chefs wander through the Orangery toharvest the fresh leaves and flowers (without stopping at the bar of course…!)and get them straight onto the plates andinto the restaurant. Delicious.

We are into the full swing of the seasonnow, with very busy dining roomsthroughout the week. (We’ve also retainedour two AA Rosettes for the next year,which is a huge compliment for our teamhere). If you fancy dropping in for dinnerI would be great to see you – but it’s always a good idea to book on 01263512412!

John and Carole Cheshire, who hail from Nottingham, were married last month after manyyears together. The couple, both in their seventies,had been together for many years but decided to tiethe knot whilst on holiday in Venice last year.

Carole had proposed to John on three successiveLeap Years but with no success, then whilst theywere on a gondola last year, John popped the question.

Having both been married before and with theirhouse furnished with all they need, they decided toask wedding guests to give donations to the RNLI.

A poem was used in the wedding invitations which included the lines:

‘We support those who give their time for freeTo save people in distress upon the sea

The RNLI is such a worthy causeSo please donate without

a pause’

A donation of £300 was handed over to a representative of RNLI Cromer on Wednesday 13April by the honeymooning couple.

Carol said ‘It was a lovely family day and we allwanted to show our support for the RNLI. Being inCromer seemed the ideal place to donate to theRNLI’

Owners, Sam Homfray and Paula andDavid Audley told us “It is impossible to

explain how gratifying it is to receive thisfantastic result for a second year. The im-mense efforts put in by all our staff to en-sure the highest standards of food andservice are enjoyed by all our customershas earnt them all this fantastic recognition.”

THE NORTH NORFOLKGARDENERALPINE PLANTSThe love of alpines becomes more and more absorbing for many gardeners. The charm of theminiature, the romantic association with the moun-tains which are their traditional home, the satisfac-tion of the many easy and floriferous species and asthey become more expert, the challenge of thoseplants which are more difficult to grow. All thesefactors help to explain their attraction.Broadly speaking, alpine plants are those found inmountainous districts, that is, in the high alpinepastures above the tree line and in the actual rockycliffs arising from them. However, most gardenersuse the term alpines to include any species suitablefor growing in the rock garden, trough or unheatedalpine house. In general, this means plants that arereasonably hardy, perennial and compact in habit(usually six inches or less).It has been suggested that there are two extremetypes of alpine plantsmen. There are those for whoma rockery is primarily a pleasant and colourful addi-

tion to the garden, and those whosedelight is in the fascinating detailof each small plant – an enjoymentenhanced by segregating them inpots and pans and in bringing themnearer eye level in an alpine house,raised bed or cold frame.Alpines can be grown in rockgardens, sinks and troughs, ingravel or cracks in the paving or ina cold greenhouse. A alpine houseis of course the ideal, but an

unheated greenhouse with very ample ventilationwill give the plants the conditions they need.Whatever space and facilities you have there is roomfor alpines and here are some recommended plantsthat are in flower in my garden at the moment An-drosace sempervivoides – a fine Himalayan specieswhich has rosettes of leathery leaves and spreads by runners. Develops mats from which arise numerous5cm stems of pink flowers in April and May. An easyplant suitable for sunny screes or troughs.Saxifraga ‘Peach Melba’. One of the manywonderful saxifrages that are available. This varietyis best grown in pots but there are saxifrages avail-able for every situation. ‘Peach Melba’ has beautifullarge peachy-pink, flared flowers in sprays amongst

the light cushion of small-leaved evergreen foliage. Itis a slow growing perennial spreading to 15cms andprefers full sun or partial shade.Tulipa ‘Little Beauty’. A dwarf botanical tulip with abeautiful blend of bright red-pink flowers withpurple-blue centres. Many flowers are produced froma single bulb in April and at a height of just 12cmsare perfect for rockeries. Choose a sunny spot wherepossible, if not partial shade is fine. Plant around 10cm. deep in well-drained soil for best results.

Arabis caucasica ‘Little Treasure White’ is a compactvariety of this popular perennial rock plant, whichforms an evergreen mound covered for weeks inspring with fragrant white flowers. It is attractive tobees. Height and spread 10-15cms by 25-30cms.Suitable for rock gardens, as ground cover or cover-ing sunny banks. Thrives in most soils but likes fullsun. Cut hard back after flowering to maintain a neatshape.Alpines plants are widely available in garden centres and there are also local specialist nurseriessuch as West Acre Gardens near Swaffham.

Stunning cushions inspired bysome of Norfolk's most beautiful vistas will go onshow at a unique exhibitionlater this month.

The Spirit of Felbrigg Landscape exhibition features more than 40 beautiful cushions especially created by local textile artists and stitchers from across Norfolk.

Organised by the Norwich branch of the Embroiderers' Guild, the exhibition will see thecustom-made creations displayed around the famous National Trust property which inspiredthem.

During the exhibition, which runs from Saturday, 30 April to Wednesday29 June some of theartists who created thecushions will also bedemonstrating theirskills to visitors.

On Wednesday 25May and Sunday 12June exhibition goerswill be able to meetand see adult stitchersfrom the Guild in action, while on 2 June a special half-term event will be held by the award-winning Young Embroiderers' group.

The event is part of a nationwide collaboration

between the National Trustand the Embroiderers' Guild to mark the 300th anniversary of the birth ofLancelot 'Capability'Brown, who was responsible for the design ofmany of the charity's most stunning gardens.

At Felbrigg, the gardens arethought to have been influenced by Suffolk-bornand Norwich-educated Humphry Repton, wholived nearby. Repton is often regarded as the spiritual heir toBrown, and one of the last great English landscape designers.

The diverse cushions produced for the exhibition reflect many aspects of the

Felbrigg estate including its formallawns and borders, its woodland,and the Grade II listedwalled kitchen garden, as well as the surroundingnorth Norfolk landscape.

"Our members have produceddozens of unique works of art forthis fantastic anniversary exhibition,

and it is a real delight for them to be shown off inthe historic surroundings of Felbrigg Hall," saidEmbroiderers’ Guild committee member Jacqueline Goffin.

"Lush textiles have long been associated with ourgrand country houses, from pieces of tapestry and fabric art in their own right to impressive upholstery, curtains, and other soft

furnishings.

"That tradition is well alive at Felbrigg, as shownby the recentrestoration of theirornate tapestry carpet in the library,produced usingreplica traditionallooms. There are so

many techniques and styles that are intimately interwoven with a place like Felbrigg, and it is an honour for us to be a small part of that heritage."

The exhibition is open daily from 30 April to 29June. Entry to the exhibition is included withinthe normal admission charges for Felbrigg Hall.

THE NORTH & WEST NORFOLK

SOLICITORSWe offer a range of legal servicesacross North and West Norfolk.

Trust our specialists to give you the bespoke advice and support you need.

PanamaniaWritten by Miranda Marshall – Director at Hayes + Storr

Trusts have received all sorts of bad press over the last few weeks. They havebecome emblematic of underhand arrangements designed to deprive HMTreasury of their dues by those more than able to pay.

Let us examine some of the common misunderstandings.

• Trusts are only for the wealthy : wrong.

• Trusts are a way of concealing the true ownership : ah well, there is morethan a grain of truth in this; but the purpose of setting up a trust is often primarily protective and is usually with the best intentions.

• Trusts are for avoiding tax : generally, this is not the case. Trusts have theirown tax system which, put simply, often taxes them as severely as the veryhighest earners. If the income is paid out to beneficiaries, then usually theycan claim back that higher rate tax so the income they receive is taxed at thesame level as their own income.

What is certain is that trusts are complicated and the law behind them is oftenmisunderstood or poorly grasped, including by financial journalists eager for aquick headline.

So, why create a trust, if not for nefarious reasons?

The best and most frequent reason is to leave assets, often by Will on death, tochildren, the young or financially-immature. This way the funds can be used tohelp with their upbringing or education, at the discretion of those with theirbest interests at heart. Often, the funds are held back until they reach not just18 or 21 but more often 25. I have seen ‘vesting ages’ of as late as 30, wherethe parent or grandparent fears for the child and/or there is much growing upto be done. In the meantime, the trustees can make payments to or for the benefit of the eventual recipient.

Indeed, trusts can be a way of continuingto exercise control ‘from the grave’; butusually with kind intentions.

Trusts are also a way of making gifts tothose who are vulnerable so as to be ableto drip-feed funds to them throughouttheir life without making them ineligiblefor state benefits.

Trusts can be managed so that beneficiaries with drink, drug or other difficulties, which it is hoped they will intime overcome, can have the funds paid tothem when they will make better use ofthem.

The main use of trusts in tax planning is to pass assets on, without any reservation of benefit by the giver, without losing control and without seeingthe funds dissipated or otherwise misused. This means that the gift can bemade sooner than otherwise and it is more likely therefore to pass tax free.

Trusts arose as a legal concept when the Crusaders left their castles to othersto look after whilst they went off to the Holy Land and in case they did notcome back. Trusts have an honourable English legal tradition and must continue to do so.

“This article aims to supply general information, but it is not intended to constitute advice. Every effort is made to ensure that the law referred to is correct at the date of publication and to avoid any statement which may mislead. However no duty of care is assumed to any person and no liability isaccepted for any omission or inaccuracy. Always seek our specific advice”.

Bacton to Walcott Coastal Scheme– Downing Street MeetingA high-level meeting with Government was held last month to discussthe Bacton to Walcott Coastal Management Scheme and its potentialfunding.North Norfolk District Council, Norman Lamb MP, the EnvironmentAgency, The Crown Estate and the Operators of Bacton Gas Terminalmet with the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, The Right HonOliver Letwin MP. The meeting, held at 9 Downing Street, discussed the potential fundingand sought wider Government support for the coastal management proj-ect for the terminal and the adjacent villages of Bacton and Walcott. The scheme, if it is delivered, could involve ‘sandscaping’ the shoreline,effectively using high volumes of additional sand and natural processesto protect the coast. It is hoped that the scheme may attract further government funding toovercome an estimated shortfall in funds. Costs could be significantlyreduced if sand could be taken from a new site offshore from Bacton. The scheme has been modelled and work is currently underway on theenvironmental considerations. The Bacton Terminal Operators may have to consider going ahead with

their self-funded coastal protection scheme if funds cannot be found fora wider public scheme. This would be subject to the normal planningand consent processes and need to demonstrate mitigation for the widercoastal frontage. Deputy Leader of North Norfolk District Council, Cllr Angie Fitch-Tillett said “This was a good opportunity for us to present our case at thehighest level of Government so there is a clear understanding of whythis work is vital for the community.” North Norfolk MP Norman Lamb said “I believe it is essential to find away to ensure that Bacton and Walcott benefit. It would not be accept-able for the proj-ect to be limitedto protecting thegas terminal. I amgrateful to OliverLetwin for seeingus. Now the gov-ernment must finda way of ensuringthat the fullscheme can goahead.”

2484 Food ParcelsDistributed by Cromer& District Food Bankin Last YearOver 2484 three day emergency food supplieswere provided to local people by Cromer &District foodbank in the 2015/16 financial year,compared to 2188 in 2014/15. In 2015/16 39%were children.The top three reasons for foodbank referral

were benefit delay, lowincome and debt.Over the last year, local people donated 25tonnes of food to Cromer & District Foodbank,and over 100 people volunteered. Localschools, businesses and faith groups have provided vital support to the foodbank, enabling us to give three days’ nutritionallybalanced food and support to people in crisis.As well as providing emergency food, Cromer& District foodbank provides essentials likewashing powder, nappies and hygiene products

to families who are struggling, as well as signposting them to other services in the localarea. Cromer & District foodbank are partner-ing with Citizens Advice to provide additionalservices such as welfare advice, budgeting helpand debt support at the foodbank itself, helpingpeople to break out of crisis.

Ella King, Cromer & District Foodbank Man-ager, says “Behind these statistics are real peo-ple in real crisis through no fault of their own.”

Leave Campaign North NorfolkCo-ordinatorFollowing designation of the official ‘Leave’campaign in the upcoming EU referendum,Jack Smith has been appointed the ‘VoteLeave’ North Norfolk coordinator.

The campaign will focus on street stalls in the various market and seaside towns of North Norfolk.

Successful stalls have already been held in Sheringham and Wroxham.Jack Smith said “I look forward to working hard with anyone, from anypolitical persuasion, to get a Leave vote on 23 June. This is the biggestdecision the British people will ever make. We’ve a clear choice, do wewant to stay in the ever federalising EU, which has plans for an EUArmy, police force and border force, or do we break away, make ourown future and regain independence, making our own trade deals, policing our own borders and protecting our NHS?”

Why Vote Leave? To stop sending £350 million to Brussels each week,and use the money more wisely, on our priorities, such as the NHS andschools. We can truly regain control over our borders, and make theBritish laws and courts supreme again in this country.

The Vikings' poor late season form continued as they concluded theirLeague season with two home games.

Their 13 all draw with Old Priorians was a fairly drab affair, but the 29 -21 defeat by CS Rugby was a good advert for rugby at this level. Theyfinished a respectable 6th in London North One, two places higher thanlast season.

The Club's second string, the Raiders, unbeaten since 3 October,crowned their successful season by winning their League and being promoted to Eastern Counties North Two.

There was plenty of success too in the Youth and Minis section. TheColts recently won the Eastern Counties Plate Cup defeating Colchester

26 -24 in a pulsating final, so emulating both the Under 16s and Under13s who won Norfolk Cup competitions. On the second weekend inApril the Minis (pictured) enjoyed their annual tour weekend.
