Order seed catalogues, for variety why not consider companies that specialize in old and rare varieties or wildflowers?

Take Root cuttings of woody shrubs and evergreens, such as azaleas, holly, and hydrangea.

Spring flowering bulbs can be planted; chose from daffodils, Dutch iris, freesia, anemone, oxalis, ranunculus, watsonia, hyacinth, crocus, and tulips.

Now is a good time to plant and transplant evergreen trees, shrubs and ground covers.

Plant paper white narcissus in a stone filled bulb pan in early November to have blooms for Christmas.

Keep the garden tidy: Throw leaves, weeds, and spent annuals and vegetables into the compost heap.

Dig up tuberous begonias, trim dried leaves and stalks, brush off the soil and store the tubers in a cool dry place until spring.

Divide overcrowded perennials that have finished flowering.

An application of fertilizer is very beneficial to a lawn, it promotes root developement without excessive top growth.

Keep an eye on pot plants, soil pulled away from the pot rim of houseplants means inadequate watering. Soak the pot in a sink full of water, then drain thoroughly.

It has been 75 years since R. J. Mitchell’s prototype Spitfire first took off from Eastleigh Aerodrome (later Southampton Airport) on the 5th March 1936, and despite initial teething troubles soon became a firm favourite amongst RAF pilots. Its place in history (alongside the Hurricane) will forever be cemented in British hearts due to its success during the Second World War and the ‘Battle of Britain’, becoming a symbol of heroic endeavour in the face of tremendous tyranny and overwhelming odds. Winston Churchill accurately captured the mood of the nation when he uttered those famous words that “never in the field of human conflict has so much been owed by so many to so few” in a speech to the House of Commons on 20th August 1940.The Spitfire’s intrinsic beauty, speed and agility along with the sound of its famous Rolls Royce Merlin/Griffin engines, combined with the immense bravery, skill and selflessness of the men who flew it has made the Spitfire a national treasure and icon of British fortitude in the pursuit of freedom. Sadly, there have been many other conflicts where British servicemen and women have been called to show a similar valour in the face of adversity and at their nation’s request - most notably the current conflict in Afghanistan. Times and technology may have moved on, but the Spitfire and the men who flew it, without glorifying war, continues to act as a potent reminder and symbol of British resolve in the face of adversity and an inspiration to the current generation to maintain it. Symbols and icons have immense value and power, and for many, none more so than the cross of Christ - for the cross reminds us of how one man’s life and death also achieved ‘so much for so many’; providing the believer with a new and current freedom, a forgiveness of past wrongs and a concrete and steadfast future hope. However, just as

Page 9: Pickenhams' Periodical

those who flew the Spitfire might have been victorious, the plane itself reminds us of the continuing need to fight for justice and the preservation of the peace. The cross of Christ is no different, it inspires us to continue to live our lives in such a way that we might be worthy of the love and valour shown to the world on that day and reminds us of the need to do so to the best of our ability: But here is the crucial difference, we don’t do so in our strength alone but in God’s.It is my hope that as we remember with gratitude the bravery of those who have served their country in two world wars and other conflicts that we might also do so ‘in church’ appreciating how their endeavours mirror that greater context of the one who loved the world so much that he ‘gave his only son’.

Yours as ever, Stephen Thorp

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life”

Swaffham shed burglaries prompt warningPolice in Swaffham are urging allotment holders to pay extra attention to shed security following a number of break-ins.The warning comes as police continue to investigate a number of incidents of theft and criminal damage in Swaffham and Watton.Overnight on September 24th offenders used an object to damage the door of a shed in the grounds of St Mary the Virgin Church on Browns Lane, Houghton, although nothing was stolen from inside.Crime prevention advice offered Norfolk Constabulary includes:• Do not neglect the hinge and use security screws or bolts through their fixings• Fit good quality mortice locks or padlocks 1/3 up and 1/3 down on the door

to reduce the leverage available• Secure the windows with a weld mesh or a crime shield product

secured from the inside. Remove the window if it is not required.• Fit a security light and shed alarm to deter potential thieves• Use padlocks and chains to secure high value items including power tools,

lawnmowers and cycles to an anchor and each other• Overtly security mark your property with your house number and postcode.F o r m o r e i n f o r m a t i o n o n c r i m e p r e v e n t i o n a d v i c e a n d s e c u r i t y i t e m s s u c h a s a l a r m s a n d p r o p e r t y m a r k i n g k i t s c o n t a c t t h ePo l ice Communi ty Suppor t Off i cer Pau l Ba i ley a t Swaffham Safer Ne ighbourhood Team on the non-emergency number 101.

No. 222 The HaNoveriaNs Part 38 T h e E a r l y Y e a r s o f W i l l i a m I V

William and his elder brother, Frederick, remained at Kew Green for their education by the order of their father, King George III, even though they hated it. They rose at 6am for exercise and then at 8am trooped off to Dutch House nearby for a strained and still breakfast with their parents. The morning was devoted to lessons, Prince William showing a special aptitude for mathematics. The menu at lunch was restricted to a carefully prescribed list of dishes ordained by the Queen and after the meal they were allowed to play games or work on a nearby model farm before a final formal visit to their parents and an early bedtime.This came to an end in their early teens. Frederick joined the army and William, as expected, the Navy. The King was well aware that Parliament was in no mood to grant sufficient funds for all his children to live as parasites on the public purse so suitable employment needed to be found. In William’s case there was another motive, for he was already showing signs of his family’s passionate nature having seduced at least one of his mother’s Maids of Honour. Accordingly on 15th June 1779 he joined Admiral Robert Digby’s ship the Prince George at Spithead as a midshipman, the lowest ranking officer. The thirteen year old was popular with the crew especially as he did not expect his title to be used.The Prince saw action in the English Channel and his ship took part in the British victory of Cape St Vincent. The fleet duly proceeded to Gibraltar, relieving the besieged garrison on the island before returning to England in February 1780. Granted leave, he went home in May and was granted a hero’s welcome. More duty in the Channel followed with plenty of leave, spending Christmas back with his parents. It was during these holidays that he became involved with his first serious amorous encounter.In January 1781 William was observed ‘animatedly’ dancing

Page 17: Pickenhams' Periodical

with a Miss Julia Forescue at a ball given at St James’ Palace in honour of the Queen’s birthday. His parents were quick to take alarm at this adolescent infatuation, particularly when it was rumoured that he wished to marry the young lady. The Prince must be swiftly despatched back to sea, they decreed. Before the end of the month he was back on his ship cruising in the channel. He still managed to return, at times, to London so a remoter posting was found and on the 24th August 1781 the sixteen year old arrived at Sandy Hook, New York.At that time, New York was still loyal to Britain but New Jersey, just across the Hudson River, was controlled by the rebels. William’s presence would, it hoped, give a boost to the morale of the beleaguered crown supporters. This worked so well that a plan was hatched by the rebels to kidnap him and hold him to ransom. This was foiled when the news of the plot leaked to the British authorities and extra guards were provided.Even this excitement was not enough for William so he requested, and was granted, a transfer to the fifty-gun ship Warwick, hoping for more action.

We had nearly all members attended for our October 11th meeting to hear our speaker Mr Howard, or Nobby as we all know him in the village. He told us a few comical jokes and some interesting stories of how he made friends with this chap called Jim. Jim had a big house, pastures, land and also one or two horses. Jim and Nobby used to ride and train to race them, they also did some jumping as well. Nobby loved it and ended up being a jockey and did quite well. He still takes his horse out, his wife has a horse also so, in his retirement, they go by riding on their

horses together. He made us laugh at some the funny tales. Nobby was then ready for a good old cup of tea.The next competition on Thursday November 10th is My Favourite Landscape Photograph. Also being arranged is a coffee morning with raffle, homemade cakes, etc with all proceeds going to The Big C charity on Thursday, 3rd November at 10am until Midday in the Blue Lion, posters will be placed around the village nearer to the time.Val Wright, on behalf of Marie Curie Cancer Care, would like to thank donators who gave in the collection from Houghton Lane and Meadow Lane amount; received was £50, thank you all.

A new way to contact your policeNorfolk Constabulary has introduced a new telephone number for people who want to talk to the police about non-urgent issues.Instead of ringing the current number of 0845 456 4567, people should dial 101. The new number should be used to report issues which don’t require an emergency response. For example, people should ring 101 if:· their vehicle has been stolen;· their property has been damaged;· they suspect drug use or dealing;· if they want to give the police information about crime in their area; or· if they would like to speak to a local police officer. 101 will be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. When calling 101, the system determines the caller’s location and connects them to the police force covering that area. Calls from landlines and mobile networks cost 15 pence per call, no matter what time of day or the duration of the call. The new 101 service is not for emergencies. In an emergency, people should always ring 999 for immediate police assistance. An emergency is where: · life is in danger· a serious offence is in progress· a suspect is at a scene· an alleged offender is identified at any location· there is an imminent likelihood of violence/damage to a person’s property· there is a serious road traffic collision
