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


OLLARISHIONERST A PTO ALL PARISHIONERSOLLARISHIONERST A PTO ALL PARISHIONERS

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.

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.

The next Parish Council meeting is th

Monday 13 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.

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!

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 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 th

10 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 th

30 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.

th

Leziate Parish Council next meets on 8

July 2015, 7.30pm in the village hall. All

parishioners are welcome.

NB: Advance warning there will be no

Parish Council meeting in August.

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

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

letter to all HW organisations in Norfolk. It

provides the web site information plus his

contact details if anyone would like to

Alan Smith Area coordinator

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

Gayton WI

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 nd rd

Shelia Simpson, 2 Penny Andrews and 3 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 th

the Mucky Duck at North Wooten. The July 7 Meeting is at The Gayton Jubilee Hall,

Mrs Ellen Howe will be demonstrating the art of making corn dollies.th

The August 4 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.

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

Ginas Page

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. Gina

EAST WINCH NEWSwww.eastwinchandwestbilney.co.uk

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.

All Saints' services for July.

5th July: 10.30. Benefice Holy Communion at North Runcton, and picnic after.

12th July: 10.30. Morning Worship at East Winch.

19th July: 11.15. Holy Communion.

26th July: 10.30. Morning Worship.

Services for August have not yet been arranged, but will be on the website and in the

Middleton magazine.

Bible Study

In July we'll be studying St Mark's Gospel. Meetings are at 7 for 7.30.

1st July: Rosemary and Dickie Bowers: Orchard House, Lynn Rd,Grimston.

8th July: Nell Steele: 3, Southview Cottages, Common Rd, West Bilney.

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. Steve

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.
