Hello Everybody.

Well June is upon us, when the fruition of winter days crafting appear on many

village fete stalls and the season of weddings is in full swing. We have our own,

small, but special wedding this month when our daughter gets married. Jars and

bottles have been painted and decorated, bunting made and ideas for a quick

decoration of the rooms for the reception are in full swing. I have discovered that the

mention of wedding seems to add noughts and extra pennies to quotes, What I

really want to know is at what point in our history did the wedding become more

important than the marriage?

If you are getting married or are involved in a wedding this month, I wish you a happy

day full of lovely memories for the future. Gina

CYSTITIS

Symptoms of cystitis are burning pain when passing urine and a desire to

pass urine more often. Although caused by bacterial infection, cystitis can

often be cured simply by drinking plenty of extra fluid. Cranberry juice is

often recommended.

Antibiotic treatment

If cystitis persists for more than three days you may request a prescription

for an antibiotic without making an appointment: just ask at reception or

dispensary. A nurse will contact you to discuss the symptoms and arrange

treatment.

When to see the doctor

If cystitis occurs in a man, a pregnant woman or a child

If you have blood in your urine

If symptoms do not settle after treatment

Urine Specimens

A treat without testing policy is the most cost-effective way to treat

cystitis so a urine test is not needed unless there has been previous

treatment failure. If a member of staff asks you to provide a specimen she

will give you the appropriate container and a plastic pouch to seal it into.

Please ensure that your name and date of birth are written clearly on the

container.

Biohazard

Specimens of all sorts (urine, stool, sputum) could present a hazard to our

staff unless correctly packaged in proper containers sealed inside plastic

pouches. Please do not expect reception staff to accept specimens in the

wrong type of container or without a protective pouch.


OLLARISHIONERST A PTO ALL PARISHIONERS

'Please, don't misunderstand me'

'Please, don't misunderstand me.' It's a common enough phrase! Have you ever

pondered on the number of words that begin with the letters mis? Mis is a prefix of

course that can be put before many words in our everyday language mostly with a

negative meanings especially when it comes to good communication.

We mis-conceive, mis-read, mis-construe, mis-hear, mis-understand, therefore we can

easily miss the point and indeed miss out!

The language, the words, we use are so important if we want to communicate well. We

do use other ways of communicating with one another we can express our meaning in

the way we use our bodies a handshake, a shake or nod of the head, a smile etc. But

communication is very difficult without words! Ever tried it? Remember those games of

charades at Christmas with the family?

The dictionary defines the prefix mis as: fail - to catch an object, (ball, bus, train) fail to

meet a person, fail to see, hear or understand. Failure to communicate can lead to two

more 'mis's' mistrust and misery.

If 'mis' is so negative what would its opposite be? Well, I suppose 'catch' or 'get' might do

it.

We catch the ball, bus, train, or get the ball, bus, train ie we 'get it'! When

communicating that means we get through to somebody, we get our message across.

If we can all do that, at least more often than not, we might 'get along' with one another

much better and together we might even 'get there'!

All of us miscommunicate sometimes, quite unintentionally. It encourages me to know

that Christ himself was probably the most misunderstood person ever. Even his own

disciples often misunderstood him. When speaking to his disciples he regularly seems

to say to them things like 'do you still not understand?' If Jesus needed to try hard to

communicate with his disciples then how much more must we mere mortals try to

communicate with one another!

So strive to communicate well. Try not to be misunderstood or misunderstand.

A woman and her four-year old son were in church. Her son yelled out Mummy I have to

pee Shhhh his Mum hissed we don't say that. We say I have to whisper.

The next week the little boy was again in church with his Dad. He leaned over to say

Daddy, I have to whisper Just whisper in my ear his Dad replied!

With love

Revd. Jane

ASHWICKEN, LEZIATE & BAWSEY NEWS

LEZIATE PARISH COUNCIL REPORT

th

The Parish Council met on Wednesday 13 May 2015 for the Annual Town Council

meeting.

Cllr Tony Crane was duly elected Chair and Cllr Ray Barnett as Vice Chair. Cllr

Beales attended as the newly elected Borough Councillor.

This was the first meeting of the new Council elected after an uncontested election.

Cllr Crane gave a report of the last year

The annual accounts were approved and declarations of office were all signed.

Our PCSO was again unable to attend as she has been seconded to King's Lynn;

we very much miss her input and enthusiasm and look forward to her being back on

our beat!

It was reported that the pot holes in the village hall drive are getting bad and it was

agreed to get these repaired.

The play area was discussed and it was felt that the equipment is out dated and we

should be looking at refreshing at least some of the equipment. Cllr Barnett agreed

to look at this and see what equipment would be good and then see what grants are

around and perhaps have submit a programme of improvements over the next few

years.

Cllr Coke attended the meeting and announced that Leziate has been included in

the next round of funding for fibre broadband. On questioning, Cllr Coke it didn't

seem clear how many properties this related to and if it was Leziate or Ashwicken.

It was agreed that the Clerk will contact the officer at NCC in charge of this rollout

and try and get some answers before next meeting. Cllr Coke felt that we should

also be able to have input into the positioning of the cabinets as recently there were

some issues with this in Blackborough End.

With all the usual annual business concluded the meeting closed. The next meeting th

will be on 10 June 2015 at 7.30 in the Village Hall.

Leziate WI

The April meeting was held on Tuesday

21 April. We all dressed in red, white and th

blue to honour Queen Elizabeth's 89

birthday. We sang the national anthem

after singing Jerusalem, and all felt very

patriotic. 12 members were present, with

5 apologies. Member Violet Giles

brought an oasis in a container for each of

us to create a flower arrangement.

Violet also brought along lots of lovely

flowers and greenery, which we were able

to use. Everyone enjoyed this and some

lovely arrangements were completed.

Violet judged these, awarding first to

Eileen Baxter, second to Ann Rainbird,

and third to Betty Alpe. Eileen thanked

Violet for all the work involved for us,

especially the oasis in the containers. It

made everything easier. We all felt quite

proud of the end product. Joan Brown

won the raffle. Tea hostesses were Mary

Ryan and Wendy Twite.

Myrtle Roberts and Margarette Whiskin

were our delegrates for the Federation

Day in Norwich, where everyone was

welcomed by the Lord Mayor.

Many reports were given and a talk by our

national chairman. Norfolk Belles Choir

provided the entertainment.

Some of us are attending church flower

festivals at Dersingham and Walpole St

Peter. They are always lovely days out.

We do like to have visitors to our monthly rd

meetings, which are held on the 3

Tuesday of the month at 2pm in Leziate

Learn, Laugh, Love and Be the Best that

you can Be!

We were delighted this term to see the

trees, that had been taken down, turn

in a dragon and castle sculpture play

area. The smaller branches have been

put in our woodland for den building

and the wood chippings used as topping

for our pathways so nothing has been

wasted!

We were very fortunate to have enough

money in our capital fund to complete

the project. It really is a fantastic

addition to our lovely grounds.

We hope to hold an official opening of

the area later this term. In the

meantime, if you would like to take a

closer look please come and visit or

take a look at the photographs on our

website.

We were pleased to have over 30

runners taking part in the GEAR this

year. The rain poured but our children

and parents were brilliant as ever and

ran to raise money for Megans

Challenge.

classroom this term please visit our

GAYTON W.I

President Penny welcomed members and guests to the May meeting, especially Pat

Watts of Grimston W.I. who will act as our delegate at the Centenary AGM in the Albert th

Hall on 4 June. The Resolution to be voted on at that meeting calls on the Government

to remove the distinction between nursing care and personal care in the assessment of

the needs of individuals, in order to advance health and wellbeing.

Pat gave a clear account of the reasons for this Resolution after which members gave a

majority vote in favour. W.I. members have resolved and campaigned on many social

issues over the Institute's 100 years existence and its representatives are often called

upon to advise Government and other bodies on these matters.

Although the AGM will take place in the Albert Hall it will be shown live by video-link at

various venues all over the country. A group of Gayton members will be attending such

a meeting at Sheringham. The Centenary celebrations have been highlighted in the

media recently. The home-made Centenary Cakes which were going to be given to the

5000-strong members in the Hall are now being distributed by Federations to such

members on their way home. This is because the Albert Hall wanted to charge a

'sampling charge' due to some of the ingredients being donated by commercial

companies, this being acknowledged on the boxes. This clashed with the Hall's sponsorship rules. As well as tons of the usual ingredients it was said that the 44 W.I.

fruitcakes have 'enough rum in them to paralyse a fleet of pirate ships'! Members are

enjoying watching the six-part drama 'Home Fires', shown on ITV on Sunday evenings.

This is based on the book 'Jambusters' by Julie Summers and centres on the role of

Institute members in the supply of preserves in WWII.

After welcome refreshment, members were entertained by readings of self-penned

poems by Andrea Lorriman, Jan Newman and Kath Roberts. Arrangements were made st

for those attending the Walpole Flower Festival on 1 June, an annual event always th

enjoyed by our members, and a Safari Lunch on 16 June in Gayton.nd

Our next meeting will be held on Tuesday 2 June at 7.30 pm in the Jubilee Hall when we

will be given a talk and demonstration on relaxation. Why not come and relax with us

ladies, you will be made most welcome

Andrea Lorriman

Charles Fosgate

Dione and the family were overwhelmed by all your cards, letters and kind

messages after the sad loss of Charles.

We would like to thank you all so much and to those who attended his

funeral on May 14th. The donations for Tapping House are still to be

counted.

Your support has been so appreciated by us all. Thank you. Much love

St Nicholas Churchyard, Gayton.

A Message from the Vicar

Anyone passing the churchyard in the past few months will have

noticed various changes and activity there. However, it seems that

there has been much concern and misunderstanding about what is

happening. We have reported on this in the March and April

magazines this year but there still seems to be some confusion and so

I apologise if communication has not been as good as it should be.

Please be assured that the churchyard is NOT to be left unmanaged or given over to

wildlife. The PCC, along with you all, very much want Gayton churchyard looking

immaculately maintained.

We are trying to create some small areas within the overall management of the

churchyard for wild flowers and it is hoped this will help the existing wildlife in the

churchyard and indeed attract more butterflies and birds and be an enhancement not an

eyesore!

The draft scheme identifies a 2mtr strip along the north front boundary wall (by far the

largest area and which in the past has had to be strimmed as it is too uneven for the

mower) plus two very small areas where there are no visible graves on the south west

side near the kissing gate.

We are very keen that any areas left uncut in order to develop wildflower patches will be

clearly defined with a good 'edge' so that there can be no interpretation that it has simply

been left. No marked graves (however ancient) will be affected. Local villagers who are

helping with the plan will carry out the necessary maintenance to these areas including

strimming twice a year at the correct times in July and October and clearing away the

greenery.

There are number of factors affecting the churchyard at the moment which mean that

currently it is not looking its best - an understatement I know! This may have led to

people thinking we are leaving it all to nature! The problems are:

1. The builders who have been on site now for over a year have caused deep ruts and

they have spread soil (spoilage following drainage works) over some extensive areas.

These are to be made good and reseeded (by the builder hopefully) and returned to

short mown grass.

2. Our contractor who strims the 'areas the mower cannot reach' including the older part

of the churchyard and round unattended headstones is unable to continue.

3. Our two excellent volunteers who use the ride on church mower (Lester and Trevor

to whom we are very grateful) and who keep the areas which can be mowed neat and

tidy have both been out of action.

Please be assured these are temporary issues and the PCC are working hard to find

'stand in' volunteers and to find a new contractor for the strimming.

We are grateful to those who do a great deal to help to keep our churchyard looking

beautiful and cared for, some of you have done so for many years, and to all who

maintain their loved ones memorials and contribute to this valuable work.

It is much appreciated.


If anyone feels they can help in any way there is always work to do - please call me.

Please also do contact me if you have any concerns. It is your churchyard and

we want to work with you and respect everyone's wishes.

I shall be at an Open Day on Sat. 13th June, between 10 - 11 am.,at the Churchyard,

and will happy to meet with anyone to look at what's happening and explain,

Revd Jane

Conservation update .....

Back in September 2014 the Norfolk Wildlife Trust in partnership with the Diocese of

Norwich identified St Nicholas' Churchyard as being a potentially great site for wildlife as

part of its Churchyard Wildlife Scheme and ran an evening information and training

session which several local people attended. This led to initial work on identifying

suitable areas to maintain for native wildlife. These areas in Gayton churchyard will be

relatively small and the scheme aims to enhance the churchyard and will have a

management plan. This summer we will begin to record all species of plant and animal

found here, with Norfolk Wildlife Trust support. All interested are very welcome to be

involved this is a whole community project.

It has been rewarding to see the first red campion flowers in bloom in areas that have

been left uncut. Early butterfly species rely on the nectar from campion and with

increased pressure on our environment it is rewarding if our churchyard can be a haven

for wildlife like this.

The first year of the project is very much a 'wait and see' time. Areas that have been

continually enriched and fertilised by mulched grass clippings will certainly grow lush

nettles and other larger plants in this first year that can overshadow rarer species. When

these areas are cut it is important to clear all the cut greenery away, leaving the soil with

less nutrients, which will encourage the less dominant plants to take hold.

Of course we will be assessing whether the areas that have been left 'natural' are in

suitable and sensible areas. Simple canes in the ground are not a permanent fixture and

this project needs to evolve slowly We have received very positive comments on the

project from many, but some have expressed concern about areas chosen to remain

uncut, so we have obviously respected their wishes and adapted accordingly.

th

On Monday 27 July, at 10am, the wildflower areas will be getting their first cut. The

Gaywood Valley Conservation Volunteers have kindly agreed to lead this for us and of

course everyone who is interested is very welcome to join in. Tools and refreshments

provided The second cut of the year will be in October.

The compost bin is for all plant waste from the churchyard. If you have grass clippings or

faded flowers (minus wrappers) please feel free to put them in here.

Gayton Brownies are looking forward to constructing a minibeast hotel underneath the

silver birch trees in June.

Now for a different sort of recipe!

For those of us trying to avoid chemical overload this is home-made 'vaseline'

Put cup of beeswax: 1 cup of olive oil into a glass jar and place in a saucepan of

warm water, bring to a simmer and with some protection for your hand shake the jar

a couple of times until the beeswax is melted. Carefully pour into a suitable container

and use as you would Vaseline. If you are using this for lip balm, you can add a

couple of drops of your favourite essential oil.

The first of what we hope will be an irregular page of fun things

Easy Lemon Drizzle Cake

You will need a 2lb loaf tin preferably with a non-stick liner and a skewer or cocktail

stick.

Ingredients: 175g self-raising flour: 1 tsp of baking powder:

150gms of caster sugar or sugar substitute:

finely grated rind of 1 lemons: 125gms of soft butter: 2 medium eggs

1 tsp of lemon extract: 2 tbsp of milk

For the topping: Juice of 1 large lemon: 75gms of sugar.

Pre heat oven to 180c/gas mark 4

Put all the cake ingredients into a bowl and beat with an electric hand mixer for 2

minutes. Tip the mixture into the lined loaf tin and level the surface.

Bake for 50mins or until the cake springs back after being lightly pressed.

Whilst the cake is baking prepare the topping by mixing the topping ingredients

together. As soon as the cake is out of the oven, prick deeply all over and spoon

topping all over the cake. Leave to cool in the tin. Enjoy!

And finally: The late Spike Milligan once said:

There are holes in the sky where the rain gets in

They're only little holes; that's why rain is thin

EAST WINCH NEWSwww.eastwinchandwestbilney.co.uk

All Saints' Church News

Work, funded mainly by the Heritage Lottery Fund, has started on the tower, and will

continue for about six months. It will not prevent people from visiting the church,

except when the heating is renewed later in the year, but please be careful in the

churchyard, as at present there are scaffolding poles lying around. Before the masons

start work, the honey bees in the tower will have to be removed!

During British Summer Time the church is open on Saturdays, and for the first week

in August it'll be open every day. We hope to hold holiday activities for children then

and there'll be a poetry reading, (not too highfallutin') too.

All Saints services in June.

St Cecilia's Church, West Bilney. Flower festival!

On the weekend of 20th and 21st June, there will be a mini flower festival at the

church, with the theme of music, as `St Cecilia is the patron saint of music. The

church's historic books will also be on display. The oldest one dates from 1710 and

was given to the church by Elizabeth Freke. These books have amazing historical

interest - in the oldest book, the name of Queen Anne has been erased and King

George's added instead. That would have been done in 1714! At 2pm on Sunday

22nd there will be a concert by a quartet of players of primary school age, and the

weekend closes with a service at 6pm.

The church will be open from 10 to 4 each day. Refreshments will be on offer.

If you would like to do a flower arrangement, either as an individual or as a group,

please contact Nell Steele 840814 or Charlotte Paton 840145. We hope that some of

the arrangements will be by children or families.

East Winch Parish Council Annual Parish Meeting and Council

Meeting.

In the course of the two meetings, new councillors (Mrs J Bettany and Mrs P

Blowers) were welcomed, and Tony Hepher and Richard Cox, who had not stood for

re-election thanked for their work for the Council. The chairman (Nell Steele) and

vice chairman (Keith Harrod) were re-elected. The chairman's report was received,

as were reports on the United Charities, the Village Hall and the church.

The path which runs from Holland House to the right of way leading to Grandcourt

Farm was open and welcomed by walkers. Mr. R Wilson has sent the Parish

Council a draft contract, but the council feel it's wise to take legal advice before

agreeing to it. It was reported that the right of way itself was not being maintained

adequately. The footpath from the A47 to East Walton was in an even worse state,

and nothing had been done by NCC to improve matters. It was decided to ask Mr

Wallace of Highways to attend the next meeting and explain the lack of action.

The chairman reported that she'd heard from only one person who offered to be a

speedwatch volunteer, and it was agreed that the project would be abandoned for

the time being, especially as teams in other villages had apparently often disbanded

after disagreements.

A parishioner had suggested that the Council adopt the red telephone box. Nell

Steele had made preliminary enquiries, which the clerk is to pursue, as all

councillors liked the idea.

The playground grass is not being mowed regularly any more. Enquiries are to be

made about paying for a contractor ourselves. Paula Blowers listed the number of

play items that had not been replaced over the years. She believed it would be used

if equipment was replaced, a view that hadn't been prevalent at previous meetings.

Paula had also been asked by people whose gardens backed on to Short Drove, to

complain that unless the gate was unlocked and tankers could get in, they could not

fill their oil tanks. Mr A Wilson said that Wilson Farms did not want to be

unreasonable, and suggested that Robert Wilson was contacted in two weeks, as

he was presently away.

Allotments.

East Winch United Charities have a few allotments available in East Winch, if

anyone is interested in renting an allotment please contact Keith Harrod. Tel: 01553

QEH MATTERS

The hospital held a very successful and well attended Stroke Awareness event in

May. Another event is planned for the Autumn on Diabetes.

This is the time of year when the Trust looks back at the year in preparation for the

Annual report and the members' Annual meeting in July. They have continued to

move forward in the areas of non-compliance identified by the CQC. Amongst other

things, there has been significant improvement in the prevention of C Diff infections

and a continued reduction in hospital acquired pressure ulcers. They have done a

complete re-design of the emergency department and opened a ward specifically for

the frail elderly. They are working to create a dementia friendly inpatient area in the

old West Newton ward. Paths, car park and entrance roads have been improved.

The railings along the path by the front entrance were necessary for the safety of

visitors and drivers. The speed humps were installed as a trial after various near

misses on site. Ambulances may need to drive around them on the way to A&E so

please be aware.

nd

The Council meeting on Tuesday 2 June has been cancelled due to the rd

forthcoming CQC visit so the next meeting will be the Annual Meeting on 23 July at

Lynn Sport. Members of the public are warmly welcomed. Please phone 01553

613142 if you wish to attend.

When was the last time you saw a hedgehog?

Hedgehogs now appear to be declining in the UK at the same rate as tigers are

globally at around 5% a year, both in rural and urban habitats.

We appear to have lost around 30% of the population since 2002 and it seems likely

that there are now fewer than a million hedgehogs left in the UK.

The hedgerows which give the species their name are no longer being grubbed up

but are not as "rich" or "vibrant" in the worms and other food eaten by hedgehogs

due to poor management.

At home, there is so much that gardeners can do to help the hedgehog, very simple

things like:

Checking areas before strimming or mowing.; moving piles of rubbish to a new site

before burning it; stopping or reducing the amount of pesticides and poisons used;

making sure there is an easy route out of ponds and pools. Ensuring there is access

into the garden (all that is needed is 5 square gap).

Making these connections between our own fenced-in islands of green spaces

creates a continuous habitat through which hedgehogs can forage, seek shelter and

even rendezvous with potential mates.

But we also value churchyards and burial grounds; for their importance to people

and our history and to wildlife.

The Charity Caring for Gods Acre with HRH Prince Charles as President has a

stated aim of championing conservation in churchyards and burial sites across the

British Isles.

Locally our Churches are looking at ways of creating wildlife corridors along with help

from The Norfolk Wildlife Trust - creating managed wildlife areas.

Conserving plants, aiding butterflies, and helping animals such as the hedgehog.

St Tiggywinkles Hospital was set up in 1978 to care for hedgehogs and in East

Winch the RSPCA are having an open day this month where you can see their work

for baby hedgehogs - many of whom are orphaned. You can even sponsor one.

You can also learn more and support hedgehogs by looking at the website of The

British Hedgehog Preservation Society.

Philip Larkin in his very sad poem The Mower tells us of his own hedgehog. The

final lines are : we should be careful of each other, we should be kind, while there is

still time.

It applies to the hedgehog now more than ever before. Help save a hedgehog.
