The Sheringham TrawlerNew Fried Fish & Chip Emporium

Invited to sample the wares of a new fish and chip shop with MY reputation...Bring it on!

Knowing that I was involvedin the trade many years ago, Philip Crab Tales, Esq, thought it a good idea toinvolve me in reviewing (& tasting) the products onoffer at The Sheringham Trawler when it openedat tea time on Saturday 24th May and what a treat & honour it was.

We arrived to find the restaurant area packed with well-wishers along with Norman Lamb MP who ‘cut the ribbon’, as it were, and launched the good ship and ‘blessed all who were to eat in her’. Noisy but light-hearted chit-chat, along with the unmistakable smell of chipsfried in beef dripping, filled the atmosphere. Yes, beef dripping is to be the frying medium - make no mistake - there’s no taste to beat it.

Lisa and Andy May, who have Albert’s FishBar in Holt and previously ran Kelly’s Take Away at Kelling Heath Holiday Park, soobviously had a vision - along with a goodeye for a successful business opportunity - and this new restaurant and take awaywas born. Not only is it tastefully and imaginatively set-out and decorated but the shop facade is constructed as the bow and bridge of - you’vegot it - a trawler.

Armed with a picnic, Lis & I decidedto look around some of this year’s Open Studios further afield.We planned to visit just a few studiosaround Booton as our day included having our picnic in the grounds of Booton Church, just outside theReepham area. Why Booton? Well Lis’ late father Willis Feast was the last Rector ofthe church and the Rectory is where she was born, many moons ago.The standard of the artwork that we saw during our short visit to the exhibitions was very good.I take my hat off to our local artists who take part in the Open Studios and it is well worth having a look at the route map, available fromthe tourist information offices orvisit: nnopenstudios.org.uk.I would encourage you to have a look at Booton as well, as it is an amazing church to nose around.I am not one of those people who visit every church, but the original church was taken down in the late 1800s and replaced with what the Rector at the time, Whitwell Elwin, felt he would like to have. Known now as The Cathedral inThe Fields, it is unique and quitesimply an enormous church for a very small parish designed around what he liked in various books tobuild a church to his own taste. This included a wonderful row of angels either side of the roof.

The Rectory next door was also builtby Elwin large enough to accomodatehis visitors from London. Until the 1970s when it was sold to the current owners, there was no running water, apart from a pump which after an hour of pumping filled the tank in the attic with enough water to last a day.It is indeed a little part of Norfolk worth taking the time to discover yourself and if you can go before the 8th June you could visit the Open Studios at the same time.

Dear Philip,Further to my phone conversation in reference to the letter on page 3 of Crab Tales issue 036 illustrating the history of the Pavilion Theatre.I am afraid you have been had, it should have been dated April 1st.Sir Henry Irving (he was knighted in 1895 a veryrare occasion in Victorian times for Actors) not as now. He had his own theatre in London, The Lyceum, usually he appeared with Dame Ellen Terry, but in 1905 he was by himself on the stage of the Theatre Royal in Bradford, doing A Life Of Beckett.Beckett was the Archbishop of Canterbury duringthe reign of Henry II. It was Henry II who hadmade the statement : “Who will rid me of thisturbulent priest!” Six members of the household(knights) took him at his word, went to Canterburyand murdered Thomas A Beckett in 1170.Back to the Stage of the Theatre Royal, Sir Henryafter saying the words: “Into thine hands o Lord”collapsed. He was taken to his hotel in the Midlands and died without another word. With his fame he would never have played a Pantomine Dame (Widow Twankey).George Formby did have a house in Wroxham and no doubt would have visited Cromer, but hiswife Beryl would not have allowed a performance. In 1975 he could not have come out of retirementto fight Muhamed Ali, because he’d died in 1961.

The George that fought Muhamed, was Forman. The rumbles in the jungle in Zaie.I do not know of the modern production of Sir Ralph Richardson’s Happy Days, but in view of the former, I have my doubts.Keep up the good work as I always look forward to the Crab Tales.Yours sincerelyWilliam NewbouldAntingham

Dear Philip,Could I take the liberty of addressing Hazel Patrickson via your paper, please?Assuming I can, here goes...Dear Hazel Patrickson,Here’s an idea - if you invest lots of time, effortand ideas, you could possibly set up your own periodical and then publish and circulate it locally or far-and-wide.In turn, as long as the content follows the boundsand codes of decency, you could write and insert whatever you wished without being beholden or answerable to anyone else and preview and review shows, to your heart’s content, be they tribute or local amateur productions.


Letter Continued From Page 3

Dear Philip,Re the letter from Hazel Patrickson in the 037 Issue of Crab Tales and her disappointment with the ABBA Tribute concert at the Pier Pavilion in Cromer;I was sorry to read - I quote - “they sounded like amateurs playing in a local village hall”She might like to know that in Mundesley we have a very professional group of amateurs known as the Mundesley Players who regularlyput on shows in our local village hall.In fact she might be interested in the following - commencing Monday July 28th - “A Taste OfThe Musicals”, in October she could watch “AnInspector Calls” and in December she could cometo see “A Christmas Carol”, and as if that isn’t enough there’s always The Mundesley Festival (August 4th - 8th ); all details on page 18 of the 037 Issue of your lovely magazine.Best regardsJanet MunroMundesley-On-Sea.

To receive a couple of complimentary tickets on the back of this, I consider could be considered a right, not a privilege.One downside I ought to point out, however, is that 43 quids worth of freebies is a poor substitute for the couple of hundred pounds worth of advertising revenue that would be sacrificed by ‘donating’ a ‘free’ press release and review - by my reckoning, anyway.

Never forget, ‘One man’s meat is another man’s‘awful’’. The freedom of self-expression.Good luck and best wishes.M. PetersTrimingham-on-Sea

Back to you Philip...I remember someone giving you their book ‘Ladies that Ride’ some years ago to review. By crikey, although you were given the book you slated it. You didn’t give that author an easy ride...Yours faithfullyM. Peters

Dear Philip,We have just returned from a lovely holiday in North Norfolk and I feel compelled to write to Crab Tales to say we love Cromer and were delighted by the warmth of the welcome from everyone we met.We were fortunate to stumble across the recentlyopened Community Cafe tucked away behind the Cromer Parish Church on Tucker Street.

The friendliness of all the volunteers in the cafe was fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble andour waiter, cheeky Kim even took this photo of my wife, mother-in-law, sister-in-law and me enjoying a great cup of tea. No mother in law jokes please!It was so lovely to hear how the whole communityrallied around with generous donations of time, materials and money to help the cafe open in March this year and provide a wonderful environment for people with learning disabilities to help to develop life skills in a customer service environment.

If you have not yet popped in for a cup or tea or coffee I can highly recommend it. You will not be disappointed.John MorrisBrampton, Cambridgeshire

Dear Editor,I would like to thank all our volunteers for theirhard work on the River Mun Nature Reservewhich is really beginning to take shape.

During our last session we planted a whopping 500 native shrubs which will provide excellent nesting habitat and food for a variety of birds. The backwaters we’ve created along the river arefull of sticklebacks and otter prints can be seenalong the banks. Even better, great crested newtshave been spotted in what was only a few monthsago called “the black lagoon” and a kingfisher has been seen around the reedbed pond.

Our next mission is to make a wildlife watchinghide which we will position over the new pond and reedbed. This will be a great spot to watch and photograph the birds, dragonflies and mammals inhabiting the area. For those who are interested in helping us monitorthe wildlife in the reserve, I am in the process of setting up an evening which will aim to showyou how to record your group of species on our regional wildlife database. If you have any questions then please don’t hesitate to contact me.Best wishes,Jonathan LewisNorfolk Rivers [email protected]

The vessels would pay-out a twelve mile longline in a long, sweeping circle and, in turn, spur lines and hooks would be attached at30cm intervals to actually catch the fish. For 3 years running awards have been presented, to those involved, for this sustainable and environmentally friendly method of harvesting the sea.

Meanwhile, back in the UK - but more particularlySheringham - an array of freshly fried fish and chips was beautifully and tastefully (in all sensesof the word) presented for everyone’s delectation...mmmm, that was the highlight of the event asfar as I and scores of others was concerned; gosh was that tasty - still the best ever take away in my opinion. Yummy!

Do give The Sheringham Trawler a try - and soon! Trust me, you won’t be be let down. I’ve been back already. Spending an afternoon on the North Norfolk steam Railway with friendsand their young family on Wednesday, we choseto eat there so that the others could decide for themselves as to the quality and quantity of the ware; no one was disappointed.

This traditional Fish & Chip Restaurant is Open every day throughout the summer from 12 noononwards for eat-ins or for take-aways and servesall the usual fare plus option for those restricted to gluten free and wheat free diets.Over 60’s eat in special - Cod, chips and peas with tea or coffee £6.50.

Congratulations to Mrs. D. Batty, from Sheringham, who found the cod on Page 5 in the Automatic

Driving Lessons advert & to Susan Foster, aged 9, from North Walsham, who spotted

the Crab on Page 7, in the NHS Wellbeing Service advert.

It’s fascinating to see how many passing pedestrians are transfixed, do a double-take, and have to have a peep through this bridge and into the restaurant.

Andy and Lisa soon found out that I was a one-time fish fryer and business owner andI was readily invited to the sharp end of the Mallinson (Oldham) gas-fired 5 pan range. I admit to having obtuse tastes but what an object of stainless steel, neon & glass ‘beauty’ - a man gets to admiring such things when he reaches a certain age... Sad. Incidentally, I forget to tell them that I still have the old Frank Ford 2 pan range in my shed which was removed from Kelling Heath many, many years ago.

Behind the scenes - or frying range, more like - we were introduced to the gentleman who sourcedtheir fish supplies. I guess he could be termed an‘agent’, in modern terms, more than a fish merchant,but he went on to explain how the cod & haddockwere line and not net caught. This procedure waskinder to the environment in that the sea bed wasnot trawled and damaged but also more ‘humane’to the catch.

Sailing On The Broads.

Have you ever considered sailing on the Broads?Since moving to Norfolk in 2000, I decided that I too would try sailing on the Boards.Having sailed at Rutland Water for at least five years and as a younger man in New Zealand many years ago, I decided to move my then 16ft trailer sailer to the Broads.Finding a reasonable mooring is not always that easy and I had my boat moored in a car park at Hickling to start with for a couple of years, launching it every time.After making a number of calls to Catfield Dyketo ask about getting a mooring, Larry, who runs the mooring there decided that he had the space available for me.

That must now be well over 8 years ago. Now I can get in my car here at home and be sailing on Hickling within 40 minutes, plus the time it takes to motor down the dyke onto Hickling another, say, 20 minutes in total before I am sailing.After about 4 years sailing my 16 foot ShipmateSenior, I noticed a boat of about 18 ft in length that was not being sailed very much every year, so after pushing my nose in the windows and casing the boat, I left a note asking if the owner fancied selling it to me.Time flies when you do this sort of thing so whenI got a phone call some months later asking me if I was still interested, I ended up buying his lovely boat for a very good price indeed. That was now over 5 years ago and his boat camewith a mooring already. An all singing and all dancing Prelude boat ready to sail.Now the proud owner of two boats, I placed an advert in, what I think, is a very good local paperand sold my Shipmate Senior within two weeks to a gentleman buying a boat for his sons. Sadly since then they have not really used it muchat all, in fact I have not seen anyone sailing theboat for several months, despite it still being moored there.I always enjoy taking the boat out whenever I geta day or two free during the week or weekend.Owning a boat, as anyone will tell you, is like standing in a cold shower ripping up ten and or fifty pound notes as it is not a cheap sport/ pastime but despite this it is always a great way to discover our beautiful countryside. Every six months I get a mooring bill of £295 and every year a bill from the Broads Authority of around £80, so I can sail on the broads and moor up overnight in numerous places between Hickling and in Norwich, if I ever wished to.So on a free day and the weather is in my favourI drive down to Catfield Dyke in the morning and top up the outboard with petrol. Before motoring out onto Hickling Broad, I then pull up the main sail and head off towards wherever I decide to sail to.

Horsey Mere is around 4 miles away towards to the coast or Potter Heigham, again about 4 miles south. This is basiclly as far as I have sailed so far, as yet, as any further means that I have to put the mast down to go under the bridges.Sailing along the broads is a lovely experience ever if one has to tack often against a head wind.So why do I not sail further than the first bridge I come to? The answer is simply that I have to date been a little fearful of pulling the mast up and down on my own, or I have just not had the time to sail much further in one day.At 18 feet in length with a cabin, life on boardcomes with berths for 4 adults and a reasonable amount of space to live in, if you so wish. I have to add that I have yet to spend any time living aboard, other than having an afternoon snooze one day, I have yet to properly use the boat as it is meant to be used, by sailing miles into the setting sun.I should add that having a proper lifting keel means that I can happily sail in some pretty shallow water and when I want to, or when I run out of water which is often the case.I tend to always enjoy the time that I spend on the Broads, whether on my own or with friends, even when I have been rescued by fellow sailors out there or when I have ended up towing someone and their boat to the shore.With a 4 hp outboard I use about 2 gallons of petrol every year so I try to avoid using the outboard when I can, if at all, and if the wind is in the right direction to easily sail out of the mooring location & back, if I am very lucky.All in all, sailing on the Norfolk Broads is a lovely and enjoyable experience, that I never tire of as long as there is some wind to power me and the boat along.If you and or your partner/ spouse fancy a days sailing during the week or weekend, do give me a call.Or if there is anyone who knows how I can get a second hand main sail to fit a Prelude 18 foot boat do let me know.

PAK

Not A Good IdeaOn the morning of Sunday May 18th, a very silly man decided to put his boat into the sea,using the Vale Road beach access point just west of Mundesley.On recovering his boat, he got his silver 4 x 4stuck on the beach, so he decided to borrow a local fisherman’s tractor to recover himself and his boat from the sea only to then get this stuck in the sea as well.With the incoming tide and his poor health, it was not a good day, to say the very least and by the time the tide was in his life and everything else was against him.This beach point has a poor track record with a lady, around 10 years ago, being killed when she fell off a boat trailer and went under it’s wheels, while it was being towed out of the sea.Despite being a popular place to launch your jetski, it is being abused by people parking on the beach when there is a large car park available on the access road.As well as this, there are often people camping there and as to be expected a lot of rubbish being left there. See Below.

Both the Local Council, the NNDC, and the Police have been often notified about this regular problem, but little if anything has been done to date.What is the answer?Surely it is all about people having a good time while enjoying our beaches, without leaving rubbish everywhere and being a pain in the neck wherever they go.

Murphy................a furniture dealer from Dublin, decided to expand the line of furniture in his store, so he decided to go to Paris to see what he could find.After arriving in Paris, he visited with some manufacturers and selected a line that he thought would sell well back home. To celebrate the new acquisition, he decided to visit a small bistro and have a glass of wine and as he sat enjoying it, he noticed that the place was quite crowded, and that the other chair at his table was the only vacant seat in the house.Before long a very beautiful young Parisian girl came to his table, spoke to him in French (which Murphy could not understand) so he motioned to the vacant chair and invited her to sit down.He tried to speak to her in English, but she didnot speak his language so after a few minutes oftrying to communicate with her, he took a napkin

and drew a picture of a wine glass and showed it to her. She nodded, so he ordered a glass of wine for her.After sitting together at the table for a while, hetook another napkin and drew a picture of a platewith food on it and she nodded. They left the bistro and found a quiet cafe that featured a small group playing romantic music.They ordered dinner, after which he took another napkin and drew a picture of a couple dancing.She nodded so they got up to dance and they danced until the band was packing up.Back at their table the young lady took a napkinand drew a picture of a four-poster bed.

To this day, Murphy has no idea how she figured out he was in the furniture business

Thanks to David Thorne for this.

From Pete’s Pen


It was an enjoyable evening and amongst the Art works on display there were a number of interesting, good paintings,and likewise the photographs.

I say photos as both Paul and Chistine Damen had submitted several and inPaul’s case two were sold within a few hours of the exhibition opening.(See Below Paul’s photographs.) When Tony had finished his speech he asked Gita Dickinson to officially open the Show and judge the winners. (Above Left)The First prize was awarded to Janice Caddick’s painting (Below)The winner of the children’s artwork went rightfully to the Cromer Junior School (See on right)

Despite there not being a great number of people at the official opening, it was a good show of local talent doing their bit, whether with camera or paint brush.

Or I should add the talents used by those who had a wonderful display of their work on their model houses. (On right)

The Annual VEO Art & Craft Exhibition

Every year, over the numerous years that Tony Shipp MBE has been Chairman of the VEO he kicks off the VEO Arts & Craft Exhibition in the Parish Hall in Cromer.This year on Thursday May 22nd, it was also Tony’s 70th birthday and a cake and glass of bubble was offered to the guests.I have to say Tony looks pretty good for 70 as most of the other 70 plus guests agreed.

The Festival also hosted its first ever crab and lobster Paella evening in the Festival marquee in Cromer together with live music and a bar.The paella, cooked by Head Chef at The Grove, Charlie Hodson, with assistance from About withFriends & Norwich City College students, soldover 200 portions in 20 minutes. The Festival, which has been hailed as the most successful so far, is enthusiastically looking forward to 2015 with the dates provisionally announced as 15th – 17th May 2015.

This handicraft is often simply produced by a good many local folk and is so amazingly detailed.I have seen their work before and this year’s group of a miniature house is once again a fine example of the work they all produce year in a year out. PK

Visitors Flock To... ...the fifth Crab & Lobster Festival Over the 17th & 18th May a record number of people flocked to the fifth annual Cromer and Sheringham Crab & Lobster Festival.Local businesses reported an upsurge in tradeand many local businesses have reported one of their busiest weekends of the year. With a host of events, this year’s Festival offeredactivities & entertainment across the weekend. The weekend included a mix of superb seafood, scintillating entertainment, film, competitions, traditional seafaring craft demonstrations and local food and craft stalls. The Cookery Theatre played host to an array of demonstrations by chefs & master seafood specialists. Audiences were shown how to make the most of our local seafood.The Crab Dressing Competitions were hosted by Julie Davies and there were demonstrations from local fishermen on the art of net braiding and pot making. Children were entertained by Punch & Judy shows, craft events & activities across local museums. The aquarium of live crabs and lobsters was hosted by the Eastern Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authority.

Events continue until mid-August with the Seafood Trail and the Festival’s Bootiful Boat Art Trail where over 70 decorative boats are located across Sheringham and Cromer in shop windows and outdoor spaces. A leaflet containing both trails can be picked up at Cromer or Sheringham Tourist Information centres. The Seafood Trail has attracted avid seafood followers since it launched at Easter.

On Sunday 24th August The Festival’s World Pier Crabbing Championships will take place when the Festival hosts its annual charity auction on Cromer Prom. Tony Shipp said: “I look forward to meeting many of you again on August 24th for the World Pier Crabbing Championships and the Bootiful Boat Auction.”

Sat Nav Said..............it was the shortest route.

Did anyone get stuck behind this lorry stuck on Church Street in Cromer on Wednesday 21st of May at about 8.30am? Some suggested the queue of traffic went all the way back to Sheringham.I blame the town planner who designed Cromer back in the 14th century. Clearly they didn’t realise that we would want to take our house with us when we decide to move home!The lorry eventually had to reverse very carefully back along Church Street and reprogramme its Sat Nav.Photo taken by John Morris from Brampton, Cambridgeshire, who was out on a bike ride, whilst staying at Woodland Holiday Park on holiday.

Letter From An Irish Mother Dear Son,Just a few lines to let you know I’m still alive. I’m writing this letter slowly because I know you can’t read fast. We are all doing very well.You won’t recognise the house when you get home - we have moved.Your dad read in the newspaper that most accidents happen within 20 miles from your home, so we moved. I won’t be able to send you the address because the last Irish family that lived here took the housenumbers when they moved so that they wouldn’t have to change their address.This place is really nice. It even has a washing machine. I’m not sure it works so well though: last week I put a load in and pulled the chainand haven’t seen them since.Your father’s got a really good job now. He’s got 500 men under him. He’s cutting the grass at the cemetery.Your sister Mary had a baby this morning but I haven’t found out if it’s a boy or a girl, so I don’t know whether you are an auntie or an uncle.Your brother Tom is still in the army. He’s only been there a short while and they’ve already made him a court martial!Your Uncle Patrick drowned last week in a vat of whiskey in the Dublin Brewery. Some of his workmates tried to save him but he fought them off bravely. They cremated him and it took three days to put out the fire.

I’m sorry to say that your cousin Seamus was arrested while riding his bicycle last week. They are charging him with dope peddling.I went to the doctor on Thursday and your father went with me. The doctor put a small tube in my mouth and told me not to talk for ten minutes.Your father offered to buy it from him.The weather isn’t bad here. It only rained twice this week, first for three days and then for four days Monday was so windy one of the chickens laid the same egg four times.We had a letter from the undertaker. He said ifthe last payment on your grandmother’s plot wasn’t paid in seven days, up she comes.About that coat you wanted me to send you, your Uncle Stanley said it would be too heavy to send in the mail with the buttons on, so we cut them off and put them in the pockets.John locked his keys in the car yesterday..... We were really worried because it took him two hours to get me and your father out.Three of your friends went off a bridge in a pick-up truck. Ralph was driving. He rolled down the window and swam to safety. Your other two friends were in the back. They drowned because they couldn’t get the tailgate down.There isn’t much more news at this time. Nothing much has happened.Your loving Mum.P.S. I was going to send you some money but I had already sealed the envelope.

Thanks to David Thorne for this

Roughton Mill.. ..celebrates its bicentenary on Sun 22nd June. The current trustees and Scout leaders would like to invite anyone with a connection to, or interest in the Mill, our previous and current supporters, old and new members of the scouting movement to come and celebrate the event with us.

This well-known land-mark is known as thehome of 1st Rural Roughton Mill Scout Group. Its history goes back to 1675 but the tower asseen today was probablybuilt in 1814. On 17th September 1906a fire destroyed the milland the attached granarybuilding leaving just the tower shell.The tower remained unoccupied and un-

used until 1977 at which time it was owned by Brigadier and Mrs Hayward who leasedthe building to the Scout Association. With the help of dedicated members of the localcommunity, grants and donations the mill wasrestored and a new building was erected which adjoined the mill, the foundation stone was laid by the Chief Scout, Sir William Gladstone on Sunday 9th July, 1978.

In 2008 Roughton Mill Scout Group launched anappeal to allow them to buy outright the Millwhich raised in excess of £227,000. Since 2008 Roughton Mill has undergone furtherrenovations due to kind donations from supporters,local businesses & grants. The Mill is a uniquelandmark in North Norfolk now held in trust by the Scout Association for future generations. The purchase has guaranteed the future of the Mill and its place as a centre for young people to experience all that scouting can offerincluding activities such as camping, abseiling and many other adventures.The renovated tower has five floors, some of which are available for community use, and a purpose built abseiling point on the roof

of the building, which is the highest permanent abseiling location in Norfolk. The Granary provides a large meeting, or conference, hall with a well equipped kitchen, toilets and showers.The building is currently used for Scouting activities on Monday, Tuesday, & Wednesday evenings during school term times, but is available for hire during the daytime, at weekends, and during school holidays. It is available for use by community groups and businesses, or private individuals, for meetings, conferences, or residential events (community groups only).Colin (Gunner) Broughton-Begley (1st Rural Scout Leader.)

Ellen Wade is friendly chiropodist and podiatrist who relocated to North Norfolk in 2006 after selling her successful multi-disciplinary chiro-pody practice in Letchworth to a colleague and deciding to relocate to the coast for a better quality of life with her husband & daughter. She had been practicing podiatry since grad-uating from Westminster University in 1997 and initially took a year from work to acclimatize to the slower pace of life here. Ellen and her daughter Elizabeth 10, and her husband Paul (age undisclosed!) relocated to the The Canada’s, lying just off Sandy lane between West Runton & Aylmerton surrounded by woodland.When you arrive at The Canadas you may be greeted by the pet chickens or either of the family’s cats who wander around, and aresometimes joined by the odd pheasant and occasional peacock.Initially Ellen worked from a conservatory but now practices from a purpose built unit in the garden which includes a spacious waiting room and a large and airy clinical room.

Her daughter chose the name for the practice ‘Clinic in the Woods’ and also designed the quirky logo. Ellen caters for all ages groups from very youngto very elderly and says that often people neglect to look after their feet while remembering to visitthe dentist and optician but failing to look after this equally important part of the body.Foot conditions treated include verrucae, ingrowntoe-nails, corns and hard skin. Footwear and footcare advice and a foot measuring service are also provided. Ellen finds that 90% of her patients are in the incorrect size shoe and haven’t had their feet measured since they were teenagers, and this can have a damaging affect upon the feet.She also specializes in biomechanics & orthotictherapy. This is where specialized insoles can be

used to treat a wide range of conditions from heel pain, knee pain, Achilles pain, lower back pain, shin pain and of course problems within the foot such as ball of foot pain, bunions, osteo-arthiritis and excessively pronated or flat feet.Those who benefit from orthotic therapy includechildren with conditions such as in-toe gait andshin splints, to altheletes with recurrent sporting injuries and the more elderly client group with aching, painful feet.Ellen says: “Up to 75% of the adult population can suffer from pain & osteo-arthritis in the midfoot & orthotics, either custom made or off theshelf can do much to alleviate the pain alongwith suitable footwear & stretching exercises.”Ellen also specializes in the Richie Brace www.richiebrace.com, which is a dynamic, hingedankle foot orthoses designed to assist & facilitate movement in those with more complex foot conditions from drop foot following stroke or head injury, injury to the foot post-trauma; and more advanced arthritic foot conditions. Her area of special interest is the ‘hypermobile foot’ and Adult Acquired foot syndrome which is where (usually) only one foot becomes excess-ively pronated (flat) resulting in debilitating painaccross the top of the foot especially whilst tryingto stand on tip toes for example climbing stairs or reaching up into a cupboard. If left untreated the joints above the affected footdevelop secondary osteo-arthritic problems most especially the knee and hip. She says it is actuallyquite common, especially in females and is often undiagnosed.“Using the Richie Brace for patients has quite literally tranfomed the way I practice, it has opened up a whole new conservative way of treating patients without the need for surgical intervention and given back affected patients the ability to walk and even run pain free thereby improving their quality of life.’’says Ellen“One lady was in tears as she said her brace hadenabled her to run around again and play with

One Delightful Lady

her grandchildren, and it has been wonderful to see people with such chronic foot problems find pain relief in this way”. Ellen says she has met some patients in her localswimming pool when she has seen them strugg-ling along the side of the pool and she can see the way they walk – she hopes that people don’t mindher giving them advice and says most people are quite open & friendly and glad someone is taking time to explain about their feet.Ellen also believes that treating children is very important as it stops problems arising or becoming chronic.She says that it is common for most people not to know about orthotics and insoles but she sees them as much like glasses and should be seen as such.Her daughter Lizzy has been wearing them froma young age to prevent problems in the lower limb. After all, its just like wearing glasses forthe feet – take them off and the foot goes backto its original position causing problems where the compensations occur within the lower limb – put them back on the foot, and consequently the lower limb is held in a much improved postion.Ellen also prescribes stretching excercises asnecessary (she believes most of us have verytight muscles) and she cross refers to other health professionals including orthopaedic surgeons, G.P’s, physiotherapists, osteopaths, chiropractors or yoga teachers.

GiftsWritten by Miranda Marshall – Partner at Hayes + Storr

Solicitors are often asked for advice about making gifts. The reasons for such gifts can include trying to save Inheritance Tax or protecting assets frombeing assessed when seeking financial assistance from the Local Authority for care costs.

There are a number of important principles which apply even before one reaches the question as to whether the gift will work for the purpose of saving tax or care fees. These can very easily be overlooked by non-solicitor advice services keen to sell invest-ment products designed to achieve such aims. It must be established that the person making the gift (known as “the donor”) is making the gift of their own free will and that they have not been unduly influenced. This is especially important where instructions are given by someone other than the donor. There might well be a conflict of interest and this must be assessed at the outset. The possibility of money-laundering or fraud should not be overlooked. Careful notes must be made and kept in case the gift needs to be re-investigated in the future, for any number of reasons. The solicitor’s role is much more than just draw-ing up the document to give effect to the gift. The solicitor has a professional duty to make sure that the client fully understands the nature, effect, benefits, risks and foreseeable consequences of making the gift, in order for them to form a view as to the wisdom of the proposed transaction.

Assessing this understanding allows the solicitorto determine whether the donor has mental capacity to make the gift and whether they are subject to undue influence. The advice given to the donor will depend to a great extent on the motivation behind the gift. The Mental Capacity Act 2005 and its Code of Practice states that the donor should be able to understand the relevant information, use it to make a decision and communicate that decision to their solicitor. The main case on gifts remains Re Beaney (1978)which sets out the test of capacity to make a gift and states that capacity will vary depending on the size, nature and consequences of the gift. Advice can only ever be the best advice at the time it is given and the unexpected can and often does occur. It is always advisable to be cautious when giving assets away as once given you cannot be at all sure of getting them back.

The Royal British Legion Women’s SectionThe ladies of the RBL Women’s Section all over UK have been given a fundraising task for 2014 - The 2p Mile - and this means we need to raise enough money to cover one mile in 2p piecesTo this end, here in Norfolk, we have begun collecting already, and are trying to place posters and collecting boxes in as many outlets as we possibly can. No one likes to have pockets full of loose change,or purses weighed down with coins, so we are suggesting that everyone could collect their change into a jar or box, and then when these are all collected together, we have a plan tolay the 2p coins on Coltishall Runway on Wednesday 16th July starting at 1.30pm.Norfolk County Council, the owners of Coltishallairfield, have been very supportive and helpful in facilitating our project, and local schools and other associations will join us on the day to helplay out our coins – and we shall have an aerial photograph taken as a record of our attempt.One Mile Of 2p coins = 63,360 Coins!Therefore, we need a lot of coins collected, anda lot of helpers, and we would appreciate the help of everyone in the County. Delivery of coins can be made to the Main Gateat Coltishall on 16th July only or Contact County Secretary – Lesley Willcocks 01263 734 115 (30th June onwards) The Women’s Section of the RBL is a charity committed to providing welfare & support to women, children and men within the Armed Forces community who are in financial hardship or in need of extra support.Please Help Make A Big Difference Just By Collecting Pocket Change

Saturday 5th & Sunday 6th July10am - 5pm All Saints ChurchChurch Lane, Marsham, NR10 5RBThe wedding dresses on display willbe from 100 years old, to one that will be worn this summer. Local wedding suppliers will displaytheir products and refreshments will be on sale both days, but on Sunday they will not be served until after 11.30am.On Sunday 6th there will also be a 30 min service in the church between 10.30 - 11am. Visitors are welcome to join the service, or not, according to their preference.

All Saints Church is a beautiful Norman church which has many interesting features that visitors, may also like to see, such as the “hammerhead” timber roof with carvings of angels, 15th century rood screen, a finely carved SevenSacrements font and recently returned medieval glass.

The only glass which escaped the reformation and later restorations are two very small fragments in the tracery of the third window of the North aisle – an elephant and a unicorn. This is believed to be the only elephant in medieval glass in Norfolk, but it is quite small!
