National news is often depressing and what we as humans allow to happens to others less fortunate than ourselves is truly depressing. I personally will not be holidaying in Thailand or any of those countrieswhich can stop the poor unfortunatesfleeing Burma landing on their shores.But it is not all at a distance - slave labour is happening here in North Norfolk!It was brought to my attention last week, an acquaintance trying to get back into employment worked at a local cafe for a day as training! not that much training was given and then told at the end of the day she was not suitable and given no pay for her days toil as it was training!(I spoke with NNDC & ACAS andwith out a long drawn out procedurewhich a law student would find very difficult, there is no one who wants to know, as ACAS stated there is no employment police! well I think there should be) I had a call that the catching, cagingand dispatching of birds is to aid allof the environment, not just the shooting fraternity, the caller may be correct but I think nature, if left usually balances all in the end.

To finish on a happier note two jackdaws have returned to my friends chimneys. I am afraid that many our our Crab Tales readers will be disappointed to see that there is not a single joke in this issue. We always to include at least one but we had last minute adverts coming in. We will make up for it in the next issue so keep them coming in!

Dear Crab Tales Readers,On Weds 20th May, all those in our contacts list for [email protected] received this letter which is shown it was received:Hello,Hope all is well with you over there? Am sorry for the inconvenience and shock this message might bring to you now as you read, am so depressed and freaked out at the moment., I need assistance and prayers from you because i dont know who else to write this message to except you. My family and i had to be in Ukraine for holidays and a program, the program we came here for was successful but our journey has turned sour :((, We got involved in a car accident on our way back to the hotel we lodged after the program. The driver died instantly after the incident, but we where helped and rushed to a nearest hospital around the town here, Well. I thank God we are still alive and also can write you this message. Firstly the reason why i write you this message is to seek for your assistance financially, Because the doctor said we cant be discharge unless we pay our hospital bills just because we are not a citizen of their country. Please i want you to do me a favor by giving me a quick loan of some cash () to settle up our bills, and also get a cab to the airport and find our way back home before our bills starts going higher here in the hospital. I promise to refund back to you in full as soon as we get back hopefully tomorrow or next. Please write back now to let me know what you can do.

I await for your quick responds xxKind Regards, Lis Keddell, Crab TalesI would like to thank everyone who told me about this letter and would like to assure all who received it that we are fit and well and NOT in the Ukraine.Not only is this a horrible scam but we had to spend loads of time dealing with everything from reporting it to the police, sorting out our files on the internet, changing passwords and scanning the computer for virus threats (none found!) and after about 3 hours, retrieving our contact list which had been emptied, along with all our other folders. Later that day we noticed that we were getting no e-mails (on Copy Date!) so spent about anhour going through each problem with our internet providers who are investigating it.We are still getting very few e-mails as our usual contacts have been informed that the e-mail address - shown below- does not exist.If you tried to send us an e-mail on the 20th or 21st of May, could you please re-send it and accept our apologies if it is too late.

Dear Editor,I would like to express my thanks to all the wonderful people who voted for me in the local elections. Im overjoyed that I am able to build on the foundation from my previous two dbut years at NNDC. Working without divide, towards all things good, with vision and compassion for a brighter future. The election campaign was relentless and I am truly grateful to the deliverers & personnel at HQfor brilliantly backing a memorable campaign. My running partner, Pierre Butikofer, was an inspirational driving force on this journey and kept me going even when we were exhausted. My thanks are extended to Norman Lamb, who visited the town on numerous occasions to help out, even though he was running his own race for the region. There are so many other people who were involved so please accept a universal acknowledgement to embrace all of you.

Im extremely proud of our beautiful town and the many events it offers throughout the year, thanks to dedicated organizers and volunteers. I will continue to support their fine efforts at every given opportunity. Andreas YiasimiCromer Town

Dear Editor,I was quite surprised to see a letter from Mr HMouse in issue 061 of Crab Tales - I thought hed been mouse-trapped a long time ago.I note hes bothered by all the thank you letters which appear in your magazine. Perhaps there could be a special thank you page and that would mean more room for the entertaining letters -or even the controversial ones !On Monday 11th May, I was in Nth Walsham quite early, it was a beautiful morning, sunny, clear skies, warm -just the day for a bus ride around our lovely countryside.

Dear Editor, On the 20th June this year, I will be completing a tandem Sky Dive for the Multiple Sclerosis Thearpy Centre Norfolk (MSTCN).

Dear Editor,I would like to send a personal Thank You toeveryone who voted for me at the May 7th Elections. Having served for the last eight years, it is a great honour to have been re-elected to serve you all for a third term. Once again many thanks for your continued support and you can rest assured that I shall continue to do my very best working with you all for the benefit of our community which it has been my privilege to serve. Cllr Barry Smith NNDC. Representing The Mundesley Ward.

May is my favourite month with all the greenerycoming out everywhere so I thought Id take a trip to Yarmouth, passing through Smallburgh, Stalham, Sutton, Hickling, Catfield, Ludham, Potter Heigham, Bastwick, Martham, Rollesby, Fleggburgh, Filby, Ormesby and Caister.The Number 6 bus turned up but I couldnt geton it - it was that dreadful Postcards from Sheringham bus - beautiful pictures of Sheringham on the outside and like the Black Hole of Calcutta on the inside.What on earth do holiday makers think? How can they appreciate our lovely countryside through those black windows?Whoever came up with the idea of painting overthe bus windows to advertise Sheringham shouldbe made to travel on that bus forever - theyd soon end up with a headache.Blackened windows on cars are not approved of - why have they been allowed on buses?Janet Munro Mundesley-On-Sea

10 Years ago I was diagnosed with MS and the bottom of my world fell out. What better way to prove to myself and to others that life goes on than to actively raise awareness and funds for this great charity? I have MS, MS doesnt have me!The MSTCN is a registered charity providing services, information and support to all those affected by a long term neurological condition.

At Cromer Town Councils War Memorial Restoration stand, people could purchase letters or names of the fallen from WW2 to be engraved on the War Memorial as part of the restoration plans, running it were Mr & Mrs David Pritchard.The aim of the festival is to benefit local businesses and to involve local people while having fun and raising money for the RNLI stations.The weekend was very well organised and enjoyed by everyone. Thank you goes to the St Johns Ambulance. Thanks also for the very thoughtful residents letters.

Continued from Front Page

It is so lovely to have the festival on the Lawns, we would welcome more events here.Mr Jim Page would like to thank the RNLI and the many helpers involved in this event, as it all came together so brilliantly.

The Editor would like to thank Cindy Johnson for this report.

Open For Public Viewing Cromer RNLIs original boathouse on the East Promenade will be open at weekends. (Weather, Launches and crew permitting)Come along and see our inshore lifeboat George and Muriel on our open days. The boathouse on the East Promenade by the Henry Blogg Museum will welcome visitors. This historic building dates from 1867 replacingan older building, which was approximately 100 metres from the present area.

This new boathouse work included building anextension to the sea walls and a slipway acrossthe top of the beach.

The work cost 476.4s.0d and was carried out by a local builder by the name of E. Simmons. The cost of the station was met by Benjamin Bond Cabbell who had also bought a new lifeboat for the station at the same time.Since then the volunteer crews at Cromer have gained a record of gallantry stretching back to the beginnings of the RNLI. Some of the most notable rescues and service have been carried out by famous coxswains such as

Henry Blogg and Henry Shrimp Davies and their crews. (To date there have been awards of 45 Bronze medals, 8 Silver medals and 3 Gold medals). The station operated two offshore boats from 1923. The second boat was replaced by an inshore lifeboat (ILB) in 1967.

This photo below shows the crew in 2013 Ted Luckin is on the far right hand side.

New Showroom / Hardware Centre Opening Soon


Dear Editor,A sign for the times in Aylsham.

Just in time for the Spring Bank Holiday, Aylsham Community Partnership unveiled a striking newsign directing visitors to the Heritage Centre. The sign, made in oak by John Leaf of Matlaskewoodcarvers, was designed to fit and blend withthe existing church sign.

I take my hat off to everyone involved this this organisation as the ship movement along the Norfolk Coast continues to grow by the day.

Also present at the lunch were members of theFriends of Mundesley Coastwatch, which is a group of wives & partners of the watchkeepers who organise fund raising events. Their next meeting is on Tuesday June 2nd at 10.30am at the Corner House Cafe. For details phone Barbara Booth on: 01263 720 558 or Jan Molyneux on: 01263 478 226.On June 23rd a Garden Party from 1pm - 3pmat 13 Texel Way, Mundesley. Details fromBarbara on 01263 479 64 PK

On May 19th I joined nearly 100 members of Coastwatch & partners at the Royal Hotel in Mundesley to celebrate their 20th year of watching and recording the movement of the passing ships every day of the week from 8am to 6pm.

The star of the lunch had to be Richard May, whoback in 1995 set up the second Coastwatch inthe UK. There are now 50 stations in the UK. All of those who have given so much to this organisation over the years paid their respect to this delightful man.John Carpenter spoke brilliantly on Richards behalf (due to lost of voice) and awards were given to 6 volunteers for serving 5 years, one for 10 years, 2 for 15 years and 5 for 20 years (those good folks surrounding Richard May in the wheelchair). There are now 50 trained volunteers running the station overlooking the sea at Mundesley 7 days a week, rain or shine.Also present were The Lord Lieutenant and the High Sheriff of Norfolk, Archie McNichol and Nic Pratt.After speeches were given a lunch was served which was enjoyed by everyone.

Open From 30th May until September.Now 20 years on, the Maritime Museum will open from 11am - 1pm & 2.30pm - 4pm every day except on Saturdays.A meeting of volunteers was held on May 15that Mundesley Parish Offices to celebrate 20 yrs of the Museum being open. Notably the same number of years that the Coastwatch opened its door upstairs.As a volunteer working a couple of hours every week, I can recommend visitors to pop along tocheck out this free (and smallest) museum in theUK, as it is full of interesting photographs and records of Mundesleys history and, if they havethe time, you might be able to visit the Coastwatch station upstairs.It is also interesting to do a shift in the Museum so if you would like to spare a few hours every week during the summer showing visitors arounddo give Peter Gray a ring on: 01263 722 662 or on his mobile: 07799 105 611.Looking forward to welcoming you as a visitor and / or as a new volunteer.

Celebrating 20 Years

Dear Editor,We are so proud of our new car park at Thorpe Market church, but guess what? For the second time recently we have received the unwanted gift of open sacks of old Artex ceiling material heavy, soggy, messy and definitely not wanted. Fly-tipping despoils the countryside and has to be cleared away by SOMEONE. If any Crab Tales readers have any suspicions as to who might be the perpetrator of this despicable act please will they tip us off?

Have you employed anyone to work on your ceiling recently?

The latest offering is in a Wild Bird Feed sack.Margaret Hunter

[email protected]

I must also thank the many local shopkeepers and our Committee members who gave items for the Grand Raffle. We had a tremendous number of prizes.Finally, my grateful thanks must go to all whohelped prepare the hall & the food on Saturday afternoon, worked tirelessly during the evening and cleared up so well with the help of some of the dancers at the end of the evening.A tremendous evening. Well done.Keith Elphick. Chairman. Aylsham Christmas Lights Community Committee.

Aylsham Parish Church vicar Rev. Andrew Beane was on hand for the unveiling on Wednesday 13th May.The sign was constructed from oak donated by Aylsham residents Maureen and Richard Burr while Broadland District Council made funds available to cover the cost of carving.Commenting on the sign, Aylsham Community Partnership chairman Giles Margarson said: The Heritage Centre is a lovely building, sittingin the churchyard. It is a great resource for the town as well as an attraction for visitors. With the new sign, we believe visitor numbers will increase, allowing more people to enjoy what the Centre has to offer.Find out more about Aylsham Heritage Centre, at www.aylshamheritage.com

Norfolk Landscape Gardeners started off with humble beginnings, as JJS Gardeners working out of the back of a Rover 220 but it has rapidly grown into a thriving multi-vehicle company with multiple employeees.

This success is down to the tireless hard work of James Sandell, who after getting his qualifications at college decided to start his own business in the gardening and landscaping industry.

Joined by his partner Becky who worked alongside him in the field & the office they worked together to gain regular customers weeding and cutting grass. Larger projects came next and therewas nothing they couldnt turn theirhands to, such as fencing, patios, ponds & garden transformations.

But it was not all plain sailing, withcustomers who didnt pay, vehiclesthat went wrong more than they wentright, and having their prized Ford Ranger stolen in 2014, it seemed the world was against them, but with hard work, determination and their regular customers they managed to pull through. In 2014 came the decision to re-brand, so Norfolk Landscape Gardeners came into being.

Covering the area from Lowestoft to Holt the team of James, Becky, Susan, Trevor and Karl can make your garden dreams come true.

This family run business has the knowledge, experience, training and qualifications that you can trust to do the work efficiently and safely.

Customer TestimonialI recently had my garden landscaped by Norfolk Landscape gardeners who my sister recommended. Her garden now looks like a show piece, I was

unsure of how to improve the garden as it was very overrun with weeds &

tree stumps thrown in. Everything went well from the start. James came around

the day after I called to give me very helpful advice & suggestions, which

I thought would be very expensive but compared to two other quotes they

were going to charge me less money for more work.

Trevor & Karl turned up the following Monday and got straight on with the garden, the plants I had forgotten to move, were carefully dug up by Karl

and replanted in the front garden.They have done an excellent job and I have recommended them to all my

friends. Thank you James & co.

From Humble Beginnings

Afternoon TeaAt North Repps School..... .....who invited local residents and yours truly with the idea that the school provided tea and scrumptious cake and visitors informing the children of their knowledge of North Repps Marcus greeted me and, with help, supplied tea and sold me some raffle tickets. Tom taught me about Twitter & blogging, I have a lot to learn.Tabby made the tea while Keeley and his class asked probing questions on visitors knowledge of North Repps history!The tea finished with an amazing raffle followedby the result of guessing the teddys name, whichwas Ted e bear and won by Sofia on her second birthday.

A very enjoyable afternoon with the childrenpractising their one to one communicationskills and the visitors had a lovely tea and recalling memories of North Repps.

Looking at what they purchased, it appeared that every one of the children was buying sweets of some sort.As well as visiting Budgens they moved around the town doing other ventures, besides just shopping.They all appeared to be enjoying their morning shopping trip.

V. E. DayOn the 8th of May around 100 people gathered from Mundesley and beyond to celebrate 70 years since the end of the war. The event was organised on a shoestring and within just a week of Brian Hall Jr. posting on Mundesley Past & Present to see if any events were taking place to commemorate this anniversary.The Coronation Hall was swathed with flags whilst metres of bunting adorned the stage.

We danced to Glenn Miller, sang-along with Vera Lynn and formed a conga line to the Chattanooga Choo Choo! with our compere Nigel Holmes.

There was a raffle of rations such as a weeks sugar ration, meat from the Mundesley Butchers and a veg-box from Country Pickings. At 9:30pm the crowd all gathered outside to watch the WW2 veterans Cyril Ardley & Edward Hester light a beacon in unison with others around the country.Many Thanks to all of the impromptu committee whohave already started planning a VJ Day celebration which looks to be even larger!

History Tales Sheringham & Cromer In 1781This description of Sheringham and the North Norfolk coast dates back to 1781, the original text often uses an f where we would use an s for example efpecially crabs and lobfters. I have changed this to make it easier to read but otherwise left the original spelling and punctuation.

The town is divided into Upper Sheringham &Lower Sheringham, alias Sheringham Hithe, as lying by the sea shore; the houses in the former being nearly a mile from it, while those of the latter are so near the beach as frequently to suffer by the impetuosity of the tides. Lower Sheringham is situated on a part of the cliff which is but a few yards from the beach, and the cliff gradually rises on each side to up-wards of a hundred; the sea gains considerably here, and it is not un-common to observe large pieces of arable land carried away with corn growing ...so near do the people plough to the edge of a cliff, which strikes a stranger with horror to look down it.There is a very considerable fishery from thisplace of cod, skate & whiteings, but especially crabs and lobsters, with which this place and Cromer chiefly supply the London market, by vessels which take the fish from the boats while at sea. There is a very good inn at Lower Sheringham, much resorted to in summer for the sake of eatinglobsters in their highest perfection; the dining room stands so near the edge of the cliff, that athigh water no land can be seen, and from whicha stranger cannot but be delighted with the awfulbut pleasing prospect which the unbounded oceanaffords sometimes thirty or forty fishing boats within a mile of the shore, and often fleets of three hundred colliers and other large trading vessels are seen passing so near, that with the naked eye you may discover the men on board while at low water the beach is enlivened bythe multitude of fishermen either drying their nets, hawling up their boats, repairing their tackle, landing their fish, or securing their lobsters and crabs in coys, a fort of boxesfixed to the rocks, which the sea overflows and fills at every tide.This prospect may be enjoyed within doors, but when abroad you will be charmed by the beauty of the country, surrounded by richly cultivated, and what in Norfolk may be called bold and lofty hills; from the hill to the east of Lower Sheringham you command a wonderfully extensive view of the seacoast, abruptly bounded by Cromer light-house, about four miles to the east...

Cowshed CinderellaWritten by Miranda Marshall Director at Hayes + Storr

A farmers daughter from Carmarthenshire, West Wales dubbed the Cowshed Cinderella has won 1,300,000 from her parents for her 30 years of work and the loss of her young days of freedom.

The High Court in Cardiff was told that Eirian Davies, 45, missed out going to dances to look after the cows on the family dairy farm while her sisters partied. Hard-working Eirian was assured by her parents Tegwyn and Mary that you will have the damn lot one day. Eirian gave her life to the farm in the belief that her patience and hard work would be rewarded and that she would take over the thriving farm and its pedigree milking herd when her parents retired.

Until she reached 21 she worked for nothing. After that she often received as little as 15 a day for milking the cows. If she complained about her treatment, her father told her not to kill the goose that lays the golden egg.

Both her sisters Enfys and Eleri left home to pursue other careers and for the past 20 years Eirian was alone on the farm with her parents.

Eirian was shown a copy of a Will in 2009 whichleft nearly all the farm to her. Relations with her parents deteriorated when she formed male friendships. A family fight broke out and the parents began proceedings to evict Eirian.

Eirian launched a legal battle for her rightful share. The Appeal Court found that she had relied toher detriment on her parents promises and thrown herself into working on the farm. She was thus entitled to a beneficial interestin the business in order to reflect her sufferingand the promises made to her.

It was ruled that the farm was worth about 3,800,000 and that an appropriate award for Eirian would be 1,300,000 for her to start a farm of her own.

The legal way of preventing this problem would have been to put in place a properly drafted Partnership Agreement to protect the respective interests of the different parties. This advice would apply to any family business.

From Snails To PizzasAylsham High Schools Nurture Group had a great time making pizza this week as part of a visit from representatives of Aylshams Cittaslow Committee. Giles Margarson, chairman of the Committee, was accompanied by Mo Anderson-Dungar & Town Clerk Sue Lake, between them explaining what Cittaslow is all about and how it benefits the town.Rather than just a talk, Giles, Mo and Sue used the pizzas as a metaphor for how the community comes together via Cittaslow: the pizza base represented Aylsham itself, the tomato paste the towns infrastructure while the toppings are the local people. Cittaslows emblem of a snail was also discussedwith the youngsters learning that Cittaslow translates as Slow Town so the use of the snail emblem is particularly appropriate. The local community and its infrastructure was further highlighted by a discussion on how moneyspent with local businesses in the town often stays in the town to support the local economy.Commenting on the event, the High Schools Head of Nurture Danny Sweatman said:What a fabulous afternoon! Thank you Giles, Mo and Sue for providing such an interesting talk pitched perfectly for our young people.

They thoroughly enjoyed it and I know they will now be very keen to do what they can to support our community even further.Aylsham is currently one of only 5 towns in theUK which have met the strict entry criteria of the Cittaslow movement that internationally includes 147 towns in 24 countries. Cittaslow status is an accreditation that acknow-ledges the dedication & commitment of communitymembers who work hard to make their part of the world a healthier, greener, happier, slower place to inhabit.

The competition, which required entrants to make 15 sausage rolls, raised a very healthy profit which went towards the Neo Natal Intensive Care Unit, who helped the landladys grandson Theo.After the winner, Valerie Whiteford, who just happens to live across the road in West Street, pictured above on right with Annie, was declared, a raffle was held of numerous items which had all been donated.The remaining sausage rolls were sold on the night to raise even more funds.I didnt enter the competition but the sausage roll I tried did go down very well thank you.

I asked Dave. With now over thirty eight years under our belt, we have a great many very happy customers. Most of them, if they have not done so already, would happily write a letter of recognition for the work we have done that does smarten up their house.

It is all about getting it just right and giving our customers up-front quotes for the work we will do, not like those
