Inspector gives green light
for Broomhill Lane housing
IN its long-awaited report, the Planning Inspectorate has generally accepted Broadland District Council’s plans for new
housing in Reepham.
The report gives the go-ahead for 120 new homes to be
built on land off Broomhill Lane (site PS48-01) as part of the
Council’s Site Allocations Development Plan Document (DPD).
Broadland said the report concludes that the plan “meets the
criteria for ‘soundness’ in the government’s National Planning
Policy Framework, subject to modifications being made”.
In her report, the government-appointed planning inspector
Louise Crosby noted a high level of opposition to the proposed site from local residents, but agreed with Broadland’s
plans for Reepham – subject to improved access from a
realigned Broomhill Lane onto School Road and the provision
of a public footpath to the site.
According to the report, the developer expects housing
construction on the site to begin in August, with the first
homes ready for occupation in May 2017.
It is further stated that the build rate will be around 35
houses per year, which “is likely to result in the provision of
a steady supply of dwellings in this sustainable location and
contribute to the five-year supply of homes”.
It is anticipated that a total of 120 new houses will be built
on the Broomhill Lane site: 25 in 2016/17, 50 in 2017/18 and
45 in 2018/19.
The planning inspector also said that both Anglian Water
and the Environment Agency raised no objections as to how
the Broomhill Lane site will deal with foul and service water,
surface water discharge or sewage capacity, following monitoring
to assess the capacity at Reepham Water Recycling Centre.
The Site Allocations DPD also calls for the development of
land at the former station yard on Station Road, Reepham
(site PS48-02), on which is proposed a mixed development of
residential and employment, accommodating around 20
homes, B1 and B2 employment uses.
The Site Allocations DPD will shortly be considered for
adoption by Broadland District Council. There will then
follow a period of six weeks whereby a challenge to the ad-

A main modification to Broadland District Council’s Site Allocations
Development Plan Document for Reepham is that vehicular access is to
be from a realigned and improved Broomhill Lane, where 120 new homes
are planned
opted plan can be made through an application to the High
Court on the grounds that the plan is not in accordance with
the legislation and/or does not comply with a procedural requirement.
Meanwhile, Broadland has accepted a requirement to review
its housing development plan in 2015/16 as part of the Joint
Core Strategy (JCS) for Broadland, Norwich and South Norfolk,
which was adopted in 2011 and originally designed to cover
the period up to 2026.
A new Strategic Housing Market Assessment (SHMA) is
now being prepared jointly within the three districts in the
greater Norwich area, together with Breckland, North Norfolk
and the Broads Authority.
This will lead to the preparation of a new local plan,
possibly for adoption in 2020/21 and covering the period up
to 2036, which may mean that all the rejected sites – and
perhaps others – could be put forward again in the future.

Reepham Life is a free monthly

Reepham Community Press
Local groups face volunteer shortage
HOW much time do you spend each
day glued to your smartphone, checking
social networks or texting friends and
family? In the evening do you sit on the
sofa, shopping online or watching Netflix
or Youtube?
And it’s not just kids. Many of today’s
compulsive social media checkers are
adults between the ages of 25 and 54.
So could you spare just an hour or
two a month becoming involved in
some of Reepham’s key community
groups and voluntary bodies?
Small community organisations and
groups are often seen as a kind of social glue – they bind local communities
together, but are often unseen and undervalued.
But many are struggling. For example,
Reepham Town Council, which should
have 12 elected members, is now down
to just seven councillors.
The Reepham Society is still looking
to fill three officer positions with the
outgoing chairman stepping down at
the end of April.
The Reepham Chamber of Commerce,
too, is now without a permanent chairman or secretary.
The Bircham Centre is looking for
three new trustees after several recent
resignations, while the Reepham Festival
of Light committee needs more volunteers
to help run this year’s event, which is
planned for Thursday 8 December..
Meanwhile, the Love Your Community
board was recently displayed in the Bircham Centre. A number of volunteering
opportunities were on display, but no
further opportunities were added to the
list and no volunteers came forward.
So, where is the next generation of
volunteers?
Reepham Life gets many letters and
emails from “armchair critics”, who are
more than happy to criticise these organisations and voluntary bodies, telling
them that “someone should do something”, but are unwilling to become involved themselves and take action.

Dogs to be banned from playing fields
AFTER receiving numerous complaints of dog fouling, the trustees of
Stimpson’s Piece have reintroduced some restrictions on the use of the field
by dogs, which were initially approved in 2008.
While the trustees welcome responsible dog owners and their animals on
Reepham’s recreational area, in future dogs must be kept on leads at all
times – except in the designated dog-walking area in the lower part of the
field, beyond the tennis courts and the second football pitch, where they can
run free under the control of their owners. The trustees also ask that dogs be
kept off the football pitches at all times.
Apart from the general nuisance to visitors, dog fouling particularly affects the
football club, which may have to cancel or postpone matches if the problem
persists, and the nursery, which needs to take small children on to the field.
“It should go without saying that we expect owners to clear up after their
animals,” the trustees say. “Dog bins are provided at the Bartle Court
entrance to Stimpson’s Piece, at the entrance to the car park in Kerdiston
Road and at the end of the footpath to Kerdiston Road, opposite Catchback
Lane.” Suitable notices will be erected as soon as they are available.

Should dogs be banned from other public places in and around Reepham?

Driving remarks
IN response to Stephen Howard [Reepham Life, April 2016], who commented
on my recent article about ongoing traffic problems, I have never waged a
campaign against motor vehicles, although I can find plenty to say about
thoughtless, inconsiderate drivers.
Like many others I rely on a car for
transport and want to be able to use it
safely and easily on our roads. To suggest I have an attitude leaning towards
health and safety gone mad is ridiculous.
Stephen’s outlook might be different if
he had the misfortune to witness a serious traffic accident; damage to parked
vehicles and buildings is not uncommon.
It is also unfair to accuse me of driving
Hampton’s away from Reepham. Yes, I
raised the issue of congestion in Norwich
Road. But I believe the owners of Hampton’s realised their location was unsatisfactory and made the decision to relocate.
I have no axe to grind with them and
understand their new site has proved to
be a significant improvement and good
for business.
In respect of the coaches, I cannot
believe that these oversized, generally
empty vehicles provide a satisfactory or
cost-efficient service for local residents.
They are a nuisance to other road
users and a potential danger, with their
drivers acting as if they have some kind
of legal priority on our roads.
I have never proposed getting rid of
them, but there should be a review to
see what improvements can be made.
If Norfolk is going to be turned into a
massive housing estate it needs proper
and affordable transport systems.
While I believe Stephen is trying to
be witty with his remarks about my apparent recollections of horse-drawn carriages, I suspect things probably worked
reasonably well in the days before motor
vehicles ruled and travellers used a
local railway service.
Regarding new car parks, the first
place to consider is the recreation
ground; the second is by the doctors’
surgery.
If we are to be burdened with hundreds
of new houses it should be a condition
that the developers pay for more parking
and some road improvements.
As for the Town Council falling back
on its usual set of excuses about parking
being decriminalised from 2011, this
sounds like the routine cop-out.
Simply suggesting that local residents
should be more considerate is an astonishing response. How does this work
for outsiders visiting Reepham?
As for the excuse that more yellow
lines would have financial implications,
I have to ask for whom?
What a shambles things are becoming.

Growing slice
I WAS surprised at some of Mr Urry’s
comments about Whitwell Station in the
April issue of Reepham Life. He describes
a long and growing list of events now
held there, many in the new function
building, with the prospect of events on
every Friday and Saturday night as well.
It may surprise some to know that
the original application [for the development of Whitwell Station] was for
this to be “a railway museum and tearoom”.
Mr Urry claims that “the site’s assets
must be used to the maximum to enable
the railway to survive”.
It seems to me the station is doing
fine without him needing a thick slice
of the Marriott’s Way as well, which is a
much-valued public asset.
He also stressed that “Whitwell Station
brings a lot of money into Reepham”.
Not only does this contradict his point
that the site needs to expand to be selfsupporting, but it also raises the question,
“how?”
Not, presumably, through those spend-

Friday night history
IT is very easy to fully support something
that does not prevent you using and
enjoying your own home, or indeed
your children sleeping at night.
I suspect that Peter and Suzanne Stainton of Heydon are not affected at all by
events at Whitwell Station [Reepham
Life, April 2016].
Fortunately for me neither am I, with
the exception of travelling every Friday
night during the summer along Nowhere
Lane towards the A1067 against the flow
of literally hundreds of motorbikes.
If you look a little way into history
you will find that Heydon was the venue for Friday night bikers – and the inhabitants of Heydon did not enjoy the
privilege. The relief when the bikers
ceased to congregate in that village was
palpable.
Maybe Peter and Suzanne did not live
in Heydon at that time, but if they ask
anyone there I am sure they would be
fully apprised of what was thought of
the situation.
I am sure it is a majority of horse-riders
that are concerned, not a minority.

Betrayed by ‘democracy’
IT is staggering that, despite the comments
from the planning inspector recognising
that it is the most unpopular site and a
significant retrograde step in local traffic
management coupled with overburdening
of all the roads, the Broomhill Lane site
still forges ahead [news, page 1].
Having listened, and presented, to
Broadland District Council on a number
of occasions, their arguments are very
weak and far too generic to suit the
needs of our town.
Quite frankly, we have been betrayed
5
by a so-called democratic system and
remain powerless to defend our needs
and desires.
The Town Council seems to have
finally realised that the “new” cemetery
is not free and is looking at other options.
It is baffling what the high school
thinks it will really gain from this.
I believe it will suffer significantly
from too many growing pains with
its plans of becoming an academy
umbrella for other schools, let alone
having to cope with major reconstruction of the front of the school,
which will result in less parking that
is at a premium.
Far better and more viable options
are available for Reepham to build
fewer houses, including “windfall”
numbers, which would mean more
realistic yet more sympathetic growth
for the town.
The cash-strapped spatial planning
team at BDC are simply ticking boxes
to ensure delivery of poorly justified
targets and an easy option to deliver
yet more houses on the same site to
satisfy the next Joint Core Strategy.
It can only be reflected that continued overzealous housing targets and
subsequent land allocations in our
region leaves us all disappointed and
betrayed by all councils and their officers. Barely a week goes by in
which another report in the EDP
shows this as fact.

Under 16 success
THE Reepham under 16 football team
has scored a huge success in the
2015-16 season. In Division 3 of the
Norfolk Combination Youth Combination League, they had a stunning
season, finishing the top of the league.
To win this, they achieved 34 points,
which was six points higher than the
team in the number two slot. They
also had an unbroken track record of
not losing a single match.
They are a great group of team
players and it was a co-ordinated
effort. We have the coaches to thank
and are all very grateful for their hard
work and enthusiasm – cheers to Neil
Kumar and Andy West.
Well done to all the boys; we are
very proud of you.

Road to recovery
WE would like to convey our sincere
thanks to all our relatives, friends and
neighbours who have been so kind
and helpful during Theresa’s stay in
the Norfolk & Norwich and Papworth
hospitals, where she underwent major
heart surgery.
The many gifts, flowers and cards
you sent helped to improve Theresa’s
spirits and were so appreciated.
While your kindnesses have been
too numerous to detail in full, we
would like to mention one or two of
the many as follows: Janice and Terry;
Sarah and Sally; Judith and Mike; Margaret and family; Beverley and Phillip
and all at The Crown; Dessy and

We cannot adequately express our
gratitude for all your kindnesses.
Theresa is slowly on the road to a
full recovery.

Where there’s a will, there’s a way, but is there a will?
WE solicitors all receive the trade magazine The Law Society Gazette once a
week.
In the small ads at the back there is a
section called “Wills And Whereabouts”,
which is full of adverts placed by solicitors trying to trace wills made by lately
deceased people.
These wills are believed to exist, but
cannot be located by the family, and so
their solicitor advertises – forlornly I
imagine – for the will to be found in
the vaults of other solicitors.
There is a more sophisticated way to
do it: the National Will Register, which
has a website and which may locate a
will (for a fee).
It isn’t guaranteed to find a will; it will
depend on what information has been
entered in their database and what other
public sources can tell them. You may
even register your will on the website.
legal view
MARK FOLEY
The best way to look after your will
though, is to look after it yourself. Mine
is in my office at home, and each executor has been sent a copy.
When I send a will to a client for execution, my standard letter says: “It is
important that nothing is attached to
the will or letter by a staple or paperclip
or anything else; if there are any such
marks on the will then the Probate
Court is likely to think that there was
some other document with it and will
not give a grant of probate.”
It is sensible to send photocopies of
the wills to the executor/s with exact
instructions as to where they will find
the original will when the need arises.
It is also a good idea to store it in a
stout envelope so that it remains in
pristine condition.
If a will cannot be found, sometimes
a copy is good enough to get a grant of
probate. If there is no copy or original
found, then it is a case of being without
a will – intestate – and the estate will
devolve according to the intestacy rules.
And the money spent with the solicitor
getting the will done will have been
wasted.

help with your legal affairs,

YOUR COUNCIL MATTERS
Bottle banks raise funds
for the local community
RESIDENTS may have noticed that the
bottle banks on Station Road car park
were particularly full last month, but
have now been emptied.
The glass collecting contract was
transferred (without the Town Council’s
knowledge) to another company, who
weren’t aware how often they should
collect the glass, so didn’t bother collecting at all.
Hopefully, the problem has now
been resolved, the glass banks will be
emptied regularly, and residents can
once again put their bottles in the
bottle banks and raise funds for the
local community.
Should you find the banks in Station
Road car park full, alternative glass
banks can be found at Stimpson’s
Piece and The Crown Public House.
Cemetery trenching exercise
It is hoped that the trenching exercise,
to establish if there are burials in the
empty area behind the bench in the
cemetery, will have been carried out
in April (weather depending).
The Town Council are keen to ensure
there is sufficient cemetery space to
accommodate those who want it.
Town Hall toilets refurbished
The refurbishment of the Town Hall
toilets is now complete – the latest in
a series of improvements in the building. Thanks to Andrea Wilson and the
Town Hall Management Committee
for all their work in taking these im-
provements forward and raising funds
for much of the work.
As there was no grant money available for the toilet refurbishment, this
has been paid from Reepham Town
Council reserves. It is anticipated that
the work to replace/repair the Town
Hall roof will begin in July.
Dancing at Stimpson’s Piece
The vinyl flooring has been extended
throughout the pavilion and Stimpson’s
Piece has now become the home of
Parallel Dance Studios – a warm welcome to them. Classes are held on
Mondays and Thursdays from 4 – 7.30
pm.
For more information please see
their website: paralleldance.co.uk. They
have kindly offered to give the main
hall a coat of paint – a generous offer
the Trustees are very happy to accept.
At the time of writing, the Trustees
had only just received the final draft
of the water management programme
from Reepham Town Football Club. It
is hoped that, now this has been received, a date can be agreed for the
football club to take over the management of the showers as per the signed
agreement. In the meantime, the Council is still checking the water on a fortnightly basis.

worked hard to tidy up the boundary
around the Stoney Lane allotments.
They cleared masses of brambles
that were encroaching on the path
around the allotments; the debris was
burned on site by a local volunteer.
While they were doing the work, it
became clear that allotment material
was being dumped over the fence
onto an adjoining area. This is unneighbourly behaviour and in contravention of the tenancy agreement allotment holders sign.
The issue of rats has been raised
again. While the Community Payback
Team found no evidence of rats around
the edges of the allotments, the matter
will be raised with the Reepham Allotment & Leisure Gardeners Association (RALGA) and plot-holders.
There are currently vacancies on
Fiddlers Field, so if you would like an
allotment plot, contact the Town Clerk.
Council vacancies
The Council lost three of its Councillors last month, with Chris Wheeler,
Gary Saunders and Hayden Key all resigning. Thanks to them for all their
hard work while they were members.
However, this means the Town Council desperately need to find five new
Councillors. For those who are interested/concerned about the future of
Reepham, now is the time to consider
taking a more active part in the civic
life of the community.
Please see “Information for prospective new Councillors” on the “Members
& Officers” page of the Town Council
website, or contact the Town Clerk, Jo

planning
Bawdeswell says ‘no’ to traveller site
BAWDESWELL Parish Council has strongly objected to a proposal for a permanent
gypsy/traveller site on the outskirts of
the village.
The planning application submitted
to Breckland District Council is for a
change of use of land to a private gypsy
and traveller caravan site consisting of
six pitches and six amenity buildings at
The Stables, west of the Old Workhouse
Paddocks, Reepham Road, Bawdeswell.
Following its meeting on Monday 4
April, which was attended by more than
100 residents, the Parish Council outlined
its objections to the plans, principally
that they do not conform to Breckland’s
existing Local Development Framework
and the new draft Local Plan, which
stipulates that traveller sites should be
situated on well-located sites within the
settlement boundaries of settlements
designated Local Service Centres or larger.
It was noted that there is already one
such site on Reepham Road. Further,
the site access would be on to a busy
and dangerous main road (the B1145
Bawdeswell-Reepham Road), and there
is no mains foul sewage to the site.
In conclusion, Bawdeswell Parish
Council said it is “firmly of the opinion
that the planning application should be
refused on the grounds there is no definitive need for such a site in the pro-
posed location which is agricultural land
in open countryside, outside of the settlement boundary of a small rural community which lacks the key facilities
and support services necessary.
“The site is not in any of the Breckland
preferred locations, and the extra vehicular traffic involved with the application would pose serious and dangerous
highways issues.”

What has the Town Team achieved so far?
REEPHAM Town Team has been in operation since the beginning of 2013.
Nearly three years down the line, the
Team has agreed to report back to the
community on what it has been doing

discuss becoming members.
In essence, the Town Team is an umbrella group of local organisations and
community members that want the best
for Reepham.
It seeks to pursue the economic and
social development of the town to ensure Reepham remains a special and vibrant place in the Norfolk countryside.
The Town Team includes representatives
from the Town Council, District Council,
Reepham Chamber of Commerce, Reepham Society, St Mary’s, Reepham Community Press and Reepham High School
& College. Town, District and County
Councillors regularly attend, as does the
local MP when the situation requires.
The idea for a Town Team was floated
in late 2012 by Broadland District Council
against a backdrop of a fresh focus on
the plight of town centres and high streets
driven at that time by Mary Portas.
Many other Town Teams across the
UK have been and gone since that time
– but not Reepham’s. The Town Team
developed an economic strategy based
on a range of economic and social research and consultations.
The strategy identified the key issues
affecting Reepham and set out projects
and initiatives to mitigate these problems;
it is these projects that the Team continues to deliver.
While it operates without any significant
resource, the collective energy, goodwill
and entrepreneurialism of its members
is enormous and has helped to develop
and deliver a huge number of achievements for the town, many of which
may go unnoticed.
Achievements to date include:
l reinvigorating and relaunching Christmas in Reepham as the Festival of Light;
after two hugely successful years, plans
are already in place for 2016;
l identifying the opportunity, pursuing
and securing improved mobile phone
reception via the Vodafone Rural Open
Sure Signal programme;
l preparing new branding, signage and
marketing material for the town;
l responding to the loss of the Old
Brewery House Hotel and threat of a
huge gap in the Market Place by marketing the site and supporting the development of the Dial House;
l engaging with HSBC following its an-
nouncement to close its branch in Reepham and pushing them to introduce
transitional cover, local business banking
and a replacement cash machine in the
Market Place (watch this space);
l developing and staging a range of social media courses for local businesses,
surveying local shoppers and trialling a
number of evening opening events;
l working with Broadland District
Council to ensure that Reepham is on
the map for major cycling events and
ensuring local businesses are well placed to benefit;
l holding a successful drop-in event last
month where around 40 local businesses
discussed funding opportunities for economic development available through the
Wensum and Coast Local Action Group.
Whether these achievements are taken
on and led by groups that are members
of the Town Team or individuals from
the community, the Town Team has been
the mechanism for people to come together, discuss ideas, raise concerns, coordinate action and collectively deliver.
The group meets monthly throughout
the year for a few hours in the evening.

Reepham Town Bowls Club: ‘time to take on the big boys’
A NEW season is now under way and
we have been promoted to Division 1
in both the Elmham and Dereham
leagues, so we will have our work cut
out. We are also still playing in the
County League and the Roving Cot, so
the next few months are going to be
busy.
We now have new doors and windows fitted as it looked like the old
ones could fall out in a strong wind.
Thank you to Windows Plus for doing
a superb job and also for giving us a
preferential rate which was much appreciated.
Once again a big thank you to the
late Gerry Oates for his generous contribution, without which we could not
have carried out the work, and also to
the King’s Arms for their continued
support.
We are always on the lookout for
new members, so why not give it a try?
You can ring or email me for details or
just pop down to the club on a Thursday
or Saturday afternoon after 2 pm where
somebody will guide you through.
We have spare bowls if you want to
try it out. The only thing you need are
a pair of flat shoes (or you could play
in your socks if the weather permits).
It’s a very pleasant way to spend an
afternoon and remember, you do not
have to be of a certain age as our
members range in age from teenagers
to the elderly.
See you on the green.

Range of music at third Reepham Beer Festival
THE third Reepham Beer Festival will
be held from 26-28 August. Organised
by Panther Brewery, the annual event
will host more than 20 real ales and
ciders, as well as a continental bar,
which will again be run by Thirst Consultants, who do the same at the Norwich
Beer Festival.
The beers on offer will include the
full Panther range and many from around
the UK. This year the event will be supporting two charities: the Stimpson’s
Piece trust and Reepham Scouts.
There will also be a variety of different
styles of music from local and touring
bands. On the Friday evening, local
band Wake The Neighbours will play
classic rock covers from the 70s through
to the present day
On Saturday, there will be several
bands, including touring blues musician
Howlin’ Mat. Described as the “English
Seasick Steve” he plays an eclectic set
of original tunes and standards on a
Dan Electro electric guitar and a cigar
box through a small Dan Electro combo
producing a superb gritty blues tone.
Further details will be announced
closer to the time, but keep an eye on
Facebook (PantherBrewery) and Twitter
(@ReephamBeerFest) for the latest updates.
Reduced price advance tickets – weekend £5 and day tickets £3 – are available
in Reepham from Very Nice Things,
Meloncaulie Rose and Panther Brewery;
free entry to CAMRA members.
Meanwhile, Panther Brewery head
brewer Martin James attended the highly
successful Meet The Brewer Event at
the Shadingfield Fox in Beccles.
“It was nice to have a chance to meet
fellow beer lovers and Panther fans, as
well as make some new ones along the
way,” said Mr James.
“If you would be interested in having
a chance to talk beer with a professional
in your local, then please encourage
your local pub landlord to sign up to
our loyalty scheme for this and many
other great rewards.”

The Dial House ‘ideal for a special occasion’
NESTLED in Reepham town centre, the
Dial House has certainly found its feet
from the early days, and has taken on

taken. We were given a menu that included six nibbles, six starters, five

The choices are not extensive, but all
tastes are catered for and the menu
changes on a monthly basis.
My companion started with the puff
pastry parcel filled with cheese and I
had a starter of salt cod croquettes with
aioli. They were both well-presented
and tasty, although I would have prewww.reephamlife.co.uk
ferred the cod croquettes served hotter.
Our main courses were the roasted
salmon fillets and the Thai pork burger;
they were both excellent and once again
well-presented. The waitress was always
on hand if required, but was not intrusive.
We were not tempted by the desserts
as I felt they let down an otherwise
very good menu.
Overall, a very pleasant evening.

Animal Wise by Virginia Morell
A fascinating look at what we know
about animals’
thoughts and emotions.
Morell talks to
scientists researching the inner lives
of animals as diverse as ants,
dogs, dolphins
and horses.
I’m no scientist,
but I found this
very readable and utterly absorbing.
Geek Girl by Holly Smale
There’s a myth that you can be “good
looking” or you
can be clever, but
you can’t be both.
Harriet Manners is
here to prove that
wrong. A self-confessed “geek”,
Harriet is surprised and excited to
be discovered by
a model agency
and whisked off
into a new and glamourous world.
But it’s not as easy to reinvent yourself
as Holly thinks – and when all is said
and done, does she really want to? A
fun yet thought-provoking read for
young people.

Birds, bats and breakfast at Whitwell Common open morning
THE trustees of Whitwell Common
have devised a different theme for the
annual open day this year on Saturday
7 May. There will be an early start of 6
am for a guided walk to hear the dawn
chorus and identify the birds by their
songs.
Hot bacon rolls will be available af-
terwards, before moving on to the
results of the bat recording equipment
and the moth traps, both set up previously.
There will be experts on hand to
identify flora, insects, butterflies and
birds spotted during the open morning,
which will finish at 12 noon.
Whitwell Common is a spring-fed
valley fen in the Blackwater tributary
of the river Wensum. It is situated approximately two miles to the south
west of Reepham on Nowhere Lane.
Please follow the signs for parking as
space at the entrance is limited. Waterproof boots and clothing are essential.
digger’s diary
Catching nature on the wing
THE little birds are on the wing again…
closely pursued by the sparrowhawk,
who has taken up residence in the
main cemetery.
One day it was chased off by rooks;
another day by gulls. Just for a change,
one day the gulls were chasing a rook,
who was carrying in his beak a mandarin
that earlier had been in the road, probably trying to hitch a lift back to China
to dance in the moonlight.
Digger found a whole loaf of bread
lying on the churchyard path one morning, and nobody having claimed it, put
it on the bird table. The rooks came
and sat on the fence and took turns to
peck holes in it, pushing off those who
took too long.
And Digger also saw and heard the first
nightingale to be reported from Norfolk
this year, in Kerdiston Road; they had
been seen in Suffolk the previous day.
Talking about wildlife, several people
claim to have seen a polecat in the area
– and indignantly reject the suggestion
that it was only a ferret. Polecats are, indeed, said to be moving back into the
county. But the best way to tell is to
catch one and spin it round; it will always
end up with its nose pointing north.
And at Easter, appropriately, there
was a white rabbit on Marriott’s Way, I
fool you not. It had pink eyes and
Digger thought for a moment someone
had put a toy there as a joke, but it ran
down a burrow in the warren near
Bawdeswell Road.
As to the plant kingdom, there is a
tree in Mill Road covered in giant onion
bhajis. Digger never knew that they
grow on trees; he thought that they
floated down canals.

UP THE GARDEN PATH
gardening
WITH
VICTORIA PLUM
Take time to admire your plot
MAY can be a treacherous
month; one minute warm
spring sunshine, the next
frost, gales and hailstorms.
Keep an eye on the weather forecast if you’re planning
to plant out tender seedlings
and be prepared to provide
emergency protection with
horticultural fleece or bubble
wrap.
If you planted all your seed potatoes
in April, earth them up to protect the
newly emerging shoots.
And it’s not too late to quickly get
any remaining seed potatoes into the
earth, but not where you grew potatoes
last year as potato blight can linger in
the soil. Add plenty of compost and
manure to help produce a hearty crop.
If the weather is kind, the soil will be
warm. While this means that weeds are
shooting up and need to be tackled, it
also means there is a mass of sowing to
be done, including carrots, peas, parsnips,
beetroot and onion sets, as well as the
succession growing of salad crops.
Even as autumn-sown broad bean
plants are flowering, you can pop a few
more seeds into the earth for a late
crop. However, tender
French and runner beans
sulk horribly if planted in
cold soil or chilly nights,
and are best planted out
only once warmer weather
is assured.
I also sow my courgettes
and cucumbers on a crowded bedroom windowsill in
May to plant out in June
when I’m certain all chance of frost has
passed.
There are few things more exciting
for the allotment holder than sowing
and planting out all those vegetable
plants with all their potential for a delicious harvest in just a few weeks.
And if the sun shines, do take a few
moments to sit and admire your plot,
listen to the exultant skylark in the blue
sky, and watch the butterflies and bumblebees.

Visitors invited to smell the roses at Heydon
RESIDENTS of Heydon are inviting visitors to stop and smell the roses this Father’s Day and explore the gardens of
Heydon Hall, which are rarely open to
the public, together with a variety of
gardens in their picturesque village.
Charles Shippam, Heydon Parochial
Church Council (PCC) treasurer and village resident, explained: “Heydon Hall
and Village Open Gardens Day provides
a wonderful opportunity for visitors to
discover one of the prettiest villages in
Norfolk and take a stroll through the
gardens of Heydon Hall, The Grange,
the Old Rectory, the Old Cottage, Poppyland and others.”
There will also be a display by the
North Norfolk Classic Vehicle Club, entertainment by the Holt Ridge Morris
dancers, a plant stall and refreshments
on the village green.
Mr Shippam added: “Heydon is one
of less than a dozen privately owned
villages in Great Britain and became
Norfolk’s first conservation area in 1971.
Heydon is also currently home to six
County Wildlife Sites; has won Best
Kept Village on two occasions; and has
been the setting of numerous film and
TV productions.”
Heydon Hall and Village Open Gardens
Day will take place on Sunday 19 June
from 2–5 pm.
Admission to the Heydon Hall gardens
costs £3 per person and entry to the
Heydon village gardens costs an additional £3 per person (no charge for
Conserving invertebrates
As Sir David Attenborough has said:
“If we and the rest of the back-boned
creatures were to disappear
overnight, the rest of the world
would get on pretty well. But if the
invertebrates were to disappear, the
world’s ecosystems would collapse.”
The Invertebrate Conservation
Trust, headquartered in
Peterborough, is the rather academicsounding name for Buglife, a
British-based conservation charity.
Its aim is to prevent invertebrate
extinctions and to maintain
sustainable populations of
invertebrates in this country.
Therefore, Buglife promotes study
and research, habitat management
and biodiversity, and publicises
invertebrates. I wonder whether it is
because we find insects unappealing
and difficult to love that this charity
has a difficult job to do.
Ask yourself which shiny collection
tin you would put your generous
charitable donation in, the one with
the pretty, long-haired kitten or the
one with the worm or earwig on it?
All you gardeners out there surely
know how important all the tiny
wildlife around us is, so google
“Buglife” (www.buglife.org.uk) and
please make it your business not to
be too destructive in your garden.
And let’s hope our buddleia bushes
will be full of butterflies this summer.
children 14 years and under). Tickets
can be purchased on the day at the
main gates to Heydon Hall and on Heydon village green.
There is free car parking and dogs on
leads are welcome in Heydon Hall park.
All proceeds from the Open Gardens
Day will go to the Heydon PCC to help
fund the restoration of the historic organ
in St Peter & St Paul church.

Mothers’ vision turns faith into action
FAITH to Action has four million members working in 83 countries from New
Zealand to Nigeria, Finland to Papua
New Guinea. Its vision is to turn Christian
faith into action, supporting people of
all faiths and none.
Mary Sumner, who had this original
vision nearly 140 years ago, was a clergy
wife with three grown-up children.
When her eldest daughter had her
first child she was reminded of the responsibility of being a parent and sometimes the feeling of inadequacy and
being swamped by this new role.
This spurred her on, not only to support her own daughter, but to provide
support for other mothers in the parish.
So she invited to the rectory sitting
room not only those from her own
social class, but all the village mothers
too – ground-breaking stuff in the Vic-
torian era!
Here in Reepham we have a branch –
the Mothers’ Union. Established 140
years ago, its purpose is to build up a
network of Christian women and now
men.
It responds to families in need, not
with an unwarranted confidence that it
has all the answers, but rather offering
practical help, cherishing the value of
each individual within the family in its
many forms.
In the Norwich Diocese, the Mothers’
Union provides “away from it all” holidays for families experiencing difficulties
or who need a break.
You may have seen Marguerite Phillips,
our Norwich Diocesan president, speak
on television about Sanctuary Norfolk,
an organisation that provides support
for refugees coming to live in Norfolk.
Rayzone Friday night club video in progress
OUR Friday night club continues to be
attended mainly by girls, and they have
started to devise their own activities for
the evening and involving everyone attending in what they have planned.
We are also starting to produce a video on a Friday night, which is being
done by the members; when finished it
will be used to help promote Rayzone
and hopefully be on our website. If
you are able to help in putting this together, please get in touch.
We are always looking for extra help
during our sessions, either on a regular
basis or even just once a term.
If you are able to help please get in
touch, especially if you can help during
this current term: with the better weather
(hopefully) we would like to try and do
more things outside, but for that we
need more helpers.
Finally, our latest newsletter is now
available from either the Methodist
Church or Parish Church.

Chorale sings Brahms
The North Norfolk Chorale will give
a summer concert at St Peter & St
Paul, Salle, on Saturday 4 June at
7.30 pm.
The performance will include
Brahms’ German Requiem, sung in
English. More details, including the
guest soloists, will be announced on
the Chorale’s website shortly.
Following this concert Rosemary
Kimmins, the Chorale’s musical director, will stand down after 14
years’ service.

Pinnies and shimmies for WI girls
OUR February meeting gave us the
chance to sample some typical medieval
food and drink and learn the origins of
some rather rude swear words.
Rosie Wilkin, dressed in her medieval
cook’s outfit, had us in stitches. All the
food, including bread and pie, had been
cooked by Rosie herself using authentic
recipes. This was accompanied by large
quantities of mead and a drink produced
by monks, which made me gasp and
my eyes water.
The salsa session with Teele Killing at
our March meeting was also great fun.
WI girls proved they know just how to
shimmy.
Other activities in Norwich include
providing refreshments in prison visitor
centres, putting together “baby bags” of
clothes for new mothers in need and
running parenting courses.
Nationally, Mothers’ Union campaigns
against the commercialisation and sexualisation of children, aiming to give
them back their childhood. It has also
set up an emergency relief fund directly
to support areas of crisis throughout
the world.
Globally, Mothers’ Union’s vision is
as diverse as each country in which it
operates, but the bedrock of its work,
and the springboard for action, is prayer.
Reepham Mothers’ Union events are
always advertised in Town & Country.

Looked at your framed pictures recently?
Been invaded with little flies?
Has the picture slipped? Has the glass broken?
Just plain dirty inside?
Or - do you just fancy a change of style?
Not major problems, but the use of inappropriate
materials can damage your treasured pictures.
Call your local
picture framer

How you can help prevent ‘rural crime’
“RURAL crime” takes many forms and,
unfortunately, by the very geography
of rural areas this is often very difficult
to prevent or remedy without the actions
and assistance of those most affected.
Broadland District has the enviable
status of being one of the safest areas
to live, not only in Norfolk, but the
country as a whole; however, that does
not detract from the effect any crime
has on the victim.
Unfortunately, there is currently a
trend of sheds, allotments, garages and
other outbuildings being targeted by
thieves, as well as a number of trailers,
particularly Ifor Williams, being stolen.
As an agency, the police are doing
what we can to target, actively patrol and
apprehend offenders; however, the best
partner for us in this situation is you.
Be sure to securely lock doors and access points to buildings, secure machinery
and vehicles, photograph your property
and record serial numbers for future reference should the worse happen.
Look out for one another, take an interest in your neighbour’s property and
know what is “normal” so that the “abnormal” may be spotted.
Report anything to the police that
you believe to be suspicious: a strange
vehicle, a strange caller, a building that
has been disturbed or anything that
you believe simply is not right.
Please call 101 with any information you may
have or if there is an emergency where you
fear for someone’s immediate safety or that of
any property call 999.
Full house for Reepham Village Cinema
For the first time in the history of Reepham Village Cinema, we had a full house in
March for The Lady In The Van. Apologies to those who did not get in, but I am so
grateful to you all for supporting the cinema and I hope you continue in the
future. With lots of help I have picked the next two movies for May and July: The
Danish Girl and Room; both dates to be confirmed. Doors will open as usual at
7.30 pm, film starts at 8 pm; tickets £4 available at the post office or on the door.
