Thought for the Month…

Hello everyone, “So much beauty we need to look after”, said the boy, as he, the mole and the fox looked out onto the great beyond. (from The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse by Charlie Mackery, it’s a book well worth a look, beautifully illustrated with a few simply chosen words) Whether we are looking close up to a dew laden spider’s web or earth worm or further away to one of those glorious red Norfolk sunsets, there is “much beauty” around, above, and below us. Planet Earth, we are told is about 4.5 billion years old. It holds us up literally and supplies what is needful for life. We, humankind, are latecomers to this planet. If you look at the age of Earth as a 24 hour clock, we showed up at about 11.43pm. How can we care for its beauty and in so doing care for each other? Words like: threat, uncertainty, risk, disaster, extinction, crisis is language often used in relation to Climate Change. It seems there is a lot of fear around. Perhaps we can look at things differently. If we see and delight in the beauty of the world, (as the boy, the mole and the horse did) we will naturally long for others to share that same joy. Working with each other and our planet we can face the challenge ahead with hope and optimism. Pie in the sky? I don’t think so, but come and see what you think. You are warmly invited to a series of evenings, (see opposite) as we explore the challenges and opportunities we face locally and internationally. We all have something to contribute. Let us tread gently together for the sake of the world. With my love

(Team Vicar)

What’s On in Our Villages……

75TH V.E DAY ANNIVERSARY In preparation for the 75th V.E Day Anniversary, Friday 8th May 2020 (Bank Holiday) we are proposing to hold a village event that would bring us all together to celebrate the peace we now all enjoy following the sacrifices made by so many, including our own brave residents. This is be a free event open to all and an opportunity to get together and have some fun. It is hoped to apply for a road closure to enable us to have an informal parade from a central village location to the Village Hall followed by a picnic in the park, with perhaps some entertainment and activities. This is currently only a proposal and we would like to involve as many people from our village as possible, we hope you can get involved by joining us to form a steering group to enable this all to happen. We have already had some positive indications from the local council regarding some funding. Please feel free to contact Diane Ingram or Katie Barnes, we would so appreciate some support. There will be a preliminary get together on Tuesday 28th January 7.30pm at The Mill Centre to finalise some ideas and make a formal plan for the event to take place. Please help us in creating a memorable celebration that everyone can enjoy. Diane Ingram – ingramcc9@tiscali.co.uk 01508 498549, Katie Barnes - ktbarnes11@gmail.com 07940436805

FOOD BANK On behalf of all The Food Bank recipients, and the staff who work so energetically and understandingly to help them, thank you for all your donations last year – sadly still needed in 2020. Our next collection is on SUNDAY 2ND FEBRUARY AT BEDINGHAM CHURCH. At Christmas we often receive special items of food we cannot eat for various reasons, the Food Bank accepts these gifts gratefully, but please check the sell-by dates – as with all items! We recently heard of someone who had to really make herself seek out a Food Bank to serve her desperate needs. She had suddenly lost all previous means of support. The helper at the Food Bank listened and provided for her needs. She returned some time later to thank them all, and to say she now had a job, a safe home, and enough to live on. Items can, as usual, be left at the Hempnall Church Office, Mon- Thurs, 9am-1pm. May you all be truly blessed in your giving and receiving.

THE FRITTON AND MORNINGTHORPE QUIZ NIGHT which took

place on 15th November raised a final total of £1057.34, which is a fantastic result. This will be put towards the cost of a defibrillator for the two villages. This event was especially successful as Richard and Sonia from The Butcher’s House VERY generously donated all the sausages. We thank everybody who attended the evening and everybody who made a donation of whatsoever nature.

RON COOPER A message to all who were involved in my surprise birthday on Tuesday 3rd December. Thank you all so much for your secret planning, cooking, booking, support, cards and gift vouchers.

SHELTON AND HARDWICK - DEFIBRILLATOR Last year, two men in Hardwick suffered major heart attacks and thankfully survived. On both occasions, the emergency services wanted to know the whereabouts of the nearest defibrillator. This has prompted Shelton and Hardwick Parish Council to seek funding to enable a defibrillator to be made available in the Parish. The Parish Council would be interested to hear from anyone in the Parish who would like to make a donation towards the cost or who is trained in the use of a defibrillator. Please contact the Parish Council by e-mail to:- sheltonandhardwickpc@outlook.com

Clinician wise in February we say goodbye to Dr Jenny Drummy who has been with us for 6 months. Jenny has enjoyed her time here at LSMP and she remains focused on a future career in General Practice. She is moving onto a placement in Palliative Care as the next stage of her training. We wish her good luck for her forthcoming wedding. Dr Hannah Bardsley remains with us until March when she will move onto a placement in the ENT department. We have our UEA students back with us and over the next few weeks they are learning about Mental Health, then back again in March for Obstetrics & Gynaecology. We also have some students from Cambridge University. Some of you may be asked to see a student under supervision from the GPs. There is never any obligation to see students but we remain very grateful to those who do see them as it is a vital part of their learning and they are our next generation of doctors. Dr Lara Douglass Message from our Patient Participation Group The next patient health information evening will take place late April and will focus on “The Heart.” Norfolk Accident Rescue Service has agreed to hold a training session on CPR (Cardiopulmonary resuscitation) and defibrillator use.

Gardening tips for February

Spring is in sight

This month there are signs of the approaching spring, with bulbs appearing

and wildlife waking up as light levels and temperatures increase. There's

plenty to do indoors this month to prepare for the season ahead. Outdoors,

as the garden comes to life again, it's time to prune shrubs and climbers,

such as Wisteria as well as evergreen hedges.

Top Ten Jobs for February:

• Prepare vegetable seed beds, and sow some vegetables under cover

• Chit potato tubers

• Protect blossom on apricots, nectarines and peaches

• Net fruit and vegetable crops to keep the birds off

• Prune winter-flowering shrubs that have finished flowering

• Divide bulbs such as snowdrops, and plant those that need planting 'in the green'

• Prune Wisteria

• Prune hardy evergreen hedges and renovate overgrown deciduous hedges

• Prune conservatory climbers such as bougainvillea

• Cut back deciduous grasses left uncut over the winter, remove dead grass from evergreen grasses
