Roys of Bowthorpe 200 cheque presentation to ME-Support Norfolk

Roys of Bowthorpe were pleased to present ME-Support Norfolk with a
200 donation from their Making a Difference Locally fund (MADL). The
MADL fund raises money by way of a proportion of the price of certain
grocery products being donated once a product is purchased. The MADL
fund is then donated to support local communities.
ME-Support Norfolk contacted Roys as a small, self-funding volunteer
organisation which offers moral
support and practical assistance
to sufferers of debilitating ME.
Roys donated 200 to help the
running of the organisation
including monthly meetings,

EDWARD 1ST COIN ON

DISPLAY
Some 40 years ago
Mr. Patrick Whiley, one of
Bowthorpes earliest
residents, went out with his
metal detector. Workmen
were clearing the ground for
the new Sainsburys in
Bowthorpe Main Centre
where Roys now stands. Mr.
Whiley gained permission to
use his detector, and sure
enough, a ping soon
sounded and he began to
investigate.
A number of bones had to be
cleared out of the way, and
underneath was a small silver
coin. This was taken to the
Museums Service and Mr.
Whiley was told it was not Treasure Trove as only one coin
was found, and he could keep it. The bones turned out to
be those of a sheepa Ram in fact. Apparently, according
to certain folk lore, farmers would throw a silver coin into
the grave of a Ram to speed it on its way and help to
ensure that a new Ram was born to replace it.
Mr. Whiley has looked after the coin all this time, but has
now given it on permanent loan to Bowthorpe church for
public display.
It is a Canterbury Longcross Silver Penny from the reign of
Edward 1st (1272-1307). The coin dates from the time
when the original eleventh century church was dedicated to
Saint Michael and All Angels in 1304. It has no monetary
value but is of great historical interest. It is now secured to
the inside wall at the back of the church, next to the glass
seat through which a portion of the oldest remains of Saint
Michael and All Angels Ruin can still be seen.
Thanks are expressed to Mr.Whiley for his generosity.

Christian Aid week May 15th 21st 2016.
Now is the time of year to think of our poorer neighbours, in our world.
Bowthorpe Church raised 1505 in 2015 for Christian Aid, which went to
the worlds neediest people. We are hoping to raise a good amount in
2016!
We will have a house to house collection in a number of streets in
Bowthorpe, also we are collecting outside of Roys on Friday and Saturday
(20th & 21st May). We are grateful to Roys for their support. If you are
able to help with either of these, please contact me.
We start with a Quiz, for fun, at Bowthorpe Church on Saturday, 14 th May
beginning at 7pm. This costs 6 per person and includes a tasty ploughmans supper and drink (non alcoholic!). Please let me know if you
wish to come and if you have any dietary requirements.
Christian Aid continues to transform so many peoples lives,
*with a simple insecticide-treated net to prevent malaria in Nigeria &
Kenya, * mobile phones for pregnant women in Mali to improve health
care, *providing food & supplies for those in quarantine with the Ebola crisis and giving training on how to prevent the spread and catching of this
dreadful disease. * Indigenous communities in the Amazon no longer liable for land tax, so that they do not have to cut down the trees in the forest
to pay, *providing vital supplies to 50,000 people fleeing conflict in the
Middle East, *help people to become self-sufficient with a goat, bee hive,
seeds & a hoe, water supply, and so the list goes on including involvement
in climate change, tax reforms, gaining equality and land rights.

On the very first Easter Day, the Bible

tells us that Mary Magdalene went to
the tomb and heard Jesus, whom she
presumed was the gardener, ask her
Woman, why are you crying? Think of
people who have been crying this
week. Maybe you know them or maybe
you have seen images in the news.
Maybe they are crying because their
home or livelihood or health or family have been taken away. There are
many reasons why people cry. If Jesus were to ask you why you cry,
what would you say?
Then Jesus asked Mary a second question. Who is it you are looking
for? Through her tears, Mary was looking for the dead body of Jesus.
She wasnt expecting a resurrected Jesus who was fully alive! Many
people arent expecting anything other than the end when they die, but
the Bible says because Jesus is alive and has defeated death, we too
can hope not just for this life but we can go on and live when we die. That
life begins in the here and now when we put our faith in the risen Christ.
Also Jesus speaks Marys name. It is a greeting, a consolation, even a
gentle rebuke, and an invitation all rolled into one word. Mary knew him
and yet she didnt know him or recognise him. He was the same and yet
different. He was alive but with a new sort of life, the like of which
humanity had never seen before. Jesus speaks your name too. He
knows your name and invites you to make a new start, to have a new
hope. How will you respond?
Happy Easter Season.

ASHWELL COURT

Hello Everyone

It seems that at long last, having passed the official first day of Spring, the weather
is becoming more spring-like, although it is still very chilly when not in the sun. How
lovely it is to see the sun again however! How gorgeous it will be to have really
warm weather again and sit out to admire our gardens. They do look pretty good
considering the time of year. Its lovely to see the daffodils again and the hyacinths
which are blooming so well and are lovely blues and pinks. We have received our
first lawn cutting and it really looks beautiful.

At Ashwell Court we are continuing to enjoy our various activities. On

Monday we play darts and we are improving!. We now have a brand new
dartboard and official-looking mat to stand on. This is marked where we are
allowed to stand to throw the darts unfortunately there isnt a line about 24
inches from the board! Needless to say our scores are improving and most
of the time our darts are staying in the board and not finishing on the floor.
Our exercises continue on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, as does our
Craft Club on Wednesday afternoons. Our book club which relies on the
library van to order and receive books, is having a little difficulty at the
moment as the van has not arrived on Thursday. No doubt after Easter
all will return to normal.
On another note I gather that Brian who comes to Ashwell Court each
week to deliver fresh fish, is retiring after 20+ years of
delivering fish. I know many residents who are regular customers will be sorry but the good news is that a new man is
starting and he will be coming with Brian for a few
weeks. Brian will finish at the end of April but your fish will
still arrive each week, even after Brian hangs up his
scales. We wish him every happiness in his retirement.
Among the Easter Eggs, Easter Bunny etc, we held our very successful
annual Easter Raffle which raised the grand total of 94 which one of our
generous residents, Len Fox, kindly made up to 100. Thanks to all who
contributed prizes.. The array of eggs for prizes was fantastic. Hopefully
you all enjoyed a lovely Easter, and relaxed any diets in order to enjoy Hot
Cross Buns and Easter Eggs.
Happy Spring!

BRADECROFT
Hello again.
Yes, here I am. Here we are looking
forward to the Spring sunshine and
the longer days. Gooodbye to dark
mornings and especially dark afternoons.
I managed to take a few steps along
the path to look at the wonderful
Snowdrops and Crocus on the lush
green grass.
Welcome to all new neighbours. It
was delightful to meet Ruth and
Robert, also Roberts beautiful Guide
Dog Harry.
Just to remind new Bradecroft
residents, there is a Coffee Morning
in the hall on Monday mornings at
10am;
Darts Tuesday evening at 8pm
and Bingo.
If anyone has news in Bradecroft
please let me know.
Hope you have had a
lovely Easter.
Annie Clode

I am very upset that NO one from Bradecroft let me know that Mrs
Queenie Harvey aged 95 had passed away and that her funeral had
already taken place.
My late Father Mr Alfred Newton lived next door to her and did a lot for
her and the other residents on Bradecroft before he passed away 3
years ago.
My condolences to Steve and Lenny Harvey and their Families.
From Mrs Sylvia (Sibby) Wesley.

The financial year ends in April and thats a good time to do an audit, to find out and record exactly whats what. The local woods of
Bunkers Hill and Twenty Acres were recently audited and there is
now an official list of the plants that grow there.
Some were a surprise: I didnt know that Small-Leaved Lime was growing in our
woods. I dont know where it is. I shall have to look more carefully and track it
down. And some that I do know are there are missing from the official list. The
auditors didnt notice the Spindles. They did notice the Wych Elms and Hornbeams
that I was delighted to find for the first time last year. The more you look, the more
you see. So the list is never complete, however official. Some of us like lists. For
those readers, and for the record, these are the 17 kinds of trees the auditors saw:
Field Maple, Sycamore, Hornbeam, Sweet Chestnut, Hazel, Midland Hawthorn,
Hawthorn, Beech, Ash, Scots Pine, Wild Cherry, Elder, Small-leaved Lime, Common Lime, Pendunculate Oak, Wych Elm and English Elm

If you knew that the Midland Hawthorn was different from ordinary Hawthorn,
well done! They are easy to tell apart. The rarer Midland Hawthorn has much
rounder leaves, much less indented, and the flowers smell horribly of rotten flesh.
The Small-leaved Lime sometimes has smaller leaves than the Common Lime: less
than 9cm compared to more than 6cm. This unfortunately means that a Smallleaved Lime may have bigger leaves than a Common Lime. But it has reddish tufts
of hairs at the corners of the leaf veins instead of whitish ones.
Midland Hawthorn and Small-Leaved Lime together with Holly are indicator species of ancient woodland. So our woods may have been there a very long time. We
cannot be sure as there dont seem to be any records earlier than the 1800s.
It is important to keep records, whether money or trees. Bunkers Hill Wood and
Twenty Acre Wood used to be called Long Plantation and Sandy Plantation so
at some time they were planted. But maybe there are traces of an ancient wood
showing through for those who know where and how to look.

Mow & Grow Top Gardening Tips
Hello again. With the Spring sunshine hopefully warming up the soil April is
a time when we garden in earnest and burn off some of that Easter
chocolate!
Spring cleaning... Deadhead daffodils and narcissi; give them a liquid feed
and dont cut off the leaves as they are necessary to replenish the bulb for
next year. Hoe borders getting rid of weeds before they take hold and tackle
ground elder etc with systemic weed killer painted onto the leaves.
Vegetables... Start to sow vegetables outdoors e.g. Root veg, Purple
sprouting Broccoli, Rocket and Winter Cabbage. Think about succession
sowing, dont sow all your seeds at once do them in batches and plant
Onion sets so you have new crops all season.
*Top Beetroot Tip* - seeds germinate more readily if rinsed in cold running
water first. Want to keep cool for summer? Try home-grown beetroot ice
lollies - a delicious and healthy treat!
Remember to protect new spring shoots... move new and young plants
from greenhouse to cold frames and harden off tender plants putting them
outside on warm, calm days. Dont forget to bring them back inside at night
as April may still have a sting in the tail!
Pruning and dividing... Cut back Verbena (semi wooded flowering plants)
and Penstemons (Beardtongue). Get your plant stakes and supports in
early before everything wakes up ahead of Summer. Cut out dead wood
and crossing stems and check over deciduous shrubs for wind and winter
damage. Early flowering shrubs can be pruned back after flowering except if
they bear fruit and berries later in the year.
Planting... Plant water Lilies and marginal plants in ponds, box and
lavender hedging, other evergreens, Rhododendrons and Azaleas.
Early lawn care... Use a half moon to edge your Lawns and define the
beds and borders. Overseed previously treated areas and bare patches,
breaking the surface with a rake or lightly fork over to create a bed for the
seed and apply 10-15g per metre. Feed existing lawns but not newly
seeded areas with fertilizer.
Slugs and snails... love tulips and feast on delicious young shoots. Use pet
-friendly slug pellets, and soak ground around hostas with liquid slug killer to
exterminate any slugs hiding below the surface.
*Top Snail Tip* - pick snails off plants and leave for the birds. Place a few
flat stones around the garden as birds will use them to break open the shell
and have food for their young.

Silver award makes Lorraine a shining example!

A weight-loss expert from Bowthorpe has won a sparking silver award for
the exceptional work she does in helping more than 100 people in the
areas Morning group to lose weight every week.
Lorraine, who runs the Bowthorpe Slimming World groups, has been given
the Silver status by the national slimming club because of her success in
supporting local slimmers to reach their dream weight, improve their health
and change their lives. The accolade is awarded to Slimming World
Consultants who have 100 members or more in their group come back
week after week because theyre losing weight beautifully and wouldnt
miss their weekly group for anything. Its the 1st time Lorraine has been
awarded the prize since becoming a Consultant in July 2014.
She says: "I am delighted to have received the Silver award for the
Bowthorpe Morning group. I feel passionately about helping people to
transform their lives by losing weight in the same way that I did when I lost
5st with Slimming World in 2013. Losing weight made me feel happier and
healthier and gave me so much more confidence. I became a Consultant
because I wanted to share that feeling and help other people to achieve the
same success I had myself. Seeing the members in my group mums,
dads, grandmas and young people too reach their target weight is so
rewarding and receiving this award is just the icing on the cake.
"This award belongs to the Bowthorpe Morning groups 120 members.
Theyre the ones who make our group the success that it is, with their
fabulous commitment, the wonderful support they give each other every
week, and, obviously, their impressive weight losses while following
Slimming Worlds Food Optimising eating plan.
"The Bowthorpe group has really put healthy weight loss on the map in
Norwich. Together, theyve lost an amazing 80 stones so far this year.
Obesity is at record levels everywhere. Many people here are suffering a
range of weight-related health problems from diabetes to heart problems
and feelings of low self-worth that impact on their working and personal
lives every day. Its never been more important that overweight people get
the support to make changes to and
lead healthier lives both for themselves and the future generations,
their children, too."
To join the Bowthorpe group, which is
held every Thursday at 10am, 12pm,
5.30pm & 7.30pm at Namco Funscape, Bowthorpe Industrial Estate,
either pop along or give Lorraine a call
on 0789 408 7044.
