 GARDENING
JANUARY is a broody month. There you are with the spoils of your seed catalogue, all
set to get propagating, but there's a snag. With the exception of broad beans and
shallots, which you should be sowing later this month if the weather becomes mild and not
too wet, it's too early to do much other than dig.
However, there is nothing to stop you planning. And mark my words, once sowing time begins
you will regret any lack of forethought, If you have a lot of last year's seeds left over,
you can save money by using some of them. But this could be a dreadful waste if they did
not germinate. So test them now. I have always dreaded February. It is sometime during
this month that you feel that winter is never, never going to end. The occasional day will
dawn cheerful and you will be tempted out into the garden only to be defeated by the
ground being too frosty or by a sudden fall of snow or rain. If you are thus thwarted you
can give your morale a bit of a boost with thoughts for the summer-even if it does seem it
will never come- and get sowing a few seeds in warmth under glass.
SHERINGHAM CARNIVAL QUEEN
I was Miss Sheringham 1969 when I was 19 years old and was holidaying in a caravan in
East Runton. There were photos taken which were supposed to be published in the
local newspaper and I paid for copies to be sent to me but I never received them. I do
have a few photographs of my own. I remember it very well and it is my only claim to
fame so I never forgot my visit to Sheringham. Linda Keller

Local scouts ringing through the community!
On Wednesday 13th December, West Runton Scout Group Handbell Ringing Team visited
BREAK’s Rainbow centre,which provides holidays and respite care for children and
adults with a range of disabilities. Handbell ringing has been a West Runton scout group
tradition since 1945 when the founder Miss Avis Marsh donated her set of 14 bells to the
group. The Troop perform Christmas carols every year around the community, including
hospitals and churches and thoroughly enjoy this marvellous tradition that has remained
unbroken for over 60 years! Group Scout Leader, Paul Henriksen took the team to Rainbow.
The young scouts were George Warner, Eleanor Wilford, Elsa Poulter, Sam Moffatt, Leon
Hilder and Odette Hilder. Paul Henriksen, Group Scout Leader said of the evening “We
visited Rainbow last year and had so much fun that we came back again this year!
The scouts and guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves!” Rainbow provides round the
clock supported holidays and respite care for children and adults with a range of
disabilities and is open throughout the year. For many families their loved ones are
reliant on them for everything and BREAK provides them with a lifeline giving a well
earned rest from the strains of full time caring.
Jenny Lovick, Deputy Manager at Rainbow said “The guests always enjoy the
scout’s visits and get so much enjoyment from the handbell ringing. We all sing and
clap along and even have a go at handbell ringing too! We would also like to say a massive
thank you to all the scouts for their support!”
