EDWARD 1ST COIN ONDISPLAY

Some 40 years agoMr. Patrick Whiley, one ofBowthorpe’s earliestresidents, went out with hismetal detector. Workmenwere clearing the ground forthe new Sainsburys inBowthorpe Main Centrewhere Roys now stands. Mr.Whiley gained permission to

use his detector, and sureenough, a ‘ping’ soonsounded and he began toinvestigate.

A number of bones had to becleared out of the way, andunderneath was a small silvercoin. This was taken to theMuseums Service and Mr.

Whiley was told it was not Treasure Trove as only one coinwas found, and he could keep it. The bones turned out tobe those of a sheep—a Ram in fact. Apparently, accordingto certain folk lore, farmers would throw a silver coin intothe grave of a Ram “to speed it on it’s way and help toensure that a new Ram was born to replace it.”

Mr. Whiley has looked after the coin all this time, but hasnow given it on permanent loan to Bowthorpe church forpublic display.

It is a Canterbury Longcross Silver Penny from the reign ofEdward 1st (1272-1307). The coin dates from the timewhen the original eleventh century church was dedicated toSaint Michael and All Angels in 1304. It has no monetaryvalue but is of great historical interest. It is now secured tothe inside wall at the back of the church, next to the glassseat through which a portion of the oldest remains of SaintMichael 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 world’s neediest people. We are hoping to raise a good amount in2016!

We will have a house to house collection in a number of streets inBowthorpe, also we are collecting outside of Roys on Friday and Saturday(20th & 21st May). We are grateful to Roys for their support. If you areable to help with either of these, please contact me.

We start with a Quiz, for fun, at Bowthorpe Church on Saturday, 14th Maybeginning at 7pm. This costs £6 per person and includes a tasty plough-man’s supper and drink (non alcoholic!). Please let me know if youwish to come and if you have any dietary requirements.

Christian Aid continues to transform so many people’s lives,*with a simple insecticide-treated net to prevent malaria in Nigeria &Kenya, * mobile phones for pregnant women in Mali to improve healthcare, *providing food & supplies for those in quarantine with the Ebola cri-sis and giving training on how to prevent the spread and catching of thisdreadful disease. * Indigenous communities in the Amazon no longer lia-ble for land tax, so that they do not have to cut down the trees in the forestto pay, *providing vital supplies to 50,000 people fleeing conflict in theMiddle East, *help people to become self

-sufficient with a goat, bee hive,

seeds & a hoe, water supply, and so the list goes on including involvementin climate change, tax reforms, gaining equality and land rights.

Rest In Peace

Bernard Raymond Carter on 10.02.16 aged 76

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 wasn’t expecting a resurrected Jesus who was fully alive! Many

people aren’t 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 Mary’s name. It is a greeting, a consolation, even agentle rebuke, and an invitation all rolled into one word. Mary knew him

and yet she didn’t 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.

ACORN FELLOWSHIP FOR THE OVER 50’s

Mondays 2.30 Bowthorpe Church

April 11th: Speaker- Gronnie The Open Trust

April 25th: Members Meeting

ASHWELL COURT Hello Everyone

It seems that at long last, having passed the official first day of Spring, the weatheris becoming more spring-like, although it is still very chilly when not in the sun. Howlovely 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 goodconsidering the time of year. It’s lovely to see the daffodils again and the hyacinthswhich are blooming so well and are lovely blues and pinks. We have received ourfirst lawn cutting and it really looks beautiful.

At Ashwell Court we are continuing to enjoy our various activities. OnMonday we play darts and we are improving!. We now have a brand newdartboard and official-looking mat to stand on. This is marked where we areallowed to stand to throw the darts – unfortunately there isn’t a line about 24

inches from the board!

Needless to say our scores are improving and mostof 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 ourCraft Club on Wednesday afternoons. Our book club which relies on the

library van to order and receive books, is having a little difficulty at themoment as the van has not arrived on Thursday. No doubt after Easterall 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 ofdelivering fish. I know many residents who are regular cus-tomers will be sorry but the good news is that a new man isstarting and he will be coming with Brian for a fewweeks. Brian will finish at the end of April but your fish willstill arrive each week, even after Brian hangs up hisscales. We wish him every happiness in his retirement.

Among the Easter Eggs, Easter Bunny etc, we held our very successfulannual 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 whocontributed prizes.. The array of eggs for prizes was fantastic. Hopefullyyou all enjoyed a lovely Easter, and relaxed any diets in order to enjoy HotCross Buns and Easter Eggs. Happy Spring! Margaret

BRADECROFT

Hello again.

Yes, here I am. Here we are looking

forward to the Spring sunshine andthe longer days. Gooodbye to darkmornings and especially dark after-noons.

I managed to take a few steps alongthe path to look at the wonderfulSnowdrops and Crocus on the lushgreen grass.

Welcome to all new neighbours. Itwas delightful to meet Ruth andRobert, also Robert’s beautiful GuideDog Harry.

Just to remind new Bradecroftresidents, there is a Coffee Morningin the hall on Monday mornings at10am;

Darts Tuesday evening at 8pm

and Bingo.

If anyone has news in Bradecroftplease let me know.

Hope you have had alovely Easter.

Annie Clode

I am very upset that NO one from Bradecroft let me know that MrsQueenie Harvey aged 95 had passed away and that her funeral hadalready taken place.

My late Father Mr Alfred Newton lived next door to her and did a lot forher and the other residents on Bradecroft before he passed away 3years ago.

My condolences to Steve and Lenny Harvey and their Families.

From Mrs Sylvia (Sibby) Wesley.

The nancial year ends in April and that’s a good me to do an au-

dit, to nd out and record exactly what’s what. The local woods of

Bunkers Hill and Twenty Acres were recently audited and there is

now an ocial list of the plants that grow there.

Some were a surprise: I didn’t know that Small-Leaved Lime was growing in our

woods. I don’t 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 ocial list. The

auditors didn’t noce the Spindles. They did noce the Wych Elms and Hornbeams

that I was delighted to nd for the rst me last year. The more you look, the more

you see. So the list is never complete, however ocial. 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, Com-

mon Lime, Pendunculate Oak, Wych Elm and English Elm

If you knew that the Midland Hawthorn was dierent from ordinary Hawthorn,

well done! They are easy to tell apart. The rarer Midland Hawthorn has much

rounder leaves, much less indented, and the owers smell horribly of roen esh.

The Small-leaved Lime somemes has smaller leaves than the Common Lime: less

than 9cm compared to more than 6cm. This unfortunately means that a Small-

leaved Lime may have bigger leaves than a Common Lime. But it has reddish tus

of hairs at the corners of the leaf veins instead of whish ones.

Midland Hawthorn and Small-Leaved Lime together with Holly are indicator spe-

cies of ancient woodland. So our woods may have been there a very long me. We

cannot be sure as there don’t 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 Plantaon” and “Sandy Plantaon” so

at some me 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 isa time when we garden in earnest and burn off some of that Easterchocolate!

Spring cleaning... Deadhead daffodils and narcissi; give them a liquid feedand don’t cut off the leaves as they are necessary to replenish the bulb fornext year. Hoe borders getting rid of weeds before they take hold and tackleground elder etc with systemic weed killer painted onto the leaves.

Vegetables... Start to sow vegetables outdoors e.g. Root veg, Purplesprouting Broccoli, Rocket and Winter Cabbage. Think about successionsowing, don’t sow all your seeds at once do them in batches and plantOnion sets so you have new crops all season.

*Top Beetroot Tip*-

seeds germinate more readily if rinsed in cold runningwater first. Want to keep cool for summer? Try home-grown beetroot icelollies - a delicious and healthy treat!

Remember to protect new spring shoots... move new and young plantsfrom greenhouse to cold frames and harden off tender plants putting themoutside on warm, calm days. Don’t forget to bring them back inside at nightas 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 woodand crossing stems and check over deciduous shrubs for wind and winterdamage. Early flowering shrubs can be pruned back after flowering except ifthey bear fruit and berries later in the year.

Planting... Plant water Lilies and marginal plants in ponds, box andlavender hedging, other evergreens, Rhododendrons and Azaleas.

Early lawn care... Use a half moon to edge your Lawns and define thebeds 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 toexterminate any slugs hiding below the surface.*Top Snail Tip* - pick snails off plants and leave for the birds. Place a fewflat stones around the garden as birds will use them to break open the shelland have food for their young.

Silver award makes Lorraine a shining example!

A weight-loss expert from Bowthorpe has won a sparking silver award forthe exceptional work she does in helping more than 100 people in thearea’s Morning group to lose weight every week.

Lorraine, who runs the Bowthorpe Slimming World groups, has been giventhe ‘Silver’ status by the national slimming club because of her success insupporting local slimmers to reach their dream weight, improve their healthand change their lives. The accolade is awarded to Slimming WorldConsultants who have 100 members or more in their group come backweek after week because they’re losing weight beautifully and wouldn’tmiss their weekly group for anything. It’s the 1st time Lorraine has beenawarded 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 totransform their lives by losing weight in the same way that I did when I lost5st with Slimming World in 2013. Losing weight made me feel happier andhealthier and gave me so much more confidence. I became a Consultantbecause I wanted to share that feeling and help other people to achieve thesame success I had myself. Seeing the members in my group – mums,dads, grandmas and young people too – reach their target weight is sorewarding and receiving this award is just the icing on the cake.

"This award belongs to the Bowthorpe Morning group’s 120 members.

They’re the ones who make our group the success that it is, with theirfabulous commitment, the wonderful support they give each other everyweek, and, obviously, their impressive weight losses while followingSlimming World’s Food Optimising eating plan.

"The Bowthorpe group has really put healthy weight loss on the map inNorwich. Together, they’ve lost an amazing 80 stones so far this year.Obesity is at record levels everywhere. Many people here are suffering arange of weight-related health problems from diabetes to heart problemsand feelings of low self -worth that impact on their working and personal

lives every day. It’s never been more important that overweight people getthe support to make changes to andlead healthier lives – both for them-selves and the future generations,their children, too."

To join the Bowthorpe group, which isheld every Thursday at 10am, 12pm,5.30pm & 7.30pm at Namco Fun-scape, Bowthorpe Industrial Estate,

either pop along or give Lorraine a callon 0789 408 7044.
