40 years and still Idling!

Fulfilling an ambition is not always easy to achieve. Happily for Hadleigh, The Idler Bookshop did just that for Bryan and Jane Haylock some forty years ago. The couple were living in Hertfordshire with their two children. Jane was a member of the Anstey Parish Council while Bryan regularly commuted to London to work for an agency as a freelance artist designing posters for West End Theatre.

His studio was in Charing Cross Road at the heart of the London’s bookselling area. It was from there that he could see the booksellers sitting in their shops leisurely reading their stock while he was working to deadlines and anti-social hours to complete his last minute assignments. This made him even more determined to fulfil his lifelong ambition to join the bookselling fraternity. So in 1979 and with Jane’s full support, they set about finding a town where they could open their own bookshop. As Hadleigh ticked all the boxes, in 1980, The Idler, a transformed greengrocers, opened its doors to welcoming customers and the Haylocks became hard working members of the community. Their girls went to local schools.

Bryan became an active member of HADS (Hadleigh Amateur Dramatic Society) performing, directing and adapting plays for the stage. His cartoons in The Suffolk Preservation Society magazine and membership of the Hadleigh Art Club ensured that his artistic talents were not wasted. More recently he has illustrated the Fidelis Cookbook, his own books, several unique greetings cards and had an exhibition of his work at the Hadleigh Health Centre. His annual performance with friends at their “Untapped Writers” evening reveals his literary skills and unique sense of humour. His humorous take on life is also often reflected in his amusing window displays.

Rotary Review This is a short update on Club activity (or should it be inactivity!) during these strange times. Most members are self isolating due to health or age concerns but one or two are getting around, working from home or carrying out charitable work in the community. Efforts are being made to arrange club meetings via Zoom and when this is up and running it is hoped that maybe half the members will join in. Many local clubs are already using the system as are the District officers, Rotary in Britain and Rotary International.

Although fundraising is severely curtailed many clubs are using reserves and other ways to maintain donations to charitable organisations. Hadleigh Club is among these and members are donating the amount they would pay for a lunch meeting to the charitable fund. In this way help has already been given to Hadleigh Food Bank and funds are due to go to St Elizabeth Hospice and the Childrens Hospice (EACH). The Club will dispense further funds over the next few weeks to local charities whose funding has been seriously affected by the shutdown. We also understand that Hadleigh in Bloom is going ahead and the club will support the hanging basket scheme.

Further good news is that a new member has been accepted into the Club and hearty welcome is given to Graham Parker. So, the Club is still functioning and members are keeping in contact by telephone and email whilst trying to help the community as best we can.

If you wish to contact this Club on any matter either visit Rotary Club of Hadleigh website or ring David 01473 827226

40 years and still Idling!

Until recently, Jane had served as a town councillor for over thirty years. She is also a member of the Suffolk textile art group (TAGS) and regularly exhibited her work in the county. Thanks to her plants were secured and planted in the town’s Community Gardens. The Hadleigh Year of the Sheep and The Festival of Gardening and Art events also benefited from her input. Jane is a regular attendee at the monthly Steering Group Meetings.

Changing retail habits with online shopping has affected all walk in shops.

However, there are still customers who welcome the opportunity to browse round The Idler’s many shelves packed with hundreds of books covering every subject under the sun or find the perfect greeting card from their unusual selection. Online shopping also doesn’t offer a friendly exchange of opinions, a listening sympathetic ear, or the chance to buy a ticket for a local event. After 40 years Jane and Bryan feel their project has “developed as envisaged; working in a room surrounded by books with folks dropping in for a chat”.

Congratulations and thanks, Jane and Bryan, for your contribution to the business and social life of the town you chose forty years ago.

Do you know how to look after our countryside?

I'm Caz. In 2019, I founded Suffolk Outdoor Leaning. I had one purpose: to inspire children to learn about the countryside, whilst having fun. It's great to see families and their friends learn about insects, animals, and nature at our weekend workshops in the countryside.

However, in order to enjoy the countryside, we have to respect it. I always teach adults and children how important it is to tidy up the materials we use as part of our science, arts, and craft sessions. We make sure we close gates behind us, and we check for any litter before we leave. We are also respectful of any animals or insects we come across.

It is devastating to hear the recent news about the amount of litter people are leaving behind after outside parties and BBQs. It is not only damaging to the environment, but to insects, animals, and birds. It also ruins the countryside for others and sets a terrible example for the next generation. I want all children to be able to enjoy the countryside free of rubbish.

I grew up in the countryside at Upper Layham. We were taught the countryside code. You can read it in full here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/thecountryside-code. The main message is clear: respect the countryside and wildlife and make sure you clear any litter up.

Life is busy for families now. I know it's not always easy to teach children how to look after the countryside. Especially since families tend to spend less time in the countryside than they did in the past. I want to help you to teach your children the importance of looking after the environment, and the positive impact their actions can have.

Our Campaign: Let's teach our children to take excellent care of the countryside.

We know that children learn best when they are actively learning and having fun.

That's why we're opening up a competition to raise awareness of The Countryside Code.

The Competition: We challenge every child to create a poster that shows other people how the countryside should be treated. The poster can include anything and everything that your child loves about the countryside. We welcome lots of colours, different materials, and even words to describe what's happening in the poster.

Please send your posters, or photos of your posters to: suffolkoutdoorlearninguk@outlook.com or post onto the Facebook page Campaign to Educate on the Countryside Code

Stoke by Nayland Resort gearing up to re open in July with an important “Rest Reassured” message to customers

Forget me Not Ho m e S e r v ic es L td

www.forgetmenothomeservices.co.uk Registered with the Care Quality Commission RGP1-446090451

Al Fresco Afternoon Tea on the terrace at Stoke by Nayland Hotel After a long period of lock down which began at the end of March, the team at the family-owned Stoke by Nayland Hotel, Golf, Spa & Lodges resort is preparing to be fully up and running again in July, with the final date subject to Government guidelines.

The award-winning venue has been busy since lockdown running its Pippin Grocery Store business – now also online - selling on site as well as delivering much needed groceries, ready meals, afternoon teas and fresh produce to local villages.

The two championship golf courses also re opened last month and are now welcoming golfers who were desperate to escape their lockdown and get back out into this stunning Suffolk countryside to meet up with their friends and practice their swings again. A mobile buggy has been supplying them with cold drinks on the course, but golfers have not been able to enjoy their usual beer and a meal or snack after their rounds as the clubhouse has been closed.

This will all change from 4th July when the newly branded “Sports Bar at SbN” will be opening to serve golfers and visitors both al fresco on the terraces and inside the Bar, with strict social distancing measures in place of course.

For the hotel, lodges and restaurants there has been a huge amount of preparation undertaken during the lockdown months to gear the facilities up to welcome customers back – and to open these areas as soon as the government guidelines allow. A survey has recently been carried out by the hotel and many procedures have been adopted based on the responses from over 2,500 existing and potential customers.

Commercial Director, Peter Osborne said: “We were amazed at the enthusiastic response to our survey and at how keen so many of our customers are to return to Stoke by Nayland as soon as they are permitted to do so by the government.

We’ve put a wide range of strict hygiene and social distancing procedures in place and introduced the “Rest Reassured” logo and theme around the resort. This is to ensure that our customers can feel confident about being able to relax in a safe environment, and really enjoy their visit - whether it is for golf, dining, spa treatments or simply to escape to beautiful Constable Country for a much needed hotel break. Details of these procedures can be found on our webpage at www.stokebynayland.com/restreassured.

We are all really looking forward to welcoming customers back to Stoke by Nayland to enjoy at least some of the summer this year.”

Babergh District Council today approved outline planning permission for 64 homes in Boxford â&#x20AC;&#x201C; bringing a raft of community benefits including 22 affordable homes and five acres of public open space. Applicant Catesby Development Land Limited sought permission for the development of land to the East of Sand Hill, with a site visit carried out by planning committee members in September 2019 This followed a previous proposal for 80 properties to be built at the same location, which was rejected by the councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planning committee last autumn. Members refused on the grounds of the development being unable to meet local policies on various counts - including failing to meet a community need to develop outside the settlement boundary. In response to that resolution, the applicant made changes to the plans to address concerns raised, with a new proposal for 64 homes being submitted in January 2020.

The amended plans came back to todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planning committee meeting, held virtually to ensure public safety during the current coronavirus outbreak. Following input from planning officers, the applicant, objectors and supporters - and subsequent debate - the committee voted by seven to three in favour of approving the recommendation that outline planning permission be granted, subject to conditions. The development will benefit from 22 affordable homes and the provision of land for a community building. Plans also include additional woodland planting and a substantial public open space - part of which is earmarked for a new community play area.

Cllr Peter Beer, Chairman of Babergh District Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planning committee said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our decision was not an easy one to reach as this was a finely balanced application, met with some opposition from the local community. However, after much deliberation we believe the extensive benefits of the proposals outweighs any potential harm, provided the applicant meets the conditions set out today.

"This development will offer much-needed affordable housing within the district and allow for public open space totalling over five acres - ensuring our commitment to bright and healthy futures for our communities is met.â&#x20AC;?

Also during the meeting, the committee approved outline planning permission, subject to conditions, for a development of 28 new properties in Great Green, Cockfield. Plans for the site significantly evolved following discussions between Cockfield Parish Council and developer The Sudbury Group Limited to achieve an amicable outcome for the local community - and include 11 affordable homes and a centrally located public open space.

Zor Boutique ready for summer!

With the current gorgeous weather we have been ordering plenty of summer clothing in many different colourways. The lime green pieces (pictured) have been very popular with our customers as they can be paired with white trousers for a stylish summer look. We have also seen an increase in customers purchasing many styles of linen and cotton items which are perfect for the warmer weather as they are breathable, lightweight and cool. We have just received a large order of fair trade wooden and resin jewellery. These pieces are handmade by families in Indonesia and are sure to make a statement. One of my favourites has to be the grey and green drop wooden necklace as this can be worn over almost anything to add a splash of colour.

We would like to say a massive thankyou to all of our returning customers for their support. Since we have reopened it has been lovely to see some familiar and new faces. For those of you that are staying at home, remember we have our all new website which has over 400 products available to purchase with free delivery. www.zoronline.com 07969 525859 www.zoronline.com zoronline.sales@gmail.com Kersey Mill, Stone Street IP7 6DP Open Mon-Sat 10am to 4.30pm

Funding boost of nearly ÂŁ300,000 for Babergh communities

BESPOKE HOME BUILDING EXTENSIONS RENOVATIONS PROJECT MANAGEMENT

01473 845 945 contact@mjarrald.co.uk www.mjarrald.co.uk

Communities are set to receive funding totalling ÂŁ299,000 for local projects, including the regeneration of St Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Sudbury, a community venue in Chelsworth and play area in Newton. Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) is collected from developers when they build new properties in Babergh, with the aim of ensuring local infrastructure keeps pace with housing growth.

Babergh District Council today approved CIL funding of ÂŁ75,000 for St Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Sudbury â&#x20AC;&#x201C; supporting the ambitious regeneration project to transform the church into a cultural hub for activities and events in the heart of Sudbury. Plans include accessible facilities, including disabled lift access to a mezzanine gallery, ensuring the project is of benefit to the whole community.

The project helps to preserve the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history, cementing the building as a cultural asset for years to come, as well as complementing nearby visitor attractions such as Gainsboroughâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s House and the Quay Theatre.

The regeneration of St Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is a key part of the future vision for Sudbury, which sees Babergh District Council working with partners to aid the economic recovery and growth of this key market town. Cllr Clive Arthey, Babergh District Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cabinet Member for Planning, said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is an exciting project, for both the community and visitors alike, at a time when revitalising our town centres is more important than ever. Our significant contribution demonstrates our councilsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; continued commitment to investing heavily in Sudbury â&#x20AC;&#x201C; developing opportunities for visitors, businesses and the local community as part of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Sudbury Vision.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am delighted that this round of funding will also enable Chelsworth, one of our smaller villages, to provide a unique and special venue in its historic church. â&#x20AC;&#x153;CIL monies continue to make a real difference to residents in Babergh â&#x20AC;&#x201C; delivering the facilities needed for our communities to thrive both now and in the future, whilst also preserving our districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rich heritage and culture.â&#x20AC;?

Allison Burke, Development Officer for Churches Conservation Trust said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would like to thank Babergh District Council for playing a key role in this regeneration project â&#x20AC;&#x201C; by approving our CIL bid, as well as an additional ÂŁ100,000 in grant funding. We are also immensely grateful for the ongoing support from the council with our bid for further project funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund, helping us to realise our vision for the church and wider community.â&#x20AC;? With CIL funding of ÂŁ136,244 approved, work can now also begin on improvements to All Saints Church, Chelsworth. At a total estimated cost of ÂŁ263,000, the project is set to create a vital venue in the village, accommodating the majority of community events, due to the village hall only being suitable for light use. The proposed works will provide new facilities, as well as allowing for floorspace to be maximised, enhancing the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s use to include educational and historic learning opportunities. Also successful in this spending round was the village of Newton, which receives nearly ÂŁ88,000 towards a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s play area and multiuse games area - supporting the councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ambition for bright and healthy futures for its residents. An additional ÂŁ25,000 in grants has been contributed by the council, whilst Newton Parish Council has pledged ÂŁ20,000 towards the project.

District CIL is income retained by the district council to spend on infrastructure to support development. This money must be applied for and the decision to spend amounts above a certain level has to be taken by Cabinet.

Further information about how the CIL works can be found on the councils website, with details about how the levy has been allocated available on the councilsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; award-winning Developer Contributions Database.

Jonathan Lambert, Bespoke Jeweller and Goldsmiths, have fully re-opened after the coronavirus lockdown and are once again offering their full range of jewellery services The award-winning business, which is located next to the iconic Swan Hotel, has an enviable reputation for bespoke jewellery, repairs and antique jewellery restoration. The business, which is run by husband and wife team, Jonathan and Yasmin Lambert can between them boast over 60 years combined experience. Six decades of experience in jewellery design and manufacture is nothing compared with the six generations of the family who have made their living at the jeweller’s bench.

Francis Lambert began his apprenticeship in 1795 and the Lambert family have been goldsmiths and silversmiths ever since.

Yasmin, has a 1st Class Honours degree in Jewellery Design from Central St Martins and spent 7 years as a jewellery designer for Garrards, the then Crown Jewellers. She has designed jewellery for a host of celebrities and of course our own royal family. One of her most recent commissions was an exclusive collection of jewellery for the Royal Collection Trust.

Jonathan, was the youngest ever Chairman of The National Association of Goldsmiths and is also a past Chairman of the Institute of Registered Valuers. He is a Freeman of the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths and a Freeman of the City of London. He has followed in family tradition and continues to repair, restore and maintain civic and livery regalia for a number of councils and city livery companies. Together, the couple can offer the full range of jewellery services, from intricate bespoke commissions to the careful restoration of family heirlooms. They have an extensive range of beautiful jewellery suitable for any occasion and are always happy to help and advise.

Stour Valley U3A Stour Valley U3A has set up a number of support systems for members during the coronavirus pandemic. These include dedicated helplines for those self-isolating in East Bergholt/Manningtree/Mistley/Lawford to help with basic needs such as food shopping and prescription collection. A general support group for members is also available for those living in East Bergholt. Lectures for July August and September are cancelled. We are awaiting details of how permitted “small group” activities may allow some of our interest groups to resume.

Curry group members enjoyed a spicy takeaway in June courtesy of members able to undertake the task instead of the usual monthly outing. Zoom is taking off with a number of groups including science, french conversation and philosophy continuing their activities using the video-conferencing platform. Never too old to learn! Newsletter circulated each month to all members keeping them informed of news and updates.

This advert is funded by the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) for the purpose of assisting James Cartlidge MP in the performance of his Parliamentary duties. Printed by Keith Avis Printers, 68 High Street, Hadleigh, Ipswich IP7 5EF

James Cartlidge writes Member of Parliament for South Suffolk It seems like such a short time since we went into full scale lockdown with the instruction to ‘stay at home’. Yes, we must all stay alert to the risk of new outbreaks but it is striking that at the time of writing new cases of people testing positive for Covid in Suffolk have dropped very substantially, and the national alert level has been shifted to three – i.e. lowering the pandemic threat. Importantly, this shift is starting to translate into real change, as we emerge cautiously from lockdown.

A key moment occurred in mid-June, as non-essential retail businesses reopened for the first time since lockdown. If we can shop in supermarkets, we can now get out and support our smaller shops, so important not just to the local economy but also to our sense of community. By July, we may even start to see some relaxation of the rules around hospitality, with the possibility of visiting pubs and restaurants outside. Personally, the most significant feeling of the tide turning away from lockdown was when I took three of my four children on the school run for the first time in months, seeing for myself the changes being implemented to follow public health guidelines in the classroom. That said, I am aware that many parents will not have been able to send their children back so I was delighted that the Government has announced a £1bn fund for catch-up resources ahead of the September term, including funding for tutoring our most disadvantaged pupils.

I have also joined others in returning physically to work after two months in the home office environment, and have enjoyed being back in Westminster, even though we’ve also had to adapt our workplace – but this makes us no different to thousands of others rearranging their usual habits to cope with Covid. Zoos have reopened; top level sport is back (but behind closed doors).

We will have many more challenges ahead of us, both economically, and in terms of the lingering threat of further outbreaks. But it is heartening that we can start hoping for better days to come.

Wills and that Virus Like many businesses, we have to change the way we work while the pandemic continues. The Will Business has a significant number of elderly clients, and we would not wish to put them at additional risk by disregarding government advice and visiting them in their homes. For this reason we are suspending all visits to clients, including any to hospitals and care homes. But, we shall continue to help clients by writing wills and lasting powers of attorney.

We simply need to hold a consultation, which can easily be done through: ● Pre-booked conference telephone calls. ● Skype meetings (if the client has access to that facility). ● Email. ● Correspondence via Royal Mail.

We will lead clients through a short check list of information to assist our drafting of the documents. This will also give us the ‘knowledge’ to play an active part in making sure that the documents deal fully with what is needed.

Signature copies of wills will be posted to clients with very clear instructions on how they are to be completed and a return envelope. We will then check them and forward them for complimentary storage in the fireproof safe at our associates, Christchurch Solicitors in Ipswich.

Aside from the problems caused by Covid-19 the very good news at The Will Business is that Trevor Dodwell has been joined by his elder daughter, Juliet Dearlove, also a solicitor, but with a relatively modest 27 years since admission.

‘We have never been so busy, and Juliet has arrived at just the right time. She tells me it’s the 21st century’.

We are looking forward to a time when we can get back to normal service with those popular home visits. Meanwhile, for anyone who is stuck at home and finding that time is dragging, it may be just the moment to start dealing with that long delayed will or lasting power of attorney!

I’m sure anybody with young children in their families has heard of the Wonky Donkey.

Have you ever heard of the Phoney Pony? It’s an animal with a two meter neck. This is the creature that would enable us to get back to work, if we had it. Our umbrella organisation has come up with a cunning plan for riders to start getting back in the saddle. Social distancing dictates that the pony leader is 2 meters away from the rider up behind in the saddle. If a side walker is required (often in our case) it has to be a member of the rider’s household. After every ride all the tack has to be disinfected. (Not sure about the ponies themselves) With our client base and our special volunteer army, the logistics of keeping everyone we love safe and disinfected become unworkable here so at present I’m sad to say we remain closed. However the RDA is busy keeping our riders engaged. The RDA website, not ours, has plenty of downloadable material for the riders: games, courses, competitions and news.

If you want something to smile about, watch the film of our members doing Hobby Horse Dressage on YouTube.

RDA National ran a dressage competition for people using hobby-horses; they were filmed in their own homes.

Some dressed up very smartly indeed, a la the real event. They paid an entry fee, begged sponsorship and amazingly raised almost £2000. Coupled with the auction of the smartest ever hobby-horse called Valegro II (pictured) a one legged replica of Charlotte Dujardin’s famous Olympian winner, (pictured together) they sent nearly £4K to the NHS Charities Together Covid-19 appeal. What a brilliant effort!

Our life here continues very happily. Lyn has had to order more hay for the bigger animals as the grass is so sunburnt. She has opened up all the fields for the two separate herds to enjoy roaming and they are loving the extra space. The little ponies get brushed and petted once a week; the bigger ones get ridden at least twice a week each, the team of able bodied helpers sees to their welfare, as does the farrier, so thank you everyone. Our grounds have never looked so fantastic, thanks to the wonderful efforts of Saul, a regular and very necessary helper in charge of the maintenance. What I miss is the comforting hub bub in the yard outside my door when the horses are ‘in’ and the Centre is getting ready for its clients to arrive. As I write the rain has begun to fall on our very dry county. Lets hope there is more good news to celebrate in your lives, dear readers; keep busy and well and don’t forget to WASH YOUR HANDS !!!!

Hadleigh Library re-opening

For Quality & Personal Service FENSA from Start to Finish

As you may have already heard, many of our libraries in Suffolk will be starting to re-open again from 6th July, 2020. But, as with all businesses and services, things will be rather different for a while. As librarians, we have very much missed our customers, and as glad as we have been that we our sister libraries and Suffolk Libraries as a whole have been able to keep providing many useful and entertaining services over the last many weeks, it has of course, not been the same. But neither will it be the same for a while. The safety of our customers and staff is paramount and for this reason, the physical service will be a limited one to start with and thought-through safety measures will be put in place. Keep an eye on the Suffolk Libraries website for continued updates, and also your local library social media pages, but a few changes will include: no browsing or using of PCs and no reservations - but customers will be able to phone for a selection of titles for collection at a pre-arranged date.

We ask that you please be patient and understanding of these measures. Trust me, we look forward to the day when everything can get back to where we were, but until then, we will continue to review the services we can provide but will only ever do what we feel is best for the health and safety of our customers and our staff. Alongside our gradual re-opening there will continue to be all the services, events and activities on line that we have been making sure are there for you.

We very much look forward to seeing people again - if only at a distance.

Keep safe and keep in touch.

Our web site is also a source of lots of useful information for anyone who has lost a loved one.

This can be found at www.suffolkbereavement.org.uk and amongst other things explains the importance of expressing feelings appropriately so that they are not suppressed in such a way that they lead to more deep seated physical and emotional difficulties.

News from Whatfield CEVCP School Whatfield CEVCP School was so proud to celebrate its’ 160th anniversary early in March. To mark the event children were invited to dress in Victorian Clothing and spent all day working as Victorian children would have. The boys were addressed by their surnames and all the children were treated formally for the morning! The day included; spellings, handwriting, timestables and drill. In the afternoon more practical subjects like gardening, washing and sewing took place. Play and lunchtime involved hoops, skipping ropes and hopscotch. It’s difficult to say who enjoyed the day more, the teachers or the pupils!

School ran differently again over the lockdown period, and although Whatfield school building has been closed, staff pooled resources at Bildeston, to provide care for key workers’ and vulnerable pupils across our federation and beyond.

On Tuesday 2nd June we re-opened our doors under government guidelines for our children in Reception, year 1 and Year 6. The school day is now very different to how it was pre- lockdown. Children come in to school on staggered start times and we currently have 3 pods. A pod is the term we use throughout the school to describe how children are grouped. Each pod is no bigger than 15 children and they are taught in the same pod for the duration of the school week. Each of our pods is socially distanced from other pods as far as possible.

During the school day our children are reminded about the importance of distancing and regular handwashing, our younger children in particular watch the NHS handwashing song as part of their first activities of the day.

We are very fortunate to have such lovely outdoor space which has certainly aided us in our bid to keep our children and staff safe. Each day we have ‘circle time’ outside (whether permitting) where children can discuss anything that worries us or how we can help others. Even with all the changes in place the children have transitioned in to the new school environment exceptionally well.

We always have lots of exciting activities to look forward to, and as ever, if you would like to have a look on our website or follow us on twitter you can keep up with what we are doing.

Unfortunately we are not able to welcome you to visit our lovely school at present, but hopefully will be able to do so later in the year.

Please do telephone 01473 823 309 or email admin@whatfield.suffolk.sch.uk to make an arrangement to speak to us about joining our school community.

Safety is top priority as The Hearing Care Centre re-opens services in Hadleigh Physiotherapy • Clinical Pilates • Reflexology • Pelvic & Women’’ss Health Physio • Acupuncture • Sp Sports orts & Swedish Massage • Respiratory & Paediatrric Physio • The MummyMOT OT

As it begins to re-open its services after lockdown local hearing care specialists The Hearing Care Centre have a very clear message to anyone needing support with their hearing “Your safety is our priority”. The company which offers audiology services from the Health by Design centre has 27 centres spread across Suffolk and Norfolk. Audiologist Karen Finch, founder of the company said “Following the comprehensive COVID-19 joint guidance from the UK's audiology professional bodies, we have examined every single aspect of how we deliver our service to ensure that we can do so safely as we move forward. This has taken weeks of work and preparation but we are now totally confident that we can offer you the support you need in a safe way.”

Karen added “The most satisfying part of being able to re-open for care is knowing that we offer a valuable and much needed service. The relief for patients after receiving our help and treatment has been overwhelming and emotional.

“It is great to once again be able to offer services in Hadleigh and we are saying if you have discovered during lockdown you need support with your hearing, please don’t let hearing loss prolong your isolation. We are here for you.”

We are all experiencing challenging times, times that we have never faced before but what it is has revealed that within each of us we have the ability to cope and help others. There have been many acts of extreme kindness to help those who have been in isolation with shopping, telephone contact and many other everyday tasks that we do without thinking about. The dedication of doctors, nurses and all NHS staff, supermarket staff, postmen/ladies, the bin men, the list goes on and on, they all deserve a big thank you.

We, the healers, have not been able to have face to face contact with the people who seek our help but we have been sending out our thoughts to those who are feeling so unsettled by life . As soon as we are able to the Hadleigh Healing Society will open our doors and welcome anybody that feels the need to have that time to talk with one of our qualified, registered healers, in the strictest confidence.

Meanwhile, our healing thoughts are with you to keep you safe. Take care, keep safe.

Hadleigh Hairloom intend to re-open on 4th July Following government guidelines on personal service and hospitality businesses re-opening, it is our intention to re-open on 4th July 2020. Changes will have to be put in place and these will temporarily limit our capacity and therefore our output. In order to alleviate this we will be temporarily extending our business hours to start at around 8.30 in the mornings, continuing on to 6.00pm Monday, Wednesday and Friday. 7.00pm on Tuesdays, 8.00pm Thursday and 5.00pm on Saturday. These hours will be in place for the first 4 weeks of opening.

As usual we will take appointments for chemical work (perms, colours etc.,) but until or unless government legislation dictates we will remain as a predominantly walk in establishment. Please adhere to the guidance as far as you possibly can.

Like yourselves, we cannot wait until things get back to a normality we can recognise, but while the restrictions are in place please be patient and understanding. Below are the measures we have had to implement: ● Only people having a service in the salon will be admitted (unless a care giver is required). ● There will be a maximum of 3 people in the waiting area. If you have to wait in the waiting area please do not sit near another person. ● Please wait outside the door until there is enough space for you to be in the building safely. ● Please use the hand-sanitizer before continuing through to either the waiting area or directly to your stylist. ● We are happy for you to wear a face mask but please be aware that there will be times when they will have to be released from around the ears in order for us to be able to carry out our job. For your protection, we will be wearing masks. ● At this time we cannot offer refreshment or toilet facilities. If you bring anything into the salon (magazines/refreshements/food) you MUST take the remains with you when you leave. You may put any debris in the bin outside the salon. ● When making payment at the desk please stand well back until the desk is vacated by other clients. Payment by card is preferred. ● At all times you must adhere to the government guidelines and stay as far away from another person who is not of your household.

We hope every one of you has remained well and that we see as many of you as we can get to as efficiently as possible.

The photo this month shows the seedhead of the wildflower goatsbeard, several of them have reappeared by the pond and in the wildlife wildlife area of the garden this summer after being absent for a few years, maybe they like the weather conditions we've had so far this year. It grows up to two feet high and has narrow grassy leaves and dandelion-like flowers, the seedheads are about twice the size of a dandelion's and quite impressive at close quarters, the flowers only open out in the morning hence its common name 'Jack-go-to-bed-atnoon'. The virtual Hidden Gardens of Hadleigh event was well supported this year and I hear that over £800 has been raised so far to support St.Mary's church which is very good news. I know many people enjoy open garden events and shows and will be missing them this year, however the RHS has a couple of web pages where you can take a virtual visit, go to - 'rhs.org.uk/gardens' and 'rhs.org.uk/chelsea', the National Open Gardens Scheme also has virtual video tours.

A little closer to home the Grundisburgh, Burgh and Culpho horticultural society is holding a virtual show this year where you can enter classes online, just go to 'www.grundisburgh.show' and press the 'virtual village show button', you'll have to be quick as entries must be in by July 4th, so hopefully this will be out in time. I have to go now and take a photo for the 'veg disaster' class - so little time so much to choose from!

Sadly the ongoing situation means that Hadleigh garden club is not able to have its usual monthly meetings or visits but you can find out all about our programme for 2020/2021 by visiting the website 'visithadleighsuffolk.co.uk', just go to the 'What's On' page where you will find month by month details of what is happening.

We usually meet on the second Monday of the month at 7.30 pm at Hadleigh Town Hall and we are always happy to welcome visitors. hadleighgardenclub@gmail.com

Hadleigh in Bloom Given the pressures on our High Street businesses this year, I did not feel it was fair to ask them to pay for their hanging baskets, as in previous years. However, I still desperately wanted to put them up - not only to brighten up our beautiful High Street, but also as a sign of hope for the future and instill some sense of normality!

I also know that they bring a great deal of joy to many residents and visitors...

Therefore, I would like to take this opportunity to say a huge THANK YOU to the following for their financial support: Hadleigh Legacy Trust; Hadleigh & District Garden Club; Aldham Common Charity; Hadleigh Rotary Club; Suffolk County Council; Plant Parts; and a number of very generous donations form private individuals and High Street businesses, all of whom have helped raise nearly £4000 to cover the costs of the hanging baskets this year.

Hadleigh’s Hidden Gardens in Suffolk go virtual!

For the first and, hopefully only time, we couldn’t open our wonderful gardens this year. However, a mere pandemic didn’t stop us inviting our enthusiastic gardeners to send in a competition photograph.

We switched to a virtual show on the Friday before lockdown, one of the first in the country, and ahead of the Chelsea Flower Show!

An amazing 77 People’s Choice Best Garden 2020 gardeners responded, Helen Norman, photo number 12 well over twice the number of gardens opened in a normal year, entries ranged from large to courtyard gardens, and from manicured to wildlife gardens.

It’s a very popular event every year, attracting hundreds of locals and visitors to raise money towards the upkeep of our magnificent late 13th century St Mary’s Church and the 15th century Deanery Tower.

As well as committee choices for the best garden and best wildlife garden, we invited the public to vote for the Peoples’ Choice for best garden.

279 voted, including voters from the USA and Canada, putting it on a par with voting levels in recent town council elections! You can view all the garden photos on hadleighgardens.co.uk, and when you see them you’ll understand how difficult it was to select winners.

While the sum raised this year is inevitably Benton Iris Best Wildlife Garden less than usual, when hundreds of people 2020 – Patricia Newton, photo tour our old historic wool town to visit the number 16 gardens, we have still achieved £1627.80 so far, thanks to everybody’s generosity.

The three co-chairs, Ian Grutchfield, Gale Pryor and Louise Chambury said, “We are pleased so many people took part – gardening has kept our spirits up during confinement, and we appreciate all the generous donations that will help repair the roof of St Mary’s Church.” Ian Grutchfield added, “Next year we hope to stage the Benton Iris Best Garden 2020 real open gardens event Liz Turnbull, photo number 5 on Saturday 22 May 2021, so please put it in your diary. You’ll be able to actually smell the roses when we welcome you in to the Hidden Gardens of Hadleigh.”

As we cannot hold our annual Open Day this July, join me on a socially distanced, virtual stroll around my estate. The garden looks lovely thanks to Jeanette, in fact here she comes with a wheelbarrow full of hedge clippings. Some of the animals at SESAW, like me, are permanent residents including Bob, the Kune Kune pig. Give his head a rub as you pass by. Next is the rabbit shed where some pretty bunnies munch hay and wait to be homed. Beyond the ducks on the pond, Michelle crosses the field with buckets of food, hotly pursued by the sheep and goats.

Can you hear Dicky Dove cooing? He's been with us for years. Although he cannot fly he is in lovely condition. Close the door of Ruggs Cottage quietly so we don’t disturb a young mum suckling her little family.

So that’s why Mum said we need kitten food. Ollie is sunbathing on the roof, lord of all he surveys. How does that cat manage to look so superior all the time?

Don’t leave without browsing the bookcase by the gate which Dawn replenishes regularly but wait a minute, people are here by prior appointment so keep you two metre distance. Our talented volunteers have been busy making Rainbow of Hope car hangings and excellent quality washable masks for adults and children which are selling like hot cakes. Jayne takes orders on 07720 079370 and collection slots are booked to keep everyone safe.

I hope you enjoyed the ‘tour’ and look forward to the day you can visit us in person and meet me, Kenny (the Boss) Chihuahua.

Citizens Advice Sudbury & District In more normal times I do a lot to help my elderly mum, like picking up shopping, sorting out her finances, making important calls and organising her post. But, unfortunately with lockdown in place I’m not able to see her as frequently, and though I’ve still been able to drop off her shopping, I’m no longer able to help her with the other things. I’m particularly worried about how much I’ve read about scammers at the moment, and I wondered whether there’s anything I can do from a distance to help protect my mum?

There are a few steps you can take from a distance to keep your mother safe and lessen your need to worry. With your mother’s permission you can register her landline with the Telephone Preference Service. It’s free to register and doing so will reduce the amount of unwanted sales and marketing calls you receive. This won’t block all unwanted calls (it won’t work on calls from abroad or companies she’s given her number to already, for example), so your mother will need to continue to remain vigilant, but it’ll certainly lessen the number of them.

You can encourage your mother to talk to her phone provider to see what privacy services and call-blocking services are available. These services aren’t always free but are useful in ensuring any call coming through is from a trusted or known source.

In terms of unwanted post, with your mother’s permission you can contact the Mailing Preference Service to have her name removed from any marketing lists.

You can also contact Royal Mail and opt out of receiving any leaflets or unaddressed promotional material. Attaching a ‘no junk mail’ sign to her front door may also help with this.

When it comes to your mother’s finances, if you supply an organisation with a letter of authority from the account holder, this may allow you speak to them on her behalf. This may not always be accepted, so if you find yourself needing to take over your mother’s finances in the future, it’s worth looking into a long-term solution like a Power of Attorney.

It’s also vital that you chat to your mother to help her spot the marks of a scam herself. At Citizens Advice we always advise the following: ● Be suspicious if you’re contacted out of the blue, even if it’s from a name you recognise ● If it sounds too good to be true it probably is ● Never give out your bank details unless you are certain you can trust the person contacting you ● Don’t be rushed – you never need to make a decision straight away and if you feel pressured say “no”, hang up the phone, or close the door.

Lastly, if your mother is receiving care from her local authority and you think she might be being scammed, it’s worth reporting your concerns to their Adult Safeguarding team.

If you need help or information about a problem, you can telephone Sudbury & District Citizens Advice on 01787 321400 (answerphone) leave a message and someone will call you back. Alternatively, telephone Suffolk Adviceline on 0300 330 1151 from Monday to Thursday between 10am and 3pm or the national Adviceline on 03444 111 444 from Monday to Friday between 9am and 5pm.

Hadleigh & Boxford Patient Participation Group Seeing your GP has never been easier!

Almost overnight, the Covid-19 lockdown completely transformed the way GP surgeries work. Face-to-face appointments have been replaced by telephone consultations and video calls so patients can stay at home, and those who need further assessment can come in safely without having to sit around in a busy waiting room. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worked! People who have been putting off contacting the doctor should call the surgery now. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably never been easier to get a consultation and patients, particularly older ones, will find it very convenient. As the lockdown eases and we begin to move about more, the message is this: if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been putting it off, call your GP. There has never been a more important time to take control of your health.

So here is a five-point plan on how you can do just thatâ&#x20AC;Ś 1. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to get tech-savvy To access the doctor online, you should get up-to-speed with how things are working at your practice. The key thing is to make sure you get to grips with everything now, before you have an urgent health problem. Check the surgeryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website, where you will be able to find lots of information. https://www.hadleighhealth.co.uk/news. Video consultations between GPs and their patients have taken off during the lockdown.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no need to be intimidated by them. All you need is a smartphone or a tablet with a camera. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be sent a link to click, which will connect you to your GP. Anyone who has a health problem that canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be dealt with virtually can still, of course, come in for a further assessment. The surgery is still very much open for business.

2. Book that medication review It has become increasingly apparent that people with underlying health conditions are most likely to be affected by Covid-19. High blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease are known to increase the risk of being seriously unwell. Poorly controlled asthma is also a known risk factor. If you have a chronic health condition, now is the time to contact your doctor. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put off that medication review or check-up any longer. We can help you get your health into the best shape it can be.

3. Stock up on health essentials Panic-buyers cleared supermarkets and pharmacy shelves when the pandemic first struck â&#x20AC;&#x201C;paracetamol turned into gold dust overnight and many people who did need painkillers were unable to get hold of them. Now is the time to avoid the same thing from happening. Most people who get Covid-19 can manage their illness at home. So think now about what you might need. Paracetamol for adults and children, anti-inflammatories and antihistamines are a good start. Some early reports advised patients to buy a thermometer, a blood pressure machine and an oxygen monitor as well as stocking up on essentials such as paracetamol. This sparked more panic-buying but these products are becoming available again.

At the very least get yourself a thermometer - a high temperature can be a sign of Covid-19 - and you could consider buying a blood pressure machine. In fact, blood pressure readings taken at home can be more reliable, as the stress of having it taken in surgery can cause it to rise unnaturally.

You may also want to look at buying the oxygen monitor or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;oximeter. This device tells you your oxygen level in the blood and could indicate if you are becoming seriously unwell with Covid-19.

4. Take a Vitamin D supplement Official advice suggests we all take Vitamin D supplements during the winter, as many of us are deficient. Keep on doing so, even as we move into summer.

Vitamin D is activated in our bodies in response to sun exposure on the skin.

During the winter, when we get less sunlight, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard for our bodies to get enough activated vitamin D. The same is likely to be true for people who are shielding or self-isolating at the moment. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a worry, because Vitamin D has a really important role in helping our immune system to function as well as it can.

5. Get used to covering up The government also told the public that they must wear face coverings in order to use public transport and is also recommending we all wear face coverings in enclosed public spaces.

These face coverings should cover the mouth and nose while allowing the wearer to breathe comfortably and can be as simple as a scarf or bandanna that ties behind the head to give a snug fit.

As the NHS reopens right across the country, it is critically important to stop the spread amongst staff, patients and visitors too. So, all hospital visitors and outpatients will need to wear face coverings.

It is also mandatory for those attending GP surgeries to wear a face covering or non-surgical mask.

As many as eight in ten people have Covid-19 without any symptoms. Wearing a face covering will stop you spreading it to other people, if you unknowingly have it. Making your own saves precious supplies of medical masks for the doctors and nurses who need them most. The most important thing is to get a face covering you feel comfortable with.

They do feel hot and take a bit of getting used to. But they are part of the new normal as we wait for a vaccine. Ack: Dr Ellie Cannon Information is available on the Practice website: https://www.hadleighhealth.co.uk/news/face-masks-and-face-coverings
