Heating Oil Security.

‘Well I’m John, without a Y – don’t see the point in that’. Fine – that told me.

Then he asked what work was needed and why. My turn, I thought. I asked why he was so interested. ‘Because I’m the boss’. And so we jested for a while. And then I found out, when I wrote the cheque, it was for John!

His dad is a lovely person, and I saw him with his arms around John in the digger teaching him to drive it, it really moved me. (not the digger!). And before he went he said ‘When can I come back?’ But his dad said ‘Don’t worry – school starts again tomorrow!

What a shame!

• Regularly check the oil level in the tank.

Note when you have a delivery.

• Install security lighting; this could be sensor or dusk-to-dawn lighting which will highlight the tank and area around it.

• Lock the tank using a good-quality padlock.

• Position tanks in a well-overlooked area.

• Consider fencing around the tank making it less visible.

Report any suspicious activity to the police immediately on 101 and in the case of an emergency dial 999. Officers at Holt can also provide more crime prevention advice including a crime prevention survey. Contact 101 or sntholt@norfolk.pnn.police.uk

Puzzle Be the last one in the room

When a 6.5 year-old and a 65 year-old get together...

Twelve people are arranged in a circle. We’ll number them 1 to 12 in order going I called in a contractor to work on my place clockwise. Start counting at number 1 until (after recently moving in) to remove you get to the fifth person in the circle, ie, dangerous containers, etc, that I had found on number 5. That person leaves the room. the property. He brought his son with him.

Repeat the process, starting with the next He is the 6.5 year-old person. I didn’t think he person (number 6 for the next round) until should be around the dangerous stuff, so I there is only one person left. Note that it’s found some frozen Mars bars and Coke and only people still in the circle that are counted lured him away. in each round.

Well; I got interviewed... ‘What’s your Question: Which position would you need name?’ I said ‘Jayne, with a Y in it’. He said to choose to be the last in the room?

From the Rectory The Rectory Matlaske NR11 7AQ 577455 (any day but Wednesdays) My dear friends If you didn’t manage to get to Hempstead Arts Exhibition & Sale you missed a really outstanding event. The exhibits were of a very high standard and showed just how much artistic talent we have hereabouts. Although the exhibition was for church funds it was doubly successful because there was so much help and support from the whole community.

It is good to see the Church and the wider Hempstead family creating such a wonderful combined effort. Heartfelt thanks to you all.

Our friends at St Michael’s, Plumstead celebrate their Patronal Festival with Choral Evensong on Sunday, 29th September at 4:30 pm. The preacher will be Her Majesty’s Chaplain of the Savoy. Do please come and swell the ranks; it will really encourage our very small but faithful congregation at St Michael’s.

Do you like singing? Nothing too ‘high folutin’! You Do. Then please give me a ring if you’d like to give it a try. The Advent Carols and the Christmas Carol Service will soon be upon us and we really could do with a few more voices. Go on! You’ll be made most welcome to join the Benefice Choir.

God bless you all 5

Bertie’s Ramblings interests me because the parish boundaries of Baconsthorpe, North Barningham and Bodham all meet in the centre. This suggests to me that it is a site of some antiquity and possibly importance. But I have hunted high and low and cannot discover anything about its history. Can anyone else do better? The three definitions at the top of the page I found by putting ‘Hell Hole’ into my search engine and the only other entry I could find was: ‘A tree-filled hole, possible an old quarry, situated at the exact junction of three parishes. People on Poor Law funds had to work in the parish quarry: they might have given it this name.’

Bertie Harmer

A place of extreme wretchedness or squalor; an unpleasant or evil place; a place totally lacking in comfort and cleanliness.

I think that sums up Baconsthorpe, North Barningham and Bodham perfectly don’t you? Before the Baconsthorpe, North Barningham and Bodham Klu Klux Klan start sharpening their sickles and putting on their hoods to come down here and indulge in a good ole little bit of lynching, I would like to make clear I am talking about Hell Hole.

Many of you will now be thinking: ‘What’s the old fool talking about?’ Patience. Hell Hole is a large and deep pit hole which

Geoff & Mary Wortley

Dolly Gee A large congregation of family and friends gathered at St Mary’s Church on 30th Aug 2013, for the funeral service of Dolly Gee who, before moving to Holt, had lived in the village for many years. In her younger days, as well as raising her family, Dolly worked in the local fruit fields picking strawberries, blackcurrants and gooseberries. Her baking skills were also in much demand in the wider community; especially the delicious cakes she made. Later she became assistant cook at the village school, until its closure in 1983. Before failing health prevented, Dolly was a keen member of the Carpet Bowls Club and was by all accounts an accomplished player. We send our condolences to Steven and Pat, Sally and Richard and their families.

After the Benefice Harvest Festival service held in the beautifully-decorated Baconsthorpe Church, there was a ‘farewell and thank you’ presentation to Geoff and Mary Wortley in the village hall. We are very grateful for all they have done in our community over the last 13 years and wish them well in their new home in Hampshire.

Selbrigg Pond Finally, after a few last-minute delays the piling work to replace Selbrigg Pond’s retaining wall is under way. The work is scheduled to last three months. A temporary access point has been created near to the public footpath bridge, but this will be removed and road bank restored at the end of the programme. The second phase, for which planning permission is about to be sought is the dredging of the pond itself. For this various habitat surveys have been conducted over the spring and summer. May I thank everyone for their understanding during this initial phase. Photos and further details are on Selbrigg.com website. FF

Resounding Success

them from the depths of degradation.’ The answer probably lies in the last paragraph of Halliwell’s quote above.

Hazel Flagg (Carol Lombard) thought to be dying of Radium poisoning is built up by Wally Cook (Frederic March) of the New York Morning Start and becomes a national heroine and is feted by New York. When the diagnosis turns out to be wrong all hell breaks loose. A film to be enjoyed by committed film buffs and historians perhaps! Bring back Jaques Tati.

Hempstead Arts Exhibition and Sale was an enjoyable and successful event. Thank you to everyone who came; those that helped with mounting the exhibition; and with the stewarding and refreshments. Particular thanks go to the artists who allowed us to share their varied work and helped us set up and run the event over the weekend. A big, big surprise is that, all together, over £1560 was raised for church funds.

Film Club Nothing Sacred: ‘Hollywood’s most bitter and hilarious satire with crazy comedy elements and superb wise cracks; an historical monument of screen comedy, though the freshness of the time can’t now be recaptured’ – Halliwell’s The re-screening of David Selznick’s film of Newspaper excess and cheap sensationalism here in Hempstead did not produce many laughs amongst the members (despite wine and Yvette’s wonderful cake).

Why, I wonder, was the reason for this? The answer, I suppose, is that we are looking at this with a 2013s gaze. Even the wise cracks seemed lame and heavy-handed. For instance, the doctor (Charles Winninger): ‘I’ll tell you briefly what I think of newspapermen: the hand of God, reaching down into the mire, couldn’t elevate one of
