The April Editorial is written by Rev. Dr Tim Weatherstone:

Is it not odd how we so easily forget events that were all-but earth shattering only a few years ago, but which have now drifted out of memory. I was told once of a fire in wartime in an important place in the city. Everybody locally formed a bucket chain and the fire brigade started to put out the fire, until one of the rescuers broke a door down and discovered a hidden food store. At that point everyone downed tools and let the place burn: the house holder had been hoarding an essential resource meant for all in wartime.

I remember my mother telling me how scary it was to live through the Cuba crisis and certainly in the 1970s in the Netherlands they were still testing our local air raid siren every week. I imagine many things we now think are utterly pivotal will similarly evaporate in the life times of our own children. All of which makes me fall back on things that really do last and are important in not just my time but across many ages. Our scriptures have this quality, and whilst I appreciate that many can’t agree and even I did not always think this way, as I get older and spend more time reading and studying them, they do have this timeless quality about them.

It being around the time of Easter once again, I am drawn back to the accounts of Christ’s resurrection; of how completely against what you’d expect, the least important in society were the ones chosen to witness it; of how something that took place in a small outpost of the Roman Empire, had been broadcast across it in less than a few decades, in an age without modern communications. It was that important to people, ordinary people and had such an enormous impact on their lives, everyday lives. Please may I wish you a very happy Easter and hope you may be able to share it with us.

‘Grand Service’ Reymerston church, Sunday May 12th, 11am: At this service we will welcome especially, Grandparents and Grandchildren. There will be special fun activities for children, songs, readings and refreshments. Look out for more details in the May Group News!

We very much welcome ideas to include in the artists design and as preliminary sketches are now being drawn, we ask for your input as soon as possible. We bear in mind that this is an agricultural area with a rich and diverse natural history. The stocks are a rare parish vestige of older days and customs and they, and other elements, which we may have overlooked, could be included. Please pass your ideas and opinions as soon as possible to Cranworth Parish Council, either to our parish clerk, Heidi Frary 01603 759215 [email protected] or to Beanie Brown 01362 820068 [email protected] or to any other parish councillor.

Quinquennials: The quinquennial (every five years) inspection of St Mary’s takes place this year.

Church Painting: Following the AGM of the PCC we are considering quotes to repaint the nave arch in order to brighten up the church.

Spring Clean: As the weather tempts us into thinking that winter is behind us, we are preparing to form a working party to tidy the churchyard in the spring. Dates and details to follow but please dust off your secateurs!

Welcome: We know you will join us in welcoming David and Sam to the village.

Rat Runs: The County Council Western Link consultation has closed, and the first indications are that route D is most popular which is good news for Carleton Forehoe. However, the Highways consultation on the dualling of the A47 will be the most important consultation to respond to and will dictate where the Western Link junction will go. BARNHAM BROOM Church yard working parties: A few volunteers have been working at the church yard on Tuesdays from 10 to 12am on various little projects. If you would like to join us please do come along even if only for the tea and company. We are very grateful to Richard Cheeseman for re-crafting the wooden bench in the church yard.

Quiz Night at Barnham Broom Village Hall, NR9 4BU organized by the Bells Appeal committee, continuing their work for the Barnham Broom Community: Please join us for a Quiz on Saturday April 27th raising funds for fencing around the children's play area. Doors open 7pm for a 7.30pm start. There will be a raffle, and tea or coffee will be available for a donation. Feel free to bring your own drinks and nibbles. Admission is £5 per person and tickets can be purchased in advance from Barnham Broom Post Office & Stores. Come along as a team of 6 or join with others to form a team on the night.

We are in the process of making plans to hold some sort of event with BBQ, refreshments and various stalls on the Playing Field. Ideas and offers of help would be welcome.

Please note we are also asking if anyone would like to hire the hall for classes or what you may like to have such as Zumba, yoga, Pilates etc. Please contact [email protected].

Barford, Wramplingham and District W.I February's meeting brought us ‘The Gal Tina’ whose lively combination of poems and anecdotes in the Norfolk dialect kept us all in stitches. On Valentine's Day we had a trip to the Theatre Royal to see Calendar Girls which definitely lived up to it's West End quality description. The speaker at our April meeting on the 9th will be Hazel Gillingham speaking about Millicent Garret Fawcett.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT SOLICITOR FOR YOUR CONVEYANCING

By Craig Ward, Spire Solicitors LLP- 01953 606351 Buying a house is a daunting prospect and will undoubtedly be the largest financial commitment that the majority of us will undertake in our lifetime. Home buying is also a very stressful time for all parties involved, so it is essential to choose the right conveyancing solicitor to support you throughout the process. When you are choosing your conveyancing solicitor, there are 5 key factors to consider, which we have summarised below:- Price – You should be cautious of firms who quote very low prices. It is more than likely that ‘hidden extras’ will have been omitted from their price and whilst it is tempting to choose a solicitor on price alone (especially when budgeting to buy a property) you should consider whether you will receive a service in line with your expectations. The cheapest solicitor is unlikely to be the most effective. Service – It is important to look at the level of service you will receive. We recommend that you ask lots of questions to find out the seniority of the person dealing with your file, how knowledgeable the staff are and the resources with which they have to work. Ask to speak with the person who would manage your property transaction to see if you are able to build a rapport. Location – Where your legal advisor is based is a vital consideration when choosing a solicitor. Whilst the majority of dealings can be conducted over the phone and email there is no substitution for a solicitor who has knowledge of the local area and is on hand to see you face-to-face to address any queries you may have. Qualifications – Solicitors who are able to demonstrate high standards of work, as tested by the Law Society are able to become part of the Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Firms who have achieved this level of recognition will show the CQS logo and you will tend to find that these firms are also on the majority of mortgage lender panels. Recommendation – If you have never used a solicitor before then a recommendation from a friend or family member is an excellent place to start, as well as being a good indicator of quality. You should also be able to find client testimonials posted on your solicitor’s website. Choosing the right conveyancing solicitor is something which requires thorough research and consideration. At Spire Solicitors LLP we pride ourselves as being able to provide a cost-efficient and personal service, combined with high levels of professionalism for all of our clients. We welcome any opportunity to speak with you regarding your conveyancing needs.

If you wish to discuss further please do not hesitate to get in touch on 01953 606351.
