From the Rectory, Revd Mandy writes about …..
Disagreeing Well - By the time you read this, we will have a new Prime Minister in No 10 or maybe he will have come and gone who knows! Let’s just rewind a little to May, I think it was around the 25th…….“I will shortly leave the job it has been the honour of my life to hold…I do so with no ill will, but with enormous and enduring gratitude to have had the opportunity to serve the country I love.”
The final words of Theresa May. Her voice broke at the end. It was clear how much this whole debacle has cost her personally. It’s easy to criticise and find fault…and I encourage you as Christians (or not) to pray for Mrs May and our new Prime Minister. Mrs May had strength of character, resilience and determination, but left office with a crushing sense of personal disappointment and failure. She gave her all, and tried her best, but so soon after being welcomed, she ran up against a total lack of willingness in those around her to compromise and find a way forward, to communicate respectfully although disagreeing. Mrs May tried, but in the end, it was not enough. She failed to find a compromise. Disagreeing well is hard, but not impossible. Any failure to disagree well will see both our politics and our relationships suffer as a result. Giving way, making more effort to open hearts and minds, learning to compromise and above all accepting we can disagree well takes humility. These things are at the heart of the values Jesus taught his listeners and we as a nation would do well to adopt them today. When we all demand our own ways from those who put themselves forward to serve us and lead us, we are in effect putting up barriers of resistance towards any outcome that may serve the common good. If we immediately publicly criticise those that seek to serve and lead us, if they fail to match up to the standards, we set them up to fail and crush them to the point of resignation. Seeking to be kind, honest, compassionate and committed to the truth, is what Jesus taught those who would listen. Today, apart from praying for an outcome that, all may not agree with, but which the majority of people in this country are willing to work on together, I will be praying that where there is a difference of opinion, people will endeavor to disagree well. I pray that God will strengthen the leaders who seek to serve our nation, with humility, and kindness, and those whom they serve adopt the same values. Amen

CHURCH NEWS

A service of Blessing was conducted by Bishop Alan during which we gave thanks for the good things that have, and are, happening at St. George.
The new porch roof was blessed along with the new ciborium for the communion wafers and the new alter linen.
It was wonderful to see Rebecca's daughter Alice involved in the service carrying the candle and the refreshments after, as ever, were superb so a big thankyou to everyone who contributed. Also a big thank you to the Autumn Singers who came along to boost the vocals to make it a rousing occasion for Bishop Alan and to give thanks to God.
St. George over recent years has grown and it is as though God has breathed new life into the church and congregation. Do come along and join in the services and enjoy the sociable side of the church family by staying behind for coffee afterwards. You will find the congregation very welcoming and friendly.
A reminder for those who can't regularly attend, Margaret is away for the next three months and so the services will be once fortnightly until October. Please check the dates to ensure that you are not disappointed by turning up to an empty church.

PRAYER FOR AUGUST
Lord God you have called your servants
To ventures of which we cannot see the ending,
By paths as yet untrodden,
Through perils unknown.
Give us faith to go out with good courage,
Not knowing where we go,
But only that your hand is leading us
And your love supporting us;
Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

HEALTH NEWS
TOPICAL TIPS FROM YOUR LOCAL SURGERY
Welcome to your August update:-
Flu vaccination! Even though it is still summer we are now planning flu vaccination clinics. We will be having walk-in clinics as well as booked appointments beginning September as usual. This year we have a special flu vaccination available for people who have allergies to the usual vaccine. If you are housebound please let us know if you would like a home visit for your vaccine. Flu spreads around the world each year from Australia & Asia over to the Northern hemsisphere in our winter, and flu has been particularly bad in the Southern hemisphere in their winter (our summer), it is wise if you are in an at-risk group or over 65 to get vaccinated as early as possible. Watch out - dates published next month!
Skin protection Hopefully when you are reading this the summer has arrived with good weather. It’s the
time of year when we remind people to protect their skin from the harmful effects of the sun. 100,000 new cases of skin cancer are diagnosed every year in the UK, mostly the result of excessive sun exposure. A lot of these cancers are preventable and to do this Dermatologists recommend use of sunscreens with a high protection factor of 30 SPF or more and also to wear protective clothing in strong sunlight.
Health Checks for people suffering from poor mental health Often people with serious mental illness are at risk of physical problems too and we are now offering free physical health checks to people in this group. Contact us to see if you are eligible. People without any illness who are aged between 40-74 are also eligible for a free NHS health check – just contact us to book your appointment!
Smoking in pregnancy Women who smoke during pregnancy are being urged to quit to help reduce the risk of seriously affecting the health of their baby. In Norfolk, the number of women who smoke whilst pregnant is currently the highest in the East of England (13.5% in 2017/18*) so Norfolk County Council Public Health is aiming to raise awareness of the risks. Smoking in pregnancy is harmful for both the mother and the unborn child. Carbon monoxide enters the mother’s blood, together with around 4,000 other cigarette chemicals, and limits the oxygen that reaches the baby. Research has shown there are several poor birth outcomes associated with smoking during pregnancy including an increased risk of the baby being born prematurely, born too small or dying before birth. There is help available to give up smoking – please contact your GP, midwife or community pharmacist to find out more.

SELF CARE If you receive some ‘self care’ medicines on prescription you may find that these medicines
have been taken off prescription. The reason is that many of these common medicines such as antihistamines for hayfever can be bought more cheaply from pharmacies and supermarkets than it costs the NHS to dispense.
Please keep your appointment! Every week we have many people who make appointments to see one of our GPs or nurses but who don’t attend. On average there are 10-12 appointments a day wasted because people do not attend. This wastes time & stops someone else having the appointment. If you can’t make the appointment please let us know and we will happily rebook.

Prescriptions not filled:-
Continuing from last month I have received the following update about claiming back out of pocket charges in relation to prescriptions that a pharmacy has not been able to fulfil.
"The Rx charge is a tax that the pharmacy collects on the government's behalf. They take your £9, but it goes to the government, not to the pharmacy, so it's for the government to give you a refund, not the pharmacy. Otherwise, the pharmacy would be out by £9.
On the other hand, the pharmacy should have had an idea that the item was hard to obtain...they're regularly given list of items that are MCS (manufacturers cannot supply).
The only way you normally can get a refund is if you were given an official
receipt when you paid...not a till receipt but an FP57 receipt) But that would only be given if you were, say, waiting for an exemption card.
Below is an address that you could write to if this has happened to you and you believe you are entitled to a refund.
Good Cause Reviewers. HWHC, NHSBSA, Bridge House, 152 Pilgrim Street, Newcastle Upon Tyne, NE1 6SN.
Or email [email protected] and make sure you attach your proof of payment. Your enquiry should be dealt with within 10 days of receipt of your correspondence.

GARDENING TIPS
Tips for August
One can never say that there is nothing to do if you have a garden.
Recent rain and warm weather has produced an explosion of growth (and not just in the plants!)
Borders are full of colour, the early flowering perennials such as delphiniums and lupins need to be cut back to about 9", a light application of general fertiliser and with luck you will get a second flush of colour in the autumn.
Roses will need dead heading regularly, can be time consuming but if you can this does reward you with further colour.
Bedding plants are in full bloom and along with baskets and containers they also will benefit from deadheading and don’t forget the weekly liquid feed.
In the veg garden we can be spoilt for choice with plenty to harvest, one drawback of many of the modern F1 hybrid varieties are that they are bred to mature over a short period of harvest, fine for the farmer but recently I had 6 cabbage and cauliflower ready to eat all at once... so it is really important to remember little and often, sowing short rows every couple of weeks.
Thankfully we do get warm autumns so if you have the space, runner and
french beans and most salad crops can still be sown to extend the season.
As mentioned last month, spring bedding needs to be sown so that you have wallflowers, sweet william to bed out after the summer display.
Hopefully the rapid growth of the grass will be slowing down so mowing the lawn every 10 days should suffice. If we do get some very hot weather raise the height of the cut and this will help the grass in drought conditions, unfortunately weeds and moss are always ready to invade the lawn -it’s always a bit of a battle, so a healthy lawn will be less prone to these problems.
And finally...if you are going to have a break I am certain a neighbour will keep your greenhouse and pots watered.
If you are having a break at home take time to enjoy the fruits of your labours.
Enjoy the summer and happy gardening.

Ormesby Art Group
We were greatly saddened a few days ago to learn of the death of a long standing member of the art group, Betty Boyes. The group has been meeting regularly in the village centre since 1981 and Betty was a founder member. Since that time she had always been an active participant in club activities and had been a winner of our annual competition on a number of occasions. For the past two years she had serious health problems and after spending a long period in hospital she moved to a care home in Great Yarmouth. Whilst there she attempted to interest the other residents in painting and one of the outcomes of her efforts will be shown on the front cover of the September magazine.
She will be greatly missed……
A few years ago whilst on holiday in Scotland I saw some very colourful landscape oil paintings which I liked and which were signed "Jolomo". With the help of the internet I found that this signature belonged to an artist, John Lowrie Morrison who was based in Oban. In 2015 I purchased a calendar of his pictures and recently the art group used one of these pictures to produce a combined picture of our own. We cut the original into twelve pieces and different members of the group painted an enlarged picture based on one of these original pieces. Some used watercolour and others acrylic
paints and we think that the combination produces a surprisingly effective representation of the original. Our members plan to have this on show when we hold our annual exhibition later this year.
The club does not meet during August and we will resume our meetings on Wednesday 11th September with a new programme of painting ideas. New members will be welcome to come along and join us.
This year it is planned we shall hold an exhibition of our works at the Village Centre in Ormesby on Saturday and Sunday 5th & 6th October. We would be very pleased for as many people as possible to come along and view examples of our work and enjoy a chat over a nice cup of coffee whilst enjoying the talents this group have to offer. We like to share our love of art and even those who think they have no ability or knowledge whatsoever will be very surprised once they start. Come and be inspired, come and join in the fun and channel your inner 'Jolomo'.

News from Ormesby schools
The infant school held their Summer Fayre on June 29th. We were so lucky with the weather which was sunny and warm and many parents and family members joined us for this lovely occasion. In addition to the traditional cake stall, ice creams and tombolas we also had several performances by local groups in gymnastics, dancing and musical theatre which everyone enjoyed. We would like to thank everyone who contributed in any way from donating cakes and raffle prizes to coming along on the day and joining in the fun. A special thanks must go to the PTA who co ordinated the whole thing.
Sports Days are also an established part of the end of school year activities. At the time of writing the infant school have yet to hold their morning. At the junior school the competition is in two halves – a mini olympics morning where children take part in a variety of events from skipping races to long jump, and then a more traditional afternoon which has a mix of novelty races such as the sack race and an obstacle race followed by the more serious sprints and relays. Competition is always fierce and close and this year Barton House came out on top with 247 points. We would like to thank all those family members who were able
to join us – your support is much appreciated. Thanks must also go to the school staff who organised and
ran the event. We must give a huge thankyou to our elected House Captains who are very busy on sports day organising the mini Olympics, setting up the afternoon events and cheering their house team on. They did a great job !
Over the past term the junior school have had lots of Reading Volunteers joining us regularly. Children have enjoyed reading with the same person each week and building a relationship with their reading partner. We would like to thank our Reading Volunteers for the help they are giving the children to develop as readers, but also for the different experiences they are bringing to our school which is strengthening our sense of community. The final term in the school year is always one of mixed emotions. Children in year 2 and year 6 have been gathering memories and reflecting on their experiences before moving on to the next stage in their educational journey. We would like to wish them all the very best for the future.
For those not moving on we look forward to welcoming you back in September !

There once was a man concerned,
About a nickname he'd earned,
He talked to the Cleric,
About this name Eric,
Who said "Well you do have a little urn!"

Members of a local church discovered that the roof was leaking. The following Sunday morning the churchwarden stood up: “First of all, I want to apologise for the big drip in our pulpit this morning.”
From a parish magazine: We are delighted to report that the choir raised £120 for the building fund during their recent sponsored sing. This included £10 for them not to do it again.
Church notices in a evening newspaper: ‘A talk will be given on Evelyn Christenson’s classic devotional book, ‘What happens when women PREY.’
When a church in Manchester closed its doors for the last time, the denominational magazine informed its readers that this had sadly become necessary because of SWINDLING congregations.
So you think English is easy? Read on:
1) The bandage was wound around the wound.
2) The farm was used to produce produce.
3) We must polish the Polish furniture.
4) The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert.
5) Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present.
6) A sea bass was painted on the head of the bass drum.
7) The insurance was invalid for the invalid.
8) They were too close to the door to close it.
9) After going out after having done some sewing, a sewer fell into a sewer.
10) Upon seeing the tear in the painting I shed a tear.
The One Who Does the Sound
As we gather for the service
Greeting, laughing, chatting we,
While a genius is working
Deep in electricity.
Checking all the wires are plugged in,
Running gremlins down to ground.
1,2,3 – that mike is working!
No more faults there to be found!
Have you seen that desk he/she uses?
Sliders, switches, buttons, knobs;
Looks to me just like a flight deck –
Someone really knows their job!
While you listen, learn, and worship
May a prayer of thanks be found
Then, perhaps a little feedback
For the one who does the sound.

POETRY
NOW WE ARE SIX
When I was One, I had just begun. When I was Two, I was nearly new.
When I was Three I was hardly me.
When I was Four, I was not much more.
When I was Five, I was just alive.
But now I am Six, I'm as clever as clever,
So I think I'll be six now for ever and ever.

PHOTOGRAPHY
Caister Photography Club

We meet at 7-30pm every Wednesday and welcome anyone interested

Camera School - Composition
Composition is much more than the rule of thirds, although it plays an important part in composing an image. Imagine you’re walking through a wood, as in the image on the left. The image is ok and the rule of thirds observed with the tall tree on the right and the leaning one on the left, but it somehow lacks impact. If you’re with a colleague get them to walk ahead of you, just before they reach the shadow in the image take the shot again and then you will find it has much more impact. The image to
the right indicates this perfectly, the focal point of the image, the light area at the end of the tunnel, is again on the third, but the image is made much more interesting by the three people and their shadows.
Three or any odd number is considered to be preferable to even numbers in a photograph. Compare the image of five friends enjoying a get together on the left with the two men on the right enjoying a chat. Which has more impact? I’ll leave you to judge. This image of the pyramids shows a couple standing in front of them, but the girl and the car behind spoil the shot. If the photographer had waited a few seconds the car and the girl would have probably moved away. In the image on the right, it looks as if the tree is
growing out of the mothers head. If she and the child had moved slightly to their right it would not only have prevented this, but would have put them on the third instead of dead centre. There are many excellent articles on the internet regarding composition, far more than I can cover in this article, I hope this helps in some small way, but remember
“There are no rules for good photographs, only good photographs” (Ansel
Adams)
Good luck and enjoy your photography.

PETS/ANIMALS
There’s never a dull moment with snakes.
You certainly can’t give them an inch of space, or like Cato they’ll go for an explore! I have to admit that it was me who didn’t close the tank properly one evening, which allowed Cato to escape.
After turning three rooms upside down, Cato was nowhere to be seen. We assumed that he had got out into the garden, and given the winter temperature we feared the worst. With a sad heart I drove to Angel Aquatics (yes they sell other things too!) the following week and after much deliberation, chose a gorgeous bright orange corn snake that looked remarkably like the much-missed Cato.
For no particular reason Alice named the new snake Charlie, and he quickly settled in to his new home. About a week later I heard a shout of “Mum come here”. I rushed into the dining
room to find my son Franklin grinning from ear to ear, and holding Cato. “Where on earth did he come from?” I asked.
“He came out of the printer while I was typing on the computer.” Franklin informed me, laughing fit to burst. It seems that Cato had found himself a cozy dark place to sleep, and was only disturbed when Franklin had set the printer in motion.
(Grace with 'Dennis')
Both Cato and Charlie now happily share a tank, and I can honestly say that I cannot imagine our home without our beautiful and fascinating snakes.

WOMENS INSTITUTE
ROLLESBY & DISTRICT W.I.
At the last meeting a self-taught local artist Cora Mullenger gave us a short demonstration and then it was over to us to express ourselves on paper! Everyone enjoyed themselves and found it very relaxing.
There was a wonderful display on one of the side tables of the beautifully knitted baby jackets by some of the members for stillborn babies. They were so tiny and looked doll-sized but hopefully they will be appreciated by mourning families.
On 16th July several members attended a garden party at East Ruston as part of the year long celebration of Norfolk WIs Centenary. On 27th July we hold a Tea Party on Norfolk Day.
As there is no meeting in August a reminder of the Harnser Group meeting at Filby village hall was given. This will take place on the 14th. We shall be entertained by Anthony Isaac from BBC Radio Norfolk. Doors will open at 7pm and it is an open meeting to included visitors.

ST JAMES THE LEAST OF ALL
On the discovery of a long-lost crypt
Since your church is a former cinema, I suspect if the floor were removed, cigarette ash, sweet wrappings and old tickets would be revealed. Our marble flooring in the chancel was raised last week to try and find the rat that had died on an underfloor heating pipe. It made its presence so un-ignorable last Winter that it gave me the excuse to use incense.
But we have made an exciting discovery: the long-lost crypt containing the tombs of the Lords Staveley. He flourished in this area, until a little domestic disagreement with Henry II made the family realise that life in Italy might be pleasanter if they wished to retain their heads. The stone from their manor house soon became our lady chapel.
Inevitably, as soon as we had made the discovery, rumours of vast treasure flew round the parish. Long before anyone had descended into it, the treasurer had the fortune earmarked for re-wiring the church, the organist decided it should be spent on enlarging the organ, and Mrs Millington had decided it should keep the flower arrangers in chicken wire until the next millennium-but-one. I confess that even I toyed with the idea of a conservatory with discreet drinks cabinet at the rectory.
Sadly, it was not to be. Our ‘treasure’ consisted of rows of coffins in various
stages of decay, enough bat droppings to keep our Verger’s vegetable patch enriched for the coming year and long-lost peppermints dropped by generations of choristers sitting above, as they munched their way through the sermons.
Later that evening, when the workmen had left, I decided to have one last look. Taking a torch, I descended the stone steps, but lost my footing. The now-broken torch went one way and I another. After floundering round in total darkness and unable to find the stairs to get out, I resigned myself to an uncomfortable night in the crypt until daybreak.
In the early hours, I heard steps on the same stairs and in their torchlight, saw it was someone who must have heard the rumours of treasure and decided to liberate some of it. He, too, tripped, fell and lost his torch and in the total darkness I heard him fumbling about at the other end of the crypt among the coffins.
Intending to be helpful, I called to him softly, saying that I’d been trying to get out of here myself for a long time and had never made it, so he may as well give up. But do you know, he found his way out in no time.
Your loving uncle Eustace
My dear Nephew Darren,

National Lemon Meringue Pie Day takes place on Aug 15th. No-one actually knows how it started by it first came to be in approx. 2006. Lemon is a natural cleanser with qualities of purification, it symbolizes the human heart, light and love. Lemon is known to bring feelings of healing in addition to calming and giving a sense of well-being. Why do
I mention this? Aug 15th in the church calendar is the Ascension of the Virgin Mary, the day she ascends to heaven. A woman who had the heart to accept God's will and who brought into the world the son of God, Jesus Christ - the purest symbol of love and light to all Christians, he was pure, he healed and calmed. Enjoy your pie and feel the love. Bernie

Our ‘girls’ day out
My Dad died in April 1983, we all missed him greatly but Mum was devastated. As the first Christmas approached, (a big thing in the Harwood household) Jean said we should treat her to a day out -Christmas shopping in Harrods. Jean and her husband Alan were account holders there. On the first Saturday of December I picked Mum up at 6.30am and drove to Jeans house where we breakfasted and after a chorus of “ This is our once a year day”, (from the musical Pyjama Game) we went via car , train and taxi to Harrods. The food Hall first, I bought a Christmas pudding, which became a regular thing in the years that followed. Lunch was taken in the ‘Way-in’ Restaurant. It is quite a large store and we did have a guide, but as Jean was a regular shopper we had decided which departments we wanted to visit beforehand and Jean devised the best route. We collected Harrods bags large and small as we made our purchases. Some things for presents and some for decoration. I remember I bought George a pipe, one with a bent stem, and a tin of Harrods London Mix tobacco. We finished at the Jelly bean counter, to become another tradition, this was by a side door and led us nicely out into a side road where a few steps across the road there was a Spaghetti House. This one was run by Sicilians
and they made a fuss of Mum recognising her as the ‘Nonna’, the matriarch. As you may have guessed this became our tradition too. Jean had booked theatre tickets to see Rookery Nook, a farce to make Mum laugh.
The evening ended with a rush to the station to catch our train at Charing Cross. Jean offered a handsome tip
if the driver made it. We went through alleyways so narrow he must have greased the taxi sides. Mum and I stayed over night at Jeans and the next morning at breakfast came the reckoning up. You paid for taxi to Harrods how much? Who paid the bill at the restaurant? and so on. Money settled, Mum and I loaded our bags into my car and drove home to Norfolk. The ‘girls’ day out had been a good idea and we said we must do it again, and we did, but this time Lois joined us so we were four . The next year Jeans’ daughter Diana and her six year old daughter came, six. The last time we did it was just before Mum was ill, we numbered twelve. The Spaghetti House pushed three table together to accommodate us. This little tradition lasted from 1983 to 1999. I still have a Harrods shopping bag and loyalty card, though I closed my account. I do not have the time or inclination to visit the store now but I have the memories of these great ‘girls day out’. Sylvia Catchpole

The Chapel Coffee House
The Chapel Coffee House on North Road, Ormesby is a warm and friendly community café run by Light of Life Baptist Church. Since opening it has become a popular meeting place in the village, welcoming regular customers and visitors alike. The café employs two part-time managers, Carolyn and Gina, and is staffed by a team of volunteers from Light of Life, St Margaret’s Church and others from the village community.
The Chapel Coffee House serves delicious home-made cakes, freshly baked scones and sausage rolls as well as soft drinks, fresh ground coffee, tea and hot chocolate. We have a full lunchtime menu - come and check out our 'specials' board.
There is a children’s corner with a variety of toys and books and board games for all ages, which customers
are welcome to use whilst enjoying their refreshments. Visitors are also able to purchase fair-trade goods and items from the ‘Preloved Corner which raises money for charities. Occasional special events like childrens’ fun days, craft mornings and evening quizzes for adults also take place together with seasonal events at Christmas and Easter.
One regular customer is Jack Dolan, well-known in the village as Chairman of the local branch of the British Legion. Jack says, “We have been coming to the Chapel Coffee House since it opened almost 4 years ago, we come every day it is open (that's a lot of bacon sandwiches). It is very friendly, good value, great atmosphere and we like meeting new people. The food is excellent and the staff are friendly and welcoming. The only downside is that it is only open 3 days a week.”
You can find out more on The Chapel Coffee House Facebook page.

MEMORY MITTS
The knitting club at EN decided to reach out to the community by knitting 100 ‘memory mitts’ for people suffering with dementia.
By enlisting the help of students and staff, the target took just 4 months to reach. The mitts have been distributed not just locally but as far afield as Brighton and Coventry.
A total of 105 have been distributed to 27 care homes.
The knitting club was formed to help students who have problems with maths. Knitting encompasses many basic maths skills; addition, subtraction, measuring, counting. Of the four regular attenders, three are visually impaired.
Carole Dean
Editors Note:- Those of you who know Carole will know that she is very quiet by nature, this shows in the understated way she describes the fantastic results of this knitting clubs efforts.
‘Memory mitts’ provide something for dementia patients to hold and ‘twiddle’, helping to reduce anxiety and promote calm.
The mitts are simple knitted cuffs, to which items such as ribbons, buttons or beads, can be sown, these provide activity for the patients. They have directly shown to be beneficial to the patient and can improve the quality of
the time they spend in hospital.
Having this simple little thing to hold and 'twiddle’ can have a calming effect on a person - the textures, the added accessories and warmth of the memory mitts provide stimulation. Also they help to combat the restlessness and agitation that a patient with dementia may experience.
If you enjoy crafts, this is the type of project being undertaken by the 'Village Crafters' who meet the 2nd & 4th Friday at St. Michaels. Projects ongoing there are baby jackets and teddy bears. Want to know more give them a look and do some good whilst enjoying a chat. Bernie

Louis Mountbatten –
40th anniversary of his death
When I was a young girl I can remember the smiling face and the very endearing nature of 'Lord Louis'. He was the type of chap that a girl would like as a grandfather - I had lost mine when I was very young.
At a time when our country is arguing over Irish back stops and brexit, I thought it would be good to remember Lord Louis and how far we have come over the years. We have moved away from bombs and threats and have a good life - one of understanding, tolerance and forgiveness. I couldn't agree more with 'Rev Mandys Writes' on page 2 - as we think about the past let us celebrate the good and agree to disagree well.
Bernie
It was 40 years ago, on 27th August 1979, that Louis Mountbatten, 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma, was killed by an IRA bomb on his fishing boat Shadow V off the coast of Ireland in Donegal Bay. He was Viceroy of India (1947), Governor-General of India (1947-48), First Sea Lord (1955-59) and mentor of the Prince of Wales.
Three other people died: his 14-year-old grandson Nicholas Knatchbull, the Dowager Lady Brabourne and a local 15-year-old, Paul Maxwell, who was helping to crew the boat.
Lord Mountbatten, who was Prince Charles's great-uncle, often spent his summers at Classiebawn Castle, overlooking Mullaghmore in County Sligo, a family house of his wife Edwina.
The IRA showed no regret for the murder, claiming that it was justified politically. But at an interdenominational service in Mullaghmore to mark the 30th anniversary of the killings, a Church of Ireland cleric, the Rev Noel Regan, said: “It was a desecration of human life and also of a sanctuary – this sacred place set apart as a refuge by so many people over the years.”
Prince Charles however spoke of the importance of reconciliation, and of the compassion shown by people in the area after the event, which had “done much to aid the healing process.”

Friends after Childbirth
On average, around one in five British men and women lose close friends within a year of becoming a parent.
It has been shown that young parents struggle more with parenthood without the support of close friends. A charity 'Movember' , particularly aimed at men, are urging couples to do their best to keep those friendships going. “Spending time with friends allows you to recharge your batteries, which is good for you and your family.”
Love Me Love My Dog
The old adage that dogs take after their owners may be more true that we realise. For a new study has found that when dog-owners suffer from on-going anxiety, so do their dogs.
Scientists measured the concentration of cortisol, a stress hormone, by taking a few centimetres of hair from a number of dogs and their owners. A direct correlation between the level of stress in any dog and its owner was found.
The dog’s character was irrelevant, researchers said. Instead, “we found
that the levels of long-term cortisol in dog and owner were synchronized. Owners with high cortisol levels have dogs with high cortisol levels.” In other words, owners’ personalities have a huge effect on their dogs.
Our Eyes - Check your Sunglasses
Our eyes are ten times more sensitive to UV light than our skin, and eye damage from UV light builds up and can lead to cataracts and age-related macular degeneration – the UK’s biggest cause of blindness.
The Eyecare Trust has urged parents to take care. Children’s eyes have bigger pupils and clearer lenses, and so allow up to 70 per cent more UV light to reach the retina than adult eyes. Their message - ‘protect your children’s sight now, or they could lose it later.’”
It is important to buy good quality sunglasses for your children that show either the European Standard (EN 1836:2005) or the British Standard (BS EN 1836:2005). All British Standard will carry the CE mark.
Never buy your children sunglasses in toy stores or street markets – you have no proof that they are of the correct standard. More info at: https://www.eyecaretrust.org.uk/
