From The Editor There’s nothing quite like the World Cup is there? It truly does grip our nation and our house has been no exception. As a family we’ve watched all the games, even Nigeria’s dull (and that’s being kind) draw against Iran. After losing to Italy, England face a tough battle to get out of their group. My dad back in March (he was ‘confident’ back then) predicted that Roy Hodgson’s side wouldn’t get out of the group and would only score twice. I guess by the time you’re reading this we will know whether he was right or not. Coming up in July is the Butterfly Conservation’s ‘Big Butterfly Count’ survey, which I will be taking part in. The survey helps identify trends in butterfly and moth species. The count only takes 15 minutes to do and is organised at this time of year because most butterflies are at the adult stage of their lifecycle, so are more likely to be seen. The count takes place between 19th July—10th August. It’s fun to do for the family and isn’t that difficult to do as out here in the countryside they are everywhere! For more information please visit www.bigbutterflycount.org. Lastly can I please remind all local residents that Dog Mess is an eyesore and a health hazard. If you are a dog owner, you have a legal duty to clean up every time your dog messes in a public place. I’m sorry to sound like a broken-record, but it’s wrong, not clever and is an act that really does frustrate a lot of people. Do the right thing! Adam

JULY: THAT BOY TOM I hant had a wud along w’yu leartly cos I bin suffin busy. Thas bin the yar end with that little job I du in the village und the Missus und I hev bin away in our caravan. We ha’a go to a weddin in the Lake District so we thought we’d stay arter that were over und hev a look round. That were a job a gettin there, I thought the old M25 were bad enough but the M62 & M6 near Manchester ha got that beat. The Missus din’t ha’a du a lot o’map reading cos we got one o’them sat.nat things so she spent har time “a keepin the car on the rood”. I told har , “She’ed be suffin clever if she could, cos I hed hold o’the steerin wheel”. When we got there we park the old caravan on a farm wth a’few sheep t’keep us company. The farmer recon they hed 1500 ewes, They hed all lambed und were turned out onta the fells. They get um back down t’shear um and wean the lambs in the Autumn. They only grow grass up there cos there arnt to many flat fields where yu could get a plough in. I got wrong orf the Missus cos I kept a garping over the stone walls while I was a drivin und kept a gettin her side of the car to clus t’the wall on har side o’the rood. One o’our boys und his family were a’stayin up there un all. when we drawed round t’see um they asked us if we’d like t’go for a walk t’see sum waterfalls. Our Boy recon that were only “4 miles”. Well Bor that were the longest 4 miles I’v ever walked: that took 3 hours. I recon that were 4 miles on the flat but w’all that climbin up & down on them footpaths I recon we did ni on 8 miles. Our boy recon he knew where we were cos he ha got one o’them GSP things. That nearly did the Missus in, she ha’a hev a rest once or twice. I say t’her “U’ll ha’a keep a goin cos I’ll never get a wheel barra up here t’get u out”. Still the waterfalls were worth sein and there were a good place for sum foursers (tea & cake)at the end. Since I last wrote them old crops around here hev grown suffin fast. The old winter barley thas in ear already(late May they recon thas 6 weeks from ear to shear (combine). The oil seed rape thas a dun flowering, so that’ll be early und all und the old sugar beet thas a meetin acroos the rows about 4 weeks early un all. Thas the same w’things in the garden, I hev got sweet peas in flower und the grass seem t’want t’be cut every other day. But hold you hard, like I ha sed afor Old Mother Nature can blow hot und cold so don’t start a talkin about an early harvest just yet cos you never know what weather she ha got for us just round the corner. One o’our boys is a gettin married now soon. He hed his stag night tuther night in Norridge. I drawd along for a bit o’golf und a bite t’eat but when they started a dressin him up in a woman’s dress with a coloured wig afor they went inta a pub I regon that were time t’draw on home. I rung him up the next day und he seemed alright. He recon his brother hed looked arter him! A’time yu read this tha’ll a’dun celibratin the 70 years since D-Day. I ha bin t’them beaches in France where they landed. I won’t want to h’run acroos them und up the dunes a carryin my kit with-out what the Germans were a hullin at them. We’r also a remembering the Great War un all. Next time yu go past the Church du yu stop und read the names on the War Memorial. Thas true what they say: “They gave their tomorrow for our today”. Fare ye well t’gether und du yu keep a’troshin

Carbrooke Church News Carbrooke Church Lottery Drawn by Rev. Neil 1st Prize (£40) Cherill Saunders (No. 24) 2nd Prize (£20) Helen Riley (No. 38) 3rd Prize (£15) Dave Baker (No. 16) All Lottery funds help to raise money towards essential church restoration. On 23rd May, the Funeral Service was held for Alan Cammidge of Caudle Springs, who died aged 90 years. Alan is remembered for his cheery disposition and as a kind and considerate neighbour. Afternoon Tea will be held as usual on the 25th July at 2pm in the Village Hall. All welcome. Come along, bring your children, or your parents! Arrangements are now in Full swing for our Village Festival of St Peter & St Paul, both Carbrooke Church and Carbrooke School are dedicated to St Peter & St Paul, whose festival date of is 29th June, and in past times would have been an excuse for a celebration. This offers a great opportunity for local organisations to raise their funds and pro-file. We have local talents on display, in the form of Arts, Crafts and Music during the weekend. St Peter and St Paul are regarded as founders of the Christian church, St Peter a simple fisherman, and close friend of Jesus. St Paul, a Roman citizen, had been responsible for persecuting Christians, and was converted, by a life changing event. Peter and Paulcame from very different backgrounds and didn’t always see eye to eye on how the church should be run, but 2000 years later their witness is still visible in Carbrooke. We hope you have supported this community event, and helped our local organisations, as we work together to enhance our diverse facilities, creating a great place to live.

Blenheim Community Church WHO CARES?
During this summer there is a Norfolk-wide initiative where different churches work together to listen to the needs of local people. This involves a survey asking the simple question: "what's the thing in life you find hardest to handle?"
We are hoping to survey Blenheim Grange on the afternoon of Wednesday 30 July. It would be really good if you could give us a few minutes of your time on that day to tell us what you think.
For more details about other current activities, contact Andrew Rees on 07709930033. Part of the Fountain of Life Network, Charity No: 1153552

Carbrooke Heritage Group
The weather did us proud on Friday June 6th, when we welcomed Carbrooke descendants, John and Dorothy Johnson from Michigan USA, whose ancestors were James and Elizabeth Sayer, born in the late 1700’s. They had a large family. John is descended from their son William, who emigrated to America to start a new life in 1840’s, which must have been quite an undertaking, leaving a quiet little village in Norfolk, everything he knew, and travel across the world into the unknown! James and Elizabeth had another son – Henry and one of his sons left for London. Patti Moore was also able to join us. She is descended through Henry, and hoping to move back to Carbrooke. John, Dorothy and Patti were delighted to meet each other, and discuss their connections. Sayer is quite a common name in this area, so if you have that name in your family, perhaps you are related too. We were also able to welcome Anthony and Phyllis Boddy, from Harwich, whose ancestor (Anthony Boddy) was also born in Carbrooke, and his father was a Shep-herd at Shipdham Road ( Tun Moore in 1851). We started the day, by attending the Community Assembly at the school, and as the date coincided with the D-Day Landings, Mr King explained the importance of the events to the children. We were then shown around the school, and how much it has changed since Anthony Boddy would have attended in the 1850’s, soon after it was built as a single roomed building! We followed this by a look around the church, and John and Dorothy were able to visit the grave of their ancestors. We had a quick look around the village and then Mr and Mrs Johnson visited Woodrising where they also have connections.

This bike ride will be departing Carbrooke Millenium Green @ 7:30am and returning there after cycle ride. In the evening from 7pm onwards there will be family entertainment, including raffle, auctions, burger car, ice cream stall, air ambulance stall, a bar, bouncy castle, face painting, and hopefully a live band, which is in the progress of being arranged. Also by the time we get to the event date we will have many more attractions!

A most enjoyable get together was held in the Village Hall at 2pm over tea and refreshments, as local resi-dents arrived and we chatted about Carbrooke in past times. Although our older residents lived here during the first part of the 20th century, Carbrooke life was probably more similar then to what it had been 200 years earlier, than what it is today.
Thank you to everyone who took part, it is great to be able to ‘show off’ our village like this, and the visitors were very appreciative, we presented them with local books and information (again, including the most recent copy of New Penny News!)
“This brief e mail is to thank you so much for all the trouble that you took to make our visit to Carbrooke so memorable. Also the residents went to great pains, and it was all very much appreci-ated. I usually send thank you letters by snail mail in hand writ-ing, but I do not have your address, so this poor replacement will have to suffice, but it is none the less sincere for all its fail-ings. Yours Anthony Boddy” “Thank you to the whole community of Carbrooke and to Gill in Woodrising. This was a dream fulfilled, especially for John, to learn much more of his ancestry and of the people, history of his family, both in the past and present. We had a wonderful greeting at the school, a tour of the village, church, tea with many fine residents, sharing of photos and stories, visiting ancestors' grave stones, and much more. Thank you for organizing this, along with everyone else we met. His family will always be grateful for the photos and stories we return with! Dorothy Johnson”
Next meeting: Wednesday 9th July 7pm in the Church. All welcome to our informal meetings. We are also hoping for another visit to Norwich Records Office on Wednesday 2nd July, contact me if you are interested in going. We are still seeking local information relating to WW1 .

As a keen birdwatcher and Wildlife fan, meeting Terry and seeing his photos and carvings up close was a real privilege. The ‘centre-piece’ of his work was this marvellous Barn Owl carving. Terry told me that it took him a staggering 10 weeks to do. The detail on this carving and the rest of Terry’s work was incredible. For more info on Terry’s work follow him on Twitter @TWEbirdcarver

This bike ride will be departing Carbrooke Millenium Green @ 7:30am and returning there after cycle ride. In the evening from 7pm onwards there will be family entertainment, including raffle, auctions, burger car, ice cream stall, air ambulance stall, a bar, bouncy castle, face painting, and hopefully a live band, which is in the progress of being arranged. Also by the time we get to the event date we will have many more attractions!

A most enjoyable get together was held in the Village Hall at 2pm over tea and refreshments, as local resi-dents arrived and we chatted about Carbrooke in past times. Although our older residents lived here during the first part of the 20th century, Carbrooke life was probably more similar then to what it had been 200 years earlier, than what it is today.
Thank you to everyone who took part, it is great to be able to ‘show off’ our village like this, and the visitors were very appreciative, we presented them with local books and information (again, including the most recent copy of New Penny News!)
“This brief e mail is to thank you so much for all the trouble that you took to make our visit to Carbrooke so memorable. Also the residents went to great pains, and it was all very much appreci-ated. I usually send thank you letters by snail mail in hand writ-ing, but I do not have your address, so this poor replacement will have to suffice, but it is none the less sincere for all its fail-ings. Yours Anthony Boddy” “Thank you to the whole community of Carbrooke and to Gill in Woodrising. This was a dream fulfilled, especially for John, to learn much more of his ancestry and of the people, history of his family, both in the past and present. We had a wonderful greeting at the school, a tour of the village, church, tea with many fine residents, sharing of photos and stories, visiting ancestors' grave stones, and much more. Thank you for organizing this, along with everyone else we met. His family will always be grateful for the photos and stories we return with! Dorothy Johnson”
Next meeting: Wednesday 9th July 7pm in the Church. All welcome to our informal meetings. We are also hoping for another visit to Norwich Records Office on Wednesday 2nd July, contact me if you are interested in going. We are still seeking local information relating to WW1 .

Carbrooke Heritage Group
The weather did us proud on Friday June 6th, when we welcomed Carbrooke descendants, John and Dorothy Johnson from Michigan USA, whose ancestors were James and Elizabeth Sayer, born in the late 1700’s. They had a large family. John is descended from their son William, who emigrated to America to start a new life in 1840’s, which must have been quite an undertaking, leaving a quiet little village in Norfolk, everything he knew, and travel across the world into the unknown! James and Elizabeth had another son – Henry and one of his sons left for London. Patti Moore was also able to join us. She is descended through Henry, and hoping to move back to Carbrooke. John, Dorothy and Patti were delighted to meet each other, and discuss their connections. Sayer is quite a common name in this area, so if you have that name in your family, perhaps you are related too. We were also able to welcome Anthony and Phyllis Boddy, from Harwich, whose ancestor (Anthony Boddy) was also born in Carbrooke, and his father was a Shep-herd at Shipdham Road ( Tun Moore in 1851). We started the day, by attending the Community Assembly at the school, and as the date coincided with the D-Day Landings, Mr King explained the importance of the events to the children. We were then shown around the school, and how much it has changed since Anthony Boddy would have attended in the 1850’s, soon after it was built as a single roomed building! We followed this by a look around the church, and John and Dorothy were able to visit the grave of their ancestors. We had a quick look around the village and then Mr and Mrs Johnson visited Woodrising where they also have connections.

Carbrooke Church News Carbrooke Church Lottery Drawn by Rev. Neil 1st Prize (£40) Cherill Saunders (No. 24) 2nd Prize (£20) Helen Riley (No. 38) 3rd Prize (£15) Dave Baker (No. 16) All Lottery funds help to raise money towards essential church restoration. On 23rd May, the Funeral Service was held for Alan Cammidge of Caudle Springs, who died aged 90 years. Alan is remembered for his cheery disposition and as a kind and considerate neighbour. Afternoon Tea will be held as usual on the 25th July at 2pm in the Village Hall. All welcome. Come along, bring your children, or your parents! Arrangements are now in Full swing for our Village Festival of St Peter & St Paul, both Carbrooke Church and Carbrooke School are dedicated to St Peter & St Paul, whose festival date of is 29th June, and in past times would have been an excuse for a celebration. This offers a great opportunity for local organisations to raise their funds and pro-file. We have local talents on display, in the form of Arts, Crafts and Music during the weekend. St Peter and St Paul are regarded as founders of the Christian church, St Peter a simple fisherman, and close friend of Jesus. St Paul, a Roman citizen, had been responsible for persecuting Christians, and was converted, by a life changing event. Peter and Paulcame from very different backgrounds and didn’t always see eye to eye on how the church should be run, but 2000 years later their witness is still visible in Carbrooke. We hope you have supported this community event, and helped our local organisations, as we work together to enhance our diverse facilities, creating a great place to live.

JULY: THAT BOY TOM I hant had a wud along w’yu leartly cos I bin suffin busy. Thas bin the yar end with that little job I du in the village und the Missus und I hev bin away in our caravan. We ha’a go to a weddin in the Lake District so we thought we’d stay arter that were over und hev a look round. That were a job a gettin there, I thought the old M25 were bad enough but the M62 & M6 near Manchester ha got that beat. The Missus din’t ha’a du a lot o’map reading cos we got one o’them sat.nat things so she spent har time “a keepin the car on the rood”. I told har , “She’ed be suffin clever if she could, cos I hed hold o’the steerin wheel”. When we got there we park the old caravan on a farm wth a’few sheep t’keep us company. The farmer recon they hed 1500 ewes, They hed all lambed und were turned out onta the fells. They get um back down t’shear um and wean the lambs in the Autumn. They only grow grass up there cos there arnt to many flat fields where yu could get a plough in. I got wrong orf the Missus cos I kept a garping over the stone walls while I was a drivin und kept a gettin her side of the car to clus t’the wall on har side o’the rood. One o’our boys und his family were a’stayin up there un all. when we drawed round t’see um they asked us if we’d like t’go for a walk t’see sum waterfalls. Our Boy recon that were only “4 miles”. Well Bor that were the longest 4 miles I’v ever walked: that took 3 hours. I recon that were 4 miles on the flat but w’all that climbin up & down on them footpaths I recon we did ni on 8 miles. Our boy recon he knew where we were cos he ha got one o’them GSP things. That nearly did the Missus in, she ha’a hev a rest once or twice. I say t’her “U’ll ha’a keep a goin cos I’ll never get a wheel barra up here t’get u out”. Still the waterfalls were worth sein and there were a good place for sum foursers (tea & cake)at the end. Since I last wrote them old crops around here hev grown suffin fast. The old winter barley thas in ear already(late May they recon thas 6 weeks from ear to shear (combine). The oil seed rape thas a dun flowering, so that’ll be early und all und the old sugar beet thas a meetin acroos the rows about 4 weeks early un all. Thas the same w’things in the garden, I hev got sweet peas in flower und the grass seem t’want t’be cut every other day. But hold you hard, like I ha sed afor Old Mother Nature can blow hot und cold so don’t start a talkin about an early harvest just yet cos you never know what weather she ha got for us just round the corner.

From The Editor There’s nothing quite like the World Cup is there? It truly does grip our nation and our house has been no exception. As a family we’ve watched all the games, even Nigeria’s dull (and that’s being kind) draw against Iran. After losing to Italy, England face a tough battle to get out of their group. My dad back in March (he was ‘confident’ back then) predicted that Roy Hodgson’s side wouldn’t get out of the group and would only score twice. I guess by the time you’re reading this we will know whether he was right or not. Coming up in July is the Butterfly Conservation’s ‘Big Butterfly Count’ survey, which I will be taking part in. The survey helps identify trends in butterfly and moth species. The count only takes 15 minutes to do and is organised at this time of year because most butterflies are at the adult stage of their lifecycle, so are more likely to be seen. The count takes place between 19th July—10th August. It’s fun to do for the family and isn’t that difficult to do as out here in the countryside they are everywhere! For more information please visit www.bigbutterflycount.org. Lastly can I please remind all local residents that Dog Mess is an eyesore and a health hazard. If you are a dog owner, you have a legal duty to clean up every time your dog messes in a public place. I’m sorry to sound like a broken-record, but it’s wrong, not clever and is an act that really does frustrate a lot of people. Do the right thing! Adam
