Hello Everyone.
Happy Easter to you and I hope it is all you want it to be. We never know what sort of
weather we are going to get, maybe with Easter being a bit later, we will have a
warm one, but we must relish every day.
I can remember 3yrs ago, with one over excited 3yr old waiting for the Easter Bunny
and two rather grumpy young teenage boys aghast that they had to surface soooo
early, because the sun was so hot that it was beginning to melt the hidden Easter
eggs, really! Talking of hidden Easter Eggs, in this edition of The Voice there are 10
hidden Easter eggs, can you find them all?
The cover photo is quite old and alas, no longer ours as we had to leave it at our
previous home, but it is special as the Magnolia was given to us by SJ, our eldest
daughter, to nurture, as we had nurtured her up to and through Uni. Aww.
Whatever you do, do with a good heart. Wishing you a truly Awesome April. Gina

SORE THROAT
Sore throats are often caused by viruses and usually settle within one to two
weeks without the need for any medical treatment. White spots on the tonsils
do not imply a need for antibiotics.

Paracetamol should be taken for pain. Follow the advice on the pack.

Salt gargles may be used to ease a sore throat in adults and

children over 12. Dissolve two teaspoons of salt in half a
glass of water, gargle and spit out. Repeat several times a
day.

Please do not ask for antibiotics as refusal may offend

Many people give reasons for asking for antibiotics to treat
sore throats. “I'm going on holiday”, “I'm getting married” or “I've got
exams” are commonly cited. Viruses are immune to such reasoning and
antibiotics are no more likely to be effective on these occasions.

When to see the doctor

· If a sore throat is so severe that you cannot drink
· If hoarseness persists for more than six weeks
· If a child who is ill refuses to drink
· If you think that you (or your child) are seriously unwell

Covid Booster (4th Dose)Vaccinations

We will be participating in the next phase of Covid 19 Vaccination
Programme. This will begin later in April however we have no specific
date.
Vaccination clinics will be held in the Medical Centre.
We will contact all eligible patients aged 18 and over once the vaccine
becomes available.

 TO ALL PARISHIONERS
TO ALL PARISHIONERS
Dear Friends.

As I sit down to write this letter my thoughts are very much with the
people of the Ukraine as they fight for what they believe in, but are faced with the
impossible task of seeking a way to settle the situation. We look on with horror as
the events unfold, not sure how this will end or even if we will all become involved in
the conflict.

At this time of year, we hear again the Easter story about Jesus, a man who
challenged the status quo, turned the values of society upside down, offered a way
to bridge the natural and the supernatural world and on Good Friday gave his life for
all of us. Watching him die were the men and women who followed, supported and
learned from him. All the possibilities he seemed to offer came to an end, when
Jesus on the cross, cried out the words, 'It is finished!' bows his head and gave up
the spirit. So, was it the end? Did the Friday that we call Good Friday mark the end
of the Jesus story? Did his followers slink off home, defeated and dispirited? Maybe
so, for a couple of days, but then Jesus was raised again to life, a new life that
somehow broke through all human understanding of what it meant to die.

For Christians, the death and resurrection of Jesus lies at the heart of what it means
to be truly human. Why? Because Christians believe that every barrier that might be
placed between turning evil to good, between lies and truth, between slavery and
freedom, and ultimately, between God and humanity, was broken down on that first
Easter Sunday morning. It represents hope of a new start, a new direction, a new
future and the opportunity to be truly fulfilled humans. It may be that at the moment
we all feel a little bit like Jesus' followers – the world seems uncertain and
dangerous, the news constantly elevates our concerns, creating a picture of a world
we can no longer really understand.
Easter, however, is a story of hope. Easter tells us that, however bad our situation
might appear to be, there is a way forward, even if we can't see it right now, and
there is always prayer. It may be prayer to the God you believe in. It may be prayer
to the God you don't know. It may even be prayer that has no known destination.
Many people, of all ages, have found that praying can have remarkable results.
Sometimes, it may feel as though we are forever stuck in Good Friday but we must
remember that Easter Sunday always follows.

Prayer
Dear Lord, Thank you for the inspiration and hope that we can take from the Easter
story. Help us to bring that hope and kindness to all those we can.

Joy Smith Licensed Lay Minister

“In everything, treat others the same
way you want them to treat you”
Matthew 7:12
Over the last few weeks we have
watched the crisis in the Ukraine
deepen. The school council have been
meeting to consider what our response
and actions should be. On comic relief
day we will be encouraging our school
community to dress in blue and yellow
to show our support. This year comic
relief will be supporting charities related
to the humanitarian crisis. Our children
had collective worship relating to the
conflict, sending our Messages of
hope, love, peace and support and a
desire to 'treat others as you yourself
would wish to be treated' and using the
parable of the Good Samaritan. The
school council are also keen to
'Educate against hate' to ensure that
we all understand that it is important to
live peacefully with everyone
regardless of their colour, culture or
religion.
We are investing in a range of books
related to celebrating diversity.
In Year 1 the children have made cards
sending messages of peace, hope and
good wishes to the children of the
Ukraine. Thank you to the parents who
have encouraged this and please do get
in touch if you would like our support.
Tree Planting in the Village
Reception and the school council were
thrilled to be
invited to take
part in tree
planting in the
village. As some
hedges or trees
are removed in
the village we are
keen to be
involved in any
project that looks
to reinstate our
valuable
woodland and hedgerows. At the new
school although some trees had to be
removed we are looking at plans to
create a woodland area
Cathedral Visit
Two of our classes were thrilled to be
going on their first trip out for some time.
They had a wonderful trip to Norwich
Cathedral. Not only is it a beautiful place
to visit the children also experienced
some great learning activities related to
scheme, geography and PSE. Thank you
to the staff who made the trip such a
success.
Reception Places for September 2022
Don't forget that you need to select a school for
your child for September 2022. Please get in

My name is Bob Holden and I am the
new Chair of the Gayton J V H, having
taken over from Ana recently. First and
foremost, I would like to thank Ana for
steadying the ship after Covid and
leading us to a much better place.
Myself and my fellow Trustees respect
her and her decision for relinquishing
the post of Chair.

helpers and in particular, a Secretary.
If anyone is interested in lending a hand
at whatever level, please contact us on
the Village Hall social media site or
contact me on 07494143960.
What is clear is that you would be
helping a village that cares.
We have had an extraordinary response
to the Appeal for help for the Ukraine.
Our ladies, Sandi and Anne have taken
delivery of a massive amount of stuff
that can only help the plight of the
people of the Ukraine.
Further thanks go out to Tim for his help
and advice at the Hall and ultimately to
Richard for organising this at the top
level.
On Easter Saturday 16th April we will

We are looking into the idea of a Jubilee
café, opening for coffees over the
spring/summer period
Celebrations in June
We are actively looking into how our

 Gayton Past Times
Another Landlord and Landlady from the past was Richard and Val Turner, who ran
the Crown in the mid 70s along with Richards Parents Cyril and Dorothy.
Richard ran a very orderly house, If he saw a couple kissing he would soon say not
in here thank you. He kept a good pint, getting in the Good Beer guide in 1978 and
for many years after that.
I remember taking my new born Daughter in there, only to have Judy Harper take
her around the pub, with Richard shouting get that child out of here!
One of the best memories must be one of the Fancy Dress evenings, Gill, my late
wife, and I went as Laurel and Hardy; I was the fat one. But the best one had to be
Eric Bunkall who dressed up as Val, the landlady, with his eyebrows pencilled in,
and one of Val’s cardigans on, he did make you do a double take! Nice one Eric.
Richard started the Darts team which I mentioned in a previous edition.
I hope this brought back some memories, and made you smile? And if anyone has
some photos I would love to borrow them please. Ken Dewing.

My mate was telling me he failed his exam in Aboriginal Music....

Prayers for Ukraine

Father God, King of all nations, we cry out to you now for the people of Ukraine. We
ask you to rescue those who are vulnerable from the hands of their enemies that
they may live without fear before you all their days.
Lord in your mercy. Hear our prayer

Lord of lords and Prince of peace, our politicians are predicting the biggest war in
Europe since 1945, and we simply cry out to you urgently to write another story in
our time. Thwart the dark machinations of evil men. Give wisdom beyond human
wisdom to peacemakers seeking an equitable and less violent way. May politicians
exercise the wisdom from above, which is peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, and full
of mercy.
Lord in your mercy. Hear our prayer

Holy Spirit, we pray for the church in Ukraine, a nation in which 70% of the
population call themselves Christian. Give our many brothers and sisters in that
nation courage in this crisis that they may proclaim the good news of your kingdom,
bind up broken hearts, and bring comfort to all who mourn.
Lord in your mercy. Hear our prayer

You Lord, make wars cease to the end of the earth; you break bows, shatter spears,
and burn shields with fire. And so we ask you now to save the lives of many people
in Ukraine. Make a peace that is strong and not weak.
De-escalate this crisis. We hear of wars and rumours of wars but you Lord are our
rock, our fortress and our deliverer. Our hope is in you. And so we address the
nations now. In the name of Jesus we say: “Be still and know God! He is exalted
among the nations; he shall be exalted in the earth.
Lord in your mercy. Hear our prayer

Take a Bow Gayton Skateboarding Youngsters!
A few Saturdays ago, I took my 7yr old granddaughter, with her brand-
new skateboard, to practice on our Gayton skatepark. Two young
teenage lads were already on there and we stood watching them, in
awe, at their very impressive moves. After a short while, they said
'Come on, there's plenty of room' and moved over for her.
Being shy and a novice, she was still worried about going on there,
then the boys picked up their things and with a cheery 'There you go'
went off to play on other things.
Granddaughter spent a happy ten minutes (?)
on the skatepark, feeling very grown up and
having the space all to herself.
I have no idea who the boys were, but they
were so kind and lovely, I want to say a big
thank you from me and one happy, little girl.
Pat Richardson
Compost Corner
The more you sow, the more you reap! Well, not always in my
case because 'green fingered, I ain't!
I do have trouble with carrot germination and the first early variety
I set three weeks ago, not one has surfaced. So strategy no 2. I
have sown three or four seeds in module; let me tell you more. When you buy little
bedding plants, they often come in a bottomless carrying trays and these I put into
saved mushroom containers. I fill up the holes with seed compost and pop in the
seeds, so should they germinate, they can easily be transplanted out into a row in
the garden without disturbing the roots.
Pricking out isn't my favourite task, but there is plenty to do this time of year. Later
this month, we should be able to harden things off a bit by leaving them out during
the day and covering them at night, just for two or three days.
Potatoes can be planted this month, along with onion sets, chard, kale and most
brassicas. I like to try something different each year, so for the first time we are
growing Celeriac. They need a bit of heat to get them off, but a warm window sill will
suffice. I set them in little modules and so far so good, but they are more tortoise
seedlings than hares!
Keep up with the weeding, grass cutting and edging and take time out to enjoy your
patch, pots or estate. Fleur Potts

 Ukraine Aid Appeal
What an amazing success !! Huge thanks to all of you who were so
kind in your donations, ranging from dog food, medication, bedding
and warm clothing, to mention just a few items - the generosity has
been extraordinary. Not least from the year 1 pupils at Gayton
Academy -- (photo attached)

Four large van loads of boxed donations were delivered over the weekend of 12th
March and by now , hopefully,
are being used by those in
need !
Also thanks goes to the
Trustees of the Village Hall for
not only opening the Hall but
also manning it for 4 very
busy shifts !
A massive vote of thanks and
credit goes to Richard Grant
for "setting the ball rolling" and
sifting and sorting all the
donations and of course those
that volunteered to help. Tim Desborough

 I set myself a challenge of running continuously
around my local village of Gayton from Sunrise to
Sunset in support of YANA, the rural mental health
charity on Saturday 16th April.
Every week, 1 in 6 adults in the UK have
experience mental health issues such as
depression or anxiety.
Every week, 1 in 5 adults in the UK have
considered take it their own lives.
I am raising awareness of YANA so they can help
more people who may be struggling.
The last few years have been particularly tough with Covid and now with the
situation in Ukraine and the on going issues with the cost of living etc.
If one person gets help after seeing this post or joining me for a lap it will all be worth
while.
If would like to join me for a lap or two, either running, jogging, walking you will be
more than welcome, I will be there from 6am to 8pm
The laps start and finish at The Crown in Gayton and there will be a warm welcome
before or after or just come along and support!
As it's Easter Saturday I am doing an Easter Egg amnesty, so if you have spare
Easter Eggs bring them along as I will consume my body weight in chocolate during
the 14 hours of running and any left over will be donated to charity.
See you on the 16th April!
