First word

eesa Espley was on the
cover of T&A in 2021
Lwhen we ran an article
about the female volunteers at
Hunstanton Lifeboat Station for
International Women’s Day. This
time it’s all about Leesa, the
RNLI’s first female hovercraft
pilot, who has been presented with
her 20-year service medal from
the RNLI. You can read about her
on page 6. Thank you, Chris
Bishop/RNLI for the photos.
The magazine is crammed full
of very diverse content and new
for this issue is a February Food
page (56). There you can find the
Prudent Pensioner’s Less Waste, More Soup recipe, details of the free
food and cooking sessions in Hunstanton starting on 30th January and
a cheeky Leap Year cocktail invented in 1928 by an American in
London escaping prohibition in his country of birth.
Garden and nature lovers will find articles on pages 18-22 and those
who prefer to look skywards page 30 is for you.
Local politics, history, business news, fashion, health, events, sport,
the arts, and news from schools and local organisations are all included
in these pages. My thanks to all who have contributed.
Little by little the days are getting longer and next month we change
the clocks!
In the meantime, don’t forget Valentine’s Day on 14th.

With best wishes for a fabulous February,
PRINT IS KING!
