Last week we covered the story of a woman, said to be the oldest living test cricketer, external, who said healthy eating and two glasses of red wine a day are her secret to a long life, external.

Eileen Ash, who lives in Norwich, celebrated her 105th birthday yesterday, and told the BBC: “When you get to 105, you don’t really do birthday parties any more. I just sat in my chair and drank wine.

“Being 105 doesn’t feel very different to being 104, I’m just carrying on as normal.

“Today I’m having a very quiet day playing bridge."

She played test cricket for England women, making her debut at the crease in 1937.

The Norfolk Archaeological Trust is asking people to stay away from the ruins for a week while the assessment takes place.

Four people were arrested and vehicles and equipment seized after police were called on Sunday morning. There were about 60 to 70 people at the rave. 

A spokesman said: "The trust is very disappointed that public access to the site has been abused in this way.

"It has not been possible for a representative of the trust to visit the site to assess any potential issues, as the police are still there.

"However, we would like to recommend people do not visit the site for the next couple of weeks to give us the opportunity to sort out any health and safety issues that might have arisen from the event."

We've been following the story of a rave at the remains of St Benet's Abbey in Holme in the Norfolk Broads.

Looking at its history the Benectine abbey was founded in the 1020s by King Cnut (see below) who granted the land to a group of hermits.

Once established the abbey was given more and more land by wealthy donors - including Edith Swan-neck the wife of King Harold.

St Benet’s was the only monastery in Britain not to be "dissolved" under Henry VII, but it had fallen into debt and by 1545 the last remaining monks had gone and buildings fell into ruin.

In the 1700s local farmers built a windmill on the site.

A brown long-eared bat had his very own fright night after getting in a flap when he got trapped in a house in Norfolk.

The tiny mammal found himself trapped in a house in King’s Lynn.

He was captured and taken to a bat carer, but wouldn’t eat so was then taken in by specialists at the RSPCA’s East Winch Wildlife Centre on 19 October.

When he first arrived he was underweight at 6g (0.21oz), dehydrated and very weak.

Now, almost two weeks later, the little bat, is eating well and weighs 7g (0.25oz) - about the weight of a key according to vets.

A sailor whose yacht ran aground on a beach said he charted the wrong course.

John Favell said he was bringing his boat Mithril down the coast, but got disorientated and ended up on the beach, smashing into a groyne.

The 25-tonne craft was travelling from Hull to the Thames Estuary when the wind dropped and the engine failed to start.

The vessel struck the breakwater and became beached at Cart Gap.

Mr Favell said he regretted not calling for help earlier.

He said: "In the dark, I couldn't really tell, and I tried to pull away from the lights. I was trying to make my way out, but there wasn't enough wind to blow me off shore and the tide gradually took me in.

"It was a harrowing experience."

The Mithril smashed onto a groyne at Happisburgh when the captain lost his course in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Its captain, John Favell, from Hull, was hit by the boom on impact and thrown into the water. He was left with minor injuries. 

He said: "All the local people have been marvelous, it's blown me away, especially the coastguard and the RNLI."

Norwich City captain Russell Martin didn't hold back after his side were crushed 5-0 by Brighton at the weekend.

"Too many lads gave up," was his damning assessment of the performance. 

The Canaries were 1-0 down to former manager Chris Hughton's team with half an hour remaining, but capitulated alarmingly with a series of defensive errors.

Martin told me: "To capitulate like that is humiliating and if it doesn't hurt people enough they need to take a look at themselves, simple as that."

Norfolk Police are warning people to stay within the law and show respect this Halloween.

This day last year saw more than 100 extra calls to the force than on an average day in October. 

Police said it can be "distressing" and "intimidating" to have groups of people knocking, particularly for older and vulnerable people.

Supt Malcolm Cooke said: "We remind those taking part to only knock on doors of people you know and where it's clear you are welcome. 

"Any activity which causes deliberate fear or alarm is considered as anti-social behaviour and should be reported to us."

Four people have been arrested after an illegal rave near some 11th Century ruins.

Norfolk Police were called to St Benets Abbey at Horning at 08:00 on Sunday after reports of loud music.

There were about 60 to 70 people and 30 vehicles when officers arrived at the site in The Broads.

In addition to the arrests, two vehicles and all music and sound equipment were seized.

Insp Jerry Wright said: "These types of events cause disruption to the local community, negatively impact on the environment and also affect local land owners.

"People who choose to attend these type of events also expose themselves to risk due to the type of locations where these events take place and also because those in attendance can be affected by alcohol or drugs."
