My main aim is to offer clear, honest and accessible advice to individuals, families and businesses. I hear time and time again: "But I'm not Wealthy..."

"I'm afraid I'm not doing the right things with my money."

"I don't want to be burdened with details."

"I just want to simplify everything. It's too hard to keep on top of everything."

"I need to talk to someone who knows what they're talking about."

I offer a no obligation initial meeting as I feel it is important to get to know you and your circumstances first, to see if I can add value. We can then agree if we want to look at working together.

You are more than welcome to come and visit me at my new office, or alternatively I am happy to come and see you at your home or business..

Colin Papworth is delighted to announce that he’s the new owner of the podiatry clinic in Hathersage. Formerly known as the Gait Garage owned by David Nichols for over 11 years, the clinic has built a good reputation throughout the Hope Valley.

Colin lives in Hope and currently has two successful clinics in Chesterfield and Sheffield. When Colin saw the clinic was up for sale he immediately thought, what a great opportunity to work closer to home whilst having the chance to own an already established business in the beautiful Hope Valley.

Colin has been qualified since 1999 and is HCPC registered with many Insurance companies, he told the Voice Magazine, “I’ll be continuing to offer all the services that you would expect from the podiatry clinic; chiropody and assessment of painful feet. My area of expertise is with the analysis of movements when walking and running and understanding why somebody suffered the injury”.

During your initial appointment Colin will discuss your symptoms and then carry out an examination which may include looking how you stand, walk, and if able, run. Colin also told us the importance of seeing and understanding how somebody moves and how they load their body, this way he can better understand what triggers the pain and is then able to develop an appropriate treatment plan.

“By studying the whole body I may be able to help with not just foot pain, but any other pain in your body that is caused by the way you move, so, if your back, front of your hips, knees and of course, feet are painful following activity then this is something I can help with”.

Treatments can vary depending on the issue but can include, hands on mobilisation of joints and soft tissues, changing the way you walk and / run, rehabilitation exercises, shockwave, orthoses (I have access to some brilliant 3D laser sintered devices) and we will also discuss how much activity it is safe for you to do.

Please do keep referring to my website for the latest information. We’re always updating the site with fresh and up to date content about our various services.

I shall also be offering more services such as yoga, Pilates and bike fitting. Bookings can be done online or give me a call to discuss. If you are on Instagram, then have a look at my dog walking pictures with my dog Pip @colpod.

Book Review

Margaret Atwood – The Testaments

Reading a sequel can be a bit daunting. Especially when there’s been a 34 year gap between books and the original is as famous and highly regarded as Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale.

But fear not. The Testaments is a superb follow-up. Without giving anything away, it manages to give hope to a story which has seemed unremittingly bleak. And of course great glimpses into the workings of the crooked wood of humanity.

Atwood has said that most of the inspiration for the story has been everything readers wrote to her about the original book, everything that we wanted to know about Gilead, everything that we thought Gilead reflected in the world.

The book seems particularly relevant in this time of Me Too, Fake News and the frenetic pace of our lives and Atwood says the other part of her inspiration is the world we have been living in.

As always she writes beautifully, jumping between three witness accounts which in the end begin to merge into one very satisfying ending.

The questions about Gilead, about its place in the world and how it could exist in our world now make sense.

A worthy Booker prize winner and a really good read.

A Will is not enough: Why you should make your LASTING POWERS OF ATTORNEY now…

Hopefully we all know the importance of making a suitable Will… it shows you care enough about what happens to your assets once you’ve died. But… shouldn’t you care just as much about keeping your assets and yourself safe while you are alive? If you are unable to manage your own affairs… a Will is not enough. The legal documents you need in place are called “Lasting Powers of Attorney”. They allow the people YOU choose now rather than someone appointed by the Court of Protection to deal with decisions in two key areas: your Property/Financial affairs and your Health/Welfare matters.

There may come a time in your life when you are unable to manage your financial affairs or personal welfare, owing to some form of incapacity and you will need someone to act on your behalf. Even when we are young, we can find ourselves incapacitated owing to illness or injury and it can be invaluable having a trusted, reliable person who is able to manage your personal affairs and remove the anxiety of having unpaid bills, at a time when you most need peace of mind.

Similarly, as we get older, the need for attorneys increases as we are more prone to illness and injuries. Sadly, sometimes people fall into the trap of thinking “I’ll get something sorted when I start feeling a bit iffy”… but an unexpected stroke, accident or illness can take anyone by surprise, regardless of their age or health.

Only by creating Lasting Powers of Attorney now ensures that if the worst were to happen, you can rest assured that both your financial affairs and personal welfare are in safe hands.

It’s vital to understand that you cannot make a Lasting Power of Attorney once you’ve lost capacity – by then its too late and your family will face a lengthy and expensive court process to be able to deal with your affairs.

•

Loss of mobility or illness can make it difficult to manage your affairs.

•

The prospect of unpaid bills can cause unnecessary stress and anxiety and delay someone’s recovery.

•

Even the young can encounter problems due to accident or illness.

•

Minor children could be taken into Care whilst Guardians are appointed.

•

An elderly relative losing capacity is difficult enough for loved ones to deal with, without the added worry that finances are becoming muddled.

We Enter the Age of Metal The last article covered the Neolithic period, a time when our ancient ancestors were just beginning to form permanent settlements and create the stone circles and burial mounds we still see in evidence today.

About 2000 to 2500 years BC, another influx of settlers from Europe began to arrive in Britain and they had developed one important technological advance – metal working, specifically bronze.

Many of these new arrivals also brought with them a unique form of pottery, bell shaped pots archaeologists named ‘beakers’ which led to them being christened the ‘Beaker Folk’. DNA analysis of remains indicates that this particular wave of immigrants largely replaced the original inhabitants of these islands.

The Beaker Folk were farmers and they formed settled communities up and down the UK, including in Derbyshire. In the Peak District there are signs of bronze age settlements at Swine Sty to the west of Big Moor and many other locations. Perhaps one of the most notable being at Mam Tor where there’s evidence of a fortified enclosure that was initiated during the bronze age and continued right into the iron age.

Our bronze age ancestors continued the tradition of monument and megalith building which began in the Neolithic…who knows if they adopted the religious/spiritual practices of the existing populace or simply adopted the existing structures for their own beliefs?

However, by around 1200 BC the practice of building stone circles seems to stop.

Another thing they brought to Britain was the practice of individual burials, often with’ grave goods’ being placed with the body. Prior to this time it was more common for burial cairns to contain multiple remains (usually just the de-fleshed bones).

Back to the reason this era is called the bronze age…the first use of metal! Bronze is an alloy of tin and copper and interestingly there’s evidence of prehistoric copper mining at Wetton – which although in Staffordshire is still in the Peak District.

Perhaps that’s one of the reasons this region became home to the Beaker Folk? Lead mining also seems to have occurred in the area, as an axe made of lead was discovered at Mam Tor (not sure how useful that would have been though!).

By the late bronze age our ancestors were producing beautifully crafted blades, axes and spear heads by pouring the molten metal into casts created from clay or stone moulds.

They were living in fixed settlements or small villages in roundhouses made of wattle and daub with grass thatched roofs, growing crops and practicing animal husbandry.

Fabric was being woven or knitted from wool and jewellery in the form of pins and brooches would have been used to fasten cloaks and capes.

About 800 BC in the UK, the use of bronze was being replaced by iron, not because it is any stronger or more durable than bronze (contrary to popular opinion) but because it is actually easier to find iron ore than tin, which is needed in the production of bronze.

And so we enter the Iron Age… These articles are researched and written by Laura Billingham, a local content writer and author. Laura moved the Peak District several years ago to pursue her passion for writing.

Hope Valley Business Zoo Business Networking @HNBZ Networking

Do’s and Don’ts

Business owners may avoid networking for several reasons. Rigid, ‘must always bring referrals and never miss a session’ kind of events seem like hard work.

Do spend some time working on ‘your pitch’, usually 30-60 seconds is required.

Large yearly membership fees plus additional weekly meeting payments quickly add up and, if you’re just starting, out these can seem like just another unjustifiable expense.

However, networking has changed yes, the ‘old style’ membership ones still exist but there are plenty of pay as you attend groups around and everyone who runs their own business should factor in attending meetings on a regular basis.

Do ensure that you mention exactly what you are looking for – e.g. the type of business or client you would like to meet.

OPEN Mon-Fri 9am-5.30pm POST OFFICE Sat 9am-12.30pm Services we offer are:

Cash Withdrawal • Cash & Cheque Deposit Postal Services • ParcelForce inc. Large Parcels • Car Tax Bill Payments inc. Council Tax Online Returns with QR Code Euros on Demand • Other Currency Pre Order Next Day Travel Money Cards

Do attend meetings regularly, dipping in and out won’t help you build relationships.

Do refer business to people you network with – reciprocity is the name of the game!

Do follow up with people – networking is not just about handing out business cards.

Don’t launch straight into a sales pitch.

Don’t expect results (i.e. sales) immediately, it could take several months Don’t speak to only one person or group – ensure you talk to as many other attendees as possible.

Don’t GIVE UP

Gardener’s Calendar

This can seem like a daunting time of year for us gardeners, but there are things to do at a practical level – and of course you can start reading the plant catalogues to see what to try this year.

Outside, remove old hellebore leaves so you can see the new growth and the bobbing flowers as they emerge. You can also prune rose bushes if you haven’t done so already. They’re still dormant so don’t mind the invasion. Cut just above a bud on a slant so rain doesn’t pool on the cut.

If you do venture across grass, try to avoid doing so when it’s frosty as this can scorch and leave brown marks. Lawns can get waterlogged and compacted by rain right now, so if that’s the case, spike them and brush in sharp sand and compost to help the roots stay healthy.

r

Watch that pots under eaves or right against the house haven’t dried out or got compacted by rain dropping from roofs. Grit on the surface helps retain moisture and stops clumping.

Stripped branches of Christmas trees make good support sticks for the growing season or they can be shredded for mulch.

TOP TIP!

Houseplants may be suffering a bit with central heating which dries the air.

Misting helps. Small misting bottles are available everywhere, you don’t need anything expensive.

ROADSWEEPING

The Wild Deer of the Peak District …..

Picking up the story of the Peak’s wild deer, this article looks at the recent spread. Excitingly, in the last few years they have been heading from the high moors to which they were introduced, downhill into Holmesfield, Dronfield, and Sheffield in the east, and Curbar, Calver, Eyam, and Grindleford in the west. Further north a feral herd established in the 1940s from the medieval chase at Wharncliffe, and over in the west around Buxton, the same happened with a herd at Wildboar Clough.

Alongside the native parkland red deer are the beautiful fallow introduced from the Mediterranean firstly by the Romans and later by the Normans.

This is another herd animal and well-suited to life in woodland or in ornamental parks. As a decorative species to show off to your neighbours Fallow tick the boxes as really pretty, often with white dappling, and in the case of the bucks, spectacular antlers too. Like reds the fallows have an autumn rut when males display against each other and build-up and defend breeding harems of does. The males get very worked up and have favoured trees or shrubs that they ‘stand’ at and thrash with their antlers plus muddy pools where they wallow. The males snort and grunt at each other as they ‘parallel walk’ side-by-side each weighing up their opponent to see whether it is worthwhile entering the contest.

Every so often the serious business begins and they noisily lock antlers and battle commences. Mostly the inferior male gives way and runs off, but serious injuries and fatalities can occur with both red and fallow.

Fallow deer are easy to spot at Chatsworth where they generally keep away from the bigger red deer.

Down by the river close to the old mill is a good spot. They stay on the far side of the river away from the visiting hordes. However, there is a nearby ‘wild’ or at least long-term feral herd of black or ‘melanistic’ fallow deer. Originating as a medieval herd from the old deer park at Stanton-in-the-Peak, these are pretty common around Matlock Bath, Darley Dale, and further west.

For more information check out www.ukeconet.org and also https://ianswalkonthewildside.wordpress.com Please do send in records, photographs, or video clips of deer in and around the area. I would love to hear from you!
