So, last month I mentioned my birthday celebrations and wow, wasn’t it an awesome birthday! If you haven’t already, I would recommend trying axe throwing! It’s only a bit scary on occasions (they are pretty sharp and the different throwing techniques saw one of our party take a chunk out of his top!) but a great stress reliever and shed loads of fun for people of all ages! As a second super treat, I got to visit the Sheffield Steelers Ice Hockey Team. Now, I hadn’t even been to Ice Hockey at all until last year and now I am a total fan. Again, this is a great day out for all the family and I can’t stress enough how easy this fast paced, high adrenaline, testosterone filled game is to get enthralled and enveloped in, to the point that you can’t wait for the next weeks game so that you can go and enjoy it all over again! I’m hopeful that next season we’re going to work with the Steelers a little closer and be able to offer tickets and all sorts for our fab readers and like I say, it is a prize worth winning!

Peaks area, attending almost all of the Business Zoo meetings. We’ve wished him well in his future endeavours and we have big shoes to fill but the rest of the team will try our hardest until we find a solid replacement.

Finally, the April edition is our Easter edition but bear in mind that Easter is 2 weeks into that issue, so if you’ve missed advertising your event in this edition, you still have time for next month, so get your events if you haven’t already.

Ooh and if you know anyone that is interested in distributing in Frogatt from this month and going forward…..please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Happy Reading,

Slimming World Recipe Chicken Tikka Kebabs with Pitta Having a kebab always feels like a treat. So why not treat yourself with this fabulous Slimming World recipe. This dish is perfectly complemented with a tasty side salad.

Serves: 4

Ready in: 25 minutes

Syns per serving: 7 (deduct 7 Syns if using Pitta Bread wholemeal as a healthy extra ‘b’ choice)

Method: 1. Put the chicken in a freezer bag (or a glass or stainless-steel bowl) with the curry powder, yogurt and garlic. Season with salt and stir to combine.

2. Seal the bag or cover the bowl with cling film and marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour or overnight.

3. For the salad, put the cucumber, radishes, celery and lettuce in a bowl. Mix together the yogurt and chopped coriander, season, then stir through the salad.

4. Preheat your grill to high. Lift the chicken out of the marinade, letting any excess drain off, then thread onto 4 metal skewers. Place on a baking tray lined with foil and grill for 10-12 minutes, turning halfway, or until the chicken is lightly charred and cooked through.

5. Toast the pitta breads. Scatter the coriander sprigs over the chicken skewers and serve with 1 pitta bread per person with the salad and lemon wedges for squeezing over.

For more information visit www.slimmingworld.co.uk

What Did The Romans Ever Do For Us? The Romans first landed on the shores of Britain in 54/55BC but it was 43 AD before they finally sent a conquering force.

By 69 AD the Romans finally reached the Peak District, after conquering and capturing resistant tribes along the way. They were drawn to the area, despite what must have to them seemed cold, wet and inhospitable terrain, by the plentiful sources of lead ore.

and then rebuilt in stone. It appears to have guarded a river crossing and parts of it are still visible today. From Navio the (Roman) roads went north west to a larger fort, Melandra near modern day Glossop and south to Buxton – known to the Roman’s as Aqua Arnemetiae.

The captured tribespeople were forced to take part in massive infrastructure improvements – aka road building – and as the famously straight roads were constructed, farmsteads grew up alongside to grow the crops required to feed an army and its workforce.

The warm spring waters (a constant 27.5° c) must have seemed like a gift from the gods to the Roman’s shivering in the chilly damp of the Peak District. Like the indigenous population, the invaders believed the warm spring waters to be sacred and named them Arnemetiae after a Celtic goddess. Pinching local deities was seen as a good way to ingratiate themselves!

Tracks of these roads are still apparent today, and we still use one of them, albeit now it now has tarmac in place of stones…the A515 south of Buxton.

Derby

There are several known occupation sites or forts within the area. Chesterfield or Castrafeld as the Roman’s called the town, at its height was thought to have been home to up to 1000 soldiers and their families, whilst two civilian settlements grew outside the walls. As the north of the country was finally subdued, Castrafelds necessity as a kind of mid-point staging post lessened and the fort was abandoned about 175 AD. Closer to home, tiny Brough in the heart of the Hope Valley was known as Navio and was the location for a fort built initially in wood

Pieces of fine pottery, glass and coins have been found in Buxton and it’s likely that the springs were utilised in much the same way as at the bath house in Aquae Sulis (Bath Spa).

Although no trace of any buildings remain today, in 1695 lead covered timber resembling a cistern was unearthed around the area now known as The Crescent.

The eagle eyed may have noticed a place called Lutadorum on the small map above.

We know the name from markings found on blocks of lead known as ‘pigs’ which indicate some kind of administrative centre. Although the exact location isn’t known, archaeologists think it is somewhere between Matlock and Wirksworth.

The Roman Empire continued to grow and change, eventually adopting Christianity but by around the 3rd century their power was diminishing in the face of repeated ‘barbarian attacks’. Early in the 4th century virtually the entire Roman army was withdrawn from Britain, leaving the country ripe for attack by Germanic tribes…

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.

Your Local, family business you can rely on

‘Me’ – Elton John

Elton John has never claimed to aim for the understated so it’s not too surprising that his autobiography is called Me. He writes that the great thing about rock and roll is that someone like him, a chubby kid from Pinner in Essex named Reg, can be a star. Though to be fair to him, he’s written some brilliantly catchy stuff and as a performer he’s the real deal.

And this story has got the lot. From his early days of having his songs rejected while he trailed round northern clubs playing two gigs a night as a pianist in bands that were going nowhere, to gold and platinum albums, friendships with Freddie Mercury, Rod Stewart Princess Di and Versace and bizarrely disco dancing with the Queen.

And the memoir is not shy about his equally rackety personal life. Drugs, sex, gossip (the more scurrilous the better). Not for nothing was the film his husband David Furnish made about Elton called tantrums and tiaras. Me is a really funny and sometimes shocking tale.

But the thing that stops this just being a parade of rock star memories and excess – and there is plenty of that - is his total brutal honesty about the bad bits of his life, the suicide attempts, the temper, the drug, booze, shopping and food addictions. And how he, just about, managed to survive it all and remain still standing, as the song goes.

This isn’t a sanitized version of his life. It’s warts and all, but he emerges as a paid-up human being. Good stuff.

I USE TOP BRANDS OF PAINT, BUT MAINLY FARROW & BALL, THESE ARE NOW MUCH IMPROVED & VERSATILE

Gardener’s Calendar

We should start getting enough warmth into the soil for spring growth to really take off round about now.

You can plant summer bulbs such as lilies, gladioli and agapanthus, but remember that most like sun – the results won’t be good if they’re in shade. They should be planted two to three times their depth and at least one bulb’s width apart.

Re-pot pelargoniums and fuchsias which you have overwintered and increase watering but don’t put them directly out into the garden for a couple of months.

ROADSWEEPING

Top-dress containers by removing the top five centimetres (two inches) of compost and replace with new.

r

Cut cornus grown for winter colour right back to the base so it will produce again next year and cut buddleia back hard before the sap rises.

Slugs love tender new growth. You can buy nematodes, a parasite which will kill them, from garden centres. They are watered into the soil once the temperature reaches 5°C and are safe to use where there are animals and children. Neither do they harm other forms of wildlife. Use (and empty daily well away from anyone’s garden!) scooped-out orange or grapefruit skins turned upside-down as traps. If growing slug-vulnerable seedlings try putting in a pot and cover with a cloche rather than directly into the soil and then transplant later. And if you really love hostas, also grow in pots.

Look out for the Peak District Owls…

Across the Peak District, spring brings a flush of new growth of vegetation and a flurry of activity from birds, mammals, and other wildlife. Woods and hedges resound to the songs and calls of small birds, and there is a hum of bumblebees and honeybees. Woodland wildflowers burst into life, and around the heather moors and the limestone dales there is abundant evidence of nature stirring. Amid all Little Owl this wealth of activity, it is worth watching out for some of our most iconic and striking wild birds – the owls. Several of these gorgeous bird species are back in the Peak and doing rather well. Indeed, with talk of ‘rewilding’, a part of the idea is to reconstruct broken foodchains i.e. the loss of both birds of prey and larger carnivorous mammals. With a little help, nature is doing much of this itself and we have, for example, both otter and polecat back in the Peak. There is talk of bringing back the pine marten but the truth is that it never went away – at least not fully! This stunning member of the weasel family has hung on in the north-eastern part of the region.

Several birds of prey have also returned or recovered in numbers, and the owls are Tawny Owl amongst them. Both barn owl and short-eared owl are now regularly seen in areas like the Eastern Moors estate for example. From the threshold of the Grouse Inn at Froggatt you have a chance of barn owls over the

wildflower meadows managed by the National Trust, and displaying shorteared owls over the nearby moorland edge.

Breeding short-eared owls do vary year to year as they follow the numbers of their prey - the short-tailed voles. Increasingly Barn Owl though, I do get records sent in of barn owls, for example from a back-garden in Holmesfield or close by Owler Bar roundabout! Our most common owl is the surprisingly large tawny, a denizen of woods and parklands but equally at home hunting at dusk over moorland and bog. Formerly common and widespread, this is another bird on the cusp of a troubling decline so much so that the British Trust for Ornithology conducted a national survey last year.

Look out for them on telegraph poles and around rocky areas on the moorland fringes; being tiny, they are easy to miss.
