Things to do!

We’re all having to change our usual ways of living in the current climate. But that doesn’t mean that we have to be bored - and to be honest most of us would relish the opportunity to have some time at home. So let us help inspire you with some ideas to keep busy!

HAVE A SORT OUT - whether it’s your wardrobe, that dreaded cupbord you’ve been ignoring for years or even boxes in the loft from last time you moved!

Charity stores will be grateful for the donations once we are all back out and about!

INDULGE IN SOME SELF CARE - a relaxing bubble bath, manicure and meditation - you’ve got time to treat yourself

GET LOST IN A GOOD BOOK (OR TWO) - with everything so digital these days, reconnect with a paper copy of a favourite or try something different.

There’s bound to be a book lurking in your collection you’ve never got around to reading.

BINGE ON A BOXSET - again whether it’s an old favourite or something totally new. Be entertained!

EXERCISE THE GREY MATTER - puzzles like crosswords, wordsearches and sudoku are great ways to keep your brain sharp.

KEEP A JOURNAL OR DIARY - whether its an online blog or a paper diary, write down your thoughts and what you’ve been doing. As well as good for mental health, it’s a great way to reconnect with writing.

ORGANISE YOUR PHOTOS - most people will have biscuit tins or their computer drive. It’s a great time to relive great memories and organise photos into albums!

LEARN A NEW SKILL OR HOBBY - is there something you’ve been keen to learn but never had the time. With many resources online it’s easier than ever to find information or online learning resources.

READY, STEADY... COOK! Release your inner Delia Smith and cook up a storm in the kitchen. Whether that’s sweet treats or trying out a more complex recipe out of a cook book you’ve never had the time or inclination to create.

DELETE THOSE EMAILS - do you have 1,000,000,001 unread emails sat in your inbox? Dejunk and get them all filed into folders.

SOW YOUR SEEDS! It’s the very start of spring so a great time to get your garden sorted or plant some containers. Whether your preference is flowers or vegetables, growing your own is something to be proud of. Plus it’s great to get some fresh air!

NOT SO TAXING - if you are self employed why not get your tax return in order to avoid the January panic next year!

MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL... have a plan! Days can seem long and monotomous if you don’t have a routine or schedule. Make a list of things you would like to get done - that could be daily tasks as well as longer term projects. Split your days up into sections and fill each with things to do so you have a sort of timetable to keep you on track. If you have children to care for this will be really important to keep them entertained. Put the planner somewhere prominant so everyone knows what’s happening today or even later in the week.

My things to do...

KEEP MOVING - don’t forget to keep active! Pop on your favourite music and dance around the kitchen, find a workout DVD or practical some yoga. Just remember to build active time into your day.

DIG OUT A BOARD GAME - a great way to get the family together for fun! And let’s face it some of them like Monopoly can go on for a while!

REMEMBER TO CONNECT WITH OTHERS - pick up the phone, video call or if you are able to post a letter to friends / family not near you. The elderly inparticular will really appreciate you reaching out.

MAKE TRAVEL PLANS - ok, ok so we aren’t going to be going on far flung holidays for a while but write your dream list of destinations to go in the future.

A strange sight seen again on Somerlea Park in Leabrooks

They were here last year and are returning again this year, what a sight for sore eyes they make, a group of FLAT GREEN LAWN BOWLERS known by the mythical name of the PHOENIX. Thanks to Ripley CVS, Grant funding was awarded to the Phoenix Bowls Club, by a panel of adjudicators, for 5 unemployed people to have the opportunity to join the Phoenix Bowls Club, with coaching provided absolutely free.

These 5 places are open to any person in receipt of benefits over the age of 18. This grant allows The Phoenix Bowls Club to draw down a further 10 places if need be.

So apply now for one of these unique places before they have all gone.

The Committee welcome new players and are actively seeking them, from beginners to experienced league players, so come along and join our members.

The people of Somercotes can once again sit in the park on a hot balmy summer’s evening and watch and enjoy this great game that is open to all, young and old alike.

To join the Phoenix Bowls Club or find out more telephone 01773 438 077 or visit our website www.phoenixbowlsclub.co

South Normanton Community Church is a Bible-believing ‘house church’ which was first formed in 1983.

Since then we have seen many changes – of venue, of leadership, and membership, not least in the last 10 years.

meeting place for young people using it as The Base, run by the SNaP organisation but also for special event like the ladies breakfast, prayer and counselling sessions, men’s events and training days / evenings. It also acts of our main office throughout the week.

Unfortunately the Thrive building is too small to accommodate the whole congregation, so Sunday morning meetings are held in the Carnfield Room, Post Mill Centre.

We host a variety of community events during the year. We have the superb J.B. Gill, popular television host and member of boyband JLS giving an inspiring talk on his career to date and his faith planned for later in the year.

In 2009 our late Pastor, Trevor Whatton, was diagnosed with serious lung disease and in 2015 went to be with the Lord.

God has proved Himself faithful in the last five years. We are blest with a thriving, caring group, keen to serve each other and our community – loving God and our neighbour. We are continuing Trevor’s vision under the leadership of our Senior Pastor, Mark Oldershaw and the leadership team.

The Thrive building (formerly the Cyber Café) was given to South Normanton Community Church by Slimming World founder, Margaret Whittaker. The bustling hub is a popular

We hosted a fantastic women’s event with some truly inspiration leading ladies as guest speakers including Hollyoaks actress Kelle Bryan, former Member of Parliament Nicky Morgan, terror attack survivor Cheryl Stollery and adventurer Dr Rona Mackenzie. Our annual Christmas carol service and nativity are always very popular and a great way to give thanks at that special time of year.

Our church has links with the local Food Bank for individuals and families in need in our community, for which we are always greatful for donations.

Watch this space for more great events and shows for the rest of this 2020!

Method: 1. Put the ginger and garlic in a small food processor or blender, add a few tablespoons of water and blitz until finely chopped.

Ingredients: • 40g fresh root ginger, peeled and roughly chopped • 5 large garlic cloves, peeled • ½ tsp Marmite • 1½ tbsp red miso paste • 2 large onions, sliced • 4 tbsp reduced-salt soy sauce • 200g dried medium egg or soba noodles • Low-calorie cooking spray • 4 skinless and boneless chicken breasts, cut into strips • 125g broccoli, cut into small florets • 125g baby corn, each cut into 5 rounds • 125g shiitake mushrooms, quartered • 100g frozen soya beans (edamame)

2. Put the ginger and garlic paste in a large non-stick saucepan and add the Marmite, miso, half the onions and 400ml boiling water. Stir well and bring to the boil over a high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, adding the soy sauce 1 minute before the end.

3. Meanwhile, cook the noodles according to the pack instructions and drain well.

4. Place a large non-stick wok or frying pan over a high heat and spray with low-calorie cooking spray. Stir-fry the chicken for 5-6 minutes or until cooked through, then transfer to a plate.

6. Return the chicken to the wok and add the sauce and noodles. Bring everything to a simmer, adding a little water if you want it saucier, and serve piping hot.

Book Review

Turmoil and terror in Tudor England. Sounds like Hilary Mantel’s latest prize-winner?

Well actually it’s not; although it could be argued that C J Samson could give Ms Mantel a run for her money with Tombland, the latest story in the series based around Matthew Shardlake, a hunchback lawyer in one of the most torrid periods of English history.

It’s 850 pages long, but absolutely engrossing, fact and fiction blended brilliantly to produce a book built on historical research – Mr Samson has been a historian and a lawyer in his time – but which is a pageturner you can’t wait to dive back into.

This is a historical epic, with so much detail that you feel like you’re personally being absorbed into Tudor life. The plot has the running theme of a number of murders, but intertwined with that is the retelling of a true-life explosive rebellion by the peasantry which threatens the future of the country.

This is the time, just after the death of Henry the Eighth, when England is sliding into war and economic collapse. As always, it’s the people at the bottom who suffer most, particularly when the Tudor gentry are milking the country dry.

If you’ve read any of the Shardlake books before you’ll know that C J Samson is very good at immersing his readers in a compulsively fascinating story with very strong characterisation. If you haven’t read any, you’re in for a treat with this one.

Vintage Rambles a with raf lake and F

This is one of our favourite walks whenever we want to take the boys out for a quick leg stretch. The walk is worth it alone for the great views from the Miner Statue, which is the highest point in Nottinghamshire. Recently, they have cleared some of the trees back, which has improved the visibility even more.

There is so much to recommend this walk. Good trails, parking at a visitors’ centre, where you can get a hot drink and a snack, wooded areas, ponds for the swimmers (just watch our for the swans!) and did I mention the fantastic views! I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

3 mile circular walk from Teversal Visitors Centre, via The Miner at Silverhill Wood Country Park.

A gentle walk for you and your dog. This short length walk should take around 1½ - 2 hours. It is mostly on trails but as ever make sure you wear appropriate footwear for the conditions.

Krafty Kids Stuck indoors and looking for some easy activities to keep the kids busy? Don’t worry as James (age 6), our resident ‘Krafty Kids Konsultant’, is at hand with some quick projects you can all try at home with the kids using stuff you have in your arts stash or around the house!

Fluffy Bu nny

Egg Carton Caterpillars

What you’ll need: • Card loo roll inner (!)

• Paint • Black felt tip pen • Cotton wool balls • Glue • Decorations - if you want to!

What you’ll need: • Empty card egg carton • Green paint • Straw or pipe cleaner • Pencil or ball point pen • Decorations - you choose!

How to make it: • Take a clean loo roll or kitchen roll cardboard inner • Paint the inner with whatever colour you want to!

• While you are waiting for the paint to dry, get some colourful card and cut out two identical thin oval shapes for the ears.

• Using a different coloured piece of card cut out two slightly smaller ovals to the previous ones • Glue the smaller ovals in the centre of the larger ones • Next put a line of glue all around the edge of the front of your ear shapes and stick on little pieces of cotton wool • Stick the completed ears to your painted inner • Make your bunny face with felt pens and any decorations you choose, like googly eyes!

Fu nky Frog Door Hanger What you’ll need: • Thin card • White paper • Black felt tip pen • Glue & sticky tape • Things to trace around!

How to make it: • Take the empty egg carton and carefully cut the base cut longways down the middle (you don’t need the lid).

• Take one of the sections and paint green all over. Leave to dry.

• Using the pencil/pen make two small holes in one of the front sections of your egg carton shape for the caterpillar’s feelers.

• Cut two sections of drinking straw or pipe cleaner (about 5cm each) and carefully push through the holes you just made.

• Next to decorate! Get creative to decorate your caterpillar! Draw on or use googly eyes, then stick on shapes or use felt tips to make your caterpillar super funky!

James’ Room

How to make it: • Take a piece of card and cut three identical length strips for the arms and legs. One of these strips should be cut in half to make shorter lengths for the arms. Zig zag fold each of the strips.

• Cut out feet and hand shapes like shown in the picture and stick one to the end of each arm/leg strip.

• Trace around a teaplate and cut out to make the main body shape, then using a different colour cut out a slightly smaller circle.

• Stick the smaller circle onto the larger one as shown.

• Stick the arms and legs onto the body shape.

• Draw an oval shape onto a piece of card and before cutting out draw on two small circles at the top for the eyes.

• Trace and cut out two smaller circles on white paper for the eyes.

Using a black felt pen draw on the eyes. Stick onto the face shape at the top. Draw on the nose and mouth.

• Stick the head to the top of the body shape.

• Take a length of string and attach to the top of the head ready to hang on your door! Why not write your name on frog’s tummy?

28

Fingerprint Sheep Card What you’ll need: • Colourful card • Paint • Black felt tip pen • Small plastic plate

How to make it: • Fold your piece of card in half • Put a small amount of white paint on the plastic plate • Dip your fingertip in the paint and then press onto the card to make a fingerprint • Repeat until you have created the body of the sheep • Using your thumb dipped in the paint make the sheep’s head with a thumbprint • When the paint is dry use the black felt tip to draw your sheep’s legs, eyes, nose and ears.

• If you want to add some flowers to your card then use a different coloured paint using your fingertip to create the petals and middles of the flower.

For any activity always remember to supervise children using scissors or do the cutting bit for them.

Keeping Kids Busy As we write this the majority of schools are still operating normally however given the uncertainty of where we are things are changing rapidly. If you find yourself in the situation of having your children at home, there are resources to help you get through it!

It’s understandable that children are going to feel anxious about what is happening and the ongoing news coverage. And for most adults it’s a worrying time financially and managing to keep going as normally as possible. We need to keep in mind that even relatively small changes in routine can be very overwhelming for children so its crucial to try and portray this as an adventure to reassure them everything will be fine.

There are lots of resources out there to help you plan and schedule, particularly if you are also trying to work from home as well as occupy youngsters. We’ve found this fab itinerary online of a sample daily routine which can be flexed to your own circumstances.

We are pretty sure schools will, if it does come to closures, have arrangements for work children can do but below are some free online home schooling websites you can access to help. We will post ideas and share links to our own Voice Magazines social media pages for as long as this situation continues: www.tts-group.co.uk

www.scholastic.com/learnathome www.home-education.org.uk

www.twinkl.co.uk (offering some free resources) Tutoring company Kip McGrath can provide online tutoring for primary and secondary school age children. Contact them for more information: www.kipmcgrath.co.uk/online-tutoring If you have babies and toddlers check out social media as many activity providers are doing video sessions so you can still do things with your little one whilst classes are not running.

Make sure you also take some time for yourself. This is very stressful time for parents and self care is so important.

Fings Ain’t Wot They Used to Be (Part 2)

Whether or not we’ve personally worked in an office, we all have an idea of the type of working environment that the current office worker enjoys/endures. At least the cynics among us think they do. They’re convinced that anyone working in an office is inappropriately dressed and disinterested as they bang away at keyboards all day long occasionally looking up and behind to see if ‘the boss’ is standing watching before:a) placing an online order with Amazon b) checking Facebook or other social media formats c) finding out the latest Test score from Lord’s d) sending an email to their best friend........ or e) .................. getting on with some work.

If they’re not typing, they will invariably be on the telephone chatting away to a client, supplier, colleague at the other end of the office, the canteen to order their lunch or.................their Mum. Even though work place discipline has changed radically over the years, despite the views of the cynics, it is certainly not like that for the vast majority of hard working office workers. I know, I was one once. There have however, been many changes since I started.

For example, it’s difficult to accept today but it was not that long ago that not only were over half of your colleagues likely to be smokers, they were able

40

to indulge their habit whilst at work. Non-smokers, whether they liked it or not, just had to put up with it, and without being aware of it at the time, were later to be classified as ‘passive’ smokers.

Nowadays, whilst sitting at your desk, you can send items for copying with a few keyboard strokes. An industrial sized photocopier, somewhere in the building, will generate as many copies as you request at a rate of about 100/minute. My generation had to make do (and have lots of messy fun!) with a Gestetner duplicating machine. If you’re not sure what one of those is you can Google it but please............ not while you’re at work!

These days, it’s easy to send documents as email attachments to anywhere in the world. Can you imagine how Emily would feel if I rang her and said I was just about to send over this article and could she please “Stand by the fax machine”? How much time did we waste while waiting for those?

Office life is much less formal than it used to be. Not only did all male workers have to wear a suit and tie but, and It’s hard to believe now, female office workers had to come to work dressed like a maiden aunt, with some employers insisting that when (NB - not if) the young lady concerned married, she had to give up her job.

Yes, things have certainly changed for the better and let’s just be thankful for that.

Gardener’s Calendar

So much to do in the garden this month. The possibility of frost means it’s too early really to think about putting out summer bedding, but daffs, tulips, heathers and winter pansies should still be providing plenty of colour so you can concentrate on the other stuff.

After primroses have finished flowering is the time to lift and divide to create more for next year. Forsythia should be pruned back to strong young shoots once it’s flowered and you should trim winter flowering heather once it’s gone over to stop it getting too leggy.

r

The lawn will appreciate a high nitrogen fertiliser and being aerated with a fork to give the roots room to breathe. Cut on a high setting so you’re not pulling it out by the roots.

Prick out seedlings, lifting from the base of the shoot. Pinch out the growing tips of fuchsias and sweet peas to encourage bushy plants.

Direct sow hardy annuals such as poppies and nigella into the soil now and start to harden off tender seedlings in the garden on a warm day. Bring back into warmer conditions at night. Cosmos, which are half hardy, can go out from the end of this month into May, so long as you have a sheltered spot.

TOP TIP!

Tie in climbing roses as horizontal as possible to encourage more side-shoots as they try to grow upwards, hence more flowers. Feed roses of all kind with fish blood and bone, hoeing it into the soil.

Springtime brings the Woodland Flowers…

Across the Peak District, by the late spring and early summer, the ancient woodlands resound with birdsong and become resplendent with wild flowers such as bluebells, wood anemones, wood sorrel, and more. Damp and shady woods have the yellow lesser celandine and then the underappreciated but very pretty, golden saxifrage, and the ever-pungent wild garlic. The wild flowers tinge the entire woodland atmosphere Red Campion with a glorious ‘garlic’ fragrance. However, if you do not like garlic then best avoid! Our oak and bluebell woods with an understory of holly and hazel are famous for their sweet-smelling bluebells and the blue haze that carpets some of these former coppice woods.

These are the spring or ‘vernal’ flowers evolved to burst through into bloom during the window of opportunity, before the oak Wild Garlic canopy closes and blots out the sun. By the later summer, the woodland floor is often in dense shade and the ground may also be parched; conditions that lead to many flowers finishing early and dying back.

Never fear though, they will return next year.

Bluebell

The woodland flora follows a regular pattern each year with the first up being lesser celandines, followed by the beautiful wood anemones, and then bluebells, the brilliant white greater stitchwort, and garlic, with saxifrage, wood sorrel, and yellow archangel. The latter is so-called because its yellow flowers with splayed-

out petals looks like the figure of a heavenly ‘archangel’. Later in the summer come the under-stated woodland orchid, the common helleborine, the glorious red campion, and of Sorrel course the climbing stems of fragrant honeysuckle. These are good flowers to watch along a sunny woodland edge in late summer just in case there is a passing hawk moth drawn by the heavy honeysuckle scent. In years to come, expect the climbing woodland flowers to include wild clematis or old man’s beard, but so far, this is still rather uncommon in the Peak – but it is spreading. Clematis is a southern plant that has moved northwards with climate-change warming, and a timely marker of bigger changes afoot.

By later summer, the woods will be quieter in terms of singing birds but full of recently fledged youngsters of many species. Groups of blue tits, great tits, and long-tailed tits begin to form into flocks that range around a wide Yellow Archangel area to forage for food.

However, in the woodlands, there will be family groups of great spotted woodpeckers, and where open heath or grassland is nearby perhaps there will be green woodpeckers too. The latter thrive in woodlands with giant anthills of the rare hairy wood ant. Both green woodpeckers and jays seek out the ants’ nests. Not only do they hoover Anemone up the ant larvae but they entice the ants to spray their feathers with stinging formic acid, which appears to both control feather parasites and be an enjoyable experience too!
