Halloween & Bonfire night is going to be a bit different this year!

As I write, it seems awfully likely (as I think everyone predicted), that this virus will kick in again during the coming winter months. Irrespective of anyone’s views, in one way or another, this will affect a lot of people’s lives – be it health (both mentally and physically), income/job losses, families and issues that many of us will never understand. 2020 has already been a tough road and it’s still pretty rocky.

What we do know though is that the clocks will still go back on the 25th October, the world will keep turning, the sun will rise every day and seasons will pass. We all have to stay positive and safe, because what’s the alternative?!

It got me thinking this month, this majorly overly used phrase - ‘the new normal?’

Everyone is using it (me included) but consider what your ‘new normal’ looks like? Take some time to consider what ‘normal’ is for you and what you are in such a rush to get back to? Maybe we should take this opportunity to find a ‘better’ normal in future.

For as long as we can and for as long as it is safe to do so, we will bring you your monthly magazines. As I’ve said before, all the lovely people inside need

your help to keep their businesses going throughout this rocky year and we need those fabulous businesses to keep our business going….almost every business we have spoken with has adopted coronavirus measures to their businesses to allow them to still be able to trade – so please keep them going.

If we do go missing for a month or so, you know why! But, we’ve popped a nice little walk in, some puzzles and articles to keep you going.

Until the next time, Stay safe,

Emily x PS: Don’t forget to mention the ‘Voice’ when you use any of the companies in this magazine

From the Editor

Sutton Heritage Society

CONSERVATIVE CLUB The Conservative and Unionist Working Men’s Club was built on land given by the Unwin Heathcote family in 1903. Three members of the same family joined together to gift the land, Col. Heathcote, his brother and cousin. Prior to the building of the club, the group of men met in any local hostelry.

The local organisation for a Constitutional

and Conservative Association was formed in 1881. The Railway Inn was the place where it was originally set up.

The foundation stone was laid in 1904 by Col. A Unwin Heathcote. The club was established principally to educate young men in politics, and opened in 1905

THE RILEY FOUNDATION PRESENTS:

OUR NEW CENTRE

We’ve been really busy again and we are nearly ready!

Thankfully the weather has been kind to us and we’ve made some progress outdoors with having the fences painted, which look nice and smart.

Indoors, we’ve had an accessible toilet fitted complete with changing bed.

However, my most favourite addition has been the innovative lighting, which has been fitted by Jamie at Electro Technical UK Ltd. I can’t wait for you all to see it, it has given Jamie a few headaches but it is well worth it!

The Kitchen has finally been completed and is ready to go and our integration room is really nearly completed with the climbing wall, swings, cargo nets and much more, in situ!

With the Centre nearly ready for opening, we don’t

want to delay any longer. It is such a shame that we can’t have the big opening that we had envisaged and planned for BUT there is still going to be plenty of opportunity to visit us and meet the team.

We are now looking for partners, sponsors and donations. As we move towards opening, we are looking for help and collaborations in all sorts of fields of expertise. We’ve made some excellent partnerships already but there is always space for more.

We are launching our new website imminently, which is really exciting news. Especially for any partners/ collaborators as you’ll get a nice little mention and link to your website.

Please email melanie.ceo@therileyfoundation. co.uk, if you want to receive our newsletter, which will contain updates, room ava i l a b i l i t y, offers and exclusive invites for open days

IDEAL… (I)NCLUSION. (D)ISABILITY. (E)QUALITY. (A)WARENES.. (L)IFE!

The Old School. Spring St. Hucknall.

NG15 7BZ. Tel: 07584 753608 OUR MISSION: TO PROVIDE THE TOOLS & SPACE NEEDED TO LET YOURSELF GO. CONNECT MIND, BODY & SOUL. THROUGH SPECIALISED MUSIC & MOVEMENT THERAPY PROGRAMS & ACTIVITIES I’m Jai. My reason for creating Bodrumorphix was personal. I know what feeling isolated, alone, judged, different & desperate is like. The inner turmoil. Suffering in silence. Hating myself with nowhere to turn. Despite my background in Psychotherapy, everything looked & felt different when the shoe was on the other foot & I was the one needing what I usually gave clients.

challenge, but it’s one I wouldn’t change.

From this, I wanted to support others by designing something different, including something I’d noticed lacking out there…

EQUALITY! INCLUSION! EMPATHY! FUN! I made sure Bodrumorphix activities & programs were inclusive, regardless.

Mental & physical health alike aren’t ignored here, or pushed to one side as though they don’t matter or exist!

We specialise in activities/well-being programs that are unique - connecting MIND, BODY & SOUL, i.e. the CRUCIAL key to achieving & sustaining realistic, manageable goals!

I had to take control of my life, Only I could make the changes needed. I used the cruelty & negativity as my focus, drive & motivation.

So, if you’re tired of suffering in silence, feeling wound up, holding everything in & find it impossible to express, speak up & be heard. Or, feel no one understands you/no one has the time…THINK AGAIN!

I tried every ‘quick fix’ out there. I was vulnerable & desperate so I bought into it all. I tried every exercise, but nothing grabbed me enough to motivate me.

That made me more determined.

There IS somewhere for YOU! We will offer support, whilst providing a safe, friendly space. Discover your inner voice. Break free of any chains holding you back.

Then, I found something that DID give me that ‘rush’, that sense of belonging.

For me, it was Spinning®.

UK exclusive Bodrums/Bongo’s & other drums, FX Visuals, Glow Fun, LED Poi’s, Sensory Lighting/effects, Unique music mixes, Rhythm, Mini trampolines, LED Firestix, Devil Stix, Spinner® Shift bikes, UV reactive gear & more!

Letting GO on that bike & finding a ‘release’. I finally felt complete on that bike. I forgot about size & social pressure.

My journey took an unexpected detour.

THAT’S when I realised it WASN’T about weight/size! Without my MIND in shape, I didn’t stand a chance!

After losing 11 stone, I’m now a qualified Certified Advanced Spinning® Coach & Personal Trainer.

There was no ‘quick fix’, but with will power & sheer determination, I made changes to ‘morph’ into who I am today. The whole process was a mental

Barriers may be gently pushed/broken along the way, but for sure...YOU WON’T get the fun, or the results you want without giving Bodrumorphix a go! Nor, will you feel less stressed OR get our Mind/Soul & Body programs ANYWHERE else!

And, with our new MOBILE sessions available, there really is no excuse. We’ll come to you!

So, isn’t it time to MAKE SOME NOISE?!!!

Vintage Rambles a with raf lake and F

This month’s walk is one of our favourites. Unfortunately, the Mill and the Falls at Lumsdale are closed off at the moment as vital preservation work is required.

Despite this most of the footpaths are open and this is still a fantastic walk. I have also left the alternative instructions in for the original walk (Point 7a, in red) so you can keep it for when the falls are open again.

3½ mile circular from Tansley Church Via Lumsdale A moderate walk for you and your dog. Although relatively short this walk has some steep inclines/declines. It should take around 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Be careful on roads and as ever make sure you wear a good pair of boots, particularly if it has been wet.

START: Tansley Holy Trinity Church, Church St, Tansley, DE4 5FH 1.

2.

22

Standing at the roadside, with your back to the church, turn right and follow the road, passing a recreation ground on your right. Continue until you see the Gate pub to the left hand side of the road.

Turn left just in front of the pub and head uphill along a single track road with a stone wall on either side.

Continue straight and over the crest of a hill and down the other side. A short distance after passing a blue sign “unsuitable for goods vehicles” on your right, bear right to pass a stone cottage and then head steep uphill.

3.

When nearing the top of the hill the tarmac road turns into a rough lane. Continue until you see a signposted footpath to your right. Follow the footpath to the right heading uphill and into woodland.

4.

Continue ahead, over a crossing of paths then gently uphill. At a fork in the path bear left. After a short distance the path levels off and has a steep drop to your left. Continue for a short distance until you see a large stone lying just to the left of the path. At this point ignore the path to the right going uphill, instead take the path bearing left and downhill.

Don’t forget to mention Voice Magazines when responding to the Ads

5.

This path will take you closer to the edge of the woodland and has a steep bank to the right.

Continue straight until reaching a stone wall on your left and then, keeping the wall on your left, drop gently downhill.

6.

Continue until you reach a river, cross the river via the stepping stones and then turn immediately left long a footpath. Keeping the river on your left continue along the path until reaching a lane. Turn left along the lane and then after a short distance pass a long row of stone cottages.

7.

Immediately after the cottages turn left and then immediate right through a gap in the wall. Keeping a pond on your left continue along a footpath. After the pond, at the barriers, turn right to cross a stone stile, turning left onto a road. Walk ahead, along the road for a short distance, then when the wall ends on the left, turn left downhill on a footpath, past a stone stile. At the bottom of the hill cross a stone stile onto a road. Turn left along the road 7a. (alternative route, when the falls are open) Immediately after the cottages turn left and then immediate right through a gap in the wall. Keeping a pond on your left continue along a footpath. The path begins to descend, twist, turn and thread its way through the remains of the Mill. Keeping the river and waterfall on your left continue downhill until passing through a gap and turn left onto a road

8.

After a short distance after passing the car park/ layby and then at the end of a tall stone wall on your right. Turn sharp right onto a footpath. The path crosses a river. Immediately afterwards turn left onto a footpath heading uphill and into woodland.

9.

After a short distance the path levels out. Continue for some distance keeping the river down to your left. Ignoring a path which bears right towards some houses continue straight and downhill until reaching a T Junction of paths with a large metal fence in front of you.

10.

Turn right, then bear left, keeping the fence on your left. Continue for some distance to pass a recreation ground to your right and then a converted mill to your left. At the end of a tall stone wall and when you see a stone post turn left along a path.

After a short distance pass through a metal gate and onto a lane. Continue to the end of the lane and at a T junction turn left along a road.

12.

Pass the converted mill on your left and some new build houses to your right. Further on your will pass NFU Mutual on your left. Continue along the road with the river on your left and then begin to climb gently. As you climb keep the stone wall on your left and look out for a metal gate on your right leading onto a footpath.

13.

Go through the metal gate and continue straight ahead with a wall on your left, then into an open area (Keep dogs on a lead here as there may be loose farm animals). Cross a stile and continue with a stone wall on your left until the wall ends, then turn left and climb gently with another stone wall on your left.

14.

Continue to pass over a stone bridge. Immediately after the bridge

KIDS & FAMILIES

11.

turn sharp right to follow a footpath with a pond on your left. Continue around the edge of the pond until reaching a road. Turn left along the road going gently uphill and to the right of “Speedwell Mill�.

15.

As you climb keep a stream on your right. When you cross over the stream on the road turn right through a gap onto a signposted footpath. Follow this path to the very end and then turn left along a road back to Tansley Church.

This walk is for illustrative purposes only. Voice Magazines takes no responsibility for anyone who chooses to follow this route and encourages all walkers to obey all byelaws and signs and to respect the area they are walking in, ensuring they pick up all dog mess and obey the countryside code at all times.

My October resolution is to be....

........less grumpy

My wife is apparently not alone in her observation that my constant moaning has turned me into a latter day Victor Meldrew, and claims that she first became aware of this character defect on our honeymoon. She’s never let me forget (or anyone else for that matter!) how I wished her good night at the door to the ladies dormitory at the youth hostel that I’d booked for our first night of married life. To be fair, I don’t think she realised just how expensive hotels were in those days.

Whatever, she’s convinced me that I must change my outlook on life, always look at things positively, and although she recognises that it’s especially difficult for me, to try to be happy.

Well, albeit through partially gritted teeth, here are just some of the things that make me happy, or at the very least, a little content with life. Perhaps you share some of these?

1.

enjoying a good Indian meal.

2.

watching Notts County FC. NB – this was another early indicator for the missus that I was perhaps one of those poor individuals who was never destined to be totally happy!

3.

being surrounded by well-behaved and well-mannered grandkids. Thankfully, I’m

26

well blessed on that score.

4.

spending a day at Trent Bridge.

5.

relaxing with a cool pint of Tennents Lager.

6.

travelling up to Whitby for a few days on the North Yorkshire coast.

7.

listening to Nina Simone.

8.

eating a Lees Macaroon Bar.

9.

going to the theatre for a performance of live musical theatre. Any show at any time, but West Side Story in particular, takes some beating.

10. cleaning the outside windows. Simply, one of life’s most therapeutic activities!

There are a few others like moaning at people who a) drop litter b) eat in the cinema c) don’t clean up after their dogs etc., but I guess I’ve made that clear in the past.

There you are then. I’ve tried really hard, although I do warn you that this ‘personality change’ may be short-lived and I’m quite likely to return - in fact I can almost guarantee it - to normal levels of grumpiness after Christmas.

You may disagree, but I reckon the world will surely be a better place as a result!

Book Review

American Dirt is a controversial book, but eye-opening and a shocking and very exciting page turner.

Lydia owns a bookshop in Acapulco. She’s married to an investigative journalist and is living a comfortable middle class life until her husband writes a piece about the local drug lord, a man responsible for deaths and terror, who she also happens to innocently know through a shared love of books.

Lydia and her eight year old son are forced to go on the run to El Norte – the USA - after the rest of her family is killed by the drugs cartel in revenge, and the rest of the story is a headlong heart-in-mouth race to escape their tentacles.They follow the route used by fellow refugees, risking their lives daily by riding The Beast – the dangerous El Bestia freight train - and dodging immigration patrols, to say nothing of the informants in the pay of the drug baron.

It’s controversial largely because it’s written by a white American, Jeanine Cummins, about a South American family and there are those who say, this is a story which should be told by a South American and that it paints a picture of Mexico which many Mexicans would not recognise.

Nevertheless real-life stories of the men, women and children who have taken the El Bestia migration route to safety have been researched and verified and the book may be a novel but it is a testament to the desperation of many who have followed this path.

It really is unputdownable and no matter who has written it, you might agree that it can only lead to some understanding of what migrants face.

Bald bits on the lawn can be addressed right now and grass seed is probably the most economical and easiest way of doing it.

Rake over the area to be sown to break up where it has got trodden hard. Put a light layer of compost on top and scatter half in one direction then half in the other. Don’t over seed as this actually makes it harder for the seed to take – there’s always instructions on amount to use on the packet. If you can sow after it has rained that’s best, if not, water gently. Then cover with netting so the birds don’t take advantage.

Leaf mould is compost for free, so long as you’re fairly patient. In any case you shouldn’t leave leaves to rot on the grass as they will make the green stuff slimy. However you can mow them on the grass to help break them up – especially good idea with larger leaves such as sycamore. Rake the resulting mow up and put in bin liners. Moisten if dry, push holes in to allow air to help the rotting process and hide the bags behind something for up to two years.

After a year the resulting partially rotted leaves can be used as mulch or soil improver. After two years it will be totally broken down and brilliant as compost, If you’ve got pine needles keep them separate if you’ve got rhododendrons or azaleas – they’re acidic and good for both.

Lift begonias and dahlias if you live in an area which gets colder winters. You might just get away with mulching in milder areas. Cut stems two inches from the tuber, be careful not to damage the tubers when you lift them. Remove soil carefully and turn upside-down to dry properly. They need to be kept cool and dry so bury in trays of used compost or soil, leaving just the stalks poking out of the top. Store somewhere cool where they will be protected from frost,

TOP TIP!

It’s not just humans that want to snuggle up warm in winter. Put a small log pile somewhere hidden at the bottom of the garden to provide shelter for small animals. And leave a few bare hollow stalks in the ground for the insects.
