Soooo, a rubbish thing happened this month – some scruffy little fandangler grabbed our beloved magazines from the internet and started calling our customers, impersonating us and telling them that they owed £100 on their accounts and he would need to take payment now! How rude! We reported them to Action Fraud (for what use that was, because until someone has actually had money taken off them, they won’t do anything about it!). Anyway, we popped it across our social media networks for our advertisers to beware and it sounds like the imposter got fed up after getting lots of fleas in his ear! Our fabulous customers past and present know us and know to call us directly if they ever get a call like that and that’s just what they did; Voice Customers 1 – Nasty little scammers 0!

As the weirdness of 2020 and more unfathomable rules continue, a strange thought occurred to me which I have discussed at length with various different people on my non-travelling travels! How can a year go so quickly when you literally have nothing to show for it?!

Don’t get me wrong, I’m quite pleased about it in some respects but it’s basically Christmas next week and it was only 20mins ago that we were in lock down back in April, and time normally drags when you’re grounded!!

So how about thinking about what we have learnt from this year. I have taken the time to focus more on my physical and mental health and feel much better for it.

Maybe for you it is discovering a new hobby or interest, maybe you have realised how important your friends and family are or maybe it’s been some small acts of kindness you have experienced. But heyho if none of this applies maybe we shouldn’t look a gift horse in the mouth and fingers crossed that the next 6 months flies by as swiftly (just so we can get back to spring again and hopefully more normality. Please note, I don’t normally wish my life away either and I know you shouldn’t!!).

Anyway, I just wondered if everyone else felt the same or is it just me?

This month our front covers pay homage to Remembrance Day. Because of the pandemic there is a risk that this important memorial is neglected,

From the Editor particularly considering the potential loss of fundraising, so please visit the website and support them where you can. They are a charity and funding is much needed to support veterans and without the usual concentrated focus, we don’t want their coffers to run dry as they do such fantastic work – Lest we forget.

Hopefully see you all in the blink of an eye at Christmas!

Happy Reading, Stay safe,

Making a Will. Important to make, simple to do Wills are legal paperwork that set out what you want to happen to your estate should you pass away. Making a Will could be the most important thing you do and for most people it’s simple and straightforward.

✔

If you have been married more than once and have children with each partner, a Will is the best way to ensure all of your children benefit how you want them to.

Here are some important reasons to make a Will

✔

Your Will may be out of date because of a change of circumstances. Your Will needs to be reviewed regularly to ensure it says what you want it to say.

✔

What happens if you die and you have young children? If the unthinkable were to happen, who would you wish to step in and be responsible for their day to day care?

✔

✔

If you don’t make a Will, the law (and not you) will dictate where your money will go. It is not always certain that your spouse, or even your children, will get your money in that case.

It costs far more to correct the mistakes in a homemade Will than it does to prepare a properly drawn up Will in the first place. It could cost thousands to rectify an error.

Call 01623 45 11 11 and make an appointment to discuss your individual circumstances with our experienced team.

Do you have plans in place?

Your local legal experts are here to help you You can arrange an appointment by phone, video chat or in person at our offices in Sutton or Mansfield.

Our experienced team can answer your questions to help you get your affairs in order, so you have peace of mind that your loved ones are taken care of.

Mike’us sings M

As my wife keeps reminding me....

....life’s a lot better when you’re not constantly grumpy

Apparently I’ve been very good over the past few weeks. On some days, she tells me, I’ve not started moaning about anything until Ken Bruce comes on Radio 2. Well, I’ve been trying really hard and even managed a smile last week as I politely asked that young man to pick up the Red Bull can he’d dropped onto the pavement. I wasn’t smiling though when I heard what he had to say. Mind you, to be fair, Jeremy Vine’s show had started by then.

Flushed with this (albeit limited) success, the love of my life, now thinking that she’s some sort of therapist, has suggested that I look to the future with optimism and think of the things that I’d like to do before my moaning days are over.

“OK mon petit chou” says I. NB – she likes me to come over all romantic, but not before the start of Steve Wright in the Afternoon! “First though” I continued, “I’ll reflect upon all the things I’ve either stopped doing, have never done in the past or are unlikely to ever do in the future.” For some bizarre reason, I thought that would make me happy. It didn’t, but it got me thinking. Here are some samples from the long list I came up with.

1.

Buy a replica football short. Not that I’m vain in any way, but they just don’t do anything for my physique - or most blokes over the age of 40 for that matter!

2.

I gave up smoking many years ago and bought a wedding ring with the savings. Hmmm, I do wonder sometimes just how much I’ve actually saved over the years.

3.

Pay to have my car washed. I know plenty do, but they’re probably much better off than me.

4.

Climb Mount Everest in my kilt. In fact, I’ve

learned over the years that there are many things I ought not to do when wearing it.

Cartwheels for example!

5.

Treat myself to a personalised number plate.

See 3 above.

6.

Watch breakfast television. I just don’t have the time.

7.

Waste my breath saying ‘two thousand and twenty’ when I mean ‘twenty twenty’.

8.

Had my hair permed. point.

9.

On principle, I’ve never watched Braveheart.

Of all the fine Scottish actors that they could have picked - James McAvoy, Ewan McGregor, Robert Carlyle, Robbie Coltrane & Jimmy Krankie come to mind - they went for Mel Gibson from Peekskill, New York. I rest my case.

Just never seen the

10. Despite being sorely tempted on occasions, requested a knife and fork in McDonalds.

How about you? What have you never done? You can let me know by sending an email to mike. musings@outlook.com. Confidentiality, I’ll share some of the better examples with the wider public in 2021. NB – that’s twenty twenty-one!!

Those of you who enjoy reading Mike’s Musings each month may be interested to hear that his second book was published last month. It’s a sporting memoir, written in his own style, and available from Amazon. If you think this will appeal to you (or someone you know) send Mike an email to mike.musings@outlook.com and he’ll provide details.

Book Review

Louise has three jobs to make ends meet and even then only just manages to live from one payday to the next. Life is dull, not a lot happens.

She lives in New York, one of the most exciting cities on earth, and yet….

And yet …things start to look up when she meets and gets talking to Lavinia. Lavinia has the lot, youth, money in spades, beauty. A great apartment and a lifestyle to match her income. She may be as shallow as a petri dish, but who needs depth when you’ve got the other stuff. Right?

So how much would a person like Louise put up with to have access to the rich life? If you read Social Creature by Tara Isabella Burton you’ll find out.

Once Louise and Lavinia become friends and Louise moves into the swish flat, the story takes a dark turn. No more plot giveaway, but this dark, heady, glitzy, champagne-gulping tale will certainly take you to a different place to lockdown UK.

As the nights draw in, I am often asked to include some ‘shorter walks that aren’t too muddy’.

Although Rafa and Flake love the mud, we’re not so keen, especially when it comes to them muddying up the car and having to wash them down when we get home! So, I thought this walk would be perfect.

It’s short, relatively flat and makes good use of some lanes, and paths which aren’t too muddy (weather depending!)

3.5 mile circular walk from Clay Cross A short and gentle walk for you and your dog! This fairly flat walk should take around 1½ hours to complete. There is a range of terrain, with some muddy and uneven sections and a few sections of road, so take plenty of care and make sure you wear appropriate footwear.

START: The Cemetery, Cemetery Road, Danesmoor, Clay Cross, Derbyshire, S45 9RL.

1.

Standing with your back to the cemetery turn left and continue along Cemetery Road for some distance.

Continue until the road bends sharp to the left. Continue around to the left and then after a short distance take the first right into Beech Way.

2.

After a short distance take the first right again into Lime Tree Grove.

Follow this road around to the left and

then to the very end where the road turns into a lane. Continue straight along the lane for a short distance and then when the lane bends to the left, turn right along a footpath into some trees.

3.

Continue, passing a stile on your left, and eventually reaching a stile directly in front of you. Climb over the stile and continue straight ahead along a lane.

on your left. At the far side of the field and upon reaching a brick built wall turn right heading uphill with the wall on your left.

9.

After some distance the lane bends sharp right. Ignoring the stile ahead of you follow the lane around to the right and eventually pass some farm buildings on your right.

4.

Continue straight ahead and gently uphill until reaching a main road. Turn right along the road and cross safely, making use of the central reservation.

Continue until reaching Highstairs Lane on your left.

5.

Luther Pepper (Kirkby Road, Sutton-in-Ashfield), my grandfather, was a solicitor in the local law firm Fidler situated in rented offices in Providence Square in Sutton. My mother recounts that it became Fidler & Pepper after Mr Fidler announced he was retiring and handed the keys to the practice to my grandfather.

Luther had two sons, Robert and Geoffrey, both of whom returned from WWII; Robert a Lt Colonel in the Indian Army in Burma and Geoffrey a Colonel (GC) in Europe. Both had followed their father into the Law training as solicitors. My grandfather opened an office in Clay Cross for my father and opened an office for Geoffrey in Fishguard, Mid Wales (Geoffrey had a long and difficult recovery from the injuries he received taking the action for which he was Decorated).

Opas House was commissioned in 1958 by my father Robert Pepper, to allow the expanding family law firm to move from their cramped rented premises in Providence Square into their own new premises.

The site was vacant apart from a Nissan Hut from which a hairdresser traded. My father and the hairdresser had known each other for a very long time and this led to him agreeing to vacate the site provided the new building made space for a hairdresser to operate. My father honoured this agreement. The construction was undertaken by a local building firm (Mr Robinson) that had undertaken much of the house and building in the area.

Fidler and Pepper (unrelated entirely with the law firm trading at the bottom of Market Street) remained a Family Law Firm practising in many aspects of the Law. Not least undertaking the conveyancing for many of the house purchases for local people funded by affordable mortgages provided by Sutton in Ashfield Urban District Council.

Re-purposing of the Offices into a Creative Craft Hub came about in July 2016 with the support of Darren Ottwell, Planning Officer, Ashfield District Council.

Please ‘Shop Local’ and support these skilled artisans.

Gardener’s Calendar

Tulip planting time! Hopefully you’ve got all your other spring bulbs in by now, but tulips prefer the late start to avoid tulip fire blight. Tulips used to be mostly annual, but there’s now a lot more varieties which will go on growing year after year, so long as you look after the bulbs, so it’s worth looking out for them. If you’ve got heavy clay soil add a bit of gravel or organic matter to break it up before planting. The rule is twice the width of the bulbs apart and at least twice their height in depth.

r

Winter bedding makes the garden look a bit more cheerful and there’s plenty of variety available, from winter flowering heather to winter flowering pansies, violas, and polyanthus. They may not all flower all the time, but given some decent periods of sun they’ll reward your endeavour.

Insulate outdoor pots with bubble wrap and put them up on something – pot feet or bits of brick or even polystyrene - to stop them getting waterlogged. Overwatering is more likely to kill winter flowering plants than anything else. Putting containers flush with a wall will often offer greater protection – but then you also have to check that they don’t dry out!

TOP TIP!

A cheap solar lamp for the greenhouse or a head light like climbers use may be a good investment, just so you can keep checking on outdoor plants during the short dark days without having to wrestle with a torch.
