Hello Readers, We’ve made it to summer (allegedly – the weather begs to differ!) and everywhere is tentatively starting to re-open. We had a lovely meal in an al fresco igloo with 2 friends to celebrate a birthday that happened 2 months ago! For us, 1 vaccine down, it’s nice to be out and about again and of course, to be able to see friends and family at long last. We’ve got Christmas dinner with the outlaws next month – it’s the roaring 20’s – anything goes!!!

Speaking of things being open – have we got a comp for you guys!! As you are all aware, the Y Not Festival IS running this year -yayyyy! We’re so excited as the Voice team are on tour BUT we also managed to get a family ticket to give away to our lovely readers. The line-up is amazing and something really positive to look forward too after the last couple of years.

SOOOO…. to be in with a chance of winning - all you need to do is answer the following question and email, it back to us.

Which county is the Y Not festival held in?

Following on from the re-opening of life as we know it – we suspect that events and community groups will be re-opening again soon too and we’ve already had contact from a few groups, so now we just need you! If you previously featured in our mag or you would like to in future and you run a community or not-for-profit group or event, please get in touch, we’d love to hear from you.

Happy catching up with friends and family, but remember, the dreaded ‘C’ word hasn’t gone away, so stay safe!

See you next month,

World Music Day! “Music was my first love”, so sang John Miles in 1976…but what does music mean to you?

21st June is World Music Day - it’s also the day that the UK is due to be fully liberated from the restrictions imposed

by COVID (fingers crossed of course!) as well as being the Summer Solstice.

Will you be listening to a few tunes to celebrate, or is music not high on your list of likes?

Music has always been an integral part of being human. Musical instruments have been around for thousands of years, the earliest known being flutes, made out of mammoth bone, and dating back an incredible 43,000 years! Even before that impressively early period in prehistory, it isn’t a stretch to imagine our early ancestors using the power of their voices to create music. Not all of us are blessed with amazingly tuneful voices, yet most of us are able to recognise and enjoy that skill in others. I like to think of my ancestor, umpteen generations removed, sitting around the fire humming along and tapping her feet as someone else sings a song (I do have a vivid imagination though…curse of the writer!).

Music certainly has some sort of power over us, hearing a song from ‘back in the day’, can instantly transport you in time. And have you ever noticed that you can remember the lyrics of a song from years ago and yet struggle to remember where you put the car keys? I know I have! This connection between music and memory is why it is often used to help people living with dementia, and in care homes in general. For a truly heart warming example of how music memory

10

remains long after other memories have faded, type ‘dementia ballet dancer’ into Google and prepare to be amazed (have a tissue handy!).

Staying with memory, well the mind anyway - one of the best ways to ensure your brain remains in tip top condition for as long as possible is to learn to play an instrument. You may never be a virtuoso, but the very act of learning to play helps to form new neural paths in your brain (it’s called neuroplasticity) it’s like exercise for your grey matter.

If you want to see if there are any World Music Day events near you, I recommend you checking out www. makemusicday.co.uk/events. You can create and add your own events to that site too - so if there isn’t anything local to you, why not think about organising a get together? It needn’t be big, expensive, and flashy - it could just be a concert on your local village green or in the pub carpark. It would be a great way to get your neighbours and friends together after what has been a horrible year or so.

So, returning to the opening sentence of this article…what does music mean to you? Visit our Facebook page and let us know!

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

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.

•

This is information was provided by Haworth WardDrummond, owner of Egg & Nest Ltd. , a provider of professional estate planning services in accordance with the STEP Code of Conduct.

It’s not too late to make a Will...

Hello, I’m Haworth Ward-Drummond, your local Estate Planning Consultant of 13 years experience. I am an expert in helping people arrange their Wills, Trusts, Lasting Powers of Attorney and Pre-paid Funeral Plans.

Along with my colleague Jane Bowland we specialise in helping all kinds of people gain peace of mind by providing professional advice, but with a personal touch.

We offer a FREE consultation without obligation for anybody who would like to know more about any of the following:

Making a basic Will Setting up Lasting Powers of Attorney

Using Trusts to protect their assets Pre-paid Funeral Plans

Protecting your home for future generations We know that planning for the future is a very personal matter. Not everyone is able or wants to travel to an appointment in town to sort out their affairs. We can visit you at a convenient time in the privacy and comfort of your own home to discuss your unique circumstances.

A visit and consultation is completely free and you are under no obligation to do anything. If you decide to make any arrangements you can be safe in the knowledge that all our professional services and work are fully insured and we are members of the Society of Will Writers, so all our clients are assured of the highest standards of conduct at all times.

All our clients (and their families) that we have helped in the past have been very happy with our services and tell us they have gained great peace of mind knowing that they have sorted everything out.

“Haworth helped us make Wills to protect our home and set up Lasting Powers of Attorney. He explained everything very clearly and we now feel so much better knowing everything is in place.” Mr. & Mrs. Knapp, Bamford.

& d o o F l i a t e R Slimming World Recipe Margherita Pizza Homemade pizza is a real game changer and this recipe from Slimming world is easy to follow and provides a great base to begin experimenting with your favourite toppings. Just remember to count those syns if you are on plan.

Serves: 4

Ready in: 55mins

Syns per serving: 7

Ingredients:

Method:

• 125g strong bread flour

1. Put all the topping ingredients apart from the mozzarella and basil in a saucepan, season to taste and cook over a medium-low heat for 25-30 minutes or until you have a thick, spreadable sauce.

• 7g sachet instant active yeast

2. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas 6 and heat through a baking sheet or, better still, a pizza stone – this will help your pizza to cook evenly.

3. Put the flour in a large bowl and stir in the yeast and 1 tsp salt. Make a well in the middle, pour in 75ml of warm water and mix with a wooden spoon until you have a soft, fairly wet dough. Dust a surface very lightly with flour (1 level tsp is ½ Syn), turn out the dough and knead for 5 minutes until smooth. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a thin circle about 22cm across.

4. Put your rolled-out base on the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet (add a sheet of non-stick baking parchment if you’re using a baking sheet). Spoon the tomato sauce over the base and arrange the mozzarella on top.

5. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the base is golden. Scatter over the basil and serve hot with a rocket salad.

For the topping: • 4 shallots, finely chopped • 3 garlic cloves, crushed • 1 tsp dried red chilli flakes • 2 tsp dried oregano • 400g can chopped tomatoes • 1 tbsp tomato purée • 70g reduced-fat mozzarella cheese, cubed or sliced • Small handful of torn fresh basil leaves, to serve

Book Review For anyone still dreaming about summer holidays abroad in these uncertain times, the writer Donna Leon is a gift.

Her high-end Brunetti crime stories are set in Italy - Venice in particular. And alongside unfailingly good stories, Ms Leon is brilliant on the Italian way of life, the love of food, the love of people, the warmth, and the glittering sunlight.

The series started nearly 30 years ago and Guido Brunetti has investigated a new crime every year in the city of canals and carnival. As police comissario he takes on everything from the mafia to the church, opera and people just generally behaving badly.

Donna Leon has lived in Venice for 30 years and has millions of fans worldwide – she’s been translated into more than 30 languages and some of her books have been turned into TV series The latest Brunetti is Transient Desires, but to be fair you could start at the beginning of the series Death at La Fenice and half the fun is watching the way Brunetti deals with the changing times over the years.

It is a series to fall in love with. And if you’ve already got Venice on your bucket list, it will whet your appetite even more

All across the Peak District there is most stunning and splendid wild sight emerging as the ‘wild rhododendron’ bursts into bloom. This is the bane of conservationists but much-loved by the public (and a lot of wildlife too). Many people don’t realise this is an ‘alien’, exotic, or non-native plant, and those who do, think it comes from the Himalayas.

This spectacular shrub is Rhododendron ponticum or literally ‘The Red Tree from Turkey’; so yes, there is a clue there. Most rhododendrons do come from the Himalayas from the Sikkim and Bhutan across into China; with a few in North America, a small number in Europe, and a lot in tropical forests. However, our ‘wild’ shrub is from Europe and around the Mediterranean.

Landowners loved it for shelter, ornament, and especially game cover for shoots. Many planted it as wildlife cover and its stunning flowers, and it was extensively used as root-stock for less hardy prize rhododendrons brought to Britain by the Empire’s plant hunters. Collectors travelled the globe in search of the exotic, and it burst onto and across the Peak’s countryside for 200 years spreading unnoticed and uncontrolled. This is one of the most successful of our invasive alien plants and talk of attempted total eradication is pie-inthe-sky. There’s been ‘talk’ of effective control for sixty years or more by forestry experts, and rhododendron can be dealt with on individual sites. However, there is no effective strategy or policy to stop the further spread across the landscape. Personally I cannot see government spending the huge amount of cash that would be needed and also I don’t imagine everybody would be agreeable or co-operative. Many of the seed-plants are in small, private gardens and I just don’t think people will take to them being ‘eradicated’. This plant can cause a head-ache for site managers but gardeners and many of the resident and visiting public love it.

This flowering event becomes a natural spectacular which in places like the Peak District and Snowdonia in particular, presents with stunning vistas and views. This is an annual happening for which people travel miles to see and has become a tourism attraction. Covering woods, heaths, moorland edge, and old parklands with a blanket of red and purple to mauve flowers, the impact is dramatic. Outside this peak of flowering the shrub is far less obvious and is often unnoticed. Invading natural habitats it clearly impacts on native wildlife but not always negatively. However, there is a twist in this story for a plant often demonised as an alien invader.

It was native in Britain between the recent glacial periods but somehow never returned when icy chills mellowed around 15,000 years ago. It was effectively banished to the far flung tips of Europe and Near Asia (Turkey, Lebanon, Portugal, and Spain), until 1763 when plant collectors brought seeds back to London’s Kew Gardens.

From there as they say, the rest is history.

Despite our chilly spring most gardens are bursting with life. You can start to think about pruning early flowering shrubs such as forsythia, currant and mock orange to ensure you get a good show of flowers next year. Leave it later and the flowers are less likely. Take out diseased stems to ground level and cut back generally to a lower strongly growing stem. Cut back a quarter of older stems to the base.

Nasturtiums and night scented stock are among the seeds you can still be planting now, along with other “companion” plants which will help keep pests away. These usually have a strong scent, which confuse the insects which will damage your prize plants, whether fruit and veg or the likes of roses. So you can use nasturtiums alongside beans, lavender for carrots, calendula and mint for tomatoes, although watch out that the mint doesn’t take over your plot. Artemesia attracts things like ladybirds which see off aphids.

r

If you’ve left your lawn to grow long in May to encourage wildflowers but now want to cut it, do it in stages. If weeds you didn’t have also popped up, remember that weedkiller will kill the wildflowers too!

Top Tip If you’re looking to attract pollinators such as bees as hoverflies to your garden, try the likes of sage and borage, heliotrope cosmos, and salvias.
