From the Editor

Explosive Greetings on this fine November Readers,

Isn’t if funny this time of year… I feel like I’m seeing moustaches everywhere! Mo-ving on… You can’t beat a lovely, well organised firework display and ‘tis the season. I personally love it but I think I’ve mentioned before that my rescue dog Flake is absolutely terrified of this time of year and I know he isn’t the exception. I don’t know what happened to him to make him so scared and he won’t tell me, best guess is that this is why he got abandoned in the first place as he is supposed to be a gun dog. One can’t help but wonder why we can’t make the fireworks silent, which would suit the masses of people who don’t like the noise including animals but still keep the beautiful displays running. Anyway, I digress as I don’t think it will change anytime soon and I shall simply switch up the telly, pop on his thunder jacket and cuddle him, little poppet. Anyhoo, by the time you’re reading this Celebrity Traitors will be done and at Voice Magazines HQ we will be in a state of loss as we’re all massive fans. My predictions are: the Traitors will win, the remaining faithful will inexplicably vote to end the game, one of the traitors will become the new ‘Nasty Nick’, one of the faithful will become a national treasure, and Ross Kemp will raise an eyebrow. I wonder how I did?

During this fanfest, we decided to do something a little different one Friday afternoon. Our Lisa is currently going through the mill, so we collected a chippy lunch and we played the Traitors board game for the afternoon. It took 4 hours to do challenge one but it was so much fun, highly recommend. Since Mr Emily and myself started watching traitors, I have never wanted to be a ‘Traitor’, every series I want to be a ‘Faithful’…..you can see where this is going right!! You need to have a good memory to be a good Traitor and since entering my 40’s….well…. Dory from Finding Nemo seems a little too generous for the state of my brain these days!! Anyway, I was victorious and was never discovered, only getting one nomination throughout 4 round tables…despite eye rolling very loudly upon turning the card over!! But next time, and if we ever get the chance to do a live experience, I 1000% want to be a faithful. It is hard work being a Traitor and I feel James Acaster’s plight – I hope he gets the money though, he’s earned it!! Onwards to December, the big red fella is on his way and for the 40th salient year in a row – I am absolutely not ready!! Happy Reading, Emily x

International field makes Longshaw Sheepdog Trials a weekend to remember

Competitors from across the world joined some of Britain’s leading sheepdog handlers as the historic Longshaw Sheepdog Trials returned for another successful event recently. Hope Valley legal firm, Graysons Solicitors, sponsored the event for the fourth year running. Bumper crowds turned out at Longshaw Pastures for the 128th year of the event. They were treated to a top-class competition and a memorable flypast from one of the world’s few remaining airworthy Hurricanes. The overall winner of the open class was Richard Saxon from Leek with his dog Don, while Alex Wilkinson from Thurgoland and Pip took the prestigious Longshaw Championship and its famous silver teapot. Alex Wilkinson enjoyed a particularly successful event, also winning the local class and receiving the President’s prize of a Border Fine Art ornament and the L. E. Ward Cup. This year’s event had a particularly international flavour, with competitors travelling from Argentina, Uruguay, Poland and Finland ahead of the World Sheep Dog Trials. Peter Clark, Managing Partner at Graysons in Hathersage, said: “Longshaw is always a very special event, and this year certainly didn’t disappoint. “As a firm with strong roots in the area, we’re proud to help support a tradition that has been part of the local landscape for so many years.”

HOME IMPROVEMENTS

Remedies for a Chesty Cough The season of coughs, colds and flu is upon us once more. Our popular presentation, “Vick and Virol”, looks at remedies relied upon in days gone by. No respectable medicine cabinet lacked chest rubs and cough mixtures. As a child, I favoured Venos for its liquorice flavour. At the dawn of the 20th century, pharmacists and family doctors concocted their own remedies. L E Hughes of Riddings, Derbyshire, offered “Five Ha’porths”, a cough preparation containing laudanum. He also devised “Four Ha’porths” for diarrhoea. Heaven forbids one should muddle the two! More alarming was “One Night”, an American preparation devised in the 1880s containing alcohol, cannabis, morphine and chloroform. Wright’s coal-tar vaporiser and inhaler is remembered

for relieving croup and whooping cough, and many folk swore by it. Those of modest means might instead inhale tarry vapours whilst roadmen laid a fresh surface. Perhaps most alarming, GPs advised smoking a cigarette to ease asthma or bronchitis—a practice commonplace until the 1950s. I shall stick to my flu jab and Buttercup syrup, if it is all the same to you!

Spot The Moustache:

HOME IMPROVEMENTS

It’s Right Under Your Nose!

Each November a strange thing happens… upper lips start sprouting fur and razors start going rusty. Yes, that’s right it’s moustache season! Men everywhere start growing a tache, (often with varying degrees of success!) to raise money and awareness for men’s health issues. Soon it starts to feel like they start popping up everywhere, so we’d thought we’d have a bit of fun with it on our front covers by placing some moustaches in some unusual places. Did you find them all? While they may raise a smile, the humble moustache has a fascinating history stretching back thousands of years. The earliest evidence of moustaches dates back to ancient civilisations, where facial hair was often seen as a symbol of strength, wisdom and status. Throughout history, moustaches have come in and out of fashion more times than we can count. From the grand handlebar moustaches of the Victorian era to the neat military styles of the early twentieth century, they have long been used to make a statement. In the 1800s, a fine moustache was almost a requirement for gentlemen wishing to appear distinguished. Military officers across Europe often sported impressive facial hair, and moustaches became associated with bravery and leadership. Later, during the twentieth century, styles evolved alongside changing fashions, with famous actors, musicians and sports stars helping to shape the trends of their day. Today, moustaches are worn for all sorts of reasons. Some people simply enjoy the style, while others grow one to support an important cause. And that brings us to Movember. Every November, millions of people around the world take part in the Movember movement, which encourages participants to grow a moustache while raising awareness and funds for men’s health issues. Since its beginnings in Australia in 2003, Movember has become a global campaign focusing on mental health, suicide prevention, prostate cancer and testicular cancer.

20

What started as a light-hearted challenge between friends has grown into one of the world’s most recognised charity movements. The moustache serves as a visible conversation starter, helping people discuss important health topics that can sometimes be difficult to talk about. And, of course, moustaches come in an extraordinary variety of shapes and styles. There’s the wonderfully extravagant Handlebar, the neat Pencil, the classic Chevron, the distinctive Horseshoe, the impressive Walrus, the upturned English, the quirky Fu Manchu, the petite Toothbrush and the rather grand Imperial, to name just a few. They can be bushy, curled, carefully waxed, long, short, perfectly groomed or left to do their own thing! With so many different styles to choose from, we thought we’d have a little fun with this month by seeing how many we could hide in a range of seasonal scenes. Whether you’re proudly growing your own moustache this month, supporting someone who is, or simply enjoying the creative designs on our cover, it’s worth remembering that this iconic strip of facial hair has been making its mark for centuries. From ancient warriors to Victorian gentlemen, from charity fundraisers to our own fun front cover creations, the moustache continues to prove that sometimes the simplest things can leave the greatest impression. So, if November inspires you to grow a moustache of your own, wear it with pride. You’ll be joining a tradition that has survived thousands of years and helped support a very worthwhile cause along the way.

Bakewell Old House Museum WINTERTIME AT THE OLD HOUSE

Work taking place at The Old House Mortar in th e walls

at The Old H ouse

As the days draw in and autumn turns to winter Bakewell Old House Museum has to close. After a successful season with lots of lovely visito rs you might think all is safely tucked away for the winter, and everyone can rest and relax. In actual fact winter is a busy time at Bakewell Old House, for it is only when we are closed that clean ing and essential maintenance work can be done.

This year a grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF) meant that, toward the end of summer, some external building work could be undertaken. Applications for funding are extremely time consuming, preparing a bid involves hours of work. Everything needs to be approved, discussed with trustees and the committee, along with lots of preparation and endless, tedious form filling. Even once funding is granted permissions must be sought and agreed before work can commence. For the Old House (eventually) everything was completed which allowed scaffolding to be erected ready for work to begin. Mortar in the walls along the side and back of the building had perished. After raking out, the old mortar was replaced with new hot lime mortar. Work was also carried out on part of the roof. Scaffolding was then moved to the front of the building where a number of

sandstone quoins needed replacing, aware that space is limited. We have not an easy task. A second part of a wealth of local artefacts such as the grant from the NLHF project will Ashford Marble, pottery, costumes, help to identify the future trajectory toys and much more so with such a for the Bakewell Historical Society wonderful collection agreeing which and the Museum. selection of items to show can be Inside the Old House during the a challenge. winter months our volunteers The museum is always on the lookout undertake the equivalent of a spring for new volunteers to become clean to ensure everywhere is as involved.

W

INDOWS play a vital role in keeping your home warm (and cool), secure, and energy efficient. However, over time, even high-quality double and triple glazed windows can develop faults that affect their performance.

What Are the Most Common Window Repairs? One of the most common window problems homeowners experience is misted or fogged double glazing. This occurs when the sealed unit between the panes of glass fails, allowing moisture to enter the gap. As develops inside the unit, the glass becomes cloudy, visibility is reduced, and the window loses some of its insulating properties. Many homeowners assume the entire window needs replacing, but in most cases only the failed glass unit needs to be changed, making it a cost-effective repair that restores both appearance and energy efficiency. Another issue many homeowners face is condensation forming on the inside of windows, particularly during colder months. Unlike misted double glazing, this type of condensation is usually caused by excess moisture within the home from activities such as cooking, showering, and drying clothes indoors. Poor ventilation can make the problem worse, leading to mould growth, and damp patches.

Benefits of Window Repairs Repairing existing windows is often the most cost-effective solution when the frames remain structurally sound.

Advantages of window repairs include:

y Lower cost compared to full window replacement

y The windows are very old and no

longer meet modern energy-efficiency standards

y Faster installation and less disruption

y Significant draughts remain despite

y Improved energy efficiency by

y You want to upgrade the appearance,

to your home

replacing failed glass units or seals

y Restored security through lock, handle, and hinge repairs

y Extended lifespan of existing windows y Reduced environmental impact by avoiding unnecessary waste

y Preservation of the original

appearance of your property

y For example, if a double-glazed unit

has become misted due to a failed seal, the glass unit can often be replaced while keeping the original frame intact. This restores both clarity and thermal performance at a fraction of the cost of a completely new window.

When is Window Replacement Necessary? Although repairs can solve many common faults, there are situations where replacement may be the better long-term investment. Replacement may be recommended when:

y Window frames are structurally damaged

y Multiple components have failed simultaneously

previous repairs

security, or thermal performance of your home

y Older timber windows suffering from

rot, or uPVC frames that have become severely damaged, may no longer provide a reliable foundation for repairs. In these cases, replacement can offer better long-term value.

Repair vs Replace: Which Offers Better Value? For most homeowners, professional repairs provide the best return on investment when the window frames are still in good condition. Replacing a misted glass unit, fitting new hinges, repairing locks, or replacing seals can restore performance, improve comfort, and reduce energy bills without the expense of installing brand-new windows. Full replacement should generally be viewed as a solution for windows that are beyond economical repair or when homeowners wish to significantly improve the appearance and efficiency of their property. By arranging an assessment or contacting w, homeowners can determine whether a targeted repair will resolve the issue or whether replacement is the more practical long-term option. In many cases, a simple repair can add years to the life of a window while saving hundreds or even thousands of pounds compared to a complete replacement.

YOU ARE HERE BY DAVID NICHOLLS David Nicholls’ novel You Are Here is a grown-up person’s love story. As a reader who really doesn’t fall for love stories, I genuinely didn’t want this one to end. It’s funny, unsentimental, warm, full of hope and the perfect antidote to the gloom of the outside world. The backdrop is a 10-day coast-to-coast hike, organised with friends, across the lakes and fells of the North, with its unrelenting and sometimes apocalyptic weather. Michael – geography teacher, dry sense of humour, almost divorcee, nice chap; falls into walking with Marnie – copy editor, lives in London, recovering from a dodgy marriage, but blessed with a similar off-beat maybe even quirkier sense of humour. The dialogue is wonderfully sharp-tongued but without malice. The name of the book comes from those maps which point with an arrow - You Are Here - so you can orientate yourself. But it’s also maybe about what happens when you take yourself out of normal surroundings and thought patterns and just live. It’s a really human book, also looking at loneliness and friendship but without any mawkishness. It’s lovely and wise. I found myself really wanting it to work out for them as people. They seemed like proper human beings. A very satisfying read.

WE INVITE YOU TO PAUSE FOR A MOMENT. Take a breath, read these words, reflect, and remember the courage, sacrifice and lives of those who gave so much. Lest we forget.

For the Fallen: - by Laurence Binyon With proud thanksgiving, a mother for her children, England mourns for her dead across the sea. Flesh of her flesh they were, spirit of her spirit, Fallen in the cause of the free.

They mingle not with their laughing comrades again; They sit no more at familiar tables of home; They have no lot in our labour of the day-time; They sleep beyond England’s foam.

Solemn the drums thrill: Death august and royal Sings sorrow up into immortal spheres. There is music in the midst of desolation And a glory that shines upon our tears.

But where our desires are and our hopes profound, Felt as a well-spring that is hidden from sight, To the innermost heart of their own land they are known As the stars are known to the Night;

They went with songs to the battle, they were young, Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow. They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted, They fell with their faces to the foe.

As the stars that shall be bright when we are dust, Moving in marches upon the heavenly plain, As the stars that are starry in the time of our darkness, To the end, to the end, they remain.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them.

S After our blistering summer we’re finally getting a bit more rain, ENER D but the soil should still be warm enough to plant some stuff and R A G NDAR give roots a head-start going into winter. E L A C

Bare root fruit trees such as apples and pears can be planted now - make sure the hole is deep enough and stake to protect against winter storms. Same goes for bare root roses - though you don’t need to stake them. There’s time to get some cyclamen hederifolium in with their lovely pale purple flowers which come through ahead of leaves and are good in shady spots and will spread in coming years. And there’s hellebores of course for early spring colour. Cornus can also be planted now - the red and orange leaves will be dropping but leaving the orange, yellow and red stems – more winter colour. Time to get the tulips in – though you can easily leave them to the end of the month. They like the cold for planting. Plant two to three times depth. It’s a good time to prune existing apple and pear trees. Take out dead wood, shape and remove congested branches. Fallen leaves may make a pretty outdoor carpet but don’t

them to get slimy – they can suffocate the grass. Add to TOP leave compost bins or simply make your own leaf mould in plastic TIP bags punctured with holes.

NATURE NOTES FROM THE PEAK DISTRICT

FUNGI MAKE A GRAND ENTRANCE TO THE AUTUMN SEASON

PENNY BUN

A visit to less intensively managed upland meadows and pastures can be an eyeopener during the autumn, as a myriad of fungi (toadstools or mushrooms) make their appearance. Prime examples on acidic grasslands are a wealth of so-called “Waxcap” mushrooms which often emerge in splendid bright colours from pinks through to yellows and orange. These delightful toadstools are not edible for humans but serve as “indicators” of conservation importance and antiquity of pastures and wood-pastures. Sites in the Peak and Pennines include areas of international significance. Autumn is by no means the only time of year for fungi to be present and visible, but it is undoubtedly the time for numbers and variety. This is even more so if we are following a long, very hot and dry summer with early autumnal rains to provide moisture in the ground. Suddenly, “mushrooms” seem to appear everywhere around woodlands, hedgerows and meadows, and even in parks and gardens. The fungi pictured include a member of the Boletus group or Boletes, a “basidiomycete fungus” that produces sexual spores on club-shaped cells called basidia. The Boletes are especially obvious because if you look under the cap of the mushroom the surface is full of tubes (where the spores develop) rather than on flaps or gills as in the common edible mushrooms. Boletes also tend to be rather large and chunky. The specimen pictured is the so-called “Penny Bun” (Boletus edulis) and good to eat, is often referred to as the “King of Edible Fungi”. Each cap is around six inches wide, and these are known and celebrated across Europe. In France, that centre

PENNY BUN MUSH

of mushroom-related cuisine, they are called Ceps, in Germany, they are Steinpilz, and in Italy Porcini. Here in Britain, because they look like a nicely baked crusty cob, they are popularly known as “Penny Buns”. These are considered the most useful and delicious of the wild, edible mushrooms and are relatively easy to identify. Having tubes and pores under the cap rules out many nasty, highly poisonous mushrooms which have gills, and this is helpful to fungal foragers. However, there are other and often rather similar-looking Boletes which are described as “inedible” and best avoided. In a couple of cases, some are rather nasty such the Devil’s Bolete or Satan’s Bolete (Boletus satanus) with purple and orange colouration and foul-smelling, garlicky flesh. This is one to be avoided. Other delightfully edible wild mushrooms include the Field Mushroom and the Horse Mushroom (basically like large versions of the typical edible cultivated “Mushroom” and close relatives of that species). These have tall, strong stems, large flattish caps with dark gills underneath, and are tasty and good to eat. One member of the Genus, the Yellow Stainer, can be poisonous to some people but not others. In terms of edibility the “Giant Puffball” is good so long as it is cooked before the spores ripen, but it is less common and may be declining in some areas. Overall, my strong advice if you are not a mushroom expert and are at all unsure of identification, then despite the temptation, it is best to avoid wild fungi. There are some easily identified edible species but don’t risk it if you aren’t certain!
