Editors Note Hello everyone, Despite having the vaccination and boosters for Covid, I unfortunately caught it and must say have been quite ill with it. Weeks later I’m still not over it, and fingers crossed it won’t be too long before I feel well again. My sympathies go out to anyone who has had Covid in the past. Let’s hope everyone remains healthy and well.

This month I wrote a piece about a day trip I took with Blue Skies The Limit and Gardener Steve a few months ago.

Anyone looking to have a day out to somewhere they haven’t been before, I would thoroughly recommend having a day out with them, it was so enjoyable, I hope to go again sometime in the future.

There is a chance to win 2 x tickets to We’re Buzzin Festival in September 2022 , so get your entries in. It was a shame that I missed the Wilko Johnson concert in Nottingham due to Covid, but our competition winners sent me an email to say how much they enjoyed the show.

Until next time, stay safe and well

Christine

Welcome to our new gardening feature Hello Gardeners…

It‛s Gardener Steve here! and I‛m bringing you gardening tips, news and events.

Hello Gardeners…

I do hope you are all having a lovely summer?, as I sit here and write we are experiencing a heatwave and in our gardens in water water water!, it’s kept me busy watering as have a lot of plants in pots, but it’s a job I love and I do them either first thing in the morning or in the evening, I find it a very relaxing job, it gives me time to take stock of my plants, and even talk to a few! How you been getting on in your gardens this summer I would love to know.

Again this year I have had time in my own garden as some gardening events are still not taking place this year. I’m usually busy jetting off to Chelsea Flower Show in May but this year the show takes place in September so I will be able to tell you all about once I have visited.

Here are some jobs for you to do in your garden this month…

Happy Gardening Everybody!

Pick runner beans regularly to prevent them becoming stringy and to make room for developing beans.

Keep on top of weeds as they compete with plants for nutrients and water.

Stake tall or top heavy Dahlias and Lilies to prevent wind and rain damage.

Keep patio container plants well watered and feed with a liquid high potash fertiliser every fortnight.

Trim your lavender plants after they’ve finished flowering to keep them compact.

Continue to feed tomato plants with a tomato fertiliser and remove leaves lower down on the plant to help with air circulation and prevent disease.

Dead-heading is an important job this month - bedding plants, perennials and roses to stop them self-seeding, encourage further flowering and improves appearance of plant.

Apply a high-potash fertiliser such as tomato food once fruits start to form on peppers, cucumber and aubergines.

Pinch out the top of tomato plants to concentrate the growth into the fruit that has already formed. Aim to leave 5 or 6 trusses of fruit per plant.

PLEASE MENTION GRAPEVINE WHEN RESPONDING TO ADVERTISEMENTS .

Plant of the month - Echinacea purpurea purple coneflower Echinacea are clump-forming rhizomatous perennials with simple or pinnately lobed leaves and solitary, long-stalked daisies with prominent conical central disks attractive to butterflies.

The mature students from Derby College, led by horticultural lecturer Mike Baldwin, are on a level three study programme, which has been designed to learn skills and knowledge in surveying, design, plantsman-ship and construction - ideal for students who want to establish a gardening business.

As part of the part-time study programme, the students are all creating several different elements of a show garden which was designed by one of the student’s, Rachel Pratt in 2020, but the garden build was put on hold due to the pandemic, and its now finally come to fruition and again this year is supported by the Lilian Prime MS Centre in Derby.

The Metamorphosis Garden is designed to mark change – reflecting different themes including changes within humans, technology and in nature, as well as the transition of the Derby MS Society to the Lilian Prime MS Centre, which provides support to people affected by Multiple Sclerosis and other neurological conditions.

The design is inspired by the quote “if nothing ever changed, there’d be no butterflies” (unknown) You enter the garden through some butterfly gates, and then you can follow the spiralling metal where the quote could be read to the central feature. There is a seat in the corner underneath a lilac pergola, this sits opposite another curved seat in front of a water cascade planted up with marginal aquatics.

To reflect the neurological part of the garden, there is a living wall in the shape of human brain, made out of grasses, ferns and mosses and in the foreground some topiary. Around the garden are tiled trees that resemble human nerve cells. Mike Baldwin explained: “Rachel has created an amazing garden design full of highly imaginative planting, structural and technological features which I am sure will amaze both the show judges and visitors alike. Everyone has worked incredibly hard to create the different features of the garden and we will spend many more hours constructing this at the NEC ahead of the show.” Peter Milner, chair of trustees at the Lilian Prime MS Centre in Derby, continued:“We have worked with the Horticultural team at Broomfield Hall for several years to provide the brief and inspiration for their gardens at Gardeners World Live. This time we challenged the students to produce a garden design that recognised and addressed the wide range of difficulties that people affected by Multiple Sclerosis might experience. The students spent time researching MS and speak to several of our Centre users and an amazing array of design ideas were presented for us to judge.” The garden was given a bronze award and the show judges gave helpful feedback. Feedback from visitors to the garden have been very well received, as it was a garden with lots of easy ideas for gardeners to take home and execute in their own gardens.

Our Day Trip with Blue Skies The Limit and Gardener Steve by the Grapevine Editor.

What a great day we all had with Gardener Steve and Michelle from Blue Skies The Limit.

(Photo of them above taken at Dorothy Clive Garden).

As a keen gardener I decided to go on this trip with them to the The Dorothy Clive Garden, in Willoughbridge, Market Drayton, Shropshire and then to Bridgemere Garden Centre, Nantwich in Cheshire .Part of the group met at the Plough in Sandiacre, and was welcomed with a delicous hot bacon and egg roll with coffee, (in with the price). Steve made everyone welcome, then Michelle arrived on the coach with the second group from Breaston.

There was plenty of space on the coach, (and a toilet on board) , and room underneath the coach for the plants , my small concern was how can we get loads of plants on here without sitting on them or tripping over them?, of course, it’s a travel coach, there was room underneath. Everyone was friendly and looking forward to visiting these places.

Since the Corona Virus lockdown, we all said that it was nice to get out again.

18

PLEASE MENTION GRAPEVINE WHEN RESPONDING TO ADVERTISEMENTS .

I haven’t been on many coach trips, as I usually drive to most places, so it was a good opportunity to go on the trip, along with my husband and other like minded people.

A couple of people had arrived on their own, and by the end of the day had made friends with others on the trip and planned to go again .

We arrived at Dorothy Clive Gardens, a place I had never heard of until Steve mentioned it to me . He certainly chose the best time to take us, the place was beautiful with all the Rhododenrums out in full bloom, with every colour imaginable. It wasn’t too busy, and we could walk around on our own and meet up with everyone at a time allocated and suitable for everyone.We had enough time there, and felt it wasn’t rushed, (definately not like the organised trips I’ve seen on t.v, where they are all being marched around in a large group, not having time to see anything). Our coach was available if anyone wanted to just rest before we moved on the the next place.After admiring the plants, and the waterfall , the serene calmness of walking through the trees was a joy.

The Laburnum arch was fabulous and many photographs were taken. Later we had coffee and cake in the tea room.

Tucked away amongst the trees, a wedding took place, it looked so natural and beautiful. Next stop was Bridgemere Gardens, to say its one of the biggest garden centres in the UK was an understatement ! it was huge, a sprawling 50 acres. Bridgemere have Show Gardens that are set in 6 acres and is home to 13 stunning individual gardens, seven of which are Gold and Silver Medal award-winning gardens from the RHS Chelsea, Hampton Court and Tatton Flower Shows. Bridgemere Show Gardens are composed of thirteen separate gardens,including a Cottage Garden, a Victorian Topiary Garden, a Woodland Walk, a Pond and Waterfall Garden, and a Fryers Rose Garden and many more. Steve told us that we could meet up in the restaurant/cafe for lunch if anyone wanted to. I visited the farm shop there and bought dinner to take home, beautiful home made food.

Armed with an acer, and plants all in excellent condition, we headed back to the coach. On the way back, Steve had organised a fun garden themed quiz for us, we enjoyed and learned so much. Both Steve and Michelle made sure everyone had enjoyed their day, and Steve was pleased to answer any garden related questions, and through his extensive knowledge and passion, all were answered.

It was a fabulous day and I will go again. By Christine Gough - Grapevine Editor.

Please note: The price we paid included a breakfast cob and drink of tea/coffee, coach fee , and admission into the garden, so it was excellent value for money!

Jazz is back in Beeston – Big style.

Devoid of jazz for the past five years Beeston can now boast the return of regular jazz sessions thanks to the Royal British Legion. The club on Hall Croft has secured Nottingham Jazz Orchestra Big Band to appear every month.

Club entertainment officer Dave Clifford commented: “This opens the RBL club to jazz lovers from Beeston and across the region. We are proud to welcome NJO to their new home” The first gig for NJO in Beeston is on Sunday 21st August at 8pm featuring local vocalist Jeanie Barton.

Jeanie enthused: “It’s great to be welcoming the prestigious Nottingham Jazz Orchestra to Beeston - another proud feather in our town’s creative cap.

I’m very much looking forward to singing with them again, this time on home turf and very close to my birthday” Formed in the 1970’s, the NJO is 16-piece big band that has been blowing up a storm ever since.

It’s Nottingham’s longest-running jazz big band, and has been the launch-pad for many of today’s top-line professional players.

Lead musician with the NJO, Derek Lawton, commented: “The Nottingham Jazz Orchestra are excited to be putting the ‘Notts’ back into the Nottingham Jazz Orchestra by relocating to Beeston’s premier venue” NJO’s aim is to promote jazz to the widest possible audience, whilst its members gain the chance to be involved in a unique musical community of likeminded, passionate, talented musicians.

Band leader and artistic director Russ Buckberry said: “It will be wonderful to welcome big band jazz fans, old and new to our new home at RBL Beeston” Tickets and full information available from NJO website: nottsjazz.co.uk 36

Interactive stalls on how Broxtowe locals are combatting climate change including: Food - Music - Activities for children There will be opportunities to find out from leading sustainability experts on how we can all incorporate small lifestyle changes which can add up to make a big difference. There will be advice on topics including recycling, composting, climate change, wildflowers, biodiversity and much more. There will also be opportunities to discuss subjects such as switching to an electric vehicle, sustainable clothing, upcycling and allotments. The event will be supported by The Stapleford Town Council.

“The two festivals that have taken place so far this year have had an incredible turnout.” said Portfolio Holder for Environment, Councillor Helen Skinner. “It has been amazing seeing how committed residents are to reducing their carbon footprint and how invested they are in these events. We are looking forward to an exciting day in Stapleford which has been made possible by the continuing support of all our partners and attendees.”

Advanced Eye Exams for l AGE RELATED MACULAR DEGENERATION (AMD) l GLAUCOMA l POOR SIGHT

By Dr. S A Janjua BSc(Hons) MCOptom DOptom Prof Cert Glau Prof Cert LV Prof Cert Med Ret DipSV Director & Doctor of Optometry Brand new, state-of-the-art equipment at John Flynn Opticians in Beeston is now facilitating the very best diagnostic capabilities to ensure the best eyecare in the country. Optometrist Dr. Janjua’s new equipment provides hospital-standard insight into your health and is one of just a handful of such machines anywhere in the UK...

Foresight. Hindsight. Insight. It’s quite clear how much importance we place on sight. We’ve all come to recognise that a first-class optometrist will not only make your vision sharper, as a result of the prescription they determine you need, but will also help to assess your overall health, using your eyes to as an indicator of your general health. As eye-care technology has finessed, some optometrists have invested in decent technology, but some diagnostic equipment remains the preserve of dedicated eye-care departments in specialist hospitals such as Moorfields, Manchester Royal Eye Hospital and Nottingham’s Queens Medical Centre. Those specialist facilities and teaching hospitals have previously been able to boast the best diagnostic technology, which High Street opticians could only look upon with envy... that is, until now. Beeston’s John Flynn Opticians, established in 1938, recently took delivery of its new Heidelberg Spectralis machine which is – without exaggeration – the best OCT scanner available for any eye-care practitioners and one which most dedicated hospital eyecare departments would covet. It’s one of just a handful of machines here in the UK and as Dr. Janjua says, it’s the gold standard for dedicated eye hospitals, let alone a High Street optician, providing him with unprecedented accuracy and clarity when making a diagnosis.

An OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) machine is used to take a 3D scan of the eye to allow a specialist to assess the health of the optic nerve, macular and to detect and monitor the progression of conditions like age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and glaucoma.

John Flynn Opticians’ new machine, though, builds on this technology to create 4D imagery accurate to just a single micron – one hundredth of the width of a human hair.

Above: John Flynn Opticians new Heidelberg Spectralis OCT machine is one of the few in the UK, and is best in class, offering hospital-standard diagnosis of eye health for the optician’s patients.

The system also uses artificial intelligence to track the exact position of successive scans, overlaying them precisely to check changes over successive months or years. Fast, contact-free and painless, the system can also send images to hospital departments for other clinicians to review in the event of a referral.

“We can use the technology to examine tiny details that help us to detect eye disease at the earliest stages, reducing the risk of sight loss and improving our patients’ lives,” says Dr Janjua.

Naturally technology is nothing without expertise, and so Dr. Janjua is committed to interpreting the results of a scan and explaining findings in an accessible way.

With the highest quality diagnostic information comes the most accurate prescription, and alongside the very best ophthalmic lenses from across the industry – Zeiss, Nikon and Hoya – the practice’s state-of-the-art equipment is crucial, but only when used alongside the very best diagnostic skill and the provision of quality ophthalmic lenses and luxury frames.

The result is great service, clear vision and true peace of mind; a holistic service that’s clearly better at providing quality eyecare.

DO JUST N’T OUR WTAKE ORD FO READ R IT...

WHAT CUST O OME UR HAV RS TO SA E Y...

“Just picked up my third pair of specs from Flynns. I’ve used them for years and cannot fault them, from the excellent care with my sight test to Annette and Wendy who are on hand to advise, make sure your specs fit and sit properly and just generally make you feel welcome. Nothing is too much trouble. Thank you all.

Until my next visit.”

E. Taylor “I cannot speak highly enough of Dr Janjua and all his team at Flynn Opticians in Beeston.

Due to wrong prescriptions in the past going to him changed my life. Not only do you get the best product on the market and expert advice, everybody is so helpful and kind. I would not go anywhere else.”

J. West “I’d heard that the glasses were great quality and the service was great at John Flynn Optician. The staff have been very helpful and gave me all the facts I needed. I love the personal touch and that you don’t have to ask for help it’s just given. I love my new glasses - the style, the colour, the quality - everything.

Dan and Annette have been brilliant from the minute I walked in the door. They are very friendly and provided perfect service in every way.

I will be coming back and will share my experience with others.”

Hospice honours volunteers and staff for 570 years of long service .

Over fifty volunteers and staff have received long service awards from local charity Treetops Hospice – totalling an incredible 570 years of service.

Over half the volunteers receiving awards are based in the hospice’s nineteen charity shops located across Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. Income from the shops help provide nursing care and emotional support for local patients with life-limiting conditions, those who’ve been bereaved and their families.

Georgina Murphy received her five year award for volunteering at the Treetops charity shop in Long Eaton.

“Part of my motivation for volunteering was to give something back to Treetops for all the support I got when looking after my late husband. The friendship and camaraderie in the team is great and I would recommend volunteering to anybody. It’s amazing.”

Treetops welcomes more volunteers to get involved in their local charity shop as Anna Bown, Volunteer Services Co-ordinator, explained: “We are very grateful to all our volunteers for their hard work and dedication over the years. They play such a vital role. With their contribution and continued support, we can continue to provide nurses to care for patients at the very end of life, in their own home. We’d love to hear from enthusiastic people with spare time on their hands to help withthe key tasks that ensure each shop runs smoothly.

"You don’t need previous retail experience, and this is a perfect role for someone looking to enhance their CV, develop new skills, meet new people and have fun.”

Those interested in volunteering should contact Treetops Volunteer Services at volunteering@treetopshospice.org.uk or call 0115 949 1264. More information can be found on the charity’s website: www.treetopshospice.org.uk/volunteering

A message from Councillor Richard MacCrae.

As a Stapleford North Ward Councillor I am excited to let you know that works have started on the play area refurbishment at Pasture Road Recreation Ground in Stapleford. It’s planned to have the work completed early August, so it can be used over the school holidays.

The play area will have a selection of modern equipment to appeal to a range of abilities and feature an accessible surface.

Outside the fenced area will be a big basket swing and for the adults a small fitness area will be provided. The design is based on public consultation undertaken in 2021.

In general, the construction industry has a poor reputation for sustainability, but we have designed this project to have a minimal environmental footprint. All the old wood and steel play equipment will be sent for recycling, the old concrete will go for crushing into building aggregate, and the bark surfacing will be saved and used as a mulch to conserve moisture in a new woodland plantation this winter.

Zero waste from the project will go to landfill.

Infilling the old bark pit will be done with recycled aggregate and the new play surface will be made from shredded rubber salvaged from scrap cars! The new play equipment is made from fully recyclable materials, so at the end of it’s service life, the parks team will be able to refurbish sustainably again.

Actor Sam Beckinsale Becomes Nottinghamshire Charity’s Inaugural Patron.

Nottinghamshire based Domestic Abuse charity, Broxtowe Women’s Project (BWP), are delighted to announce that actor Samantha Beckinsale, who’s own roots run deep in the area, has been appointed as its first ever Patron.

Samantha may be best known for her roles in classic TV series’ London’s Burning, Holby City and Heartbeat, but she is also a vocal activist against Intimate Partner Abuse and Domestic Abuse.

As Patron, Samantha will work closely with BWP to raise awareness of the devastating impact of Domestic Abuse and how to spot the signs of an abusive relationship and will encourage survivors to access the help available to them. Such as the specialist local services BWP provides.

Samantha Beckinsale said: “I thought it could never happen to me. Samantha Beckinsale I bought into all the myths. I thought I was safe. I was wrong. You wouldn’t know the person who nearly killed me from Adam. On the surface. But anyone who has experienced and/or understands Intimate Partner and Domestic Abuse and Violence recognises him in an instant. Knows him inside out. Can even predict his every patterned move, without ever setting eyes on him.

“There are many incredible, committed, passionate people and organisations - so many more than we are aware of - working tirelessly to protect, educate, drive for and achieve the changes needed to stop the destruction and killings of targets of these perpetrators.“Broxtowe Women’s Project are one of those organisations and I am honoured, excited and beside myself to be asked to be Patron of such a passionate, inspiring, determined, White Ribbon accredited, kind and welcoming group that doesn’t turn anyone away. Who look at the grass roots holistic needs of the women and children who suffer from these crimes on all levels, who think outside of the box, who provide specialist services as well as all the education and awareness they do.“They are powerhouses each and every one of them. The fact they also have their roots in the same place I have mine, in my mind and heart, anchor us even more together. I just hope I do their faith in me justice ‘’ BWP Chair, Sally Olewe-Richards, said: “Sam has already made a difference to many people, using her voice and status as a much-loved actor to raise awareness of the complex and devastat-

ing nature of Domestic Abuse. We are so grateful to Sam for choosing to become our Patron and adding her voice to the work we do in Nottinghamshire.”

BWP CEO, Colette Byrne added: “We’re thrilled and honoured that Sam has chosen to be our Patron. She is such an inspirational woman and is a perfect fit to champion our charity as she is as passionate and unapologetic as we are about raising awareness and challenging the stigma and stereotypes around Domestic Abuse. We’re looking forward to working together to help people better understand Domestic Abuse and prevent and end it.”

58

PLEASE MENTION GRAPEVINE WHEN RESPONDING TO ADVERTISEMENTS .

Earlier this year Samantha took part in the powerful Domestic Abuse portrait exhibition ‹I AM›.

Alongside 38 other survivors, the 7 people who had to withdraw for personal safety and those who are in hiding with witness protection who shared a story but could not have a portrait taken, she shared her personal experience of coercive control publicly.

The exhibition was created by Award winning Portrait photographer Allie Crewe, commissioned by Safelives UK and Manchester’s SICK! Festival and an exhibit of 12 of these portraits was opened by The Duchess of Cornwall. For more information about the work of BWP, or if you, or someone you know needs help or advice, please visit our website, www.broxtowewomensproject.org.uk or email enquiries@broxtowewp.org

Broxtowe Women’s Project (BWP) For more information on Broxtowe Women’s Project visit: About us - Broxtowe Women’s Project or call 01773 719 111 Broxtowe Women’s Project (https://broxtowewomensproject.org.uk/) is a company limited by guarantee and a registered charity (Charity number: 1125946). It was set up in January 2001 to provide an information and support service for women and their children living in the Borough of Broxtowe who are experiencing or have experienced domestic abuse.

It provides a confidential helpline, outreach service, training courses and drop-in sessions, and a variety of well-being programmes all aimed at empowering women and young people helping them survive domestic abuse. It does not provide refuge housing directly but works with those affected by domestic abuse – signposting them to additional housing support if necessary, empowering survivors, nurturing children and young people to build resilience and develop healthy relationships, and preventing domestic abuse through awareness raising, training and campaigning.

BWP can support businesses by helping to produce a Domestic Abuse Policy and the related procedures, advising on implementing the Policy, providing awareness sessions to support those affected by domestic abuse, and providing resources for employees.

BWP’s opening hours are 9am-5pm Monday-Friday and we are closed on Bank Holidays.

If you need urgent advice please call the 24 hour free phone Domestic Violence Helpline on 0808 2000 247 or phone the Police in an emergency on 999.
