For the first time in its 30 year history, Treetops Hospice Care is welcoming visitors to it,s grounds on Saturday 29 April as part of the popular National Garden Scheme.

The National Garden Scheme is the country’s biggest annual celebration of gardening and invites garden owners to open their exceptional gardens to the public to raise money for good causes.Treetops Hospice Care provides nursing care and emotional support for adults, their families and carers across Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire free of charge.On 29 April, from 10.30am to 4pm, the public will be able to visit the 12 acre site of woodland and grounds which has been developed over the last ten years taking into consideration the needs and fundraising activities of the hospice.

The grounds boast thousands of daffodils and raised wheelchair walkways.

Working really hard to get the grounds ready Spring at Treetops A team of twelve volunteers work twice a week, every week of the year, to ensure the grounds look their best for patients, visitors and staff. Sarah Butcher has led the ‘Garden Gang’ at the hospice for over 13 years as she explains:“Treetops supported my family eleven years ago when my husband Tony was terminally ill. I wanted to help them in return so I became a volunteer. “When I was asked to put together a group to tidy the front borders, I never in my wildest dreams did I think we would tame the 12 acre site! “Many of the original garden volunteers are still working here twice a week to this day and we have formed a great supportive team. They are working really hard to get the grounds ready and I would like to thank them all for their hard work.

“Opening the garden and seeing it in the National Garden Scheme is like a dream come true as I never thought it would be possible to achieve the acceptable standard required.”

Admission is £3 per adult (free admission for children) and the entrance money goes to the National Garden Scheme which supports several national charities including Hospice UK. Visitors to Treetops will be able to enjoy light refreshments and a plant stall. Dogs on short leads are welcome.

Film Review La La Land

This fanciful, theatrical musical has been dominating

the award ceremonies; but is it worth making a song and dance about?

Set in modern day Hollywood, this film uses the typical 50s musical format and the costumes are subtly classic, to echo this by-gone era. Mia (Emma Stone), an aspiring actress working in a coffee shop and attending unsuccessful auditions, is thrown by fate into a love story with Seb (Ryan Gosling), a pianist with a passion for jazz. There are 3 love affairs battling each other throughout the film; Mia’s love for acting, Seb’s love for jazz, and their love for each other.

The film opens on a very cheesy, over the top musical number, which is excellently executed but a bit unnecessary as it doesn’t fit in with the tone of the movie as a whole. In Moulin Rouge-style surrealism, there are a couple of spontaneous moments where the protagonists can magically float among the stars during a musical number, which is metaphorically beautiful but isn’t to everyone’s taste.

Emma Stone seems to play the same character in every film, a quick witted, sharptongued girl who is slightly isolated from her stereotypical peers. This film is no different but she really kicks it up a notch in a particularly exposing solo performance; she reels you in and leaves you filled to the brim with emotion. Ryan Gosling essentially plays the same character as in The Notebook; a cheeky strong willed man who thrives in a tear-jerker film. They both play to their strengths magnificently and although predictable, they give the audience what they want. The cinematography is beautiful, every shot is like a piece of art. The camera glides the audience through the centre of the dance numbers, fully immersing them in the action and emotion.

It is heartbreakingly romantic, absolutely mesmerising and profound.

If your heart is made of stone, Emma and Ryan will make it weep.

Local teen Emma Snow writes about various topics and events each month in the Grapevine. “A voice for the young people in our Community”.

Millennials You’re probably wondering what a millennial is. It sounds like an alien species. You could be right there!

Many people don’t understand millennials because we are a different generation; the first generation to fully embrace new technology. The name ‘millennial’ is given to those born around 1984 onwards.

What exactly are the problems with millennials? Well, we are the generation who are deemed hard to manage, narcissistic, unfocused and lazy. We apparently confound leadership. We grew up this way due to ‘failed parenting’ and because we were told we can have anything we want, just because we want it. Things like getting a reward even if you didn’t finish first, so that we wouldn’t feel discouraged. This has resulted in us not knowing how to work, for example, in businesses.

Social media such as Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat hasn’t helped either and is a whole different issue. We are so good at putting filters on our lives!

Not only that, but using social media makes us feel good. When you receive a text message or receive 100 likes on an Instagram photo, it improves your

26

wellbeing. This is because it releases a chemical in your brain called dopamine, a chemical that is highly addictive and one that is also released when you gamble, smoke or drink alcohol. We want more of it. We then become addicted to social media where we need constant approval from our online ‘friends’.

If our likes start to dwindle, or our followers start to decrease on Twitter, we get worried. We start to ask ourselves questions. What did I do? Am I not cool anymore? Does no one like me?

So now, there is a problem. In workplaces, we have a new generation with lowered self-esteem, who want to give up after just a few weeks of starting a new job because they feel as though they aren’t making an impact. They aren’t gaining the instant gratification they would get from receiving likes on social media. The real world just doesn’t work like that.

Of course, these are just sweeping generalisations.

Take myself, as an example. Someone who uses social media every day, but for a different reason. I use social media to build myself as a brand and to promote my radio work, my writing or the latest interview I have carried out. It can become a tool, one that is very useful to create contacts and opportunities. But everything isn’t instant. Real life isn’t like the online world and I know that opportunities come with hard work.

Sometimes things don’t work out and if that happens, I know that I have to pick myself up and try again or work towards the next project.

I am not the only one. I know many people around my age that use social media in the correct way. I know people who are working tirelessly to get the grades they need for university or their chosen career path. I know people who are working their way up businesses.

I know people who are working hard.

Not all millennials are ‘self-interested’ and ‘lazy’. But I also know people who don’t use social media in the correct ways. I know people who can’t leave their phones for just a few minutes.

The point I am making is that not all millennials are the same. We have helped to shape a different world.

There are many businesses today that have a Facebook account or a Twitter account, which is the new way to attract customers more effectively than ever before. You can’t deny that it is just millennials who are supposedly addicted to mobile phones. When you’re next on public transport, take a look around and I guarantee that most people will be glued to their phones, no matter what their age. Maybe we are a generation that not many understand but there have been generations before us where people haven’t understood them. The world wouldn’t change and develop if successive generations didn’t change things. Without change, the world would be a boring place and not progress.

PLANNING APPEAL DECISION – FORMER BRAMCOTE HILLS GOLF COURSE A Government Inspector has overturned Broxtowe Borough Council’s decision to refuse a planning application at the former Bramcote Hills Golf Course site.

The Council’s Planning Committee felt that proposed development would have an adverse impact on the open and undeveloped nature of the site, which would detract from the picturesque surroundings of Bramcote Ridge and Bramcote Hills as a whole and the application was refused in July 2016.

Leader of the Council, Councillor Richard Jackson said: “I am extremely disappointed that local democracy has been overturned by an unelected planning inspector in spite of our concerns about the application and its impact locally.

Our Planning Committee listened to local residents in reaching its decision to refuse permission for this development. It appears that the planning inspector hasn't taken this or the government’s stated desire to protect open spaces and respect the views of local people and their elected representatives into account.

I am meeting with the Secretary of State next week and this issue will be at the top of the agenda.”

For more information, please contact Broxtowe Borough Council on 0115 917 3482 or email pabc@broxtowe.gov.uk

Looking after your child’s eyes Take a look at lookingafteryoureyes.org to check the stages of development of your child’s eyes or watch the video with your child to find outwhat happens during an eye examination.

Your child’s eyesight develops and matures between birth and the age of 9. During these years, it is essential that your child receives regular sight tests and any visual problems such as lazy eyes, squints, short-sightedness and long-sightedness are identified. Some schools do have a specialist screening service for children aged between 5 and 6 but at times this is too late in development pathway.

The earlier any sight problems are picked up and treated the better the outcome will be – this will be important for example in the development of binocular vision and stereopsis – the ability to appreciate 3D. If there are problems and they are not picked up at an early age, the child may have permanently reduced vision in one or both

eyes.

If you have any concerns about your child’s eyes, or if there is a history of squint or lazy eye in the family, do not wait for the vision screening at school.

Take your child to a local optometrist for a sight test.

This is free under the NHS for children under 16.

Your child does not have to be able to read or talk to have a sight test.

Our view You might think that the last thing your little one wants to do is sit in the opticians chair, but at Jaysons Opticians we make sure it’s always fun. We do everything we can to make sure children don’t get bored from the moment they arrive.

Over the years our highly experienced optometrists has developed a number of tricks to encourage even the most reluctant children to participate in their eye test. Using a number of interactive methods, your child can look forward to a fun and entertaining visit to their optician.We recommend that your children have their eyes tested annually from the age of 3 1/2 years at a specialist optometrist.

Grown Ups Choice Florence and the Highwayman by Angela Rigley It’s always great to find a local author to support—and even better when the book

is great read as well This is a wonderfully fun and beautifully written period romance, but with a little more zing than Jane Austen. Florence is due to marry a great bore, but rather shockingly is kidnapped and has to fend off the attentions of a Highwayman… or is he? The characters are well developed and the story trots along at a good pace with humour and charm. Rigley is based in Derbyshire and a love for nature and our great countryside is also encapsulated in the book. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it, and have since started Nancie—which feels a little darker so far...

Children’s Choice Letter to Pluto by Lou Treleaven

One for the older children this time, perhaps KS 1-2, this book is a series of letters from the lovely Jon here on Earth, to his intergalactic penpal Straxi— who is a GIRL… Jon isn’t really very keen on writing at all and certainly not to a strange alien, however his teacher Mrs Hall is quite definite.

This is such a fun idea, and the letters are packed with pictures and extra information so it really doesn’t feel like you’re reading a whole big book. The creativity is really impressive and the story is very funny. Some of the language is quite complex, and we did read it together first so check some of the more unusual words and understanding. There are a number of alien words as well, which are great fun to play around with. w ww . mrsaverag eeval u ates. co .u k

Baking tips: 1. Once you have poured the cake mixture into the baking tin give it a tap on the counter to release any air bubbles.

2.Oven temperatures vary, so check your cake five minutes before the end of the recommended cooking time.

3.Not sure if your cake is cooked properly? Try inserting a fine skewer into the centre of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is cooked.

4.Leave the oven door closed! Open it too early and your cake could collapse in the middle To advertise call 07854990608 or visit our website www.beechpublications.co.uk GRAPEVINE-wollaton March 2017.indd 43

GRAPEVINE COMPETITION TO WIN TWO TICKETS to see legend WILKO JOHNSON Rock City on Friday 21st April 2017!

2017 - A dual celebration - The Wilko Johnson Band 30th Anniversary & Wilko Johnson's 70th Birthday.

‘I’m supposed to be dead!’. So said Wilko in a recent interview, having been diagnosed in late 2012 with terminal pancreatic cancer. But despite the doctors’ worst predictions he continued to perform and present himself with vigour and a new zest for life. In 2013, Wilko announced that, thanks to a second opinion and subsequent life-saving surgery, he was cancer-free.

“Man, there’s nothing like being told you’re dying to make you feel alive.”

The man from Canvey Island, who studied English at Newcastle University before doing a bit of travelling, could have been a retired teacher by now, sucking on a pipe and whittling away at his pension. But no, Wilko was lured into music by the dark magic spun by his first Telecaster, bought from a music store in Southend, Essex, soon after becoming the strutting, grimacing, six-string rhythmic powerhouse behind Lee Brilleaux in Dr Feelgood.

Throughout the mid70s, Wilko duck-walked his way across countless stages and venues in the UK with Dr Feelgood in the vanguard of the pub rock movement, performing the gutsy down-to-earth rock and roll that was a welcome antidote to prog-rock.

Heavily influenced by legendary guitarist Mick Green from ’60s rockers Johnny Kidd & The Pirates, Wilko employs a finger-style, chop-chord strumming action (the ‘stab’, as he describes it). This allows for chords and lead to be played at the same time, giving a fluency and a distinctive sound very unlike the cleaner swat of a pick. With this economic sound, coupled with that black-suited, scowling look, and the yards he covered across the stage pausing only to twist the guitar lead out from under his feet, Wilko became one of the guitar heroes of the era. His influence was felt in bands up and down the country, and later in the emergent punk revolution (Joe Strummer of the Clash bought a Tele after

seeing Wilko play). Feelgood had four successful albums in Wilko’s time, then followed a busy creative period playing in an early incarnation of the Wilko Johnson Band, the Solid Senders, before he joined Ian Dury’s band The Blockheads, in 1980.All through the ’80s, ’90s and into the new millennium he continued to gig in the UK, Europe and Japan. But it was when Julien Temple’s award winning Oil City Confidential came out in 2009, with Wilko emerging as the film’s star, that the world once again sat up and paid attention to his extraordinary talent.

His career took another twist in 2010, when he was offered an acting part in the hit series Game of Thrones, playing the role of mute executioner Ilyn Payne. He appeared in 4 episodes shown in 2011 and 2012. In the same year, Wilko and biographer Zoë Howe released the book ‘Wilko Johnson: Looking Back At Me’, a coffee-table book of Wilko’s favourite memories and images. The book was published by Cadiz.

2014 saw the release of the hit album ‘Going Back Home’, Wilko Johnson’s collaboration with Roger Daltrey which went to Number 3 in the UK album charts. The pair decided to work on the album together not just because they were both huge fans of Johnny Kidd and the Pirates, but because, as Wilko was still believed to be dying from cancer, it was believed that they’d

‘better get on with it’. Also on the album are Norman Watt-Roy and Dylan Howe, both members of the Wilko Johnson band, Steve ‘West’ Weston and Mick Talbot (Style Council). It was produced by Dave Eringa.In 2015, Wilko and Julien Temple teamed up again for the documentary The Ecstasy Of Wilko Johnson, a film which explored Wilko’s diagnosis of terminal cancer, and the unexpected reprieve that followed. The film would become quite the hit, captivating audiences whether they saw it on the big screen or on BBC 4, and earning a ‘Kermode’ award in 2016.

Wilko’s new memoir, ‘Don’t You Leave Me Here’, was published in Spring 2016 via Little, Brown.

A Message From Stapleford Community Group Please keep a look out as thieves have struck in Stapleford and stole tools from vans in the area.

Two Makita radios, one Stihl saw, three impact drivers, one drill and one circular saw were stolen from a Ford van over night, and the doors were locked when the owner went to the vehicle and realised the tools had been stolen, this is why it is thought that thieves are using a Special Key which is widely available to purchase online.

The key can open Ford vans, thieves can open the doors with the special key, steal the goods then lock the door afterwards.

Councillor Richard MacRae has mentioned the use of such a special key at various meetings he attends and has made the Police fully aware of such a device, he has been made aware of several other such occasions when vans have apparently been broken into but the doors are still locked.

A second van has also broken into overnight recently, as thieves completely removed the door lock to gain entry, this time Stihl chainsaw and a petrol blower were stolen.

If anyone is offered such items please call 101 and report it to the Police asap.

Of course keeping your van empty is always the best bet but unfortunately this is not always possible.

Donna MacRae - Secretary Stapleford Community Group

AT THE HEART OF YOUR FUNERAL PLANNING When we started providing funeral pre-payment plans more than 20 years ago, the idea of ‘paying for your funeral in advance’ was quite unusual.

Today, funeral plans are more well known, and available from a wide variety of sources. However, you wouldn’t buy a will from a DIY superstore, so why buy something so important from someone who knows nothing about funerals, your local area, or you.

Buying a plan from Gillotts means you can sit down with one of our staff who know local facilities and talk about what you want your funeral to be like.

If you wish, you can go into details: music, flowers, what everyone should wear, which photographs to Eastwood Office

use and anything else that might be in your mind.

Most importantly, you can make sure the plan you take out will be right for you and know who will be taking care of you when the time comes.

Visit www.gillotts.co.uk/funeral-planning, any of our funeral homes for an information pack, or phone to chat. If you already have a funeral plan that you’re worried may not meet your needs, or that is registered with a funeral home you’re not familiar with, get in touch and we’ll advise you.

LET US FOCUS ON YOUR CONCERNS At a time of bereavement, it’s only natural that your mind is in a whirl, with questions that need answering and concerns that need addressing.

At Gillotts Funeral Directors, we have generations of experience in leading families through this difficult time and providing a compassionate, flexible and high quality service.

Our philosophy is to tailor the service we provide to suit each family – some prefer us to visit them at home, others prefer to visit us in the office. Some people want us to do everything – order flowers, produce service sheets, place press notices – whilst others prefer to do things themselves.

National Trust Nottingham Centre, Summer 2017 Nottingham Centre members have plenty of activities to look forward to over the summer months, including excursions, walks and holidays.

Coach Excursions -These include a trip to Coventry Cathedral and Leicester Guildhall, Hughenden Manor(NT), Lichfield Cathedral and the National Memorial Arboretum, and in September, Waddesden Manor(NT).

Walks - Several walks are planned, some of which start from Nottingham by public transport (that’s my kind of walk) to places of particular interest. In June there’s a walk from Bonsall to Rowsley in Derbyshire, in July, a walk from Knowle to Packwood House(NT), in August it’s Crich Stand to Cromford Mill, and finally, in September, Greetham to Edith Weston via Rutland Water.

Holidays - The short walking holiday in May has become a popular annual event. This year members will enjoy the beauty of Tintern and the Wye Valley. Two other holidays

are planned: one in June ‘Southern Delights’ will explore Hayling Island and Hampshire, while the break in September offers an opportunity to visit Lancashire Hotspots – in particular the Hotspots of Manchester!

Garden Group - Visits planned for this popular group include Thoresby Hall Gardens and Chatsworth RHS Flower Show.

Local and Family History Group - In addition to the delights listed above this group offers visits to Ruddington Museums, Stoneywell, the charming recently acquired Arts and Crafts house in Leicestershire (NT),and Beauvale Priory in Nottinghamshire, a ruined medieval priory inhabited by monks until the 16th century. At the Nottingham Centre there is something for everyone!

Donations As supporters of National Trust members are delighted to be able to donate to various properties in need. In 2017 the following sums will be given to NT properties in the East Midlands: To Belton House - £700.00 towards the purchase of

two urns and plinths for the gardens.

To Stoneywell - £500.00 for a wooden display cart for outdoor use.To Monksthorpe Chapel, Gunby,Lincs. £1120.00 towards restoration of the baptistry.

The National Trust Nottingham Centre is a friendly organisation: visitors are always welcome to talks, which take place at the Nottingham Mechanics, North Sherwood Street, Nottingham.

To join you must be a member of National Trust.

Cost is £6.00 for a single person, £10.00 for two people living at the same address.

A bargain.

Excursions and holidays are popular and quickly get booked up with priority given to Nottingham Centre members, but non members may be put on a waiting list.

Your blood saves lives. Your blood donation is an amazing gift to people who need it in an emergency or for on-going medical treatment.

We need over 6,000 people to give blood every day to meet the needs of hospitals and patients. Each year we need approximately 200,000 new donors, as some donors can no longer give blood. Most people between the ages of 17-65 are able to give blood.

Around half our current donors are over 45. That’s why we need more young people (over the age of 17) to start giving blood, so we can make sure we have enough blood in the future.Find out who can give blood, and then book an appointment to give blood.

To find out if you can give blood please go on our website: https://www.blood.co.uk/who-can-give-blood/ You can call us on 0300 123 23 23 To advertise call 07854990608 or visit our website www.beechpublications.co.uk GRAPEVINE-wollaton March 2017.indd 61
