WELCOME LETTER

Hello readers

Welcome to the June/July issue of All Things Local! Hopefully, by the time you read this, the weather will have perked up a little … it’s been a pretty soggy spring so far!

All the rain should be doing the gardens good though and, when the sun does make an appearance, we’ll be able to enjoy some ‘blooming lovely’ displays of colour. If doing your garden is too much of a challenge or if you just want some advice on what to plant where, there are plenty of local experts willing to help in our ‘Homes and Gardens’ section – and, of course, the same goes for all our other businesses too! We’ve got a wealth of talented, knowledgeable and experienced people within these pages; you don’t have to travel far to find an expert, there are plenty right here on our doorstep!

At this time of year, many of us are thinking about holidaying. Where will your adventures take you in 2023? Our travel article, on page 15, looks at some stunning places to visit in Turkey. If you haven’t been, it’s a wonderful country and is well worth a trip.

Team ATL are big camping and caravanning fans and between us we’ll be taking trips to various locations around the UK, enjoying a bit of R&R and some time in nature. Sometimes, we don’t even venture out of the Peak District – you don’t have to travel far to feel like you’re on holiday! If you’re out Bakewell way, there’s a fantastic walk featured on page 31 which takes in the beautiful Ashford in the Water and Monsal Head Viaduct. At 8.8 miles / 14.2km it’s quite a lengthy trek, with a steep climb at the end, but it’s a beautiful route that’s worth the challenge if you’re up for it!

Talking of challenges, why not try your luck with this issue’s competitions? Turn to page 6 to have a go at our crossword competition, where you could

win a Sunday lunch for 2 courtesy of The Kedleston Country House or, on page 25, have a go at winning a bottle of Champagne in our Champagne Sudoku! Remember to get your entries in by 14th June to be in with a chance of being one of our lucky winners.

And, don’t forget, it’s Father’s Day on Sunday 18th June – shop local for something really unique to say just how much your dad, father figure, or that special man in your life means to you. From gifts, to vouchers, to meals out, there are so many ways to say ‘thanks, Dad’.

We hope you enjoy this edition of All Things Local and we’ll be back in a couple of months with our August/September issue. Until then, have a great start to the summer!

With very best wishes, Team ATL

Just a Thought...

Virtually Virtuous

I remember an embroidery on the wall of our village hall when I was growing up. In dutiful delphinium blue cross stitch it read, ‘Patience is a Virtue’. As an energetic 8-year-old I thought that sounded drier than a packet of cream crackers but, as I approach 40, I think I am beginning to see the wisdom.

Once upon a time we were glad just to have the internet; now if it dares to buffer we hit meltdown! We are not content to watch what is on TV at the time we sit down, we want instant access to the show we want, when we want it. If a new series deigns to only release one episode a week we are stomping off to bed with gritted teeth – we need all 14 episodes to watch back-to-back!

We have zero patience.

Your social media post has been live for 3 minutes and still no comments – soul crushing! That message was read 54 seconds ago and not even an emoji response, painful!

It is an ill-gained effect of modern life, and it comes at a

Belper set for Ultrafast Internet Speeds upgrade.

Did you know that engineering work to connect more than 8000 homes and businesses to full fibre broadband is set to begin in May.

Once completed, Belper, Kilburn and many other surrounding villages will join more than 650 other rural communities across 23 counties that are connected to Gigaclear’s full fibre broadband network – that’s more than 380,000 properties stretching from Devon in the west to Essex in the east and up into Derbyshire.

Gigaclear has been working closely with local parish councils, community groups, the county council and the highways authority to minimise any disruption during the work and hopes to have the vast majority of it completed by November.

Sam Christmas, Gigaclear’s Community Engagement Manager for Derbyshire, said the planning team was acutely aware of the

cost to our health. Humans were not designed to live life at this breakneck speed. Instantaneous breeds unrest, instability, anxiety, depression and is a definite hormone hoover. It is hard to feel that rush of dopamine when you haven’t had to wait for something, work at it or hope for it.

So, what do we do? Well, we make like Take That and we try a little patience. We tap into our inner Guinness-mode and remember that good things do come to those who wait. I have definitely benefitted from engaging in breathwork, slowing down and trying to relinquish control of so much in the moment. Don’t let the virtual world dictate the pace. Stop. Wait. Breathe.

See, you are virtually virtuous.

challenging layout of the communities we are extending to, their picturesque settings, as well as their historical landmarks, when deciding how best to extend its network.

He said: “There will inevitably be some short-term inconvenience caused during the engineering work. However, by listening to residents and keeping them informed and updated on how we are progressing, I believe we’ll be able to deliver the long-term benefits of full fibre broadband with as little impact as possible.”

The good news is Gigaclear has identified that around 60 per cent of the cable laying can be carried out using existing infrastructure, such as poles and underground ducts owned by Openreach. This will help reduce any disruption and will mean the work can be carried out more quickly.

Anyone who would like to be kept up to date with the works can sign up for regular updates by visiting www.gigaclear.com/mycommunity. They’ll also be able to find out when their property is ready for service.

Gigaclear will be delivering a series of community engagement events over the coming months to allow residents to raise any questions or concerns they may have. Be sure to subscribe for more details.

Bean-tastic July Can you feel the excitement in the air? I know I can!

July is time to celebrate National Baked Bean Month.

Baked beans have been such a staple of the Great British diet for over a century that they practically run through our veins.

As much as we may love to joke about the “musical fruit” aspect, there’s no denying these little legumes are both versatile and delicious.

One reason for their popularity is their unique, sweet and savoury flavour. They are slow-cooked to perfection, resulting in a rich, hearty texture that’s perfect for topping toast, jacket potatoes or adding to your full-English.

Fun baked bean facts: • Birmingham, UK was once crowned the capital of baked beans as it was found that most Brummies ate beans at least once a week.

• The iconic “Beanz Meanz Heinz” slogan was penned in a London pub back in 1967 and has certainly stood the test of time.

• Heinz Baked Beanz were first sold in the UK by Fortnum and Mason in 1901, where they were considered a luxury item.

• If you’ve ever wondered how many beans are in a can, wonder no more: there are approximately 465 beans in each can of Heinz Baked Beanz.

• The secret recipe for the bean sauce is so closely guarded that only two people in the world know the exact combination of spices used.

How to celebrate: • Count how many beans are in the next tin you open great fun for kids on a rainy day.

• Get creative - how many other ways can you use baked beans? It doesn’t just have to be on toast.

• Did you know that other baked bean brands are available?

Gather some friends for a blind taste testing night.

• Try figuring out the Heinz secret recipe – the ingredients are listed on the can, so it can’t be that tricky!

However you choose to celebrate, just be mindful of the effects of excessive baked bean consumption…

Poem: Simple Things Sitting in the warmth of the evening sun Watching bird bath and bird feeder fun Hands clasped round a mug of chocolate that’s hot The simplest of things that mean such a lot A hand-written letter in unexpected post Steaming hot tea with thick buttered toast A hug or a smile, a baby’s laugh Sumptuously sinking in a big deep bath Crisp clean sheets, washing line dried Hand-picked flowers they bunched and tied A hand held tight to reassure Freshly baked bread behind your oven door Simple things raise our spirits – we know this is true May your day be full of the simplest things too.

Curious Cats Why does your feline friend like to sit in a box or bring you (unwelcome) gifts? There are some explanations!

Cat presents

Few owners are grateful for the gift of a dead mouse or bird posted through the cat flap. But it’s natural instinct for cats to hunt, and presenting their catch to you means you are part of their family and they want to boast of their success. There’s no point getting angry as they won’t understand it.

Cat in a box

Cats are instinctively attracted to small, enclosed spaces because they provide a sense of safety and security. They can feel protected and observe their surroundings without feeling threatened. The box is also warm, smooth and slightly padded. As far as a cat is concerned, what’s not to like?

DO YOU NEED OUR HELP?

We are here if you need us

Cat on top

As a natural hunter, climbing to high places allows a cat to survey their environment and assess potential threats. It is also a natural form of exercise for cats.

It helps them maintain their balance, coordination and agility, which are important for hunting and self-defence.

No water, thanks

Cats are descendants of desert-dwelling wild cats, and their ancestors did not need to swim or interact with water regularly. As a result, cats did not develop an affinity for water like some other animals, such as dogs. Furthermore, water can make their fur mat, hence making it difficult to groom, which, as a fastidious animal, can be uncomfortable.

Five Awe-inspiring Destinations in Turkey A transcontinental crossroads between Europe and Asia, Turkey is a cultural melting pot of contrasting flavours, cultures and religions. It’s this sensorial richness, combined with its natural wonders and ancient history, that’s earned it a place at the top of travellers’ bucket lists.

Whether you’re seeking adventure or relaxation, there’s plenty to keep you enthralled – from the fairy-tale palaces of Cappadocia to the azure waters of Olüdeniz’s Blue Lagoon. With so much to explore, we’ve rounded up five of the most awe-inspiring spots in Turkey.

Blue Mosque, Istanbul Where better to start than in Turkey’s captivating capital? With a cityscape framed by imperial Islamic mosques, glistening palaces and towering minarets, there’s beauty to admire behind every corner.

By far one of Turkey’s most iconic man-made structures is Istanbul’s Blue Mosque, built in the Ottoman era in the early 1600s. Adorned with thousands of handmade Iznik tiles, and painted in various shades of blue, the mosque is still used as a sacred place of worship today – while also remaining open to visitors.

Hierapolis-Pamukkale, Büyük Menderes Valley Nestled within a steep valley in south-western Turkey, Pamukkale’s white travertine terraces are a geological phenomenon.

The spectacle is created by mineral springs that have cascaded down the hillside for thousands of years.

The natural pools are terraced into the hillside, overspilling with the mineral-rich spring water, which dries over time, leaving behind that perfect white, frozen appearance.

It can get busy during peak season, so for some peace and quiet, head to the ancient ruins and hot springs of the nearby spa town Hierapolis.

Cappadocia, Central Anatolia Set high on the Anatolian plateau, the curious landscapes of Cappadocia will transport you to fantasy land. Honeycoloured rocks have eroded into otherworldly sculptures resembling minarets, mushrooms and ‘fairy chimneys’, while entire subterranean cities, churches and monasteries lie hidden beneath the surface, carved out by settlers since the Bronze Age. Take a hot-air balloon ride at sunset, or admire the landscape from the terrace of a rooftop hotel. This is truly one of the most romantic spots in the world!

Blue Lagoon, Olüdeniz Turkey is known for its sun, sea and sand, with a staggering 8,333 kilometres of coastline. However, when it comes to crystal-clear waters and white sand, Olüdeniz’s Blue Lagoon and nearby beaches are hard to beat.

This bay of azure water with its strip of white sand is the perfect place to kick back and relax, but if that’s not your cup of tea there are lots of activities to keep you entertained. Why not take a paragliding trip or try your hand at paddle boarding in the lagoon?

Ephesus, Izmir Once housing The Temple of Artemis, one of the original Seven Wonders of the World, the remains of Ephesus recount a fascinating narrative of the 9,000-year-old settlement. After more than a century of excavation, we know that it was once a vibrant city of over 250,000 inhabitants, complete with colonnaded streets, temples, a huge amphitheatre and the Celsus library, which still stands today.

Short Story The Dig “Hey you Nathan!” Derek looked up from his hole and hailed his neighbour’s young boy.

Nathan had been riding his bike around the cul-de-sac, watching Derek dig his hole in the farmer’s paddock with mild interest. Digging was thirsty work. The spoil heap was piling up around Derek, and his metal detector was still buzzing like a mosquito.

Nathan squeezed his brakes to a halt. “What you doing down there? Digging to Australia?”

Derek was now four feet down and still hadn’t got to the bottom of whatever was making the metal detector beep.

Something big, possibly; something valuable, potentially.

“I’m doing important archaeology,” Derek replied. “Would you be so kind as to go and knock on the door of my house?

My wife Debbie will be at home. Ask her if you can have a can of pop for Derek. She’ll know what you mean.”

“But will I know what I mean?” Nathan scratched his head.

Derek sighed. “Just ask Debbie to bring me a drink. I’m rather parched.”

“Are you allowed to dig that hole?” The boy didn’t move.

“Yes, I’ve asked permission.”

Nathan rang his bell gaily for no apparent reason. “I like digging,” he said finally.

“Good for you. If you fetch me a drink, I’ll let you have a go with my spade.”

The boy narrowed his eyes. “Am I allowed to play with your buzzy machine?”

“Certainly not. This is a sensitive piece of professional equipment. It’s not a toy.”

The very idea, Derek thought.

Debbie had grumbled for a week about how much he’d spent on his metal detector. He reasoned there was no point having one unless it was top of the range. Besides, it would pay for itself in no time; where there’s muck there’s brass, as his father always said.

Nathan looked at the metal detector with renewed admiration. “How about I just hold it?”

“No, you can’t just hold it.”

Nathan rested his bike on the pile of soil and scrambled down into the hole, kicking dirt everywhere.

“You switch it on here,” Derek demonstrated, mustering all his patience. “Then you point it at the ground and listen for the beep.”

The boy put his hands around the handle while Derek watched anxiously. He aimed it at the ground and the detector chirped urgently.

“What’s it doing now?” Nathan asked in awe.

“It’s telling us there’s something made of metal down below.”

“What sort of something?”

“Could be anything. A bronze helmet, a Viking hoard, a sword. Or it could even be something very small like a nail.”

“Could it be a bike?” Nathan swung the detector up in the air, nearly taking Derek’s cap off. “Or even my toenails?”

He swung it back at his feet.

“Not toenails, no.” Derek was unable to wrestle the equipment from the child’s fierce grip. “It wouldn’t work on them.”

“You just said nails could make it beep.” Nathan frowned.

Derek wondered what on earth they were teaching kids at school these days. “Nails you hammer, but not toenails.

They’re made of something else.”

“Like what?” the boy asked earnestly.

“I’m not sure precisely,” Derek confessed.

“What about yours?” He aimed it at Derek’s toes and the detector squealed louder than ever. “Your nails are made out of metal, listen.” He did it again.

“That’s not my nails.” Derek slumped, realising he’d wasted a whole morning and now had a very big hole to fill in.

“That’s my steel toe caps.”

“But didn’t you say you were thirsty?” The child was a fierce negotiator.

1616

“Alright,” Derek relented, “but only for one minute.”

Recipe Pasta, Pronto!

Fuss-free and made in moments, Spaghetti alla Caprese (spaghetti from Capri) is a blissfully simple idea, yet looks stunningly sophisticated for a light lunch or quick midweek supper dish.

Serves: 4-6 Takes: 30 minutes Ingredients: • 250g cherry tomatoes on the vine, ripe and flavourful, cut into quarters • 1 clove garlic, peeled and sliced • 3 tbsp olive oil • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper • 500g spaghetti • 125g buffalo mozzarella, torn into bite-sized pieces • A generous handful of fresh basil, torn • 2 tsp chopped fresh oregano • Freshly grated Parmesan, to serve

Add the mozzarella to the marinating tomatoes. Add the spaghetti to the bowl of tomatoes and mix through, adding a little of the pasta cooking water if needed. Sprinkle with basil and oregano. Serve straight away, sprinkled with Parmesan.

Method: Place the tomatoes in a large bowl with the garlic, oil, salt and pepper, and leave to marinate for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in a large pan of boiling, salted water until al dente.

This will very much depend on personal preference, so taste as you are cooking and stop when the pasta is cooked to your liking.

Drain, reserving a cup of cooking water.

Beer: The Leith Beer Mile

Leith, Edinburgh, hasn’t always been the desirable place it is now, with the memory of high unemployment and rundown buildings fading fast following nearly three decades of regeneration.

Today, the Leith waterfront is stunning with a thriving community of small businesses making it one of the best places to live in Britain, according to the Sunday Times.

An attraction for me, however, is the array of bars serving locally sourced beers and breweries, all in close proximity, creating what is now being called the ‘Leith Beer Mile’.

2019. With 10 beers on tap, expect the brewery’s classics alongside the finest of Scotland and the UK’s craft beers, as well as a selection of wines, local spirits and soft drinks.

Moonwake Beer Co

Established in 2021, their head brewer believes there is a beer out there for everyone and their mission statement is to create balanced beers for a wide range of people to enjoy. A vibrant, colourful taproom with views overlooking the shiny brew kit guarantees you can’t drink their beer any fresher.

Word on Wine Summer is in full swing and our thoughts turn towards cool white wines drunk on the patio in the sun.

During a recent trip to a new wine merchant that I have found in Castle Donington, he asked me to taste one of his wines … well, who am I to turn down a free glass of wine?! In the blind tasting, I recognised the flavours of the wine and correctly identified it as a Torrontés from Argentina.

It is thought that Torrontés came to Argentina from Galicia in Spain and became the area’s most widely grown white wine grape. It likes the high altitudes and mountain breezes. There are 3 types found in Argentina: the Riojano, Sanjuanino and Mendocino varieties. All are derived from the Muscat grape, with one being from a California strain. Coming from a Muscat grape it carries the floral flavours and aromas. It likes this area so much that it is also grown on the other side of the Andes in Chile.

The wine I found is Manos Negras Torrontés from Salta in Argentina. It is produced by Bodega Catena Zapata, by one of Argentina’s most knowledgeable viticulturists, Alejandro Sejanovich, who has worked at the Bodega for over 16 years.

The vineyard focuses on latitude winemaking in the northern stretches of Cadayate in Salta. With warm sunny days and cool

Motoring

Motoring The History of the Audi TT There are some cars that offer an incredibly recognisable shape and silhouette, and one of those is the Audi TT. Across its three generations, all versions have shared similar styling, and have built up a loyal following since the TT was first introduced in 1998. It’s become one of the most iconic pieces of car design in modern history.

But the TT will soon be no more, as Audi looks to focus more on electrification, which this petrolpowered sports car just can’t be a part of. Ahead of the model being discontinued later in 2023, we take a look back at the TT’s history.

1995 – The concept begins

Audi presented a concept version of its sports car at the 1995 Frankfurt Motor Show. The TT, with its cool shape and fun drive, was intended as a more affordable sporting model in the German firm’s line-up.

The name comes from the famous Isle of Man Tourist Trophy (TT) bike racing.

1998 – Concept becomes reality

Three years later, the production TT kept the cool shape and design details of the original concept car.

The Coupe model arrived in 1998 and the drop-top Roadster version a year later.

The model had stability issues at particularly high speeds, needing a full Audi recall to remedy this with a rear spoiler and electronic stability program. Cars escaping the recall are now the most valuable.

2003 – V6 engine joins the range

Previously available with a choice of 1.8-litre turbocharged petrol engines, plus Audi’s quattro all-wheeldrive system, in 2003 the TT was offered with a 3.2litre petrol V6 engine, taking the power up to 247bhp.

Quattro was included as standard.

2006 – The second hit: stick to what you know The second-generation Audi TT adopted a slightly more angular design, and was sportier to drive and slightly bigger.

A new 2.0-litre petrol engine was introduced, while an adaptive ‘Magnetic’ suspension was an option. The TT Roadster arrived in 2007, along with a diesel-powered model returning more than 50mpg.

2008 – Sportier TTS and RS models introduced

The much sportier TTS and TT RS models included a 268bhp 2.0-litre petrol engine in the TTS, and a 335bhp 2.5-litre RS version, giving 0-60mph in just 4.4 seconds and a top speed of 174mph.

2014 – A high-tech TT makeover

The third-generation TT was one of Audi’s most advanced models at the time.

A minimalist dashboard with a large 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster modernised the TT. 2.0-litre petrol and diesel engines were available, with the TTS uprated to 306bhp.

The TT RS arrived in 2016 with a 395bhp 2.5-litre, five-cylinder engine. 0-60mph took just 3.5 seconds, making it the quickest TT ever made.

2018 – Marking twenty years in style

A facelift version brought a subtle redesign, more power and additional equipment.

The TT 20 Years special edition was limited to just 999 units worldwide.

2005 – Quattro Sport marks the end of the Mk1

2023 – End of the road

Differentiated by its Alcantara interior and black roof, special Recaro Pole Position sports seats were optionally available.

The highly limited TT RS Iconic Edition, of which just eleven examples will come to the UK, features an Audi Exclusive interior and sportier body kit.

The Quattro Sport edition was limited to 800 units in the UK. Engine power increased to 237bhp and weight-saving measures were introduced.

2222

The 2023 Final Edition bolsters equipment levels and adds unique elements, including an Alcantara steering wheel.

growing up, loss, sex, depression, his identity, and understanding the events that shaped him.

Controversial at the time of publication for its frank language, this ultimate American coming-of-age novel was an instant best-seller.

The Gold Neil Forsyth & Thomas Turner The astonishing true story of the robbery of the century, Brink’s-Mat, Britain’s biggest heist. On 26th November 1983, an armed gang stole gold bullion worth almost £26 million from the Brink’s-Mat security depot near London’s Heathrow Airport. For 40 years, myths and legends have grown around the Brink’s-Mat heist and the events that followed. This is the conclusion of extensive research and includes exclusive testimony from one of the original robbers, who gives his version of events for the first time.

Fitness Matters Boxing for Fitness

Boxing is a combat sport that has been practised for years but it has recently become more popular as a form of exercise: ‘boxing for fitness’.

This is very different from fighting in a boxing match against an opponent. In boxing for fitness classes you can partner someone holding pads or punch against a punch bag. The emphasis is to get fit in a fun, safe, non-contact environment whilst still providing the benefits of boxing. It challenges the mind and body, with many benefits: 1. Aids Weight Loss High intensity boxing training is shown to decrease body fat as well as boosting whole body strength. People think punching power comes from the shoulders, but it actually involves the whole body. A good punch utilises the lower limbs and coordination of the body to deliver the power through the strike, as well as the core muscles.

2. Improves Balance and Hand-eye Coordination Boxing is a movement intense activity, involving footwork and pad combinations, helping to work on balance and coordination which can often be affected as we age.

Boxing classes improve hand-eye coordination, as punching combinations can build muscle memory.

3. Decreases Stress There is no better way to release stress than to punch pads or

a punching bag. Research has observed massive mood improvements amongst people who practice this type of training.

4. Improve Cardiovascular Health Taking care of your heart by doing regular cardiovascular exercise is essential to keep it healthy and protect from heart disease and common illnesses. Boxing gets your heart pumping and lungs working harder, which results in beneficial changes within the body.

5. Mental Benefits Working out releases endorphins, the happy hormone, which lifts your mood and fights off lack of energy. Endorphins are so powerful that regular exercise can actually be used to treat mild depression and seasonal disorders. Boxing is great for clearing your head; the repetitive motion of punching can help you switch off and focus, centring the mind and letting stresses fade away.

6. Socialising When you attend a class you’re surrounded by like-minded people. You can have a laugh and, even if you didn’t feel motivated when you walked in the door, your mood will be lifted once you’ve started the first round.

Boxing creates healthy fitness routines that last. If you’d like more information about the boxing classes we run in Ripley with a great inclusive community of people, please get in touch.

Derbyshire Walking: Monsal Trail & Ashford-in-the-Water from Lees Bottom

Distance: 8.8 miles / 14.2 km Ascent: 1000 feet / 303 metres Time: 5 hours 20 minutes Grade: Moderate Author: Lou Johnson Photographer: John Sparshatt Map: Ordnance Survey Explorer OL24 Start: Pay and display car park at Lees Bottom (grid ref. SK170706) For the most part this Peak District walk follows well used paths and trails. Do remember that there is a lengthy ascent towards the end of the route through Great Shacklow Wood. The start is the pay and display car park at Lees Bottom (grid ref. SK170706) where there are also public toilets. Refreshments can be obtained at Monsal Head and in the village of Ashfordin-the-Water.

The Route 1. Exit the car park onto the A6 main road. Cross over to the signed path, descend the awkward stile and follow into the woodland. Where the path splits, keep right and continue down to the River Wye. 2. Follow this pleasant path upstream through Monsal Dale. Just before the old railway viaduct turn left and climb up to the old railway track. Turn right and cross the viaduct. Then take the path on the left that climbs up to Monsal Head with its wonderful views across the dale and railway viaduct.

3. From the road junction at Monsal Head take the lane towards Little Longstone. Take the first footpath on your right opposite the chapel (grid ref.

SK187716). Continue along this path to turn left onto the Monsal Trail. There follows a section of easy walking going past Thornbridge Hall on your right to cross the A6020.

4. About three metres further on, descend to the walled lane and walk south (grid ref. SK213707).

Continue on this bridleway across Cracknowl to reach the River Wye.

5. Cross the river and walk up to the A6. Turn right along the A6 passing Lumford Mill on your right. At grid ref. SK209690 take the footpath on your right. This path loops along beside the River Wye before returning to the A6.

6. Turn right along the A6, cross the old bridge over the River Wye and walk into the centre of Ashford-in-the-Water. Turn left down Greaves Lane, left again into Church Street, continuing to cross the bridge on your right over the River Wye to the A6. Turn right along the A6, taking the lane on your left (signed to Sheldon).

7. Where the road bends to the left, go straight ahead onto the signed footpath at grid ref.

SK189694. This path leads alongside the River Wye. Ignore paths off to your left and continue straight ahead.

8. You will enter Great Shacklow Wood. Initially the path stays by the river but eventually climbs steadily through the wood. Reaching a steep open field at the end of the wood, turn right and descend back to the start.

Dear Sir / Madam, Re: Would you like to sell your house this month?

Hi, my name is Amanda. I am a local property investor. I am buying properties in your area as I am regularly asked by tenants for properties in this area.

The differences between selling your house to me and using an estate agent:

• There are no “viewings” - with lots of people visiting your home, bringing with them the possibility of infection.

• I specialise in buying properties very quickly, between 7 and 28 days is my normal purchase period • I can buy with cash so that you don’t get messed around by mortgage lenders slowing things down • I pay all your estate agent and solicitor fees - the price I pay is actually what you get • There is no board outside or advert in the paper, just a fast, smooth, relaxed confidential sale • To hear how real local people have found our service visit www.ethicalpropertypartners.com

Call me for a guaranteed offer on your property. If you accept my offer before the end of the month then I will either give you £250 cash in advance or pay your mortgage for you until we complete the purchase of your property! This could get the mortgage company off your back immediately!

I hope that you don’t mind my direct approach but I thought that I’d write to ask you if you would like to sell your house quickly? If you are keen to sell within a month with no hassle from agents charging you fees, viewings that waste your time and buyers offering and then backing out, then I can definitely help.

I offer a guaranteed purchase of any property which means that all you have to do is give me a call and I’ll give you a price that I guarantee to buy your property at. If you decide to sell to me you could have the money in your account within a month.

If you want to sell quickly then give me a call today 01332 289572 I’ll look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,

Amanda Amanda Doyle, Ethical, Local Property Investor

Quote the code below when you call and I will pay you £250 cash in advance if you decide to sell ATL250

P.S. Call me on 01332 289572 TODAY and have the money for your property in your bank account in only 28 days!

P.P.S. Don’t delay...take advantage of my special offer... accept my offer before the end of the month and I can start paying your mortgage for you IMMEDIATELY! Don’t miss out, CALL NOW on 01332 289572 RIGHT NOW!

Homes & Gardens

Gardening Changing Garden Trends The average garden has changed significantly over the last 50 years. In a physical sense, it has become smaller but, in more general terms, expectations have grown. In a small garden every square metre matters. Today’s contemporary garden might have an outside kitchen and possibly a retractable roof to serve as a sunshade or umbrella, while a moving water feature provides a soundscape to accompany the outdoor dining experience.

Alongside the shrinking space, our need for privacy has expanded. The addition of pleached trees – often called a ‘hedge on stilts’ – has become commonplace.

They allow taller boundaries that blur the fence line, thus bringing seclusion without harsh enclosure.

Look at the plants Gardens follow fashion and plant selection tells you a huge amount about the history and evolution of a garden. Before the 1980s, a garden border would be filled with perennial planting that might include asters, campanula, delphiniums, hardy geraniums, helianthus, geums, lupins, peonies, pulmonaria, salvias and veronica. These provided spring and summer colour but would die down for winter. Newer or updated borders might incorporate a number of shrubs to give year-round shape. There could be some structural forms in terms of sculpture or topiary. There might be evergreen giant cones and maybe some roses, rather than an entire bed dedicated to perennials.

The palette of plants available to us has extended dramatically over the decades. Ornamental grasses and ‘new perennial’ planting, including naturalistic swathes of perennials in subdued colours, are now likely to replace some of the more traditional herbaceous plants. This style of planting has ecology at its heart and the layers of plants tend to be interwoven to form patterns that might be found in the natural world.

A contemporary border will place even more emphasis on forms, shapes and colours that last for longer. Some borders now feature a restricted palette of plant varieties, perhaps chosen for the foliage colour or shape. For example, an entire bed filled with ‘strappy’ shaped leaves in plain green, a shady bed filled with just one variety of fern, or foliage that contrasts such as burgundy and yellow. The gardener will be ruthless when interlopers try to seed themselves amongst such a carefully designed setting.

Making a comeback Island beds filled with small conifers and perhaps a few rocks were a feature of the 1970s. Over the years we have tended to shun the idea of including these within a planting scheme, perhaps because some of the dwarf conifers grow larger than anticipated. They are beginning to make a comeback, however as we learn to embrace their charm. The RHS Chelsea Flower Show tends to set the trend and over the last few years these old favourite plants have been featured and applauded, along with hydrangeas, rhododendrons, dahlias and chrysanthemums.

Children & Education

The Diary of a Local Mum Simple Pleasures

Recently, I was offered some tadpoles from a friend who had an excess of frogspawn in their pond. I jumped at the chance!

I used to love watching little tadders develop and grow into teeny tiny frogs when I was a little kid. It amazed me – and still does – that these little black wiggly things can turn into something entirely different in such a short space of time, and seeing this transition occur is fascinating.

I must have temporarily forgotten that my kids are no longer toddlers, but teens … because when I introduced my exciting ‘surprise’ the reception was, well, underwhelming. It barely warranted a glance up from their phones, to be honest. Now, I don’t know a huge amount about TikTok but I doubt it can compete with the excitement of TADPOLES! Surely not?!?

Apparently so.

Anyway, I didn’t let their lack of enthusiasm dampen my spirits so I set up my new pets in a little bucket home. Suffice to say, the teens’ initial frosty reception began to thaw. Their interest was piqued. I caught them once or twice glancing in the tadders’ direction and, very soon, they were hanging their noses over the bucket with actual, undeniable curiosity.

The next day, their grandparents called round. One of the first things the kids said to them…? ‘We’ve got tadpoles! Do you want to see?’ Ha. Not too cool, after all.

I’ve refreshingly reached that age where I like what I like and I don’t care at all. Yep, I’ll happily spend time watching tadpoles and I’m not bothered who knows it or what they think. There are so many simple pleasures to be had in life but somehow, between the baby/toddler years (when they’re awestruck by absolutely everything) and adulthood, there comes a time when taking an interest and gleaning enjoyment from simple things can be a bit of a slow burner. There are external pressures and fear of judgement about what you do, what you like, how you look, what you say … and those things all shape the way kids feel.

This can dampen their initial reaction and cause reluctance and reticence, especially in response to

68 68

things that their parents suggest may be interesting because, as they begin to forge their own path, they become immediately doubtful about anything we oldies call ‘fun’!

As parents, we become used to our kids giving us the side-eye, watching with suspicion, disapproval or veiled curiosity as we find our own enjoyment from simple things. We, in turn, smile inwardly with amusement knowing that, given time they’ll probably give it a go and enjoy it too – whether that’s in hours, days or years. I remember, as a teen, rolling my eyes at my mum’s bird watching hobby but now, decades later … pass me the binoculars! I’ve even got an app for identifying bird song when I’m out and about! My mum, of course, finds this hilarious and I’m not too big to admit that maybe, as a disinterested teen, I was wrong.

We all go through this cycle – interested, disinterested, interested again – it seems to be a rite of passage as we develop our own personalities, so don’t take offence when your kids shun your favourite TV show, scoff at your hobby, or seem totally unimpressed by your fascinating facts. These things are sinking in whether they like it or not, and one day they’ll probably do exactly the same to their own kids, to be met by the same reception, as they give a knowing smile…

Local History

Belper People of the Past: Reverend Thomas Jackson of the Whitechapel Mission “Earn all you can, save all you can and give all you can.” John Wesley What a prank! Some Belper youths looked in through the window of the Primitive Methodist Chapel and saw a group praying for rain. They climbed on the roof and tipped buckets of water down the chimney so it landed on their heads. The police were called, but the young men escaped. One of them was Thomas Jackson who fled to Sheffield, became a Sunday School teacher and later went to London where he devoted his energies to supporting the poor, which led to setting up the Whitechapel Mission.

Born in a small cottage at Windy Gap in 1850, Thomas was a nailer before his undignified departure from Belper. He was the cousin of my Belper great-grandmother Hannah Jackson who kept in touch with him throughout his life. Thomas married a Sheffield girl called Annistacia Ramsden and the couple had five children, four of whom survived to adulthood.

Once in London they settled in Walthamstow where he took over a disused independent chapel. Shocked by the poverty in the East End of London, he set up a Sunday School, Temperance Society and then opened three more chapels where he could offer help to the poor. Later he set up similar services in Clapham and then concentrated his efforts on Whitechapel, where attempts had been ongoing for some years to set up the Mission on a sound basis.

In 1897 he raised funds to give the Whitechapel Mission a place from which to operate. There he set up a night shelter and gave support to hundreds of destitute young men. He also started a medical mission, charging people one penny for advice and another penny for medicine, treating thousands of people in the days before the NHS. Known locally as the “Bishop of Whitechapel”, towards the end of his life he was honoured by George V at Buckingham Palace.

Thomas Jackson with soldiers returning from the 1st World War in 1919 with nowhere to sleep. He offered them accommodation at the Whitechapel Mission.

My uncle showed me a letter which Thomas sent to his cousin Hannah in 1931. He tells her that, in spite of poor health, he would like to visit Belper to preach at the Chapel anniversary, which he did in June of that year.

I can imagine the amusement (or perhaps annoyance) of the Chapel elders, remembering the events of years Thomas Jackson with soldiers returning from the 1st before!

World War in 1919 with nowhere to sleep. He offered

them accommodation theChapel Whitechapel When he died in 1932atthe held a Mission. memorial service in his honour. In the 1950s the Methodist Minister Rev. Connolly wrote a play about Jackson’s life which was performed at the Chapel. Sadly their place of worship was demolished in 1966.

In the nineteenth century Primitive Methodism attracted the poor and socially excluded by holding open air services and camps. Jackson was a popular open-air preacher and in London he was known for holding impromptu services, singing and preaching in East End drinking houses usually considered too dangerous to enter.

The Mission is still very active today and its work is much the same as it was in Jackson’s time – providing accommodation for the homeless, setting up food banks and opening soup-kitchens, perhaps a reflection on how little progress has been made in the last hundred years.

Friendship Blooms Show your appreciation for a fellow member of the community; it may be a friend, a family member or maybe someone you’ve come into contact with who provides a wonderful service or who works hard to make a difference. Let All Things Local surprise them with a fresh bouquet of flowers.

Rachael Collins from Fleur Florist

All Things Local has joined forces with Rachael Collins (pictured) from Fleur Florist of King Street, Belper to offer readers the chance to show their appreciation for a fellow member of the community.

The recipient of this issue’s bouquet is Janet Horsley from Duffield. She was nominated by Maggie Shannon also from Duffield. Here’s what Maggie wrote: “I would like to nominate Janet Horsley to receive a bouquet. The background to this is because the ladies at The Weston Centre in Duffield have been busy knitting blankets for the Radio Derby appeal. We have made nearly 40 blankets and Janet, who broke her ankle in October, started knitting because she couldn’t get out for weeks.

Janet has knitted over 500 6 inch squares using donated wool and purchasing some too. When I stitched up the last 43 of Janet’s squares to take to Belper Library in February, it made me think that it would be nice to recognise Janet’s contribution. I hope you think so too. Thanks.” Maggie Shannon on behalf of members of The Weston Centre in Duffield.

Nominate someone to receive the next bouquet.

All you have to do is state, in no more than 100 words, who you are nominating. Include their address and the reasons why you are nominating them. You can nominate more than one person if they are living/ working at the same address… and remember, flowers don’t just have to be for women!

The only rule is that the person receiving the flowers must live or work in the distribution area of All Things Local Village Edition (listed on front cover). Just write your nomination on a piece of paper and send to Friendship Blooms, All Things Local, 74 Woodhouse Road, Kilburn, Belper, Derbyshire DE56 0NA or e-mail your nomination to karyn@allthingslocal.co.uk putting ‘Friendship Blooms’ as the subject. Please include your full name, address and daytime telephone number on your nomination.

The Weston Centre is a friendly place for the retired and over-60s to meet friends, socialise and join activities. Situated in the heart of Duffield, it is open from Tuesday to Friday from 10am till noon.

Members can enjoy a bottomless cup of coffee and biscuits for £1.

Further details can be found online at www.westoncentre.org.uk

Closing date for nominations for the next issue is Wednesday 21 June 2023.

All nominations are kept on file and you will be contacted if your nomination has been selected. Contact information is only used

Upbeat: Let’s Make It a No-nuisance Summer Together Now that summer is finally here, it is likely we will all hear a bit more from our neighbours – perhaps spending more time in the garden, at the local park or even just at home with the windows open.

Unless the weather has other ideas, children will be playing outside and hopefully we will all be enjoying everything the local area has to offer. Unfortunately, summer is also a time when noise or other behaviours can become a nuisance, which can really affect how you feel about being at home or in your neighbourhood.

There are things we can all do to help, such as thinking about how our behaviour might affect other people, as well as being tolerant of our neighbours. Often, people are not aware they are being a nuisance and a simple conversation might be enough for things to improve.

However, where there is repeated antisocial behaviour, the police, councils and housing providers are working together to help make our communities even safer by raising

awareness and providing help and support to people who are affected by it.

Organisations across Derbyshire are supporting National Antisocial Behaviour Awareness Week in July, when there will be events and information to help people understand what it is and how to report it.

It is also a good idea to talk to your children, especially as we approach the summer holidays. Please make sure they understand the importance of doing the right thing and reporting nuisance behaviour – especially if they know the names of those involved.

Keeping a diary is a good way to monitor and record persistent antisocial behaviour and can be used as evidence to support further action by the police and partner agencies.

The sort of things to keep a note of, no matter how insignificant they may seem, could include: • The exact time, date and location of the incident • What they were doing • How their actions affected you and /or others • Any other witnesses You can find out more about antisocial behaviour, including the different types and how to report it, on the Derbyshire Antisocial Behaviour Hub: www.safederbyshire.gov.uk/asbhub.

Bereavement Matters

of direct cremation, also known as an unattended funeral service, has become known as a Pure Cremation.

Some time ago I wrote about how the death of music icon David Bowie could change the funeral industry and, seven years on, that prediction seems to have come true.

This isn’t applicable, because Pure Cremation is a company’s name, rather than a generic description, and it describes a specific type of direct cremation, in the same way that we also offer a specific direct cremation service, which includes using a crematorium that’s local to the family.

This is because, at the time, the Star Man created a stir by opting against the kind of send-off we’d expect from a titan of British music, preferring a direct cremation instead, with no get-together at a local church and no pictures of his coffin being borne by his pall-bearers.

For many people it was the first time they’d heard of such a thing – a funeral without a service. But they had long been an option offered by funeral directors and it wasn’t long before more families started looking into them for their loved ones too.

Now, where the percentage used to be in the low single digits, I would estimate that 10% of our funerals are direct cremations.

The figure for the national average is around 12%, but we are now starting to see some confusion arise thanks to the power of advertising, through which the concept

Buying a funeral for a loved one is an emotional decision, no matter how you say goodbye. People want them to be looked after and to know what’s happening to them and they want choice – which is why they should be aware of what they’re signing up to.

Understanding that an unattended funeral can be just the way they want it helps to ensure that their wishes for their loved one can be properly carried out – which makes a huge difference when people are experiencing grief and starting their bereavement journey.
