PROMOTION

Exciting EXPANSION

avid Inman Opticians has recently grown, welcoming patients from Boyden-Hare Opticians in Fulwood and Bents Green. This expansion

our cutting-edge technology and worldclass eye care.

D

A Commitment to Excellence

James Allen, Optometrist and Director, explains: “We wanted to ensure all BoydenHare patients had the opportunity to experience the highest standard of eye care at David Inman Opticians. Our advanced technology allows us to detect eye diseases earlier and provide the most accurate prescriptions for glasses.”

Following the retirement of Andrew Boyden-Hare, James and his business partner, Chris Rzepinski (Dispensing Optician, Ecclesall Road), acquired the Fulwood and Bents Green practices. Over the past year, many patients naturally transitioned to David Inman Opticians in Broomhill and Ecclesall and were impressed by the exceptional level of care. To provide continuity and the best possible service, a

full merger was the logical next step.

All patient records from Boyden-Hare Opticians have been safely and securely transferred to David Inman Opticians so patients will be recalled to one of the David Inman sites when due their recall.

State-of-the-Art Technology – A First for South Yorkshire

To enhance patient experience, both David Inman practices have expanded their clinic availability and invested in even more cutting-edge equipment. From early April, all eye examinations will include a DNEye® 3 scan—a revolutionary biometric eye scan that creates a precise model of the eye.

James adds: “We will be the only opticians in South Yorkshire offering the DNEye® 3 scan. This technology allows us to tailor lenses using B.I.G. Exact™

by Rodenstock, which accounts for each person’s unique eye measurements. The result? Unparalleled clarity and comfort in every pair of glasses.”

Patients will soon have the chance to see this technology in action in-store, with further details shared on our social media channels.

To celebrate the launch of the DNEye® 3 scanner we will be giving away a free pair of B.I.G. Exact™ by Rodenstock lenses up to the value of £500 with a free frame up to the value of £200 included. All you need

to one of the David Inman Opticians stores before 9 May. The winner will be chosen at random and announced on social media.

For more information, call 0114 266 2292 (Broomhill) or 0114 266 3377 (Ecclesall).

Stay updated by following us on Facebook, Instagram, and X.

FREE PRIZE DRAW

Rodenstock Bigexact lenses with a choice of frame. Combined value up to £700. Return to David Inman Opticians Broomhill or Ecclesall Road by 9 May 2025.

Keen to preserve the organic nature of

the Medieval Park, the only way visitors can experience it is through a series of dedicated events, which range from wildlife walks to creative workshops.

Charged with running this calendar of visitor experiences is events manager, Suzanne Howard, who is a Derbyshire native and wildlife photographer (you may know her as ‘Peaklass’).

PROMOTION

Choosing the JEWELLERY for you PA Jewellery provides expert advice to finding the perfect white metal

ver the years, our advice on how to choose a white precious metal has altered as prices have fluctuated, and with gold at an alltime high, platinum lower, and palladium back in the picture, it is time to refresh our information again!

Initially, let’s take a look at the price of a popular gents’ wedding band style across various white metals. (Prices compared 28/03/2024)

O

9ct white gold: £700 18ct white gold: £1730 Palladium 500: £500 Palladium 950: £710 Platinum 950: £1200 Immediately striking is the expense of 18ct white gold in comparison to platinum!

So, let’s start with white gold; an alloy formed by adding other metals to gold. Since gold begins life as a yellow metal, materials with a whiter colour are added, creating a cream to pale yellow hue, that is rhodium plated to achieve the popular bright white finish.

The metals used in the alloy vary, but in 9ct a high percentage of silver tends to be added, while in 18ct much of the alloyed material may be palladium.

32 www.sheffieldvibe.com

Although it contains less gold, 9ct tends to be more yellow, because silver is less successful at bleaching the colour. This may mean that 9ct white gold rings require replating more regularly.

Silver is also a soft metal, making 9ct white gold soft too.

In contrast, 18ct white gold is often whiter, especially in alloys with a high palladium content, which also creates a hardier material, better suited to regular wear.

Palladium was initially promoted as a more affordable alternative to platinum that was naturally white, and harder wearing than white gold. When we updated our advice in early 2020, palladium had increased in price hugely but over the past year it has dropped significantly.

Originally, a 95% (950) palladium alloy was used as standard, although a 50% (500) alloy is available too, which is a little darker in colour but otherwise broadly similar.

Platinum was historically regarded as the

preferred but more expensive white metal option. With continued increases in the price of gold however, it is now more affordable than 18ct white gold. It is naturally white, hard wearing, dense, strong and ductile, making it ideal for producing delicate designs and strong settings.

Those who prefer white metals have a vast array of options to choose from, which can be confusing, although it also allows your jewellery to be tailored to your preferences! If you would like to learn more about your white metal options, view worn samples to better understand the variation in appearances, or try on a range of styles, you can visit our showroom where our jewellers will be delighted to help you.

A legacy of VISION

Sarah Jane Palmer’s latest exhibition in Doncaster has opened up her work to a whole new audience - and with good reason.

rt, however subjective, should be accessible to all and multidisciplinary visual artist, Sarah Jane Palmer, has created a recent portfolio of work that has extra emphasis on being able to be enjoyed by those with visual impairments.

Whether blind or partially sighted, all can experience the 12 works that make up ‘Periphery’ through touch or sound.

This latest exhibition, which runs at Doncaster’s The Point until 16 May, was inspired by family tragedy; Sarah’s father lost his vision in 2017 due to a brain tumour and afterwards described intricated iridescent lace-like patterns in his peripheral vision, a phenomenon known as Charles Bonnet Syndrome.

“It was something I’d never heard of and so it opened up a whole project of research for me,” explained Sarah. “It was a really scary time and [my dad] would describe these patterns that were a bit like net curtains, which pricked my ears up because we’ve got family heritage to lace design.

I just thought I’m going to start trying to paint and draw what he’s describing.”

Sarah applied for funding from the Arts Council and worked with the ophthalmological department at the /.-,+*)-('&%$&#"+$!+ & )& + & )&("+& & %' & (-%. & .)(-( (+&$%*&("+& -. & . &# # & #"+$!+ & %' &#% -+('&$%*&("+& -. &(%& +,+ % & +*- "+*' & “I just kind of set off on a mission to raise awareness of different visual needs, impairments and decided I would make it intrinsic into the new work I was creating that there was a tactile element so anybody who is blind or partially sighted could access the work through sound or touch,” Sarah added.

The whole project took two years to complete. Sarah worked with a local company called Cut-Tec in Barnsley, who did all the laser engraving of the work so the patterns of the paintings and drawings are all touchable for people who are visually impaired. She also worked with a sound artist from Leeds and there’s an audio description to the whole show.

“On the opening night, four people from ("+&# # & +& . &("+'& %(&(%&+ +*-+. +& the work and touch through all the pieces,” said Sarah. “Their response and reaction to that was brilliant. They said it was a brilliant experience that they’d not had before, a lovely journey. They were very appreciative.”

The experience of creating this body of work has changed how Sarah works and she’s already starting to think what comes next. Seeing how visually impaired visitors have reacted to the experience of being able

Her path to education came from unhappy experiences at school and a desire to use creativity as a tool to succeed.

Balti Saag Paneer

Chicken Tikka Masala

GREAT expectations

Did Butler’s Balti House live up to the hype for Rosie Brennan? erving aromantic Northern Indian dishes in a stylish, contemporary #"! # ! ! favourite, sits on Broad Lane in the city centre. With rave reviews and several wordof-mouth recommendations, I had high " # # # # ! restaurant, particularly a favourite like this, is the welcome. Within two minutes of arriving, we were met with friendly faces, attentive staff and a relaxed atmosphere, seated to our table in a mere matter of moments. The wonderful hospitality was accompanied by the simple yet elegant interior, classic warming fairylights and blue undertones on the ceiling in what feels like exactly what you’d want from a good old-fashioned ‘proper’ curry house.

To my happy surprise, these poppadoms were brought to us with not one, not two, but seven different dips to enjoy. Classics like mint and chilli (£1) and mango chutney (£1) were available, as well as a few others, including a bright red dip that strayed into the spicier side of things. Trying little scoops

of each, Butler’s brought a fun, unexpected and experimental start to the meal.

From there we went straight into choosing a main. A lover of all classic dishes, I chose a chicken tikka masala (£12) a Butler’s speciality. The friend and plus one, who had experienced Butler’s a few times before, went for what was now her ‘usual’, Balti butter chicken (£13).

For sides, we split a Balti Saag Paneer (£6.50), also available as a main for £11, as well as a serving of chips (£3) and garlic naan bread (£3.50). It’s safe to say, we did not leave with an empty stomach.

Presentation was simple, and authentic.

You could tell right away just how rich and creamy the dish was just by looking at it, the cream spirals of sauce giving an elevated take on a classic dish. The chicken was cooked well, perfectly complemented by the garlic, tomato and ground spices. My friend and loyal Butler’s visitor claimed to remember precisely why her ‘usual’ was in fact her ‘usual’ within two fork-fulls of the butter chicken, served in a velvety, smooth sauce.

The real dark horse that ended up star of the show, was the Balti Saag Paneer. Served with spinach, you wouldn’t think this dish would exactly be packed with delicious ! !# be wrong. Some spicy, some more herbal, the small side dish proved to host an eclectic ! # !

EATING OUT

Sundays are BACK!

Lunch is served at the Peacock at Rowsley, writes Richard Abbey. t doesn’t seem too long ago that we were inviting the team from the Peacock at Rowsley on stage at our Restaurant Awards to crown them ‘Restaurant of the Year’ (and Best Contemporary). That was in late October last year but a lot has happened to the luxury Peak District venue since that momentous occasion.

Most notable is a change of ownership.

After 22 years, Lord Edward Manners has passed the baton to Longbow Venues, who have added the Peacock to their growing portfolio of properties which includes The Maynard in Grindleford and The George in Hathersage.

There may have been a change at the top but all existing staff have remained, including head chef Dan Smith who continues to oversee the kitchen, which has four Silver AA stars and three AA rosettes. ,+*)('&%$)+#""!' # +* '& ( '&*' ' January, Longbow Venues has instigated a short refurbishment which has freshened up the dining rooms and lounge area but the Peacock very much retains that same feel that it has held for so long.

Unlocking financial freedom:

the value of an independent financial advisor In today’s fast paced world, making sound financial decisions can feel overwhelming.

With market fluctuations, evolving tax regulations, and an everexpanding array of investment options, knowing where to turn to for financial help is crucial.

This is where an independent financial advisor (IFA) can be a game changer for your well-being.

Now that we have moved into the new tax year, it is time to ensure that you are utilising the tax-free allowances and reliefs at your disposal.

Our team of highly experienced independent financial advisors can help you take stock of your current position, and ensure your arrangements are structured in the most tax efficient way for your own unique situation.

Our clients tell us that they value the peace of mind that they get from our ongoing review and support service. Life can change in an instant, and your finances need to change as your circumstances change too.

Having a trusted independent advisor by your side, and knowing your affairs are in good order, really can give you peace of mind. It can also ensure that you are only paying for what you really need.

Too often, we come across people who have held poor performing, expensive investments for many years. The institutions that hold their money have delivered poor returns whilst charging high fees.

You have worked hard to accumulate your wealth. Make sure you make the most of it. For yourself, and future generations.

If you would like to explore how we could help you, give us a call and we can arrange a free, no obligation discovery meeting.

Spring p g is a i g d time good ffor pproperty p y The new season can put a spring in the step of house movers, says Caroline Murrayy,, head of Graysons’ conveyancing team. pring is here and Easter is almost upon us.

Traditionally, the spring months are the best time to put your house up for sale. The market is usually more active, and the long Easter weekend attracts more potential buyers.

In fact, according to Rightmove, 45 per cent more homes were added to its listings on 28 March 2024 – just before the Easter weekend – than the previous Thursday.

Spring offfers many advantages when it comes to sellingg your y home and attractingg buyers: • The weather – it’s getting milder, and more people are prepared to venture out and go house hunting.

• Houses look their best when gardens are springing into life.

• The clocks go forward: longer days mean more time for house hunting and viewing.

• There are more buyers in the market.

• Families often have their eye on getting into a new home in time for the new school year after the summer holidays.

Caroline Murray, head of Graysons’ conveyancing team, says: “W We are very busy at present and are seeing an increase in new sellers and buyers. Sellers are certainly being smart with their prices and slower rises appear to be keeping the market lively. Buyers also appear optimistic that interest rates are on the way down,

year in February and two or three more

S

expected. We We are always busier around a the Easter period, and expectations are a that it won’t be any difffferent this year.”

The sales market appears to haave made a stronger start than in 2024, with Rightmove R saying that January saw 13 per ceent more properties coming to the market than t in the same month in 2024. Buyer demand d was 8 per cent higher and 15 per cent more sales were agreed than in January y 2024.

Rightmove doesn’t expect any major m drop offf despite the increase in stamp duty.

Zoopla p also says y that January y bbuyer demand was 13 per cent higher th han in January 2024. Ten per cent more homes were for sale and 12 per cent morre sales agreed.

Property prices are still increassing modestly, with predictions of 2-4 4 per cent for the year.

Various organisations measure house prices, and their methods and resu ults vary.

this year are: • Rightmove saw an increase oof 1.7 per cent in January – the biggest increase in prices at the start of the year since s 2020, slowing to 0.5 per cent in Feb bruary.

• Halifax saw a monthly increaase of 0.7 per cent in January •Zoopla shows no increase in aaverage house prices in January 2025 oover December 2024, but an annuaal increase of 1.9 per cent.

Equally, those organisations that produce average house prices vary in meth hodology

and results. Several organisations keep track of house prices. Only some have

include: • Rightmove says the average house price in the UK in February 2025 is £367,994 and the average in Yo Yorkshire and Humberside at £251,583.

• Zoopla shows the average house price in February 2025 as £267,500.

• Halifax shows a record high average house price of £299,138.

• The UK House Price Index is provided by the Land Registry. It is published quarterly. The average price as at January 2025 and published on 26 March 2025 is £269,000.

A funeral is not a day in a lifetime... it is a lifetime in a day We are an independent, family run, professional funeral directors, serving Sheffield and the surrounding regions.

Let us gently guide you, help you and advise you through every step of the way to give your loved one the funeral service that they deserve. Jamie F. Knight is a fully qualified funeral director and has been a recognised figure in the Sheffield funeral industry for more than 25 years. We treat every family that we help, with the same sort of care, attention and empathy that we would hope to be treated in their situation.

We feel that by personalising a funeral service to reflect the life of an individual, it gives family and friends a chance to say their final goodbye in this best way possible and fully believe that this can help them in the early stages of the grieving process.

Let us gently guide you, help you and advise you every step of the way to give your loved one the funeral service that they deserve.
