Intro Hi and welcome to our summer edition.

Life gets more and more complicated, we get busier and busier, working harder and harder to stand still, yet we're told we need to grow and have more.

Why can't we be happy with our lot? Enjoy the simple things, that's my plan. A walk in the rain, riding my bike, camping in a field, cooking a meal, and eating it around the table with the family, leaving the car behind! Things that aren't difficult but often we're too busy to achieve.

Simple things.

So, what have we in this edition?

A huge thanks goes to Joe Mattison who has spent his work experience week with S40 Local. It must be a bit daunting stepping into a work environment from school, it's great to get a new perspective but I hope he found his time at West Studios beneficial.

As a student of politics, Joe has contributed a piece about getting involved in shaping the future. Thanks Joe. We talk to Suzanne the inspiration behind the cover (thanks to Helen Rowan for the great pics) and we meet a Sheffield based online business, Banana Industries, who are doing their best to do things differently. We share our camping trip, feature some readers pictures that have been sent in and have tips for using our phone cameras a little more creatively! It's almost as if we planned it!

We're taking a short break from the magazine for a couple of weeks to enjoy the summer and do some simple stuff!

Take care and we'll be back in mid-September.

Dyeing to meet you!

We meet local yarn dyer Suzanne of Greenlambkin Yarn Words: Paul Chapman Artist: Suzanne Kirkland-Wells Images: Helen Rowan Photography

T

his month’s cover image comes courtesy of Suzanne Kirkland-Wells from Greenlambkin Yarn. Suzanne is a life-long knitter and fibre artist and for the last few years has been establishing an online business selling hand-dyed yarns for knitting and crochet.

“My Grandma and mum taught me to knit when I was really young,” explains Suzanne. “I’ve crocheted since my early twenties and it was around this time that I discovered independent yarn dyers.”

Suzanne studied fashion and textiles at Chesterfield College and had always wanted to have a go at dyeing her own yarns. “I sourced some yarn and locally produced dyes (Colourcraft in Sheffield) and fell in love with dyeing. 2017 saw me produce my first dyed skein for sale through my Etsy shop (Greenlambkinyarn)”.

“My hand-dyed yarn is sold in skeins rather than balls - it’s more traditional and is better for the yarn as it is placed under less tension,” explains Suzanne.

Her first sale felt amazing, but she was nervous at the same time, with a little bit of ‘Imposter Syndrome’ kicking in – would her customers really like what she was creating? She didn’t need to be worried though, the feedback on Etsy and Instagram, as well as responses to her YouTube channel, were really positive. “There is such a strong community around knitting, I make good use of video blogs and have customers and supporters across the world, my overseas customer base is amazing, buyers in the USA love what I do.”

From humble beginnings, Suzanne has worked hard to create a business that now ships products around the world in impressive volumes. To help develop her business, Suzanne looks for innovative ways to engage with her customers, sock clubs for instance, where customers buy specially dyed 100g and 20g mini skeins to knit socks based on different themes, often from

Page 6

nature, folklore and traditional festivals. The resulting colourways are evocative of these themes, calling to mind forests, bonfires and the magic of nature.

“I also do an Advent Club,” adds Suzanne, “selling packs of mini skeins each month to give customers 24 skeins in time for the beginning of advent. People find this an enjoyable way to knit at Christmas and the cost is spread over the year so there is no large outlay at such a financially demanding time. I get some great feedback; people make lovely knitting vlogs as they open their packages live on YouTube.”

As well as her online business activity, Greenlambkin Yarns can often be found at local markets and events, recently at The Wool Monty show at Sheffield Arena and pop-up shops in the area. These events allow Suzanne to get direct feedback on her products which she finds really useful. Her confidence is clearly growing.

In addition to yarns, Suzanne also offers Greenlambkin knitting and crochet patterns, progress keepers and other products for the enthusiastic knitter or crocheter.

Suzanne walked me around her yarn dyeing workshop, which is currently situated in her utility room but can often spill out to the dining room table during busy periods. As her order book grows and the business develops, she plans to move her operation to a purpose-built garage workshop later this year, to cope with the extra demand. I had no idea how manual the process is, dyeing by hand in batches, hand painting the yarn with dyes, fixing them in a microwave, some bubbling in big vats on the hob and each giving a specific finished effect.

Suzanne specialises in dying sparkly and microstriped yarns which sets her apart from many other indy-dyers. Amazingly, from such a small space in her home, she has produced thousands of skeins to date and judging from the progress she has made, will be producing thousands more. Add to this a home life which includes looking after two children, a cat and six hens with her husband, Suzanne seems to have set up quite the perfect busy home life!

If you fancy some lovely unique, hand-dyed yarns be sure to check out Suzanne’s Etsy shop which contains a wide selection of yarns or find her at a local show or event soon. Failing that, you can always catch up with Suzanne via Instagram, YouTube and Facebook!

Business Intro

Don't worry be a Words: Paul Chapman

anana Industries is a small Sheffield based online retailer, who are passionate about ethical, sustainable products – mainly clothes that won’t break the bank.

Banana Industries sell clothing, mountain bike stuff, outdoor equipment, homewares and some other bits and bobs, in fact you never know what you might find in their online shop, which they refer to as ‘an underground market’. Everything they do focuses on quality, needs to be made to last and be sustainable, not an easy task in today’s throwaway society, but I believe these guys have it right and know what makes them tick.

Set up in 2012 by Tom Knight and Fabio De Giuseppe, and emerging from a discussion on the skate park at Dev Green about how they hated the way things are done, as Uni students they studied marketing and advertising and decided to create a brand that was unmarketable!

It took me a while to get my head around this but what I think Fabio explained is, brands are created to fit a niche, to get an audience to react and buy the products. Was it possible to create a brand that broke the mould, a brand that didn’t know its market, that was a surprise, thus Banana Industries was born! Have you ever thought about marketing a banana?

What they do today has evolved massively. Day one saw them designing and selling clothing to the clubs and societies at Uni, the snowboard club, that type of thing. “Major corporates try and soak up this work but what they do doesn’t inspire and is just churning stuff out to take the money (Ed: think ubiquitous school leavers hoodies),” says Fabio.

“What we did was create designs that were unique, chosen for their design, style and association, not just because they are the ‘uniform’ of the club. It quickly became apparent that people liked what we were doing.

“Our core product is the clothing and we’ve created some fab relationships with Sheffield based designers and illustrators,” says Fabio.

“From the very start we’ve ensured our products are as ethical and sustainable as they can be. Our packaging uses no plastic and is all recycleable, even the tape we use. This isn’t a cheap option but it’s important, it’s one of the core values that runs through everything we do”.

Banana Industries are supporting local artists and split the profits with the designers for the illustrations and artwork they use. It’s a way to get their designs out in the open and create a community that keeps coming back for more. The designs you see on their site (bananaindustries. co.uk) are unique and always have meaning.

Their products have a real quality feel about them, one of my lad’s favourite Banana Industries shirts is made from Rayon and he loves it, great quality, eye catching and unique. “Quality and affordability are at the top of our focus, they sit together with sustainability, they are all of equal importance to us,” says Tom. “We print everything in house, the clothing we use is organic, sustainable and ethical, we have our own quality control and can ensure everything is 100% at every stage of our process; from the order being placed to the packing and dispatching of the order. We outsource nothing.”

“Right now, we’re looking carefully at our product range, to see whether there are lines we could perhaps drop, to help us maintain a profit and stay true to our values. When we do festivals and hold stalls etc people love what we do, when they get their hands on the products, they can see the quality and how important the detail is, we just need to find a way to get this message across online!”

Look at their reviews; 600+ on Trustpilot giving 4.9 and Google, five stars from everyone, so they must be doing something right.

“We’ve been established almost ten years and we face a difficult time, it’s not easy in the present climate,” says Fabio. “There were five of us not long ago but now that’s down to four, costs are rising everywhere but we are absolutely committed to keeping our profits small, so our products are affordable, maintaining a high quality benchmark and ensuring we remain sustainable.

Interest whetted? Take a browse of the Banana Industries website, I’m sure you’ll find something to like, if not for you, perhaps for that mountain biking, skating, parkour loving, climbing, outdoor enthusiast, eco champion in your family!

May the banana be with you. www.bananaindustries.co.uk

Lime Living's New Home Words & Images: Paul Chapman

Lime Living Estate Agents have a new home, Unit 11, The Glass Yard, Sheffield Road, Chesterfield S41 8LF. I popped down to check out the new office and see why they've moved.

"We've been looking for a new location for a while now," says Jamie from Lime. "Our town centre location was starting to look a bit tired and as town centre use changes we felt a little isolated, the new space at the Glass Yard is fabulous, a new contemporary space we can put our stamp on and parking right outside the door, access is so much easier now. In fact we only moved in two weeks ago and we're already noticing more people calling in."

"We are very much a traditional business, after the pandemic we're happy to see people face to face," adds Katie. "We're here to hold your hand along what is one of the most difficult paths to navigate, whether you're buying your first home, selling, stepping onto the rental ladder as a landlord or finding your first rental home."

Lime Living are a small local independent business and if you need estate agency services they are always ready to help.

Give them a call and pop into the new office to check it out for yourself.

Opinion

Politics?

Ok, talk to me.

Words: Joe Mattison Image: Adobe

F

or many of you reading, politics may be a confusing, or even daunting subject to wrap your heads around. This, I completely understand; it’s often seen as an overly serious topic for overly serious people. However, this doesn’t have to be the case. You see, politics affects us all on a daily basis. Whether that be the potholes that irritate you when you’re driving to work, or a new housing development over the road which you can’t bear - politics will affect you in some way, shape or form. So, if it affects every one of us, shouldn't we try and get as many of us involved as possible?

We all know someone who loves to share their political views on social media; whether that is signing and sharing online petitions, ranting about current affairs, or simply following politicians who share their opinions, we all know at least one person who loves to make their views heard.

And while this is often seen as a negative way of behaving by many people, particularly older people who don’t ‘get’ social media the way us youngsters do, I see this as something that should be cherished, a huge stepping stone towards this country becoming more democratic, and representative of its people.

As a 17-year-old, I, alongside many other young people, don't yet have the privilege of being involved in politics in the ways many of you reading do, such as voting in referendums, local elections, and general elections. This means less traditional methods of getting our voices heard need to be used, like online petitions, and demonstrations good examples of this being the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020 and recent climate change strikes and demonstrations.

Whilst many of the older generation may argue 16 and 17-year-olds aren’t well enough informed about politics or mature enough to be given the opportunity to vote, I would argue otherwise. Even though many people of this age group may not be Page 18

well enough informed, I know as an A level politics student that this can very easily be changed. In my opinion, just one politics lesson every few weeks for secondary school students could give young people enough understanding to be able to vote independently. And I know that most students would hate the thought of having to learn about something as boring as politics, but as someone who had little to no interest before studying it this year, I’m sure this would change.

Even if you’re not interested in politics, you may have seen videos and images over the years of all the MPs and others who make up the government sitting on the famous benches of Parliament, and the House of Commons. What you might not notice is that - they all look the same; there’s a distinct lack of young people, and as a result I feel we’re often ignored by politicians. If we were given the chance to vote, we’d no longer be able to be ignored, and society would become more fair and equal.

The voting age is 18 in every other country, why should we do things differently here? And while I’d understand, things do actually work differently very close to home. The minimum age to vote in local elections and referendums is 16 in Wales and Scotland, thanks to them becoming devolved governments (which means they essentially have more powers than they used to). So if they’ve become more progressive, why should we not follow in becoming more democratic and making this country a more equal place to live?

So, whatever age you are, I hope you'll consider getting involved in whatever way fits you. It might even give you some say in changing those nagging daily grievances.

BOOKS @Bolsover Castle Words: Paul Chapman Images: English Heritage

E

nglish Heritage became a charity in 2015 and from that date government Grant-in-Aid has declined until 2022/23. This then ceases completely, and English Heritage will become selffunding.

If Bolsover is a little to far for you please get in touch with me, paul@s40local.co.uk or call 07764 801080 where you can drop any books into the studio at West Studios on Sheffield Road and I'll ensure they get to Nerys.

To assist with fund raising, Nerys Mansell from Brookside who volunteers at the castle has helped set up a second-hand bookshop at the castle.

"Now English Heritage has become a charity, it receives no funding from the government and the bookshop has already raised several thousand pounds for the site in less than two years," says Nerys.

The castle is open every day from 10am to 5pm and is free for English Heritage members. There is a large cafe with outdoor as well as indoor seating and an adjacent children’s play and picnic area.

Right now the team at the bookshop urgently needs stock for the shop, books in good condition and jigsaws (these must be complete). "We only ask £1 for paperbacks and £2-£3 for most hardbacks, so it is popular."

Over the summer the main events at the castle will be the Cavendish horse displays 6 to 7 August and 17 to 18 September and the fabulous ‘Legendary Joust’ over August bank holiday, 27 to 29. There are also free guided tours on certain days.

All details are to be found on the web site. english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/bolsovercastle/

If you have any books you’d like to donate you can drop them off with reception at the castle, call 01246 822844 for info.

Under Canvas Words & Images: Paul Chapman

C

ancelled flights at airports, fuel at record prices, hours sat in traffic, train tracks buckling in the heat, it’s enough to put you off a holiday or weekend away … but what about travelling just 15 minutes and sleeping under canvas?

Just before the thermometers hit 40 degrees, we and a group of friends hired the the bottom field at High Ashes Rural Project (we talked about them in our last edition).

I’ll admit, I like to camp... if there’s a decent loo and a shower then that's even better, and High Ashes didn’t disappoint. But, I’m not here to talk about the location, it’s the experience I want to capture.

There were 17 of us camping and in the past, we’ve headed to the Knockerdown Inn campsite at Carsington water but it’s closed for refurbishment.

We searched for a relaxed site, with ten teenagers and seven adults you need somewhere relaxed!

The High Ashes location was perfect, less than 15 minutes from door to field and nicely secluded.

I suppose I’m a bit sad and actually get a sense of enjoyment simply from pottering around gathering the equipment for our two nights away! Turned out it filled the back of the van… this weekend we did not travel light, comfort and a decent night’s sleep was top of the list of priorities!

As I had so much to sort and because I like to spend time in the sun! I took Friday off work and spent the day setting up the site; tent for me, my wife and son, smaller tent for my daughter and her friend, a shelter for cooking and somewhere to gather in the evening. Sorted. Plus we were treated to a fly past from the Royal Air Force, that Phil, High Ashes lead, swore he'd arranged for us, uhm thanks Phil.

I went home, showered, waited for school to finish, packed up the final bits and headed back up to the site.

Friday night consisted of a walk down to the Black Swan in Ashover where good food and good beer were to be found, pre-ordered to help them prepare. Our return walk back up the fairly steep hill allowed us to stop and take in the great views.

A quick drink under the shelter where we were treated to a huge blood moon rising just over the Page 26

trees at the bottom of the field before we collapsed for the night. Fantastic.

Early Saturday saw the stoves fired up and what felt like hundreds of sausages being fried, we needed to be up early as we had an appointment at 11am.

Carsington water hires out paddle boards and kayaks and we had a bunch booked for us all, time to cool down and mess about on the water.

A picnic after, a few throws of a frisbee and an American football, an ice cream and flat white (of course) and we headed back to the campsite.

Saturday night tea was picked up from Mr P's Woodfired Pizzas, their mobile unit parks up just a few hundred metres from the farm (see FB for locations and times). It was quite a sight seeing 19 pizzas wheel barrowed across the field, did I mention that the field is nicely tucked away which meant a good walk from the cars?

A few more drinks and games under the shelter and Saturday beat us as we collapsed into the tents for the second night's sleep.

Sunday was a simple affair, a relaxed breakfast (yes more sausages) and packing things up.

We were back at home by midday which meant we were able to get sorted, put the gear away and get the washing done, with some time to spare to prepare for the coming week.

48 hours, a whole bunch of activity crammed in, good food, great company, and a break from those jobs we end up doing at home. A fantastic weekend away and just a stone's throw from home, and one that didn't worry the credit card!

Carry on camping? Yes I think we will.

For info contact: Info@highashes.org.uk Pictures: Top left, setting up the small tent; Top right, Where's the pump?; Left upper, uhm perhaps I needed more suncreen on my legs! Left lower, did someone order Pizza?; Lower right, all set up, grounds looking a bit dry; Bottom, yes that's me mowing... it was a friends field so I offered to help with that!

Fieldtrips ...

Words: Aisling Rippin & Katie Trickett

W

hen we look back on school days, what will we especially remember? We may recall the odd lesson when something unusual happened to a student or the teacher approached the subject in an innovative way. It might well be that a theatre trip or sporting event will stay longer in the memory than when we had geography in Year 8 or what we dissected in biology in our final year. But the field trip, long a staple of the school year and now reinstated after pandemic curtailment, will bring a warm glow long after the socks are wrung out.

In June, Brookfield’s Year 12 geography students embarked on a field trip to widen understanding for our A level exams.

FB: Brookfield Community School Tweet: @BCSch www.brookfield.derbyshire.sch.uk

A day was spent in Sheffield City Centre supporting human geography case studies. We carried out a clone town survey, seeing how much Sheffield’s high street matches others in the UK by looking at the number of chain stores. The fieldwork was an opportunity to work together as a group of eight students but be more independent from our teachers. Visiting Kelham Island, we investigated the effects of gentrification, seeing how a place has changed over time to become upgraded and redeveloped. This was a great experience, giving us the time to carry out fieldwork essential to A levels, having been unable to do so at GCSE. Subsequently, we went on a residential to Whitby where we stayed at Boggle Hole in a Youth Hostel, right on the beach. Many of us collected data for our Non-Examination Assessment (NEA coursework), worth 20% of our A level grade.

Throughout our trip, we collected both human and physical geography data, the physical

consisting of beach profiles and measuring sediment sizes, as well as longshore drift. The human geographers collected land use surveys in Robin Hood’s Bay and Whitby, as well as pedestrian counts, environmental quality surveys, questionnaires and comparing prices of goods in different areas of the town. Interested in people’s perceptions, questionnaires were a great way to gain understanding and insight into how a place is given meaning through its different purposes - for example, the cultural influence of Dracula and tourism.

classroom, spending time collecting data to help our overall understanding of geography in order to aid us academically. Enjoying our evenings as a group was a great way to remind us that although A levels are really important, our academic achievements aren’t the only important aspect of school.

Once again, our time in Whitby allowed us to spend time as a class, as well as a group of friends, with us all walking along the beach in the evenings as well as playing board games. Year 12 has been quite a stressful time for many of us and, coming just before our mock exams, the trip was a great chance to enjoy our A levels outside of the

The Place We Live Words: Paul Chapman Images: See Text

O

ver the past few editions I've been receiving a few photographs taken in and around the area that, I think, show what a great place we live in.

I've included four of the images on these pages, and taken the liberty of naming them; 'A Thing For Mushrooms'' comes from Elsie, taken whilst on a walk around Eyam, I love the rich blue sky in this one, 'Spire Lawns' was captured by Steve Wilmot who spotted a familiar shape formed by the shadows in his garden, 'Linacre Sunrise' is from Richard Cutting and 'Owzzat' is from Ian Kinniburgh, showing what a fab place Queen's Park is to watch cricket.

Thanks for taking the time to think of us and send them in. If you think you have an image we'd like to see please send it in and I'll start saving up the next set.

Happy snapping.

Life Hacks

Camera Phones: Tips & Tricks Words: Simon Paterson & Michael South Images: Michael South & Simon Paterson

H

aving asked Michael for some tips and tricks when taking photos on my smart phone, I feel my photography has improved no end. Michael offered the following tips to help take better pictures on our phones.

An iPhone or Canon DSLR. Obviously there's a big difference between them, firstly you can't fit a Canon in your pocket or use it to call your mates to go to the pub. Neither can you take a cracking photograph on your phone from long distance fully zoomed in of, say, a wild animal, in full crystal clear quality. So, what can you use a camera phone for then?

Most of us have one, even my mum. Everyone has a reasonable camera lens on it and judging by social media it looks like most people use them to take selfies or pictures of their food! But, if you want to point your phone at something other than your beans on toast, what should you know?

Well here are my top tips: 1. It sounds obvious but clean your lens. It takes seconds but there's nothing worse than taking a photo of something and when you're back home looking at it and the photo is blurred with a dirty/greasy lens. We have all done it. So clean your phone's lens when you take it out of your pocket before you start.

2. A solid steady base. Hold the phone as still as can be. This is as true for smartphones as with any camera. Keeping it steady will give you much sharper, clearer photos.

Don't become a lazy shooter and rely on the phone's image stabliser that's built in, being stable is often the best thing you can do.

Don't rush, take your time.

3. Light. Once you've selected your subject matter, judge the light. Light is to photography what paint is to the painter, it's what makes the photo. Be it the sun or the light bulb above your head, light matters, so

Page 36

be aware of it (and its effects), as without it you wouldn't have a photograph. Before I take any photograph, be it at a wedding or the footy, I always assess the light first. With my Canon camera, I can adjust the shutter speed or the aperture to get the perfect amount of light required for the shot. But with the smartphone, it's all automatically done for you, but you can, on some phones, use the manual mode to change things and do it yourself, more on this later. Fundamentally, you need to assess where the shadows will fall, you want to avoid your subject's face, for example, being dark and fully in the shadows. Make sure your person/object is well lit.

4. Zoom lenses, digital v optical. If you're far away from your subject, get closer. Use your feet, not your camera's digital zoom.

Again don't be lazy. The closer you can be, the better the quality of image you will get. Up close a camera phone can be very good. To most people who don't use photography gear, they all assume what they see in the smooth adverts for the latest top notch smartphone is true, that the biggest megapixel camera is the best or the furthest zoom lens is king. Not true. Don't fall for all that digital zoom nonsense. Optical zoom is a zillion times better. Obviously smartphones can't have a 600mm lens on it so they use digital zoom… which isn't as good. And this is my biggest bug bear with camera phones.

If zooming in is what you want, use a DSLR camera.

5. Composition. This for me is where I believe photography is personal and is artistic.

What makes a great photo? There's many different ways to answer this... usually with wine and a good debate is best. But I don't have enough words here, so I'll be brief.

You can take candid shots; such as street photography. The camera phone is perfect for this as it's a small camera. You can play with reflections like puddles or windows. You

www.chesterfieldlocal.co.uk

can look for symmetry, such as faces. You can look for repetitive patterns like street lights or trees. You can use natural light; the bright midday sun or the sunrise or sunset.

6. Manual mode. Step it up to be a pro? Try and use the camera phone as a proper camera. Modern smartphones nowadays allow you to step up to control all or some functions found on a Canon camera. You can alter the shutter speed, aperture and ISO to tweak your photos. Set your camera app's exposure manually and have a play.

The only way to learn is to make mistakes!

But once you have taken your shots, edit them with the apps.

7. Photo editing apps. Once you've taken your snaps you have the advantage of having photography apps already at your fingertips by downloading them straight to your phone. I use Photoshop and Lightroom on my laptop for the important stuff which I'm paid to shoot but you can also use these and others to edit your pics, just search the app stores, there's plenty to choose from.

So there we have it, have fun with your phone's camera. And remember, the best camera in the world is the one in your hand, regardless of the price.

Garden Tips

GARDEN TIPS

Words: Transition Chesterfield Images: Robert Nixon Betts

• Second Early potato varieties will be ready to harvest now, depending upon when they were planted. They usually take about 16 weeks to produce a good crop.

They can be lifted as you want them, but if you notice slug holes in the crop it is better to lift them all before the damage worsens.

Store only the undamaged tubers and use the others quickly.

• Summer pruning of apple and pear trees can be done now. This helps them to keep their form and remain healthy without having congested growth.

• Most hedges can be pruned or trimmed into shape now, bird nesting should be over and this will give time for limited new growth before it slows down in autumn.

• Keep sowing quick-maturing salad crops – rocket, radishes, mixed leaves and some lettuces are all candidates – they’ll go on growing until the first frosts. Several lettuce varieties including Winter Density, Great Lakes and Lambs lettuce (corn salad) will last through the winter.

• If you’ve got empty patches of soil, consider sowing a green manure; this will cover the ground and put much needed nutrients back into the soil. This will stop weeds becoming established and is best dug in before it sets seed.

• Several herbs can be sown at this time of year in a greenhouse or cold frame e.g. chervil, dill, parsley and coriander can be protected from frost this way and will crop during the late season and winter.

• Pot up any strawberry runners that have rooted or encourage them to do so by pinning them firmly to the ground and make sure they are watered in a dry spell.

• Apart from gently pottering around the garden, this should be the time of year you can spend most time simply enjoying it; however, it's the time most plants, including weeds, also enjoy, so try to stop them setting seed – there's an old saying, 'one year’s seeding is seven year's weeding'...

• Keep feeding birds to attract them to the garden, where they will also hunt out damaging insects and larvae. A shallow pool is a great wildlife draw, with the possible added bonus of seeing blackbirds washing themselves in a comically Victorian fashion, constantly checking to make sure they're not being overlooked, and covered head-to-toe in black.

Canal Walking Festival

Why Not Join Us?

The fourth Chesterfield Canal Walking Festival will run from 10 to 18 September.

Chatsworth Road Medical Centre Patient Participation Group

There are 40 walks on offer varying from a couple of miles to the full 46 miles of the canal over three consecutive days.

The Coronavirus Pandemic made us all change our daily lifestyles and we have had to think of others much more. Now we are getting back to our normal lives, the Patient Participation Group at Chatsworth Road Medical Centre wants to resume our active support for the centre.

The Chesterfield Canal Trust, which organises the event, once again believes it to be the largest canal focussed walking festival in the country, with more walks and walkers than any other.

The walks must be booked in advance either online or by ringing 01246 477569. All are free except those that involve a boat trip.

The canal towpath is officially designated the Cuckoo Way and it runs from Chesterfield to the River Trent, through Derbyshire, South Yorkshire and North Nottinghamshire. There are walks taking place at various locations along its full length.

The Trust’s Cuckoo Way officer, David Blackburn said: “We look forward to seeing old friends again and hope to welcome many newcomers too. We believe that our 46 mile long canal has parts that are as attractive as any in the country. Do take the opportunity to join a walk in an area with which you are not familiar, and you will hopefully be pleasantly surprised.”

Our medical centre has had to change the way patients are seen and has taken on extra work but throughout these times all the staff have done their utmost to care for our patients.

The Patient Participation Group consists of volunteer patients who work with the doctors and staff to make sure that the practice delivers the best care it can.

We meet every one or two months (currently using digital communications) on Wednesday afternoons. At our meetings we learn about the latest issues for the practice, see what patients think of the services and look at ideas for improving these services. We run projects to define and implement improvements, and at the meetings we debate the progress of these projects and move them forward.

The monthly meetings start at 3:30pm and last about one and a half hours. If a member decides to join in with a project team this may take up to another few hours a month, so the time commitment is up to you and isn’t too high.

We will restart some projects that have been on hold due to the pandemic, such as researching ear health and looking at some common ear conditions, particularly those affecting older patients such as hearing loss and general ear conditions including impacted ear wax, tinnitus, Ménières disease, vertigo, perforated ear drum, swimmer’s ear. If you have ideas on projects which could help to improve the practice and inform patients then please come to a meeting and tell us about it.

The Group is always very pleased to welcome new members and if patients would like to find out about the work of the PPG, or to join us, they can come along to a meeting. The date of the next meeting is Wednesday 17 August at 3:30pm. The meeting will be held using Zoom.

For further info please ask at the Medical Centre reception desk, where they will put you in touch with the PPG Chair, or visit www.chatsworthroadmedicalcentre.nhs.uk

Preloved, unique & intriguing A pair of unique 100-year-old autograph books filled with memories and illustrations have been discovered in a donation bag at Ashgate Hospice's donation centre in Hasland.

The books, described as 'priceless’, contain autographs, poems, illustrations and memories marking life 100 years ago.

The hospice understands the owner of the books, who is thought to be called ‘Mr. Glyn’, would have asked people he met in life to contribute – whether it be in the form of a doodle, inspiring message or even a poem.

Each entry in the book is signed by a different person and dates range from 1919 to 1938.

Ashgate is keen to find out more about the items and is appealing for anyone with any information about them to come forward.

Ecommerce Assistant, Kevin Marshall, said: "We received these books in a random bag of donations and they really caught our eye!

“They are very charming, and we’ve never seen anything quite like them before. They have a very warm, sentimental feeling to them! They really put a smile on our faces.

“This is not a collection of famous pop stars or sports personalities; it's just a record of people that the books’ owner met along their way through life.

"He would ask people he came across to write something or draw a doodle in his books. They

have no great value but at the same time they are priceless and make for a fascinating read!”

A message in one of the books dated back to 1921, Mr Glyn says: Every friend I would invite, a trifle in this book to write, poetic thought or merry jest. Each will be here, a welcome guest.

Kind reader use your pen and brain and do not let me ask in vain, when many years have passed away.

And evening shadows round me play, then shall this book of jest and truths, recall the memory of my youth.

Again, I my friend invite, a trifle in this book to write.

The donation which featured the books was made to the hospice on Monday 28 March.

Ashgate Hospice is planning to auction the unique time capsules on its eBay page with the sale of the books helping fund vital end of life and palliative care for patients and families across North Derbyshire.

Anyone with any information about the items is being urged to reach out to Ashgate’s retail team at kevin.marshall@ashgatehospice.org.uk or call 01246 568801.

Waste Not Cafe: Needs YOU! Words: Becky Turner Image: Ellie Bell Photograph

D

id you know that Chesterfield has a social eating project that runs on the first Sunday every month at Chesterfield Baptist Church, Cross Street? It’s called Waste Not Cafe (WNC) and has been running for three years now.

Social eating is about bringing people together to eat food, talking to people you might not normally meet, creating conversations, friendships and relationships (pictured at their Christmas meal).

A dedicated group of volunteers run the pop-up vegetarian and vegan social eating cafe, the aims of the project are to create community cohesion, whilst tackling food waste and food poverty.

The monthly meals are available for a minimum suggested donation of £2.50 adults, £1.50 kids, or pay what you can. Any food that hasn’t been used in cooking is also available to be taken away for a donation and guests come armed with their plastic containers to make any meal leftovers last longer.

The group cook up a delicious three course meal using surplus food given to them by a charity, FareShare, East Midlands. Two million tonnes of food wasted across the food industry each year is good-to-eat when it’s discarded, enough to make the equivalent of 1.3bn meals! Enough to feed everyone in food poverty for half the year.

Meanwhile, 7m people in the UK struggle to get enough to eat (5m adults and 2m children).

In Chesterfield last year around 4,000 adults and over 1,000 children were given emergency three day food supplies. The town now has six food banks with demand still rising. Any profits from the meals are donated to Chesterfield foodbanks

Page 46

WNC volunteer cook Su said “It’s an interesting challenge to create a menu for our guests from our FareShare delivery. We receive a food parcel on a Thursday and a menu is planned. You never know what is going to be in the delivery and we’ve cooked everything from Kung Poa Sprouts to Banana Bread & Butter pudding.”

The group is keen to let as many people know they are operating and welcome as many guests as possible. Some months there are invited speakers and other community groups come and spread the word about their work. Recently FixFest and Seed Swap groups have been talking to diners.

WNC volunteer Becky said “We operate a booking system online for those who have access. Our next meal is in August and we will be welcoming people who just arrive at the Church. We will make sure they get something to take away.

“We have kept the timings the same 6pm the first Sunday of every month at the Baptist Church, Cross Street. Hopefully it's easy to remember. We want as many people who might be in need of a healthy free meal to know about us as possible.”

Patrick from Chesterfield food bank said “Chesterfield Foodbank supports the Waste Not Café and the work they do. Far too much food is wasted in this society. We are always glad to make use of the unused food the café donates us and are happy to help when we can.”

The group is always looking for volunteers to help run the meals, if you would be interested email: chesterfieldwastecafe@gmail.com.

Tutankhamun: Life and Afterlife Words: Rhoda Payton Images: Adobe Stock

A Centennial Anniversary Conference to Celebrate the Discovery of Tutankhamun’s Tomb in 1922.

For everyone interested in Ancient Egypt, 2022 is a very special year in the Egyptology Diary. On 4th November 1922, Howard Carter discovered the first of the steps leading to the Tomb of the long lost Pharaoh Tutankhamun. Tutankhamun was the youngest Pharaoh ever to rule Egypt and his name means ‘Living image of Amun’ who was the most important deity at this time. He lived during the 18th Dynasty and ascended the throne after his father Akhenaten’s death in 1334 BCE. He married his young half-sister, Ankhsenamun, but his reign was cut short, which is why his tomb is one of the smallest in the Valley of the Kings in Thebes, modern day Luxor in Egypt. He died in 1325 BCE around 17 years of age.

His tomb was likely undisturbed for over 3000 years before Carter discovered it, although there were signs that the contents had been moved.

The tomb contained over 500 artefacts and it took Carter and his team 10 years to empty the tomb and record the contents, which are one of the most impressive archaeological finds from the time of Ancient Egypt ever discovered in human history.

The most impressive piece is the famous funerary mask of Tutankhamun made from 22 pounds of pure gold.

Over the years there have been many examinations, x-rays and CT scans on the mummy of Tutankhamun to establish the cause of death.

For years it was thought that he was murdered probably by his successor AY, but that has now been ruled out. We still don’t know the reason today although some of the information from the scans point to an accident. Will we ever know? The important thing is that the name of Tutankhamun lives on today. The Ancient Egyptians believed that after death, if we speak the name of the deceased, he lives on through eternity. And that is the case with Tutankhamun, who although lived and reigned for such a short time is talked about, and his name Tutankhamun will not be forgotten and we have the fabulous trappings of his life that Carter found in his tomb in 1922’.

If you'd like to know more about Tutankhamun, The Society for the Study of Ancient Egypt (SSAE) will be holding a day of lectures at the Chesterfield Library on Saturday 6 August. Details are below.

through seven centuries of rain. Otherwise the eastward tilt could not puzzle you so, nor could a tear stagger down the flecked cheek to that graveyard where chastened giants turn.

Otherwise this church would seem just one of many, striving for the stars of heaven and would not stoop to whisper to the broken: would not, in all its crooked harmony, sing of mercy: for here there is no voice that does not call you; you must change your heart
