11 Amber Valley have been successfully running the Befriending Service since 1998, with the aim of providing a friendly trained volunteer to visit isolated and vulnerable people living in their own homes to offer companionship and support. One lady who has found the service to be very bene icial is Mary aged 84 years. Mary irst received the Home from Hospital service from Amber Valley CVS when she came out of hospital in February 2010. Home from Hospital is a short term support service that enables clients to adjust being back at home. After having the service for six weeks it was agreed both with Mary and the befriender that both parties wanted to continue the weekly visits. Mary and her Befriender Joan, a retired teacher, have been together ever since. Mary has unfortunately been back in to hospital and when she came out she didn’t go back to her lat, but into her new one, this was all a bit strange at irst but everyone worked really hard to get her new lat ready for her. Mary feels very happy in her new place and is very glad that Joan could come and visit her there. Mary is very lucky to have a very supportive family who visit regularly as Mary inds it very dif icult to get out and about, but having another person who is not her family also has its appeal, “We talk non-stop and I like to ind out about what Joan has been up to” Mary said. Two years on and Mary still says “it makes my day, I look forward to Joan coming, and don’t you dare think of taking her away from me as I would miss it if it didn’t happen” So why become a Befriender, well for Joan her experience is: - “it’s about giving something back and I like to think that I can make a difference to someone’s life, I can’t believe that I have been coming so long, it doesn’t feel like over two years and we still have lots to talk about” Amber Valley CVS are urgently looking for volunteers to act as Befriender's to visit someone once a week, for a chat and to help brighten a client’s day. As little as one hour of your time could make all the difference. We have a number of people in the Amber Valley area who are waiting for someone to talk to. If you would like to know more about this service and how you can help, please ring 01773 512076 or call in to Amber Valley CVS, Market Place Ripley.
If you are able to give as little as one hour to volunteer to Befriend someone out in your local community, please give us a call on 01773 512076. To Advertise please call Emily on 01773 604178 or 07891 639638
12 This month we have bringing you a walk that is a little longer than our previous walks but with the improving weather it is a perfect time to put a few hours aside and get the most of our beautiful local countryside.

Remember If you have a favourite walk of your own why not share it with us by email at info@ambervalleyvoice.co.uk or by calling Emily on 01773 604178 or 07891 639638 7 Mile Circular Walk From Alfreton Park to South Wingfield Another great walk for you and your dog it offers a range of scenery and plenty of off-lead walking. The route is fairly long taking about 3 1/2 hours. It is fairly undulating with some small uphill sections and the terrain is mixed with some sections which may be best tackled with a sturdy pair of boots.

Editors Choice This month I spent an afternoon at the lounge with Claire and Lynsay, where I had a Hopi Ear Candle and Indian Head Massage treatment and a wash and blow dry. The environment was so relaxing and calming and Claire was so friendly, she instantly put me at ease. The Hopi Ear Candle was fantastic and cleared my head and it was followed by the Head Massage, in which Claire ascertained my hair type and identi<ied a gorgeous oil which smelt just like lemon drizzle cake...I am partial to the odd dessert!! Once Claire had <inished, I was handed over to the magic hands of Lynsay who worked miracles on my now oily hair! I felt a million dollars and although I have never been partial to spending hours in a salon….I could easily spend a day in ‘the lounge’!!

20 Many women may prefer to have a slimmer tummy and we usually know the cause of one that bulges a little too much. But what if we genuinely have no idea why we have developed a belly bulge? What if it just gradually appeared, and rather than bloating up one day then down the next-which may suggest irritable bowel syndrome- it seems more of a constant fullness? You may be considering going up a size in clothes, or feel generally bloated and your face may be fuller than it was. In most cases, it is simply more calories or less activity, or both, but if you really analyse your lifestyle and cannot see a change, and if you have noticed other symptoms too, it may be worth investigating a little further. One diseases whose symptoms can easily be ignored is ovarian cancer. It is non-speci<ic and signs can easily be brushed aside. As well as bloating, symptoms include pelvic, abdominal or back pain and feeling full quickly. Sometimes there are urinary symptoms or bowel changes and extreme fatigue. It is easy to look on the internet and worry yourself, but an experienced clinician eg a good GP or nurse, can determine if your symptoms warrant further investigation. However, if symptoms persist despite reassurance, you need to return for a second opinion- you know your body best. The charity 'Target Ovarian Cancer' is one which helps raise awareness and helps clinicians to be more alert. 'The Eve Appeal' is another which raises money to further research and raise awareness, into gynaecological cancers generally. With 1:50 women of all ages contracting ovarian cancer, that’s the 5th most common cancer, it cannot be ignored and because it is so vague, it has often progressed further than other cancers before help is sought, making treatment dif<icult. At ‘About Backs &Bones’ we are having a Mad Hatters Tea Party to raise money and particularly, to raise awareness about this disease. Not only that, we are offering a free 20 min consultation with an osteopath or physiotherapist for anyone who has aches and pains and a £15 voucher for those new to the clinic, with £5 being donated to 'Target Ovarian Cancer'.

DVD Review - The Artist(PG)
21
It is exceedingly unusual and generally not very complimentary to say that a <ilm is ‘behind the times’ but in this case, it is a compliment! This <ilm is essentially a black and white silent movie which takes us back to the days of Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton along with other greats of the silver screen who managed to convey a compelling story without saying a single word. Set in 1927 Hollywood, George Valentin (Jean Dujardin) is a mega star of the screen who leads a seemingly perfect life and wants for nothing. That is until two signi<icant things happen in his life… along come the ‘talkies’ and he meets wannabe actress Peppy Miller (Bernice Bejo). We follow George and his fall from grace as he struggles to overcome his pride and come to terms with a world that has moved on without him . This <ilm is clearly deserving of the accolades it has received and is very entertaining and well acted, although arguably the star of the movie is ‘The Dog’ (Uggie). However, as is often the case with anything with such hype surrounding it, The Artist <inds it dif<icult to live up to such high expectations. If you try and take it as it comes and ignore the surrounding furore this will be a highly enjoyable watch.

Gardeners Calendar - June
This month you should reduce clusters of apples or pears to single fruit. It seems a shame, but you’ll inish up with stronger healthier fruit in the end. Deadhead repeat lowering roses – and other plants – it stops them trying to set seed so they concentrate on producing more lowers in the hope of producing more seed. Now’s the time to cut back old hellebore foliage but leave the seed heads in place. When they’re ripe (the pods will burst open) plant them and see what comes up next year – like aquilegia, they’re almost always different from the parent plant.
Top Tip If you want long stemmed sweet peas tie them in to their supports and remove side shoots and tendrils rather than relying on them to pull the plant upwards
