Editor’s Message Poor Rafa is in the wars at the moment which has taken up an awful lot of my time of late! He’s had an occasional limp for a little while which got a lot worse, so he had to go for a scan which involves an anaesthetic. Whilst he was out, we decided to have some lumps removed, which the vet advised removing at his last medical (honestly, this dog is better looked after than I look after myself!). Well, the scan revealed our worst nightmare, a broken cruciate ligament, which bearing in mind he is only a 7 year old springer, they recommend a big operation to fix it... minimal walks until the op (2 weeks away) and then very minimal walks thereafter for about 6-8 weeks.

The lumpectomy went well... well, except the stitches on his ribs that pulled apart L ...long story short, Raf now has a hole in his side and has to be watched 24/7 to make sure he doesn’t get it infected (no, they can’t bandage it or put anything over the top and yes, at one point you could see his ribs underneath). To make matters worse we had to set back the op for his leg by another 2 weeks!

He’s being a brave soldier though and he asked his mate Tilly to step in to do his rambles until he is back in action, which she is taking very seriously!

Anyhoo, this month sees lots of new people to the Voice Magazines party! So remember to support these wonderful local businesses doing a good job and don’t forget to tell others about the good service you get by sending me in readers recommends please.

In other news, Gary is narked with me, Barry is a little bit psychic, we have another competition and the Europe referendum should now be becoming a distant memory... one way or another!

Happy Reading,

Emily x

Cooper’s Corner Follow Barry on Twitter @bazdjcooper It has been a memorable football season for a lot of the right reasons but the ghost from a best forgotten past of football violence threatens to overhang the future. Barry submitted this article prior to the Euro 2016 tournament where the behaviour of fans only strengthens his argument… disappointingly so!

Fans clashed with to League One in front of nearly 60,000 at police, with each other, and attacked the United Wembley in the play-off final, just 14 years after team coach.

Anthony Hewkin started Arctic Interiors in 2008, having decided to strike out on his own after honing his skills first as a designer for a kitchen company, then learning his trade making and fitting units. 8 years later Artic Interiors boast a growing reputation, so we thought it was time we told you a bit more about this fantastic local business.

In any job Anthony’s first visit will involve taking the measurements and getting a good understanding of what the client wants, before heading back to his office to draw the project to scale and supply a quote with a 3D imagery of how it will look. This is all part of the free consultation that takes place, with the next about discussing the options, samples and practicalities before the work begins.

As well as a bespoke service one of the best aspects of Arctic Interiors is that you get showroom options and quality but without the price tag. Anthony will be that one point of contact that manages and undertakes the whole process.

Bringing his invaluable expertise and experience Anthony has the knowledge and skills from the technical drawings to the practical applications. He tiles, does all the carpentry and fitting, and pretty much everything except electrics and anything that needs gas safe registering qualification, which he has a team of reliable tradespeople that he can call on for.

10% off everything with this article on any work ordered before the 1st September!

Depending on the size of the job, the versatility of Arctic Interiors means that it can expand and retract the team as required and the consumer will not be incurring any unnecessary costs!

When you see the advert for Arctic Interiors you probably immediate think of Kitchens and Bedrooms but you may not know that they also love to work on built-in bathrooms, home offices and sliding doors! Anthony really enjoys the variety of his work because each project is so different and in his words: “bringing the whole project to life is really satisfying”.

Whether your home is being renovated or just needs a face lift, Arctic Interiors is the company to contact for showroom class and quality at affordable prices.

The Homesford Cottage Tea Rooms & Textile Workshop

Tea Rooms & Textile Workshop A visit to

Homesford Tearooms

I implore everyone to visit this wonderful secluded gem!

Situated just of the A6 at Homesford Matlock (DE4 5HJ). Homesford Tea Rooms & Textile Workshop is so much more than a place you pop into for a nice cuppa!

All the food that you eat (and believe me, you won’t be able to resist) is home made. The desserts are outstanding with such a large choice to choose from classics to something a little more unique. What’s more, they also provide a gluten free option which can be tricky to find!

Becky (the owner) prides herself on providing traditional food with a vintage twist and she really brings this to life with the décor. As I said earlier, there is much more to Homesford because it is also a Textile Workshop when the tea shop isn’t open.

There is regularly a workshop taking place when the tearoom is closed to the general public. For example; Winnie Wagtail Workshop, Recycling with Paint on Glass, is taking place on Tuesday 5th July from 10am until 4pm. You will have lots of fun decorating glass accessories to match your room with Annie Sloane chalk paint. Most months they have a workshop taking place and August will host a Willow Weaving Workshop. You only have to look at the beautiful dress at the entrance, which can be made to measure from original and vintage patterns by Becky personally upon request or attend one of their dress making workshops, to see what can be achieved at these events!

Having a gathering? Why not hire out the tearoom with the exquisite catering, to celebrate that special event in a truly personal fashion. Homesford Tea Rooms really is one of Derbyshire’s must visit places and just to ensure that you do, next month we will be starting and ending the Rafa’s Rambles from there. Just in case this place wasn’t perfect enough, you can also take your furry friends in with you!

Thursdays 11am until 5pm Fridays 9:30am until 5pm Saturdays 9:30am until 6pm Sundays 9:30am until 5pm We are open more frequently during School holidays, see our FB site for more details on times and workshops or contact us –

illy Rambles with T Rafa This month we have a substitute for Rafa who is recovering from a recent operation, which is a shame as he would have loved this perfect summer walk as Tilly told him when she got back. People travel from around the world to see the Major Oak. So, if you haven’t been yourself yet, what better way to see it then on one of our fantastic walks?! There is a visitor’s centre to stop at and good pubs and restaurants in Edwinstowe to quench your thirst or stop for a bite to eat. So why not make a day of it? Thanks again go to David from JH legal for another amazing walk.

6 mile circular from Edwinstowe via the Major Oak

A moderate walk for you and your dog! This walk is fairly flat and should take around 2½ hours to complete. There is a range of terrain, with some possibly muddy and uneven sections. There are a few sections of road, so take plenty of care.

Continue along Mill Road for some distance and then just prior to a ‘national speed limits’ sign and railway bridge turn right along a signposted ‘Bridleway’.

12.

Continue along the bridleway with a river on your right. After some distance cross over a wooden river bridge and then continue straight ahead until reaching a hedgerow directly in front of you. At this point turn right along a lane and continue with the hedge on your left.

13.

After a very short distance the lane bends sharp to the left. Follow the lane around to the left and continue straight ahead until reaching a gap in the hedge on your right. Pass through the gap and back into Jubilee Park. Retrace your steps back to the carpark.

Give a dog a home...

Jerry Green Dog Rescue, care for and rehome abandoned and unwanted dogs, and will never put a dog to sleep unless it’s health or temperament make this the kindest option. We receive no official funding, or lottery funding and are dependent on donations from the public.

We run five centres in the east of England, including your nearest one in Nottinghamshire at Warsop Lane, Bildworth, NG21 0PG. We are open 1:30pm to 4:00pm every day except Wednesday.

Diesel

3 years 10 months Boxer crossbreed Diesel is fine with older children 10 years + Diesel hasn’t had much socialising with other dogs and can be very excited when meeting them, we feel at this stage he would be better rehomed as the only dog in the home until he has had more training when meeting new dogs.

Diesel is housetrained and can be left alone. He is very friendly and enjoys attention and long walks. Diesel has a grade 2 heart murmur that doesn’t affect him currently but will not be covered on insurance.

Obi

2 years 6 months Lurcher Obi has been good with children and has lived with a cat previously. He is vocal initially when he first meets dogs and will bark when he is on the lead. With gentle introductions Obi is friendly and playful. Obi is house-trained and can be left for short periods, if he is bored he may chew so plenty of enrichment would be necessary.

To enquire about adopting a dog, make a donation or for any enquiry please contact us: t: 01623 792 886 e: notts@jerrygreendogs.co.uk 20

Louise’s TraveL Page HI my name is Louise and I would like to welcome you to my monthly travel page. I have lived in the village most of my life and worked in travel for almost 30 years. Each month I will bring you the latest travel news and information to help you with your holiday or business trip.

Bespoke travel to suit your budget

I get a lot of questions about the holidays I can book and the best way to explain is to say that I can book any holiday you would see on the High Street or online. I have access to the wellknown tour operators own systems, but can also tailor-make your holiday to suit your wants needs and budget. I have a client Graham that only ever wants to fly EasyJet and only wants row 1 seats c and d on the plane so he gives me a choice of dates and I check the seating is available before I go back to him with the price.

You work hard all year for that 1 or 2 weeks away with your loved ones and I want to help make it the very best it can be. This is why when we speak I like to get to know you and what you like or any special requirements you may have. I have popped below an email I received from my client Jo whilst she was away in Lanzarote last week.

“Wow Louise we love it here! You were right this hotel is perfect for us and we are having such a good time we want to come back in August for 10 nights. Can you get me a price for when I get home please? Thanks again as always for all your hard work” Jo Hopley If you would like to meet me for a chat to discuss your plans, I now have an office in the South Normanton Business Centre, I have moved to the front office opposite the Co-op car park!

I don’t charge a fee for the service I provide as the suppliers I can use pay me a commission.

As a truly independent agent I am not tied to any tour operators so you can rest assured that the holiday or business travel trip you book is perfect for you.

I am available 7 days a week to take your enquiries and 24/7 whilst you are away in the event of an emergency. For all your travel needs, business or leisure please call me on 01773 318910 / 07973 306280 or email me louise.cutting@travelcounsellors.com and experience the very best in customer service.

Gardener’s Calendar ~ July 2016 This is usually the time of year when most heavy work and planting is over in the garden and you can sit in a deckchair with a glass of something cool and enjoy the results.

But there are still a few things to keep an eye on.

If your lawn starts to dry out you can help it by not mowing too short. However, brown patches may not look brilliant, but they are generally not a major threat to the life of the grass and it will usually recover in autumn. However if you have reseeded or planted new turf this year, you do need to keep it watered so that the roots get a chance to establish in this first year.

To keep a constant production of flowers you need to trick your plants. As soon as the flowers have gone over and seeds are produced, the plant thinks it’s done its job (which is in plant terms to ensure long-term survival through production of seed for the next growing season, not a lovely garden for you!). This means it stops trying so hard. Deadheading once flowers have finished means no seed is set and they have to keep producing. And you get your lovely garden…

If you’ve planted alpines in pots you may find they start to develop bald spots in their central areas. This is often because they’ve dried off. Infill with gritty compost and this should encourage new growth – and it also looks like you’ve designed things that way!

Top Tip!

Water heavily rather than little and often. This will encourage deep roots down into moist soil or compost. Otherwise you finish up with shallow surface roots which are vulnerable to very dry weather and will weaken the plant.

Gary’s Grumbles What Gary writes is often very funny, sometimes serious, sometimes tongue in cheek. My responsibility is firstly to make sure that what he writes doesn’t break any laws and secondly and more trickily, when it does risk offending or upsetting people to decide if it is worth that risk… So I’ve censored a couple of bits this month based on previous emails I’ve received... I don’t think it went down well!

I got censored by Emily this month so had to take a couple of terms out. Ouch.

stadium is fantastic, even if the price of a pint was a bit too much for me to swallow.

So it looky likey that Cliff won’t be charged after all, well congratulations to the bachelor boy who can now look forward to enjoying his summer holiday. In other news it would seem that Clement Freud has been found out as something of a scoundrel, who’d have thought it. I’ve mentioned it before but do you think it’s a case that all dirty pervs become pop stars/ disc jockeys/weathermen/politicians? Or is that somehow stardom offers so much opportunity that they soon get bored and try a bit of (CENSORED)? I don’t know but lets out em all and (CENSORED).

Wouldn’t be a ‘grumble’ without a mention of the weather and what ought to become known as the June monsoon, every year we seem to have a week of what used to be called April showers but the trouble is they aren’t showers they’re downpours and they aren’t in April they’re in June. Over the last 2 weeks I’ve been drenched 6 or 7 times, I’ve got a cold and I’m not happy.

Can somebody sort it out please?

By now you’ll know the outcome of the in out. in out, shake it all about vote, my cynical prediction is that vote out gets about 55% but somehow out of the blue there’s an unknown rule that says we have to vote again and again until the money men get the vote that want. I am a cynic aren’t I? I think the low point of the campaign has been mardy bum Osborne telling the country that if they have the temerity to vote out then he’ll put everyone’s taxes up. What a creepy lookalike Caesar he is. Vote as I say or it’ll cost you mer, mer, me, mer, mer. My last prediction didn’t come off as my beloved Owls lost to the poorly supported Hull City (Tigers), but that’s football, you win you lose and you get back up again. Good day out though and the

The euros seem to have got off to a good start and I’m talking footy not the currency, Engerlund have just given the Welsh a reyt good licking which left me in a state of flux as I’d drawn Wales in the sweep at the Gate. I’m a Yorkshireman so being patriotic takes a back seat when there’s a chance of winning a couple of quid. In the interests of fair play and so as I don’t get a clip from Mandy at the Steampacket I also had a go at the sweep there, its sealed envelopes though so you don’t know who you’ve drawn, it’s so exciting. Talking of Mandy it’s worth a visit to the Packet just to see one of her jumpers.

And Finally, I saw a clean shaven young bloke the other day walking through Swanwick, no piercings and no tats. It was quite a strange sight but he was with a very good looking girl.

Think about it lads.
