Editor’s Message Merry Christmas one and all and welcome to our special Christmas edition. Did I mention it’s nearly Christmas!? I make no apologies for being cheerful about Christmas. And if you’re feeling a bit grumpy about it just imagine winter without Christmas!
Don’t forget to mention the ‘Voice’ when you use any of the companies in this magazine
Staying on the theme (it’s Christmas by the way) we have a load of fabulous Christmas content and adverts, including events in our Things To Do section and throughout the magazine so make sure you have a good read through so you don’t miss anything. Congratulations to all our NEC Xmas Gift Fair winners. We had a great response again this year so sorry to all those of you who didn’t get tickets. But if you did miss out don’t despair, we have a new competition for you this month. We have a set of family tickets to give away for Peter Pan at the Nottingham Theatre Royal, starring Joe Pasquale and John Challis. Turn to page 21 to find out more!

To help us celebrate the season we have another foster arriving before this magazine lands on your doorstep. It’s a really special thing being able to help a dog, especially this time of the year. I may have mentioned before but we help Spaniel Aid, who do so much good work, fostering and finding homes for deserving doggies but there are lots of other good charities to support, so if you want to help, don’t delay, give a rescue dog a home for Christmas.
To advertise contact... Emily on: 01773 549 035 or 07891 639 638 info@voicemagazines.co.uk David on: 01773 549 035 or 07976 182 589 david@voicemagazines.co.uk
The next time we will be dropping on your doorstep will be 2019. Now that is a scary thought. We have big plans for next year, with a new website and more mags in the pipeline, along with new exciting content, more great competitions and of course, as always, the very best local information and businesses. Sooooooo keep your eyes peeled!
Upcoming Submission Deadline for Advertisers and Contributors:
Have a Merry one!

Owning an Arctic Cabins BBQ Hut means you can enjoy your garden 365 days a year, whatever the weather! Many of our owners find they use their cabins for a multitude of reasons, from the obvious BBQ parties, to gatherings with friends, a quiet place for the kids to do their homework, or somewhere for Mum & Dad to escape from the noise of the Xbox!! Some owners even use them for work! You may not have considered using your garden before at Christmas time but this is when our cabins become truly magical. From festive parties to waking up on Christmas morning with a cabin full of presents from Santa! Imagine watching the snow gently fall outside whilst sipping some warm mulled wine in front of a roaring fire… Christmas bliss! We have all 4 sizes of BBQ cabin on display at our Nottingham show village, from the small (7m2 cabin) up to the Extra large (17m2) version.

Be Mouthaware for November This month I was invited to Glendair in aid of Mouth Cancer action Month, to have a free oral health check with senior dentist Matt. I did point out that this could be an awkward write up but thankfully I was given a good bill of health!
So, I was welcomed into the room and sat in the dentist chair as normal. I was asked a few
questions and then Matt proceeded with the check, full mouth, gums, lips and under the
tongue. The beauty of this check at Glendair is that it isn’t just once a year, this full check (approx. an extra 5 mins on your appointment) is carried out as routine with your usual dentistry check- ups.
As is always the case with Glendair, they really take the time to care about the bigger
picture and one of the things that was shocking to me, was that Mouth Cancer is very serious. Not least because it is yet another silent killer that is difficult to detect but also because the survival rates are not very happy reading if it does not get detected early.
Some of the signs are things that you may see commonly, such as mouth ulcers and the risks are higher with people who smoke and drink. However, if you are concerned about
anything at all, just pop into Glendair...you don’t need to be and existing customer, Matt and
the team made it very clear to me, that anyone with any concerns are more than welcome to pop in for a free oral health check...Don’t be square, be Mouthaware!!!

Health & Wellbeing
with Helen
An independent mind… Do you every find that your moods and emotions are affected and influenced by other people? By what they do, don’t do, say or don’t say or even just ‘vibes’ and energy you feel from them?
If so this is a very natural thing and when the people who are affecting you are in positive spirits or behaving exactly as you want them to it can have a really positive affect on you. But sometimes when another’s behaviour or energy is not quite so positive or not as you want it to be it is important that we take care to ensure we are not adversely affected. I often find myself influenced by the behaviour and moods of others but I am slowly learning that I can still be a loving and supportive force in a person’s life without ‘taking on’ their energy. When a close family member was suffering a great deal an important spiritual guide in my life asked me how I was dealing with the situation. When I responded that I was rather worried and was very upset about seeing my family member suffer so much my guide responded: “Helen you can show love and compassion, be helpful and practical but your family member is on their path, it is their journey and their experience to be had.” Immediately I felt less ‘responsible’ – no less concern or compassion but less like it was my responsibility to solve this problem for them. And with this new mind-set I was able to bring much more positivity and practical support into their life than I had previously. It is often useful to remember that we are our own person in charge of our own thoughts and reactions. Just because another person is
behaving in a certain way or feeling a certain way it does not mean we have to. We are not that other person! If we are independent of the moods and emotions of others we can then choose to keep giving off positive energy which in turn can help those around you. I am not saying for a single minute that any of this is easy!! I will be the first to admit for me it is often a huge challenge and I don’t always succeed in being emotionally non-attached but the times I do I know I feel better for myself and help others to feel more positivity too… Positivity is infectious … Start spreading it today!
Activity… egg of light meditation Imagine you are sitting/lying/standing with a gentle loving white light all around you. Imagine within this white light is positive and supportive energy, surrounding you. Any positive energy that others are giving off goes through the egg of white light for you to share. Any negative energy/words that anyone is giving off go towards your egg of light bouncing off and returning back to them as positive energy. Take a few moments to imagine this when you first wake up and then at any point throughout the day when you are picking up any negativity imagine yourself in your lovely egg of light.

COMPETITION TIME PETER PAN
at Nottingham Theatre Royal Take a fairy tale flight to Neverland this Christmas in the swashbuckling family adventure Peter Pan. Join their high-flying hero as he transports the Darlings on an adventure they will never forget full of evil pirates, the lost boys, a very hungry crocodile and the meanest man in Neverland, Captain Hook. Comedian and actor Joe Pasquale will lead the cast in the role of Smee. Wellknown and best-loved for being one of the hardest-working and top-selling live comedians in British comedy today. Joining Joe on this seafaring adventure as Captain Hook, the most evil man in Neverland, is John Challis. Known for his role as Boycie in the BBC’s long-running Only Fools and Horses, John (and his character’s iconic laugh) have entertained television viewers for decades. To win 4 x family tickets (4 people, max 2 adults) to the performance on Thu 13 December at 7.15pm just email the correct answer to the following question to info@voicemagazines.co.uk by 3rd December 2018.

Rambles with Rafa This month’s walk was a resounding hit with both two-legged and fourlegged ramblers. It mixes some fascinating local history, an attractive town, beautiful countryside, and stunning views. What more could you ask for? A big thank you goes out to David from JH legal! The walk begins at the Historic North Mill and takes you through the town by some of the historical landmarks of the town. Take some time to read the information boards if you want to learn about Belpers rich industrial history. From here we head out across country to Makeney, where the Holly Bush Inn makes the perfect dog friendly stop. Next we cross the Derwent in Milford before heading back across country to Belper and more fantastic views.
7 mile circular walk from Belper via Makeney
A mid-length walk which should take you and your dog around 3 hours to complete. The walk features a number of roads so please take care. There majority of the walk is on trails but please wear appropriate footwear and as always, please follow the countryside code.

Book Review
Family expectations, in this case the need for children to fulfil the dreams of their parents, are always a thorny area. The adult may want the child to be accepted and popular in a way they never were. Or to achieve something they failed to do themselves. And for the child it may be a balancing act between trying to keep their parents happy and their family together whilst negotiating the difficult shores of growing up and becoming their own person. Never easy, sometimes tragic. This is the tale of Lydia Lee and her family as told by Celeste Ng in Everything I Never Told You. Although Ms Ng does add the complication of a boy Lydia pursues at school and who may, or may not, have something to do with her being found floating in the local lake. This is a first novel, but it has struck a chord with many readers. It’s very good on the pressures on children to become what their parents want of them. And on what happens when you’re not the chosen child that everything rests upon. The author gives a good account of what many will recognise as family life and the stories which families tell themselves which may be a million miles from the truth. Worth a read.

Mike’s Musings It has been said that no good deed does unpunished. Well I can’t speak for everyone but my thoughts are, if the reward is a warm glow, a chuckle and good story to tell then just maybe it was worth it. At this time of year, you’d need to be a particularly hard-hearted Hannah not to be moved by this poignant tale of a charitable act in which a group of individuals go out of their way to help someone less fortunate than themselves. Be warned, you may need a handkerchief nearby! About 30 years ago – before Amazon, Yodel and the rest came to prominence - in the busy preChristmas period at Somercotes Sorting Office, one member of the hard working staff came across an unstamped envelope. In pencil, was the simple hand written request Please Deliver to God. Suitably intrigued, Alice who had discovered this note was given permission to open the envelope. Inside was one sheet of paper containing the following tear jerking message:Dear God With Christmas coming I do hope you can help me. Albert, my husband died recently, and after paying for his funeral, I’ve very little money. We had no children of our own but I do have some very good neighbours who have helped me through this difficult period. As a result I’d like to repay their kindness and invite them round to my house for a wee party. However, I’ve barely enough to feed myself and was wondering if you might be able to send me £100 to get some nice food and drink in for them. That should be enough to make it worthwhile. I expect you’re busy at this time of year yourself, but I’m hoping you can meet my request. Yours sincerely Margaret No.## Charnwood Crescent Well Alice had recently lost her Dad and was aware of the comfort her own Mum would need during the coming festive season, and this prompted her to do what she could to help. She asked her workmates if they’d be prepared to chip in and make a contribution. They all agreed and between them, with a generous donation from the Sorting Office management team, they raised a total of £96. NB – this was a lot of money in the 1980’s. A couple of days before Christmas, having identified the correct Charnwood Crescent in the DE55 post code zone, Alice quietly slipped an envelope containing this amount of cash through Margaret’s letter box. Not wishing to seek any praise or thanks on behalf of the Sorting Office for their good deed, as a deliberate act, there was nothing to indicate where the precious windfall had come from. A few days into the New Year, Alice just happened to be on duty when another unstamped enveloped arrived at her sorting station. Just as before, this was addressed Please Deliver to God. Recognising the handwriting, and without seeking her supervisor’s permission, Alice opened the envelope. Inside was the following brief thank you note. Dear God Thank you very much for sending that money. I laid on a lovely party for my neighbours. You ought to know however that the envelope was £4 short. I’m reckoning it was those b******s at the Post Office! Margaret

Newton contacted us to tell us all about the fantastic work that Dale and his team at DRB Waste Recycling helped her with last month.
“DRB Waste Recycling collected garden waste from me including two concrete bunkers, a compost bin, a fence panel, lots of hardcore and wood. It was all collected quickly and efficiently and was charged much less than half the price I quoted for skip. I was so thrilled with their service and I can’t recommend them highly enough. I think that Voice Magazines are really useful and I always refer to it when looking for a business.”

Time for a clear-up in the garden. Rake fallen leaves onto your lawn then mow with a rotary mower. This cuts the leaves up fine so they’ll compost more easily and you can rake up the resulting mix. Edging the lawn before winter makes it look more cared for.
Things you can plant now include bare root roses and currant bushes which are in their dormant period. If you’re looking for some winter colour try cyclamen (not the big showy inside ones they won’t survive the cold), pansies, trailing ivy and primulas. The bare stems of cornus come in different colours and are lovely in a winter garden. If you’re planning a waste bonfire – assuming it’s legal in your area, so check with your local authority – make sure there’s no hedgehogs hibernating inside. Also be careful when turning compost heaps which often provide winter warmth for frogs and toads. And if you’ve got plants with hollow stems don’t cut them down as they provide overwintering for insects.
Top Tip!
If the garden is getting bit bare, don’t forget birds can bring loads of life into it. Insect cake hung up will attract tits, berry cake for finches, peanuts cake for starlings. Small birds love grated cheese or bits of bacon rind, blackbirds fruit and raisins.

Cooper’s Corner Follow Barry on Twitter @bazdjcooper Football writer at Trinity Mirror
Barry had me breaking out into Bob Dylan at the start of this article. But who will be saying I Threw It All Away after the upcoming derby match and who will be the Masters of War. The answer my friend is Blowing in the Wind.
Are times changing at our two biggest clubs in the East Midlands?
Nottingham Forest are a club reinvigorated under the tutelage of Aitor Karanka and their new ownership, with record season ticket sales and a bumper average attendance backing a push for the top six after years of decline.
At their arch-rivals Derby County, Frank Lampard has seemingly won over the doubters (including my very sceptical other half) and turned his youngsters into a team which looks capable of mounting a genuine play-off campaign.
An impressive Carabao Cup win at Manchester United was the high point in the campaign to date, while a spirited display against Chelsea’s reserves before two own goals saw their challenge fall at Stamford Bridge raised expectations yet further. Forest are averaging more than 27,500 at the City Ground this season thus far, and should that theme continue, then they’ll record their biggest average crowd on Trentside since the days when Brian Clough and Peter Taylor’s men conquered all comers domestically and in Europe. For a club which have been deprived of top-flight action for almost two decades, missing out not only on the riches that 48
comes with Premier League football, but also a legion of new supporters, that deserves respect in anybody’s language. Both Derby and Forest are challenging at the right end of the Championship and that’s great for these two fine clubs, who both need to push each other on to better things. English football needs a great rivalry between the Reds and Rams, and the Premier League would be a much better, passionate place with the pair playing in it.
Whether that happens this season remains to be seen, and while it may turn out to be a little way off just yet, you can’t but help but feel enthused by the progress they are making and the exciting brand of football on show for the supporters who have witnessed plenty of dross in recent times. Nothing will be decided when the pair meet at Pride Park on December 17th – it will however, give a glimpse of Forest’s development following the arrival of 18 new players since the end of last season, and where Derby are at under Lampard.
East Midlands’ derbies are never ones to be missed – and in this case, you wouldn’t want to avoid the season’s first instalment at the black and white end of the A52.
