Slimming World Recipe Spaghetti bolognese I couldn’t believe it when I realised that we haven’t featured the Slimming World Spaghetti Bolognese before. It’s such a classic and this recipe only has 1 syn per serving! If you’re not a fan of butternut squash why not try courgetti spaghetti or whatever pasta you prefer! Serves: 4 Ready in: 55 minutes Syns per serving: 1

Method:

Ingredients:

1. Put the beef in a deep non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes or until browned, breaking up any lumps with spoon. Drain off any fat and add the onion, garlic and 2 tbsp water. Cover and cook for 10 minutes or until the onion is soft, stirring occasionally.

• 500g lean beef mince (5% fat or less) • 1 large onion, finely chopped • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped • 400g can chopped tomatoes • 400g jar sweet peppers (such as Peppadew), drained and roughly chopped • 3 x 300g packs butternut squash noodles (or see tip) • Chopped fresh parsley, to serve • 4 level tbsp freshly grated Parmesan, to serve

2. Add the chopped tomatoes and peppers to the pan, reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes. 3. When the sauce is nearly ready, put the squash noodles and 100ml boiling water in a non-stick saucepan over a medium-high heat and cook for 5 minutes or until piping hot and tender. Drain, divide between bowls and top with the sauce. Scatter over the parsley and serve with the Parmesan to sprinkle over (1 level tbsp per serving).

Book Review

Middle England by Jonathon Coe

Jonathon Coe’s novel, Middle England, is what you might call a state of the nation tale. It’s like a snapshot of the events of the past ten or so years in this country through the lives and experiences of a group of friends and families. Needless to say, this has not been just any old decade. We’ve had the financial and human consequences of the 2008 crash, then the 2012 Olympics with that brilliant Danny Boyle opening ceremony which gave us a very upbeat idea of ourselves as a country, whether it was the celebration of the NHS, or the fun of the Queen and James Bond parachuting into the Olympic Arena And then there’s been the political upheavals, not least of which has been Brexit and its nation changing dramas. So quite a bit to work with then. Jonathan Coe has obviously recognised that we’re going through a period of immense change. There’s a lot of sympathy for different standpoints and human foibles though But it also reflects what might be seen as a national crisis of identity. What is it that binds us? And is it enough? All this sounds very serious, and while it’s undoubtedly thoughtful, it’s not grim and has some very funny moments. And at a time when there’s not a lot about, it reminds us of the virtues of moderation.

Rambles with RafFa lake

We’re back to following one of fantastic walks from David of JH Legal again this month. I love these walks as the descriptions are so detailed and easy to follow and David always does such a great job finding these routes that are just perfect for us and our four-legged friends.

and

We begin the walk in Renishaw making use of the car park on the Trans Pennine Trail. The Trail is a fantastic resource which stretches across the country, with a significant stretch in our local area. There is more available on the Derbyshire.gov.uk website. We head north via a circuitous route which allows us to see a little of the countryside and taking us as far up as Killamarsh before looping back and heading south down the trail to where we began.

4-mile circular walk from Renishaw via the Trans Pennine Trail A gentle walk which should take you and your dog around 2 hours to complete. There is one road to cross so please take care however most of the walk is on paths and trails. Please wear appropriate footwear and always follow the countryside code.

START: Trans Pennine Trail Car Park, Adjacent to Sitwell Arms, 39 Station Road, Renishaw. Sheffield. S21 3WF 1. With your back to the car park entrance, walk straight ahead to pass by a large metal gate to a finger board sign. Turn right to ‘Chesterfield’. Follow the path going uphill, then just prior to going under a bridge, turn left along a footpath, with houses over to your right. 2. Follow the path for some distance passing beneath a footbridge then continue with a fence and a pond on your left and houses over to your right. After some distance, when the houses on your right end, continue straight ahead through some trees until reaching a road. Cross the road and continue ahead along a marked footpath. 3. After some distance pass through a gap and down a slope onto a trail. Passing a bench

seat on your left cross straight over the trail, pass through a gap and bear around to the right along a footpath. After a short distance the path joins with a lane going uphill for a short distance and then turn right onto a path marked for ‘Westhorpe Hills’. 4. After a very short distance cross a footbridge and keep ahead going gently uphill. After a short distance turn left onto a lane marked by an arrow on a marker post over to your right. Now continue with a hedge on your right. Shortly, the lane begins to drop gently downhill. At the bottom continue through some trees to cross over a stream. 5. Now continue uphill with a hedge on your left and after a short distance bear right away from the hedge to cross an open field. At the far side pass through a gap and continue with a hedge on your left. When the hedge on the left ends keep ahead to cross an open field. 6. At the far side continue onto a lane. Follow the lane around to the left and then uphill. At the top of the hill ignore a path on the right and continue straight ahead to follow a sign for ‘Trans Pennine Way N’. After a short distance pass through a gap and onto a tarmac lane. 7. Turn left, cross a bridge and then in a short distance turn right onto a footpath signposted for ‘Trans Pennine Way’. After a short distance stay to the right of a metal gate to continue along the path going downhill with a fence on your left. At the bottom and before reaching a metal width restrictor, turn right, to cross a stile onto a

footpath marked ‘Cuckoo Way’. 8. Continue along the footpath with ponds on your right. Pass over a crossroads of paths and keep ahead with the ponds on your right for some distance. When the ponds end continue with a fence on your right. 9. When the fence ends the path gives way to a lane. Continue for a short distance, then just prior to reaching an incline in the lane look for 2 paths on the left. Ignore the 1st path going steep downhill and take the 2nd path which bears to the left but stays at the same level. 10. Walk along this path with a bank on your right and the odd glimpse of the Pennine Trail running parallel down to your left. After some distance pass a large metal gate on your left. and shortly you will come to a road. Follow a sign for ‘Trans Pennine Way’ going downhill along the road. 11. After a short distance turn left onto a footpath signposted for ‘Killamarsh Greenway’ and Trans Pennine Way’. Pass through a metal width restrictor, cross over a bridge and then immediately after the bridge turn left onto a lane. After a short distance bear left off the lane to continue downhill along a footpath.

12. At the bottom of the hill pass a width restrictor on your left and continue straight ahead to join the Pennine Trail heading TRAN PENNIN S in the direction E TRAIL signposted for ECKINGTON RENISH ‘Chesterfield’. Continue AW KIL LAM along the trail for A AW SH NI L RE HAL

This walk is for illustrative purposes only. Voice Magazines takes no responsibility for anyone who chooses to follow this route and encourages all walkers to obey all byelaws and signs and to respect the area they are walking in, ensuring they pick up all dog mess and obey the countryside code at all times.

Meet the Hampshire Hill Team

Richard Hampshire, Managing Director of Hampshire Hill Group says welcome back to the introduction to some of our team members; we continue with Dale Bowler, the Adviser Team Manager. “Not everyone can say they love their job but I honestly do! Working with Reece and Ian as well as the other Advisers, providing holistic financial advice to help client’s achieve their financial goals is really rewarding. I head up the team of Financial Advisers and we’re all ISO 22222 accredited; we place emphasis on providing a professional and friendly service. Our aim is to add value to a client’s situation and help their dreams become reality” comments Dale. Dale has been married for 32 years to Jen, yes he likes to think he doesn’t look old enough, and has 2 grown up independent daughters. Outside of work he enjoys spending time with his family, is a big football and cricket fan and enjoys foreign travel, walking, gardening and DIY. Ian, Reece and Dale are just a few of the team at Hampshire Hill. Their focus is very much one of partnership and looking at the lifestyle as a whole, not just with a financial eye but, like Dale said, a holistic approach. They all liaise with clients to make their money work better for them having regular face-to-face meetings, follow up discussions and of course review meetings. They all feel they couldn’t do their roles to the level they do if the business didn’t have a comprehensive, robust structure in place with established processes which have proven to work over the years. The business works to the BS 8577 standard for financial planning firms and have had this accreditation since 2014. “It’s no mean feat for a firm of our size to achieve this level of working practice and I’m proud of the team. We’re continually pushing ourselves to be the best we possibly can be and having all the advisers certified to the ISO 22222 standard as well is just brilliant.” Richard explains “Although some may say that having these two recognitions of the standards we work to isn’t necessary we think it gives our clients reassurance; reassurance they’re working with a specialist company focused on giving the best advice possible.”

run smoothly by managing the day to day process. “My role involves liaising with advisers and clients to ensure mortgage applications are completed as smoothly and quickly as possible. Making sure clients are in a position to press the button and go ahead with a mortgage is really satisfying. When they’ve found their new home it’s often time sensitive and a pressurised time; I like to think that I help remove some of the stress from the process”, says Mel. Those of you who are keen runners may have seen Mel in the area as she is a keen runner, competing for Sutton-inAshfield Harriers & AC, running everything from 5K to marathons and is also a volunteer at the Brierley Forest park run. Last but not least is the team member affectionately referred to as ‘The Oracle’, Sue Hampshire. As Head of Operations, Sue makes sure the business is always working to high standards. She has such a keen eye for detail it’s unreal and has a thorough understanding of all elements of the business, ranging from accounts to client contact. She is in fact the go-to person for the advisers if they have any questions. Hampshire Hill might be a local business but they have clients all over the country, which is testament to the high quality of advice they deliver to their client base. With many businesses and individuals using their expertise, the business is truly going from strength to strength and is now looking for new premises to give them more space. “I know it’s a cliché but we do like to think of ourselves as a family. We’ve developed apprentices, giving them their first role in business administration or finance, have continually invested in our team and it’s thanks to this approach that we’re where we are,” concludes Richard. “We’re looking forward to seeing what the next 10 years holds for Hampshire Hill, because one thing’s for certain we have no intention of stopping doing what we love.”

Hampshire Hill offer a wide range of financial advice including but not limited to inheritance tax planning, pensions and retirement plans, savings and investments, insurances and of course their mortgage team have helped many people over the years secure a new home. Mel Cook, Mortgage Operations Assistant, helps the mortgage department

Mike’us sings M

As we continue the ‘best of’ Mike’s Musing this is the first time Mike’s took tentative steps into politics. He’s still waiting for his parliamentary breakthrough but with a General Election on the horizon maybe this is his opportunity (ed - probably not)…

Part 1 of ‘How we can make this a better country’

I’m thinking of forming a new political party. One that speaks for ordinary people and the things they care about. Come and join me to ensure that our populist policies become part of the future fabric of our caring and sharing society.

The first part of our manifesto, which deals with some of the more important issues currently facing us, is listed below.

Policy – retain them, but revert to calling them sleeping policemen. The problem will still be there but at least the change of name makes them sound a bit better. Problem No 2 – Inconsiderate use of mobile phones in restaurants and on public transport. Policy – Give waiters, train managers and bus drivers the authorisation to immediately amputate the hand of any offender. NB – both hands for repeat offenders. Problem No 3 – A nationwide issue, but an especially prevalent one in my own village, is the mess left behind by the inconsiderate owners of incontinent dogs. Policy – Reintroduce the dog licence and as part of the registration process, owners be requested to submit a ‘sample’. NB – from the dog, silly! Funded by the fines raised – it would initially be a small fortune in Newton alone – a national task force be set up to have the DNA of all dog poo checked against centrally held records. Problem No 4 – the nation is being littered by irresponsible householders who, each fortnight, insist on putting out their recyclable papers etc. in boxes exposed to the elements, as opposed to within a sealed container.

Policy – For a first offence, and under supervision (NB – the dog poo wardens could combine this with their main duties), the culprit be asked to pick up every item of litter found within a 50 yard radius of their house. For subsequent offences, the ‘deep clean’ area be extended by a further 50 yards. Problem No 5 – Journalists who seem to think they’re ‘with it’ by describing the nation’s national sport as ‘footie’. They clearly know very little of the reality of following football. Policy – Those guilty should be provided with a Chesterfield FC Season Ticket (NB – this to apply in the 2019/20 football season only. It may well be YOUR club next year!). This will remind them that there are many less twee and more active descriptors for the so called ‘beautiful game’. As we’ve been talking politics, and it seems as if a General Election is a not too distant posibility, for this month’s little quiz, can you state the years in which the last ten Elections have taken place? No prizes, but you can check to see if you got all ten right at the bottom of the page.

Answers: 2017, 2015, 2010, 2005, 2001, 1997, 1992, 1987, 1983, 1979

Problem No 1 – Speed bumps are the bane of all sensible motorists

Gardener’s Calendar

It’s been an odd summer. Periods of intense heat, followed by torrential monsoon-like downpours. And whilst there is still loads going on in the garden with the later flowerers coming into their own and pots and baskets continuing till the first frosts, (so long as we remember to deadhead) it’s also a good time to think about the coming seasons whatever they throw at us. Congested perennials can be divided now while you can properly see their footprint on the garden and where there might be some gaps which need filling. Division keeps the plants healthy and of course gives you more flowers next year. You can do this every two to three years with plants such as crocosmia, delphiniums, blue geraniums, iris, hostas and anemone.

Lift with a fork and split either with back-to-back forks in the case of hostas with tough roots or in clumps of five or so shoots with plants like crocosmia. Replant in your chosen spot with a bit of garden compost to feed and keep well-watered. Bare root wallflowers can go in now for spring flowering and primulas and pansies and violas at the end of the month and it’s also time to think about planting daffs (now) and tulips (up till end of November).

COOPER’S CORNER Wayne Rooney is back in the UK… at Derby County. I don’t think many people saw that coming! But with a gambling company playing a key role in the signing is there an ethical question over this transfer? Here’s our Barry’s take on it… There’s been an awful lot written and probably a whole lot more said about Wayne Rooney’s move to Championship club Derby County.

From a football perspective first and foremost, you have to say it’s a fine move for the Rams and an interesting one for Rooney himself. Signing a player of his caliber, a former England captain and record goalscorer is quite a coup for a second division team which haven’t played in the Premier League for more than a decade. And let’s be right, it’s a great signing for the Championship, Derby County and also the area. Anything that brings added focus and interest in this region can only be a good thing in my book and you have to tip your hat to Derby for having the audacity and ability to pull it off. Now, onto the rather thorny issue of the ethics. Rooney’s move is in part being funded by Derby’s club sponsor, a betting firm which in truth, creates its own discussion and there will be plenty who have an opinion and sit on both sides of the debate. A side issue is that a rather inventive way of bypassing Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations has been to give him a player/coach contract, which means under the Football League’s (EFL) FFP guidelines, only half of his salary has to be included in such calculations. As we saw last season with the selling of Pride Park Stadium and leasing it back to

him, owner Mel Morris is nothing if not smart, much to the annoyance of Steve Gibson at Middlesbrough. The ethics of the move remain debatable. Should a gambling firm be having such an impact that they pay half of a players reported £80,000 per week salary, whilst giving him the shirt number which forms part of their name? Problems with youngsters gambling on football are growing – an area to worry about for sure. Football is awash with money, we know that, and the game rarely takes too much of an interest in where the money comes from, as long as it comes and keeps on coming. Gambling is a big problem in the sport with half of all Premier League teams this season being sponsored by one, while Derby’s archrivals Nottingham Forest have been recently and are again this term sporting the name of a gambling company. The EFL are on a sticky wicket, though, and them stepping in is unlikely. After all, their competition’s title sponsor is a betting firm, while the FA were forced to drop Ladbrokes as one of their partners, you can see their dilemma. In reality, few will care if Rooney, number 32 on his back, arrives from Washington in January and plays a part in Derby winning promotion to the Premier League, but the wider concern has to be the sheer level of sway betting firms have on the game in this country.
