Ingredients:

2. Turn over the sausages, then scatter the onion rings over the top. Spray lightly with a little more low-calorie cooking spray and return to the oven for a further 15 minutes. 3. Meanwhile, sieve the flour and baking powder into a mixing bowl or a large jug. Use a hand whisk to mix in the milk very gradually, followed by 75ml water to make a smooth, lump-free batter.

Party starts 5.30 pm - till 8.30 pm

4. Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, until the batter is well combined (it should be a smooth, pourable consistency). Stir in the rosemary and sage, and season.

Kids discos, games and entertainer. Kids Buffet • Bouncy castle Free Entry • Prize for best fancy dress

5. When the sausages are cooked, remove the tin from the oven and quickly pour the batter around them. Return the tin to the oven. Reduce the oven temperature to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas 6 and bake for 25 minutes, or until the batter is puffed up and golden.

The Other End of the Line by Andrea Camilleri

If you’ve seen any of the Inspector Montalbano series on TV you’ll be familiar with the grumpy Sicilian detective and the wit and brio (and food!) of his world. But you may not know that Montalbano’s creator was Andrea Camilleri whose two dozen plus novels have sold 30 million copies worldwide and have been translated into 32 languages. The latest, The Other End of the Line, has just been published, two months after his death at the age of 93. As with all Camilleri’s books the “case” is only part of the story. Always his passion for life and social justice and the people and island of Sicily shines through. In this tale the detective tries to unravel the murder of the dressmaker at the local tailor. She is a woman he found himself charmed by when, to his dismay, he had been sent by his girlfriend to get a “proper” suit for a wedding. But at the same time, Montalbano’s coastal town of Vigata faces a swell of refugees arriving nightly by boat in search of a better life. The whole town is trying to help the migrants while exhausted police try to track down the people smugglers who are getting rich on other people’s misery. Camilleri describes the situation, almost on our doorstep, with humanity and lucidity. His fans will be pleased to know that is not quite the last book. At least one more is still to be published.

Two little words that are not said often enough and also two little words that don’t quite do justice to the gratitude we feel. We took a chance last month, producing the special edition and we were honestly not sure how it would go down. It seems everyone is a little world weary these days but the response we received was fantastic! So much so that we have decided to keep the South Normanton feature running until Christmas, at least. This month we have a special feature on Carnfield Hall where our Danielle was lucky enough to be given a guided tour. We also have some great contributions, from the Parish Council, The Post Mill Centre & Lisa from Artliff Design gives us some more of her fantastic memories of growing up in South Normanton. We also have the wonderful pull out map! Next month will be our Christmas Special. It will be out in mid-November as it is every year and this edition promises to be extra special. So, if you want to feature in it get in touch now! I would like to take this opportunity to introduce a new feature to the magazine called ‘Community Focus’. It is a full-page feature that will be dedicated to a different not-for-profit group, organisation or charity each month. If you want to be featured then all you have to do is submit an article of around 300 words and preferably some pictures. Just let us know all about your group, what you’ve been up to, what you have coming up. Maybe it’s an event or fundraiser? Just send it in and we will pick the best one to feature each month. Thanks again to generous Pinxton and South Normanton Local History Society. Their meetings are held at 7pm on the fourth Monday of the month, except Bank Holidays, where it is held on the 3rd Monday of the month. For more information contact pinxtonandsnormantonhistorysoc@gmail.com or contact Norman on 01773 863743 or Dennis on 01773 813631 And don’t forget the Pinxton and South Normanton Local History Society heritage days are taking place soon 5th October – South Normanton, Post Mill Centre. 19th October – Pinxton Community Centre.

as a garden centre and coffee shop or more recently because of the fantastic events held here, including the upcoming bonfire and fireworks display, perhaps not everyone is aware of its rich history. The origins of Carnfield Hall date back at least as far as 1086, with a reference made in the Doomsday book. However, it is believed the hall dates back even before that with the remnants of an old archway,

The hall remained unoccupied until, in 1987, James Cartland purchased it and began meticulous restorations. At that time only the lower floors were even remotely habitable and the majority of the roof was missing. The work, effort and love that James bestowed upon the hall was vast and the results clear. The current owners, Graham and Heidi Oliver purchased the Hall in 2011 from James Cartland after Graham also fell in love with it, and shortly after they were able to buy the adjoining land and buildings.

In 1912 the hall was clearly in need of some work and following the death of the owner at the time Vaughan Radford, the hall was sold to Melville Watson, a local estate agent, at his own auction. However, just 2 years later Melville was murdered by a disgruntled tenant and all restoration work ceased. Melville’s widow remained in the hall until her death in 1949 and the Hall was again sold to industrialist Noel Derbyshire but it was abandoned in 1956 due to subsidence.

thought to be the original entrance still remaining. The early history of the hall is fascinating and something I will return back to in part 2 in the Christmas special. However, I want to focus on the more recent history as we can see the labour of love that has been involved in the effort to restore the hall to its former glory.

Whilst there is still much work to do, with the dream to recreate the historic estate, the hall is now a wonderful family home and Danielle was stunned by what an amazing job had been done in the restoration. We have included some lovely pictures, which were kindly supplied by Graham and Heidi.

MARKET PLACE

Following on from my walk down memory lane last month I wanted to extend those memories to beyond the High Street. Just recently we have welcomed a new dog in to our family who has become a very big part of my working day. His name is Bailey and he comes in to work with me now the schools are back, on most days of the week. He is a high energy English Springer Spaniel and needs to be kept topped up with his walks throughout the day. As a result of this I had to discover where I could take him at lunch time to throw his much treasured ball and to stretch his legs. Much to my dismay I discovered that the ‘Top Rec’, as I know it, is not accessible to dogs (which is a shame as it just around the corner from my office). So after a few days of just walking around on the lead and discovering South Normanton again I found out that I could take him on to the ‘Bottom Rec’. This was great and another opportunity to have a look at another old stomping ground from my childhood and youth. So you can imagine my delight when I reached the Rec to see, still in place despite many other changes,

the ‘Concrete Dinosaur’ was there!! OMG how that made me smile. I had hours of fun on that dinosaur as a young child on my way to the Briggs Infant School with my grandad and as a teenager, meeting my friends after school and in the summer holidays when we used it as a shelter from the rain. I say a shelter because back then there was a hole in his stomach that lead through his mouth, but this has now been filled in. Gone is the REALLY high slide that we all nearly fell off at some point that definitely wouldn’t pass the health and safety checks now!! And a very dangerous roundabout that went far too fast. In its place is now a new multi gym with a play park at the bottom near the dinosaur and as well as a great skateboard/BMX park and track and the whole place looks so much nicer than what I remember. I never see many children enjoying this but maybe that is because it is in the middle of the week but hopefully the young of today appreciate what they have and get the most out of this great space like we did. Although with nobody around I did have a cheeky go on the Zip Wire…and I have to say it was a funny thing to do at 47 and really made me smile…

Help your local community grow and prosper! Last month I wrote about the changes that have happened in South Normanton, to the retail areas of the High Street and Market Street. However, the biggest factors affecting local shops and businesses these days are all away from the high street. It began with ‘out-of-town’ shopping centres such as Meadowhall and what is now known as the East Midlands Designer Outlet and these days it is Internet shopping. Interestingly below is a wonderful picture of the South Normanton Colliery which was known as ‘Winterbank’ (courtesy of our friends at Pinxton and South Normanton Local History Society). This was located on the grounds of where The East Midlands Designer Outlet is today. Now I’m not going to bash the amazons and the out-of-town Shopping Centres. For starters it would be hypocritical as I have shopped there on many occasions but also because it is absolutely pointless. They are here to stay and in their own way, albeit a little bit generic and lacking in character, they provide a fantastic service.

No, I think we can all co-exist. Last month I wrote about the brilliant ‘Spend Five’ campaign, which encourages people to spend £5 a week at local businesses. If you remember if every adult in South Normanton did this it would work out at £2.2million going directly into the local economy! And the best part is that as that money goes into the pockets of local people, and you know what, they are even more likely to shop local themselves, so often the money goes around again and again and again! The official dates for the national autumn campaign are 5th – 12th October but you may hear me mention this in the future. And why not, when something this simple can have such a beneficial effect you can bet I’m going to keep talking about it So, we can still shop at online and enjoy a frothy hot drink whilst wandering around the designer outlet guilt free, if we just remember to ‘think local’ and pop down the high street occasionally for some of those things we can get on our doorstep. I can guarantee you will be given a warm welcome!

Mike’us sings M

Having lost his rag last month, George has popped off to Scotland for a little respite. Perhaps he will find a new rag, maybe even in a nice Tartan print!

PLUMBING, HEATING & GAS SERVICE

George has been on holiday

As you know, George has had quite a hard time of it this year, not enjoying the best of mental health. It’s been a direct result of him finding it difficult to deal with all the moaning and groaning from those who have looked upon him as being ‘the answer to their prayers’ in his role as UCIP’s People’s Champion. He continues to take his responsibilities seriously. However, listening intently every day to some of the outlandish suggestions his fellow citizens make to improve the lot of the common man/woman of this country, would make anyone, never mind our strongwilled George, question their sanity. After a visit to the surgery – it had been so long since he’d been he had to re-introduce himself to the GP! – the expert advice was that his general state of health was good but that a relaxing holiday would probably work wonders. Well, with the select few eligible to have a say on who the UK’s new Prime Minister was to be, having favoured Boris Johnson, he had concerns. He understood that there was now every likelihood that those who live in Scotland would probably secede – via a democratic referendum of course - from the Union. As a result, he decided to treat his wife to a few days in Scotland as he wanted to find out why it was that Scots were unlikely to warmly embrace the tousled haired blonde buffoon as their new PM.

telephone call, Hamish MacDonald kindly agreed to the pair of them travelling north to spend some time with him and his lovely wife, Morag. Setting off on Tuesday afternoon they crossed the Border around 8.00pm and had a pleasant overnight stop in Ecclefechan before carrying on and meeting up with Mr & Mrs MacDonald the following afternoon. After a couple of hours catching up on old times, Hamish suggested that they go over to the Drumnadrochit Hotel for a wee dram (or two!). What happened next will stay with George & his wife for the rest of their days!

Most gardeners will, despite the fact that there’s still plenty growing, be thinking about spring. So wallflowers violas and winter pansies can go now into the ground along with bulbs. Remember daffs, crocus and narcissus can be planted now but tulips left until well into November to avoid tulip fire. A handy rule of thumb for most bulbs is to plant pretty deep - two to three times their height. Lilies can also be planted in containers now for next summer though it’s probably best to keep the pots in a cool frost-free place rather than outside if you anticipate frozen ground in your garden this winter.

If you have heucheras and they’re starting to look a bit sad it’s a good time to lift and divide, get rid of any rot or decay and replant in small clumps. Perennials such as crocosmia or peonies which produce leaves and flower stems from underground, can be cut back to soil level. But leave stems around penstemons to protect the crown when they start growing again. There’s so many leaves dropping just now, it hardly seems worth the bother of raking them. However there are two good reasons to do this – if left to lie on grass they will get sludgy and damage your lawn, but also leaf mould is great mulch. Usually it can take up to a couple of years to get good leaf mould but you can speed things up by collecting and mowing before bagging. Broken down leaves decay much faster.

TOP TIP!

If you’ve been growing peas or beans this year the temptation is always to heave them out once they’ve finished producing. Just cut back to ground level instead – the roots are a great source of nitrogen which is great for renewing the soil. 06/11/2018 18:16

Unfortunately, like everything else, cricket is reliant No More and Ladders on the finances delivered by satellite television ticket sales, so while having an Ashes series Fasciasjust a couple of weeks after a home World Cup was far Soffits from ideal for the players, it was a necessity from the point of view of England and Wales’ Cricket Board’s bean counters. Once again, it delivered in spades. We can debate all day long the merits of the Ashes being played so close to a World Cup, but in truth, for England to come out of it unbeaten is a success in itself. I was at Headingley to see the team bowled out for 67 on that Friday afternoon, walking away into the sultry Leeds evening, believing the Test and Ashes were gone. The one man who didn’t was Ben Stokes and his heroic colleague, Jack Leach. Stokes’ innings to see England win that match was as good as it gets, it was memorable to say the least. Watching from Trent Bridge, who were playing Yorkshire in the Twenty20 competition, nobody amid the 16,000 cared what was happening out in the middle that day, we were all trying to follow the action from Leeds – the team had captivated a nation, again, just like in 2005. Yes, England may not have been able to win the little urn outright this summer and reclaim it from those pesky Aussies, but we’ve won a World Cup and drawn an Ashes series in the space of three months. That’s something to be proud of, those players are ones to herald, to be proud of and cricket has shown that we can all love it. What an absolute delight it’s been. Now, if we could just get more of it on terrestrial for the masses to see (and don’t get me started on the Hundred)...

This month Barry is banging on about cricket… wait, did I read that right? Cricket?! During the football season? Now I know the worlds gone mad. It must have been a good Summer for the sport then? Let’s see what Barry has to say. To regular readers of this column, you’ll note that football tends to be the subject of choice. However, after a memorable few months of England’s major summer sport, it feels only fitting that this month’s waffle should be dedicated to cricket. What a few months it has been for the England team, Eoin Morgan, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, Jofra Archer and Stuart Broad et all. If you’re a cricket fan then it’s probably been one of the best in living memory, and if you’re not, there’s a fairly good chance that you’ve been captivated by the World Cup and then the Ashes. I know my good lady has become completely infatuated with it, as has one of my good friends – neither cared too much for cricket at the start of the summer – oh how they’re reformed characters now. Cricket’s a magnificent sport, one of the quintessential English games, played throughout the Commonwealth, with arguably its biggest rivalry being that between the two countries which contest the Ashes. And boy has it delivered. First up, it was that magnificent early July afternoon at Lord’s when Ben Stokes and Jofra Archer somehow led England to a first World Cup title in the One Day format of the game over New Zealand in the most dramatic of circumstances. That engaged a nation, it gave the whole country something to celebrate amid all the chaotic nonsense generated by those in Westminster and the whole Brexit shambles. Cricket is like no other sport, even football struggles to generate the pure, dramatic fluctuations - the games that operate within a game, how one wicket can change the course of an entire outcome. It’s unrivalled and I mean that with the greatest respects to others.

Rambles with RafFa lake and

3-mile circular walk from Pinxton Wharf via Selston

A short but sweet walk from our resident ramble aficionado David of JH Legal. David has provided a little extra information in the description about two of the places we visit on this walk, Pinxton Wharf and St Helen’s Church. I think this local history really adds to the colour of the walk so a big thank you to David! We begin the walk at Pinxton Wharf. The Boat Inn is very close by and a good spot to stop in for some refreshment. It is dog friendly indoors and out. We walk along the canal for a short while before branching off across country towards Selston. We enter Selston briefly and walk past St Helen’s Church. Before heading back across country back towards Pinxton Wharf.

A gentle walk which should take you and your dog around 1½-2 hours to complete. There is a couple of quiet roads so please take care, however most of the walk is on paths and trails. Please wear appropriate footwear and, as always, follow the countryside code.

a gap in a fence along a marked footpath. The path leads to a farm track. Continue along the track to continue up and over a bridge. Shortly after the bridge and just prior to reaching a large metal gate directly in front of you, turn left to walk along a farm track going uphill. 4. At the top of the hill keep ahead into a open field, passing a yellow marker post on your left. Continue straight ahead over the brow of the hill and down the other side aiming for a small single tree in the hedge row on the far side of the field. Cross over a tiny stream and pass through the hedge to continue straight ahead for a short distance across another field. 5. At the far side pass through a gap into another field and now continue with the hedge on your right. Upon reaching a large metal gate on your right, ignore a marked path straight ahead and bear left to continue along the edge of the same field keeping the hedge on your right. At the far side of the field continue straight ahead along a narrow path with a fence on your left until reaching a stile. Cross the stile and continue along the edge of another field with a hedge on your right. 6. At the far side of this field cross another stile and then continue uphill to a road. Turn left along the road and after a short distance pass the church on your left. (Take a look at St Helens Church which holds the grave of Gypsy King Dan Boswell.[walk to the left hand side of the
