Trafford Lowe
Started the business in Somercotes in 1956 and quickly became a loyal and trusted member of the community and have served the bereaved in the local area, as years passed Trafford was joined in business by Ray Bonsell. Ray worked with Trafford over many years and after Trafford passed away the business continued in Ray’s capable hands. In 2016 Ray was joined in the business by Barry Pritchard and his wife Yvonne. Barry being a third-generation funeral director himself, is pleased to be working with Ray in the continuation and heritage that has been set.

As well as giving you all the advice and support you need, they offer a wide range of vehicle options. A fleet of Mercedes hearses and limousines, but also alternative vehicles such as the classic horse-drawn hearse, motorcycle hearse, VW Camper Van hearse; they will find the vehicle right for you and your loved one.
Trafford Lowe believe that trust and confidence are most important when their services are called upon during difficult times. They promise to provide you with the service, care and experience you deserve. Everything they do is based on the values that have made their business what it is today.
Catering –
In 2017 they moved from Quarry Road to the premises on Somercotes Hill and have now added an extra branch to the family on the High Street in Alfreton which opened on 2nd December 2019.
From the moment you call or step into the office their aim is to keep things as straightforward and stress free as possible. They will take care of all your requirements and choices, organising everything to save you any unnecessary worry ensuring the funeral will be a true celebration of the life of a loved one lost. They offer a complete in-house service, including flowers catering, orders of service and memorial jewellery. When they work with others, they only choose suppliers who meet their values and high standards.
Vehicles-
Planning your loved one’s last journey is important, and they’ll work closely with you to make it special. Whether you want to include a specific vehicle or take a particular
Many people find comfort in gathering after the funeral to share stories, look back on fond memories and celebrate the life of their loved one. If you’d like to hold a wake or funeral tea, they can help everything, from the planning the gathering and finding a suitable nearby venue, to providing a discreet, dignified catering service with experienced hotels and caterers - they’ll be here to help you manage it all. If you would like to gather in a place that holds special memories, they can arrange outside catering for you, or work with your venue to make sure that everything is in place.
Arranging a funeral –
Every funeral is as unique and special as the person they are for. The funeral should reflect the life they lived and the individual they were, the memories they made and the people who loved them. Trafford Lowe’s aim is to help you to do just that – planning every detail both ahead of the funeral and on the day itself. They won’t let anything affect the quality of their prices will always be fair, competitive
and transparent. They celebrate life in all its diversity and variety. That’s why they’re proud to serve all communities and why they’ll do everything they can to accommodate your wishes and requirements.
Child and baby funerals

Book Review
Services
Margaret Atwood – The Testaments
Reading a sequel can be a bit daunting. Especially when there’s been a 34 year gap between books and the original is as famous and highly regarded as Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale. But fear not. The Testaments is a superb follow-up. Without giving anything away, it manages to give hope to a story which has seemed unremittingly bleak. And of course great glimpses into the workings of the crooked wood of humanity. Atwood has said that most of the inspiration for the story has been everything readers wrote to her about the original book, everything that we wanted to know about Gilead, everything that we thought Gilead reflected in the world. The book seems particularly relevant in this time of Me Too, Fake News and the frenetic pace of our lives and Atwood says the other part of her inspiration is the world we have been living in. As always she writes beautifully, jumping between three witness accounts which in the end begin to merge into one very satisfying ending. The questions about Gilead, about its place in the world and how it could exist in our world now make sense. A worthy Booker prize winner and a really good read.

5-mile circular walk from South Wingfield via Wingfield Manor
His month we are bringing you a walk that originally came to us from the Pentrich and South Wingfield Revolution Group. We have adapted the walk slightly so have provided our own wording but if you want the original please visit www.pentrichrevolution.org.uk where there is a ton of interesting information about the revolution along with more walks.

JERRY GREEN DOG RESCUE ADOPT A DOG
Name:
Dancer
Age:
2 Yrs 7mths
Gender: Female Breed:
Lurcher
Hello friends, my name is Dancer and I am a long way from home with Santa and his sleigh :( I have been here at Jerry Greens for a while now, and am starting to wonder why no one has come forward to adopt me. I am a loveable, sweet natured girlie with a cheeky side to keep you smiling. I would love to find my forever family in a home with people who will buy me squeaky toys and lots of dog treats for the big day - and maybe even share some of their roast dinner with me! I can live with adults and would prefer to be the only pet for now. I would love a home with company.
To find out everything you need to know about Dancer please give the Notts team a call on 01623 792886.

Voice on the Move to the New Year 2020 edition of the Parish Focus and we'd like to take the opportunity to wish all of South Normanton's community a very Happy New Year for 2020.
You may have seen the signs going up on 81 High Street, South Normanton but by the time you are reading this we will (hopefully) be moved into our spangly new premises. You may know the building as a former dentist but now it will be the home of Voice Magazines Ltd and our sister company Artliff Design and Print Limited. We didn’t want to move far as we feel very much at home in South Normanton! So were delighted when the building came up for sale and snapped it up straightaway. It has taken a few months to complete the sale and we have had a lot of work to do inside but it’s finally there and we are really excited to move in! The building has been in place for well over a hundred years. As such it has been a bit of a challenge, with not a straight wall in the place! But we have incorporated this into what we have done inside with a beautiful purpose designed wallpapered wall with relief sign – one of our branded images. As you can see in the pictures the building has changed a bit over the years and there will be a few more changes coming in the future as we look to update the cladding on the front and continue the redevelopment 24

Did you know that over 60% of adults in the UK die without making a Will. Many people do not realise the need to make a Will; either because they believe they are too young, their estate is too small or they have just “never got around to doing it?” The main benefits of a Will are: 1.
You can appoint trusted person(s) to deal with your affairs when you die & take the burden off your loved ones at a very difficult time.
2.
You can appoint guardians in your Will for your minor children. If you do not have a Will then it could be in the hands of the Courts to decide whom they live with.
3.
You can decide whom you wish to benefit from your Estate – if you do not have a Will the law will decide who inherits which may mean your loved ones are not taken care of.
PASSPORTIALIST PHOTO SPECYo ur
At JH Legal Ltd we can help give you peace of mind in making the right Will for you. Our friendly team is led by Jill, a qualified lawyer with over 30 years’ experience in the field and also includes Michelle T who has over 10 years’ experience working with the Court of Protection, Michelle O our Practice Manager and Alison K our newly appointed Legal Secretary.

Mike’us sings M
A Touch Of Gloss
Another year and Mike is back with another fantastic and funny tale from the long suffering George. They make them fertile north of the border!
Decorators Of Distinction
Yet another of George’s tales from north of the Border
George, UCIP’s People’s Champion, came round to our house just before Christmas and confirmed that he has now fully recovered from his stress related illness and is looking forward to providing me with more of the, often surreal, suggestions that the good burghers of the district tell him will improve the quality of life for all. Look out for those during the coming months. In the meantime, he had one more story to tell me from his visit, a few months ago, to his old pal, Hamish MacDonald up in Drumnadrochit. Apparently, George and his amiable host had called in to the local hotel one afternoon for a ‘wee dram’ and found the place heaving with ‘well oiled’ men and women. It transpired that they had just that morning attended the funeral of Jessie McIntosh who, at the age of 85, had tragically died the previous week after being hit by a carelessly tossed caber at the Invermoriston Highland Games. Hamish recognised one of the late departed Jessie’s neighbours, a Mrs Jeannie MacAllister, and introduced George to her whilst he went over to the bar. Despite her clearly having had a drink (or two) – in fond memory of Jessie of course! – George was fascinated by wee Jeannie’s recollections of her neighbour’s full life. “She was 17 when she first got married. That was to Archie MacLennan. He was a hardworking, God fearing kind of a lad and they were very happy, with the union producing 8 children. Sadly, Archie’s boat capsized one day during a fierce Loch Ness squall.
There were six on board that day and all survived apart from young Archie.
Darren Procter
Jessie was heartbroken but was not one for wearing the ‘widow’s weeds’ for too long and married Finlay McFinlay, a crofter from Cannich, barely six months later. The community were pleased to see that Jessie had found happiness again so quickly and she was blessed with two pairs of twins as she and Finlay brought a further 6 ‘weans’ into the world. It was all going so well until the day that Mr McFinlay was charged in the back by Heather, his sole heilan’ coo. He was impaled on the coo’s horns and it was no consolation to Jessie when the paramedics assured her that Finlay ‘......would have died instantaneously.’

Those ‘widow’s weeds’ had to come out once more, but come the following April, Jessie was able to discard them again as she accepted a proposal of marriage from Fraser Mackenzie, a bachelor ghillie from the local laird’s estate. Jessie was once again, lucky in love, and this marriage lasted not only for 40 years, but produced another 7 little ones. Fraser, died only last year. Jessie was a naturally contented lady and a damn fine neighbour to me. Still, she’s at peace now and I’m thankful that she’s able to bring closure.” “Would that be to Archie, Finlay or Fraser in particular?” enquired George. “Ach no”, Jeannie replied, “Ah wiz thinking aboot her legs!”

Outside, remove old hellebore leaves so you can see the new growth and the bobbing flowers as they emerge. You can also prune rose bushes if you haven’t done so already. They’re still dormant so don’t mind the invasion. Cut just above a bud on a slant so rain doesn’t pool on the cut. If you do venture across grass, try to avoid doing so when it’s frosty as this can scorch and leave brown marks. Lawns can get waterlogged and compacted by rain right now, so if that’s the case, spike them and brush in sharp sand and compost to help the roots stay healthy.
r
Watch that pots under eaves or right against the house haven’t dried out or got compacted by rain dropping from roofs. Grit on the surface helps retain moisture and stops clumping. Stripped branches of Christmas trees make good support sticks for the growing season or they can be shredded for mulch.
Houseplants may be suffering a bit with central heating which dries the air. Misting helps. Small misting bottles are available everywhere, you don’t need anything expensive.

The economic boost that Nottingham Forest’s ground redevelopment plans are clear but will it strengthen their hand when competing to return back to the top of the football pyramid? Here’s our Barry with his thoughts... Bargeboards No More Painting Cladding No More Ladders Redevelopment of Nottingham Forest’s Guttering a time when one single Fascias City Rarely can I remember Ground took a step closer recently after the person invested such huge sums of money Minor Roof Repairs Soffits club submitted plans to Rushcliffe Borough Council for approval.
There will be various facets to the project which will see the whole ground improved over time and raised to a level not seen at Forest before, and it will transform the city in many ways. Owner Evangelos Marinakis has earmarked around £100m for the project which will start by knocking down the current Main Stand and constructing a brand new, 10,000 seat stand in its place to help the club create a ‘worldclass’ environment which they hope will see Premier League football before too long. Development of the City Ground has been needed for a couple of decades now, with the most recent addition coming ahead of Euro 96 when the Trent End was built, and the Main Stand, or Peter Taylor Stand as it was renamed a couple of years ago has been untouched since being rebuilt after the 1968 fire.

Not only will a brand new, state of the art venue attract more supporters, and potentially new arrivals in the dressing room, it will also have a positive impact on local businesses and the employment market. Numerous new jobs will be made available once the new stand, complete with museum, shop and upgraded facilities is finished, there’s also the ones generate in the construction of the stand, much of which will be done off-site given the City Ground’s challenging urban location. At last it feels like Forest off the pitch are moving in the pitch and 2020 is shaping up to be an exciting year, here’s hoping Sabri Lamouchi’s playing squad can follow suit.
