From the Editor Hello Readers!
As another decade begins, we are compelled to look back on what has been and it’s important that we reflect and learn from it, in order to grow and improve for the future. Personally speaking, I’m pretty keen on this philosophy and I always try and stand by it – particularly at the start of the year.
LOVE YOUR CAR THIS WINTER Part of an independent group of family run garages, we offer a full range of services at highly competitive prices. Fully guaranteed servicing, repairs and diagnostics on all vehicle makes and models by professional, continuously trained and friendly mechanics. MOT testing for all cars, Class 7 vans and campervans.
advertisers that I trustworthy – If I can confirm that we have a bad egg, legitimately – they do not advertise with us anymore. Anyhoo, maybe I’m just being nostalgic because it’s been 10 years or because it’s my birthday month but either way – it got me thinking about what the next 10 years will bring?!
Lots of changes have happened and whether you agree with the changes or not, they will happen come what may and I think it is important that we use our voices to try and leave this world a better place than how we found it. We have lost, to some degree, a sense of community as ‘I’ takes precedence over everything and for me, whilst we grow technologically speaking, we lose on a human level.
In other news, I’m off to see the Sheffield Steelers for my Birthday and to throw some axes #excited and we’ve got our main man Jon back for deliveries this month.
Believe it or not, this was one of the driving forces for me starting the magazines 10 years ago… it certainly wasn’t the money and the easy lifestyle that I enjoy! #eyeroll. For me, I saw that people were starting to anonymously post on FB and the like – “does anyone know…?, “where can I find…?”, “company X is rubbish, don’t use them.” From this, I could see that people didn’t know what events were happening locally, who to go to when they had an issue and, in more cases than I liked, had the power to destroy a good hardworking business – sometimes rightly but more often than not, wrongly.

Ready in: 1 Hour & 5 mins
Syns per serving: 6
1. Preheat your oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas 6. 2. Boil the potatoes in a large pan for 10-12 minutes, adding the leeks for the final 2 minutes. 3. Drain well and transfer to a baking dish. 4. Add the ham and toss well. 5. Season the egg lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper and pour over the potato mixture. 6. Scatter over the cheese and sprinkle on a little more black pepper. 7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden and set. 8. Divide between 4 plates to serve.

the Age of Iron From about 800 BC Britain entered the Iron Age – a period which ended in AD 43 when the Legions of Rome invaded these shores..

Evidence of Iron Age occupation is scattered right across the Peak District, with areas showing continuous occupation from the Bronze Age onwards.
on top of them. None of the skeletons show signs of trauma on their bones and it is assumed soft tissue injury (perhaps having their throats cut) was the cause of death.
Although we’d like to imagine our ancient ancestors living peaceful bucolic lives, in tune with nature, farming the land and getting on with the neighbours; recent evidence is proving that actually there was a good deal of violence around!
The bones of the adult and teenagers do show evidence of what is known as interrupted growth as a result of dietary stress and anaemia - possibly from a period of famine. Interestingly at around this period, the climate of the British Isles which had up until then been relatively warm and dry, became wetter and cooler. This change would have undoubtedly resulted in crop failures and thus famine conditions.
Early in the Iron Age it would appear that family groups lived on the equivalent of a small holding, perhaps with a couple of roundhouses (single roomed dwellings with a central fireplace, made from wattle and daub with a thatch roof). They would grow crops like spelt wheat, oats and barley, forage for fruit and berries and kept livestock like pigs, goats, sheep and cows. We would term this a subsistence living – they produced enough to feed themselves with a little surplus to trade. Later in the period we see people moving into hill forts – a fortified enclosure on high ground. In the Peak District we have two examples of such forts, at Mam Tor near Castleton and Fin Cop at Monsal Dale. Fin Cop seems to have been created in a hurry – probably in response to some threat, and indeed it’s the recent discovery of a number of skeletons in the ditch surrounding the fort that is leading archaeologist to reassess the ‘peaceful’ existence we once imagined. The skeletons so far found are those of women and children. Having been thrown into the ditch, stones from what was presumably a defensive wall were pushed
Perhaps the inhabitants of Fin Cop were ‘executed’ by invaders from other tribes, keen to take either their land or stored crops? When they weren’t fighting neighbouring groups, our ancestors would have had to work hard to support themselves and their families…they were people just like us, simply trying to survive. We know (from later Roman records) that both men and women wore close fitting woollen trousers, with long tunics of wool or linen worn belted and topped by woollen cloaks held at the shoulder by a broach or pin. The clothes were died bright colours, woven in plaids and stripes and the men had full beards. Next month – the Romans are coming! These articles are researched and written by Laura Billingham, a local content writer and author. Laura moved the Peak District several years ago to pursue her passion for writing.

Book Review
Richard Powers – The Overstory
A 600-page novel about trees – and nine people whose lives are intertwined with them – would seem an odd subject for rave reviews. But The Overstory, by American writer Richard Powers, is a stunner. It’s one of those rare books that changes the way you look at things around you and at a time when we are getting increasingly nervous about climate change, it’s right on the button. There’s mind boggling stuff, born out by scientific fact – that trees communicate, that they take care of each other, that they sense the presence of other nearby life and react to it, that they save resources in times of stress and warn their kin and send out signals to wasps to come and save them from attacks. They produce oxygen. They consume carbon dioxide, they’re at the heart of the things that make our planet work. And yet humans, the “superior” species, cuts them down, clears vast areas of forest to produce palm oil or for economic and housing development or even concretes over them to provide parking space - completely ignoring the affect this will have. But this isn’t simply a story for ecologists. It’s a tale told through people’s lives. It’s beautiful and brilliant and mind-opening, thoughtful and heart-breaking and it wears its encyclopaedic knowledge lightly, so it whizzes along. You can’t be bored by it. And despite the part that humankind plays in the plot, it is wonderfully generous to our flawed species, our foibles, but also our ability to be so much more. If you’re going to read one book this year, this is the one.

A Derbyshire English Teacher’s Story... “I am a local GCSE English teacher. I have to tell you about Sophie who sat her GCSE Language and Literature exams last summer 2019. Sophie lacked confidence, was frustrated and confused. She was routinely getting 2s and 3s for her work but I always felt that Sophie was far better than she believed.” Sophie’s mum took her along to Kip McGrath for an assessment in September 2018 and they began work. “Sophie soon began to feel comfortable and to have a go at things she had been avoiding. Steadily her work improved. By Easter she was improving dramatically. It was lovely to see Sophie full of optimism as she went in to sit her GCSE exams in June.
And the final result?... Sophie thrilled us all by achieving a grade 5 in BOTH English Language and Literature!” Sophie’s mum said “It was rewarding to work with the team at Kip and see the difference we made together.” Well done Sophie! Does this situation sound familiar? Why not bring your child along to Jo at Kip for a FREE assessment and let them be the best at school that they can be. Call Jo on 01629 56611 or 01246 220224 for your child’s FREE assessment NOW!
Build a brighter future for your child Kip McGrath’s qualified teachers create individual tutoring programmes for your child, using proven Kip McGrath methods of tuition.

Gardener’s Calendar
It may not be a very inviting idea, but turning over the soil in plant or veg beds while it’s still cold is a good plan. It exposes pests to frosts and birds and other predators and also helps kill off the roots of weeds. And just think of the exercise! You can start mulching, particularly where bulbs are growing, but do try to remove weeds first otherwise you are simply providing a better growing environment for them.

ROADSWEEPING
If you want to get a head start on preparing your soil for veg growing you can warm up the soil by covering rows with fleece or polythene or individual cloches.
r
Indoors, if you have either a warm greenhouse or windowsill you can plant seeds of early starters such as pelargoniums or begonias. They take about two weeks to germinate so will be emerging around the time light levels start to improve.
ESTABLISHED OVER 25 YEARS
Fruit trees and canes can be planted now if the soil is not frozen, and this is your last chance to winter prune apples, pears and citrus trees. Prune newly planted raspberry canes back to twelve inches.

TOP TIP!
If you’re buying compost for growing seeds, get seed compost rather than an all-purpose version. It will contain the right nutrients and should be fine tilth and promote good drainage.

In the Peak Mid Winter…
The carol goes ‘frosty winds made moan’ and certainly in the heart of the Peak District in the middle of winter that is truly the case. Sometimes recently we get periods of mild winter ‘unseasonal’ weather, but even so, and at night-time especially, it can get very cold indeed. This can be a challenging time for local wildlife and across the region local Winter Redwing at Chatsworth folk help out with birdfeeders and the like. Growing berry-bushes for wild berries can also help provide free bird-food. Small mammals like field mice also need winter-time berry supplements. For those who watch out for local wildlife this is also an exciting time as the birds that remain with us winterlong are joined by flocks migrating to us mostly from the far north and the east where temperatures Froggatt have long-since plummeted. Thrushes such as European blackbirds, redwings, and fieldfares arrive in good numbers and there may be the stunning waxwings too. Local reservoirs may build-up large flocks of seagulls – mostly lesser black-backed, blackheaded, and herring gulls, but with less common species too which in winter may include the pure
white Iceland gull and the similar but massive glaucous gull. Also on the reservoirs it is worth watching out for rare grebes from Scandinavia and uncommon ducks such as the beautiful goldeneye. Today these may be joined by increasing numbers of the exotic, non-native the mandarin duck. Go for a walk along the moorland fringe where the Pheasant Cock oakwoods give way to birch and you will see flocks of delicate lesser redpolls and maybe even the elusive mealy redpoll or arctic redpoll. The latter is almost pure white with bright scarlet markings on its head – a truly delightful little bird. Look and listen too for the siskin which will mingle in with redpoll flocks and is a cousin of the once-familiar but now sadly rather uncommon greenfinch. Close-up, the male siskin looks almost canary-like with bright yellow, green, and black markings. They will come to nut-feeders but love the birch ‘cones’ and their seeds. Similarly along riversides like the River Derwent near Grindleford or Hathersage, both siskin and redpoll feed on abundant alder seed-cones and are joined by lively, churring flocks of long-tailed tits.

Above all, with cold winter weather, this is a great time to see nature up-close as in the countryside the birds and mammals are more approachable. The need to feed and to replenish precious bodyfat reserves combines with shorter day-lengths to make is essential that birds and mammals feed whilst they can and where they can. Enjoy!
