see website for details

Hello readers, So, last month I mentioned my birthday celebrations and wow, wasn’t it an awesome birthday! If you haven’t already, I would recommend trying axe throwing! It’s only a bit scary on occasions (they are pretty sharp and the different throwing techniques saw one of our party take a chunk out of his top!) but a great stress reliever and shed loads of fun for people of all ages! As a second super treat, I got to visit the Sheffield Steelers Ice Hockey Team. Now, I hadn’t even been to Ice Hockey at all until last year and now I am a total fan. Again, this is a great day out for all the family and I can’t stress enough how easy this fast paced, high adrenaline, testosterone filled game is to get enthralled and enveloped in, to the point that you can’t wait for the next weeks game so that you can go and enjoy it all over again! I’m hopeful that next season we’re going to work with the Steelers a little closer and be able to offer tickets and all sorts for our fab readers and like I say, it is a prize worth winning!

Speaking of prizes worth winning….(seamless as ever!)….check out this months competition offered to us from our friends at Wheelgate/Twin lakes adventure park. This prize is valid for 3 months, so if you have it in your plans to take the kids/grandkids to this adventure haven during spring bank holiday or at a weekend, you really should enter! This year for us, it is all about new content articles and features. We have already run a ‘High Street’ feature in the Broadmeadows edition for a few months and this month, we have extended it to our Alfreton edition. This is something we are looking to do more of, as it has been so well received. Finally, I think it’s worth a mention that our very own Paul will be duking it out in the ring to raise money for Cancer Research UK for the Ultimate White-Collar Boxing (UWCB) Event at the Roundhouse in Derby in April. He’s training hard and we’ve got his back (quite literally as we are one of his sponsors on his shirt!). He’s going to send us some updates for our FB account and if anyone who knows him wants to • Beginners support him, don’t be shy, it’s for a fantastic cause • Part Trained that has impacted so many people.

‘Me’ – Elton John

Elton John has never claimed to aim for the understated so it’s not too surprising that his autobiography is called Me. He writes that the great thing about rock and roll is that someone like him, a chubby kid from Pinner in Essex named Reg, can be a star. Though to be fair to him, he’s written some brilliantly catchy stuff and as a performer he’s the real deal. And this story has got the lot. From his early days of having his songs rejected while he trailed round northern clubs playing two gigs a night as a pianist in bands that were going nowhere, to gold and platinum albums, friendships with Freddie Mercury, Rod Stewart Princess Di and Versace and bizarrely disco dancing with the Queen. And the memoir is not shy about his equally rackety personal life. Drugs, sex, gossip (the more scurrilous the better). Not for nothing was the film his husband David Furnish made about Elton called tantrums and tiaras. Me is a really funny and sometimes shocking tale. But the thing that stops this just being a parade of rock star memories and excess – and there is plenty of that - is his total brutal honesty about the bad bits of his life, the suicide attempts, the temper, the drug, booze, shopping and food addictions. And how he, just about, managed to survive it all and remain still standing, as the song goes. This isn’t a sanitized version of his life. It’s warts and all, but he emerges as a paid-up human being. Good stuff.

Vintage Rambles a with raf lake and F

6.5 mile circular from Newstead via Newstead Abbey and the Linby trail

We are back with another ‘classic walk’ this month. This walk originally feature in October 2015 but it has remained strong in our memories ever since so we are delighted to be able to feature it again, with many of you seeing it for the first time. The walk makes good use of the Linby Trail and the area around Newstead Abbey to offer beautiful scenery along with a good leg stretch and good terrrain, We were battered by Storm Dennis and previously Storm Ciara in the build-up to the magazine publication so I think we are due some nice spring weather in which to enjoy getting out and about with our furry friends again.

A moderate walk for you and your dog. This medium length walk should take around 2½ - 3 hours. There may be some sections of uneven terrain depending on the weather. There are a couple of road sections, so take plenty of care and make sure you wear appropriate footwear for the conditions.

START: Car park adjacent to the Newstead Centre, Tilford Road, Newstead Village, NG15 0BS 1. Walk back through the car park entrance, turn left and then immediately right to cross over a level crossing. After the level crossing take the first road on the right.

Continue along the road until it bends sharp left. Continue around to the left, pass under a bridge pass by a metal gate and between two stone pillars. Continue straight for some distance and pass between two more stone pillars. Continue straight to eventually pass a pond and waterfall on your left.

When should I contact a Financial Advisor? When many first think of contacting an Independent Financial Advisor (IFA) it’s because a change in their circumstances make it a sensible step, perhaps purchasing a new home or getting married. I’d really recommend reaching out to an IFA as soon as you can.

Mike’us sings M

As Max Bygraves (and if you don’t know who he is/was, ask your grandma) once said...

OMG, BTW, 2nite, TX, LOL, GR8, B4N, BRB, BCNU, TMI etc... than at any time since the Norman Conquest? Be honest, no you didn’t! Well, can you imagine how the youngsters of today would have managed before mobile phones took over the world? In the ‘old days’ - i.e. any time before 1985! - we had to use either landlines or payphones. The former was generally found in a room or hallway with the handset attached by cord to the main unit. This meant that when you made or received a call you had limited freedom and often found your Mum listening in as you tried to impress your boy/girlfriend. Unlike today, you couldn’t just carry on the conversation for another hour in the bathroom. Not only that, you had your Dad in the background muttering, ”Don’t forget that it’s me that pays the bills in this house!” If you needed privacy, you had to put your coat on and go down the street to the nearest phone box. There were however, a number of problems with this option.

Fings Ain’t Wot They Used to Be (Part 1)

Would you have ever thought that seemingly rationale human beings could become so devastated if they thought they had lost their phone? Did you think that the English language would see the introduction of more new words and phrases like

No Problem

Would the box be vacant and even when it was, had it recently been used as a toilet? Would the phone be working? Did you have enough change? Could you remember the number? Besides all that, if there was no-one at the other end, you couldn’t just leave a message and would have to go home before repeating the entire process. Assuming that you had got into the box and had just begun an earnest intimate conversation with the love of your life, you could guarantee that there would soon be a knock on the phone box door. You’d look up to see someone outside. It was invariably a middle aged woman, with headscarf protecting her curlers hopping from one foot to another and mouthing something like “Will you be long? I’ve got to make an urgent appointment with my gynaecologist.”

If you tried to ignore her and turn away, she’d move round the outside of the box and look you in the eye. I defy anyone to continue whispering sweet nothings to whoever is listening at the other end of the line under that sort of pressure. OK, many of us may look back nostalgically on our youth, but I reckon I’ve just reminded you of one way in which our lives have improved in the modern world. Besides, have you ever tried taking a ‘selfie’ from a phone booth? Whilst I’m in a nostalgic mood, there might just be a bit more reminiscing in April.

We should start getting enough warmth into the soil for spring growth to really take off round about now. You can plant summer bulbs such as lilies, gladioli and agapanthus, but remember that most like sun – the results won’t be good if they’re in shade. They should be planted two to three times their depth and at least one bulb’s width apart. ww.first4fascias.co.uk www.first4fascias.co.uk

FIRST 4 FASCIAS FIRST 4 FASCIAS Re-pot pelargoniums and fuchsias which you have overwintered and increase watering but don’t put them directly out into the garden for a couple of months. Top-dress containers by removing the top five centimetres (two inches) of compost and replace with new.

Cut cornus grown for winter colour right back to the base so it will produce again next year and cut buddleia back hard before the sap rises.

Slugs love tender new growth. You can buy nematodes, a parasite which will kill them, from garden centres. They are watered into the soil once the temperature reaches 5°C and are safe to use where there are animals and children. Neither do they harm other forms of wildlife. Use (and empty daily well away from anyone’s garden!) scooped-out orange or grapefruit skins turned upside-down as traps.
