After saying how great it was that Yoga was back last month – Katie B has only gone and decided to have a sabbatical from teaching for an extended period – for all the right reasons, but what about me! How rude! Still, for our last lesson, she left us with all our favourite positions (insert eyeroll!) and serenaded us with an instrumental version of “time to say goodbye” as we were leaving (second eyeroll!) – it was nothing if not dramatic but I will very much miss my stretchy Mondays, Katie and our lovely group! In other great news – it’s 10 years since I delivered the first Amber Valley Voice through the doors of 2,500 homes in Swanwick, Riddings & Leabrooks!!! It was a bit hairy as to whether we would make it to 10 years and this year has been no exception to the long list of curve balls that has been thrown during our time, and like many small businesses it was genuinely touch and go, but we here and we are here we are here to stay! It’s been a bit emosh, this trip down memory lane! Thinking back, I can’t tell you how nervous I was trotting up people’s driveways (with half my family spread out delivering around Broadway!). And you always think the worst – what if they don’t want it, what if they come out and shout at me, what if they think it’s rubbish!! – I look back on that first edition now and we a very critical eye, I think it is rubbish but I can’t say that it didn’t have my heart and soul poured into it and maybe everyone else saw that too? Still, for whatever reason, you wonderful people seemed to get the gist of what I was trying to do and stuck with us – both readers and advertisers alike and here we are, 10 years later – 9 magazines, 48,000 homes, over 60 distributors, 6 wonderful people to work with (7 if you include Liam but he doesn’t really count as I can’t ever get rid of him – well, I could but it’ll be mightily costly!!!) Looking back through the cringe worthy first edition – we’ve still got 3 of our original advertisers in the
magazine; R H Builders, S T Roofing and Seals Fodder Room, which is more than a bit awesome and they’ve become firm friends of mine over the years. We’ve created a bit of a timeline in the centre pages to show you the journey that we’ve been on and we’ll be making mention of this throughout the year as we’re planning a few bits and bobs in relation to our anniversary. Despite this 2020 shaped catastrophe, we are working hard and planning to keep bringing in fresh new looks, interesting new articles and features and new ideas for what we hope to be, at least, the next 10 years. So please raise a glass to our wonderful team who are quite simply phenomenal at what they do, distributors who are wonderful and brave the weather every month to bring you the magazine, all our advertisers – many of whom are truly local and we try and support them as much as they support us, contributors who keep you entertained and of course yourselves – I could not have produced a thing without any of you effectively inviting me into your homes each and every month and it certainly wouldn’t have made it to 10 years. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. See you next month (when normality resumes and much less gushing!),

From the Editor
Sutton Heritage Society
LINDLEY’S MILL Tucked away at the bottom of Prospect Place of High Pavement, Sutton in Ashfield are the remains of a windmill built in 1820 by James Lindley, a local farmer. The stone tower which is the only complete stone windmill tower in Nottinghamshire, has, luckily survived. Housing was built close to the mill in the late Victorian era after this mill had been superseded by Adlington’s sixsail mill at Sutton Junction. This much larger windmill was probably capable of supplying all the flour needed by the people of Sutton in Ashfield.
The mill is owned by Ashfield District Council and is managed and cared for by Sutton Heritage Society. The museum was opened by the Chairman of Ashfield District Council on 23 November 2016. It is opened to visitors during Mills Open Weekend in March and HODs week in September and also by appointment.
Over the years Lindley’s mill became derelict. It lost its sails and cap, the workings were removed but the tower remained. The building was listed Grade 2 in 1974. The proximity of the houses built at the end of the 19th Century precludes the possibility of restoring the mill to full working order. The tower has been fitted with a roof and windows and a museum has been established inside. Visitors are able to view a short video about the mill and milling. The museum contains many interesting artefacts and photographs underlining the importance of flour in everyone’s lives enabling bread to be made – “The Staff of Life”.

MEET THE NEW ESTATE AGENT IN TOWN Turner Chambers Property Services was set up by myself and partner at the start of the year. Having worked in Estate Agencies for over 10years I gained valuable experience in the field and felt that we could provide an excellent service locally at a reasonable price. We are fully regulated and like to reassure people that we are also transparent in what we do. We are family run and local so have a good knowledge of the area enabling us to pass this on to potential buyers or renters moving. Having also overseen property developments and refurbishments I am also able to point out things that can aid in the selling or renting of your property and this is something I am very passionate about. Currently people are asking if now is a good time to sell and the answer is YES. Properties are selling fast and are in high demand. Our landlords are also very important to us and we always ensure that they are kept up to date regarding their properties and any compliance changes. We have very happy tenants and a happy tenant makes a happy landlord which in turn makes a happy Agent. Here are a couple of examples of what people are saying about us: “Turner Chambers have taken over management of our rental portfolio which has been a fantastic decision. Everything is taken care of and nothing is too much trouble. It is great to have peace of mind knowing that everything will be kept up to date with legislation and that any issues can be resolved quickly without the need for us to get involved. We
14
have also recently instructed Turner Chambers to sell our personal home and a renovation project that we have completed. The photos and walk throughs are fantastic quality and really help display the properties in their best light. Which is very helpful during the current Covid climate. I highly recommend using Turner and Chambers especially if you are a landlord who wants to ensure their portfolio is well looked after. Great service, Great communication.” “Couldn’t fault a thing, I dealt with Angie form Turner Chambers, always ready to assist with any queries or chase things up for me, made it all very straight forward, a painless move, especially during a Pandemic. Highly recommend” One of our most valuable services is our in house 3D Tours. We wanted to provide these as they really do help to cut down on not only wasted viewings but also showcase your property to its full potential, this is something we offer to both Sales and Rental properties alike. On a personal note we are all passionate animal lovers and enjoy nothing more than spending time with our pets. Any seller that has a pet in the property can rest assured that they will be taken care of at all times. We hope that you will support us on this journey and would love to hear from you if you have a property to either sell or to rent out as we are happy to offer advice.

Book Review
This month’s book, Girl, Woman, Other by Bernadine Evaristo is definitely a oneoff. Winner of last year’s Booker Prize it’s a novel without a plot but with 12 of the most interesting, cracklingly different and unusual characters you’re likely to meet in a book. First off it’s about women – well women and girls. There are some men in there but they don’t have a particularly big input (or reputation) in the great scheme of things. You don’t usually read about these women in fiction. But in this book they give us a picture, through their eyes, of Britain - mostly, though not exclusively, black Britain - over the past 120 years. Each of the characters has a story – their life. There’s a kind of vague web connecting them but it’s written almost like you’re having a conversation with close friends about stuff. And built into these stories is the exploration of the realities of womanhood in this country. It’s offbeat and different and sometimes eye-opening and punchy but also funny and full of empathy and respect. There’s loads of social issues, including lots of right-up-tothe-minute observation of what’s going on for instance with the politics of gender and identity, but also the emotional nitty gritty of getting by on a daily basis. Clever and interesting and full of hope.

Vintage Rambles a with raFf lake and
We’re back again with another classic from the Rafa’s Rambles archive. There are so many great walks on the Phoenix Greenways but this is a favourite of ours as the dogs get so much free time to get into all sorts of mischief! The walk starts from Tibshelf ponds and heads out on the Silverhill Trail and across to Doe Hill park before circling round and heading back along a different path. A lovely gentle walk that makes use of some lovely local trails.
5 1/2-mile circular walk from Tibshelf Ponds to Doe Hill park A mid-length walk which should take you and your dog around 2 - 2½ hours to complete. The walk is mostly on trails and paths but there are a few short stretches of road so please take care. Please wear appropriate footwear and as always, please follow the countryside code.
START: Tibshelf Ponds Car Park, Sunny Bank, Tibshelf. Derbys. DE55 5PF

1.
Facing the car park entrance take the footpath just to the left of the entrance and then after a very short distance at a T junction of footpaths turn left to continue along a well laid path passing a pond on both sides.
2.
Continue along this path for some distance ignoring all of the paths on the left and right. After some distance pass through a metal width restrictor and then turn right onto the Silver Hill Trail.
3.
Pass by a sign and path to the right for ‘Tibshelf Ponds’ and then a little further on at a fork in the path keep right and continue straight ahead. After a short distance cross over a road bridge and then after some distance pass underneath an arch bridge.
4.
Continue straight ahead for a long distance and then pass through a metal width restrictor to a T junction of paths. Turn right to continue along a lane and after a short distance pass through a gap adjacent to a metal barrier and onto a road.

6.
Cross over the road diagonal left to continue to pass through another gap and onto a tarmac lane. Continue straight ahead along the lane for some distance and then just prior to crossing over a rail bridge turn right to pass through a gap in the hedge. Ignore the path immediately to the right and continue straight ahead towards a signboard on your left. At this point you will reach a fork in the path. Keep to the left and continue along this path for some distance until reaching a T junction of paths.
7.
Turn left at the T junction and then after a very short distance at a fork in the path keep to the right. Continue along this path for some distance until reaching a car park. Pass through the car park and bear around to the left to continue towards the car park entrance. Just prior to reaching the entrance and a height restrictor, turn left onto a footpath.
8.
Continue along this path until reaching a fork in the path. Keep to the right passing a pond on your right and then continue to pass another path on your left. After some distance you will reach an intersection of paths with a path on the left and then a path on the right. Ignore these paths and continue straight ahead going uphill.
9.
Continue along this path twisting a winding uphill and eventually down the other side. After passing a signboard on your right and just prior to passing through a gap in the hedge in front of you, turn left along a footpath to continue with a hedge on your right.

left. Now you will begin to pass houses on your right and a school on your left. Eventually you will come to a T-junction with a road. 13. Turn right along the road going uphill and then after some distance take the 1st turning on the right into ‘Newton Road’. Continue, going downhill for some distance and then take the 1st turning on the left into ‘Shetland Road’. 14. After some distance take the 1st turning on the right into ‘Sunny Bank’. Continue along ‘Sunny Bank’ until the road turns into a lane and continue along the lane until you reach the car park on your left.
10. Continue along this path for some distance and pass by a gap in the hedge on your right. A little further on pass through a gap in the hedge on the right. After passing through the gap turn left, cross over a road and continue to pass through a gap adjacent to a metal barrier and onto a lane. 11. Continue along the lane for a short distance until reaching a large metal gate and tall metal fence on your right. At this point turn left along a bridleway with trees and open fields on your left and trees and a fence on your right. Initially, this path runs parallel with the Silver Hill Trail you were on earlier. 12. Continue for some distance and then eventually the bridleway widens into a lane. After some distance follow the lane as it bears around to the

It has been quite the journey... and looking back, there have been some ups and downs, as well as the positives - new mags, new people new areas and new premises there have also been some gaps where we didn’t have any growth and some really diffcult deadlines to meet. The first edition was the toughest as I was still working somewhere else at the time (although I knew it was coming to an end because it was a fixed term contract). Also, we missed the April 2012 edition because of our wedding overseas.... it was a nightmare to get the March edition out before we flew and then get May sorted as soon as we landed! One of my best moves was a physical one - into my first office in South Normanton in 2012. Things really started to happen from there! Along with every single person who has been (and gone in some cases). They have all brought a part of themselves to The Voice and we will be forever grateful that they were part of the journey that got us this far..... BAKEWELL

Mike’us sings M
When Mike said he was a GOF I half expected to find him dressed in black, looking moody and listening to the Cure. Then I figured out what it stood for… Terry Wogan used to call them TOGs. I suppose it makes sense, after all you tend to get grumpy when you’re tired.
What’s become of us? (Part 3)
I’m not sure exactly when I became a GOF - go on, work it out for yourself! - but it seems a long time ago now. Whatever, my blood seems to be constantly at a temperature only just below boiling point these days. Is it just me, or do others quietly simmer when they experience any of the following:a)
Phantom phone calls. You’re in the kitchen preparing your wife’s tea when the phone rings. She’s obviously unable to answer it as she’s watching Pointless, so you drop everything and dash through before the call goes directly to answerphone. You pick up the receiver and say a breathless “Hello” only to hear either a recorded message or a click, and the phone goes dead.
b)
Ungrateful drivers. You’re in a queue of stationary, nose to tail, traffic heading towards the traffic lights at the end of Alfreton’s High Street. You see a car at the junction of Limes Avenue with the driver desperately trying to turn right to join your queue. When the lights ahead change you patiently wait to allow this car to join the flow of traffic. He (or she!) cuts across, accelerates away and gets through the lights just as they change, leaving you with a face as red as the light ahead of you and time to reflect upon the fact that they never even acknowledged your courtesy.
c)
26
Queue Jumpers. Annoying at the best of times but I reckon it’s worse when in a pub. OK, as I write, this relates to 2020 BC (before coronavirus). In pre Covid 19 days, how frustrating was it to be in the Waggon & Horses,
waiting patiently at the bar for your first drink, when someone who has already had a bellyful of ale appears alongside and gets served before you? NB – I only used ‘Spoons’ as an example for effect and before I get barred I’d like to say that their staff are brilliant!! d)
Cyclists. I don’t want to knock those getting out and about to keep fit. However, I bet I’m not alone when, walking along the Five Pits Trail recently, to nearly jump out of my skin as without warning, a bike suddenly whizzes past. OK bikers, you may no longer need to have a bell on your machine, but it’s surely common courtesy to give some form of advance notice.
Having made a commitment to my wife that after all these years, I’ll change the habits of a lifetime and give up moaning, I promise to be a bit more upbeat next month. In the meantime, whatever your personal view on face coverings, I’m sure, like me, you’ll have laughed at the story of the guy photographed on the train on his way to work. He was wearing a pair of frilly knickers on his face with the leg holes over his ears. What an image, but top marks for inventiveness!
Those of you who enjoy reading Mike’s Musings each month may be interested to hear that his second book was published last month. It’s a sporting memoir, written in his own style, and available from Amazon. If you think this will appeal to you (or someone you know) send Mike an email to mike.musings@outlook.com and he’ll provide details.

While the garden should still be full of flowers, this is also a good time to think about pruning and dividing so the garden stays healthy and bountiful next year. If you haven’t already pruned philadelphus and forsythia, do it now that flowering is completely finished for this year. Cut back to a healthy bud or side-shoot. Where you’ve got bushes which have outgrown their space take some of the oldest stems right back to the base then reduce the rest by a third to a half. Perennials such as hellebores or day lilies which have finished flowering can be lifted and divided. That way you get more plants for next year and existing plants have room to spread and so will produce more flowers. As a rule of thumb big clumpy perennials can be divided by digging down and lifting then prising apart with two forks back to back or even cutting through vertically with a spade. Then replant back in place with the offcut in another spot or even in a pot until you decide where you want it to be. Crocosmia have small corms. To divide dig deep about nine inches to a foot to lift then prise apart clumps rather than individual corms. They like to be crowded, so this is something you can do every few years rather than every year. Whatever you’re dividing, water it in well. Pot up strawberry runners for next year. Also start looking at daffs and narcissi for spring. They can be planted from the end of September on, but leave tulips until November. Wallflowers and winter pansies can also go in now.

TOP TIP!
Leave pea and bean roots in the soil when cutting back after cropping. Just cut to the base of the plant. The roots will release valuable nitrogen into the ground as they breakdown. 06/11/2018 18:16
