Halloween & Bonfire night is going to be a bit different this year!

As I write, it seems awfully likely (as I think everyone predicted), that this virus will kick in again during the coming winter months.

Irrespective of anyone’s views, in one way or another, this will affect a lot of people’s lives – be it health (both mentally and physically), income/ job losses, families and issues that many of us will never understand. 2020 has already been a tough road and it’s still pretty rocky.

If we do go missing for a month or so, you know why! But, we’ve popped a nice little walk in, some puzzles and articles to keep you going.

Until the next time, Stay safe,

Emily x

P.S. Don’t forget to mention the ‘Voice’ when you use any of the companies in this magazine

What we do know though is that the clocks will still go back on the 25th October, the world will keep turning, the sun will rise every day and seasons will pass. We all have to stay positive and safe, because what’s the alternative?!

It got me thinking this month, this majorly overly used phrase - ‘the new normal?’ Everyone is using it (me included) but consider what your ‘new normal’ looks like? Take some time to consider what ‘normal’ is for you and what you are in such a rush to get back to? Maybe we should take this opportunity to find a ‘better’ normal in future.

LEARN WITH HANNAH

For as long as we can and for as long as it is safe to do so, we will bring you your monthly magazines. As I’ve said before, all the lovely people inside need your help to keep their businesses going throughout this rocky year and we need those fabulous businesses to keep our business going….almost every business we have spoken with has adopted coronavirus measures to their businesses to allow them to still be able to trade – so please keep them going.

A Will is not enough: Why you should make your LASTING POWERS OF ATTORNEY now…

Hopefully we all know the importance of making a suitable Will… it shows you care enough about what happens to your assets once you’ve died. But… shouldn’t you care just as much about keeping your assets and yourself safe while you are alive? If you are unable to manage your own affairs… a Will is not enough. The legal documents you need in place are called “Lasting Powers of Attorney”. They allow the people YOU choose now rather than someone appointed by the Court of Protection to deal with decisions in two key areas: your Property/Financial affairs and your Health/Welfare matters.

There may come a time in your life when you are unable to manage your financial affairs or personal welfare, owing to some form of incapacity and you will need someone to act on your behalf. Even when we are young, we can find ourselves incapacitated owing to illness or injury and it can be invaluable having a trusted, reliable person who is able to manage your personal affairs and remove the anxiety of having unpaid bills, at a time when you most need peace of mind.

Similarly, as we get older, the need for attorneys increases as we are more prone to illness and injuries. Sadly, sometimes people fall into the trap of thinking “I’ll get something sorted when I start feeling a bit iffy”… but an unexpected stroke, accident or illness can take anyone by surprise, regardless of their age or health.

Only by creating Lasting Powers of Attorney now ensures that if the worst were to happen, you can rest assured that both your financial affairs and personal welfare are in safe hands.

It’s vital to understand that you cannot make a Lasting Power of Attorney once you’ve lost capacity – by then its too late and your family will face a lengthy and expensive court process to be able to deal with your affairs.

•

Loss of mobility or illness can make it difficult to manage your affairs.

•

The prospect of unpaid bills can cause unnecessary stress and anxiety and delay someone’s recovery.

•

Even the young can encounter problems due to accident or illness.

•

Minor children could be taken into Care whilst Guardians are appointed.

•

An elderly relative losing capacity is difficult enough for loved ones to deal with, without the added worry that finances are becoming muddled.

•

This is information was provided by Haworth WardDrummond, owner of Egg & Nest Ltd. , a provider of professional estate planning services in accordance with the STEP Code of Conduct.

This month it’s Tideswell’s turn in the spotlight. I have a soft spot for this village; it’s the first place my partner and I visited as we looked to live together following years of ‘commuting’ across the Snake Pass. We ended up in Litton – just over the hill, before moving on to Foolow, but Tideswell is still somewhere I visit regularly.

Tideswell; the second largest settlement in the Peak District after Bakewell; has a long history dating to pre-Roman times. There’s some debate about the origins of the name itself. One suggestion relates to a Saxon chieftain called Tidi – presumably the ‘well’ part refers to a water source. The other tells of a well in the settlement which ebbed and flowed like a ‘tide’.

The town is referenced in the Domesday book of 1086, shown as ‘Tidesuelle’, part of William Peverel’s land grant from William The Conqueror. Less than five households are listed at this point in time.

Jump forward to the 13th century and Tideswell has become a prosperous settlement known for lead mining. In 1207 the ‘Manor of Tideswell’ was granted to one Thomas de Lambley (aka Armiger) by King John. A market charter followed a year later. The original grant stipulated the manor should pass to de Lambley’s daughters, Joan and Alice and it was to Joan’s husband; Paulinus Peyvere, Bampton, or Taunton; that a ‘Grant of Fair’ was made in 1251.The Grant of Fair allowed Tideswell to hold five fairs a year, in addition to its regular weekly markets.

The fairs and lead mining activities saw the town grow prosperous and in the 14th century work began to replace a small Norman church with an impressive new building dedicated to St John the Baptist. John Foljambe, a local landowner is thought to have financed the project (a brass bearing his name is inside the church). Building work took place between

1320 and 1400 with a hiatus caused by the effects of the Black Death which swept through the Britain in 1348/49. The church was restored in the late 19th century but is still substantially as it was originally designed, and deserves its nickname ‘Cathedral of the Peaks’.

A grammar school was founded in 1569 by Bishop Robert Pursglove which finally closed in 1927.

By the 19th century, textile production had become the major industry with small factories involved in the hand weaving of silk scarves and handkerchiefs for the Cheshire silk industry. Nearby cotton mills in Litton and Cressbrook became notorious for their poor working conditions and neglectful treatment of the workforce.

Tideswell today may have lost its weekly market and annual fairs but it is still a bustling little town. Surrounded by wonderful countryside, including the beautiful Tideswell Dale, a Derbyshire Wildlife Nature Reserve, it’s a lovely place to both live and visit. An annual ‘well dressing’ still takes place on the Saturday nearest to 24th June followed by ‘wakes week’, with its carnival and parade. Sadly, the events of 2020 saw this tradition broken!

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.

Vintage Rambles a with raFf lake and

This month’s walk is one of our favourites. Unfortunately, the Mill and the Falls at Lumsdale are closed off at the moment as vital preservation work is required.

Despite this most of the footpaths are open and this is still a fantastic walk. I have also left the alternative instructions in for the original walk (Point 7a, in red) so you can keep it for when the falls are open again.

3½ mile circular from Tansley Church Via Lumsdale A moderate walk for you and your dog. Although relatively short this walk has some steep inclines/declines. It should take around 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Be careful on roads and as ever make sure you wear a good pair of boots, particularly if it has been wet.

START: Tansley Holy Trinity Church, Church St, Tansley, DE4 5FH 1.

2.

16

Standing at the roadside, with your back to the church, turn right and follow the road, passing a recreation ground on your right. Continue until you see the Gate pub to the left hand side of the road.

Turn left just in front of the pub and head uphill along a single track road with a stone wall on either side.

Continue straight and over the crest of a hill and down the other side. A short distance after passing a blue sign “unsuitable for goods vehicles” on your right, bear right to pass a stone cottage and then head steep uphill.

3.

When nearing the top of the hill the tarmac road turns into a rough lane. Continue until you see a signposted footpath to your right. Follow the footpath to the right heading uphill and into woodland.

4.

Continue ahead, over a crossing of paths then gently uphill. At a fork in the path bear left. After a short distance the path levels off and has a steep drop to your left. Continue for a short distance until you see a large stone lying just to the left of the path. At this point ignore the path to the right going uphill, instead take the path bearing left and downhill.

5.

This path will take you closer to the edge of the woodland and has a steep bank to the right.

Continue straight until reaching a stone wall on your left and then, keeping the wall on your left, drop gently downhill.

6.

Continue until you reach a river, cross the river via the stepping stones and then turn immediately left long a footpath. Keeping the river on your left continue along the path until reaching a lane. Turn left along the lane and then after a short distance pass a long row of stone cottages.

7.

Immediately after the cottages turn left and then immediate right through a gap in the wall. Keeping a pond on your left continue along a footpath. After the pond, at the barriers, turn right to cross a stone stile, turning left onto a road. Walk ahead, along the road for a short distance, then when the wall ends on the left, turn left downhill on a footpath, past a stone stile. At the bottom of the hill cross a stone stile onto a road. Turn left along the road 7a. (alternative route, when the falls are open) Immediately after the cottages turn left and then immediate right through a gap in the wall. Keeping a pond on your left continue along a footpath. The path begins to descend, twist, turn and thread its way through the remains of the Mill. Keeping the river and waterfall on your left continue downhill until passing through a gap and turn left onto a road

8.

After a short distance after passing the car park/ layby and then at the end of a tall stone wall on your right. Turn sharp right onto a footpath. The path crosses a river. Immediately afterwards turn left onto a footpath heading uphill and into woodland.

9.

After a short distance the path levels out. Continue for some distance keeping the river down to your left. Ignoring a path which bears right towards some houses continue straight and downhill until reaching a T Junction of paths with a large metal fence in front of you.

Book Review

American Dirt is a controversial book, but eye-opening and a shocking and very exciting page turner.

Lydia owns a bookshop in Acapulco. She’s married to an investigative journalist and is living a comfortable middle class life until her husband writes a piece about the local drug lord, a man responsible for deaths and terror, who she also happens to innocently know through a shared love of books.

Lydia and her eight year old son are forced to go on the run to El Norte – the USA - after the rest of her family is killed by the drugs cartel in revenge, and the rest of the story is a headlong heart-in-mouth race to escape their tentacles.They follow the route used by fellow refugees, risking their lives daily by riding The Beast – the dangerous El Bestia freight train - and dodging immigration patrols, to say nothing of the informants in the pay of the drug baron.

It’s controversial largely because it’s written by a white American, Jeanine Cummins, about a South American family and there are those who say, this is a story which should be told by a South American and that it paints a picture of Mexico which many Mexicans would not recognise.

Nevertheless real-life stories of the men, women and children who have taken the El Bestia migration route to safety have been researched and verified and the book may be a novel but it is a testament to the desperation of many who have followed this path.

It really is unputdownable and no matter who has written it, you might agree that it can only lead to some understanding of what migrants face.

Gardener’s Calendar

Bald bits on the lawn can be addressed right now and grass seed is probably the most economical and easiest way of doing it.

Rake over the area to be sown to break up where it has got trodden hard. Put a light layer of compost on top and scatter half in one direction then half in the other. Don’t over seed as this actually makes it harder for the seed to take – there’s always instructions on amount to use on the packet. If you can sow after it has rained that’s best, if not, water gently. Then cover with netting so the birds don’t take advantage.

Leaf mould is compost for free, so long as you’re fairly patient. In any case you shouldn’t leave leaves to rot on the grass as they will make the green stuff slimy. However you can mow them on the grass to help break them up – especially good idea with larger leaves such as sycamore. Rake the resulting mow up and put in bin liners. Moisten if dry, push holes in to allow air to help the rotting process and hide the bags behind something for up to two years.

After a year the resulting partially rotted leaves can be used as mulch or soil improver. After two years it will be totally broken down and brilliant as compost, If you’ve got pine needles keep them separate if you’ve got rhododendrons or azaleas – they’re acidic and good for both.

Lift begonias and dahlias if you live in an area which gets colder winters. You might just get away with mulching in milder areas. Cut stems two inches from the tuber, be careful not to damage the tubers when you lift them. Remove soil carefully and turn upside-down to dry properly. They need to be kept cool and dry so bury in trays of used compost or soil, leaving just the stalks poking out of the top. Store somewhere cool where they will be protected from frost,

r

TOP TIP!

It’s not just humans that want to snuggle up warm in winter. Put a small log pile somewhere hidden at the bottom of the garden to provide shelter for small animals. And leave a few bare hollow stalks in the ground for the insects.

Autumn berries in woods, gardens, & hedgerows Summer’s end sees the last wildflowers and a move to autumn colours, particularly so for trees and shrubs.

As September ushers in darker evenings and autumnal hues across the countryside, local Pyracantha bird populations need high-energy food. This is to prepare for the winter ahead or long-haul migration. During spring and summer, trees, shrubs and climbers provide flowers with nectar and pollen for insects and then rich supplies of berries. These mature at different times from late summer though the autumn. They can be a major supply of bird-food from wild holly and ivy to planted and self-set ‘wild’ cotoneasters and pyracanthas. Autumn provides a free feast for birdlife and for mammals too, with late-flowering ivy attracting plenty of pollinating insects. Especially good are old hedgerows with tangles of hawthorn, blackthorn, holly, bramble, and climbing plants like black bryony, honeysuckle and ivy. Such linear countryside habitats create shelter and connectivity in both rural and urban areas, and especially they provide food. Summerflowering roses produce abundant rose-hips whilst brambles and raspberries, with masses of blooms summer-long, have copious fruit crops taken in the early season glut.

Throughout August and into September, summerbreeding birds such as warblers, like blackcap, garden warbler, and willow warbler have re-fuelled on abundant berries of honeysuckle, blackberry, rowan, and the like. When these birds head off on migration they rest and feed at places along the east coast which have vast quantities of sea buckthorn berries. This same shrub is now commonly planted along roadsides, central reservations on roads, and in urban landscaping schemes such as around car-parks.

Soon, more bird species will arrive in great numbers from Northern Europe. inwardIvy These migrating birds will

include numbers of thrushes like blackbirds, fieldfares, and redwings. By December there may even be exotic-looking waxwings and other winter rarities.

Hawthorn Across open countryside, rowans, whitebeams, and hawthorns are especially favoured; and in gardens too these are magnets for birds throughout autumn. Other ‘fruits’ are also a great draw with oaks providing masses of acorns of which Blackthorne jays especially fond. They either eat them or cache them in secret hiding places.

However, jays sometimes forget where they buried the seeds and that means next year we will have young oak-trees. Essentially, to get woodlands we often don’t need to plant trees as nature will do it for us! Beechmast and especially planted hornbeams are much favoured by finches and their relatives. Seed-cones on birch and alder are eagerly devoured by birds like long-tailed tits, siskins, and redpolls and these trees line the banks of many streams and rivers. In hedgerows and along woodland edges, hazel bushes have nuts ripening and both wood-mice and squirrels will be feasting. Search carefully on the ground and along with nibbled stones and fruits from under hawthorn bushes you can find ‘worked’ hazelnuts if hazel bushes are nearby. These are stashed in little caches where wood-mice have been hiding away.

Good places to look are old drystone walls and around the bases of old, hollow trees and you find evidence of rarely-seen small Honeysuckle mammals.

“S. Anselm’s has exceeded our expectations with the seamless transition into virtual schooling. With a full timetable, live lessons and 1:1 catch-ups, the level of support both my children have received over the past few months has been exceptional and as a result, there has been no gap in our children’s education. When all around us is uncertainty, it is very reassuring to know that in the event we should face a second wave I have complete confidence in the school to adapt and continue to provide an outstanding service.”
