From the Editor Hi Readers, Here we are, three quarters of the way through the year….I’m not even going to tell you how many days until the dreaded ‘C’ word, but it isn’t many and I have no doubt it’ll be upon us before long!! Every year, I have a plan! It starts around now and it involves me getting organised by purchasing some gifts for our loved ones…..and this is where the plan ends until around the 18th December!! I mean, it’s the same time every year! I don’t know what I’m surprised but yet I am doomed to repeat the same mistake like some kind of merry ground hog day! I suppose the only exception was last year as we knew we weren’t going to see some of the family, so what happened there was a ridiculously elongated gift obtaining session! It started around the 18th as usual (remember covid was initially planning to take a Christmas week hiatus!) and then sort of rolled into a cycle of sporadic gift buying – forgot what we bought them – bought more gifts – hunt down Christmas paper – wrapped gifts – can’t remember what they are – buy more presents…until we saw the family in June! Anyway, this year is going to be different!! Honest!!
Perhaps our front covers will help this month with the stress of it! In honour of International doodle day, we’ve changed the material of our front covers so that you can whip out your felt tip pens/crayons/ paints and join in the fun. Laura has written a cracking article on this, see page 15 for details and keep your eyes peeled on our social media where we will be posting some of our attempts and please feel free to share yours!
Happy Reading,
Emily x P.S. Don’t forget to mention the ‘Voice’ when you use any of the companies in this magazine

Sutton Heritage Society 1937 Coronation Celebrations 1937, and the coronation of King George VI and his wife, Queen Elizabeth. Sutton’s Boy Scouts had a hand in building a massive fire consisting among other things, of wood and tyres. The fire was one of a line of beacons lit across the country. The Sutton one being at the top of Coxmoor. The fire was lit by Councillor Todd. A parade went from the central Market Place, led by the Sutton Town Band. It included the British Legion (President Mr G Millership); St John’s Ambulance Brigade; Sutton Nursing Division; Boy Scouts; Girl Guides; Members of Sutton Council; Members of the Coronation Committee. They walked through Low Street, to Forest Street, then on to Alfreton Road (now Lammas Road) and to St Mary’s Church. In keeping with the occasion, Mr C A Wilders, the organist began the service with “I vow to thee my Country”. In the packed church, the service was conducted by Rev Tinsley. This was a united service with Rev Sprittles (St Michaels) and other Clergy also present, H Pritchard (St Modwens); J Gordon, (St Marks); A Glen Smith (Baptist Church); JT Jones (Congregational); JHC Rogers and K Penns (Methodist Church) Most houses had been festooned with bunting and streamers as the locals enjoyed the occasion. The Parish Church and Baths lit the sky with their floodlit outlines. Money was given to both the unemployed and the pensioners. Meanwhile, the Notts Public Assistance Committee distributed between £800 - £900 with each adult receiving 2/6 (121/2p)and each dependent child under 16 getting 1/- (5p).Treats were also arranged for the inmates of institutions who also had a day off work.

Book Review
There are some books which just make you happy – and The Hundred Year Old Man Who Climbed Out Of The Window And Disappeared by Swedish writer Jonas Jonasson – is one of them. It’s not just that it’s funny and fun and clever and loopy. It’s warm, silly and endearingly full of the best of human nuttiness. A brilliantly written antidote to the sometimes grim news outside our windows and a great cure for the glums. Allan Karlsson – he of the hundred years – is sitting in his room in an old people’s home gloomily waiting for his 100th birthday party to begin. The Mayor is going to be there, and the newspapers. But then Allan decides he won’t be. With a sprightliness which belies his years he climbs out of the window, makes his way through the flowerbeds and he’s off for the best adventure ever, involving murders, vodka, criminals, an elephant, and a suitcase full of cash. And some pretty useless policemen. Allan is an old man who has seen it all, and played a significant part, it seems, in many of the big events of the 20th century. Albert Einstein, President Nixon, Stalin – are all bit players in Allan’s extraordinary life. As a lesson in how to grow old disgracefully, this is the pinnacle. You need never fear old age again.

It seems it’s true, there is in fact a day for everything…even doodling, because Friday 3rd September is National Doodle Day - who knew? There is a serious side to National Doodle Day, it was initially dreamt up in 2004 as a way to raise funds and awareness for epilepsy support and research in the UK. Celebrities were encouraged to create a doodle and add their signature with the resulting, ahem, ‘artwork’ sold off via eBay. Do you doodle - now that’s not a question you get asked every day is it? The theory goes that because we tend to doodle almost without knowing we’re doing it, our innermost feelings or demons can be revealed as we let go of consciously thinking and just let the pen or pencil do its thing. You may start of just scribbling on the notepad in front of you whilst you’re on hold to the council / telecom provider / bank (or whatever) only to see a monster with goggly eyes appearing in front of you (this is especially prevalent when waiting in an interminable queue to speak to anyone who says you owe them money!). There are apparently translatable patterns to our scribbles: many of us will doodle hearts, stars, moons, flowers, squares, circles (and other shapes) and these tend to be connected with our basic need for love and security (apparently). Digging down deeper, are there more straight lines (masculine) or curves (feminine)? Straight lines appear more with fact based analytical people, whereas curves and circles show up with those who are more creatively minded. Doodle a house - square, with a pointy roof and uniformly square windows, and you
are probably a very down to earth and practical person with an eye to the material things in life. The pressure of the pen on the paper can also be an indication of someone’s state of mind at the time they made their doodle. Have you ever noticed that when you are feeling irritated or angry you press harder, almost as if you want to rip the paper? I know I have. Feathery light hesitant marks on the other hand can denote uncertainty, even a reluctance to make or take a decision. The next time you are sitting absentmindedly doodling, see if any of what I’ve just written fits your scribblings. Take note of your state of mind, were you happy, annoyed, feeling sad? Do your doodles reflect this? Or are they just random markings on the paper made to pass the time? To find out how to buy the doodles being created this year by celebrities ranging from cricket legend Dickie Bird to Maureen Lipman and Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen, you’ll need to visit https://www.epilepsy. org.uk/doodle-day. Who knows, you could end up with a rather unique piece of art for your wall, whilst at the same time helping support epilepsy research in the UK. These articles are researched and written by Laura Billingham, a local content writer and author. Laura moved to the Peak District several years ago to pursue her passion for writing.

Woman with terminal cancer does epic skydive for charity with her twin sister A woman with terminal cancer has raised almost £2,000 for charity after doing a tandem skydive with her sister. Lyndsey Allen, 35, was diagnosed with neuroendocrine cancer during the first lockdown, after living with months of agonising stomach pain. “Nobody wanted to listen,” she explains about how she tried to explain to doctors over the phone that the pain was “just terrible”. She was mistakenly diagnosed her as having Irritable bowel syndrome, then gall stones, before the agonising pain compelled her to take herself to hospital. A scan revealed that Lyndsey had 18 cm tumours in her abdomen and neck. She began chemotherapy almost immediately. “I was in a such a weak state at this stage,” she says. “I fell ill with sepsis and almost died. The hardest part was having to battle this alone as my family weren’t able to visit me in hospital. But I was determined to keep going.” “I was very down to begin with,” she explains. “But I figured, I just had to get on with life. And the NHS staff who’ve been supporting me have been incredible.”
Lyndsey has found the help she’s received at John Eastwood Hospice has helped keep her strong. She is taking part in a drugs trial for fatigue and is also given complementary therapy. Lyndsey says she’s always embraced the conviction of ‘Do what you want to do,’ and has never allowed fear to stop her from following her dreams. It was this attitude which made her decide to do a skydive to celebrate her thirty fifth birthday. “I’m of the opinion that we need to give back to people who’ve given to us,” she adds. “So seeing how much money has been raised so far for the charities we care about – John Eastwood Hospice and MacMillan Cancer Support - is great.”

NEW FUNDING PROVIDES FREE QUALIFICATIONS FOR ADULT LEARNERS With the government continuing to offer more opportunities to retrain or upskill for free, now is the time to change your future. With busy lifestyles and the worry that new qualifications are expensive, the idea of pursuing new ventures or make a lifelong dream become a reality is always left to the side for many adults. But now with adult education high on the agenda for 2021 and beyond, there are many ways for anyone aged 19 and above to step back into education. Bringing these opportunities to the local community, Vision West Nottinghamshire College is running a wide range of courses that are dedicated to helping adults back into training after the pandemic. Offering both funded and part-funded training qualifications in areas such as healthcare, engineering, education and more, they are supporting both employed and unemployed adults back into the workplace or into a new career. As a more flexible alternative, they are also offering free online courses ranging across key sectors such as business, childcare and health and social care; all of which result in a qualification equivalent to a GCSE or O-level. So if you have recently thought about making a change to your career, now is the time to make anything possible.

SUTTON-IN-ASHFEILD HIGH STREET MAP
Shipley Park might just be Rafa’s favourite place in the world. So he was delighted when David Robinson, who walks here often, offered to write up this fabulous walk for the magazine. Thank you David! The park is lovely, with a great variety of scenery, sights and countryside and this walk takes you on a well thought out route. Rafa loved the walk, as did Flake, and they gave it a big ‘paws up’! 3 mile walk around Shipley Country Park
An easy walk for you and your dog. It shouldn’t take any more than 1 1/2 hours, but there are pleasant stops along the way. Most of the route is hard a track, but a good pair of walking boots are recommended.
Start: Village Lane,The Field near Shipley Country Park, DE75 7JH gate to walk uphill. As you level off, you pass through another barrier gate with a splendid Mock Tudor Mansion on your right. As you descend down the slope there are nice views to your left.
1.
Take the A6007 out of Heanor along the Ilkeston Road. As you drive out of Marlpool you come to the Shipley Garden Centre. Only thirty yards after, turn right onto a country lane which takes you into The Field Village.
2.
Park anywhere along the lane, avoiding blocking any driveway. It’s best during the week as weekends can be busy. Walk about 100 yards past the old red telephone box, then turn right onto a tarmac path. Walk another 200 yards until you come to a bridge with Osbornes Pond on your left. Take the wooden walkway to your left down to the pond’s edge. Walk to the road and turn right.
3.
Carry on up the road and before you get to Derby Lodge, turn right onto Bell Lane. Walk down the lane ignoring any paths to your right. Eventually, after 300 yards, after 7. a 30 sign, turn left onto a clear gravel track with a wooden gate. Keep ahead and the path descends with a wooden gate right into a woodland glade.
4.
5.
When you walk out of the wooded area, keep on the track ignoring the narrower path on your right. Soon you will see Mapperley Reservoir on your right. A few yards later, there’s a wide expanse of greenery where you can relax for a while on the many benches and tables available. You can also look at the reservoir by its bankside.
6.
8.
You now come to Derby Lodge again. Here is a café with seated area and toilets. Do remember, however they are closed in winter and late autumn. Immediately, turn right after the lodge and gently rise uphill. After a few yards, you can if you wish, take the right driveway, and visit the site of The Old Shipley Hall. Here there are plaques which tell you of the Miller Mundy Family who lived there from the 1800’s. Also admire the water tower to your right which is now residential. There’s ample space to relax here and take in the tranquillity of the area. Come back onto the track and turn right. After 150 yards they split. Take the left path to walk through the gate and descend down a wooded glade. As you drop down, on your right was the site of the American Adventure Theme Park. It will soon be a new housing estate. Again, you enter a wooded area and pass through a gate. The left driveway takes you to the picturesque Shipley Cricket Club and is well worth a five-minute visit. Come back and carry on left uphill and back into the village to your car.
If you do take a break, come back to the track, and carry on right. At the end, turn left and immediately through a barrier This walk is for illustrative purposes only.

Local lad shines at first
Olympic Games!
Over the next two editions we’re excited to share an interview with Jacob Whittle, the 16 year old swimmer from Alfreton who became the youngest swimmer ever to make the British Olympic team. This month we look at how he began his swimming career.
Did you always love the water? Yes I did - my mum first took me to a mother and toddler session when I was maybe 1 year old and we went together every week. As soon as I was old enough my parents signed me up in a learn to swim programme - they aren’t swimmers but wanted me to learn to swim and not to be afraid of the water.
How old were you when you first learned to swim? I was 3 years old, possibly younger, I just transitioned from the mother and toddler water rhymes sessions where me and my mum were in the water together singing nursery rhymes. I went every week to learn to swim sessions on a Saturday at Water Meadows, Mansfield.
When did you realise you had the ability to swim competitively? I joined Ripley Amateur Swimming Club & Life-Saving (RASCALS) when I was 8 or 9, but I was 10 before I attended my first swimming competition. Derbyshire County Championships was my first major competition, and I didn’t make a final but the following year at the same competition I pretty much won every event I swam. At that age I was swimming all strokes and distances. I competed at the Regional Championships (East Midlands) and came away with a handful of gold medals, and I was given the opportunity to supplement my training at RASCALS by joining Dervenio Excel on a part time basis, moving to full time 6 months later as part of their national squad. From the age of 12 I was selected each year to be part of the talent programmes for Swim England. In 2019 at the age of 14, I qualified for the British Swimming Championships and whilst there I swam a huge lifetime best breaking the British record for aged 14 in 100m Freestyle. As a result of this competition I was selected for the European Junior Championships and European Youth Olympic Festival. Later that year I was selected onto British Swimming’s Podium Potential Programme.
How many hours a day do you train? Usually it is 4hrs per day in the pool and then I also do gym and circuit sessions a few times a week too.
Do you eat a special diet? No, but I eat a balanced healthy diet, with lots of greens, lots of food rich in iron, fish, chicken, plenty of carbs, lots of fruit, milk and I also drink lots of water. At the end of the day I am a teenager and my parents have always allowed me to eat like a teenager in moderation, which means I will have treats sometimes! Next month, Jacob tells us about his Olympic experience.

Gardener’s Calendar Once your raspberry and blackberry brambles have fruited, take old canes back to soil level. On new canes take them to about four feet so side growth will be stimulated next year. Gloves needed! Planting shrubs and moving small trees now gives them a head start for next spring and you’re not so likely to need to worry about frosts just yet. Time to put in your spring bulbs. Daffs, and crocuses can go in before the end of September, alliums and crocosmia which flower next summer can be planted in September or October. Leave the tulips till November for best results.
r
Lots of outside container grown plants such as fuchsias and pelargoniums (geraniums) will quite happily live indoors over the winter, particularly in an unheated conservatory or cool room and will keep producing flowers. Don’t water as much during the winter months and cut back if they start getting leggy, but they can be put out again into the garden next year.
Top Tip Autumn is a good time to prune back hedges, but if you cut them slightly narrower at the top it will allow light to fall on the bottom of the hedge and encourage even growth. 06/11/2018 18:16
