From the Editor

Hello Readers!

Has everyone survived the most miserable month in the calendar?! I feel like every Monday in Jan has an adjective attached to it or at least it should – not sure Blue Monday covers it! Maybe it should be something like:

Pretend Monday – i.e., it’s probably a BH.

Same old Monday – i.e., did we even have a break?

Blue Monday – i.e., most miserable and saddest day of the year.

Skint Monday – i.e., it’s been 6 years since the last payday.

Never ending Monday - i.e., how has this month still got another Monday in it!!

Still, we got through it didn’t we! Just about!!

Speaking of getting through, the most unwelcome Birthday came and went – I tried to do nice things and be positive and whatnot but I’m not a fan! It was only about 20 mins ago when I was a whipper snapper and I used to call people of my age ‘old’. Yet, I’m not quite old enough to forget that this was the case!! I’m also not a ripe cheese or a fine wine! But as my

old Grandma used to say – “it’s better than the alternative!” She weren’t wrong! So, I’ll sulk for a little bit longer about it and then I’ll start getting some Botox and all will be well with the world!

Anyhoo, hard to believe we’re in our 13th year of production but we are all hugely looking forward to helping our local businesses this year and we’ve got some good ideas in the pipeline to try and help – so keep your eyes peeled.

I’m off to put my slippers on – yep, gone are the days of bare feet or just socks #sadtimes.

Happy Reading! x

PANCAKE DAY!

A quick recap for those who aren’t sure why we feel the need to stuff ourselves with pancakes on that day!

Shrove Tuesday is a moveable feast, its date is tied to whenever Easter falls as it is celebrated on the last Tuesday before the 40-day period of Lent begins. Easter itself is the first Sunday after the full Moon that occurs on or after the spring equinox. If the full Moon falls on a Sunday, then Easter is the next Sunday.

Lent, as you may recall, is the six-week period in the run up to Easter when traditionally Christians would fast - avoiding meat, fish, eggs, and fats until Easter Sunday. These days we are more likely to commit to giving up just one thing for the duration of Lent - is this something you do, or would consider doing?

Anyways, back to Pancake Day/Shrove Tuesday, which this year falls on February 21st.

As the story goes, our forebears would cook up a storm on the day before Lent (aka Shrove Tuesday) in order to use up any eggs, milk, and other perishable foodstuffs, before beginning their prolonged fast period.

Quite why pancakes have become synonymous with Shrove Tuesday is somewhat lost on me. I can see that eggs and milk may have needed to be used…but not flour, the other vital ingredient in a pancake batter mix.

I wonder if Yorkshire Pud’s were also consumed on Shrove Tuesday - maybe a first course of meat and gravy in a Yorkshire pudding, followed by pancakes…batter overload.

We may have lost many of the traditions connected with Lent, including that of marking the heads of worshippers with ashes taken after the burning of Palm branches (or crosses made from Palm leaves) from the previous year’s Palm Sunday celebrations, but Pancake Day lives on.

Every household will have their own way of making pancakes.

Some will toss.

Some will flip.

Some organised people will make a stack of pancakes.

Some will operate a one at a time production line.

And some won’t bother making pancakes on Shrove Tuesday at all!

As for what goes on a pancake - well, let’s not open that can of worms and simply say that whatever you want to top your pancakes with is absolutely fine.

Unless it’s chocolate spread, in which case you need to go and have a word with yourself <grin>.

Whatever you do this Pancake Day, it is still worth looking back at some of the older, thriftier ways of cooking. Times when nothing was wasted, leftovers were made into another meal and very little food was thrown away.

In these financially tough times, there are lessons to be learned from the past.

In 1842 John Needham produced a polishing paste for the cutlery and Sheffield Plate industries from his home and premises in Harvest Lane in Sheffield, assisted by his niece, Harriet Needham.

Harriet then met Joseph Pickering, the son of a silversmith and they wed. The couple eventually inherited the business, changing the name to ‘Joseph Pickering late John Needham’ and built the ‘Polish Works’ just around the corner in Mowbray Street from where they operated.

The ‘Polish Works’ were damaged in the Sheffield Flood of 1864 and this gave Joseph the opportunity to start planning the ‘Albyn Works’ on Burton Road – which still exists. In time, the business became Joseph Pickering & Sons, and son John Needham Pickering developed new products, including the famous – ‘Blanco’.

Albyn Works expanded to produce Blanco and employed over 100 workers. By 1875 they had a sickness and benefit club and a row of houses in Percy Street, let to his workers at special rates. Joseph’s sister Hannah married Isaac Truelove and his daughter Mary married Isaac’s brother Arthur Truelove. Arthur provided some of the tin packaging used by Joseph Pickering & Sons and in 1900 Joseph brought together the two companies and they were incorporated as Joseph Pickering & Sons Limited. By this stage Blanco was used through the British Empire in particular by the military to whiten their webbing straps etc.

In Moore Street, a new factory for the production of cartons was built in 1906. Faced with terracotta tiles it was designed by city architect – C & CM Hadfield. For three quarters of a century, ‘Blanco’ was the companies’ major product, sold to the Military in over sixty countries. The changes to Kharki after 1900 gave the company another product and then the new RAF created in 1918 a further type of ‘Blanco’ as they were using a blue colour! However, with the end of conscription production of Blanco and other polish products ended and the cardboard box business become their lifeline.

The business was finally sold by the Pickering family in 2005. By 2009 the business failed and finally closed.

Vintage Rambles with rafaand Flake

We first featured this walk back in 2019. I’ve had it in my mind to redo this walk as it is such a good walk for this time of year. The wet and wild weather can make walking your dog an extreme sport!

This walk makes use of some good paths before returning on the Trans Pennine Trail. Having said this, we appear to have picked the wettest and hence muddiest day we could find! The boys loved it, well apart from the bath when we got them home!

4.5 MILE CIRCULAR WALK FROM RENISHAW VIA THE TRANS PENNINE TRAIL

A gentle walk which should take you and your dog around 2 – 2.5 hours to complete. There is one road to cross so please take care, however most of the walk is on paths and trails. Please wear appropriate footwear, especially if it has been wet! And, as always, follow the countryside code.

START: TRANS PENNINE TRAIL CAR PARK, ADJACENT TO SITWELL ARMS, 39 STATION ROAD, RENISHAW. SHEFFIELD. S21 3WF

1. With your back to the car park entrance, walk straight ahead to pass by a large metal gate to a finger board sign. Turn right to ‘Chesterfield’. Follow the path going uphill, then just prior to going under a bridge, turn left along a footpath, with houses over to your right.

2. Follow the path for some distance passing beneath a footbridge then continue with a fence and a pond on your left and houses over to your right. After some distance, when the houses on your right end, continue straight ahead through some trees until reaching a road. Cross the road and continue ahead along a marked footpath.

20 Don’t forget to mention Voice Magazines when responding to the Ads

3. After some distance pass through a gap and down a slope onto a trail. Passing a bench seat on your left cross straight over the trail, pass through a gap and bear around to the right along a footpath. After a short distance the path joins with a lane going uphill for a short distance and then turn right onto a path marked for ‘Westhorpe Hills’.

9. When the fence ends the path gives way to a lane. Continue for a short distance, then just prior to reaching an incline in the lane look for 2 paths on the left. Ignore the 1st path going steep downhill and take the 2nd path which bears to the left but stays at the same level.

10. Walk along this path with a bank on your right and the odd glimpse of the Pennine Trail running parallel down to your left. After some distance pass a large metal gate on your left. and shortly you will come to a road. Follow a sign for ‘Trans Pennine Way’ going downhill along the road.

4. After a very short distance, cross a footbridge and keep ahead going gently uphill. After a short distance pass by a pylon on your right before turning left onto a lane. Now continue with a hedge on your right. Shortly, the lane begins to drop gently downhill. At the bottom continue through some trees to cross over a stream.

5. Now continue uphill with a hedge on your left and after a short distance bear right away from the hedge to cross an open field. At the far side pass through a gap and continue with a hedge on your left. When the hedge on the left ends keep ahead to cross an open field.

6. At the far side continue onto a lane. Follow the lane around to the left and then uphill. At the top of the hill ignore a path on the right and continue straight ahead to follow a sign for ‘Trans Pennine Way N’. After a short distance pass through a gap and onto a tarmac lane.

7. Turn left, cross a bridge and then in a short distance, after a building on your right, turn right onto a footpath. After a short distance stay to the right of a metal gate to continue along the path going downhill with a fence on your left. At the bottom and before reaching a metal width restrictor, turn right, to cross a stile onto a footpath marked ‘Cuckoo Way’.

8. Continue along the footpath with ponds on your right. Pass over a crossroads of paths and keep ahead with the ponds on your right for some distance. When the ponds end continue with a fence on your right.

11. After a short distance turn left onto a footpath signposted for ‘Killamarsh Greenway’ and Trans Pennine Way’. Pass through a metal width restrictor, cross over a bridge and then immediately after the bridge turn left onto a lane. After a short distance bear left off the lane to continue downhill along a footpath.

12. At the bottom of the hill pass a width restrictor on your left and continue straight ahead to join the Pennine Trail heading in the direction signposted for ‘Chesterfield’. Continue along the trail for 1.8miles, until reaching the car park and starting point.

This walk is for illustrative purposes only. Voice Magazines Ltd takes no responsibility for anyone who chooses to follow this route and encourages all walkers to obey all byelaws and signs and to respect the area they are walking in, ensuring they pick up all dog mess and obey the countryside code at all times.

VOYAGE FOR THE COMMANDER

Commander George Chaworth-Musters

1841 - 1879 is remembered in Annesley, not just as a son of the Hall and Estate, but an explorer and traveler. His memorial in the Old Churchyard at the side of Annesley Hall is so unusual, telling of some of his life at sea.

John George Musters and his wife Emily were touring Italy when George was born, making him a grandson of John (Jack) and Mary Ann Chaworth-Musters. An aunt, Mary Anne Musters had wed Anthony Hamond of Norwich, which led to the move of the Annesley Children to Norfolk for some years after the death of their parents. They came back to Annesley in 1850 and developed the Hall and the Estate for the family’s future.

A love of travel and exploration was first introduced when older brother John went with George and their guardian in 1850 to Spain, both Musters boys wrote daily diaries. At age 15 in 1854 he was in the area of the Crimean War on HMS Algiers, changing to other ships, HMS Gorgon, Chesapeake, and Marlborough in the later years. By 1862 George was in South America until 1866. By 1869 he was, at the age of 28, a Commander.

Family funds enabled him to take time out of the Navy and buy land at Montevideo for a new venture in sheep farming. It failed and he came back to Annesley to prepare for more travels in the lands he enjoyed.

Meetings with the chief of Tehuelche Tribe of Indians, George’s plans to explore came into

being and it resulted in the book ‘At Home with the Patagonians’, the Royal Geographical Society being very impressed with his journey and the routes investigated. Before long, George tried a similar journey from Vancouver Island, into the interior of British Columbia with the Indigenous peoples of British Columbia. This was not successful and George had to flee from the situation. During his return journey he met a merchant from Bolivia called Williams, he was to become his father-in-law as his daughter Herminia wed him in 1873. There were 3 daughters born to the couple, arrangements were made for them to return to Bolivia as a new political role for George as British Consul to Mozambique was made in 1879. Unfortunately, a short illness in London caused his death, and he was buried at Annesley, his family returned to South America.

When the Hall held its Auction in 1973 the Portrait of Commander George was purchased by Patricius Chaworth-Musters living in Vancouver. His son, Bob Chaworth-Musters traveled George’s journey through Patagonia a few years ago and recreated it on a blog.

The Musters, by Patrick T A Musters, is a valuable source of the family information.

Book Review

Kindred by Octavia E Butler can be classed as science fiction. But like Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale it explores big ideas in a brilliantly clear and riveting piece of fantasy.

If the idea of reading about time travelling puts you off, don’t let it. The main character, Dana, travels backwards and forwards between 1970s California and the American south in the early 1800s.

But this tale doesn’t feel like normal sci fi – more a way of comparing the two periods. What seems right and accepted at one time is shocking seen through modern eyes.

This is powerful and sometimes very graphic stuff. But it’s not simple good guy, bad guy and the complex human understanding is what makes this such a good read.

And it certainly is readable. Once you’re past the first few pages, it’s almost unputdownable. It’s not a new book, but it’s easily available in paperback and it is one that’s very relevant in these times of All Lives Matter.

WELCOME

THE TEAM LEE

After leaving British Army in 2022 having served 14 years with the Royal Signals I decided it was time for a change. I wanted to still live by the values and standards I had been driven by throughout my time serving. I always wanted to pursue a career that was practical and hands on and after spending some time searching and attending a few career fairs, I came across Deluxe Window Cleaning.

I wanted to be my own boss, work outdoors and get to meet new people along the way. I sat down and spoke to Andy the franchisor of Deluxe Window Cleaning and realised the business really appealed to me. I quickly realised that this suited me and soon enough I made the leap to become part of a great brand. This new journey wasn’t going to be easy, and the change of role and pace would be completely different to what I had been used to, but I was ready for the challenge. So, I threw myself straight in and from the second I got involved, I realised that this was the right decision.

I am now in control of my day to day life and being able to work my family time around a job that allows me to do so has been a great success.

Building up custom and getting my name out there, “the new kid on the block” meant I needed to spend time promoting myself to the local community and wider areas including local businesses.

I am loyal both to the job and my customers, I have the upmost respect for the job and those that have entrusted me with their homes and I have high levels of discipline both

for myself and when out working.

Humans are natural team players, we all seek the company of others and like to share our experiences, I find that I do this day in and day out with the custom I have built up so far. I get to see the same faces on my rounds but also give them that personable touch. My values are more than just words I live by them both in everything I do, in the way I behave and conduct myself to the highest standards.

I am very much looking forward to meeting new customers to whom will receive a very reliable, friendly and professional service.

Amazing Turkey-tail fungus in our local woods

A long hot, dry summer has led onwards to a cool and often very wet autumn and winter. This means good times for fungi which have appeared in many places and in a diversity of colours, forms and habitats. When we talk of fungi most people immediately think of typical mushroom-like structures which we see in fields, roadsides, and woodlands across the region. Of course, these mushrooms are merely the fruiting bodies whereas the ‘business’ part of the fungus is made up extensive hyphae that run throughout the soil or perhaps in the deadwood of tree-trunks, stumps, and branches. Indeed, these latter habitats of deadwood, either fallen on the ground or still on the tree, can be rich sites for a variety of fungi. These fungal colonies thrive during periods of cold and drought for example, which kill off most ‘mushrooms’, and furthermore they are often overlooked.

This year, plenty of damp weather and often quite mild temperatures in recent months mean some of our fungi have done remarkably well. When you walk in woods, parks, or along the moorland fringe, you will find tree stumps and rotting trunks covered in fungal fruiting bodies. Even in your own back garden, the autumn and winter can trigger massive growths of fungal bodies. A particularly distinctive species is the Basidiomycete fungus, called the ‘Turkey Tail’ or, to give it the scientific name, Trametes versicolor (formerly Coriolus versicolor or Polyporus versicolor). The upper fungal cap has concentric zones of different colours with the margin always the lightest and nearly pure white. The name ‘versicolor’ means many coloured and overall, this fungus looks like an American turkey’s tail. There is more to this fungus than

meets the eye, and having been used in China for its medical properties for over two thousand years, it is presently under investigation for its potentially useful properties. This common and widespread fungus has a global distribution and is especially stunning when at its peak of growth. The dramatic looking fungus is used in traditional Chinese medicine to help with health issues. Similar but unrelated fungi include False Turkey Tail or Golden Curtain Crust (Stereum ostrea), and Gilled Polypore, Birch Mazegill or Multicolour Gill Polypore (Trametes betulina).

Uses vary from being a general health improving tonic, to treating cancer, and boosting the body’s immune systems. As a drug it is taken as pills or powders in various dietary supplements and contains powerful antioxidants. Research suggests extracts of the fungus have immuno-stimulant and antitumour properties. There is a polysaccharide-K (PSK), as a proprietary product based on Turkeytail, and developed for cancer treatment in Japan. Some Coriolus extracts such as polysaccharidepeptide (PSP) and VPS are available as dietary supplements. It seems the extracts are ‘biological response modifiers’ boosting the body’s immune system, and slowing growth and reproduction of tumour cells. They may also reduce side-effects of chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Clinical use of extracts is being investigated, but whilst available for Chinese medicine, they are not yet fully licenced for other medical usage. Amazing stuff, but of course don’t try it at home.

Gardener’s Calendar

Snowdrops should be making

welcome appearance round about now....

but if you want to bulk up next year’s display, you can lift and divide this year’s clumps while they are still “in the green” – meaning you don’t have to wait for the leafy part of the plant to die back. Just lift the clump out of the ground, divide into several little clumps and plant with the white part of the stem under the soil and the leaves and flowers above. The advantage of doing this now is that you can see where the spaces you want to fill are!

The bright yellow of the Mahonia bush is beautiful during the winter, but it should be pruned once it has finished flowering. Take the flower spears out and prune out any long shoots. It’s also a good time to lightly trim winter heathers, but make sure you don’t cut back into old wood.

Top Tip:

Grey mould can be a problem in greenhouses this time of year. Cold and damp is the cause, the worst being damp which is why you shouldn’t start watering again unless the soil in your overwintered pots is properly dry. On warmer days open windows and doors to allow fresh air to circulate. If you do get mould, take off the affected leaves and if it is bad, remove the plant from the greenhouse to avoid the rot spreading.
