Hello readers I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. We had a great time. I’m still enjoying my 50th year. Good friends of ours Peter & Maria live in Shepperton (famous for its film studios) and invited us to stay with them for a few days just before Christmas. Maria also turned 50 last year and to celebrate our half-centuries, they’d bought us tickets to go and see an Adam Ant concert at The Roundhouse in Camden with them. Wow! What a venue and what a gig! To fill the void between Christmas and New Year, we’d booked 3 days in Riga, the capital city of Latvia. Ruth who works with me on this magazine, together with her husband Ed and two other friends Jane and Grant joined us. Well, you could’ve knocked me over with a feather when our transport to East Midlands Airport arrived; Ruth and Ed had arranged a beautiful stretch limo as yet another 50th surprise! Thank you both so much, it was a wonderful start to a wonderful city break. Riga is a beautiful city with plenty to see and do. I’d highly recommend it.

Money Matters: A Winter Tale
As I write this in early New Year 2019, we are not in the grips of winter weather as we sometimes know it. However, we seem to have some winter blues with the investment markets. We have been here before. Since the start of October ‘18, we have seen many investment markets suffer some of the biggest falls in the last 7 years. It’s possible that, by the time you read this, the markets will have recovered or fallen again. Some of our clients are quite sensitive to these changes, others less so. The difference between the clients is usually philosophical and acceptence versus emotional. Currently, America is engaged in a spat with China over trade tariffs, the Federal Reserve is putting up interest rates quicker than was expected (to slow down the gigantic US economy), Europe has political uncertainties and of course Brexit. All of this will happen and pass; the consequences will come and go. Whilst past performance is no guide to future performance most of these events and spats will wash through and we will emerge again and markets will rise. They will also fall again; as sure as eggs is eggs! The key to the survival is having time to invest. Without the necessity of duration, investors can realise real losses should they be thinking of drawing funds from the markets during these adverse conditions. With time and patience – and some nerve – you can emerge unscathed, as we can look back to the global crisis in the markets of 2007/2008 and subsequent recovery.
Why do people invest? Usually it’s because there is a conscious (or subconscious) understanding that, to make your money grow in real terms (i.e. to beat inflation), you must consider investing in some other assets besides cash. It is not to say cash is a bad place, but in real terms over the long term its value is often eroded significantly because of the continuing low rates and rising costs of living. Your pound doesn’t go as far as it did last year, more often than not, as prices rise in most cases. Other assets include (not exclusively), property, equities, GILTS and corporate bonds. Associated with each of these main assets are various risks including market, inflation, taxation, political, sequential, longevity, and legislation risk. Experience shows that another major risk is investor sentiment. When the going gets tough, irrational fear can step in and can make investors pull the plug on assets which are acting in accordance with expectation such as drops in value. Such hasty emotion-driven actions can result in crystallising losses when more patience, time and tolerance could see recovery and healthy returns. So, what happens between the writing of this article and you reading it is unknown. But the world will continue to turn and so will investments. My New Year top tip is to relax and give things time to do what they are supposed to do.

Get Crafty March is national craft month. You don’t need to be a trained artist to participate in getting creative with some craft. The fact is, you can create interesting items from things you might generally discard. My daughter has been collecting items for her robot now for weeks. She has a box full of bits of plastic, cardboard and string. She sees the potential in bits and pieces that would have ordinarily been destined for the bin. The fascinating thing about watching children create is that they don’t necessarily have an end product in mind. They are happy to create in the moment and utilise whatever they can find. The ability to ignore any idea of ‘perfection’ in the end product means that they can simply enjoy the process. I find this difficult when using modelling dough. It is a truth universally acknowledged that the colours will get mixed together. Letting go of this frustration is liberating and you might ultimately find freedom by helping to create that marvellous marbled mess. Don’t become disheartened if others don’t appreciate your creative output. My sister, after admiring a large, intricate embroidery in a craft shop announced: “I’m sure you could copy that in a few hours.” I quickly ushered her off the premises shaking my head in disbelief.
Spend this month inspiring yourself to create. I made this embroidery (pictured) to encourage me to pursue a creative path. Perhaps visit a craft fair, join a craft club or gather some craft items – then get crafting!
By Jessica White
With creativity you can become more mindful. The most relaxed I am, apart from when I’m asleep, is when I am doing something crafty. I become engrossed in the activity and can tune out my constant stream of never-ending thoughts. When you become focused on the end result, you are living in the future. When you remember all those projects you never even started, you are living in the past. Either way, you are disconnected from the beauty of the present moment. I find that through the act of drawing or colouring or sewing I become immersed in the moment. Time itself might even appear to stop. To feel the pen on the paper, to listen to the sound of the sewing machine, to watch the painting develop – that is when I experience peace. Until I stab myself with a needle or my favourite pen runs out… But, that’s when you realise you are still mortal. You can’t have yourself drifting off into hand-crafted enlightenment all the time.

Just a Thought... All the Small Things
look pretty terrific. I may not be Gwyneth Paltrow but I have started eating more vegetables and fruit.
Time really is marching on (see what I did there – March … hilarious …) and for some of us our well made plans for a ‘new year, new me’ may have started to wane a little. Maybe those 10k runs are a little less frequent? Or the ‘salad only’ eating plan has decided that chocolate raisins still count as one of your five a day? (They absolutely do, by the way.) Or life has gotten so busy you’ve resolved to never make another resolution again…! To you, dear readers, I say this: small things. It’s very easy to become overwhelmed by a giant goal or an abstract concept of what we will/should achieve. However, I have decided that I am going to concentrate on all the small things in my life and, when you add them up, things can actually
I may not be Paula Radcliffe but I’m out walking more and getting lots of fresh air. I may not be Superwoman, but I am juggling two children (figuratively, honestly!), one husband, a household and several projects … and I still leave the house in shoes rather than slippers! So please, give yourself a break – you really are doing just fine and actually, when you break it down, the small things in life really are better; which is another excuse to open that box of perfectly sized chocolates and pour a little glass of wine. Hurrah to that!

Travel Etosha National Park, Namibia Mountains, desert or ocean, Namibia is amazing – but did you know it was the first country in the world to include conservation in its constitution? Today, with its national parks alongside game and nature reserves, over 40% of the land is protected, a haven for the wildlife, so varied and abundant. The top viewing area is the Etosha National Park created in 1967 on a former game reserve, across the Kalahari basin up in the north-west. The name means the ‘Great White Place’, referring to a salt pan so large it can be seen from space. It’s a desert in the dry season, a land of mirages and sweeping wind, but during the summer rains it all comes alive as huge flocks of flamingos and other migrating birds return to their seasonal lagoon. Beyond the pan, which covers 23% of the park, the savannah ranges from open grasslands to dwarf shrubs, thorn bushes and trees, most common the acacias and the lovely Mopane whose leaves are shaped like butterflies. Wildlife thrives in all areas but some species have favourite habitats – for instance, elephants like to shelter under the trees; lions, on the other hand, find the perfect camouflage in tall golden grass, so the best way to tick names off your list is to trust the local guides. Sightings are guaranteed, they say, within three minutes of entering the park, though during the wet season, so beautifully lush and green, this may be more difficult. However, the dry season, June to October, is always rewarding, as animals wander across the arid land on their way to the waterholes. Best safari times are early or late in the day – be prepared for the cold – but what matters is not the distance covered but an attitude in tune with
1414
nature: slow down, stop and wait, look around, listen and, for sure, something will happen. So what might you see in such a pristine place rising like a dream out of this world? 113 species of mammals, 350 of birds, 110 of reptiles, amphibians and even fish. Once endangered species, such as elephants, lions, rhinos and the black-faced impalas that can jump 11 metres, are recovering well, but most common are zebras and gambolling springboks. Lucky visitors may spot a lonely leopard, a cheetah with her young or a speeding hyena, but the elegant giraffes and the long-horned creatures are there for all to see, be it a red hartebeest zigzagging away to escape a predator, a solitary greater kudu, an eland – the largest African antelope – or an oryx, the national animal. Then there are the little ones: the rock hyrax, the yellow mongoose, the black-backed jackal, the smallest antelope or dik-dik, and of course the birds: hornbills, plump red bishop, yellow masked weaver, lilac-breasted roller and many more. As the sun sets over the savannah, the gently floodlit waterholes are pure magic as animals approach ever so carefully, waiting patiently for their turn to drink under a starlit sky. By Solange Hando

Pauline Latham OBE MP Firstly, may I take this opportunity of wishing you all a Happy New Year and I hope you’ve had a lovely Christmas. The weeks after Christmas are dark, cold, and after all of the colourful lights on display, it can feel very miserable.

Therefore, in light of the recent launch of the first Government Loneliness strategy, I am hosting an event at Ecclesbourne School which supports the Jo Hosting the British Canoeing reception in Parliament Cox Loneliness Foundation.

And Another Thing... Tom and the Monkey Wrench
I drained my cocoa, turned off the bedside lamp and lay prostrate to await the Sandman’s dusty grip. Judging from the rhythmic breathing emanating from Sarah (My Dearly Beloved), I guessed she might already be far away in the Land of Nod. I was just about to begin my ritual slow motion leg flailing to avoid the cold spot when I heard it. Drip, drip… drip. That blasted pipe under the bathroom sink again. I prayed to the plumbing gods for it to stop. But no matter, Sarah was definitely asleep – or maybe not: “Tom can you hear that? Tom? Tom?” (Shove) “Mmmm…” “Don’t pretend you’re asleep. I told you to get that tap fixed. Did you ring Billy the Pipe?” Wrinkling my nose I buried my face into the pillow, pretending that I’d temporarily awoken, only to plunge back into the inky depths of slumber.
Sarah burst out laughing. “Monkey wrench? Where do you think you are? Screwfix?” Extracting myself from the cabinet I strode downstairs, through the kitchen and into the garage to locate my tool bag. If a job’s worth doing, etc. etc. Opening my bag of man implements I found: some used sand paper, an old biscuit tin full of nails, a toffee hammer, a fountain pen, a packet of tiny screwdrivers and - yes! Unbelievably, the one thing I needed. Triumphant, I bounded back upstairs to attend to my emergency DIY. I clamped my implement onto the offending nut. I pressed and I turned this way and that. Nothing.
“I’ll ring Billy tomorrow, I’m sure he’ll err…mmm…” Then, disaster – the duvet was flung over me like a massive folded omelette and out she went. Now doubly insulated, I squirmed under further, trying to make myself invisible.
Eventually Sarah tapped me on the shoulder. “Tom, what on earth is that?”
Through the endless folds of Egyptian cotton I could hear rummaging and shoving. But this was not Lady rummaging (clothes, dishcloths, bag of lipsticks) – this was Man rummaging (metal, wood and screws!). It was against the natural order of things, it was wrong. And then, horror of horrors – I heard banging! Banging? A woman doing man’s work! Humiliation heaped upon shame, I padded out to the bathroom where I stood rubbing my eyes and hovering as Sarah, with only her hind quarters visible, cussed and tutted under the sink. Desperately, I tried to formulate a sentence that would avoid annoying this virgin plumber. “Err, shall I fetch a torch darling?”
“That’s your Auntie Rita’s nut cracker. She’s been asking about it since the Christmas before last. You looked me in the eye and swore blind you didn’t know where it was. You fibber!”
“You can fetch me a plumber.” Testosterone taking over, I decided to wrest control. “Here, let me see.” Sarah withdrew angrily and, with less than sincere gesticulations, invited me to investigate. “Go on then, let’s get an expert opinion shall we?” Using my iPhone torch, I peered up at the tangle of copper pipes and fittings that looked more like a modern art installation than a method of carrying water to a tap. Gingerly, I massaged the offending joint as a teardrop of water enveloped my finger. “Pass me the monkey wrench.” I commanded.
1616
“My monkey wrench.”
“Well she won’t miss it, Uncle Willy’s loaded.” “That’s not the point! Anyway, what possible use is that?” “Well, that thing under there is a nut isn’t it?” “Listen mate, there’s only one nut in this bathroom.” And with that, the dripping stopped. There, sorted. Unfortunately the dripping was replaced by a hiss and then a jet of pressured water that began soaking my slippers. “Tom! Right that’s it, ring that emergency number – now!” “At three o’clock in the morning? How much will that cost?” “A lot less than a divorce.” Two hours later a proper man in overalls stepped over the pots and pans and in a jiffy resolved the issue. Tired, wet and £135 poorer I retired to bed, joined by Sarah holding Auntie Rita’s prized possession. “Why have you still got hold of those? There’s no nuts need cracking in here.” Clicking the grips together Sarah replied, “Don’t be so sure Thomas, don’t be so sure.” By Tom Hughes Follow Tom @groomsdaybook

Life List Additives Fad-itives If you read the ingredients on most processed foods you’ll quickly learn two things: you need stronger reading glasses and those lists use language differently. An anticaking agent sounds like early closing at the baker’s, while bulking agents immediately makes me think of pies, pasties or chips. Maybe those two agents could cancel one another out? Surely stabilisers belong on a bicycle and what is a sweetener if not a bribe? (Doubly so, if the bribe is chocolate.) Food colouring – something you’d assume we could get from the actual food itself – actually dates back as least as far as the Egyptians! The only thing we used to consider to be an antioxidant, especially in a crowded room, was smoking. When I see the words ‘flavour enhancers’ I can’t help thinking of good old-fashioned condiments – most things perk up with a pinch of salt, or perhaps some brown sauce. (Not so good with desserts though.)
There can be no better thickener than Reality TV, which is also the biggest contradiction. The only glazing agents I’m familiar with are egg white or glass – for entirely different reasons. Apparently, there’s an additive called tracer gas, which naturally conjures up images of Brussels sprouts, cabbage or lentils. (And not just images.) And a special mention must go to additive sulphur dioxide. Yes, it’s a preservative, and yes, it smells like a burnt match, but why, oh why, have some of us started spelling it with an ‘f’?

Recipe
Salmon with Tomato and Coriander Salsa This low-fat supper is quick to make and is packed with flavour. If you prefer, replace the salmon with trout or sea bass fillets. Serves: 4 Ready in: 30 minutes Ingredients: 4 ripe tomatoes, halved 1 red onion, peeled and finely chopped 2 tbsp freshly chopped coriander ½ red chilli, deseeded and very finely chopped (optional) 2 tbsp lime juice 2 tbsp olive oil Salt and freshly ground black pepper 4 salmon fillets Boiled long-grain and wild rice, to serve
Serve the salmon fillets on a bed of boiled long-grain and wild rice, topped with the salsa.
Method: To make the salsa, scoop out and discard the tomato seeds and dice the flesh. Place in a bowl with the red onion, coriander, chilli (if using) and 1 tbsp each of the lime juice and olive oil. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper and set aside.
If you prefer to oven bake the salmon fillets, wrap in individual foil parcels and place on a baking tray. Bake in a preheated oven at 190C / fan 170C / gas mark 5 for 25 minutes.
Heat a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and add the remaining olive oil. Place the salmon fillets in the pan, skin-side down, and cook for 5-6 minutes. Turn each fillet over, sprinkle over the rest of the lime juice and cook for a further 5-6 minutes or until the fish flakes easily.

Word on Wine Majestic Wines is great for finding interesting wines, as they have wines open to taste that you may have previously passed by. On a visit to their store in Derby, I found an unattended table with glasses and a bottle. On the bottle was a label that said ‘free tasting’. Intrigued, and not wanting to offend, I poured a small tasting into the glass only to find a smooth easy drinking red wine with lots of fruit flavours. Not only that, but the label on the bottle also amused me – the wine is called ‘Desire, Lush and Zin’ with a picture of a tattooed lady. The wine is a Primitivo wine from Puglia, in southern Italy, made by Pasqua Vigneti e Cantine Spa in Verona, Italy. The Primitivo grape is southern Italy’s main red wine grape, particularly in the region of Puglia. DNA testing has proved that the Zinfandel vines of California are the same vines as the Primitivo of Italy. It is thought that the Italian emigrants to North America took the vines with them or that they found the climate in California the same as back in Italy. It has also been proven by DNA testing that the Primitivo grape is the same as an ancient Croatian variety called Crljenak Kaštelanski. It is thought that the vines were brought over from Croatia to Puglia in the mid-18th century. In 1799 a priest from Croatia selected some cuttings from an old vine to plant at his new church in Gioia del Colle in Puglia. He noticed that the fruit on the old vine matured earlier than that of other vines, so he named the ‘new’ vine ‘Primitivo’ from the Latin ‘primativus’, translated as ‘first to ripen’.
Alcohol by Volume: 13.5% Food match: Pasta, pizza, lamb and pork dishes. Available from: Majestic Wine, Ashbourne Road, Derby £12.99 per bottle. (£9.99 mixed case offer) For more information on this wine, visit www.majestic.co.uk. If you like wine and would like to learn more, why not come along to one of our monthly meetings?

or contact me on 01159303712 for more details on our meeting and the variety of wines we will be tasting.
By David Savidge, Kilburn Wine Circle
The wine, ‘Desire Lush and Zin’ is made from 100% Primitivo grapes grown on sandy and clay soil with the intense sunlight of the area and the fresh breeze, that gently blows in from the Ionian Sea. This climate creates a wine with a distinct character, a complex structure and elegant aromas of extraordinary intensity. Technical Details: Grapes: 100% Primitivo Appearance: Clean – cherry red Nose / Aroma: Aromas of plums, dark cherries and chocolate. Taste: Soft and velvety with fine rich flavours of plums, red cherries, spice, vanilla and coffee.

Beer Amber Valley CAMRA Pub of the Year 2019 We are extremely lucky in the Amber Valley region to have some exceptional pubs on our doorstep; some may be unspoilt gems, which are destination pubs and may require a bit of an effort to get to, others could be located in a housing estate, in the middle of town or may even be a back-street bar. The Amber Valley CAMRA Pub of the Year seeks to find out which of these pubs have delivered, in terms of service, quality of beer being served, atmosphere and community focus. It is my view that transparency always helps people understand how and why a certain pub may be nominated and why their own favourite watering hole maybe wasn’t, so I’m taking this opportunity to outline the voting and judging procedure. Since the beginning of October 2018, all members of Amber Valley CAMRA were canvassed and asked to nominate up to 5 pubs that they felt worthy of being put through to the judging stage. Some members decided to vote for just their own local, others took it in the spirit it was meant, by considering all the pubs they visited throughout the year and nominated five hostelries. When the voting closed at the end of November, the 8 pubs with the most votes formed the shortlist. The shortlisted pubs this year gave a relatively good spread of nominations from the region and included the Angels, Belper; Holly Bush, Makeney; Old Oak, Horsley Woodhouse; Ripley’s Little Ale House, Ripley; Steampacket Inn, Swanwick; Talbot Taphouse, Ripley; Thorn Tree, Belper and last year’s winner the White Hart, Bargate.
During the months of December and January, these shortlisted pubs were visited by over 30 judges and were scored using a consistent set of guidelines. As this is a CAMRA award the criteria that carried the most weight related, of course, to the quality of the beer/cider available. Did the pub offer a good range and was the choice available served well and of good quality? Other categories included the style/décor and cleanliness of the pub; the service, knowledge and welcoming of the staff was of equal importance. As we all know, the pub aims to be the hub of the community, so all shortlisted pubs were judged by their community focus and atmosphere along with their alignment with CAMRA principles (prices and opening times clearly displayed, full measures or a top up without asking, for example). All marks were scored on a judge’s visit and were not given based on any preconceived opinion; that’s what makes this competition unique. The scores will be handed in at the end of January and the winner will be revealed at our AGM at the end of March. With so many good pubs making the shortlist, a couple making the list for the first time – Thorn Tree on Chesterfield Road in Belper and Ripley’s Little Ale House on Oxford Street – why don’t you plan a visit to one of the shortlisted pubs and see for yourself why it’s been nominated?

Footnotes My feet are really sore. This is the most common reason people give when I ask why they have contacted me for help. The most common causes of soreness turn out to be hard skin or corns or, more usually, a combination of the two. Hard skin is the body’s way of protecting the foot from pressure and friction. Unfortunately, when too much skin is produced it actually makes the problem worse by increasing the pressure on the affected area until a tiny piece of skin is under so much pressure that the blood supply is cut off and it dies. This is when it becomes a corn and becomes very painful. The body then decides to produce more hard skin to protect you from the pain and from then on it’s just a nasty vicious circle. The only way to give relief from corn pain is by removing the excess dead skin to relieve the pressure on the corn and, if possible, allowing healthy skin to re-grow. Maintenance from then on depends on the site of the corn and can be padding or silicon protectors. The reality is that, in most cases, they will need periodic treatment to keep them under control unless we can take away the cause of the pressure which, I’m sad to say, is often difficult or impossible in the case of long standing problems. However, the good news is that regular care can keep you comfortable, and many people are kept totally pain free between treatments. By Peter Waugh

Derbyshire Walking: Betty Kenny Walk Walk Type: Hilly countryside with several steep climbs, passing quarry edges. Distance: 4 miles (6.8 km) Time: Allow 3 hours Parking: Ambergate Railway Station Car Park, Grid Ref: 348516 Waymarking: Routeway 12 OS Map: Landranger (1:50,000) 119 Buxton & Matlock; Explorer (1;25,000) 269 Chesterfield and Alfreton Start: Ambergate railway station car park (Grid Ref. 348 516)
The Route 1. Go out of the car park entrance and down the steps on the left. Go down to the main road (A610). Turn left to go under the railway bridge and left again to walk along the A6. 2. Cross the road (beware of traffic) opposite Holly Lane. Walk down Holly Lane with the church on your left, and over Ha’penny Bridge. If you glance to your right over the bridge, you will see where the River Amber joins with the River Derwent.
Shining Cliff Woods is an ancient woodland. It was part of a Royal Hunting Forest called Duffield Frith owned by the de Ferrers family of Duffield Castle. The family was disgraced after the Barons Revolt against Henry III; the castle was destroyed and the lands given to the King’s son Edmund. Local legend has it that a local man gave his magnificent white horse as a gift to Edmund and in return received the ownership of Shining Cliff Woods. In 1690 the wood came into the ownership of the Hurt family and remained with them until several years after World War I. Most of the woodland is now managed by the Forestry Commission. 3. Continue through the barrier and follow the path. After 1/4 mile take the right fork to follow the path downhill for a short distance.
Turn right and follow the single-track road that runs along the bottom of the woodland. Continue for 1/4 mile and take the public footpath on the right (no vehicular access). Follow the path as it leads down through the old wire works. Continue all the way through the works following signs for the YHA until you reach the woodland. At the woodland do not continue to follow signs for the YHA but go straight ahead through the woodland (a mixture of sweet chestnut, oak and sycamore of approximately 100 years old) travelling parallel with the River Derwent and A6. Whilst in the wood, follow the wooden posts with the white stripe at the top.

Shining Cliff Woods is a Site of Special Scientific Interest due to the huge variety of plants and animals found in this ancient woodland. The wood supports a diverse bird community including warblers and flycatchers and in the winter bramblings and other finches. You will see that the species of trees and the management of them changes through the woodland. Notice the coppiced sycamore trees, beneath which in spring is a carpet of bluebells. PLEASE STICK TO THE MAIN PATHS. 4. After 1/2 mile take the main path on the left. Follow this uphill (marked by white posts) with pine trees on your right. Halfway up the hill, take the path on your

Health, Beauty & Fitness right uphill into the pine trees. The white posts lead you to the remains of the Betty Kenny Tree.
Betty Kenny (Kate Kenyon) and her husband Luke lived during the late 1700s in a huge yew tree reputed to be 2000 years old, the remains of which you can see. Their house was formed within the yew tree. It probably had a turf roof. The Kenyons raised 8 children. Local legend has it that a bough of the tree was hollowed out to act as a cradle for their children. Local legend also suggests that this is the origin of the nursery rhyme “Rock-a-bye Baby”. Luke was a charcoal burner and he and Betty became favourites of the Hurt family. They had their portraits painted by James Ward of the Royal Academy. 5. Follow the path beyond the Betty Kenny tree down the hill, head towards the stone wall at the edge of the wood. Cross the public footpath and continue ahead, skirting the edge of the wood next to the stone wall. (Over the wall are views of the Hurt family home, Alderwasley Hall, and their estate.)
8. Join the path again and follow it as it gently travels down through the wood. Eventually the path joins a wider path. Do not follow the path to the YHA but continue ahead. At the junction turn left to continue downhill. This area of the wood belongs to the Grith Pioneers. The Grith Pioneers group originally began life as the Grith Fyrd, or Citizens Peace Army. They were formed in the early 1930s, a time of great social deprivation especially amongst the working class. Unemployed young men were given the opportunity to live a lifestyle which encouraged selfsufficiency and cooperation with others, coupled with the chance to be part of and to understand their natural environment. The pioneers still uphold their original ideals and welcome folk into Shining Cliff Woods so that their beauty can be enjoyed by all.
9. At the bottom of the hill turn right to travel back the way you came through the old wireworks. Follow the path along the bottom of the wood and turn left along Holly Lane. Cross the A6 (beware of traffic). Turn left and then right to go under the railway bridge, right again, and right again up the steps and back to the railway car park. Walk supplied by Amber Valley Borough Council and Groundwork Creswell, Ashfield and Mansfield, as part of their ‘Routeways’ series of walks: www.visitambervalley.co.uk/get-active/walking-and-riding.
6. Follow the path and go over the boardwalks. Continue straight ahead, climbing through the woodland. Take care to keep away from the old quarry edge: keep children and pets under close control. 7. At the top of the hill take time to briefly leave the path and look at the view. Take care near the edge. There are good views down the Derwent valley. Landmarks such as Heage Windmill and Crich Stand can been seen on a clear day.
We have taken reasonable steps to ensure that this walk is safe and achievable by walkers of a realistic level of fitness. The publisher accepts no responsibility for any injuries caused to readers whilst following the walk. Always wear appropriate clothing and footwear. Walk details correct at time of going to print. It is advisable to carry the relevant OS map with you when walking the route.

Short Story La Chouette “Mum, come in here,” Jennifer whispered, dragging Doreen into the downstairs toilet. “Have you seen what Gary’s got in his rucksack?” “No love,” Doreen replied, steadying herself on the towel rail; it was a tight space for two people and a rucksack. “I don’t go nosing through your brother’s belongings, and neither should you.” “Shhh, he could be out of the shower any minute,” Jennifer said. “I need to show you something. Have you noticed he’s been behaving a bit strangely this week?” “He has been a bit jumpy,” Doreen agreed reluctantly. “I thought it meant love was in the air.” “Me too,” Jennifer nodded. “You know how I said he should take Elaine somewhere special for Valentine’s Day?” “You wouldn’t stop going on about it!” Doreen interrupted, sternly. “I had to!” Jennifer declared. “The poor thing, all he ever does is take her for walks in the countryside. What woman wouldn’t rather be wined and dined somewhere fancy?” “She’s the outdoors type,” Doreen shrugged.
“What are you trying to say, Jennifer?” “Well, what if Gary just imagines that Elaine’s his girlfriend?” Jennifer said carefully. “What if he’s just been watching her from afar with these binoculars?” “You mean like a stalker?” Doreen shook her head. “Our Gary’s not like that.” “And you know how he finally agreed to book a fancy restaurant, La Chouette, for tonight? Well I googled the restaurant,” Jennifer said. “It doesn’t exist.” Doreen went pale.
“Honestly Mum, is she a woman or a Labrador?” Jennifer shuddered. “They even go out in the rain.”
“What are you two doing hiding in here?” Gary surprised them both by opening the door. He frowned. “Why have you got my bag?”
“He seems happy,” Doreen said.
Jennifer took a moment to compose herself.
“That’s what I thought,” Jennifer said. “I just had this notion that he might be planning on popping the question tonight.” “What a lovely thought!” Doreen gasped.
“How do you explain these?” She held up the binoculars. Gary’s face froze. “They’re for this evening,” he snapped, “and none of your business.”
Jennifer continued, “I had this hunch that I if looked in his rucksack I’d find an engagement ring.”
“We know La Chouette doesn’t exist,” Jennifer said. “It’s time to come clean.”
Doreen grasped Jennifer’s arm. “And did you?”
Gary stared at her and then his face softened. “I said that just to get you off my case,” he said. “Elaine really isn’t interested in fancy restaurants.”
“No.” Jennifer opened the drawstring of Gary’s bag. “I found these. They’re night-vision binoculars, a thermos and some cheese sandwiches.” Both women looked at each other in horror. “Mum, tell me honestly, have you properly met this Elaine?” Jennifer asked. “He says she’s quite shy,” Doreen offered.
“Where are you going then?” Jennifer asked suspiciously. Gary sighed, “I’m taking her barn owl spotting.” “So you’re not stalking her then?” Doreen asked. “No, Mum,” Gary laughed. “She really is my girlfriend.” “That doesn’t sound very romantic,” Jennifer pouted.
“Don’t you think it’s odd that he only invites her round when we’re not here?”
Gary smiled. What Jennifer had failed to find was the diamond engagement ring he’d hidden in the lid of the thermos flask.
“I assumed he wanted some privacy.” Doreen felt flustered.

Motoring
Motoring
Smart Motorways Explained Smart Motorways are being created across the UK. Here’s how to drive on them. Vast swathes of UK roads are being transformed into ‘Smart Motorways’. They are cited as the solution for congestion, with the hard shoulder being used as a live lane and overhead gantries displaying variable speed limits with cameras enforcing them. Highways England says the introduction of Smart Motorways has ‘increased journey reliability’ and reduced personal injury accidents. But this new network requires a new way of driving, as well as a better understanding of what the overhead signs mean. Are there different types of Smart Motorway? There are, and different types of Smart Motorway are dotted throughout the country. The first is a controlled motorway, which retains its hard shoulder for emergency use. The remaining lanes are subject to variable speed limits, which are displayed on overhead gantries, and enforced by speed cameras. If no speed limit is displayed, then the national speed limit is in place. Then there are all-lane-running sections of motorway, where all lanes are live, and there isn’t a hard shoulder. In the event of an incident, a red ‘X’ is displayed above the closed lane. Any driver who ignores this will receive a £100 fine and three penalty points on their licence. Again, overhead speed limits are enforced by cameras. Finally, you’ve got a dynamic hard shoulder, which can be opened to live traffic during periods of congestion, with overhead gantry signs showing whether or not it can be used. It shouldn’t be used if the signs above the lane are blank or displaying a red ‘X’. Again, this is enforced by the overhead cameras. What happens if I break down on a motorway with no hard shoulder? Look out for an emergency refuge area (ERA), denoted by blue signs with an orange SOS telephone symbol, and dotted at 1.5 mile intervals along the highway.
If you’re unable to get to an ERA, you should attempt to get onto the verge (providing there is no barrier), switch on your hazard lights and exit the vehicle safely via the nearside door. If you can’t get to the nearside of the motorway safely, stay in the vehicle with your seatbelt securely fastened. If you can get out of the car, contact Highways England via one of the phones placed in the ERA. However, if you can’t exit the vehicle, you need to call 999 from your mobile. Can I get caught for speeding even if a limit isn’t displayed above the road? Highways England states that: “All mandatory speed limits are enforced by police, as is the national speed limit of 70mph when no speeds are shown. If you break the speed limits you will be caught.” The best advice is simply not to exceed the speed limit.
Do Smart Motorways actually work? According to Highways England, Smart Motorways are helping to keep roads moving. Published statistics say that journey reliability has improved by 22 per cent and personal injury accidents have been reduced by more than half. Highways England also says that where accidents did occur, their severity was much lower overall. By James Baggott

Brian Gration Carpets With over 65 years’ experience between them, father and son team Paul and Brian Gration, of Brian Gration Carpets in Belper, really are experts in their field! The business has been trading in Belper for over 25 years, the past 10 of which have been from their current shop on Gregory’s Way. Over the years they’ve helped out countless local people with all kinds of flooring, from carpet to laminate to cushion floor, and have seen a lot of repeat business from satisfied customers who know they can be relied upon for a quality product and excellent service. “My dad and I fit all the carpets,” explains Paul. “We pride ourselves on a very high standard of fitting and never use sub-contractors, so you know that you’ll be dealing with the same, reliable people from ordering in the shop to having the flooring fitted in your home. We’re straightforward and honest, which is why most customers keep coming back each time they need new flooring.” If you’re looking for a new carpet or flooring you can either visit the shop to choose from the wide range of options or, if getting out and about is difficult or if you’d prefer to choose in situ, they can bring samples to you. Either way, they offer a measuring service so even if you have rough measurements
Paul Gration of Brian Gration Carpets
you can rest assured that they’ll be checked by an expert! With many options of flooring including a range of laminates, and all colours and thicknesses of carpet including durable, bleach cleanable carpets which are soft to touch yet tough (ideal for busy family homes) there’s something to suit everyone’s tastes, needs and budget. They always use quality underlay (either 8mm or 10mm) because, as Paul says, “fitting cheap underlay is the oldest trick in the book Paul Gration of Brian Gration Carpets and we’re not about pulling the wool over people’s eyes!” They will do their utmost to make the fitting process as easy as possible for homeowners, by moving furniture and taking away the old carpet. So, if you’re looking to replace your flooring, then try the experts at Brian Gration carpets. Visit the shop at 31 Gregory’s Way, Belper (free parking available just outside) or call 01773 880879.
Thinking of a New Carpet? Your Local Expert, Brian Gration and son Paul will help you choose the best floor covering for your needs. • Over 40 years’ experience • Visit our store (with free parking) or select from the comfort of your own home with our mobile selection service • A huge selection of floor coverings: carpets, vinyls and laminates • Stain resistant carpets from £8.99sqm fitted • Most carpets can be ordered and fitted within days! • Insurance/contract/commercial work undertaken

Property Matters
your first port of call. Their imagination and vision can yield unexpected results from even the most awkward of sites.
Too much garden and not enough time for gardening? Some of you out there have very large gardens that you either don’t want or don’t need. Turn them into building plots, make some money, put your lawn mower away and put your feet up…
Is it the right time? Most Local Authorities are short on housing supply – they need more sites with planning approval for houses. Whilst they would love to meet this need with just large sites of, say, 300 houses, the small sites with just one or two plots still contribute to their housing targets. So, why wait? If you think you may be sitting on a plot of land you have nothing to lose!
Are You Sitting on a Building Plot?
Not everyone can do this, but if you have an unusually wide and/or long garden, especially if you live on the corner of two streets, there’s a strong chance you may have a building plot!
Watch points: PROPERTY MATTERS Getting planning permission in a conservation area is a
bit trickier. As a general rule you can’t apply for outline Your questions answered by Local Jon Planning permission in a conservation area – most Authorities will ask for a full detailed planning permission. Ltd Pilkington, Jon Pilkington Architecture

Bearing in mind that moving up the property ladder from a three-bedroom to a four-bedroom house costs an average of £40,000 (not including legal fees and other moving costs) a two storey extension or loft conversion can be accomplished for around £30,000 - £35,000.

As the number of homeowners prepared to put their homes on sale is falling, extending an existing home is becoming increasingly attractive to many. Many contractors are still quoting competitively, while a surge in re-mortgages, confirmed by the Council of Mortgage Lenders, suggests many homeowners could have raised finance for building work. So….if this type of project has been something you’ve been considering then take advantage of the free initial consultation offered by Pilkington Architecture.

Homes & Gardens If your soil is heavy and wet, and if it is alkaline or chalky, summer raspberries may struggle, so grow autumn fruiters as they can withstand the adverse conditions. First, choose a sunny, sheltered spot and weed thoroughly so the raspberry canes are not competing with weeds for moisture and nutrients. If your garden is very hot and sunny in the summer then light shade for the raspberries from a nearby tree is recommended; otherwise, they like sunshine. Summer-fruiting raspberries need a support system – sturdy posts at a spacing of about 1.8m (6ft) and galvanized wires at a spacing of about 30cm (12in) will do the trick. Autumn-fruiting raspberries should be fine without support but you can tie them in if you wish. The canes are available now and in their ‘dormant’ state (looking like a bundle of sticks) respond well to planting now. Space the canes 40-45cm (15-17in) apart and allow about 2m (6ft 6in) between rows. Dig in plenty of well-rotted manure and plant each cane at a depth of 5-8cm (2-3in), spreading the roots out well so they establish better. Firm the canes in then cut each one back to about 25cm (10in) above ground level and water in well if the soil is dry.
Gardening
Remarkable Raspberries If you want to grow soft fruit then I recommend raspberries for value, reliability and ease of growth. The canes, best bought bare root, are available now, so here are my top tips for planting and growing great raspberries. Raspberries like moisture, without being soggy around the roots. Improve light and sandy soil by digging in plenty of bulky organic matter such as compost or well-rotted manure before planting. Summer-fruiting raspberries crop in midsummer, while autumn fruiters crop from the end of summer, often until the first frosts, so if possible plant a few of each. There are different varieties of summer and autumn-fruiting raspberries, and the ‘Fallgold’ variety even has yellow fruits.
Summer-fruiting raspberries fruit on the previous year’s growth, so planting now will be much better in 2020 onwards than this year. Autumn fruiters produce their crop on the same year’s growth, so expect a decent crop this autumn then heavier ones from 2020. These should crop until the first frosts. Mulch raspberries each spring with well-rotted manure. Once finished cropping, cut the fruit-bearing canes of summer-fruiting varieties back to ground level, and tie the newly formed canes to the wires ready for next year. With autumn-fruiting raspberries, cut back the old canes at the end of winter and the new canes will appear in spring.

Children & Education
The Diary of a Local Mum Energy Levels There are obviously lots of differences between children and adults, but a major one that can often prove problematic when you’re charged with caring for small humans, is the difference in energy levels. Kids attack everything with gusto. And I mean, everything. Whether it’s getting out of bed, cleaning teeth, putting on socks… you name it… it’s accompanied with a leap, a shriek, a flourish, a funky dance. It’s as if, from the moment they wake, they’re hypercharged and exuding excess energy that they just can’t wait to burn off. It’s impressive. It’s admirable. It’s exhausting. Somewhere between childhood and adulthood (probably during the teenage years) this is lost. As adults, everything (getting out of bed, cleaning teeth, putting on socks…) takes far more effort and, rather than having endless supplies of the stuff, energy seems like a precious commodity that you have to summon when it’s most needed – and, like cheap batteries, it doesn’t last as long either. While a small child can dance around the kitchen for hours, joining in as an adult is fun for a short while but the need to ‘sit down for a breather’ is upon you before the final bars of the song have finished and you realise you need to save some of your precious reserves for cooking the tea (which is what you were trying to do in the first place before the impromptu disco began). Keeping up with kids is exhausting. When running around with them becomes all too much, there are thankfully other ways to harness their energy and engage their interest, so you sign them up for every sports club out there. ‘Ha!’ You think. ‘This will do it!’ But, after two hours of non-stop activity they come out buzzing, dying to show you all they’ve learnt, involving interactive demonstrations and even more of a battle to get this hyped up child into bed – while you’re even
66 66
more exhausted than usual just from taxiing them around. Sometimes, however, it’s easy to take this relentless energy for granted. They’re always keen to do yet another activity until the hamster wheel of life is spinning so fast you realise they haven’t had any downtime for what seems like weeks and you notice an almost imperceptible decrease in pace. Their leap out of bed is a little lower. They brush their teeth without the accompanying silly dance. They put on their socks sitting down. Kids these days get a lot of stick for being permanently attached to a technological device; for lying prone on the sofa; for spending their life vegetating, and while that seems to very rarely be the case in our house there’s definitely a happy medium to be achieved somewhere along the line. When you notice the spring has gone from their step, their joie de vivre is beginning to wane, their relentless energy is ebbing away… it’s time for a glorious pyjama day: a guilt-free day of nothingness while they recharge to turbo-level and you recuperate to something just the right side of exhaustion. Well, I say ‘pyjama day’ – in reality, while you’ve got your sights set on a TV marathon, the kids’ batteries can fully recharge in a fraction of the time that it takes to get yours out of the red zone. No sooner have you got the blankets out and made the hot chocolate, decided on a film, and agreed a comfortable position for everyone to sit, they’re up. They’re dancing to the opening credits, re-enacting their favourite scene, dragging you off the sofa to play your part too. Oh well, it was good while it lasted, briefly.

Belper School Short Story Everybody Needs a Bit of Death in Their Life! Running as fast as the wind away from the predators who wanted my soul, little did I know it was to my inevitable death; my heart was beating as fast as a drum and colossal beads of sweat were running down my face like a waterfall. I found a building. Hope. I opened up the side door and I could see shadows of what could only be described as robots. They were all lined up like an army… innocent dead bodies surrounded them. Those robots were lethal. Terror captured my whole body. I had to destroy them before they destroyed me. I removed all of their circuits until all that was underneath me was a sea of robot guts. All bar one… This one seemed different; this one I wanted to test – I wanted to see if I could make it good again, unlike the other deadly robotic beasts. I flicked its switch on its back; suddenly, it beeped, quietly at first. It looked around convulsively, its eyes turned a deep crimson red. It knew what I’d done to its fellow hell hounds. Where could I hide? There was nowhere to go to but to run to my inevitable death… what had I done? I turned back to the robot, which was now whirling its arm around like an overwound clock. Soon, a firework display! Purple, blue, orange, yellow sparks flew high up to the ceiling. I fell. Cautiously, I crawled behind the robot, attempting to pull a wire out, but as I did so, it stopped. Silence. Nothing. I pulled the wire out… blue to red, red to green, green to orange and before I knew it, I could see the reflection of its eyes turning hazardously from red to a luminous sky blue… “How may I help?” it said, looking me straight in the eye.
we now ruled Britain. However, it just wasn’t enough, power started to take over my body and run through my veins. I wanted more. I wanted to annihilate the ruler of the earth, the person who made as many people as she could her suffering slaves, the person who I grew up with in her shadow; my twin sister… Michele the Great was going down! Gone. Now, I ruled the earth; with my robot, nobody could stop me. After 5 years in power, I ruled the solar system. After another 10 years I ruled the galaxy. I almost forgot about my mere robot because of all the mighty power I had until it got angry, furiously ferocious in fact. I had too much power and I had to be told. It raised its arm and declared: ‘Everybody needs a bit of death in their life, including you!” By Nikola Prokipczuk Year 10 pupil, Belper School

Book Reviews: Books to Get You Talking This month’s books are perfect for discussing at your book club, dissecting over dinner and chatting about on social media. The Silence of the Girls Pat Barker The Silence of the Girls is a vivid retelling of Homer’s Iliad. However, this time the focus is on the minor characters, namely the women taken as ‘spoils of war’. Queen Briseis is taken as a sex slave by Achilles when he destroys her city. Through Briseis we hear of the other female slaves in the encampment – women who are forced to serve the men that killed their husbands, fathers, brothers and sons. This is Going to Hurt Adam Kay From 100-hour weeks to moral conundrums and emergency operations, the life of a junior doctor is far from easy. Adam Kay reveals all through six years of diary entries. Surprisingly, This is Going to Hurt is an incredibly funny book, particularly the numerous footnotes explaining hospital lingo. However, Kay also gives us an insight into the stark reality of life on the frontline of the NHS. Once Upon a River Diane Setterfield A man stumbles into The Swan Inn carrying the body of what appears to be a dead girl in his arms. A few hours later, the little girl stirs. But who is she? Part adult fairy tale, part folk tale, Once Upon a River celebrates the art of
7272
storytelling and weaves numerous stories into one rich tapestry. Thoroughly enjoyable. Codename Villanelle Luke Jennings If you loved the BBC’s Killing Eve, don’t miss the book it was based on. Villanelle is a cold-blooded assassin who you just can’t help but root for. Eve is the woman tasked with stopping her. The storyline is quite different from that of the TV series and has less dark humour, but there’s still plenty of suspense to keep you reading. Roar Cecelia Ahern Ahern’s latest book is a collection of satirical short stories. Each focuses on an unnamed female protagonist and most are a literal interpretation of a stereotype or saying. The trophy wife’s partner builds her a shelf to sit on, where she can be admired by his friends and family. The woman who feels invisible to society starts to slowly disappear. There are plenty of themes to digest and discuss and a lot of enjoyment to be had in each tale. Sunny Side Up Susan Calman Comedian and Strictly star Susan Calman is on a mission to encourage ‘joy, kindness and community’ with her latest book. There are anecdotes from her own life and examples of random acts of kindness that have been shared by her fans. Sunny Side Up is full of warmth, positivity and (of course) plenty of humour.

Derbyshire Police Re-launch Public Messaging Service The public messaging service Derbyshire Alert has been re-launched across Derbyshire by the Police and Crime Commissioner, who honoured his manifesto pledge to reinstate the hugely popular information service following public appeals. The system allows members of the public and businesses to register to receive information from the police and the commissioner regarding crime and information relating directly to the area where they live. Alert is the national messaging system used by Action Fraud and is utilised by the Home Office for national and regional surveys to help educate the public to protect themselves against Cybercrime and fraud.
The commissioner Hardyal Dhindsa has been working with the Constabulary to extend the service and has funded this latest development. He said today: “This latest service is really good news for local residents and businesses. We have worked with the Constabulary to deliver exactly what they have asked for: localised,
(L to R): Mike Douglas, Neighbourhood Alert, Lynn Farrar, Neighbourhood Watch, Carole Woodall, Derbyshire Alert Coordinator, Gary Knighton, Deputy Chief Constable, and Kevin Gillott, Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner
(L to R): Mike Douglas, Neighbourhood Alert, Lynn Farrar, Neighbourhood Watch, Carole Woodall, Derbyshire Alert Coordinator, Gary Knighton, Deputy Chief Constable, and Kevin Gillott, Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner
accurate information about crime and community safety issues delivered in real time by the neighbourhood officers on the street. “As requested people will receive pertinent information direct to their preferred device which could help to reduce their risk of becoming a victim of crime. The reaction from the Neighbourhood Watches at the meeting tonight was really positive and I know that they will help us encourage more people to sign up to receive alerts about their area.” Chief Constable Peter Goodman said: “The system is an excellent tool for engaging with the public, gaining their views and opinions and building in procedures and systems to assist with tackling crime. “Other Social Media platforms do not reach the whole of Derbyshire and there is a need to find other solutions to liaise with the public in relation to crime in their area.” If you are interested in receiving messages log on and sign up at www.derbyshirealert.co.uk.

Local History: A Water Supply for Belper When looking through the programme of future lectures for Belper Historical Society, the one concerning the use of water power by the Strutts for their mills reminded me that the Strutt family also gave to the town an improved supply of drinking water. The Society’s archive contains copies of various documents recording the gift, including a detailed breakdown of the costs incurred by Mr Strutt as published in its accounts by Belper Urban District Council in 1902. The following extract from The Belper News of Friday, 18 September, 1896 not only illustrates the style of journalistic reporting at the time, but also shows the effect on the Council and the ratepayers of the magnitude of the gift. “Once again in its history Belper has been the recipient of the noble generosity of the House of STRUTT. About two years ago, the late Mr. GEORGE HENRY STRUTT inaugurated in an exceedingly practical and munificent manner our new Water System by purchasing the plant and rights of the Belper Waterworks Company at a cost of £11,500, which he generously gave to the town. Shortly after this came the lamentable death of the donor, but Mr HERBERT STRUTT had the town’s welfare so much at heart as to induce him to offer the sum of £600 for boring operations in the Meadows, which, as everyone is aware is a very successful source of water supply. Content with this, we had however the surprise mingled with exceeding pleasure to hear of a further gift from Mr STRUTT when he promised to pay £4,000 for the process of well-sinking and the making of headings, and on Wednesday, we had the grateful news that Mr STRUTT was prepared to help with another sum of nearly £10,000. When the letter was read at the Council announcing the offer, the Councillors appeared overwhelmed, a minute or two elapsed before a lively sense of the greatness of the offer could be felt. It is not exaggeration to say that in round figures the noble generosity of Mr GEORGE HENRY STRUTT and Mr HERBERT STRUTT is equal to a gift of £40,000, for in addition to the sums given, had the town borrowed the amount there would have been an addition (for interest extending
a period of 30 years) of no less a sum than £18,000. Reckon the figure as you will they are figures that hum with meaning, as over one shilling in the pound will be saved for every Belper rate payer, not one year only, but for thirty years. Mr STRUTT has undoubtedly brought the new water supply into the sphere of immediate practical issue, as his last gift will facilitate the scheme in nine or twelve months and by the end of 1897, we shall, no doubt, be able to congratulate ourselves on a Water supply of sufficient quantity to provide for a population three times as large as our own. Good water is a priceless thing and as a priceless gift we believe it will be enjoyed.” The Society’s talks take place at 7.30pm at Strutts on Derby Road on the first Wednesday of the month. On 6 February there is “An Evening with Charles Hanson” when he will entertain with antiques and anecdotes with a Derbyshire twist. On 6 March Ian Jackson will highlight how the Strutts powered their mills in his talk on “Belper Water Power”. Adrian Farmer’s talk on “Belper’s Early Photographers” follows on 3 April. Please contact the Secretary, Adrian Keetley, on 01773 599089 if you need further information.

Your Horoscope February and March 2019 February really gets going on the 4th with a powerful new moon in the benevolent and humanitarian sign of Aquarius. This quirky new moon encourages us all to be independent and to contemplate in which areas of life we may be able to offer help and support others. This new moon also ushers in the Chinese New Year – the year of the Earth Pig. On a personal level, during this year well-considered actions will be rewarded much more than risk taking. Dynamic Mars arrives in practical and down to earth Taurus on the 15th; this placement offers excellent opportunities to fine tune and advance your practical projects. The love planet Venus is resolute and determined after her arrival in Capricorn on the 4th. Is this the year when romantic relationships get serious? Wait for Valentine’s Day and find out! March starts out with rather a mystical flavour as the Sun and Neptune are in close contact in gentle Pisces, offering a magical and spiritual energy that could help with a kinder and more humanitarian outlook on the world stage. Mercury, the planet of ideas and interaction, moves into the retrograde phase on the 5th to the 28th. As always, this is a time of reviewing and double checking anything to do with communications, travel or important written documents. Mars is in the down to earth sign of Taurus all month, highlighting practical energy and the need to get things done.
