Rachael Collins from Fleur Florist
All Things Local has joined forces with Rachael Collins (pictured) from Fleur Florist of King Street, Belper to offer readers the chance to show their appreciation for a fellow member of the community. The recipients of this issue’s bouquet are Ann and David Harris from Kilburn. They have been nominated by Derbyshire Children’s Holiday Centre Support Group. Here’s what they wrote: “We would like to nominate Ann and David Harris for the ‘Friendship Blooms’ award for the following reasons: David has served the local community for many years as an active member of the Kilburn Community Association, Church Warden at St Clement’s in Horsley and the Rotary Club of Belper. The charity nearest to his and Ann’s hearts has been the ‘Derbyshire Children’s Holiday Centre’ in Skegness. David has been the chairman and fundraising officer for 25 years and served as a trustee for many years prior to this. The hours David and Ann have devoted to this charity cannot be calculated; they have truly given their all. David has recently stepped down from his work with the charity and all of us who have worked and fundraised under his guidance will miss the wonderful times we’ve had together. Many thanks.” Derbyshire Children’s Holiday Centre Support Group. Nominate someone to receive the next bouquet. All you have to do is state, in no more than 100 words, who you are nominating.

PC Tips from your ‘Local’ Computer Tutor Voice Over Internet Protocol What does this mean? Phone calls will be delivered via the internet through the router into which the telephones will be plugged instead of the usual socket. BT had started to roll this out, however I understand this is on hold for now. A few issues need to be ironed out. Dame Esther Rantzen (from Silver Line) has raised awareness. A break in broadband service would mean the telephone wouldn’t work. In this instance a mobile phone would be the back up for phone calls and there are areas signal.
