January and February are often the coldest months – and as I write this, another blast of icy weather has been forecast for the coming week. When sub-zero temperatures and snow arrive we all need to stay warm – and this is particularly important for the elderly, the very young and anyone with a health condition. Keeping warm can help prevent colds and flu, and it’s recommended that homes are heated to at least 18°C – especially if you’re over 65 or have limited mobility. Wearing layers of warm clothing, using a hot water bottle at night and having regular hot drinks can also help, as can eating healthily and being as active as possible. If you’re heating your home, you want to be sure all the heat stays inside. Effective insulation keeps

your house warmer and your energy bills down. As well as having loft insulation, consider draught-proofing gaps around windows and doors – and don’t forget draughts that can sneak in through the keyhole or letterbox. Thermal-lined curtains keep rooms warm at night, and remember to close curtains at dusk to keep the warmth in. Wood is good One thing we wouldn’t be without at this time of year is our Clearview wood-burning stove. We’ve enjoyed the warmth it produces for several winters now, and the stove has helped to reduce our carbon footprint and make our home more energy efficient. If trees used for firewood are replaced, wood provides virtually carbon-neutral heating. Trees absorb carbon

dioxide, and this is released when the wood is burnt – so no additional carbon dioxide is added to the atmosphere. To keep a stove burning at maximum efficiency, you need to select the right wood, store it correctly, and burn it at the optimum temperature. Wood needs to be seasoned before being burnt. This means the wood should be left for at least six months – and preferably for at least a year – after cutting, so that it can dry out thoroughly. Burning "green" (freshly cut) or wet wood on your stove can cause problems, the most serious being a tarred-up chimney – which could result in a chimney fire. Seasoned logs will burn better and give off more heat. When you buy logs, your supplier may sell you seasoned or un-seasoned wood: always check before you buy. Seasoned firewood will reabsorb water if exposed to rain, snow or dew, so it is important to store it properly. You can buy a woodstore or make your own. We made ours with four upright posts rammed into the ground and a builder’s pallet, covered in roofing felt, set at an angle for the roof. The wood needs to be stacked off the ground – builders' pallets are useful here too, but a layer of

gravel or a few paving slabs will also work. You can also stack wood in a barn, garage or garden shed. Most stoves burn at maximum efficiency between 150°C and 350°C – so a thermometer for your stove can be a useful accessory to check that you are getting the best possible heat from your fuel. Trees for fuel, food and wildlife As to which wood to burn, ash is generally considered to be the best firewood. It burns well, gives out plenty of heat and tends to season more quickly than other woods. Oak and hazel need to be well-seasoned but will give off a good heat. Hawthorn is a very dense

FOR YOUR OLD SPECS One of the greatest wonders in the world is happening right here, right now, right in your own backyard. From October until March on a windswept summit a working mine becomes the

unlikely venue for a very unusual phenomenon. Every day like clockwork, come sun, rain or snow, tens of thousands of starlings flock together half an hour before dusk in a

pre-roost ritual known as a murmuration. The story begins way back in 1973 when British Fluorspar Ltd built a dam on the top of Middleton Moor to facilitate in cleaning up

the valuable commodity. Into the dam was poured ton after ton of slurry, creating through settlement one of the most important wildlife habitats in the whole of the White Peak an artificial lagoon. Between 1979 and 1981 around its barren edge sprouted vegetation, especially reeds – lots and lots of reeds. The stage was now set for the players; an appearance that would take a quarter of a century. Roy Frost, co-author of the Birds Of Derbyshire with Steve Shaw, published last year, commented, ‘The first big roost at MM [Middleton Moor] was in the 2007 – 8 winter when 7,500 were estimated. By 2009 – 10 there were 15,000 plus. Last winter (2013-14) saw a huge increase to anywhere between 40 and 70 thousand and, of course, there are large numbers present again now.’ The site of the murmuration (SK 203 749) is located directly adjacent to the southern side of Thunderpit Lane (also known on Google Maps as Thunderpit Lane, Derbyshire Dales District) roughly halfway as the crow flies between Wardlow and Stoney Middleton. For directions take the A623 Chapel-en-le-Frith to Chesterfield road east towards Chesterfield. Approximately two miles past the Anchor Inn look out for a junction on the right for Cavendish Mill marked by a small black sign with a symbol of a lorry. Follow this lane around the hairpin bend and then take the first junction on the left also marked Cavendish Mill. You are now on Thunderpit Lane. Access to the site is via the second gate on the right. But before entering leave your vehicle in the lorry park towards the eastern end of the lane where the quarry authorities kindly permit free public parking. Do not under any circumstances obstruct the passage of heavy goods wagons on the thoroughfare. Derek Stables, maintenance foreman at the mineral works, stated emphatically, ‘We’ve made a concession: as long as members of the public stay within the cordoned area and obey the signs then we will continue to allow access. There is a bird hide but there’s only one way in and one way out. You’re not to wander around the site because it’s full of quicksand.’ The author expresses his gratitude to Dave Richardson, Vice Chairman, Derbyshire Ornithological Society.

PARWICH RESIDENTS WANNA DANCE WITH SOMEBODY Family Street Dance Sessions Seeking New Instructor A successful street dance project in Parwich in the Derbyshire Dales, launched by Derbyshire Village Games, is on the lookout for a new instructor to lead sessions. The group has proved hugely popular with both young and old, after residents pleaded for more sport and activity in the village last year. The weekly family dance classes encourage parents and carers to get up and have a boogie with their children and relatives and attract nearly 20 participants. Parwich resident, Katy Wayne got in touch with Derbyshire Dales Village Games Coordinator, Katy Stubbs to ask for her help in organising fun, local dance sessions for the community. Katy Stubbs said: “The sessions came about as a result of Katy contacting me asking if I could help get more activity in the village. Although Parwich has great facilities there was very little activity taking place. Following a one-off multi sports day during the summer holidays it was evident there was an interest in dance and we trialled a six week block, where it has continued from there. “The sessions have worked well as there are very little other activities in the village and the fact that parents and children both join in makes it the perfect opportunity for parents to do some exercise and not have to worry about child care arrangements. “Our instructor has done a brilliant job but sadly has to step down for personal reasons and we’re really keen to continue the classes.” Katy Wayne attends the sessions with her two daughters, aged four and seven. She said: “I enjoy the dance events because they take place in the village and no travelling is needed – that’s a first! All ages can be involved as well, it’s very inclusive. It means family time, fun and laughter!” Lily Rushton is 9 and lives in Ballidon, she said: “The classes are very well organised, fun and energetic. It’s nice that different age groups of children can do dance together.” Jennifer Barker from Pikehall enjoys the social aspect of the group and said: “The sessions bring people together, they mean

family time and learning to dance together, it’s also good to meet new people.” Sally Woolley attends the class with her nephew and said he looks forward to it all week. The Parwich resident explained: “It’s something new and exciting to try; learning to work together and have fun. I enjoy watching the children enjoying themselves and learning to dance myself! It’s nice to do something together and the sessions are very well organised. The children have formed a good team and the parents and carers too.” Katherine Hardy, who’s also from Parwich, said it’s “very important” for parents and children to do exercise together whilst having fun at the same time. Family time is the reason Melissa Wragg enjoys the sessions so much. The

Pikehall resident goes along with daughter, Ebony and said it’s: “A must have for a little, rural village. It’s great to see the kids enjoy it and mixing with other children. It’s something you can enjoy and do as a family.” Parwich resident, Vicky Yeomans said: “I hope the sessions will carry on – please don’t stop them!”

Dance Classes usually take place every Wednesday 5.00-6.00pm at Parwich Memorial Hall. It’s £3.00 per person or £5 per household (which must include at least one adult). If you’d like to find out more about becoming the instructor, please contact Katy Stubbs on 01629 761 387.

BOTSWANA THE KALAHARI AND THE OKOVANGO DELTA Bakewell Bird Study Group’s next meeting is on Monday February 9th and is presented by Geoff Trinder from Doncaster. The Okovango is a rare example of an inland delta where the river fed from the Angolan mountains disappears into the sands of the Kalahari

desert. It is the home of many unusual and spectacular birds and

animals including several species of bee eater, the Pell’s fishing owl and the

tiny lechwe, a species of marshland deer. The picture is of a barred owl, another Botswana speciality. Geoff will also be talking about his encounter with the bushmen of the Kalahari and their traditional lifestyle. All our meetings are at 7:30 in the Friends Meeting House on Matlock Street in Bakewell on Chapel Row next to the Methodist chapel. Guests are always welcome (£2) so why not come along. Better still join the group and take advantage of our visits to local birding hot spots. All members are welcome on these trips which are led by experienced birdwatchers. For more information call 01433 630467.

FAVELL SMITH & LAWSON SOLICITORS

Abbotsholme School pupil Max Bettson-Burdett is the first pupil to receive a brand new Science Award – the Tony Price Science Award. This is a new award given out this year following a decision made by Abbotsholme’s Governors to award an annual Sixth Form scholarship in memory of “one of the most remarkable teachers” to have taught at Abbotsholme. The award assists one pupil particularly towards the cost of further scientific study at university, and is given to a member of the Upper Sixth who is bound for a science based course at university and, in the eyes of the science department, will further the name of Abbotsholme School, and in particular the Science department, in the wider world. Tony Price was an inspirational man who taught at Abbotsholme for 36 years,

and was Head of Chemistry. For the academic year 198384, he managed to carry out a number of roles at the same time – teacher, head of science, housemaster, deputy head and headmaster! This shows the calibre of the man. But like any great teacher here, his contributions went far outside the classroom. He ran the rugby XV for 21 years and he led many fossilhunting hikes to the North Yorkshire coast, which is why following his death in 2011, a plaque and mounted ammonite fossil were unveiled by his widow at Abbotsholme. He is remembered for his ability to encourage pupils into a life dedicated to areas of science. Max was chosen by all the science staff to receive this

award for his hard work and dedication. Max is not only one of Abbotsholme’s two Heads of School, but a keen sportsman, as well as being in the orchestra and choir, has participated in Round Square exchanges and conferences, and is hoping to do go on to do Physiotherapy at University. Max, aged 18 from Uttoxeter, said of his award, “I was really surprised to receive the award and had no idea about it being awarded, or that I would be the first recipient.” He added, “I am very proud to have been chosen to receive it and be the first recipient of it; it is also really rewarding to be recognised for all the hard work I have put in and to know that it is all paying off.”

Fairtrade Fortnight is coming, 23 February-8 March 2015! Fairtrade has come a long way since the first Fairtrade Fortnight in 1995, educating the British public on why to choose Fairtrade and also increasing sales on Fairtrade terms for poor producers in developing countries. Over the past 20 years, thousands of people have worked hard to make the Fairtrade Mark the best known ethical label in the UK. In a survey in 2014, 78% of the UK public recognised the FAIRTRADE Mark. From UK sales alone, £26m of Fairtrade Premium was invested by producers in 2013. The Fairtrade Premium is what makes Fairtrade unique. It is an additional sum of money paid on top of the Fairtrade price that farmers and workers can use to invest in development projects to help their communities and businesses.There is still a long

way to go to make all trade fair – only 1.2% of cocoa and just less than 10% of tea globally is traded on Fairtrade terms. During Fairtrade Fortnight 2015, here in the Derbyshire Dales we’re going to celebrate the impact of Fairtrade by holding Fairtrade Bake Offs in each of the five Fairtrade towns, namely, Ashbourne, Bakewell, Darley Dale, Matlock and Wirksworth. Then all the winners from the town heats will take part in a Grand Final at Carsington Water Visitor Centre. There will be two categories for each Bake Off, one for adults and one for U14’s. If you would like to take part in one of the Bake Offs, entry forms are available at: www.matlockfairtrade.com

The Matlock Storytelling Café is proud to present Michael Harvey with Stories from the Black Mountain. Venture into the vibrant and liminal world of Breton fairytales, and a landscape filled with encounters with beauties, beasts, strange companions, bizarre marriages, and ruthless atonement. In a charmyour-socks-off performance, Michael Harvey draws on the collections of François-Marie Luzel, to recast and retell these grown up tales of wonder with a disarmingly light touch. These stories come from a place where everyday life and the fantastic collide – somewhere simultaneously earthy, ethereal and real... with a decidedly comedic twist. Michael has told stories both as a solo performer and

When completed and accepted by residents and the Government, this Plan will ensure that the views of Darley Dale residents are properly considered when new developments are planned for the town. To get further detailed views of the town’s residents, questionnaires have been delivered across Darley Dale, with a return date of 28 February 2015.

DARTS NATION CUP Peak District darts ace Dave Smith-Hayes, who lives in Calver, has been selected to represent Wales in the five man team to play in the Nations cup in Northern Ireland. Dave is a delivery driver for local food distributor Holdsworths, and is very kindly sponsored by Mark and Sharon of Bakewell Pet Supplies. He has been selected for his fine performances for Derbyshire in division two of the National Inter Counties League, and has also helped Wales to the gold medal at the European cup of darts in Romania back in September 2014, where they beat England 9-7 in a thrilling final. Dave also picked up a bronze medal in the singles event where he beat Holland’s Wesley Harmes and England’s Glen Durrant, who has just lost in the semi-finals at the Lakeside World Championships. Dave plays locally for the Bulls Head in Foolow in the Tideswell League and the Mechanics Club in Eyam for their local league. He also plays for The Grouse at Darley Dale in the Derbyshire Superleague. The Nations cup starts on Friday February 20th and finishes on Sunday 22nd. It is yet to be decided if it will be shown live on British Eurosports or whether it will be streamed live on the internet. For more details on live coverage you can check BDO darts website.

The most published artist in the UK, her work sells in over eighty countries worldwide. She is patron of the Wildlife Art Society International, and Derby University recently awarded her an honorary degree in recognition of her outstanding achievements in the arts. A familiar face on TV, her most recent documentary about her work ‘made in England’ was recently broadcast on BBC1. Giant Pandas and Sleeping Dragons Pollyanna’s most famous talk tells the story of a remarkable journey into China to study and paint Giant Pandas. Accompanied by her daughter and business partner Anna-Louise, she travelled into one of the remotest areas of the Tibetan Borderlands in her quest to paint one of the most iconic and elusive of all animals. The two became the first western women ever to travel into an isolated mountain reserve, where they were lucky enough to be able to work in a small hospital for sick pandas, bringing them into remarkably close contact with one of the rarest animals on Earth. This enchanting talk tells the story of their journey – from the hardships and frustrations to the lasting friendships made in this enigmatic and beautiful country, and show the spectacular award-winning paintings which resulted from this trip.

Exciting New Corsa at Bristol Street Motors

Vauxhall has an all-new Corsa for 2015 and the f o u r t h generation version of the supermini not only has a new look and fresh engines but also represents a big step up in quality, writes Charles Roberts. List prices have been dramatically reduced (by nearly £3,000 in one case) even though buyers enjoy both greater quality and more equipment. You can now drive away a Corsa from £8,995. The model’s o v e r a l l dimensions are virtually the same as before but it looks larger. All body panels are new and there’s now a big difference in the appearance of the three and five-door cars. The three-door vehicles

presenting a more upmarket feel. Ample room for five passengers has long been a strength of the Corsa. There’s greater space in the back than in Ford’s similarsized Fiesta. The 2015 model is better to drive thanks to suspension changes and the new engines, including Vauxhall’s outstanding 1.0litre ecoFLEX direct injection turbocharged petrol power plant. This is the first of a new family of small petrol engines and I had the joy of putting it to the test when I drove a sporty SRi newgeneration Corsa. I was bowled over by the way the 115PS version of the 998cc unit delivered outstanding in-gear acceleration for a power plant of its size even in higher gears. It was also remarkably quiet. This may be the smallest engine in the launch line-up but if offers the highest

performance with Vauxhall quoting a top speed of 121mph with rest to 62mph acceleration in 10.4 seconds. There’s also the promise of excellent fuel economy. A 64.2mpg combined fuel consumption figure has been achieved in the case of the £14,025 SRi I drove with C02 emissions of 104 g/km. Choose the ecoFLEX engine in 90PS form and C02 emissions are as low as 100g/km. Want even lower emissions as well as better economy? An improved 1.3 CDTi diesel engine in the little car has achieved 88.3 mpg with Co2 emissions as low as 85g/km. The line-up has been vastly simplified with half as many versions as before and there are nine rather than 10 trim levels. Take your pick from Life, Sting, Sting R, Design, SRi, Excite, SE, SRi VX Line and Limited Edition cars.

is a joint-venture business, owned by Carrs Milling Industries PLC and Edward Billington & Sons of Liverpool. Carrs Billington traces its history back to Quaker Johnathan Dodgson Carr who started a bakery in 1831 in Carlisle to create

employment in the area and to make good, cheap bread to feed the poor. The world famous Carrs Water Biscuit is still available in supermarkets today. Over the years the bakery added flour milling to their business, which led to feed mills and the supply of animal feed to farmers and smallholders. The company has developed and expanded over the years and added to its product offering and now prides itself on being a one stop shop to farmers whilst still maintaining the founding ethics of good service, reliability and fair trading throughout all of

their 26 country stores. Two of these country stores are situated in Bakewell and Leek where you will find all the products you expect to at a good agricultural merchant, such as cattle, equine and poultry feed, but you can also find additional horse riding

supplies such as Amigo rugs, bridles and NAF supplements. If you prefer to tend your garden we carry a wide range of wheelbarrows, grass seeds for patching to re-seeding a complete paddock, and pest control and many other items to assist the keen gardener. To keep you protected against the elements there is plenty of clothing to choose from with fleeces, waterproof jackets and wellies. If you have pets then we would recommend coming and having a chat with the specially qualified staff about dogs, cats and horses, and animal health

medicines such as wormers and flea and tick control. Carrs Billington also provide Ruminant compound feeds which are manufactured at Carlisle, Lancaster and Stone, blends and specialist coarse mixes which are manufactured at Kirkbride, Lancaster, Newtown and Carmarthen. The company continues to invest in its production sites ensuring unrivalled product quality and delivery service. A team of nutritionists formulate the feeds in line with the latest research and development, constantly updating the ranges so that there is a product which will exactly meet your requirements.

What follows is a stormy relationship with this literary giant who provides her with a life few women of her time can enjoy. Yet, Ellen is equally revolted by Charles’ emotional cruelty and determination to keep her secret. In that conflict, Ellen must judge her own role in her life and decide if the price she pays is bearable.

Firewood suppliers should be able to tell you which logs they offer. While we’re on the subject of trees, now is the perfect time of year to plant an apple tree – if the ground isn’t frozen solid! Planting a fruit tree is one of the best things you can do to help encourage wildlife into the garden. Bumblebees and other pollinating insects will be attracted to the blossoms in spring, and in autumn birds will enjoy the fruit – blackbirds and thrushes, in particular, like to peck at apples left on the tree. And apple trees are a good source of kindling – branches pruned in the spring can be stored for use the following winter. One of our favourite apple varieties – and one

LOS PICOS vs THE PEAK The National Park of Los Picos de Europa lies fifteen miles inland of the Costa Verde, about one and a half hours drive, mostly by motorway, from the port of Santander. It’s a place I like to call ‘mi paraíso español’ – my Spanish paradise. I’ve been coming here for my annual holiday every year for the past four years and I’ll be going again for the forseeable future. But, how does it compare to our own national park, the Peak District? Is the grass really greener on the other side of the Biscay? Although Los Picos may cover less than half the area of its English counterpart its features are more than amply doubled in every conceivable dimension. At least thirty-eight of its mountains are four times higher than the anticlimactic trig point of our one and only Kinder. Their silver-blue summits of karstic limestone, sharp as the teeth of a piranha, plummet into tremendous chasms that dwarf Dovedale without exaggeration by a factor of fifteen. But, if Los Picos trumps on topography we tramp all over it – literally – in terms of popularity. Approximately eight people visit the Peak District to every one that visits Los

Picos – A ratio which means there’s more room for me!

The economic benefits of 8.75 million tourists per year

may be self evident in the Peak but so is the

congestion. There are about as many vehicles on the principal roads of El Parque Nacional de Los Picos de Europa in the rush hour as there are on the Snake Pass on a Saturday morning! Its quiescence can be attributed in no small part to the number of its inhabitants: 1,697. (Yes, you read correctly!) The Peak District has over 37,000. This does not imply that Los Picos is a third-world wilderness. There are restaurants virtually around every corner. Oseja de Sajambre, a village the size of Birchover has no fewer than three. And with cigars and wine at half the price and diesel a pound a litre, Los Picos is most definitely civilised! Unemployment, however, is rife. Since the global financial crisis of 2008 one out of every four people in Spain is in receipt of benefit. Which, on that sad statistic, brings me back to my opening query: Is the grass really greener? Basing my

Ashbourne Animal Welfare’s rescue centre ‘The Ark’ is, as usual, full of unwanted or stray cats and dogs, all with ‘lonely hearts’ patiently waiting for loving new homes. So come along and let one of them steal your heart on Sunday 8th February when the charity has a Be My Valentine Open Day at The Ark. The rescue centre is open from 11am until 4pm and visitors can have a look round the cattery and kennels and hopefully fall in love with one of the current residents. In addition, there are delicious homemade lunches and teas, gifts and lots of books, bric-a-brac and toys to buy. The Ark is home to many super cats and dogs, all of whom are keeping their paws crossed that they will be ‘just the one‘ for you! There are many waiting to capture your heart, so do please try to come along on Sunday to meet some of them …they are lonely hearts just waiting for you!

If you cannot have a pet of your own, how about joining the Long Stay Cat or Dog Sponsorship Scheme? This only costs £2 per month and you can have a dog or cat of

your own – even if it’s only on paper! Sponsors receive the charity’s regular newsletters and a colour certificate of their chosen cat or dog. If you are interested in

any of The Ark’s lonely hearts please ring 01335 300825 for dogs and 01335 300494 for cats or visit www.ashbourneanimalwel fare.org where you can find

deduction on the number of properties abandoned, closed down or up for sale, people’s homes, the clothes they wore and the cars they drove, the standard of wealth in the Peak is commensurate to the poverty level on the Peninsula. I only know of one ex-pat with whom I’m acquainted who has resided in Los Picos for some twenty-five years. Naturalist Teresa Farino in her own words ‘ekes out a living’ as a wildlife guide (and believe me it has a lot). The Peak District may not be quite as ecologically rich but its economy is at least secure. Living in Los Picos must be like living with a pride of lions: a wonderful thing to photograph but not one for the faint-hearted !

INTERNATIONAL ROTARY HONOUR FOR BASLOW BIOLOGIST

Long-distance charity cyclist David Cook of Baslow, Derbyshire, has become one of the first people in the country to be honoured with a prestigious Rotary International Global Scholarship. It will enable him to spend two years studying for an MSc in Environmental and Geographical Sciences at the University of Cape Town which enjoys a world-wide reputation for excellence. A delighted Dave said this week: “I was amazed when I heard the news. The scholarship will provide me with an opportunity to help with a wide array of sustainable farming and environmental issues in South Africa and, in the longer term, to contribute towards the outstanding work already being undertaken by Rotary to resolve some of the

world’s most pressing humanitarian issues.” Former Sheffield University biology graduate Dave recently returned to his home in Eaton Hill, Baslow, after leading an eight-month charity cycle ride through eight countries in South East Asia. One

object of the expedition was to raise awareness of (and funds for) Wirksworth Rotary Club’s life-saving Aquabox project. Members of the Rotary Club of Bakewell initially nominated Dave for the new-style scholarship (formerly known as a Rotary

Ambassadorial Scholarship) and this was backed by Rotary’s District 1220 (which covers Notts, Derbys and parts of Leics and Staffs). “I’m extremely grateful to Bakewell club Past President Richard Carter and Peter Moralee, the Immediate Past District Governor, for their support in securing this i n c r e d i b l e scholarship,” said 23-year-old Dave, a former student at Bakewell’s Lady Manners School. “It will cover all my t u i t i o n , a c c o m m o d at i o n and living expenses as well as my travel costs and books.” Dave’s ultimate ambition is to work for the UN food council in the field of sustainable food production and world food security – and to become a Rotarian. He flies out to Cape Town on February 5.

This year the National Trust at Longshaw celebrates the amazing lives of birds. Longshaw, Burbage and Eastern Moors are home to many rare and special birds, including the Ring Ouzel and Pied Flycatcher. The land is carefully managed by rangers to benefit our feathered friends, and includes several SSSIs. A flock of events in 2015 will explore the fascinating variety and resilience of moorland and woodland birds. Long term Visitor Experience Volunteer Megan Carroll is co-ordinating the project as part of her placement with the National Trust. “I’m very excited about the year ahead,” she says, “I’ve always been a bird fanatic, and I know this enthusiasm takes hold of visitors of all ages and levels of knowledge”. Longshaw is proud of its healthy population of the nationally scarce Pied Flycatcher. These tiny black and white birds migrate from Africa to breed in food-rich Padley Gorge, hunting for caterpillars in the early morning. National Trust rangers have provided special nest boxes for them, and bung up the entrance holes to prevent other, less rare, species from taking over before the flycatchers have

LONGSHAW YEAR OF BIRDS FLYING AHEAD chance to arrive from Africa. When the migrants return in April, the holes are unbunged and they can move in. Similarly, the rangers manage the moorland to be perfect for lapwings and curlews, wading birds which spend the winter at the coast and return to the moors to breed. Local climbing and running groups also play their part, by giving the secretive Ring Ouzel a respectful berth during its breeding season on Burbage and Stanage. The Year of Birds took off with the Festival of Birds on Saturday 24th January, with a guided walk in the morning, and talk by local Ring Ouzel specialist Bill Gordon and ranger John Mead in the afternoon. Other events throughout the year include ringing demonstrations, surveying walks, and bird box building, plus spotter sheets available from the Visitor Centre. It’s an exciting year to be winging it. Muck In Day – Eastern Moors – 15/2/2015, 8.0010.00am. Bird box building and bird ringing at Shillito Woods. Free (with charge for bird boxes). Meet at Shillito

– Longshaw – 28/2/2015, 8am-12pm. See birds as you’ve never seen them before, getting up close and personal with Longshaw’s feathered friends with local bird ringer Bryn Roberts. Free. Meet near Longshaw Visitor Centre.

HOPE VALLEY U3A

The University of the Third Age (U3A) is a movement dedicated to promoting lifelong learning in a sociable environment, utilising the enthusiasm and expertise of its members. The new Hope Valley branch of the U3A embraces that philosophy whole heartedly. Since our inaugural meeting in Hathersage on 17th July 2014 we have enrolled over 150 members and launched 13 interest groups. If you are retired or semi-retired and would like to share your interests with like-minded people then do consider joining the Hope Valley U3A. Open Meetings Our monthly Open Meetings are held on the third Thursday of each month, in either Hathersage or Hope. The Hathersage meetings commence at 2.00pm and start with an outside speaker. The speaker at our January meeting, with over 50 members present, was Janet Scott, Senior Librarian at Chesterfield Library, who spoke about Derbyshire’s Library Service

Chairwoman June Walker thanking Janet Scott of Derbyshire Library Services for her talk which, despite cut backs, still has lots to offer. The Hope meetings start at 2.30pm. There is no speaker. At either location you can enjoy a cup of tea and explore the Interest Groups already in existence. The next Hope Meeting is on 19th February at Loxley Hall at 2.30pm. The next Hathersage meeting is on 19th March at The Memorial Hall at 2.00pm when guest speaker Martin Rigney will be talking about “How to survive open heart surgery” and keep smiling!

Get Functional When it is time to get back into shape, burn off those pounds that accumulated over Christmas, most people think about just using gym machines. After all, when you walk into your local gym you see all the shiny equipment. How could you not get fit, burn fat and build muscle? When you exercise and train, your body makes changes due to the stress placed on it. It will build muscle, burn fat, improve cardiovascular function and more. So you are better prepared for the activity in the future. But here is the thing: the improvements your body makes are specific to the activity. So, when you train on machines in the gym, your body only gets better at

training on machines in the gym. Conventional classes like aerobics, Zumba etc might be adequate for maintaining a reasonable level of health but they don’t necessarily burn many calories. Some class participants might think they can have a couple of glasses of wine tonight because they’ve been to a Zumba class. Well those glasses of wine probably have more calories than they’ve burnt off by doing the class! The Woodlands Fitness Centre has been based at the Peak Village Shopping Centre for almost 15 years.

Saint Valentine since the martyrdom of this Italian Bishop in the third century AD. Saint Valentine is said to have assured eternal love to a young couple by giving them a flower from his garden. Also believed to be the day on which birds choose their mates for the coming year, February 14th was to become special to sweethearts. It would be the supposedly unromantic English who adopted the tradition of sending a written message to the object of their affections on this date. The world’s earliest surviving paper Valentine was written on 14 February 1477 by a lady named Margery Brews. Her message of love was an appeal to a rather reluctant John Paston, whose father – a well-todo Norfolk squire – looked down his nose at Margery’s meagre dowry. Young John must have given Margery some cause to believe that he cared for her, yet she had to use all her feminine wiles to overcome his resistance, imploring: ‘But if you love me, as I trust verily that you do, you will not leave me therefore. For even if you had not half the livelihood that you have, for to do the greatest labour that any woman alive might, I would not forsake you ... And I beseech you that this bill will not be seen by any other earthly creature, save only yourself.’ Closer research into the story reveals that John Paston had virtually proposed marriage to no less than ten women in the year before he met Miss Brews, even writing at one stage to his brother: ‘I pray, get us a wife somewhere.’ So by the spring of 1477 he must have been more desperate than he was letting on. At any rate he took Margery for his wife and in due course she bore him two sons. During the year 2000, her heart-rending Valentine was put on display at the British Library. Julie Bunting

Church Congregation up Main Street for a 10 am Sunday under a beautiful blue sky, the footsteps reflected in snow. After some very chilly nights a soft white covering sprinkled the village in the early hours of the Sunday morning. The thin covering was not sticky enough for the children’s snowballs. Vicar John Fountain was at the doors of St John’s to

greet Chelmorton folk at the 10am service. The golden locust of the spire reflecting across the Low. Few cars were about in what was a beautiful morning and a proper white covering, but the paths soon dug back and the linear village of Chelmorton opened for some serious sledging on the steep hillsides of Main street.

The Soroptimist International Club of Buxton have sent a staggering 32 packs to Mary’s Meals this month!! The club is supporting Mary's Meals, the charity which supports Third World children. Each child is given a back pack with clothes and equipment to enable them to attend school. At the schools

each child is given a “Mary's Meal”, which consists of a high calorie mug of porridge, which is for most of them the only food they receive each day. The packs contain so much material that it is usual for schools and other organisations to send ten at a time, as it takes time and effort to collect all the items needed.

If you are on a waiting list for an allotment, you are in good company. According to a famous TV chef and smallholder, there were recently around 100,000 people on waiting lists across the country. Those who have been beavering away on their plot for years are entitled to feel very pleased with their efforts. Obvious advantages aside, allotment holders maintain a tradition that ‘took root’ during the economic hardships of WW1 and the subsequent economic depression. During the early 1930s, the Society of Friends instigated a scheme aimed at providing every unemployed person the chance of an allotment. Local authorities were expected to find suitable land, while the Society of Friends would provide seeds, fertilisers and tools at very cheap rates. Useful literature and order forms were freely available from the Rural Community Council, which also arranged for speakers to visit any group interested in a scheme that offered the ‘double advantage of providing the

unemployed with a useful occupation and of ensuring a full supply of fresh garden food later in the year.’ In April 1934, the RCC agreed to act as honorary administrator for the Society of Friends Seeds Scheme for unemployed men and women. The movement grew apace; new land was made available for allotments as volunteer societies helped with local administration. Tens of thousands of people across the country got stuck in. ‘Buy British’ In Derbyshire alone, more than 60 tons of seed potatoes, over 70 tons of lime, 1,000 bags of fertiliser, 500 spades, 400 forks and thousands of packets of low priced seeds were distributed amongst the unemployed. The total spent in this first season exceeded £600. By autumn the Society of Friends was providing growers with collecting cards, enabling them to pay small weekly sums towards the purchase of supplies at reduced rates. Seed potatoes would be available at 6d per stone, packets of seeds from 6d to 1/6d, spades

and forks 2 shillings each, fertiliser 2 shillings a bag and lime 1 shilling per cwt. Local firms took the opportunity to promote patriotism. Porters’ Poultry Mashes guaranteed their exclusive use of English milled wheat etc. Bailey’s mill, with depots at Matlock, Bakewell, Wirksworth and Cromford, affirmed that they used only English wheat flour and raising ingredients – bagged in paper and linen bags made in England. Pig, poultry and rabbits With the outbreak of WW2, it became essential to produce as much food as possible on home soil. The importance of allotments is exemplified in the publication After Seth (Bradwell Historical Society, 2008). The declared aim of Bradwell Home Produce and Allotments Society was ‘to promote the interest of Allotment Holders, Gardeners, Pig, Poultry and Rabbit Keepers’. The group set up a distribution depot at Town Head for the supply of lime, fertilisers and seed potatoes. Allotments were already in use on Netherside and more were

being established locally, including an area of Town Bottom playing field. Tenants extended to Bradwell County Council School, paying half-acrown a week rent; other adult individuals paid 5 shillings. By 1943 membership had reached 120. Further allotments lay down Soft Water Lane ‘ … and in general vegetables were grown on any available small plot of land throughout Bradwell.’ The Town Bottom allotments were intended to be handed back after the war but some remained in use until around 1950. More than half a century on, there is fresh appreciation across the country for a small plot of land on which to ‘grow your own’. Our photograph shows allotments at Coldwell End, Youlgrave, with their water butts, greenhouses and sheds of all shapes and sizes. The inestimable values of exercise, fresh air and fresh vegetables do not come any cheaper than on an allotment – pigs, poultry and rabbits are optional extras. Julie Bunting

BAKEWELL GREEN FESTIVAL

The fourth in the series of evenings following up from the B akewe ll G r e e n Festival last July will be at the Friends Meeting H o u s e , Bakewell at 7.30pm on Tuesday February 10th. These evenings are looking in greater depth at the areas of sustainable living which formed an important part of the Festival and its concentration on local initiatives. So far we have looked at sustainable energy, local community initiatives and the unsustainable rich world/poor world divide. This time the topic will be the Environmental Quality Mark. Did you know that the Peak District has its own internationally acclaimed Eco-label? Come and discover how small local businesses and community groups have achieved the Environmental Quality Mark or “EQM” award as part of their journey towards sustainability. The Environmental Quality Mark is an award

presented by the Peak District National Park Authority to organisations that can demonstrate good practice in five key areas: 1. Supporting the local economy 2. Protecting the global environment

3. Protecting and enhancing the local environment 4. Investing in people and communities 5. Celebrating what’s special about the Peak District The EQM award scheme

has been running for over ten years and over 65 organisations hold the award in and around the Peak District. Businesses are audited every year to make sure they keep up their high environmental standards. Faith Johnson, EQM assessor, said, “It’s really inspiring working with EQM award holders, seeing what amazing things they do to protect the environment and look after the Peak District. Projects range from ‘zero fossil fuels’ onsite, to creating wildlife areas full of orchids, to partnerships with Bakewellbased Village Aid to raise money for clean water projects in Africa.” The EQM has achieved national and international recognition – being shortlisted for the Observer Ethical Awards, Virgin Responsible Travel Awards and ranked by an international think-tank in the top ten most credible Certification Schemes for Sustainable Tourism worldwide.

GROUND SOURCE HEAT PUMPS Horizontal Loop, Lake Loop and Bore Hole Systems AIR SOURCE HEAT PUMPS Single or Multiple Units MCS accredited DANFOSS approved installers

As part of the renovation of this old farmhouse near Ashbourne, the owners decided to install a new highly efficient heating system within their historic building. An original timber frame is still visible within the farmhouse which has evolved from a 300-year-old Cruck Barn. The building is now provided with heating and domestic hot water from a Danfoss Ground Source Heat-pump system supplied

and installed by Coefficient Renewable Heating. With land available for heat collecting pipework next to the farm house, a ground source heat pump system was the obvious choice. A small purpose-built shed houses the heat pump and associated cylinders, underground insulated pipework providing connection to the farmhouse to supply heat via a combination of radiators upstairs and newly installed underfloor heating pipework

in several rooms on the ground floor. This installation qualifies for Domestic RHI (Renewable Heating Incentive) payments which will offset the installation cost of this very efficient heating system. Heat your home with help from the environment. Energy available from the air or from the ground around you can be utilised by a heat pump system to provide all your heating and domestic hot water requirements. It is a very clean, reliable and economic way to heat your home, particularly so if mains gas is not available. Coefficient Renewable Heating Solutions, an MCS accredited company, have been supplying and installing Danfoss ground and air source heat pump systems within the area for several years. Installing also, if required, underfloor heating pipework. Local, experienced engineers are happy to advise. If land is available next to your property you could go for loops of pipe buried one metre down, if space is limited, the pipes

can be installed vertically in bore holes. Pipes can also be placed at the bottom of a lake if one is available. You could alternatively opt for an air source system. Heat pumps can be connected to under-floor heating pipework or appropriately sized radiators. Heat is supplied in a gradual and continuous manner, taking into account the current outdoor temperature to provide just the right amount of heat to keep your house at a comfortable temperature throughout the year. The Renewable Heat Incentive scheme for domestic properties provides a quarterly payment, for seven years, which will offset the investment in this type of heating technology. Many owners of heat pump systems are now benefitting from this incentive scheme which is, in many cases, covering the entire installation cost of the heat pump system. For further information, email: contact @coefficientheating.co.uk Web: www.coefficientheating .co.uk.Tel: 0114 327 0100

Our highly efficient Heat Pump systems provide all your heating and hot water requirements. A clean, modern and economical alternative to Oil or LPG. Installations qualify for the Renewable Heating Incentive scheme for domestic or commercial properties, providing funding over several years to offset the cost of installation.

If you’re looking for a renewable heating system it can be a rather daunting challenge to know exactly what you need and which company to go with.

Tom Mastin, the company’s MD, explains the reason for their on-going success: “We made a decision early on that we would only fit the best products, which are not the cheapest but they are far more reliable and are much more efficient than lesser products. We also remain in touch with our customers once we have installed and commissioned their system to answer any questions and to maintain their equipment. “We now also offer

service and maintenance packages, which ensure that our customers keep their equipment running as it should and this is for every type of system, including oil and LPG.� As a result of the growing workload, the company has taken on new apprentices, all of whom will be trained to the highest standards.

accreditation organisations including Gas Safe, Oftec, HETAS and NICEIC, as well as the main bodies registering the renewable heating sector: RECC (Renewable Energy Consumer Code) and MCS Microgeneration Certification Scheme).

IT’S CYCLING – BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT Forget struggling up impossibly steep hills, and lycra-clad blokes who leave nothing to the imagination. Instead, picture idyllic country lanes, freewheeling your way to work and miles of effortless riding with no aching legs to stop you. Think of all the joys of cycling, minus the sweat and the pain. An electric bike does all that. And we’re not overpromising. People with ebikes statistically use them far more frequently than those with regular bikes. Think of nipping into town to get the paper on Saturdays – The Peak Advertiser, perhaps. Or taking a picnic down to that blissful looking wood you once saw. A bike you’d actually ride! And enjoy riding! Imagine. And with this bike would come that ‘green living’ lifestyle – you always reckoned it would suit you.

hoardings capsized. All routes across the High Peak were soon impassable, drifts filling up cuttings as fast as they were being dug – the only snow ploughs in those days were horse-drawn. For three days all attempts to keep roads open were thwarted, even though hundreds of quarry workers were diverted to snow clearance alongside men normally out of work. Matlock Highway Department set on a hundred unemployed men, reported to be ‘thankful for the chance to do a little honest work’. Touching the telegraph wires Dozens of lorries and smaller vehicles were stranded on the Leek and Buxton roads out of Ashbourne as occupants fought their way to the nearest inn or farmhouse. Vehicles stood abandoned in Chatsworth Park for days, while a Woolliscroft’s bus taking workers to Friden brickworks had to be left to its fate on the moors. Staff from Hartington Co-op just managed to reach their home villages of Youlgrave and Darley Dale on the Friday afternoon. Bradwell folk employed at Bamford Mill struggled to get to work as best they could, those who made it arrived completely exhausted. Bonsall leadminers were compelled to stay at Mill Close Mine overnight. Back in their home village, the ‘Red Triangle’ hut collapsed under the weight of the snow, engulfing furniture, two pianos and a billiard table. Heavy snowfalls brought down mile upon mile of telegraph wires. Twenty-four out of twenty-eight wires fell at Ashford. At Youlgrave a telegraph pole fell across Alport Lane; the pole at the post office tilted dangerously and Church Street was strewn with wires. Meanwhile over four feet of snow settled on the main street as the village lost its electricity supply. Dr Harrison of Youlgrave bravely set out on horseback to visit patients around Hartington but was unseated several times before being forced to turn back. As the hours passed, one village after another became cut off – Eyam, Stanton in Peak, Cressbrook, Wardlow, Litton, Over Haddon, Longnor, Brassington, Wormhill and the rest. Drifts reached 15 feet on Matlock Moor, Lumsdale and Riber, touching the telegraph wires. One Lumsdale man awoke on Sunday morning to find his cottage completely buried apart from the chimney pot. On the Friday morning a new landlord had moved into the Druid Inn at Birchover, his doors and windows soon to be completely blocked, and it was two days before a neighbouring farmer thought to dig a trench to the pub to see if all was well.

He found the newcomer alone and famished, so trudged back to fetch some eggs and bacon, earning himself a drink on the house. A summons and a posse Although roads into

from Tideswell. It took eight hours to cover the eleven miles; on their return they had to abandon the van at Wardlow and start walking. A search party found them on the verge of collapse after an alarm was raised. Mr Kiddy, a travelling Tansley pork butcher, was trapped at Brassington until the Tuesday, when villagers dug a passage through the drifts for him on condition that he returned with some much needed sustenance. Mr Kiddy made it home and kept his word. By now the blizzard had blown itself out, to be followed by a fast thaw – so fast that the beleaguered folk of the Peak soon had another problem to contend with, but we do not need to look back that far to recall what floods can do.

hundreds of sheep from higher ground where drifts easily reached 12 feet. Dairy farmers were unable to despatch their milk and for several days only about 30 of around a thousand farms across the Peak were able to get their milk to the dairies. Hour after hour, horizontal sheets of snow swept over towns and villages, blocking up doors and windows. In Buxton many of the hotels’ ornate glass verandahs collapsed under the weight and heavy advertising

some congregations numbered just two. At Castleton, devoid of electricity, old oil lamps were brought out of storage for the evening church service. A hundred workmen living in huts during the Goyt Valley reservoir scheme grew desperately short of food. A message somehow reached Buxton, where a posse of eight men loaded up their horses with provisions and got through to the shanty town after a formidable four-hour ride. Supplies also ran out at Flash and an aeroplane was chartered to deliver food; villagers lit a fire in a bucket to guide the pilot towards a deep snowdrift where the parcels could be dropped.

At the time of writing, the forecasted snow may be on its way, in time for the weekend as usual. That particular inconvenience apart, history shows that some of our worst winter weather has struck in the month of February. The legendary winter of 1947 comes to mind, while more than one reader has told us of blizzards which blotted out the Peak in February 1933. The previous month had seen such low temperatures that skating enthusiasts were out in abundance, as at Ashbourne where the fishpond in the park and many other large ponds were well patronised. The thaw set in at the end of January but this mild spell ended with a vengeance on Friday 24 February with the start of The Great Blizzard. Aided by gales, the blizzard raged throughout Saturday and Sunday for 53 hours without a break. Quarries came to a complete standstill, schools closed and street lights were dead. Farmers found themselves out in the thick of blinding snowstorms, rescuing many

Bakewell were impassable, one milkman managed to make a few deliveries on a wooden door pulled by a horse. Monday market was a poor affair; the auctioneer’s worthy efforts in getting to work were rewarded with only 30 sheep and 3 beasts. The most newsworthy local story told how a dutiful police officer of Bakewell division had served a summons by borrowing a horse and delivering it on horseback. It took him five hours. The weather was possibly behind a tragedy on the Saturday when Frederick Valentine Smith, a 59-yearold joiner from Bakewell’s Rutland Works, fell from the roof of Haddon Hall and died of his injuries. No-one actually perished during the Peak blizzards but one young man had a close shave. He had been staying at the Cooperative Holidays Association Centre in Hope and on the Sunday afternoon set out with three companions to walk over Lose Hill. They somehow got separated and a search was raised, the youth eventually being found half-dead in a snowdrift. At Hulland, farmer Gregory’s son suffered a broken leg while trying to move a fallen branch of yew that had collapsed under the weight of the snow. Two horses met a speedy end after eating the foliage. Saturday weddings were postponed at Ashford and Hathersage. The funeral cortege of an elderly woman from Windmill had to turn back, and the burial of Mrs Elizabeth Whittle at Tideswell was also postponed – the church bell was rung every day until it did take place. At Cratcliffe a narrow cutting was made to allow the coffin of Joseph Webster to be carried to Elton for interment. A fire in a bucket Come Sunday, church and chapel services were not lightly abandoned, though

wrong! Uppertown is where the original settlement of ‘Barcovere’, as stated in the Domesday Book, was located before being moved half a mile or so to the north. The old building next to the restored stocks was believed to be an inn and reputedly contains a built-in cupboard carved with the date AD1571. Fragments of masonry found nearby with ornamental carving are thought to have been part of

a Norman church long since demolished. The old road leading down to Darley Dale through Clough Wood was certainly an early highway along Birchover Edge but why the village was relocated is a bit of a mystery. Instead of descending into the village I turned left just before the old stocks to follow the muddy footpath through fields to Rocking Stone Farm along what was long ago the coach road. Along the way I saw surviving old gate posts and stone pavers now incorporated into the path. Across the valley I could clearly make out the goalpost stacks of Robin Hood’s Stride, known as Weasel and Inaccessible. with Cratcliff Rocks rising above the trees alongside. From here my route headed to Birchover up the narrow lane beside the magnificent Vicarage which for a time was home to Brian Clarke, the architectural artist who has become a world authority on stained glass. Examples of his work can be found in the little church alongside as well as the wonderful vaulted ceiling of Cavendish Arcade at Buxton, which contains his red cross signature incorporated into the design. Up to my left and almost hidden by trees were Rowtor Rocks and the Druid Stones, a giant mound of mosscovered gritstone boulders and bastions of rock with a vague connection to druidical practices. There are rooms, stone steps and seats as well as bizarre carvings thought to be the work of Thomas Eyre, a local parson some three hundred years ago.

narrow lane to Birchover which as always was awash with puddles. The steep bank to Uppertown is always a challenge, not only due to the huff and puff ascent but because I needed to get through the tight, high-sided holloway before a vehicle decided to try to squeeze past. Either side of me were large loose stones in the retaining walls that were patterned with painted grooves from vehicles that over the years have got it

Beyond the former Birchover School of 1881, Reading Room of 1907 and the Druid Inn I headed for a welcome break beside the log burning stove of the Red Lion, where I thawed out on a delicious bowl of homemade butternut squash soup with ciabatta bread and a side order of cheese. Enterprising and innovative, Matteo Frau the landlord has developed Birchover Blue which is fast gaining recognition and tastes delicious. Well nourished and warm again I set off up the village with the intention of venturing onto Stanton Moor but the weather had changed, going very cold, overcast and looking like snow, so I curtailed my plans for a lengthy hike into an afternoon amble. Next I made my way through the Barn Farm camping complex which is mainly in winter hibernation but will no doubt be ready to greet a new influx of visitors once spring arrives. Turning right after the barn I then followed another muddy footpath over fields to cross Clough Lane before dropping down over Birchover Edge. From here my return to Winster was through boggy pasture mud and gloop before heading up Woodhouse Lane, emerging beside the lovely little Village Shop. On Tuesday February 17th the Main Street will be the setting for the Shrovetide Pancake Races, a tradition that dates back over a century and claims to be one of the oldest such races in the country. Winster’s other claim to fame is its Secret Gardens event in July when the public are permitted to mosey around and nosey around in some normally private places to admire and appreciate the impressive gardens in their most colourful greenfingered glory! My plan is to return, but for now I was content to make my way with my camera up East Bank and to capture yet more images of this quaint and quintessential Peak District village. Sally Mosley

Winster must surely be one of the most photogenic villages in the Peak District. Although currently in the throes of winter so with few flowers or leaves on the trees, Winster radiated warmth and colour for my visit through a succession of gaily painted doors as well as cheerful and often amusing house name plates. It was a delight to wander around the ginnels, alleyways and yards of this spick and span settlement which simply oozes charm and friendliness. After parking high up at the bottle bank car park and admiring the wondrous views I headed off past the Old Parish Poorhouse to the Ore House where miners would have deposited their valuable ore for safe keeping overnight. Sunlight shining through the bars was perfectly aligned to capture an image of the barrel topped ceiling and chute at the back which is normally deep in shadow. Nearby is the 17th century Miners Standard pub, named after the dish traditionally used to measure lead ore. The road down West Bank is steep but led me past the former Wesleyan Chapel of 1837 with attractive Venetian windows. Around the corner below is the Old Shoulder of Mutton, its name carved into a block of gritstone beside the main door. Now a beautiful B&B this was originally one of many brew houses to be found in the village at a time when miners believed regularly swigging back tankards of ale would prevent them dying from lead poisoning! Cutting through between Richfield (probably built on the profits from a particularly productive mine) and the wonderful 17th century Dower House which has amazing strips of higgledy piggledy early windows at the rear, I walked past the Church of St John the Baptist on a shortcut to Elton road. My route now was to walk past the entrance to Oddo House and the cemetery beyond, then follow the
