Little Green Space Things are often quite quiet in the garden in February. It’s still too cold to sow seeds outside, the grass doesn’t need mowing and the weeds haven’t started to grow – yet. So this is the ideal time of year to take stock of your garden and think about adding any major features – a pond, perhaps. Building a pond in your garden is one of the best things you can do to help wildlife. Water is essential for frogs and toads – they wouldn’t be able to breed without it. Frogs and toads may not be the most glamorous creatures, but they are useful allies in the garden as they gobble up pests such as slugs and snails. The sad fact is that frogs and other pond-dwellers don’t have a great deal of choice when it comes to choosing a home. The number of countryside ponds

is falling, and pollution affects many that are left. According to Freshwater Habitats Trust (www.freshwaterhabitats.org. uk), freshwater and wetland habitats such as ponds, rivers and streams support about 10 per cent of the UK’s wildlife, but cover only three per cent of the country’s land surface. On farms alone, 227,000 ponds were lost between 1945 and 1998. Many wetland species have shown decline over the past 50 years, and some are threatened with global extinction. This means that frogs, toads and newts – along with numerous other aquatic creatures – are increasingly relying on garden ponds for their survival. So putting a pond in your garden is an enormously helpful thing to do. Full of life Ponds are full of life: pond

skaters, water boatmen and the larvae of damselflies and dragonflies will often be seen darting around in the water. And ponds attract many airborne insects – including colourful dragonflies and damselflies – which in turn will attract bats, swifts and swallows. Other animals rely on ponds too – mammals like hedgehogs and foxes will stop by for a drink, and birds will bathe in the water. You don’t need a lot of space to put in a pond. Preformed ponds are available in sizes as small as a metre wide, and are quick and easy to install. Just a small water feature – or even a birdbath – will increase the number of wild visitors to your garden. Of course if you do have space, the bigger the pond, the more wildlife will be attracted – and a large wildlife pond could provide a stunning feature in your garden. With the construction of any wildlife pond, there are a few important points to be aware of. First, it’s essential to have areas of shallow water at the edges of the pond. If the pond’s sides are too steep, visiting wildlife will struggle to get out if they fall in – and hedgehogs and other small mammals may even drown. Putting in some native plants, such as starwort or water crowfoot, will oxygenate the water, keeping it naturally clear and clean.

Some non-native plant species, however, are invasive and should be avoided. Parrot’s feather (myriophyllum aquaticum), for example, is a highly invasive pond plant sometimes sold as an “oxygenator” in garden centres, but could actually do more harm than good – it spreads rapidly and cuts out the light, affecting oxygen levels and harming aquatic plants and animals. Ponds are very attractive to young children, especially when the water is teeming with fascinating creatures. Pond dipping is a fun and educational activity, but children should always be carefully supervised near water, even if the pond is shallow.

Serving coffee, planting bulbs, delivering meals-onwheels, sharing in home communion services, making jam and cakes for fundraising, holding a hand, mending clothes, playing cards, reading the paper, playing the piano, filling bird feeders. Where do you find people doing these diverse voluntary activities in Great Longstone? – Answer – Thornhill House Nursing and Residential Home. Thornhill House’s not-forprofit philosophy welcomes local people as well as families and friends of residents who have a few hours to spare to provide extra support which enhances lives in and around the care home. Each midweek afternoon you will find Claire, activities co-ordinator, energising the residents with various enriching activities which often benefit from an extra pair of hands. This is especially so if it’s an outdoor visit where individual residents may need some help with their wheelchair or getting in and out of a vehicle. Those who help in this way get special training to ensure the resident and the helper are safe. Last year 8 residents had a wonderful day out at Cleethorpes where they enjoyed the bracing sea air and traditional fish and chips. This would not have

been possible without the help of the volunteers. Volunteering not only benefits the receiver but also the volunteer. People can benefit from getting out and helping others. Working for the benefit of others raises the spirit and is inclusive. Thornhill House also welcomes young volunteers as part of the Duke of Edinburgh Scheme or work experience from school in the afternoons to help with activities. Volunteers who serve morning coffee or help with activities enjoy the

Looking into the lore of Leap Year or, more correctly, bissextile year, unearths some odd facts. Historically the extra day fell on 24 February - at least that’s the way the Romans saw it. It was Julius Caesar who, on studying Egyptian astronomical knowledge, realised that an extra day was needed on the calendar every four years to keep it in line with the heavens. This, the quadrennial rule, had been decreed by Ptolemy 111 in 238 BC but to little effect. In any case, the early Roman calendar was in serious need of reform. Consisting of 355 days, it was 10 and a-quarter days short of a true year. Every now and then the Romans used up the shortfall by giving themselves an extra month at the end of their year, ‘terminalia’, which followed February 23 or 24. Confusingly, this resulted in certain years having thirteen months. It was not like the Romans to be so imprecise but things caught up with them as the seasons and calendar grew further and further apart. The solution was simple: Caesar decreed that the year 46 BC would consist of 460 days. Every year thereafter was to have 365 days – with only 28 in February. But that still left a quarter of a day unaccounted for. There was nothing for it but to add a whole day every four years. A muddle The plan did not go too smoothly because the Senate got into a muddle after Caesar’s death. Furthermore, the Romans used an 8-day week – each day being attributed with a letter between A and H, revolving continuously throughout the year. Inasmuch as the 1st of January was always A, the 1st of March was always D – except that this was thrown out of sync in a Leap Year. The solution? Every fourth year the 24 and 25 February were to be viewed as a single day. Hence the term ‘bissextile year’. Bis means twice, sextile refers to sixth. The sixth day when counted backwards from 1 March (inclusively) arrived at the double-length day. For hundreds of years, in line with Caesar’s decree, this ‘leap day’ followed the terminalia of 24/25 February – exactly where the Romans

used to insert the odd spare month. This state of affairs kept everyone reasonably happy until 1751, when an Act of Parliament brought Britain into line with the Gregorian calendar. Henceforth the additional day was to be 29 February. As for the old tactic of identifying a Leap Year by checking whether it’s exactly divisible by four – 2016 for example – there is even an exception to this rule. A centesimal year (one with two noughts on the end) is a Leap Year only if it is exactly divisible by 400! We witnessed this rarity in 2000 but the next instance will not come around until 2400. It’s all to do with balancing the hours so that we never let time run away with us again. Julie Bunting

opportunity to talk with residents about their early lives, their families, their previous work or their special interests. Thornhill House residents past and present have had a wide range of life experiences from which to learn, for example: a cricketer, a farmer, a gardener, a painter, a musician, an architect, a teacher, a hospital matron have at some time lived at Thornhill House. Their stories add to the wealth of local history knowledge that the volunteers gain from working with residents and staff at Thornhill House. Only today, over tea and biscuits, I learned a

wonderful story from the 19th Century from a resident after helping with the afternoon’s Chinese New Year activities. For Valentine’s Day the residents will be writing love stories, you will have to wait for its publication before you read the true love story I heard today.

LIVE & LOCAL IN TADDINGTON

On Thursday 17 March Spiltmilk Dance Company will present their highly acclaimed Blast from the Past in Taddington. Somewhere between a dance performance, a gameshow and the ultimate compilation album, this nostalgic, laugh out loud show is jampacked with chart toppers from 1952 to the present day; a fast-paced race through the blockbusters we all remember, and the fads and fashions we might prefer to forget. Dance Yourself Quizzy!… 'Blast From The Past' takes audiences on a glitzy, fun, and sometimes silly, journey through the music, TV, fads and fashions that have shaped British pop culture since the recorded music charts began in 1952. Each year is celebrated with a dance inspired by a key event or trend that impacted life in British living rooms that year, and is accompanied by the top selling song from the year. 60 short dances set to the top 60 tracks from the last 60 years. 1966 celebrates England's World Cup victory, accompanied by Tom Jones singing 'Green

Green Grass of Home', whilst 1981 harks back to Charles and Diana's wedding day, while 'Don't You Want Me' by The Human League plays. In true British style, 'Blast From The Past' invites audiences to team up and get stuck in with the fun, as the evening includes familiar rounds, brain teasers and challenges from iconic British TV game shows (such as 'Family Fortunes') – there will be prizes! 'What an amazing show! Our family aged from 5 to 60 all enjoyed it.' Edfringe Audience Review (on 'Spiltmilk Say Dance')

'Intricately and beautifully choreographed to create a stunning performance.' Buxton Festival Fringe Review (on '5 dances') ‘Spiltmilk Dance stick a big fat ray of sunshine into the world of contemporary dance, bringing fun and intelligence in equal measure, and entertaining audiences with its distinctive brand of intricate yet charming dance.’ At Bramwell Institute, Main Street, Taddington 7.30pm Thursday 17 March.

CHATSWORTH

FRIENDS

Dear friends, May I belatedly wish you a very Happy New Year! I hope that it has started well for you. I am writing with some very exciting dates for you to put in your diaries. We have now agreed our next three production dates with Chatsworth House: 28 September–2 October 2016, 14–18 June 2017, 18–22 October 2017. I haven’t decided on the plays we will present as yet – I will be in touch with more news on that in the Spring. As you can see, because of the ongoing renovations at Chatsworth, we could only manage one production there this year, but we hope to recompense you with an exciting new venture – rehearsed readings. We are taking inspiration from Shakespeare’s Globe – they call their rehearsed readings “Read Not Dead” and “actors are given the play on a Sunday morning and present it, script in hand, to an audience later that afternoon. What follows is a shared spirit of adventure and excitement for actors and audiences alike who sense that they might be uncovering a neglected gem.” We’re going to do a variation on that theme. We are calling ours “At home with the Chatsworth Players”, and we will read one of Alan Bennett’s Talking Heads to you while you enjoy a light supper at the lovely Biddy’s tea rooms** in Cromford. Biddy’s is run by our own dear Mel, so you’re assured of a very warm welcome. Why not bring a bottle of wine with you to increase your enjoyment? Tickets are on sale now for the princely sum of £8.50. But watch out – Biddy’s seats just 20 guests, so you need to call Mel now on 0791 902 8603 to book your place!! Your readers will be Kate (of Jane Eyre and Gaslight fame), Alicia (The Heiress) and yours truly! Biddy’s “at home” with the Chatsworth Players’ will take place from 7.30 to 9.30pm on: March 18 and April 22. If you enjoy our “at home”, we will do more for you after the September/October production – I hope it will be a nice way of entertaining you more often. I do look forward to seeing you at Biddy’s and at Chatsworth of course later in the year. With much love Sylvia

DERBYSHIRE SINGERS â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Elijahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; by Felix Mendelssohn

High drama at Highfields School, Matlock on 12th March at 7.30pm, as Elijah takes on the prophets of Baal in an oratorio full of stirring arias and choruses! The Derbyshire Singers are joined again by the Lewisham Choral Society, Lorna Anderson (soprano), Catherine Wyn-Rogers (mezzo), Andrew Mackenzie-Wicks (tenor) and Gavan Ring (bass), in this performance of Felix Mendelssohnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hugely popular work about the fickleness of public opinion and the attraction of false prophets. Elijahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s struggles against the priests of Baal for the hearts of the Israelites, faced as they are by a crippling drought, are followed by his soulsearching wanderings in the desert and final ascension to Heaven in a blazing chariot. Mendelssohnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music conveys tension, relief and praise in colourful, dramatic and fiery yet also lyrical passages which rapidly became public favourites â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the first performance lasted hours as the audience clamoured for encores. (Elijah was one of Mendelssohnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last

Lorna Anderson (soprano), Catherine Wyn-Rogers (mezzo), Andrew Mackenzie-Wicks (tenor) and Gavan Ring (bass) compositions â&#x20AC;&#x201C; devastated by the death of his sister, Fanny, he died months after its first performance at the age of 38.] The Derbyshire Singers hope to achieve the same impact but without that

length of performance! Catherine Wyn-Rogers sang with the Derbyshire Singers prior to a national and international career which has seen her appear at, amongst many other venues, La Scala Milan, The

Metropolitan Opera New York, Teatro Real of Madrid, and The Bavarian State Opera Munich. A regular performer at Covent Garden, she and Andrew Mackenzie-Wicks have appeared frequently in opera, which is where Gavan Ring, the talented young baritone, is also making his mark. Lorna Anderson, too, is a renowned performer who has sung at all the major opera houses, concert halls and major festivals throughout Europe, and who like Catherine and Andrew has enjoyed a long musical relationship with the Derbyshire Singers. They will be accompanied as always by a highly accomplished orchestra. Further details of this spectacular performance are at www.derbyshiresingers.org Tickets are priced at ÂŁ15 (Concessions ÂŁ13), with students and under-16s (if accompanied by a paying adult) gaining free entry (with ticket); they can be purchased from Robert Young Florists in Matlock, Natural Choice in Ashbourne (01335-346096), online via the website, or at the door.

PILSLEY PRIMARY SCHOOL HELP CREATE DEVONSHIRE ARMS MENU CHOICES FOR KIDS

A couple of months before we come up to a menu change in the New Year, we are always throwing ideas about to one another in the Devonshire Arms, Pilsley kitchen. We have a cosy, family atmosphere in our pub and when the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s menu came up for discussion our Head Chef thought of the great idea of having the children of

Pilsley school help create it for us! With the help of Jade Robb (Front of House Manager) a questionnaire was drawn up for the children to state their top three meal choices along with other fun facts like favourite hobby, colour, lesson and even teacher! We would like to thank the children and teachers for their contributions,

with thanks to Hamish Wood (class 4) Cordelia Whittlestone (class 4) and Olivia Shepherd (class 2) to name a few. Our new menu was created from the most popular choices, these being: Scampi, chips and peas, Sausages and Mash, Macaroni Cheese and Fish and Chips. We will be inviting two families to the pub to eat from the menu they jointly

created. Some of our personal favourite choices which didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite make it onto the menu were: Josie (age 7) whose favourite meal is Mushroom Chow Mein and favourite colour is green. Niamh (age 11) who likes Pork Belly and whose favourite teacher is Mrs Townsend, and Lawrence (age 10) who loves Sushi and IT.

CRESSBROOK FIRST RESPONDERS The group celebrates a year of first responding

First responders provide support to patients during a medical emergency pending the arrival of an ambulance or paramedic. It is a year since we set up our group and during this time we have been sent to incidents by the East Midlands Ambulance Service to give assistance to patients experiencing a range of problems including cardiac arrest, heart attack, breathing difficulties, and loss of consciousness. Locations we have been sent to are scattered right across our 75 square kilometre despatch area including Tideswell, Great and Little Longstone, Litton, Hassop, Taddington, Ashford in the Water and the Monsal Trail, and sometimes beyond, such as in Bakewell and Eyam. We currently have six fully trained volunteers providing first responder cover for between twenty and thirty hours per week. We are actively recruiting to try and enlarge the team so that we can provide cover

area as well as Cressbrook. We already have one new volunteer awaiting training who lives in Hassop. Training in basic life support and first aid is provided by the East Midlands Ambulance Service, so you don’t need previous experience. If you are the type of person who can keep their head in an emergency, and who is caring and compassionate, volunteering your time as a first responder for a few hours per week is very rewarding. You can find more information on the East Midlands Ambulance Service website in the section called ‘get involved’. If you are interested in joining your local group you can contact Cressbrook First Responder coordinator Linda Law on 01298 871860.

OUR DISAPPEARING SWIFTS

Bakewell Bird Study Group’s next meeting is on Monday March 14th. Tanya & Edmund Hoare will give a talk about swifts, familiar birds but mysterious in many ways. Swifts are amazing birds, and their screaming parties and acrobatic flight light up our skies in early summer. Tanya and Edmund have a colony of swifts nesting in the eaves of their cottage in Cumbria and many aspects of the secret lives of swifts will be revealed in this talk, illustrated with video clips from cameras installed in the nest sites. They will also describe the latest research on swift migration, obtained with the use of tiny devices called geolocators. Sadly, swifts are in serious decline and the reasons for this, and efforts to help this most aerial of our birds, will be discussed. BBSG meetings are at 7.30pm in the Friends

Meeting House off Matlock Street in Bakewell on Chapel Row next to the Methodist Church. Guests are always welcome to our talks (£2) or better still join the group. It’s only £15 per

annum and for that you get seven talks and a similar number of outdoor walks to local birding hot spots. It’s the ideal way of finding out more about birds and there are always

experienced bird watchers on hand to help with identification. Visit the BBSG web site at www.bakewellbirdstudy group.org.uk or call 01433 630467.

ACHIEVEMENT FOR RICK NAYLOR

Rick Naylor of Castle Mount Crescent, Bakewell is a founder member of the U3A Photographic group and was presented with a certificate cataloging his achievement and a trophy, presented for the first time by Paul Morgans, photographer and film maker, one of four judges. He had two best overall pictures, one taken during the Day of Dance in the town and one of his grandchild, entitled Millie Moo. He took four other pictures that were selected for the award. The challenge was to take a portrait of someone that showed his or her character or interests. Second was Pam Johns of Yeld Road, Bakewell and third Val Straw of Chatsworth Road, Rowsley. The group meets on the

first Friday of the month from 10am-12noon in the choir vestry of All Saints Church, Bakewell and is open to U3A members. It would be of interest to those wishing to improve their

photographic skills, both by taking the picture and working on it on the computer. There is a challenge to take a certain picture each month during the four weeks and then a

practical session in the group with help to improve the shot on a computer. The exhibition is in the Newark of All Saints Church and can be viewed up to the end of March

jokes nightly as Dame Trott in Jack and the Beanstalk at Hope Methodist Hall, Edale Road from Wednesday 16th to Saturday 19th March at 7.30pm (doors open at 7).

CHARLIE EATON CYCLES FOR CHARITY

“Well it started at weight watchers! I'd bought their magazine and was flicking through it at work the next day. That's where I saw an advert for cycle Madagascar. I googled it straight away and found out that it was for Macmillan Cancer Support who I know are a great charity. So I just thought yeah, I can do that! Why not! So that's it really. I don't know why I decided to do it, I'm totally unfit and very overweight but I just thought what a great opportunity to help other people, after all cancer can strike anybody; no one is immune. The advert says the bike ride is 500km which didn't really mean much so I converted it into miles, all 310 of them!! That's when I realised this was a serious commitment so I've started training every day. I've even bought an exercise bike for when it's really bad weather!! So I have no excuses now. I've set up a justgiving page so people can donate and the money goes directly to

Macmillan. My page is w w w. j u s t g i v i n g . c o m / Charlotte-Eaton1. I'm also holding a raffle and an online auction of handmade craft items. Everything from personalised plaques to money off furniture at Vintage Daisy's. Further information at https://www.facebook. com/Charlies-FundraisingPage-1668974600044940/ If anyone would like to donate money or a raffle / auction prize I would be very grateful!”

Do you dare to dance with the chance of spring and box the ears of winter? As if that's not enough, the bewitching Rachel Murray brings us Beware the Ides of March – What have the Romans ever done for us?

The Romans did many things, one of them being to take the Greek myths and make them their own. Come and hear Rachel unpick and restitch these beautiful 'second tellings' of the ancient tales.

DANCE SHOWCASE AT ANTHONY GELL SCHOOL

The 4th February saw Anthony Gell School’s first ever full dance showcase, with over 75 performers from Y7 through to Y13 and a sell-out audience of close to 200. The evening was planned to not only raise the profile of the subject with students in the school but to showcase the sheer breadth of talent within it. The original running order started at 10 numbers, this quickly grew to 33 as students began to choreograph their own routines, from solos, duets, trios and quartets. Over the three months of preparation there were pockets of students dancing all over the school at breaks and lunchtimes, ensuring that they didn’t miss out on any vital moments to rehearse. It was clear to see that the students felt empowered to express themselves through dance and they couldn’t wait for their opportunity to shine. Throughout the

Elizabeth Wilbur, Jane Martin and Joyce Butterwick receive the winning plaque. At the last meeting of this season for the Bakewell and District Historical Society, Anita Spencer, Manager of the Old House Museum, brought Society members up to date with the beetle situation at the museum. Since the dreaded carpet beetle was discovered in the museum’s extensive textile and costume collection in June 2014, a relentless campaign has been waged to eradicate these pests. We called for help from other museum and heritage experts and pest control. Following their advice we took action to check the collection and make sure it was pest-free. This entailed packing and freezing every item as well as scouring all storage areas. Museum volunteers have worked tirelessly for the last 20 months and may have to continue for another 18 months or so. We are very grateful to everyone who has helped us, textile experts

from Derbyshire Museums and Heritage Centres, including Chatsworth, the Nottingham ice-cream manufacturer who lent us a freezer before we bought our own, Mark Twelves from Riverside who loaned us a unit for storage of packets of frozen items, and Melvyn Kelly from Afterpest, who continues to work with us. Most of all we thank our own volunteers, for whom the work goes on. Our work on the project has been described by the Derbyshire museum authorities as ‘exemplary’. At the Heritage Awards we came first in the category ‘Behind the Scenes at the Museum’. Anita will be speaking about the project at the Museums and Heritage Show at Olympia in May. For further information about the museum please contact Anita Spencer on 01629 813642, or, about the Historical Society, Jan Stetka on 01629 813727.

On Saturday 5th March, Buxton Field Club, together with members from Derbyshire Ornithological Society, will be hearing about Yardley Chase which is in s o u t h - e a s t Northamptonshire. A mixture of habitats combines to make it the best recorded wildlife site in Northamptonshire. A talk given by Jeff Blincow will look at the history of the locality to show why it is an oasis for wildlife. The main orders of flora and fauna occurring at Yardley Chase will be covered followed by a look at the future for ‘Northamptonshire's Wildlife Gem’. A thousand hectares of woodland were taken over by the MOD in WW2 and kept secret for 30 years. The changes that were made and the protection given have created the perfect 'haven' for wildlife. The talk will be in Buxton Methodist Church Hall

starting at 7.30 pm on 5th March. Visitor fee £3.

Frogs and toads All new ponds, big or small, will begin attracting wildlife almost immediately – and in most cases it won’t be too long before you start to see frogs and toads. Avoid the temptation to “help” by moving frogspawn into your new pond, though. This can spread disease, and you may inadvertently transfer non-native or invasive plant species. If you have created the right conditions in your pond, the frogs will find their own way. There are two species of frog and two species of toad in the UK. You’re only likely to see the common frog and common toad in your garden – the pool frog is only found in small numbers in the south of England, and the natterjack toad is also rare and found in sand dunes and areas of

sandy heath. It’s easy to tell the difference between frogs

and toads. Frogs tend to be green or brown and have smooth, moist skin and long legs, while toads are bigger and have drier, rough and warty skin. If disturbed, a frog will perform a large leap,

whereas toads tend to get around by crawling rather than hopping. Depending on the weather, frog and toad spawn could appear at any time now. Frogs return to the same pond – often the

one they were born in – each year to begin breeding. Frogspawn is easily identifiable: jelly-like clumps of eggs, each with a black dot in the middle. Female frogs lay thousands of eggs each year, but only a small number of tadpoles will survive to adulthood. Toads lay their spawn in long strips, rather than clumps, usually wrapped around submerged vegetation in deeper water. If you’re really lucky, a newt or two will move into your pond. There are three species of newt in the UK: smooth, palmate and great crested. All three species can be found in gardens – as well as spotting them in your pond, you may also find them in hedgerows, rockeries, long grass and log piles. Great crested newts are the rarest of the three species – they are easy to distinguish from smooth or palmate newts as they are

larger and have rough and warty skin. The males have a distinctive crest running along their backs – giving the species their name. Great crested newts have suffered a major decline in the last century. Just like frogs and toads, the lack of suitable habitats makes it hard for them to breed, feed and shelter – and your garden pond may be just what they need to survive.

MARGARET

DICKINSON

Margaret Dickinson’s ambition to be a writer began early and she had her first novel published at the age of twenty-five. This was followed by eight further titles published in hardback by Robert Hale, but her aim was always to be published in paperback. In the early 1990s Margaret found a wonderful agent, Darley Anderson, who advised her to write regional sagas; romantic fiction with a strong woman as the central character. Margaret had found her niche and her first novel to appear in paperback published by Pan Macmillan was Plough the Furrow. Sow the Seed and Reap the Harvest completed this trilogy set on the Lincolnshire coast. Twenty further titles followed including Pauper’s Gold, which was set in Cressbrook Mill when it was a

working cotton mill. In the 1850s life was harsh for the pauper apprentices and with the onset of the American civil war, a cotton famine caused greater hardship in the mills of England. The Clippie Girls is set during Sheffield Blitz of December 1940. In March 2014, Fairfield Hall reached number 9 in the Sunday Times top ten bestselling paperback fiction list. Although all the characters and events are fictitious, Ashford-in-the-Water has inspired one of the settings in Margaret’s new novel The Buffer Girls. The Candle House, the blacksmith’s, the church, the Riverside House Hotel and even the Sheepwash Bridge are all featured in the story. So too, is Monsal Head and Monsal Dale. The pretty village is a perfect contrast for the vibrant

This ‘Time-travellers Guide to Visiting the Matlocks’ is a true gem of a book. Author Rosemary Thatcher has mined local newspapers, contemporary accounts, guidebooks, brochures and photographs to repopulate the wider local area as it was in an age gone by. The extensive use of rare photographs includes one of the author’s grandfather, who as a very sick man stayed at Smedley’s Hydro – now County Hall, headquarters of Derbyshire County Council – over 100 years ago. This was a time when the Matlocks – which incidentally had a very low death rate – drew trainloads of visitors, from day trippers to rather wealthier men and women booked in at one or other of the hydros. Many of these clients were extremely wealthy – hence, we are told, ‘A mother could plan where to be seen with her unmarried offspring. A businessman could make contacts. Everyone was equal when swathed in towels before breakfast.’ Hydropathic treatments generally required guests to stay for at least a month, including those in the many private establishments that offered basic care without such expensive pleasures as formal balls, tiaras and mingling with titled guests.

Records reveal that in 1891/1892, Smedley’s staff and guests consumed 11,000 pounds of butter, 59,000 eggs, 12,000 chickens and 80,000 pounds of meat. And all this before the huge expansion of visitor numbers after the turn of the century. Those higher up the social scale had numerous staff at their beck and call. One humble attendant was tasked with carrying invalids – when he wasn’t trapping rats, mice or cockroaches. Treatments meted out to patients also raise a shudder, from an asbestos tent with one’s head poking out, to an electrode treatment for a ‘furuncle’ on the nose, to the application of electric shocks or a vibrator ‘for stirring up the liver’. Matlock Bath was the destination for the many who

came for pleasure. Bank Holiday day trippers piled into the resort in their tens of thousands. On Good Friday 1890 for example, over 800 train passengers contributed to some 30,000 visitors. Matlock itself was prominent at a 1902 Crystal Palace exhibition on health resorts, at around the time that 100,000 albums showing views of the Matlocks went on sale at sixpence each. With over 400 illustrations, ‘The Gem of England – A Time-Travellers Guide to Visiting the Matlocks’ by Rosemary Thacker is published locally by Country Books/Ashridge Press. Available through local bookstores priced £15 (to order quote ISBN 978-1910489-24-6).

NEXT TALK ‘SVALBARD (SPITZBERGEN)’

Our next talk leaves Derbyshire far behind to take us on an adventure ‘up North’ to Svalbard. Described as the Arctic North you dreamed of, a land of dramatic snow drowned peaks and glaciers, vast icefields and forbidding icebergs, with endless Arctic nights, it does sound exciting. Tony Clarke, a UK wildlife photographer, will be telling us about his trip to Svalbard, with beautiful photos too. Svalbard is the most northerly part of Norway and is made up of an archipelago of islands lying in the Arctic Ocean, halfway between Norway and the North Pole. It has a population of about 3000, over 2000 of which live in Longyearbyen, the largest settlement on the islands. It also has a population of a few thousand polar bears, the iconic symbol of Svalbard and a main tourist attraction. Although they are protected, anyone leaving settlement areas is required to carry a rifle for their self-defence, in case of attack by polar bear. Other terrestrial mammals found include the arctic fox and Svalbard reindeer, plus the southern vole. Whilst at sea you can see minke and beluga whales, dolphins, seals and walruses. The Barents Sea in which the archipelago lies is very rich in bird life during the summer, particularly auks and gulls, and arctic tern spend their summer there, after spending their winter in the Antarctic. Only 2 songbirds migrate there to breed, the snow bunting and the wheatear, and one hardy bird doesn’t leave

You may have heard about the benefits of having a dog; the feeling of companionship, regular exercise, better health and a more robust immune system, but what about the cost? The cost of food, treats and vet bills can be astronomical and every penny counts these days. However, there is a way to enjoy all of the benefits without any of the costs….

Svalbard at all, the ptarmigan, which is a real arctic specialist. Considering its latitude, Svalbard has an amazingly rich flora. Over 160 plants can be found there, not including algae, mosses and liverworts. There are lots of different saxifrage, and other species such as mountain avens, and although they don’t look like our trees there are 3 species of willow and one of birch. These are all found in the tundra areas of Svalbard, somewhat bleak areas where the vegetation survives by growing in low cushions.

Surprisingly the appearance of the tundra here varies due to different regional climates and the geological background, and can be quite colourful. Nearly two thirds of Svalbard is protected as nature reserves, national parks, or bird sanctuaries, which is good news for the visiting wildlife enthusiast. So do come along to hear about this last great wilderness, on Monday 21 March 2016 at the Medway Centre, Bakewell, at 7.30pm. Admission is £2.50 and everyone is very welcome.

MATLOCK AND DISTRICT HARD OF HEARING CLUB

The afternoon began with a short talk by Rosina Newton from the Lip Reading Group. She explained what they did and invited anybody who wished to join them at the Ritz in Matlock, every Tuesday during term time, from 1.30-3.30pm, the only charge being 30p for coffee or tea. Rosina can be contacted on 01629 584385 or email: tuppencenewt@aol.com to find out more. As the speaker had failed to appear, Barbara Davey, a committee member, came to the rescue with a quiz, which had cryptic clues to films old and new. So for a while, we were occupied with teasing questions, which stirred up our 'grey cells', and some of the answers brought back memories from the past. The raffle was drawn as we

enjoyed a refreshing 'cuppa'. The next meeting on the 7th March, at 2pm. in the Imperial Rooms, Matlock, will be the A.G.M., followed by Bingo.

GRANITE, MARBLE AND QUARTZ, LOOKING AS GOOD AS THEY FEEL! An Attractive Feature For Any Home

As natural materials which feel as good as they look, granite, marble and slate bring a feeling of quality to both kitchens and bathrooms, combined with excellent durability. You may not realise how many colours and textures are available, but at the House of Granite & Marble in Chesterfield you can see them all across a 2,000 square foot showroom. The choice is truly amazing. Perhaps you favour blue pearl granite from Norway resembling chips of ice. Or you may prefer tan brown granite from India which seems to suggest rich coffee colours. And yet again there is the classic black surface of granite, in all its variations. There are over 200 colours and every piece is unique. Quartz, the modern alternative to granite, has no maintenance requirements and offers a more regular

pattern and colour. House of Granite and Marble offer a wide range of quartz products including Silestone, Radianz by Samsung and Compac. Quartz is harder than granite and comes with a 15 year warranty, this very durable worksurface sits beautifully alongside both traditional and contemporary styled kitchens.

At Allwood, we are sure that the quality and price of our handmade, solid wood furniture cannot be beaten. A small team of expert craftsmen, led by a national, award-winning designer, work directly with the customer, cutting out all unnecessary overheads and costs, which usually inflate the price. Most customers assume that genuinely handmade, bespoke, real wood furniture of our exceptional quality would simply be too expensive. A recent survey showed that many of the ‘standard chipboard ordinary’ kitchen suppliers, with their glossy brochures, commission based salesmen and huge overheads, were more expensive than Allwood. Why have ‘ordinary’ when you can have the ‘WOW factor’ for the same price or less? For a stunning real wood, genuinely handmade kitchen, built to your own requirements, give us a try. With our no obligation quote / design you might be surprised at what you can afford! 0800 731 7351.

“Some people think that granite, marble and quartz is beyond their budget, but this does not have to be the case”, commented Rob Hall, MD. “Our policy is to buy direct from the UK or overseas suppliers and that makes a significant difference to the cost”. After making a choice from

the outstanding range of natural materials, the House of Granite and Marble can arrange a full fitting service for worktops. Visit or contact: The House of Granite and Marble, Cobnar Wood Close, Chesterfield Ind. Estate, Sheepbridge, Chesterfield S41 9RQ. Tel: 01246 261989.

Kitchen and Bedroom Creation have been operating from their 2,500 square foot showroom on Chatsworth Road for some eight years now and in that time have designed and installed hundreds of kitchens and bedrooms. Having their own factory in County Durham has given them an edge on their competitors, as they are able to manufacture whatever they need to make a particular design work for a client, rather than relying on trying to fit standardised unit sizes. By making cabinets and doors from raw materials, rather than stocking prefabricated sizes, gives you the customer a much wider choice of finishes and sizes and a bespoke service at no additional cost. With their own manufacturing capabilities, they can offer a wide range of innovative corner access solutions. Timber doors are available in natural oak, pippy oak, walnut, tulipwood and maple. They also offer an inframe version of all these as well as a number of different styles of door design. With having their own high tech spray booth in the factory, they are able to offer a wide range of painted kitchen and bedrooms in mdf and painted wood in the colour of your choice. They also manufacture many laminate doors from a huge range of board finishes, and can supply a range of fantastic high gloss acrylic and lacquered doors to give

that super modern clean line look. A wide variety of work surfaces are available from high quality laminate worktops to solid timber such as Oak, Walnut, Beech and Wenge in both 30mm and 40mm thickness. Natural granite and the composite quartz alternative such as Stilestone are also available with a complete template and fitting service. For the illusion of a complete one piece worksurface 'Corian' or its equivalent Samsung product called 'Staron' can be fabricated to any shape you require and have the sinks moulded into the worktop. This totally bespoke service gives a unique finish to any kitchen. As well as a complete design service, including a free on-site survey, a detailed colour photorealistic computer presented plan gives you a comprehensive picture of how your new kitchen or bedroom will look. Kitchen and Bedroom Creation not only offer a complete detailed planning service but will also project manage the work, having their own team of builders, plumbers, electricians, plasterers, fitters and tilers, or they can liaise with your own contractors to ensure a smooth continuity from 'Conception to Completion'. Phone 01246 200901 now for their free no obligation design service.

Tideswell Local History Club – BASLOW W.I. DARLINGS Pub Signs Their Histories And Stories

There were so many interesting items in the February talk given to Tideswell Local History Club that it is hard to choose between them. Did we know for instance, that the Marquis of Granby sign remembers a much respected soldier who gave money to some of his retiring staff to start up in the pub business. Similarly the “Wellington” pubs were set up by soldiers with money earned in the Peninsular Wars. This talk is the fruit of a sixty-year hobby for Enid, who started noting pub signs as a little girl when travelling steadily down from Sheffield to the New Forest on family holidays in their Austin Ruby. She and Phil have been logging them

ever since and now have photos of 1,360 signs in their collection. They even have a picture of the big First Drop Inn sign that used to be in our Market Place until 20 years ago. They told us that way back in history the earliest sign was either a bush or a vine and that custom was instigated by the Romans. King Richard the second, however, made them compulsory – he even had official ale-tasters wearing leather britches, going round, to make sure the new brew wasn’t too sweet. They sprinkled some drink onto a wooden bench and then sat on it! If they stuck to the bench, there were too many sugars in the brew. An industry- based sign is that of the Hoffmann (lime

kiln) up at Harpur Hill and we were told that the fire in this continuous process kiln burnt from 1872 and wasn’t put out until 1944. Another pub sign at Brassington portrays the Saxon carving of t’owd man – the old lead miner, complete with his wisket (basket) and pole pick. Samuel Fox from Bradwell invented the modern umbrella frame and we were shown a sign of

a very cheeky fox sheltering under an umbrella. Another industrial sign is that of the Rusty Dudley pub in Barnsley. This name was a sly dig at the miner’s drinking can, which was made (not very well) in Dudley – the contents soon went a rusty colour. Closer to home, they showed the three dimensional sign of the Three Stags Heads at Wardlow Mires. We all go past it regularly but might not appreciate how striking it is. Similarly, the gallows sign of the Green Man – Blackamoors Head at Ashbourne is unusual because it stretches right across the road. These and dozens of other pub sign features entertained and informed us

and the hour went by very quickly. Years ago, when I was doing my old miner reenactment for school parties, I always told the children to look out for interesting pub signs because they can tell us so much about local history. The Miner’s Arms at Eyam, the old Pig of Lead at Bonsall and the Miner’s Standard at Winster all tell us about our lead mining ancestors. Enid and Phil are to be greatly congratulated on this study of a lifetime. Please come again! Next time in the Institute on March 10th Malcolm Dungworth will be telling us all about the Sheffield Automobile Club. Everyone will be very welcome. Brian Woodall

Work of a Vet - David Newton. Not so glamorous after all, in fact a Vet's life is very dangerous, more of a 007 job, with high velocity hooves rather than bullets; even an accidental hoof tap could lead to the A&E Department and broken metatarsus. But there's no doubt about it, David loved his job and all animals, domestic or wild, generously giving freebie treatment to strays and unwanteds. Certainly, David had some “narrow shaves”, almost SpecSavers experiences in his career but, I strongly suspect that he was and is, a very good Vet. Lunch Club Launched at the Robin Hood Inn, Baslow. Leader- Lorna Wilson. I'd call it a big success, certainly there was a lot of

noise and excitement, not too much misbehaviour but it's quite difficult to quell twenty ebullient Darlings who've a lot to say! Some sound sanctuary when we commenced eating and repleted relaxation when we'd finished. Yes, definitely delicious, our first lunch hailing the beginning of another era of indulgence. Oh! Pass the whale bone! Linacre Reservoir Walk. Leader- Ann McPhie. Huge turnout for the first walk of the yearsometimes I wonder if it's the tempting drinks bar and nibbles that Ann McPhie sets up in the back of her vehicle- surely not? I missed the walk and the bar, but knew that I could just make it to the lunch venue on time. When I arrived, the car park seemed strangely empty and there were only

two people having lunch. Little did I know the blighters had changed their minds and gone for lunch just a hundred yards further up the road. “They” all assured me that they'd had a lovely time.

ELR TO INCREASE AUCTION OFFERING IN RESPONSE TO DEMAND

Leading local estate agent Eadon Lockwood and Riddle has announced plans to host three auctions over the next 10 months – driven by increased demand from both property owners and buyers looking to take advantage of the ‘quickresults/best price’ process. The firm - which expanded into Rotherham in 2015, and recently revealed its new experience-orientated website – say the team has been ‘overwhelmed by enquiries’ since the start of the year, prompting the decision to increase the number of events it hosts throughout 2016. And whilst the majority of lots are still regeneration projects and plots of land for development, the company has also reported growing interest from home-owners who like the security of walking out of the auction hall with an agreed fixed completion date and a contract put in place. The first of the three auctions is scheduled to take place at the Maynard hotel in Grindleford on April 27th. Director and experienced auctioneer, Nick Riddle, said: “Up until quite recently auctions were seen to be a bit old fashioned, or

something people associated primarily with antiques! “However, whilst we have always had a loyal list of attendees – namely developers looking for a property bargain they can turn around and sell at a profit – the last few events we have hosted have attracted an increasingly diverse mix of people, and increasing numbers. “The last auction, which took place in October last year, attracted well over 100 people; and every single one of the lots sold went for more than its estimated values.” ELR’s past auctions have produced a multitude of success stories including a property selling for £2.3million at auction in 2015 and a dilapidated grade II* listed barn house, with a guide price of just £80,000 but selling for £220,000. Those interested in finding out more about selling their property or land at auction, or attending the next auction, should contact Nick Riddle at Eadon, Lockwood and Riddle’s Hathersage branch on 01433 651888. For further information about ELR’s auctions – and the process of selling or buying at auction - visit the firm’s newly dedicated webpage: www.elr.co.uk/ home/auctions

MATCH REPORT: DERBY RUFC UNDER 14s v MATLOCK RUFC UNDER 14s 50-50s as their greater DERBY 29 MATLOCK 12 the strength began to tell. After

Blustery conditions greeted a keenly anticipated rematch against Derby. Just one point between the teams when they last met. Great series of tackles from Harry Wyld and good technique in the scrum meant that the match swung in Matlock's favour and it was no surprise when an equaliser came. A great run by Danny McRea and lay off to Harry Wyld almost brought a breakthrough and, as the ball spilled out, it broke for Danny McRea who exploited a hole in the Derby defence to put Matlock in the lead, duly converted 12-5. This prompted the Derby coaches to bring in reinforcements from their much larger squad, as the game was clearly swinging in the visitors' favour. Sam Ball was surging through the centre and

causing lots of problems for the Derby back line. Scrum half, Calum Massey, was working well to get the ball out to the backs. William Needham was putting in some great work to win possession and Ned Tatler was getting to everything. George Bowen piled into a tackle that could have almost been felt on the touch line in a typical example of the team's determination. Derby pulled a try back, and two minutes later a series of failures to put tackles in cost Matlock dear as Derby moved on into an undeserved 17-12 lead at half time. Brandon Harrison and Jack Gothard came out for the second half on fire. Some big hits by Brandon freed up the ball for playmaker, number 10, Jack to bring the backs well and truly back

into the game. George Bowen made a surging run down the left wing but from the resulting scrum, the ball spilled to Derby. As time passed Matlock were holding their own, epitomised by Alfie Stockeland, Adam Harris going in where it hurts, but Derby were winning some of

an unfortunate penalty given away in front of their posts, Derby took it quickly to score a try whilst the Matlock team watched to stretch the lead. At the death, Matlock came within a whisker of bringing the score back to 2919, with a try opportunity in the middle of the posts, but the Derby defence managed to hold on to the final whistle.

HEAD CHEF: Jerry Buckingham The Old Nags Head at Edale, the official start to the Pennine Way, a ramblers ultimate challenge, weaving its way north through the Yorkshire Dales, the Cheviots and onwards to the border with Scotland, forming what is often described as the ‘spine’ of England. The Old Nags Head was built in 1577, renowned as one of the top 100 great pubs in England, serving the hungry, weary and thirsty locals. Having undergone many changes over the years it is now starting a new era, after having refurbishment work done on the bars and

dining rooms, giving this lovely pub a real warm, welcoming feel with log fires and cosy corners. To complement these lovely settings, the Nags Head has taken on Mr Jerry Buckingham, formerly of the Millstone Inn, Hathersage to develop the food and put his own twist on the classic pub menu. Introducing homemade pies, like chicken, ham hock and portabello mushroom, Derbyshire meat and potato and his famous pick and mix sausage menu. Using locally sourced produce from the day’s markets, Jerry can be found creating new dishes for the specials boards, like pot roast lamb shank with mint and caper sauce, braised red cabbage and buttered mash alongside

dishes of chilli roast salmon fillet on stir fried noodles. A carvery runs on Saturdays (3-8pm) and Sundays (12-5pm) offering traditional roasts with fresh garden vegetables like honey roast parsnips, creamed leeks, buttered swede. Beside the freshly roasted joints are dishes of freshly made game pie, liver and onions, fish pie, vegetable nut roast, chicken casserole and giant pots of homemade gravy. Until the end of March it’s 2-for-1 for a carvery on both Saturday and Sunday, so £9.95 gets two carvery meals! This year, speciality evenings are planned with Italian buffet nights, the great British pie nights to look forward to, along with a new fun quiz and games night on Fridays from 9pm

with general knowledge quiz, bingo and much more. There are also two self catering cottages for people who wish to stay overnight. The Kinder cottage sleeps four and Grindsbrook sleeps five. So, a visit to Edale would be incomplete without popping in for a bit to eat, a pint of our own ‘1577’ Nags beer and a warm welcome!

Gainst Thou Go'st A Mothering Widely referred to as Mother’s Day, Mothering Sunday falls on the fourth Sunday in Lent, this year on 6 March. Less generally called Refreshment Sunday, the date is a legacy from a stricter era when the day brought a brief easing from the constraints of Lent. Mother’s Day is celebrated around the world on various dates and in different ways. Its foundation in the United States is credited to Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia, who in 1907 held a ceremony in remembrance of her own mother. Jarvis went on to instigate a massive campaign for an annual festival in honour of all mothers; in 1914 a national holiday was proclaimed whereby the second Sunday of May was to be known as Mother’s Day. In other countries it varies

from the first day of spring to mid-December. Mother Church Some historians associate the origins of Mothering Sunday with pagan springtime celebrations such as those held in ancient Greece in honour of Rhea, mother of the Gods. The Romans venerated their mother-goddess, Cybele, with gifts and offerings at the three-day festival of Hilaria in mid-March. It may be that this festival became blended into the annual Christian custom of parishioners gathering for worship at their mother church, not necessarily the church in their home village. The old parish of Bakewell, for example, once contained nine chapelries but All Saints’ was the mother church for surrounding villages

including Ashford, Baslow, Beeley, Longstone and Over Haddon – places which all had their own ‘daughter’ churches. I’ll to thee a Simnel bring, Gainst thou go'st a mothering (Robert Herrick 1591 – 1674). Servants and apprentices working away from home made every effort to return to their mother church for the Mothering Sunday service and to this end were allowed a day’s holiday. By the 16th century, returning sons and daughters often bore gifts for their mothers. The timehonoured gift was a Simnel Cake, a rich cake of fruit and marzipan. Those who kept rigidly to the Lenten fast saved the cake until Easter but many families shared it out on Mothering Sunday. Julie Bunting

With Spring on the doorstep, there is nothing quite like the first flowers of the year to bring a bit of cheer into our lives. Whilst most true wild flowers are still deep in hibernation, some cultivated or semi-wild flowers are putting in an appearance, and snowdrops are my favourite. Remembering where I had seen a spectacular show a few years ago, this walk was my way of returning for an encore. I parked up in Alstonefield where there are a couple of car parks. This village is particularly noted for its daffodil display and I could clearly see grass verges and gardens that were sprouting nicely in preparation. The village always looks neat and tidy, spic and span so I was not surprised to find reference to the Alstonefield Parish Spring Clean on 19th March – meet outside the Village Hall at 9.30 to be allocated your task and bring your own tools. Why don’t all villages do this? Heading past The George I continued on to St Peter’s Church which contains the canopied box pew of the Cotton family from Beresford Hall as well as a magnificent pulpit. Now with two decks it was originally constructed with three decks. I wonder how they decided who spoke from where – possibly the highest deck was reserved for the Vicar as he would have been closest to heaven! Outside to the rear of the church are two interesting gravestones. Anne Green died on 3rd April 1518, her grave being marked by one of the earliest stones in any graveyard. A few yards away lies Margaret Barclay who died in 1731 aged 107! It was the most glorious day for my walk with blue skies and sunshine radiating over the hills and highlighting the beauty of this undeniably stunning panorama. The descent to Milldale down Millway Lane was a delight with solid ground beneath my feet for easy walking and magical camera moments around every corner. On the outskirts of this sheltered hamlet of chocolate box pretty little cottages is the old Primitive Methodist Chapel built in 1835. Although no longer open for regular Sunday worship, a few special services are held here during the year, mainly in summer though as the building has no electricity. The Christmas Eve service must be a heartwarming occasion in candlelight but evidently it is so popular that an overflow of congregation have to stand in the lane! Milldale was deserted. There was no kettle on at Polly’s where the serving hatch of this welcome little kiosk was closed, being out of season and midweek. All the seats by the river were empty, even the resident ducks were tightly tucked up, eyes closed in deep slumber. After recent rains a torrent of water was dashing beneath Viators Bridge, rapidly rushing towards Dovedale

and the slalom of stepping stones. As I began my riverside stroll beside the Dove there were no other humans to be seen, a very rare but enjoyable occurrence. Suddenly though I spied another life form with piercing eyes aimed in my direction. Across the river, poised like a statue was the most beautiful heron I have ever seen. There then followed a few moments of mutual observation before it decided I was no threat and went back to the task in hand – looking for lunch! I took several photos of this

incredible bird with his amazing plumage. I found an interesting fact that many people with garden ponds buy plastic heron figures in an attempt to protect their fish but evidently this is more likely to attract a real heron than scare it away! Entranced from my brief encounter I moved on, walking past Dove Holes. These gaping caves created long ago by the power of swirling water looked like giant open mouths about to swallow me up. A ray of sun aimed down onto Pickering Tor, illuminating it like a limestone spear rising up from the shadows of Ilam Rock on the darker side of this deep gorge. Most of the trees in Dovedale Wood were bare and skeletal with an occasional hazel adorned by drooping strands of delicate catkin. Having crossed the river by the substantial wooden Ilam Rock footbridge, I was making my way towards Hall Dale when I suddenly heard a beautiful duet of birdsong. Looking toward the river I

saw two dippers side by side in the shallows, dipping and dancing in competition - yet another memorable ornithological moment! The walk up Hall Dale was interesting as I tried not to slip on patches of exposed limestone patinated and polished to marble by countless soles that had gone before me. Bright sunlight and dark shadows contrasted on either side of this dry vale which led me gradually up to the hamlet of Stanshope and the highlight of my walk. Could it possibly get any better? Scattered in abundant beds on the lawns and in the orchard of Stanshope Hall and Church Farm were thousands of glorious snowdrops. Unlike the delicate pearls in my own garden, these blooms seemed bigger, more the size of tiny birds’ eggs on stalks. In this historical setting, the snowdrops are probably as old as the houses here which date back to the 1600s. I walked past Church Farm to follow the no through road which then became a rough track with views across to Alstonefield. A different kind of dipper followed as I descended steeply to cross the road from Hope to Milldale, where the garden of a pretty little cottage at Dale Bottom looked like a snowstorm had just passed by. There then followed a climb up Harry’s Bank before returning to level ground. I then crossed fields and stiles back to Alstonefield, emerging near the little village green within skipping distance of the pub.
