We are in the middle of winter now and it can<br />
seem endless. Here at <strong>NG</strong>HQ we are focussing<br />
on getting fit, eating well and enjoying living<br />
in the moment rather than worrying about the<br />
future or whittling about the past.<br />
2019 saw us launch our 9th magazine; <strong>NG</strong> <strong>Four</strong><br />
has been well received and we would like to<br />
thank everyone for their continued support.<br />
A usual we have some great competitions for<br />

Nottingham College’s Community Faculty<br />

courses for adults in different locations across<br />

The<br />
Social Media<br />
Tale<br />
I’m sure many of you will have had shiny new<br />
phones, tablets and other devices for Christmas.<br />
For me, and I am sure many others from my<br />
generation, the whole technology thing and the<br />
social media society that we now appear to live in<br />
is sailing way over my head.<br />
I try to keep up. I have a Facebook account but the<br />
youngsters have moved on...It’s all Instagram and<br />
Snapchat now. So, determined not to be left behind,<br />
I set up an Instagram account and was immediately<br />
blocked by both my kids. Charming.<br />
Did you know...<br />
• Facebook has 2.47 billion users<br />
• 42% of the world wide<br />
population use social media<br />
• the average time spent on social<br />
media is 142 minutes a day<br />
We all have local community Facebook pages.<br />
If you’re not a member, I wholly recommend you<br />
search for your nearest group and get involved.<br />
Whether your dog has legged it or your budgie has<br />
flown the nest, fear not. Post an appeal online.<br />
Someone will have spotted your furry or feathered<br />
friend and chances are you will be reunited before<br />
you can say “here Joey”.<br />
There was the guy who asked if anyone had lost a<br />
hamster as he had found one in his back garden.<br />
He kindly posted a photo and received hundreds<br />
of comments suggesting he put the fox cub back<br />
where he found it!!!<br />
Heard a loud bang? A siren? A leaf falling from a<br />
tree? Fear not...within 5 minutes there will be an<br />
explanation on Facebook.<br />
It’s fantastic, heartwarming and occasionally,<br />
hilarious.<br />
Shuffling around the kitchen in my PJs recently, a<br />
tiny voice called; “Hi Ali”, then another; “Hello”, then<br />
a deeper, tiny voice; “Ayup Ali”. My son was cooking<br />
his tea and seeing my confusion, he pointed to<br />
the shelf and there was his phone with five tiny<br />
faces waving at me. All a bit Willy Wonka for me.<br />
Apparently it’s called Group FaceTime. Get with it<br />
grandma!!<br />
There is a lot of negative press surrounding the<br />
abuse of social media. Cyber bullying, fake news<br />
and online grooming to name but a few of the<br />
unspeakable ways technology is misused. However<br />
it can also be a great asset to communities.<br />
I have to share my favourite post of last year with<br />
you. It went something like this;<br />
“BIG UP to the guy outside the library traffic lights<br />
who pulled up behind me in the middle of the road<br />
on a red mobility scooter. At first I thought, get<br />
on the pavement before you get hit, until I heard<br />
the engine and he overtook me, MANS GOT A<br />
MOTORBIKE E<strong>NG</strong>INE IN IT! Post some pictures pal.”<br />
Comedy gold right there.<br />

Tanya About Town<br />
There’s no business<br />
like show business,<br />
and if the first part of<br />
the year is anything to<br />
go by in Nottingham,<br />
then it looks like <strong>2020</strong><br />
is going to be a great<br />
year for entertainment.<br />
The Kaiser Chiefs kick the year<br />
off in style at the Motorpoint<br />
Arena (Jan 17) along with special<br />
guests Razor Light. Capturing<br />
the unique ABBA sound and feel<br />
with incredible attention to detail,<br />
Waterloo – The Best Of ABBA<br />
will bring a full live cast and band,<br />
stunning costumes and breathtaking<br />
choreography to the stage<br />
(24 Jan) and the stars of last years<br />
Strictly Come Dancing waltz in<br />
after them for their annual glittery<br />
visit to the city (4-5 Feb).<br />
The 1975 stop by (15 Feb) and<br />
James Blunt drops in too (20<br />
Feb). Enjoy the classic sounds<br />
of the Chicago Blues Brothers,<br />
direct from London’s West End<br />
with their 11 piece band, for a<br />
brand new two hour all singing, all<br />
dancing hit parade bringing you<br />
the greatest movie anthems of all<br />
time, performed live in concert (21<br />
Feb) and Michael Ball and Alfie<br />
Boe return to the city for another<br />
visit (28 Feb).<br />
A special, one-of-a-kind tour<br />
visits the arena with a huge allstar<br />
line up. The Blast Off Tour!<br />
features live performances from<br />
top US artists Nelly, Salt N Pepa,<br />
Shaggy, Mya and Blu Cantrell<br />
(3 March) and we also see the<br />
Stereophonics (7 March) and The<br />
Script (9 March) visit the arena.<br />
The entertainment doesn’t stop<br />
there either. Down the road at<br />
the Theatre Royal and Royal<br />
Concert Hall, the world premiere<br />
production of Kay Mellor’s thrilling<br />
new play, Band of Gold runs (14-<br />
18 Jan). Celebrate the life, legacy<br />
and the music of Prince, as a<br />
brilliant show featuring the world<br />
class New Purple Celebration<br />
delivers a non-stop hit packed<br />
extravaganza (29 Jan).<br />
With more glitter than ever before,<br />
one of my favourites, the iconic<br />
musical Priscilla Queen of the<br />
Desert returns starring Strictly<br />
winner Joe McFadden (27 Jan).<br />
A powerful reinvention of the<br />
family favourite, Riverdance also<br />
visits for their 25th anniversary<br />
(16 March). Another act I’ve seen<br />
before who is definitely worth<br />
seeing is Ben Portsmouth, the<br />
World’s number one Elvis tribute<br />
artist in The King is Back, (28<br />
Feb).<br />
There are a few new shows visiting<br />
to look out for as well. Join Diva,<br />
the 50 piece Limelight Orchestra’s<br />
celebration on International<br />
Women’s Day (8 March) as it<br />
shares proceeds in support of<br />
the charity, Nottingham Women’s<br />
Centre. Enjoy the iconic anthems<br />
of female superstars from Shirley<br />
Bassey to Beyoncé as they are<br />
celebrated in this uplifting live<br />
music show. There’s also An<br />
Evening With Whitney: The<br />
Whitney Houston Hologram<br />
Tour! Promising to be an iconic<br />
and awe-inspiring live theatrical<br />
performance, the show celebrates<br />
Whitney’s life, work, and legacy.<br />
The one of a kind holographic<br />
experience will reunite audiences<br />
with the queen of pop using<br />
state of the art technology and<br />
digitally remastered arrangements<br />
of her classic hits – backed by a<br />
live band, singers, dancers – all<br />
surrounded by a spectacular and<br />
cutting-edge stage and lighting<br />
extravaganza. Sounds interesting!<br />
(9 March). But maybe not as<br />
interesting as the live divorcing<br />
and beheading in the musical<br />
‘Six’. Nominated for 5 Olivier<br />
Awards including Best New<br />
Musical, from Tudor queens to pop<br />
princesses, the six wives of Henry<br />
VIII finally take to the mic to tell<br />
their tales, remixing five hundred<br />
years of historical heartbreak into<br />
an 80-minute celebration of 21st<br />
century girl power (24-29 March).<br />
You can also catch one of<br />
Nottingham’s own queens of<br />
the music scene, Georgie. With<br />
her rich Americana soul sound,<br />
Georgie has supported the likes<br />
of Jake Bugg, Blossoms and Jack<br />
Savoretti but will be appearing at<br />
The Metronome (6 Feb).
If comedy is your thing then you’ll<br />
be pleased to know we get a<br />
visit from Sandi Toksvig to the<br />
Royal Concert Hall (24 Jan) and<br />
also Milton Jones (1 Feb) while<br />
Stewart Lee enjoys a run at the<br />
Playhouse (29 Jan - 1 Feb).<br />
On a more serious note, what a<br />
time for drama! To tie-in with the<br />
Royal Shakespeare Company’s<br />
visit to Nottingham in <strong>2020</strong>,<br />
Theatre Royal and Royal Concert<br />
Hall are presenting their very<br />
own Celebrating Shakespeare<br />
Festival, taking over the Theatre<br />
Royal for 10 days of activities and<br />
events (24 Feb - 7 March).<br />
For a couple of alternative<br />
experiences, worldwide cult<br />
phenomenon Ghost Stories will<br />
thrill for the first time ever at the<br />
Theatre Royal, after storming the<br />
West End. Enter a nightmarish<br />
world, full of thrilling twists and<br />
turns, where all your deepest<br />
fears and disturbing thoughts<br />
are imagined live on stage. A<br />
fully sensory and electrifying<br />
encounter, Ghost Stories is the<br />
ultimate twisted love-letter to<br />
horror and an edge-of-your-seat<br />
theatrical experience like no<br />
other (21 - 25 Jan), or try Flight,<br />
taking place at Lakeside Arts,<br />
in a 40 foot shipping container in<br />
absolute darkness, using binaural<br />
360 degree sound and sensory<br />
effects to put each audience<br />
member at the centre of intense<br />
evolving narratives. Flight explores<br />
the Many-Worlds Interpretation<br />
of quantum mechanics, taking<br />
audience members through two<br />
worlds, two realities and two<br />
possible outcomes to their journey<br />
(14 - 22 Feb).<br />
If you’d rather listen to adventure<br />
than be part of it, Sir Ranulph<br />
Fiennes: Living Dangerously<br />
offers a personal journey<br />
through his life, spanning his<br />
early childhood and school<br />
misdemeanours, his army life,<br />
the Transglobe Expedition<br />
and his current Global Reach<br />
Challenge; making him a pioneer<br />
of exploration with an unparalleled<br />
story to tell at the Theatre Royal/<br />
Royal Concert Hall (23 Jan)<br />
If you’re a foodie, keep a look<br />
out for a series of ‘Food Talks’ at<br />
Lakeside Arts during <strong>February</strong><br />
and March and if one of your<br />
New Year Resolutions was to<br />
take more care of your mind and<br />
body, keep a look out for Sage<br />
Therapy Centre due to open<br />
at the end of <strong>January</strong> <strong>2020</strong> on<br />
Western Boulevard. The centre<br />
will offer five talk rooms and five<br />
massage rooms, offering holistic,<br />
complimentary and alternative<br />
therapy.<br />
If the festivities of Christmas and<br />
the New Year already seem a<br />
long way in the past, don’t forget<br />
the Chinese New Year Gala<br />
celebrations take place (6-8 Feb)<br />
at Lakeside Arts. Celebrate<br />
the beginning of the Year of the<br />
Rat. A tenacious, successful<br />
and optimistic zodiac animal,<br />
the rat embodies much of what<br />
we look for at the start of the<br />
New Year. Expect a sweeping<br />
array of entertainment ranging<br />
from enchanting Chinese Erhu,<br />
Guzheng and Bamboo Flute<br />
music, to edge-of-your-seat<br />
group Kung Fu routines, weaving<br />
together a beautiful tapestry of the<br />
contemporary and traditional.<br />
Finally, of course, we have<br />
Nottingham’s annual Light Night<br />
to look forward to (7-8 Feb). This<br />
year it’s going to be bigger and<br />
better than ever before, with the<br />
events spanning the length of two<br />
days rather than one! Witness<br />
the streets of Nottingham city<br />
centre come alive with the work<br />
of various artists and an incredibly<br />
innovative augmented reality<br />
trail. A trail of artwork by Jason<br />
Wilsher-Mills will be scattered<br />
throughout the city, and you’ll be<br />
able to use your mobile phone<br />
to bring the pieces to life with a<br />
brand-new app. In partnership<br />
with It’s In Nottingham, the city<br />
will be showered with parades,<br />
magnificent light sculptures,<br />
breath-taking performances, a<br />
large-scale projected installation<br />
on the Council House from the<br />
artists MBD and more! Following<br />
the theme Life on Earth, this<br />
year’s free event is not to be<br />
missed.

J M Wills - A Service You Can Trust<br />
By making a properly drawn-up will, you<br />
can decide what will happen to your<br />
property and possessions after your<br />
death, ensuring that your loved ones are<br />
provided for and that they have one less<br />
thing to worry about.<br />
A will ensures you can leave your property<br />
and possessions to whoever you choose,<br />
although advice should be obtained<br />
to ensure you have made reasonable<br />
provisions for your dependants. At a<br />
time when modern families are becoming<br />
increasingly “blended” making a will now<br />
is even more important then ever.<br />
There are also a number of financial<br />
considerations that have to be considered<br />
like inheritance tax and old age planning.<br />
Who will your family turn to when no will<br />
has been written to guide them?<br />
If you have made a will, when was the<br />
last time you reviewed this? Time and<br />
circumstances might mean that a will<br />
made several years ago is no longer<br />
appropriate to your current situation.<br />
J M Wills & Legal Services can make the<br />
whole process easy and it can be carried<br />
out in the comfort of your own home<br />
where they can help you make these hard<br />
decisions.<br />

Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire Air Ambulance<br />

milestone.<br />
The fundraisers from Carlton presented another<br />

Richard Herrod Centre.<br />
The air ambulance charity have now received over<br />
£50,000 in total from the group.<br />
As well as the weekly quiz night, the team also hold<br />

weekly raffles and they also sell books and other<br />
items to raise money for the charity.<br />
Leader of Gedling Borough Council, Councillor John<br />
Clarke said;<br />
“This is more than just a quiz night, this is a<br />
community who are getting together, having a fun<br />
evening and raising an incredible amount for charity.<br />
The team who organise the events do a fantastic<br />
job, and I know the money raised will be greatly<br />
appreciated. The people involved should be very proud<br />
of what they have helped to achieve here, we couldn’t<br />
do this without them and it’s fantastic to see just how<br />
much money they have raised to help support this very<br />
worthy cause.”<br />

£120k viewing platforms for<br />
gedling country park<br />
by Gedling Borough Council<br />
Improvements continue at Gedling Country Park<br />
with £120k viewing platforms planned for March.<br />
The platforms are part of wider investments at the<br />
park which also includes a car park extension and<br />
covered outdoor seating area.<br />
Gedling Country Park has expansive views spanning<br />
into Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire and Leicestershire,<br />
which will now be enhanced thanks to two viewing<br />
platforms, one of which will be four metres high.<br />
The platforms, which will be installed to the north and<br />
south of the solar panel farm at the park, will both<br />
feature wheelchair and pushchair accessible ramps<br />
and interpretation panels with information about<br />
the views beyond the platforms such as Lincoln<br />
Cathedral and Belvoir Castle.<br />
The £120k funding for the platforms was awarded<br />
by the Rural Payments Agency, who provide grants<br />
for projects which help promote growth, jobs and<br />
tourism in rural areas.<br />
Since opening in March 2015, the park has become<br />
increasingly popular, with around 100,000 visitors<br />
per year, with many attracted by the family friendly<br />
events, wildlife conservation projects and heritage of<br />
the site.<br />
To help with the increasing number of visitors to the<br />
park, the car park will be extended by 100 places and<br />
a new £73k covered seating area outside the parks<br />
café, Café 1899, will also be installed.<br />

Cropwell Bishop Circular Walk<br />
Walk distance: 2.5 miles<br />
Walks With Emily & Friends<br />
Difficulty: Very easy (however there are two stiles, so<br />
this might not be suitable for larger dogs).<br />
Pub stop: We didn’t have a pub stop on this walk.<br />
Starting point: Hoe View Road, Cropwell Bishop<br />
Cropwell Bishop is a lovely little village about 25<br />
minutes out of Nottingham. There are plenty of<br />
longer walks you can also do from the path you<br />
join on this walk, we just didn’t have enough time<br />
to go further.<br />
Keep on this path passing the backs of several<br />
houses. This path will bring you back on to the<br />
main road where we started. Turn left when you<br />
reach the end of the road and Hoe View Road will<br />
be on your left a few yards down the road.<br />
We parked on Hoe View Road in Cropwell Bishop.<br />
This is a housing estate, so parking is free, but<br />
remember to park responsibly. As you come out<br />
of Hoe View Road, turn left on to the main road,<br />
passing the Cropwell Bishop Creamery a few<br />
hundred yards down the road.<br />
There is a lovely shop here that is open to the<br />
public where you can pick up artisan cheese<br />
amongst other items. Unfortunately this isn’t open<br />
on Sundays- check the website for full opening<br />
times.<br />

Instagram: @greatbritishdogwalks<br />
Twitter: @gbdogwalks<br />
After passing the Creamery, carry on past the<br />
church and up the hill. Just after the end of the<br />
row of houses on the left you will see a stile and<br />
a public foothpath sign pointing left into a field.<br />
Cross the stile and follow the path down into the<br />
field until you reach another stile, continue across<br />
this and down the path.<br />
The path winds round to the right a little, continue<br />
following it, until it straightens again and meets<br />
another path. Follow the footpath signs and turn<br />
left along the stream.<br />
Continue walking down this path until you reach<br />
Cropwell Bishop Road (remember to put your dog<br />
on the lead here as it is a fast road). Cross the<br />
road and continue to follow the path. Keep walking<br />
until you reach a t-junction, turning left at this point<br />
to follow the path up a steady hill.<br />

PARK TO REOPEN THANKS TO<br />
£38K REFURBISHMENT<br />
by Gedling Borough Council<br />
A park that was on the brink of permanent closure<br />
was reopened after a £38k investment from<br />
Gedling Borough Council.<br />
The play area on the corner of Carnarvon Grove and<br />
Foxhill Road, Carlton was re-opened by the Mayor of<br />
Gedling, Councillor Sandra Barnes, last November.<br />
Local school children from Carlton Central Academy<br />
attended the opening to test out the new equipment.<br />
The park closed last July following a spate of<br />
vandalism that left it too dangerous to stay open. A<br />
decision to close the park indefinitely, on health and<br />
safety grounds, was made and discussions took<br />
place with senior officers and councillors about the<br />
future of the park. The council listened to residents<br />
and the local school and took the decision that it<br />
would be refurbished rather than close permanently.<br />
Gedling Borough Council has invested £38,000 to<br />
improve the park. The old wooden equipment has<br />
been replaced by solid steel metal materials, which<br />
will last longer and are less likely to be vandalised.<br />
The new play area includes new swings, climbing<br />
frame, slide, roundabout, rocking horse and a new<br />
bench and rubber surfacing.<br />
The Mayor of Gedling, Councillor Sandra Barnes said:<br />
“It’s great that the park has been saved and that the<br />
local school children have somewhere to play locally.<br />
We listened to the residents and made a decision to<br />
invest in the park and provide new equipment which<br />
will secure the long term future of the park.”<br />

Ray’s still an inspiration at 86 years young!!<br />
by Gedling Borough Councl<br />
Raymond Topple boasts an impressive<br />
and inspiring catalogue of talent and<br />
achievements throughout his life so<br />
far. At 86 years old he chats about how<br />
he’s been active his entire life and we<br />
got to hear the fascinating stories he<br />
has to tell, including playing 18 years of<br />
football, achieving a black belt in Judo<br />
by the time he was 30 and even his<br />
experience of being the lead singer of a<br />
10 piece band!<br />
Ray still volunteers his time to be<br />
a referee for Judo examinations<br />
including for the 2012 London Olympics<br />
and discusses how he stays active<br />
and what it means to him. Being a<br />
member of Redhill gym for 14 years<br />
he appreciates the camaraderie of the<br />
centre and its staff members with high<br />
praises for his Pilates trainer Sharon.<br />
Visiting the gym Monday to Friday<br />
and even changing his schedule<br />
to accommodate this, Ray advises<br />
everybody to get a full night’s sleep, to<br />
eat well and to exercise every day, even<br />
just moving around slightly will help you<br />
stay positive. His piece of advice; “if<br />
you think you can’t do it, you can, it’s all<br />
about your mentality”.<br />
Keep yourself Active for Life by<br />
participating in our sessions at Redhill<br />
such as DNA Health for those who<br />
are inactive or living with a health<br />
condition, or our Heartbeats Scheme<br />
for those with heart conditions. All<br />
of our centres are awarded with the<br />
CredAbility Kite Mark and their own<br />

from your local neighbourhood policing inspector,<br />
Chris Pearson....<br />
I wanted to provide a short update<br />
as to our priorities. These remain<br />
Residential Burglary, Autocrime<br />
and ASB until at least <strong>January</strong><br />
<strong>2020</strong>.<br />
As the nights get darker earlier,<br />
leave a light on inside your house.<br />
Remember to choose low energy<br />
lamps (wherever possible). Use a<br />
timer switch to operate the lights<br />
as it starts to get dark. Change<br />
the times that the lights come on<br />
to simulate an occupied home.<br />
Make sure your front door is well<br />
lit. Use dusk to dawn lighting<br />
that automatically comes on as<br />
it gets dark. Make sure you keep<br />
your doors and windows locked<br />
at all times. There is also crime<br />
prevention advice available on the<br />
Nottinghamshire Police website<br />
which covers a range of subjects<br />
and this can be found under: www.<br />
nottinghamshire.police.uk/advice<br />
Autocrime has continued its<br />
downward trend this year with<br />
a 21% reduction across Gedling<br />
compared to this time last year.<br />
That equates to around 99 less<br />
victims of autocrime. Despite this,<br />
local officers are continuing to<br />
carry out proactive work around<br />
autocrime after a number of vans<br />
were broken into across Gedling<br />
during November with tools stolen.<br />
Despite the challenges of bonfire<br />
night and halloween, reports<br />
of anti-social behaviour (ASB)<br />
continue to be slightly lower<br />
than this time last year which<br />
is encouraging. I also recently<br />
met with colleagues from<br />
Nottinghamshire County Council<br />
youth services to look at how we<br />
can continue to work together in<br />
order to reduce incidents of ASB<br />
across Gedling.<br />
Moving on to road safety, the<br />
Gedling Neighbourhood team<br />
have been working alongside<br />
community volunteers. A<br />
community road safety operation<br />
was completed in the Spring Lane<br />
area of Lambley Village back in<br />
November following concerns from<br />
local residents about speeding in<br />
the area. We are aiming to repeat<br />
this work over the next few weeks<br />
and months and we will be visiting<br />
other locations across the Gedling<br />
Borough to address the issue of<br />
road safety.<br />
Finally I attended the<br />
Nottinghamshire Police Force<br />
Awards on 21st November where<br />
I saw PC 3532 James Gill win the<br />
Police Officer of the Year Award.<br />
PC Gill is a response officer based<br />
at Jubilee House in Arnold. This<br />
is a fantastic achievement and<br />
one that I believe is really well<br />
deserved. More details about PC<br />
Gill’s award can be found here:<br />

Death in the<br />
family<br />
I<br />
t was always going to happen. We’ve had the first<br />
death in our family which we had to explain to the<br />
children. Even worse, my daughter was the one who<br />
discovered the body and my wife and I had to deal<br />
with the aftermath.<br />
Fear not! Fortunately, it was one of the family Guinea<br />
Pigs rather than a dead relative. We haven’t had<br />
to re-enact a real life version of Cluedo, so we can<br />
safely put the candlestick and lead pipe back in the<br />
ballroom.<br />
We’ve had the Guinea Pigs for about a year. Originally<br />
we bought two and one morning we discovered that<br />
another had appeared. Evidently one of the original<br />
pair was pregnant when we bought her so we got<br />
three for the price of two, which made me quite happy<br />
about the inherent savings on the family budget. It<br />
was also my daughter that discovered we had a new<br />
arrival whilst I was preparing their breakfast, so in<br />
some small way it’s appropriate that she was the first<br />
to find the recent dead Guinea Pig. She appears to<br />
have turned into some sort of child-like ferry person<br />
who guides pets across the river Styx.<br />
We’ve had animal deaths in our house before, though<br />
this is the first time it’s been one of our pets. There<br />
was the time when a dead rat fell out of the ceiling<br />
during a bathroom renovation, that poor fella got put<br />
in a bin bag and left on the driveway so that yours<br />
truly could dispose of it in the dustbin. Then there was<br />
the pigeon that flew straight into our patio door and<br />
broke its neck. Cue Dad poking it with a broom to<br />
see if it was definitely an ex-pigeon before putting it<br />
in its own bin bag and disposing of it in a similar way<br />
to the rat.<br />
It turns out there’s a double standard of disposing of<br />
animals depending on whether it’s your own pet, or<br />
just some random wildlife. When I suggested to my<br />
wife that we should follow the same procedure with the<br />
Guinea Pig as we had with the previous animals I was<br />
met with a very stern “I should think not”. Apparently<br />
the bin was far too common a burial method for our<br />
furry ex family member. So we found a cardboard<br />
box big enough to put the now stiff Guinea Pig in<br />
and resolved to bury it with full honours later that day.<br />
When I returned from work the ceremony was already<br />
over, it turns out the children had got over the shock<br />
pretty fast. In fact they didn’t hang around much past<br />
halfway through the burial leaving my wife to see out<br />
the duties by herself in the rain.<br />
In fact, aside from the immediate shock of finding<br />
the dead pet the kids were pretty much okay. To<br />
my complete surprise it was my wife who was the<br />
emotional one, she seemed pretty upset when we told<br />
her what we’d found which I think surprised her as<br />
much as us!<br />
In the weeks since we’ve returned to normal. The kids<br />
bought some flowers which was nice, and the bright<br />
side is that there’s one less Guinea Pig to clean up<br />
after. Which is more of a benefit to my wife and I as<br />
the kids do almost no cleaning up after ‘their’ pets.<br />
Only having two left gives me at least a 50/50 chance<br />
of remembering their names (the pets not the kids), so<br />
that makes things easier too.<br />
People used to say to me “get a pet, it teaches your<br />
kids about life and death”. Honestly, I felt that was<br />
quite a macabre way to look at it, and I hope that’s<br />
not peoples primary motivation. But there’s something<br />
in it, it’s been good to see how much pets mean to<br />
us and also how the<br />
children (and wife) have<br />
coped. Me? I’ve still got a<br />
spare set of bin bags and<br />
a broom handle ready,<br />
just in case.<br />
Edging into my forties, I’m a wrangler of two young children<br />
who are either going to keep me eternally young or drive me<br />
to an early grave. I’ll be sharing some of my experiences of<br />
parenthood and my terrible attempts at staying relevant!<br />

SLUG & LETTUCE OPENS ON MARKET SQUARE<br />
Slug & Lettuce has unveiled its second venue in<br />
Nottingham, as it brings another dose of glitz<br />
and glamour to the city.<br />
The Slug and Lettuce, formerly Yates, is<br />
located just off Market Square. This lovely<br />
old building has had a total facelift. The only<br />
thing remaining from its previous life is the<br />
huge clock that takes centre stage upstairs in<br />
the gallery.<br />
The make-over is pretty amazing and perfect<br />
for the ‘insta” generation. From the cherry<br />
blossom trees dotted about everywhere to<br />
the pretty gilded cage booths, there are photo<br />
opportunities everywhere.<br />
We arrived on Friday evening to a warm<br />
welcome and a real buzzing atmosphere.<br />
This place is perfect for a group get together.<br />
Grab yourselves a booth and order a porn star<br />
martini cocktail tree. Happy days!<br />
We sat upstairs in the gallery and ordered an<br />
S & L Sharer. It arrived in a fancy three<br />
tier gilded cage, and after a quick photo<br />
(see what I mean...) it was polished off<br />
very quickly. The stand out starter was the<br />
glazed ribs.<br />
Mains<br />
followed.<br />
Southern<br />
f r i e d<br />
chicken salad, some lovely sharing<br />
plates, smothered chicken and lasagne.<br />
This is good pub grub and reasonably priced.<br />
Desserts were 3 for £7. A cute trio of<br />
deliciousness washed down with a bottle of<br />
fizz that was served with a fizzing firework<br />
attached to it (yet more photos).<br />
For a fun, lively night out right in the middle<br />
of town, this place is perfect.<br />
WIN ONE OF TWO<br />
£50 MEAL VOUCHERS<br />

What was the only thing remaining<br />
from the old building after the face lift?<br />

Lunch Bunch<br />
2019 Top 3<br />
H<br />
Here at <strong>NG</strong>HQ we came up with a great idea<br />
last year. Fed up with the same boring salad every<br />
day, we decided that once a week (Wednesday)<br />
we would take turns to cook for the team. It has<br />
been a massive success and is still going strong.<br />
We have enjoyed soups, toasties, warm salads,<br />
risottos, noodles, jacket spuds and casseroles.<br />
Trying to pick a top three was really diffi cult. We<br />
all loved the sausage and bean casserole. The<br />
curried chicken noodle bowls were delicious.<br />
Jacket potatoes with homemade beans and<br />
chorizo blew us away. In fact, we have had a few<br />
stuff ed jackets and they were all amazing!<br />
It’s a challenge to keep coming up with new and<br />
original ideas, but we love it. I scour through my<br />
cook books every month looking for suitable<br />
dishes. Not too fi lling (we don’t want everyone to<br />
fall asleep!), easy to cook in a toaster, microwave<br />
or mini oven, and not too unhealthy. These<br />
girls like to watch their waist lines. The recipes<br />
opposite received the most votes and we hope<br />
you enjoy them as much as we did.
Enchilada Lasagne<br />
500g minced beef<br />
1 courgette – fi nely chopped<br />
1 carrot – grated, 1 large red onion – fi nely<br />
chopped, 2 peppers – fi nely chopped<br />
1 tin kidney beans in chilli sauce<br />
1 small tin sweetcorn<br />
500g passata, 100g tomato puree<br />
2 x garlic cloves - crushed<br />
2 x beef stock cubes<br />
2 tsp oregano, 1 tbsp ground cumin<br />
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce<br />
2 tsp chilli powder, 2 tsp dried chilli fl akes<br />
1 tbsp paprika, 4 x tortilla wraps<br />
1 x mozzarella ball – ripped in to pieces<br />
80g cheddar - grated, Cooking oil<br />
Preheat the oven to 160°C. Grease a<br />
24cm spring form tin with oil and line the<br />
bottom with greaseproof paper. Heat a<br />
splash of oil in a pan, add the minced<br />
beef to brown. Then add the vegetables<br />
and garlic to the meat and mix well.<br />
Turn down the heat and add the kidney<br />
beans, sweetcorn, spices, stock cubes,<br />
tomato puree, Worcestershire sauce<br />
and passata to the saucepan and mix<br />
well. Leave to simmer for 25 minutes<br />
without covering.<br />
Once the meat has cooked, and the<br />
sauce has reduced, you need to layer up<br />
the dish. Place a wrap at the bottom of<br />
the lined tin. Place a layer of the meat<br />
and veg on top. Continue this pattern,<br />
ending with a layer of meat. Top with<br />
grated cheese and mozzarella. Sprinkle<br />
with a little paprika. Bake for 25 mins<br />
until the cheese is golden. Once cooled<br />
slightly, run a knife around the edge,<br />
unclasp the spring form tin and carefully<br />
lift the tin away. Cut a wedge, and<br />
serve immediately!<br />
Couscous with Roasted<br />
Veg, Feta & Hummus<br />
Dressing<br />
Couscous – enough for 4 people<br />
4 x peppers (mix of red, yellow, green)<br />
2 x courgettes, 1 x aubergine<br />
2 x red onions<br />
olive oil & butter, squeezy honey<br />
fresh basil, 125g pot hummus<br />
3 tbsp Greek yogurt (plain)<br />
½ lemon<br />
feta cheese (optional)<br />
salt & black pepper<br />
Chop all veg into 2.5cm pieces. In<br />
a bowl toss with 2 tbsp olive oil and<br />
season well. Add to large baking tray<br />
and roast at 230°C for about 30/40<br />
mins. Check every 10 mins. They are<br />
done when the veg is soft and slightly<br />
charred. For the last 5 mins add a<br />
squirt of honey and some chopped<br />
fresh basil.<br />
Cook couscous as per packet<br />
instructions in an ovenproof dish.<br />
Once all liquid absorbed – add juice of<br />
half a lemon, butter and olive oil and<br />
season with salt and black pepper. Mix<br />
well and cover with foil. Bake in oven<br />
for 10 mins (add 10 mins before veg<br />
is fi nished).<br />
Meanwhile make the lemon hummus<br />
sauce. Whisk 3tbsp plain Greek yogurt<br />
and juice of half a lemon with the<br />
hummus and season to taste.<br />
To assemble, spoon the couscous<br />
onto a plate, top with the roasted veg<br />
and drizzle the sauce over.<br />
Optional – add some crumbled feta<br />
cheese on top of the veg.<br />
Sweet Potato &<br />
Lentil Soup<br />
2 tsp medium curry powder<br />
3 tbsp olive oil<br />
2 onions, grated<br />
1 eating apple, peeled, cored and grated<br />
3 garlic cloves, crushed<br />
20g pack coriander, stalks chopped<br />
thumb-size piece fresh root ginger<br />
800g sweet potatoes<br />
1.2l low-sodium vegetable stock<br />
100g red lentils<br />
300ml milk<br />
Juice 1 lime<br />
Put the curry powder into a large<br />
saucepan, then toast over a medium<br />
heat for 2 mins. Add the olive oil, stirring<br />
as the spice sizzles in the pan. Tip in the<br />
onions, apple, garlic, coriander stalks<br />
and ginger, season, then gently cook for<br />
5 mins, stirring every so often.<br />
Meanwhile, peel, then chop the sweet<br />
potatoes. Tip into the pan with the stock,<br />
lentils, milk and seasoning, then simmer,<br />
covered, for 20 mins. Blend until smooth<br />
using a stick blender. Stir in the lime juice,<br />
check the seasoning and serve, topped<br />
with roughly-chopped coriander leaves.

WINTER GARDEN<br />
bling<br />
When the flowers have faded, the<br />
autumn leaves have blown away<br />
and stems turned brown, the garden<br />
can look a dreary place; on hold and<br />
waiting for spring to awaken it. But there<br />
is plenty of sparkle and colour to be had as winter<br />
takes hold. Walking round my garden last winter I<br />
found so much to take my eye and delight me.<br />
The fi rst eye-catcher is a big splash of colour from<br />
the stems or berries of a tree or shrub. The fl owering<br />
dogwoods (Cornus alba) are blazing with colour<br />
from their bare stems. My favourites include the<br />
orange “Midwinter Fire”, the deep red “Sibirica”<br />
and even the black “Kesselringii” which looks<br />
stunning with the wan winter sun shining through.<br />
The snakebark maples are spreading their intricately<br />
patterned branches against the winter sky with<br />
red twigs and olive-green and cream trunks.<br />
“George Forrest” has the best coloured twigs and<br />
“Serpentine” the best trunk pattern. The trunks of<br />
Himalayan birch (Betula jackmontii) is white like<br />
bleached bones against the shadows. Another<br />
favourite is the trunk of the Tibetan cherry (Prunus<br />
serrula) whose dark red bark looks polished to mirror<br />
fi nish and is fi lled with swirling patterns of colour.<br />
Shrubs and trees are still covered with berries.<br />
My favourite of all is holly with all its Christmas<br />
associations and memories. The redwings will soon<br />
fl y in from Scandinavia and strip the trees of this<br />
winter feast. The fi rethorns (Pyracantha) are living<br />
up to their name: the yellow-berried ones haven’t<br />
been stripped yet and the stems of Cotoneaster<br />
horizontalis are fi rmly vertical, splayed out against a<br />
fence and studded with small red berries.<br />
Evergreen shrubs and plants add some colour<br />
through the winter, particularly the showy Heucheras<br />
like “Caramel”, “Blackberry Jam” or “Geisha Fan”.<br />
On a frosty morning the leaves are coated and<br />
edged with ice and look like candied fruits.<br />
Frost, ice and dew make the garden sparkle. Frozen<br />
droplets hang, suspended from the wheaten seed<br />
heads of giant oats (Stipa gigantea) and glisten<br />
on the heads of feather grasses (Miscanthus and<br />
Calamagrostis), shining brightly in the low sun.<br />
Evergreen spurges (Euphorbia) become sprinkled<br />
with a diamond-dust of dew and ice and this<br />
will cause them to bow their heads as it melts,<br />
recovering their pose when the weather warms up.<br />
The crinkly leaves of the sun roses (Cistus) are edged<br />
with frost and even the watering can and rabbit-wire<br />
fences are transformed into sculptural shapes by the<br />
frost.<br />
The dead-stems of herbaceous plants are dusted with<br />
frost and seemingly shining in the light. My favourites<br />
are Turkish sage (Phlomis russeliana) with pepper pot<br />
seed heads; sea holly (Eryngium) draped with silver<br />
strings of frosted spider web; and the dead-heads<br />
of conefl owers (Rudbeckia) like silver-edged spears<br />
pointing to the sky.<br />
Winter may seem long and cold, but there’s always<br />
some bling to brighten the short days.<br />

The Kia e-Niro First Edition:<br />
Happy People<br />
The very clever Kia e-Niro is<br />
pointing the way towards the<br />
immediate future of personal and<br />
private transportation. But let us<br />
not get ahead of ourselves here<br />
as this is not a review of the e-Niro<br />
just yet, rather a rumination<br />
regarding the practicality of<br />
electric vehicle travel right here<br />
and right now.<br />
TIP 1<br />
Before going anywhere you<br />
absolutely must download the<br />
fantastic Zap-Map app which is<br />
compatible with both Android<br />
and IOS and is packed full of<br />
invaluable features. Without going<br />
into detail, you input your own EV<br />
information and then have access<br />
to a UK-wide charging point map<br />
(constantly updated) currently<br />
showing over 6,000 charging<br />
locations and 19,000 connectors.<br />
There’s also a superb route<br />
planning feature that you can<br />
customise to your own required<br />
specifications. Believe me when<br />
I say that this superb app helps<br />
extinguish any doubts regarding<br />
range anxiety.<br />
TIP 2<br />
Familiarise yourself with the type of<br />
charger you need to find on the<br />
journey so that you can access<br />
maximum range for the time spent<br />
charging. Turns out they’re not all<br />
the same... Checkout the What<br />
Car? EV charging guide online and<br />
look for rapid chargers rather than<br />
just fast on Zap Map.<br />
TIP 3<br />
Take a good look next time you<br />
see an EV charge point at the<br />
services. They all look the same<br />
don’t they? Now look closely at<br />
the charging cables available<br />
and you’ll notice that some have<br />
a Type 2 charger (capable of<br />
charging from 7 kW to 22 kW, fully<br />
charging an EV in 3-4 hours) on one<br />
side and a Chademo on the other<br />
and yet others have a CCS (rapid<br />
DC units which are at least 50 kW<br />
and will charge the majority of EVs<br />
to 80% in around 30-60 minutes)<br />
and Chademo charger. Which to<br />
choose? It’s different for some EVs<br />
(Nissan, Renault, Mitsubishi and<br />
Tesla) but generally and from my<br />
own experience with the Kia, it’s<br />
the CCS type charger that you<br />
need when looking to maximise<br />
recharging.<br />
TIP 4<br />
Don’t waste time charging twice<br />
at a charge point (one 45 min<br />
charge followed straight away by<br />
another) trying to get the battery<br />
up to 100%, as it takes longer than<br />
just finding another charge point as<br />
and when you need it. Most, if not<br />
all, EV manufacturers recommend<br />
that charging to 80% rather than<br />
100% will help extend the real<br />
world lifespan of the EV’s battery<br />
pack. Indeed, Tesla themselves<br />
recommend charging to 100%<br />
only if a longer journey is to be<br />
undertaken. And then there’s the<br />
time it takes to fill the final 20%,<br />
which takes longer to complete<br />
relative to the first 80%. So charge<br />
to 80% and off you go.<br />
TIP 5<br />
Download and register with a<br />
number of the most popular EV<br />
charging apps available on either<br />
IOS or Android allowing yourself<br />
the luxury of choice when it comes<br />
to charging your chosen EV.<br />
You really don’t want to be wasting<br />
time trying to set up the correct<br />
app and payment card on the<br />
journey itself. Try out Zap Map,<br />
ChargePoint, PlugShare, Polar Plus,<br />
Pod-Point and Electric<br />
HIGHWAY.<br />
Whether we like it or not the electric<br />
vehicle revolution is here to stay.<br />
Prices will come down, range will<br />
increase and charging times will<br />
reduce, but until they do, take on<br />
board the advice given and carry<br />
on enjoying the drive. It’s going to<br />
be a electrifying journey.<br />

Carlton’s Victoria Picture Palace<br />
by Bob Massey<br />
By 1912 there were two cinemas operating in<br />
Arnold.<br />
The first was a simple building of timber and<br />
galvanised iron, officially called the Electric<br />
Picture Palace, but fondly known locally as the<br />
Tin Hut. The second cinema that followed soon<br />
after was a very different affair.<br />
The St Albans Picturedrome was one of the first<br />
of the true picture palaces that graced the area<br />
during the 1920s and 30s. A very impressive<br />
building .<br />
Enoch Parker was a local Carlton businessman<br />
and building contractor who could see that the<br />
cinema was here to stay. He had visited the St<br />
Albans Picturedrome and decided that it was<br />
just what Carlton needed. Parker acquired<br />
a plot of land on Station Road which he felt<br />
would be an ideal site for this new venture. He<br />
approached William Higginbottom, the architect<br />
who had designed the St Albans Picturedrome,<br />
to design him a cinema for Carlton.<br />
Cinema design was very much a new discipline<br />
at the time and using someone who had some<br />
experience in the field was very important as<br />
they were few and far between.<br />
W H Higginbotton submitted his plans for the<br />
new building in autumn 1912 and in October<br />
that year the Carlton Urban District Council<br />
approved the drawings. Work on the building<br />
started in <strong>January</strong> 1913 with construction<br />
carried out by Enoch Parkers own company.<br />
A generator was installed to provide the DC<br />
power required for the projector. The rest of the<br />
building was lit by gas. The audience of 450 was<br />
accommodated on a staggered level auditorium<br />
in simple wooden tip up seats. Admission was<br />
3d and 6d with the six penny seats in the grand<br />
stalls (the slightly raised area at the back of the<br />
auditorium). The paint work was pink and cream<br />
with curtains to match.<br />
By early spring 1913 the work was completed<br />
and the cinema officially opened on April<br />
30th 1913, less than 4 months after the work<br />
commenced.<br />
This new entertainment venue for Carlton was<br />
called the Victoria Picture House. The films<br />
being shown were of course all silent in those<br />
days, but they were accompanied in this building<br />
by a piano, violin and cello. The first film to be<br />
shown was Willies Magic Wand, supported by<br />
a short slapstick comedy and a topical review.<br />
The great liner, the Titanic, had sunk with a large<br />
loss of life only a few days before and Pathe had<br />
produced a news report. This was also shown<br />
as part of the same programme that night.<br />
Mr Parker decided to run the cinema himself<br />
and could be seen in the building most nights.<br />
The projection of the films was carried out by<br />
Mr Parker’s son Reginald as chief operator. It<br />
was very much a family undertaking from start<br />
to finish.<br />
The cinema quickly became a great success<br />
and was regularly filled to capacity. In 1921<br />
after 10 years of operation, the cinema closed<br />
for a short time while a balcony was installed.<br />
When it reopened on November 21st 1921 the<br />
capacity had increased to 600. The cinema now<br />
had a staff of 16 with Reginald taking over the<br />
management from his father. Arthur Davies<br />
replaced Reginald as chief operator. Cinema in<br />
Carlton was now well established.<br />
