We are are an experienced team of 8 landscapers with most of 

our guys having 20 plus years in the trade. 

I started myself at the age of 13 in the landscape industry working 

weekends for a local garden centre, and then progressed over the 

years. I’ve spent the last ten years running a team of 15 but now 

we’ve downsized so we can specialise more in the design and 

build element and being able to be more focused on fewer builds. 

We have built gardens for Chelsea gold winners, installed in the 

grounds of Chatsworth, worked all over the country building 

sensory gardens, and we pride ourselves on quality and passion 

and thinking out of the box! 

For a complete design and build package don’t 

hesitate to contact us we have a great customer base 

and fantastic portfolio.

Welcome to the August 2022 edition of The Barlborough, 

Clowne & Renishaw Doorsteppa! 

At the time of writing this introduction, the Lionesses have just 

won the Euro’s!! Congratulations to everyone involved, and 

especially to local girls Millie Bright and Ellie Roebuck, who have 

done their communities proud. Hopefully there will be a local 

celebration planned and, as a father of three daughters, I’m 

personally chuffed at what an inspiration this will be to young 

girls! 

Talking about inspirational young women, this month we 

caught up with local girl Susannah Judge (see above), who is 

taking part in the ‘Ironman Challenge’. Susannah is raising 

money to take part in the World Scout Jamboree, and is going 

to swim 2.4miles, bike 112miles, and run over 25miles over a ten 

day period! As the young leader at the 6th Eckington Scout 

Group she will need all the help she can get. Check out the full 

story in our Community Section on page 22. 

Above: Susannah Judge, The Iron-Girl of Eckington! 

Welcome to the Barlborough, Clowne 

& Renishaw Doorsteppa! 

for a cuppa and chat. Please turn to page 26 for more 

information on how you could get involved. 

Lisa Byers, our local Travel Counsellor, gives us a guide to 

exploring the SeaWorld Parks and the beaches on the west 

coast of Florida this issue. You can experience new exciting 

thrill rides, close animal encounters and water based activities 

all at the same destination! Please see our Travel Section on 

page 40 for more. 

If there are businesses out there thinking of advertising, please 

do not hesitate to contact us for any information, general 

queries, or even a free quote. Contact us by phone, email, 

through our website or via our social media channels. 

Have a great month! 

In our Charity Section there are details of a charity that aims 

to reduce social isolation in people over 65. The amazing 

befrienders are paired with an isolated neighbour who they visit

The Man Who Had Everything 

There was a man who had everything. He built houses, made 

himself beautiful gardens and was immensely rich. Yet he considered everything he 

had done to be a waste of time. He hated life. I said of laughter, “It is mad”, and of 

pleasure, “What use is it?” - You can read about the man, King Solomon, in the book 

of Ecclesiastes in the Bible. 

This feeling of emptiness is not uncommon today. Good mental health, according to 

the World Health Organisation, is defined as a state of well-being where individuals 

are able to: Realise their own potential. Work productively. Cope with the normal 

stresses of life. Solomon appeared to tick all of these boxes, but was still depressed. 

In the end, he realised that without God, life was empty and incomplete. 

People who believe in God are not immune to anxiety and depression. However, God 

has promised something better for those who choose to be part of His family.

ARIES 21 March - 20 April 

Your standards, principles and what makes you tick, are 

important now. Something isn’t sitting right and there’s a need to dig 

deep within yourself to find a workable solution. Compromises may be 

necessary but don’t compromise too far as, ultimately, it won’t benefit 

you. Perhaps it’s time to move on and this can take some soul 

searching. Whatever decision you make will mean that some bridges 

are burned irrevocably. Prevarication doesn’t help. Get in control! 

18 

TAROTSCOPES 

LIBRA 24 September - 23 October 

It will benefit you to hold onto what you have as it’s time to 

grow the bank balance. Savings and investments are due an 

overhaul as your future financial security comes into focus. New 

ways forward open up bringing plenty of opportunities but no 

guarantees that each one will be completely successful. Don’t be 

afraid to try new things though as you could find yourself in the 

right place at the right time to capitalise. 

TAURUS 21 April - 21 May 

A new opportunity presents itself and it’s something which 

resonates with the past. It’s a broad scope covering finance and, 

possibly, affairs of the heart. This time you’re better equipped to 

deal with challenges as you’ve learned some harsh lessons in life. 

Have confidence that you can succeed though know that not 

everything will be plain sailing. In times of doubt reflect on what 

went well and what didn’t. Don’t make the same mistakes again! 

SCORPIO 24 October - 22 November 

A verdict is awaited and, whatever the outcome, there’s no 

alternative but to accept it. Justice is set to be served! Don’t allow 

any of this to get you down. Sleepless nights serve no purpose 

whatsoever. Concentrating on the positives, and there will always 

be positives in any situation, gets things into perspective and 

lightens the spirit. Do you walk away completely? Bridges will be 

burned once and for all. There’ll be no going back. 

GEMINI 22 May - 21 June 

One situation could be in a bit of a tangle which impacts other 

areas. There’s nothing to do other than sit it out. Time is your 

best friend and, as events unfold, resolutions will present 

themselves. Be patient and work, to the best of your ability, 

towards your long term goals. You may need to stand your ground 

on some points but there’s no need to go to war over anything. 

Firm but fair: please! 

CANCER 22 June - 23 July 

There’s an old saying; “If I’m too busy to pray; then I’m busier 

than God intended” and that sums you up now. It’s going to be a 

fine balancing act. You will succeed, but organisation is key. 

Break everything down into bite sized pieces and complete one job 

at a time; otherwise you’re going to be overwhelmed. Self-care 

and a good nights sleep are imperative to give you the energy 

required to see you through. 

SAGITTARIUS 23 November - 21 December 

Prepare for something to strike at the very core of you in the 

best possible way. Suddenly, you feel ‘at home’, comfortable with 

yourself, and very relaxed with life. This is a new chapter starting 

and for all there are no guarantees for the future rest assured that, 

on the whole, it’ll be a positive experience. Give & take are 

paramount and your kindness and generosity towards those less 

fortunate than you earns you kudos. 

CAPRICORN 22 December - 20 January 

You may have to stand your ground and take no nonsense 

from others over one point. Don’t go on an all-out offensive; it 

would be better if you didn’t, but being firm yet fair pays dividends. 

You’re left feeling a little despondent but don’t be too down hearted 

as there’s a glimmer of hope which has the potential to become a 

huge ray of light. Messages come in and suddenly life picks up 

pace again. 

LEO 24 July - 23 August 

Hold on tight as life could be a bit of a bumpy ride for a while. 

You’ll get through but need to exercise patience. Money and 

property matters are at the fore; particularly where there’s more 

than one partner involved. A female offers words of wisdom and 

support and helps you see a better way forward. You can’t wait to 

implement new ideas but, for now, take your time. The excitement 

will start soon enough! 

VIRGO 24 August - 23 September 

Two heads are better than one and sharing ideas with 

another nets results. You may be striking out on a new path 

together and unsure of the best way forward, or indeed, the final 

destination, but you offer each other companionship and mutual 

support. That’s not to say that the journey won’t be without its 

challenges but stick with it as your future security is in the 

spotlight. A house move or DIY are possibilities. 

AQUARIUS 21 January - 19 February 

Stand up and be counted! This doesn’t need to be in an 

aggressive way but by being firm yet fair. You have a wealth of 

wisdom and knowledge which, combined with your patience, can 

make the best of any situation. You can steer a steady course 

through any challenge before heading off to brighter and better 

pastures. Good Luck surrounds you and what was once cause for 

concern now brings joy. Fate lends a hand! 

PISCES 20 February - 20 March 

Slow and steady! It may appear you’re wading through 

treacle in some cases but be assured you are making progress. 

Rather than fret about arriving at the destination; sit back and 

enjoy the journey. Career and property matters seem to be the 

main culprits and there’s the potential for strong female support or 

joint ventures to get underway. Either way it’s time to move on. 

Just beware of someone throwing a spanner in the works!

COMMUNITY 

On the 18th of August local girl 

Susannah Judge is going to take part 

in a sponsored ‘Ironman Challenge’ 

over a ten-day period. This will 

include: 2.4 miles of swimming, 112 

miles on the bike, and 26.22 miles 

running! 

Susannah is doing all of this to raise 

money to take part in the World 

Scout Jamboree and she’s going to 

need as much help as she can get. 

Susannah told us, “I've got the 

opportunity to represent Eckington 

in an amazing experience within 

scouting that will take me to the 

World Scout Jamboree 2023 in 

South Korea. In order for me to 

seize this adventure, I need to raise 

a total of £3495.” 

As the young leader at 6th 

Eckington Scout Group, Susannah 

volunteers her time helping young 

people who are aged between six 

years old upwards. They experience 

the fun, challenge, and adventure of 

scouting as well as the skills for life, 

and the opportunities. 

Going on the world Scouts 

Jamboree will help to learn more 

about other cultures from 150 

countries and meet other like 

minded scouts. 40,000 other Scouts 

to be exact! 

“When I get back from the world 

Scout jamboree, I’m going to shout 

loud about it and share my 

experiences with my friends and the 

local community so that they too 

can learn how amazing scouting is. 

In the future I aspire to be a 

leader so that I myself can help 

other scouts to experience the 

adventure.” 

To raise money, Susannah has been 

baking cakes, selling the cakes (as 

well as trying not to eat them!). She 

has been doing this as well as 

running tombolas at Renishaw Hall 

and the Eckington Festival but the 

next challenge is the big one!!! 

Susannah said, “I've been training, 

swimming, and cycling, and running 

with my Dad. It's been hard 

work but I'm very dedicated to 

completing this challenge to raise 

the money that I need for this 

adventure.” 

The Ironman challenge starts on 

the 18th of August and if anybody 

would like to sponsor Susannah, 

please visit: www.justgiving.com/ 

crowdfunding/susannah-judge 

There is a video explaining 

Susannah’s quest on YouTube which 

you can view by heading to: 

youtu.be/dCnhDFJN_OI 

“Please wish me luck and if you see 

me training around Eckington, 

Killamarsh or the local area, give me 

a wave as it’s so nice to see I have 

people supporting me!”

TRAVEL 

Many associate Orlando with Disney, but trust 

me, there is so much more to explore! I have 

travelled to Orlando twice during October and 

the weather was gorgeous, an average of 30c. 

Here’s my guide to exploring the SeaWorld 

Parks and the beautiful beaches of St Pete and 

Clearwater on the west coast of Florida. More 

on Clearwater next month! SeaWorld Parks & 

Entertainment is made up of four amazing 

parks: SeaWorld, Aquatica, Busch Gardens and 

Discovery Cove. You can either buy three parks 

for the price of two or simply upgrade to 

2explore all the parks with the Ultimate ticket 

which includes Discovery Cove and a dolphin 

swim too. You will experience exciting new 

thrill rides, up-close animal encounters, 

water-based activities with chilled out spaces 

once you have visited all four parks. 

SeaWorld 

Besides all the rides and the new ride of Infinity 

Falls, my main interest was finding out about 

how the park cares for their animals. It was 

amazing to see the state-of-the-art veterinary 

facilities, learn how they rescue animals by 

working alongside the US government and 

have a non-profit conservation fund for 

rehabilitation, research, and preventative 

medicine. Of course, I had to try Infinity Falls 

which was brilliant along with the shows and 

famous coasters such as Mako and Manta. My 

step count had a sharp incline on that day! 

Aquatica 

Compared to the fast pace of SeaWorld, this 

park is a combination of a splashy watery park 

full of super-sized slides, speedy splashdowns, 

and sandy shores to relax in. We had great fun 

trying all the slides and rides and there are 

areas for little ones right up to big kids. 

Aquatica is known as a thrill leader among 

Florida waterparks, especially as they have 

introduced Ray Rush and KareKare Curl. 

Holding two passengers per raft, this new slide 

delivers a high-adrenaline, weightless adventure. 

Discovery Cove 

Set in a tropical paradise, it has an aviary, 

Serenity Bay beach and the Grand Reef, where 

you can snorkel to your hearts content 

surrounded by beautiful saltwater fish. Within 

the ticket, you get all day dining, lockers, 

towels, access to showers/changing areas, 

wetsuit and snorkel hire for the full day. You 

can choose from a swim or non-swim ticket 

with the dolphins. Our first experience was 

SeaVenture (This carries an extra charge). 

Having never dived before I was a little cautious 

but found it was something I could not miss. 

With a full wet suit on and dive helmet, you go 

on an underwater tour of the Grand Reef. It’s 

an immersive underwater walking tour where 

you get up close with sharks (behind a 

panoramic window), watch beautiful stingrays 

glide around you and see the feeding time 

frenzy with schools of fish around you! Our 

second experience of the day was swimming 

with dolphins. The area is set in a huge lagoon 

with large inlets, so you feel you are in a coastal 

paradise but with the safety of experts on hand 

to guide you through your time with the 

dolphins. It was endearing to hear the dolphin’s 

noises and watch them play with each other, 

whilst getting time to play and stroke our own 

dolphin, a young 3yr old called Reef. I won’t 

ever forget that. 

Busch Gardens 

Busch Gardens is an African theme park and 

combines animal encounters with thrill rides 

such as the renown Falcons Fury which has a 

102 metre drop and coasters such as Cobras 

Curse. Not for the faint hearted of you! Ok, I 

wasn’t brave enough to go on Falcons Fury but 

enjoyed some of the animal experiences in the 

Serengeti Plains area. We had a fabulous day 

and got to feed everyone’s favourites, the 

giraffes, one of the may experiences you can 

book here. These guys were so funny, peering 

over us and grabbing the lettuce out of hands 

with their huge tongues. It was such great fun. 

Another full-on day where my step count was 

high! 

Your next holiday to Orlando 

So, you see, it’s not just Disney in Orlando. I 

would heartily recommend booking your 

flights, villa and car hire as a package and then 

choose your combination of tickets. For your 

second week perhaps take in Clearwater, 

America’s Number One beach, and you have 

the makings of a great holiday. 

Why book with me? 

You are fully protected under the Travel 

Counsellors trust and we are ATOL licensed. 

The in-house technology available to me is 

incredible too. It means I can search through 

thousands of suppliers for my clients, getting 

the right flight times, booking your hotel, and 

parking the night before to arranging the tours 

when you’re in your chosen destination. No 

other person will care about your holiday like 

I will do – why risk booking it all online when 

I can do all the hard work and ensure you have 

a wonderful trip? 

So, let me take the stress out of booking your 

Orlando adventure. I can’t wait to hear your 

ideas so please give me a call.

Keep the Frame - Lose the Pane! 

Most of us have double glazing these days. What a 

wonderful thing it is! No more draughts, warmer 

houses, less noise. But what happens when the seal 

goes and condensation starts to form? Does it mean 

paying out for a complete new window and frame? 

Not at all! According to Steve Godley (pictured 

right), owner of Perfectly Clear Windows, it’s often 

not necessary to renew the complete window and 

frame. Simply replacing the defective glass will do - 

and save you lots of expense in the process! 

Perfectly Clear is a family run business whose aim is 

to provide a first class, money-saving service to local 

residents with problem windows. They can repair 

and replace all household window types, regardless 

of age or type, and detailed glass such as leaded, 

Georgian bar and bevelled can be easily replicated to 

match existing units. 

Steve explains, “I personally advise on the best 

options in order for the customer to make a 

well-informed choice.” 

His honest, reliable advice means that customers 

avoid unnecessary expense, even though it may 

result in him losing business. 

“I take the long term view,” he says. “By 

maintaining the confidence of my customers, they 

not only rely on me for future work, but also 

recommend my company to others.” 

In addition to supplying replacement glass, 

Perfectly Clear offer energy efficient, heat reflecting 

and gas-filled insulating units which can help keep 

your home warmer and thus reduce costly heating 

bills in the future.
