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

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

We want to take this opportunity to thank all our clients, and each

of you in the community for your support over 2022, and hope

everyone had an amazing Christmas. We certainly appreciated the

break!

This month we focus again on Eckington’s Got Talent who marked

11 years of performances in 2022. They have exceeded £10,000

raised for local charities. All good things come to an end ! Turn to

why not pop it into our classifieds? One person’s rubbish is

another’s treasure! See all the details of how to go about this in our

Stuff 4 Sale section on Page 26.

Once again, it’s a congratulations from me for anyone who has

Equity Release

Pictured: The Team at Laterlivingnow, celebrating at The Peak Edge Hotel, Derbyshire

Raising The Standard

Chesterfield based Laterlivingnow, has become

the UK’s first specialist Equity Release advisory

firm to have 100% of its advisers attain the SOLLA

Later Life Lending Advice Standard.

This London Institute of Banking & Finance

accredited award demonstrates an adviser’s

understanding regarding client care in supporting

older and potentially vulnerable people, and helps

reassure clients, professional connections and

other trusted consumer organisations that the

adviser has reached a high standard of advice skills

and applied knowledge.

Simon Chalk, MD of Laterlivingnow and SOLLA

Advisory Board Member commented;

“To think that our small family-owned company,

based here in Chesterfield – Derbyshire, is the first

in the whole of the UK for all of its advisers

to attain the highest possible level of

professionalism, is a huge achievement.”

“Homeowners over 55 deserve to be advised by

the most dedicated professionals, as it’s a big step

to take and requires a high level of skill and

knowledge from their adviser.”

Jane Finnerty – Joint Chair of SOLLA (Society of

Later Life Advisers), said;

“We introduced the Later Life Lending Advice

Standard in response to advisers wanting to demonstrate

their applied knowledge and understanding

of later life lending and its wider implications

and considerations when advising older clients.”

Tarotscopes

ARIES 21 March - 20 April

Some situations draw to a natural conclusion bringing some

sorrow. This is a phase only and it’s worth remembering that some

things leave our lives in order to make way for new things to come in.

Fortunately you have at your fingertips all the resources necessary to

overcome obstacles and though you may be down you’re, certainly, not

out! Take time out for yourself and work through your emotions. You’re

stronger than you’ve ever realised. Thought for 2023: Decisions

made now shape your future for years to come.

TAURUS 21 April - 21 May

This has all the hallmarks of a glorious month though, sadly, it

won’t be in technicolour as such! But it is a vast improvement on

recent events. Slowly but surely life begins to change for the better and

you start to feel a calmness overcome you. There are one or two

niggling threads to be unravelled but some sort themselves out in time

and require the merest of tweaks from you. The remainder’s a doddle!

Thought for 2023: Be creative in your thinking and abundance will

surely follow.

GEMINI 22 May - 21 June

Get organised! One job at a time, please. Complete that task, tick

that box: move onto the next item. Oh, and whilst you’re about it; you’d

best remain tight lipped around others as to your ideas, motivation, and

intentions, as not everyone you encounter now has your best interests

at heart. It’s not as dire as it sounds really but it’s time for you to stand

up and be counted. Take no rubbish from others!

Thought for 2023: Transformation brings positive change. Do not

fear nor repel it.

CANCER 22 June - 23 July

All things in equal measure and balance of mind, body, and spirit,

allow you to be your best possible self and achieve success. Work

matters receive a boost and someone in a position of authority is on

hand to give you the full benefit of their experience. Listen carefully to

their words! Life should start to feel easier as you’re better able to deal

with situations and challenges don’t hold the fear they once did.

Thought for 2023: All actions have consequences. Consider all

possible outcomes before acting.

LEO 24 July - 23 August

New opportunities and offers come your way but be advised that

not everything on offer will come to fruition and you’d be wise to

scrutinise the small print before signing on any dotted lines. Again,

collaboration with a partner is a good option as two heads are better

than one and the workload can be shared. Patience will be required as,

at times, you may feel as though you’re wading through treacle. Keep

looking ahead! Thought for 2023: Your wisdom enables you to

appreciate the truths of situations.

VIRGO 24 August - 23 September

Balance is key! You find yourself in the right place, at the right

time, to capitalise on events as they unfold. You may be required to

think outside the box and quirky plans shouldn’t be ignored as they

herald a positive experience. This could lead to you treading a

completely different path altogether but there’s nothing to fear here.

Sometime you may feel as though you’re walking a tightrope but head

up and look forward. Thought for 2023: Be graceful and patient.

Going with the flow works best.

LIBRA 24 September - 23 October

Is a brand new you about to emerge? It would appear you have

plans aplenty and can’t wait to get started on your next adventure.

That’s great and you’re guaranteed an energy and enthusiasm not

experienced for some time. Of course; there is a but! Boring as it may

be, weary as you are, you must tie up any lose ends before you

venture forth. It won’t take you long! Then it’s onwards and upwards.

Thought for 2023: Sudden changes offer opportunity to grow and

make us stronger.

SCORPIO 24 October - 22 November

You’re required to dig deep within yourself to find that extra bit of

strength and courage you need to face a reality. You’ll also need to

ensure that everyone is treated fairly otherwise resentments can fester

and will come back to haunt you in the future. Remember the saying

“reaping what you sow”? New people come into sharp focus and new

friendships form. This is the basis on which to build good, solid,

harmonious, relationships. Thought for 2023: Be ready to claim your

happiness. Past endeavours reap rewards.

SAGITTARIUS 23 November - 21 December

New faces and new places beckon and the lure of adventure draws

you in. You’re ready for something new in your life. Yet something, or

someone, holds you back stopping you from reaching your full potential.

Step away for now! You can’t win every argument and sometimes it’s the

wisest move to concede the occasional point. You will, eventually, return

much stronger than before. Time spent in quiet contemplation brings

fresh insight into a conundrum. Thought for 2023: Your wisdom and

knowledge sees you deal, easily, with challenges.

CAPRICORN 22 December - 20 January

A series of new opportunities come along but not everything is as

it appears and there’s the potential therefore to be unrealistic in your

expectations! Read the small print on everything before signing on the

dotted line. Sleepless nights could spiral out of control; leaving you

lethargic and not operating at your best. Don’t be tempted to

compromise on anything for the sake of peace and quiet as this leads

to upset in the future. Thought for 2023: Embrace change! It makes

way for new experiences to evolve.

AQUARIUS 21 January - 19 February

Good news arrives and you’ll have to think on your feet and act

fast. Possibly faster than you would like but, providing you’re careful of

who you say what to, all should be well. There’s someone around who

could put a spanner in the works. This person isn’t who they purport to

be and won’t have your best interests at heart. There’s another new

beginning on offer with career being the main focus this time.

Thought for 2023: Focus on your objectives and drive towards

them with determination.

PISCES 20 February - 20 March

Beware of being led up the garden path. Not everything is clear

cut nor concise. Major decisions would be best put on hold for now.

Don’t worry as your intuition is there to guide you and no one knows

you, or your situation, better than you. A new start in business or career

is suggested but make sure you know exactly what you’re taking on.

Let others know who’s in charge from the go get!

Thought for 2023: Expect the unexpected and know that you can

overcome anything.

Fashion

How to Style it - The Black Skirt

Whether its maxi, knee length or

mini; A line, flowy or slinky, most

women possess at least one black

skirt. If you’re anything like me,

you mostly pass over this humble

item of clothing when choosing

what to wear. But when

challenged to write a series on

‘how to style it…’ I thought it

would be as good a starting point

as any. My black skirt is a thick

Ponte jersey and hits just above

the knee but the following

combinations can be adapted for

any length or style of black skirt.

Black skirt + Black blazer

Channelling my inner Parisian I

styled my black skirt with a

camel-coloured top, my favourite

black blazer, sheer tights, gold

jewellery, red lipstick and high

heeled nude court shoes.

Black skirt + Sweatshirt

I paired a faded slightly oversized

wine-coloured sweatshirt with

black opaque tights and chunky

black boots, then swapped out

the boots and tights for white

trainers. Both looked good.

Black skirt + White blouse

It’s a classic combination but can

look like waitress attire or school

uniform. The trick is to choose a

blouse in a luxe fabric like silk or

satin, that’s embellished with a

frill, or cut away shoulders or a

low back, and pair it with nude,

black or metallic heels and classy

jewellery.

Black skirt + Denim jacket

This is a great casual look when

paired with a white or grey T shirt

and trainers. Logo T shirts look

particularly good, and if you’re

more of a boot person, those

chunky boots look great with this

outfit.

Black skirt + Patterned tights

I haven’t worn patterned tights

since school and now I’m 44 and I

still think of patterned tights as

being for teens. My daughter

(who is very much a teen)

persuaded me to try her black

sheer polka dot tights and actually

they did look very nice when I

paired them with a plain V neck

red jumper and black flats.

Perhaps if your style is a bit more

edgy you could try pairing a

brighter patterned pair with

military style boots, and add

chunky jewellery.

Black skirt + Animal print

I am wary of animal print. I own a

pair of leopard print flats and one

dark leopard print V neck jumper,

so I paired the skirt with the

jumper and added opaque black

tights and knee-length mid heeled

black boots with simple jewellery.

I was surprised how classy it

looked… and how long my legs

looked!

Black skirt + Party top

I would normally consider my

black skirt too boring for a party,

but I tried pairing it with a

sleeveless purple sparkly top,

nude tights and some pretty gold

party shoes I found in a charity

shop. I added my black blazer and

a black evening bag with a gold

chain strap and felt quite

sophisticated as I headed off to a

21st birthday dinner.

I hope I’ve encouraged you to pull

out your black skirt and get

imaginative with styling.

Charity

Cancer patient at

Ashgate Hospice

marries partner

of 24 years in

“beautiful” ceremony

A grandfather with incurable cancer was

able to marry his beloved partner of 24

years at Ashgate Hospice thanks to the

support of the charity’s “fantastic” staff and

volunteers.

Paul Deffley tied the knot with his wife

Hilary Deffley at the Chesterfield hospice

earlier this month. The 71-year-old, who

has prostate and bone cancer, which has

spread to his spine, has received care on the

hospice’s Inpatient Unit for the past seven

weeks. The couple, from Eckington,

celebrated their special day at the Old

Brampton hospice on 11 November

surrounded by their close family. When

staff at Ashgate heard Paul had popped the

question, they got to work and organised

the special occasion in less than a week.

Paul, a former foundry and factory worker,

who was diagnosed in 2017, said the

wedding was “just beautiful” and praised

the hospice for getting “every detail just

right”. He said: “We have been together for

24 years and it got to the stage where

instead of Hilary being a partner, I wanted

her to be my wife! I made the decision to

ask Hilary a couple of weeks ago but

without the hospice and the help of local

businesses it wouldn’t have happened. They

helped with the flowers, the car, the cake,

the chairs – everything was just done up

beautifully. Everyone at Ashgate has just

been fantastic and I can’t fault them at all.

All the staff got together and not only fixed

the wedding together, but they all wanted

to attend it. I’ve got really close to the staff

since I’ve been here, and they all came

along to watch and were crying. They’re all

brilliant and I’m so grateful for their love

and support.”

Hilary, 61, who stopped working as a carer

a couple of years ago so she could care for

Paul, added: “It was a shock to me when

Paul asked me the question – I wasn’t

expecting it!

“The wedding was absolutely lovely. They

managed to get Paul’s suit, shirt and

everything on. He looked lovely – if I do say

so myself! Ashgate has gone above and

beyond for us and to have all our family

there was so special.”

Hilary’s children, Leanne, Nicola, Daniel,

Natalie and Shannon, and Paul’s son Lee,

were all in attendance at the ceremony,

which took place in the hospice’s Inpatient

Unit. The pair met in 1998 at their local pub,

The West End, which has now closed, and

have fond memories of going on holidays to

the likes of Greece and Spain together.

Asked what they put their longevity down

to, Paul said: “We just don’t fall out – it’s as

simple as that. We both get on and seem to

have the same ideas; we just want the same

thing as one another.”

Paul, who was in extreme pain when he was

admitted to Ashgate at the beginning of

October, insists he feels like “a new man”

after the care he has received. He has now

returned home where he will continue

receiving care, but says he is keen to return

to Ashgate if his condition deteriorates.

“I’ve been taken good care of by everyone

here at Ashgate and have been able to focus

on spending time and making memories

with Hilary and my family,” added Paul. I

had concerns about coming in here; you get

things in your head about hospices and

that’s what happened to me. I soon realised

– even on the first day I was here –that it

was the right thing for me to do. I was

struggling quite a lot before I came in as I

had been in pain for a long time. I was

putting up with it and it just wouldn’t go

away. Then when I came to the hospice, they

knew what to do and sorted it right away.

Everyone is so friendly, and everyone is on

first name terms – it just feels like a home,

away from home.”

Ashgate Hospice would like to thank the

businesses which helped make Paul and

Hilary’s wedding so special, including:

• Johnny Wray, from Spire Marquees, who

provided chairs and champagne glasses

• Ellie, from EKR Pictures, for the most

stunning photos

• Hazel and Jan at Weddings by Dragonfly

for transforming the room

• Ellie at Tineke Floral Designs for the

gorgeous flowers

• Sarah Jayne Cave for making a beautiful

wedding cake

• Designer Contracts for supporting us with

new flooring

• Sarah Boden for providing goody bags for

the younger wedding guests

• John Plant MBE of GW Price Ltd who

provided celebratory fizz and sponsored

the food which was provided by the

Hospice catering team

• Mark at Spire Limousines who provided

the beautiful wedding car

Travel

5 Tips for

Planning

Your Dream

Honeymoon

When calm is restored after the initial

excitement of ‘popping the question’

(assuming the answer is ‘Yes’) … then

comes the rest!

For most couples, this is a truly special trip

– the first long, exotic holiday together and

the start of their new lives as a married

couple. So, you want it to be perfect, right?

Sadly, it is possible to do this heavenly trip

wrong, and a few simple mistakes could

endanger your wonderful trip. But we

don’t want that – we want you to have the

time of your lives. So here are my 5 top tips

for planning the perfect honeymoon,

whatever your tastes.

1. Check the Weather Before You Book

If you’ve been dreaming of a winter

wedding followed by a glorious beach

honeymoon, you need to do some serious

planning beforehand. Despite some of

these destinations seeming ‘always

sunny’, most of them have wet seasons,

hurricane seasons and harsh winters that

could ruin your ideal sunny honeymoon.

2. Use A Trusted Travel Agent

With a wedding to plan, the honeymoon

often ends up being an afterthought for

busy couples. But your honeymoon is one

of the most special holidays you will ever

have, so you should make it memorable.

Using a trusted travel agent means you will

have access to all sorts of hidden perks

from complimentary champagne and fruit

platters in your room to spa access and

romantic dining experiences.

Not only that, l have direct contact with a

wide range of hotels that offer fantastic

benefits packages for honeymooning

couples, so you can get the 5-star

treatment for a fraction of the cost.

There’s one more benefit to using a

trusted travel agent to arrange your

honeymoon, and that’s complete peace of

mind.

At Lisa Byers Travel, I can completely tailor

your honeymoon experience and take care

of all the little details – like luggage, seat

reservations, car transfers, and hotel

bookings – so you can enjoy a stress-free,

seamless honeymoon from start to finish.

3. Ask For Contributions

If you’re desperate for a particular

honeymoon but your budget won’t quite

stretch to it, you might want to consider a

honeymoon gift list. Honeymoon

contributions as wedding gifts have been

growing in popularity over the last few

years, especially since most couples

getting married already live together. This

makes the ‘traditional’ wedding gifts of

linens and china a bit redundant, so

instead ask your wedding guests to help

you put together the perfect honeymoon.

I can offer a unique gift registry service

that makes it simple and easy to manage

your donations. Guests can buy a particular

activity for you, or simply give a sum of

money for you to spend on you trip. Our

registry services include a web page, where

we can upload photos and messages, as well

as all the stationary you need to ask – and

thank – for your honeymoon gifts.

4. Read Trusted Reviews

It saddens me to say it, but every year I

deal with so many people who have been

taken in by fake reviews on their previous

holidays. Now if you’re reading a review of

your local pub, it’s unlikely they have hired

a reputation management company to

post fake reviews (after all, how much do

you spend in there? £30?).

But with hotels and big attractions, where

you’re often spending over £1000 before

you’ve even bought your first drink, fake

reviews are often posted to boost their

reputation and sabotage the competition.

You can avoid all of that by talking to a

trusted travel agent. As a franchise owner

of Travel Counsellors, we have access to

millions of hotel reviews worldwide from

trusted and certified sources, so you can

read real stories from real clients, without

worrying that you’re being lied to.

5. Budget Budget Budget!

Just like the wedding, the honeymoon

budget can easily spiral out of control. So,

when you’re talking honeymoons, it’s

important to set yourself a realistic

budget. From there, you can work out a

savings plan, how much you can pay off in

advance and whether you want your

guests to contribute.

By working out a budget, you avoid

overspending and having to make last

minute cutbacks on other elements of the

wedding. It also stops you from dipping

into the honeymoon fund if the wedding

starts to go over budget, as you know you

won’t be able to afford that wonderful

10-day trip if you take away from the pot.

But above all, planning the perfect

honeymoon means being true to yourself.

There is no such thing as a ‘one size fits all’

honeymoon, and this once in a lifetime trip

should be a celebration of everything that

makes your marriage unique.

As a Travel Counsellor, I love helping each

couple I work with craft the ideal

honeymoon for them – whether it’s

swimming in clear blue oceans or

hunkering down to watch the Northern

Lights together. With my network of

contacts and knowledge of luxury travel

worldwide, I can help plan the perfect

honeymoon for you.

So, let me book your next adventure, all

you need to do is pack!

Eckington’s Got Talent Exceeds £10,000 raised for local charities!

Last year marked 11 years for Eckington’s Got Talent

There has been some fantastic ability

displayed over the years at Eckington’s Got

Talent. They have had acts auditioning for

Britain's Got Talent, and others put through

to Got What It Takes on CBBC. Georgie, on

the latter show, not only got through, but

won!

Highlights of the show include a group of

the singers and dancers performing to

1940s tunes to remember the anniversary

of WW2 while in lockdown. One of which

was on Sir Captain Tom's Facebook page

which went all around the world. Through

this, Shrinjoy became an honorary member

of EGT all the way from Illinois America!

Shrinjoy wanted to join in, and sang in one

of the lockdown shows, as well as the

Christmas shows on Sir Capt Tom's page.

The Poppy Appeal

Cardiac Risk In The Young

The Child Foundation

Bluebell Wood Children's Hospice

RACE Animal Care

Rain Animal Rescue

Ashgate Hospicecare

All the acts agree this has been a fantastic

experience, as it was for local resident

Gillian Parker. She said, “I never dreamed

when I started in 2012 we would be going

11 years later and raise so much for local

charities. But all good things come to a end

and last year was our last one. I want to

thank everyone that took part in the show

over the years. We have seen acts grow up

and follow their dreams, and even come

back as guests on our later shows! Plus,

most importantly, we know the money

went to good causes.”

Gillian continued, “Everyone that gave us

raffle and auction prizes - there was so

many of you to thank. Judges Steve April,

Amanda, Sal, Nick, Jim, Jessica and Max. We

had a few hosts over the years Sean, April,

Richard thank you all.”

“Also thank you to Alan, Lee and April for

being our sound engineers.”

Soldiers of Swing, finalists on BGT, hosted

the very last show and what a night it was.

A complete sell out for with plenty of guest

acts from over the years.

Julian Smith (finalist on BGT) joined

everyone to raise money for the NHS on a

lockdown show on the net. April, Loretta,

Georgie, Immy and Keria took part. The

youngest acts received thank you cards

from Sir Capt Tom and some even received

Blue Peter badges. Lockdown was very busy

for EGT!

All in all £10,129.00 has been raised for local

charities through the 11 years which has

gone to:-

The Guide Dogs For The Blind

The Royal National College for the Blind

Thornberry Animal Sanctuary

Other companies that offered support

along the way include:-

Roman Roads Systems Ltd

Petersman Folk Life Trust

Motionfive

Eckington Rotary

Eckington Town Team

Gillian finished, “On our last night we had

help from Emily, Diane, Ricky, Lewis, Mick

and Martin. The celebration couldn't have

been achieved without you all!”
