Hello again
We recently spent a long weekend away with friends in Leyburn, Yorkshire to recharge our batteries and celebrate our wedding anniversary. We booked into a couple of very nice restaurants while we were there and an incident at one of them reminded us of a fundamental principle when ordering wine in a restaurant.
Our friend ordered a bottle of South African Chenin Blanc off the wine list. When the waiter brought the wine, he opened it, poured it in our glasses and put it in an ice bucket. Considering this was a very good restaurant, I was a little surprised he had not asked us to taste it prior to pouring, but they were very busy that evening.
When we tasted the wine we were very surprised, as it was sweet. I didn’t say anything, as I didn’t want to offend my friend and Chenin Blanc can sometimes be sweet. I just thought I would save mine for the desert course instead.
Fortunately, my friend also noticed and so we then looked a little closer at the bottle. We discovered it was a late harvest Sauvignon Blanc - the waiter had brought us the wrong wine completely. When we mentioned it, he apologised and went to get us the correct wine and we could see where the mistake was made, as the labels on both bottles looked almost identical. Unfortunately, he took the wrong one away (even though we’d all had a sip of it!)
The moral of the story is always check the label before the wine is opened and taste the wine before agreeing to accept it. You’re not a wine snob – but just making sure it’s what you’re paying for. This tasting is not to check if you like the wine, but to see if the wine is tainted, or corked. If it is corked, it will smell like moldy newspaper, wet dog, damp cloth or damp basement; the wine's native aromas are reduced significantly.
Nowadays many wines are being served in screw cap bottles which means there is less risk of the wine being tainted after it is bottled, hence why the screw cap is becoming more commonly used by producers.
The Chenin Blanc we had in Leyburn, was in fact a very nice wine, so I have selected a Chenin Blanc for you to try this month - not from South Africa, but from New Zealand. This is not a widely grown grape down there, so it was interesting to try.
Brand: Esk Valley
Type: Vineyard Selection
Region: Hawkes Bay, New Zealand
Year: 2008
Grape: Chenin Blanc
Alcohol Strength: 14%
Style – White
Bouquet – Delightful fresh nose of crisp melon and softer tropical fruits
Flavour - Honey, quince and stone-fruit with a mineral-like acidity. The palate is full with a touch of residual sugar balancing the acidity
Price: £7.99, H Smith, Ashbourne.
Ideal with seafood, Asian and Indian-style dishes

Lathkill & Bradford Dale
Walk supplied by Angela Clarke of Belper www.peakwalker.net
Start: Moor Lane car park (SK 1939 6445)
Route: Moor Lane car park - Cales Dale - Lathkill Dale - Conksbury Bridge - Alport - Bradford Dale - Moor Lane car park
Distance: 8 miles Ascent: 368 metres Terrain: Good paths, one steep climb.
Refreshments and toilets: None on the route but they are available in Over Haddon and Youlgreave.
Note: Part of the route is on a concessionary track, which may be closed on Wednesdays between October 1st and January 1st.
Although this walk is a pleasure at any time of the year it is, in my opinion, at its best in late spring or early summer, when the flowers are out and the birds, ducks and fish make the rivers a hive of activity.
From the car park entrance turn left, back to the road. Cross the road and follow the signed Limestone Way diagonally across the field to two stone ladder stiles, diagonally opposite each other.
Continue diagonally across the next field towards the wood on the skyline. Cross a further stile before reaching the wood, which is entered via a gate.
Exit the wood via a stone stile and continue diagonally across the field, heading to the right of the farm buildings, to a gate into the next field, which is the start of a route around the farm.
Take the gate opposite, into the wood on the left of the field. Exit this wood via another gate and follow the clear path through two more gates to a field on the other side of the farm buildings. From here you get your first view of the limestone outcrops that are a feature of this section of Lathkill Dale.
Follow the signed path diagonally downhill, passing through four gates, to reach the top of the steps down into Cales Dale. Take the steps to reach a stile at the bottom. After crossing the stile turn right to follow a path to Lathkill Dale. Cross the bridge and turn right to walk alongside the River Lathkill. You will soon see the limestone outcrop ‘Parson’s Crag’ ahead of you. Shortly after that you pass a small, but delightful, waterfall, which I find impossible to simply pass by. The spot is ideal for a coffee break.
Having finally managed to drag yourself away from the waterfall continue following the river. You soon reach a bridge, which gives you access to Bateman’s House, where there is also a shaft that you are allowed to explore.
Having explored Bateman’s House return to the main path and continue along the main track passing, amongst other things, the remains of an old aqueduct and entrances to old mine shafts. Eventually you reach a gate onto the road to Over Haddon, but have you paid the fee for using the footpath, as the sign in the tree close to the gate advises you?
Thankfully you’re not heading up the hill but turning right. Ignore the bridge across the river and instead follow the track, on the left, between the house and the river. After passing through a gate the path widens and the river, when viewed from here, often appears to be a wonderful mix of blues and greens, a result of the slate that covers the bottom of the river. Continue along this path passing the weirs on this stretch of the river until you reach the gate onto the road at the medieval Conksbury Bridge.
Turn right and cross Conksbury Bridge to find a footpath on the left. Follow the clear footpath across several fields and a minor road to eventually reach the hamlet of Alport.
Cross the road and take the signed track opposite to enter Bradford Dale. Follow the clear track through Bradford Dale to a road. Cross the road and walk in front of the small row of cottages to reach a gate. Take the gate and follow the path, which will take you past the weirs and swimming area in Bradford Dale. This section of the dale has several benches making it the ideal place to rest your legs before you start the steep climb out of the dale.
At the next gate turn left to cross the bridge over the river and then continue along the riverbank passing the private fishing pools. As the pools are usually very clear it is easy to spot the fish swimming there even if you’re not allowed to catch them. This area is also a wonderful place for listening to bird-song, especially if you can get there when it is quiet. At the next bridge cross back over the river and follow the steep track uphill to a road.
Turn right along the road and then pause to admire the wonderful views across the valley towards Stanton Moor. After passing a house, on the left of the road, take the gate into a field on the left and follow the path uphill. Exit the field by a stile onto a road. Don’t take the signed footpath opposite; instead turn left along the road to take the next footpath, which heads uphill towards some trees.
Follow the clear, signed, footpath to a gate, which you go through and follow the track back to the car park.
We have taken reasonable steps to ensure that this walk is safe and achievable by walkers of a realistic level of fitness.
The publisher accepts no responsibility for any injuries caused to readers whilst following the walk. Always wear appropriate clothing and footwear.

The View from the Projection Box with Ritz Cinema projectionist Paul Winfield
How wonderful it was to see Carey Mulligan pick up Best Actress award at the Baftas in her first film An Education. If she goes on to win an Oscar as well, it will be truly stunning. Be sure a golden future in cinema is already assured.
Of course, the really big award ceremony – The Ritzys – are taking place in June! It’s our third Ritzy Awards Night; the members’ votes are being counted, and a very special night on the red carpet will be enjoyed by our special guests and the lucky members picked at random.
So, onto the films coming to The Ritz. Originally scheduled for release last year, the latest film from director Martin Scorsese – Shutter Island – reaches our screens this spring with an impressive cast including Leonardo DiCaprio, Mark Ruffalo and Ben Kingsley. Shutter Island is a psychological horror-thriller set in 1950s America.
I Love you Phillip Morris has already caused controversy in the States. It brings together Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor in a true story of life, love and prison breaks.
Emma Thompson repeats her 2005 role as Nanny McPhee, the nanny played by Maggie Gyllenhaal who is trying to run the family farm while her husband is away at war.
The versatile and lovely Sandra Bullock, who’s up for Best Actress Oscar, stars in The Blind Side – the story of a middle class family who take in a homeless teenager who has run away from a broken home and help him to realise his dream of becoming an all-American football player.
The Easter holidays fall in the period I’m looking at and all the family should be well catered for at The Ritz with the new Alice in Wonderland, Disney’s Princess and the Frog, and Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightening Thief.
Well, hopefully once again there is something for everyone at The Ritz.

Life with V By Valerie Spencer Becks of Belper
I have decided to write The Homeowners Guide to dealing with an intruder or burglar in your home.
The first thing to do when you come across somebody in your home wielding a gun, machete, knife or similar item, day or night, is to not assume they are there for criminal reasons. They may have mistaken your house for theirs and you must assume that they are simply looking for the kettle to make a cuppa and have a balaclava on because they are cold.
Before taking any action, determine the level of threat the intruder is going to put you under as it determines what level of force you can use to remove them from your home. Stop them for a minute and ask them what their intentions are.
If they intend to simply rob you and leave you, let them to get on with it because they apparently won’t harm you. If they indicate they are going to rob and beat you up a bit, give them a bit of a slap and hope that will deter them. If they are going to attack you then you apparently have to wait until they do it before taking any action, because it might just all be talk. They might not get around to it, so in that case you are defending yourself against a non-threat. If they intend to attack you and your family, take a few moments to determine what you feel is reasonable force, hoping they haven’t actually gone ahead and done it already.
The well-being of the criminal who has broken into your private home must be taken into consideration - far above all threats to you, your family or your neighbours. Having said this I would just like to say that if anybody is in my house who has not been specifically invited, I will have a tendency to hit back and ask questions later.
I do apologise to any burglars in advance for this totally inconsiderate course of action and do hope that I will not cause you any serious damage because I am sure you broke into my home with the best of intentions!!!!
Isn’t it absolutely ridiculous? Perhaps if a few more burglars did get attacked by homeowners it might deter a good number of them from breaking in the first place - or is it just me who thinks like this???

It’s a Dog’s Life Life through the eyes of Scrambles, a Belper-based Cairn Terrier
Not a great deal to talk about this time around. Our Mum hasn’t taken us anywhere exciting, nothing horrendous has happened to us (but give us time) – well actually that’s not quite true I didn’t fall in the river but …
We were out walking on Eyes Meadow one bright cold morning. As we were charging along the path a couple of ducks flew out in front of me. Being the well behaved hounds that we are I decided they needed to be chased. I am sure I heard my Mum calling, but something she calls ‘selective hearing’ kicked in and I momentarily forgot what “come here” meant!
Off I ran. I jumped in the river after the duck and then halfway up the river decided I didn’t actually like swimming and as I was well out of my depth I panicked. I headed for the nearest bank thinking I would climb up but it was too steep so I clung on for dear life and started to feel very afraid - and I’m embarrassed to admit that I whimpered a bit.
My daft Mum was yelling at me to come back to her but there was no chance I was going to risk getting into that water again and I was getting very frightened. Even Chaos came a little way in but didn’t venture any further.
Our Mum finally decided that I was indeed going to have to be rescued so she peeled off her boots and socks and rolled up her trousers and climbed into the river to get to me. She was saying not very nice words at the time and she has threatened to take me to something called ‘the pound’ if I say what she said. Something to do with the water being very cold and owning an extremely intelligent, clever and brave wee doggie – well that’s what I heard anyway!
Then she decided that instead of trying to pick me up that she would drag me into the water and make me swim back so she grabbed my collar, yanked me into the water (like I needed another dip that morning), and I had to swim back to Chaos who was very worried.
We charged off to dry off in the grass. I did get lots of hugs in between getting told off for chasing ducks. Our Mum’s feet were a very peculiar shade of blue but we did our best to lick the water off them and get them dry for her and I let her know that I was very, very sorry. Our Mum and the air over Eyes Meadow were definitely a little blue that morning.
And just to show you how nice our Mum can be (once she stopped shivering), she even, after getting her socks and boots back on, continued with our walk so we could have more fun. We were however warned that we were going to be glue if we jumped in the river again – not sure what glue is but I suspect this threat is not something we should look forward to with undiluted joy and abandon.
I was very frightened, Chaos was very worried, and our Mum was really annoyed with me, but I think she was just pleased to have me back safe and sound and on solid ground.
I don’t think I will be chasing any more ducks anytime soon though. Oh gotta go -just seen a rabbit that needs chasing!
Happy Hunting
