Just recently we have had a very busy and worrying week. We have had our annual whole herd T.B. test. Over the past twenty years T.B. has spread from the South West and here, in the Peak District, we are classed as being ‘on the edge’, with infected herds only a few miles away. Determined to stop this terrible disease, Defra has put us from a four-yearly test onto a yearly one. This means that every animal on the farm, from six week old calves onward, needs to be tested.
One after the other almost 250 animals have to go through the crush, a holding pen, so that the vet can give them two small injections. We have to
draft in some local help in handling such a number of cattle, and bacon butties for breakfast and a warm meal at lunchtime helps to keep them going on a cold winter’s day. It’s an opportunity for the vet, family and helpers gathered in the farm kitchen, to catch up on farming news.
Three days later, the vet returns to see the results, checking to see if any have reacted. If an animal has a reaction it has to be slaughtered and the farm is shut down. This means that no animal can leave the farm except to go for slaughter. It could be devastating for the business, especially the Charolais cattle which are nearly all
sold for breeding.A further two tests at 60 day intervals
would have to follow and all animals have to be clear before restrictions are lifted. The problem with some farms is that animals keep getting infected, thought to be from badgers carrying the disease. Tens of thousands of cattle are slaughtered every year causing stress and financial loss to hundreds of farmers so let’s hope that T.B. in animals can be stamped out somehow in the coming years.
After checking all the cattle, the vet gave us an ‘all clear’ so we can breathe a sigh of relief for another year!

On behalf of my family and myself, we wish to express our gratitude for all the letters/cards of condolences and kind words we have received following Derrick’s death recently. My gratitude goes to all those that helped me in any way during Derrick’s 4 month stay in Chesterfield Royal Hospital .
The last four weeks of Derrick’s life was spent in Thornhill House, the care he received there was exemplary.

Hathersage Bank RobberyAt around 9am on Thursday 21st February an armed robbery took place at The Royal Bank of Scotland on Main Road, Hathersage.
Two men are thought to have walked down a footpath that runs near to The Croft and entered the bank via the roof at around 6:20am.
Staff were threatened and left terrified and a substantial amount of money was stolen. The men then left the bank via the main entrance at 9:05am and made off along Main Road towards the NatWest Bank.
The men were described as white, in their early 40s, around 5ft 11ins tall wearing black balaclavas, black stretchy gloves and heavy work-type boots. One of the men was wearing a black hooded top with a pattern on and the other was wearing a grey hooded top, both with the hoods worn up. They were carrying a large black/blue holdall.
Some of the money stolen was protected by a security device that would have released red dye when activated; therefore the police would like the public to contact them if they saw anyone with red dye on them at any point yesterday.
Also if shop owners or banks have had anyone trying to purchase items with or deposit money that was stained with red dye they are asked to contact police.
Police are appealing for anyone who may have seen anyone acting suspiciously in the area at around 6am to come forward.
The British Bank Association are offering a £15,000 reward for any information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the offenders.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police using the non-emergency 101 number.

Sales this month were a rather depressed £346, typical of this time of year. However, the new Spring/Summer catalogue is now available in its more compact form to save paper and postage, and has some very interesting innovations. I mentioned last month Traidcraft's efforts to re-introduce Palm Oil production into Africa. This is one of the world's most traded commodities and is in more than half the packaged products we buy from the shops. The new range of fairly traded cleaning materials is featured on pages 63-65 of the catalogue, and I have several of most of these items for you to try.
Easter is rapidly approaching so don't forget your Real Easter Eggs; the only such to tell the story of Easter. The basic eggs are fairly traded milk chocolate, cost £3.95 each, contain a bag of chocolate buttons and generate a 10p donation to Traidcraft Exchange. There is also a Special Edition with an olive wood cross and an orange choc bar, and a Sharing Box for use in an Easter Egg hunt. All of these are illustrated on page 61.
Also take a look at the wide range of ground coffees on page 45, the delightful cards on page 40/41, the Easter gifts on page 21 and the interesting garden items on page 11. Do please look out for the catalogues or give me a call. Happy shopping!

My Friends,
Notes from St Giles’
The tower of the parish church is the home of several families of jackdaw who nest in the louvers and perch in the lime trees which grow on the west side of the churchyard. You can hear their call which sounds rather like their name, although ‘jack’ actually refers to their size: it means ‘small’; in the 15th century they were simply called ‘daws’. They pair for life and if one dies the other will often remain alone and not find a new mate. Their Latin name is Corvus monedula, which reflects the belief that they are attracted to shiny objects such as coins.
To the north of the church are several tall trees. For several years rooks have built their nests here although the storms of the last month have wrecked them. Last spring a number of new nests were built. Birds from one nest would wait for their neighbours to fly off before stealing sticks from the vacant nest. When those birds returned they waited until the others had gone to do the same.
These trees are also the home for tawny owls and in March great spotted woodpeckers drum on dead branches. Blackbirds and thrushes sing from the treetops and a mistle thrush has its nest in one of the yew trees. One of the smallest birds in this country is the goldcrest. I have seen them in the large yew tree in the churchyard but have yet to find a nest. Their nest is one of the most attractive of all: small and mossy it is suspended from the tip of a conifer branch about six feet from the ground.
March is the month when the first butterflies may appear. Last year there was late snow and I did not see a butterfly until 11th April; a small tortoiseshell. The year before, 2012, I saw a tortoiseshell in the second week of March. This common species, which hibernates as an adult, is often the first to appear. The peacock, which also hibernates as an adult, is similar and they will fly on any warm day in spring. The green veined white and small white may also be seen in March but you must usually wait until April for the holly blue. This small butterfly which lays its eggs on holly or ivy has a brilliant blue upper wing and silvery under wing and flies at head height or higher, which helps to distinguish it from the common blue.. They are often found in churchyards and I have seen them here.
With the lime trees that grow around the church I have hoped to find the lime hawk moth but so far have been unsuccessful. They are not the largest hawk moth but are beautifully camouflaged with greens and russet browns.
The south facing walls of the church are an ideal habitat for the zebra spider, so called because it has black and white stripes. These are one of the Salticidae family and have large forward facing eyes which look a bit like old fashioned headlights on a car. Theses large eyes help them find their prey, which they pounce on, rather than catch in a web. They bask in the sun on walls and if you put a finger near their head they will turn to look at it.
Churchyards used to provide a green oasis in many towns and cities. The fashion, which only began to prevail some thirty years ago, of cutting the grass to make a churchyard like a lawn has however reduced the number of species you can find. Few wild flowers grow and brambles, stinging nettles and long grasses, which provide a habitat for so many endangered species, are cut back. Yet even so there is much to see and enjoy.
Yours sincerely,Fr Christopher Benson
The Meeting for the Election of Churchwardens and the Annual Parochial Church Meeting will take place immediately after the Parish Eucharist on Sunday 23rd March.
In preparation for these meetings a revision will take place of the Church Electoral Roll. If you wish your name to be added please take a form from church and return it to me or one of the churchwardens as soon as possible.

Annual Meeting
It was, with sadness, that we heard the news of Sue Hillyard’s death on Sunday 16th February. Sue’s health had been causing her many problems, particularly in the past few years, so we are thankful that she was at home with her daughters, grandsons and many of her carers supporting each other during her last few days. Our prayers
and thoughts are with them all.Our Lenten Observance will begin
on Ash Wednesday, 5th March, with Daily Prayers at 8am in St Giles’. We will also have a Eucharist at 7pm on that day, giving us a good grounding for this solemn season. By tradition the Daily Prayers at 8am will be held every weekday morning until Holy Saturday, 19th April.
Don’t forget to celebrate Shrove Tuesday, on Tuesday 4th March. Our case and director are frantically putting the last minute touches to our church play on Friday 7th and Saturday 8th March at 7pm in St Giles’. Tickets are available in advance from me at Haven Cottage, so do please ring me on 640961 if you wish to make your reservations. The more the merrier! After all it wouldn’t be the same if we didn’t have some robust ‘audience participation’.
Mothering Sunday is on 30th March, a delightful respite in the middle of Lent which is such a reflective time for us at St Giles’ and every other church. This day is followed by Passion Sunday, 6th April, Palm Sunday, 13th April and Holy Week with Good Friday culminating in Easter Sunday on 20th April.
A s u s u a l w e i n v i t e y o u t o commemorate loved ones no longer with us by donating towards Easter lilies in fond remembrance. If you would like to take part please get in touch with Mrs Judy Fraser-Smith on 640378, or our churchwardens: Mike Hurst on 640212 or Frank Hammond on 640479. The latest date to be included will be Palm Sunday, 13th April.
We shouldn’t have the prospect of a water shortage and hosepipe ban this year in certain parts of the country, but we can certainly hope that all the unfortunate people who have been so badly affected by the severe flooding will be able to soon settle into their homes with the appropriate backing and support they need.
Take care every one.Pam Smith
