Hello and a warm welcome to a brand new community magazine to help you discover not
only what’s going on in Riddings, Leabrooks and Swanwick but also to inform you about
the local businesses and services that are on your doorstep.
This edition highlights Autumn Footprints, which is an annual walking festi-
val co-ordinated by Amber Valley County Council and run by local communi-
ties and volunteers with the aim of keeping us fit, whilst showing us the beau-
tiful countryside that is on all our doorsteps.
This month we are also running an article on Derbyshire County Coun-
cils Trusted Trader Scheme, accompanied by local Trusted Trader Com-
panies who can help us all make those long awaited improvements to our
homes and gardens.
Other things to look out for include the recipe for Hunters Stew on Page 24, which features
the meat of the month, Venison, which can be purchased from Owen Taylor Butchers.
Don’t forget to visit Saffron , The Beauty Room and Walkers Bingo to take full advantage
of the discounts available exclusively to Amber Valley Voice readers.
Finally, if the lack of summery weather is getting
you down, why not book a break on
www.holidayhawk.co.uk on pages 18/19 and prior
to getting into that bikini, get a couple of work
outs booked in at Fizzio-Fit on page 10/11.
In the meantime if there is something else happen-
ing in the area which you think should feature in
the next magazine, please drop me a line.
Until next month, happy reading!
Emily

Editors Choice After speaking to Tessa at the beauty room about my oil prone and open pored skin, she recom-mended a microdermabrasion treatment. I booked in and visited Tessa at home, where the environment was welcoming and relaxing. As soon as she had finished, the results were instantly visible and my skin looked amazing. I would recommend this to anyone whatever your skin type and the price was perfect…..which matches my skin!!

24 ‘Meat of the Month’
SeptemberisVenison Hunters Stew (serves 6)
Ingredients
Method
Ask your butcher to trim the meat for you or do it yourself remov-
ing all the bone or sinew and cut into 5cm cubes. Toss in flour and
add a little salt and pepper. Sauté the shallots in the butter and a
teaspoon of water in a large casserole dish until soft but not
browned. Remove the onions and
add the bacon, cubed, fry until
golden; then remove.
Using the fat in the dish brown the
venison, then add the shallots and
bacon to the casserole. Add bay
leaves and mixed herbs, cover
and put in a slow oven (150oC,
Gas Mark 2) for 2 hours.
Reduce the wine over high heat to
half the original quantity, add to
the stew with carrots and potatoes,
and cook for a further hour.

WinterContainerorHangingBasket.
Whilst we hold out hope for an Indian summer you can’t help but notice the days getting
that bit cooler and the nights closing in. So, why not do something to add a bit of cheer to
your garden during those long winter months and try planting a winter hanging basket or-
container ?
Instead of the usual plants try planting a small
conifer such as cupressus macrocarpa goldcrest
in the centre of the display. Around this you can
plant more hardy bedding plants such as Univer-
sal Pansy, Mini Cyclamen or Bedding Daisies.
Then, try planting a variegated Ivy around the
sides to hang down. If you are of a culinary ilk
sage can also be used, as this is both attractive
and useful.
Top Tip
Why not keep a few spare plants to one side in case any gaps form in your display. This
way they can be easily filled.
Be careful… in winter compost in small containers can freeze so either use a large container
or consider using preventative methods, such as sacking around the container.

My partner and I are running the Bupa Great North Run
this year, taking place on the 19th of this month.
This year we have decided to try and raise some
money for Macmillan because cancer has touched our
lives as it has most peoples. All the fantastic work Mac-
millan do is based on donations and they really need our
support.
Therefore, if Macmillan is a charity that you would be
interested in supporting, why not log onto our page and
donate;
www.justgiving.com/Emily-Liam
Both ourselves and Macmillan would really appreciate
anything that you can give.
Many Thanks
Emily
