Spring has sprung and summer is around the corner

and can’t you tell?! There is so much activity going on everywhere. There are some fantastic local events and

activities to do that staying indoors is no longer an op-tion! Isn’t it amazing what a bit of sunshine can do!

Voice HQ has been very busy this month developing plans for future issues. It is strange to think that just

under 3 years ago, our little magazine was only going to 2500 homes and now we are delivering to over 10,000. We are working hard to develop this into a useful

guide for you and we are constantly looking for more advertisers, local clubs, societies and not-for profit organisations and community news to deliver through your door. So please keep contributing, it’s a magazine developed by local people

for local people, so please help us to support your community.

On that note, Mike sent me an e-mail this month to say that he had recently walked the December walk and the path has been blocked around point 8 & 9. This is

something we will be looking into but please be aware if you walk that walk again.

We have some fantastic advertisers again this month, who can help you get your house and yourself ship shape and ready to enjoy the much promised summer

sunshine.

See you next month,

Emily

Book Review - Quiet by Susan Cain

Anunusualsortofbookmadeitswayintothe

bestseller charts last year which probably

saysquitealotabouthowweliketoponder

whatmakesustick.

Quiet.Thepowerofintrovertsinaworldthat

can’t stop talking by Susan Cain (an

introvert) aims to take a look at the

way theWesternworld tends tovalue

extroverts – the kidswho speak up in

class, the fun people at parties, the

peoplewhoactuallyenjoygivingatalk

toaroomfulofpeoplewhileintroverts

are often pushed towards feeling

there’s something lacking or “wrong”

withtheirdesireforlessstimulation.

As Susan Cain points out, introverts gave us

the theory of relativity and the Apple

computersothere’snoshortageofachievers

amongst them.And Itoffersreassurance, for

instance, that it’sokay toslopeoff tospend

timebyyourself, orbeboredbysmalltalk-

even that refusing invitations to a night out

doesn’tmakeyouweirdoranti-social.

It’s not a psychology book, nor a self help

book and because Cain is American, quite a

few of the examples she uses relate to the

American experience; but

nevertheless there’s a lotof insights

to be drawn if you think you are

introverted andwant to understand

yourself a bit better - or even if

you’rethepartner/parent/bossofan

introverted person who frustrates

you with their need for quiet

downtime.

negotiate times when they “go for it” and

51/2 mile circular walk From Tibshelf Ponds via The Blackwell Trail This is a relatively gentle walk for you and your dog with the opportunity

to walk some of the fantastic trails in this area. The route will take around 3 hours. There are some hills and the terrain can be a little uneven so as usual

a good pair of boots are essential.

1. Park in the free car park at Tibshelf ponds, which can be accessed off Sunny Bank road, which leads off Shetland Road.

2. Exit the car park and turn right before taking the bridle path on your left beside a house. Follow the track until it meets the road crossing over to the pavement.

3. Turn left and pass under a bridge, after a short way take the signposted ‘Newton Link’ path on your right. At the end of the path cross over the road and turn right, heading into Newton.

4. At the roundabout turn right down Cragg Lane and walk for 1/2 a mile before taking Church Hill on your right. After about 30 meters take the footpath on your left, through a gate and walk down the path past Blackwell Church.

5. At the bottom of the path cross & turn right for 20 meters and then cross over the road to take the path through a gate. Carry on down the track until it brings you to the Blackwell Trail, turning left.

6. Walk along the trail past Hilcote. Before you reach the industrial estate at Huthwaite and immediately after passing through the second horse stile take the steps on your left.

7. Walk along the path by the stream , When you meet a fork take a left, then keeping left and cross the bridge over the stream and into the fields.

8. Turn right and walk along the outside of the field before crossing a stile and continuing along the outside of the next field.

9. Cross the stile on your right and cross the bridge. At the road cross over and turn left. When the road bends to the left take the bridleway on your right.

10. Cross the stiles and at the end of the track pass through a gate and walk on a short way before passing through another gate.

11. After the gate walk straight across the next field and cross a stile. Turn right, walking around the outside of the field. After the first corner of the field pass through a gap next to a tree and continue to your left around the outside of the next field.

12. Continue until you reach a stile on the second side of the field. Cross directly across the field on the path to reach a stile that will bring you onto the Silver Hill trail.

13. Turn left on the trail. Continue on under two bridges before reaching a signpost. Take the path on your right that leads to Tibshelf.

14. Walk along the path, keeping to the left as you meet a junction that has three choices. This path takes you through the Tibshelf Ponds area and onto the car park where you began.

This walk is for illustrative purposes only. The Amber Valley Voice takes no responsibility for anyone who

chooses to follow this route and encourages all walkers to obey all byelaws and signs and to respect the

area they are walking in, ensuring they pick up all dog mess and obey the countryside code at all times.

number shown on your PAYE code notice and

ask them to change your PAYE codes. You will

need to have your NI number to hand, and

estimates as well as the expected level of

dividends, interest or other income to be

received in 2013/14.
