Usually I only write about one or two pets, however today I thought that I could go full out and do three animals! Since Aidan lives with a lot of animals I thought I would do a farm animal, and two unusual pets that I haven’t yet written about. The first animal is a gecko named Minty. Minty is a leopard gecko and as suggested from the name, he has a distinctive leopard print pattern with some white markings. Moreover, like a leopard, Minty (unlike other geckos like him) is very active and likes to crawl around in his jungle of a tank! Some of the other things that he also likes to do are: try to escape from his tank by climbing up the walls even though he can’t escape! Amazingly, Aidan’s gecko has to live in a very hot climate which means that Aidan has the tank from around 70-90 degrees celsius, now that’s hot, I think I would probably melt! It’s all good talking about his gecko, but how did Aidan actually get it? Aidan decided that he wanted a gecko after seeing his cousin’s and taking a liking to it. Like always, I love to discuss food, and Minty’s favourite food (although it is not the nicest in the world) is crickets, meal worms and wax worms (as a treat). I thought that Minty was a lovely gecko . The second animal I chose is also a reptile, however quite a bit different to the gecko, it’s a lovely two year old Eastern Hermann tortoise called George. Although most tortoises become very big, George (who is actually funnily enough a girl and quite small) will become quite big in the end and will grow up to about twenty cm long. Like most tortoises, George is quite lazy and laid back, however she can also be quite cheeky and tries to crawl through gaps that her shell would never be able to squeeze through. She ends up getting half stuck before sitting there and waiting for someone to come and re- trieve her. Interestingly, George has a special type of shell from the beach, which she eats to help her shell grow and strengthen. That means that she will get stuck even more!! Some of the other things that she likes to eat are: fruit and flour pellets and dandelion leaves. Just like Minty, I thought that George was a brilliant animal with a lovely tempera- ment. My last animal is different to the others owned by Aidan. Lucy is a Gloucester Old Spot pig given to Aidan and his family when she was only eight weeks old. She is now a beautiful white and black spotted pig - seven years old - with ten piglets of her own. Like most pigs, to keep cool, she wallows in the mud which also acts as a barrier preventing sunburn. Lucy likes to eat pig nuts, vegetables and fruit, however rhubarb is poisonous to pigs. All pigs prefer to roam freely outside rather than being kept in pens. The piglets are very cute but let out deafening screeches when picked up as I discovered. Thank you to Aidan and his family for giving up their time to show me their pets and tell- ing me all about them. Thank you for reading this month’s Pets Corner, I hope you enjoyed it. 2 June 2018 3 Summer Edition 2018 Longford Parish Press Issue No 66 The Longford Book Group By Angela Churchill Reading and outings have been on our spring-time menu. We had a great day out at lovely Renishaw Hall, in- cluding a tour of the Hall’s apartments and rooms, where we heard the history of the eccentric and literary Edith, Osbert and Sacheveral Sitwell and their ancestors. Many artists and writers such as Evelyn Waugh, DH Lawrence and Whistler, were regular guests at Renishaw, where they were invited to visit, rest, relax and be creative. We’ve packed in two books. The first, The Making of Us by Lisa Jewell, (an author new to all of us, though she has a long list of best sellers to her name), is a family story with a difference. Robyn, Lydia and Dean know nei- ther their father nor each other, and we find out what happens when they meet for the first time at turning points in their lives. A couple of us found it a relaxing bedtime read, but most found all the happy outcomes in the story slightly hard to believe. Based on events in the book, we had a good chat about how rapidly attitudes towards family have changed, the benefits of living in a progressive society and whether there is such a thing as the perfect family. We gave this book a score of 6. Book of the Quarter, Address Unknown by Kressmann Taylor (Souvenir Press), Book Group Score 7 A very slim volume of about 30 short pages, packing quite a punch in the way it outlines the impact of ideology on a long term friendship. I missed the discussion about this book, but it is a rediscovered classic, prompted by a real event known to the author. When first published in 1938, it was a sensation in America and a best seller in the UK. It has been reprinted on numerous occasions and shows how a short, powerful story can often cre- ate far more public interest than a list of facts. Outlin- ing a period in history that is now well known; human nature, environment, friendship, family, self- preservation, greed and humanity are all themes. We’re currently in the mid- dle of reading a thriller – more next time. 3 June 2018 4 Summer Edition 2018 Longford Parish Press Issue No 66 Walks talk by Martin Grundy Jess & I were delighted to welcome 20 of our Longford walking friends to Hathersage for the first walk of the sea- son – postponed to 25th March because of somewhat inclement weather earlier in the month ie it was a white out! We all met chez nous for coffee, then a short but strenuous-ish walk in lovely sunshine, with some stunning views, before lunch back at the ranch. The fact that folk didn't leave until around 5pm, we took to be a sign that it had been a success! Unfortunately we missed Paul & Marion's walk in April & so this is what Paul has to say about it: The flu-like bug, otherwise known as the Hathersage Lurgy, (some people were laid low with a viral infection soon after the Hathersage visit – seemingly not hardy enough for “up north”! Ed) together with other commitments re- duced our numbers to a slight but very select five – Brian, Margaret, Mick, Alan and Paul. The walk was from Monyash, down Lathkill Dale, where the head stream was in full torrent and Tazzie was almost swept away whilst stick-chasing, up Cales Dale with its challenging “rock climb”, past One Ash Grange where sadly no one wanted to sample the home made ice-cream and back to Monyash on the Limestone Way with its airy views. Depending on who we believe the walk was either 4 miles, 4.5 miles or 6 miles. During the walk we managed to teach Alan the art of bird watching after his initial classification system of big, little, white, black and brown had proved sadly inade- quate. By the end he could identify Curlew and Green Woodpecker calls and is clearly poised for greater things. Mary, and about 500 bikers, joined us for refreshments afterwards at the Bull's Head, which we learnt was once called “The Hobbit”.

  • Limestone Loop
    LIMESTONE LOOP These three. and. four day walking holidays are ideal for independent walkers wishing to explore some of England's finest scenery in the Peak District National Park. The walking is not strenuous, being mainly through the gentle limestone landscape of the "White Peak". The walk is designed to start from Buxton (easy to reach by car, rail or bus), with the three day version finishing at Bakewell (from where there are regular daily buses for the return to Buxton). However, if you have more time to spare, the four-day option allows time to explore the delightful town of Bakewell or to visit medieval Haddon Hall, followed by a superb walk back to Buxton. Buxton to Hartington 12 miles/19km .This is a pleasant walk, which takes in a comfortable walker's pub in Crowdicote en- route. From Buxton you will climb up the valley side below Grinlow, eventually dropping down to the road between Harpur Hill and the Leek-Buxton road. The path climbs Countess Cliff and heads south to Diamond Hill, so named for the clear pieces of quartz to be found here. The route then climbs Leap Edge to reach Dalehead. From here head for the village of Hollinsclough with its little chapel and pretty school (now replaced by a more functional building), then take a delightful stroll down the valley through Glutton Bridge to Crowdicote and the Packhorse Inn. Continue down the valley to Pilsbury Castle Hill then climb out of the valley avoiding the road. You will soon reach Hartington, where a short climb up Hall Bank brings you to the Youth Hostel.
