We have all been affected in different ways, not able to meet up with family and friends, no hugs, no handshakes, but one thing I will remember is people having more time to stop and chat and getting to know new people in the village. Looking out from our back garden we look to Shap fell and the motorway, but how quiet it has been, but more traffic is now increasing again. The whole area has been quieter and nature has started to take over again. The bird song seems to be louder! We have spent some time on Sunbiggin Tarn, listening to the Curlews, Peewits and the wonderful sound of the skylarks, also watching the Swans with their Cygnets - what a wonderful sight and how refreshing for the mind! How blessed we are to live in this part of the country away from trouble and strife. Our neighbours and friends in Mount Pleasant have been coming together on a Thursday to clap for our N H S and front line workers. It’s been good to share in this. We also came together on V E day displaying flags and bunting and celebrating with a self-distancing street party. Muriel and I supplied cream scones and cakes. Wondering how to serve them I came up with the idea of serving them on a long-handled builder’s shovel covered with Union Jack serviettes! We had a happy afternoon and the weather was great. Over the last few weeks we have sadly lost two ladies from our community. First Mrs Lena Ratchford: Lena for many years ran our village shop, formerly the Co-op in Mount Pleasant. She was also involved with the British Legion. Secondly Mrs Ruth Parsley from Beckside Farm, Roundthwaite. Ruth for many years organized the Age Concern Day Centre in Tebay. She also helped with the Senior Citizens’ party. She was a member of the W I and a faithful and dedicated worker of the Methodist Church. These two ladies will be missed and we give thanks for their lives. A little verse to finish: In this troubled world it’s refreshing to find People who still have the time to be kind, Time to stretch out a hand in the hour of need. 4 Orton Surgery and Shap Medical Practice The Link during the APPOINTMENTS Lockdown Sadly, following advice from NHS England, it is not From the Editor possible at the moment to book a face to face doctors appointment at Orton surgery.

  • A Statistical and Geographical Analysis of Workplace Accidents in England and Wales
    A Statistical and Geographical Analysis of Workplace Accidents in England and Wales Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy by Linda Woods May 2017 Acknowledgements It has only been through the help and support of numerous people that this research has come to fruition, and to these people I am extremely grateful. First and foremost, I thank my supervisor, Professor Chris Lloyd, who has supported me throughout my studies. I have been incredibly fortunate to have such a knowledgeable, patient and encouraging supervisor who has helped guide me over the course of this research. Many thanks also to Professor Alex Singleton who convinced me to pursue my doctoral degree and provided many opportunities over the years, including presenting at two international conferences. I also extend this thanks to Professor Chris Brunsdon for contributing invaluable technical advice and support. Funding from the Economic and Social Research Council and support from the Health and Safety Executive, as the CASE award partner, made this research a reality, and to both I am hugely grateful. A special thanks goes to my fellow colleagues at the University of Liverpool for their support and advice, particularly during the write up stages of the thesis. The support from my friends and family has been immeasurable. A huge thanks in particular goes to my mother-in-law, Wendy Woods, for proof reading every word I have written. My Dad has been a pillar of support throughout my studies and I cannot thank him enough for his wisdom and guidance.

  • The Villager March 2017 Draft Final
    Murton - cum - Hilton Issue 65 March 2017 THE VILLAGER Editorial: Welcome to the 65th edition of The Villager. As always, many thanks to those who have contributed to this edition, a plea for those contributions to continue, and also for additional contributions from anyone with something they would like to share with our audience. In addition to our contributors, the most important people are those who put The Villager through your doors. I should like to thank Alan Ormrod, who started The Villager 16 years ago and who, together with his wife Eileen, has delivered the Villager in Murton ever since. Alan has retired from this role and my thanks go to Kathy Stokes who has agreed to take over the deliveries. Similarly, following Gabriel Reid’s move to Appleby, the Hilton deliveries will now be made by Judy Riley. My thanks to Pete Emsley (Brackenber), Frank & Jules Price (Appleby) & my wife Anne (At Last to Flakeridge) who complete the delivery team. You may recall earlier articles on the subject of Broadband. I can report a successful installation of 4G, which transforms the service, with speeds in excess of 25mb. The installation costs are not cheap, at around £1,000 but we were able to split the costs with our semidetached neighbour. Further sharing is not practical as the cable from the dish to the modem should not exceed 5 metres. If you currently are unable to access broadband with a speed of 2Mb you may qualify for a subsidy. Details at www.connectingcumbria.org.uk/BDUK-Better-Broadband.asp I thought it might help readers to know the last dates for contributions to future issues of The Villager.
