IN THE NEWS
Were not lovin it BURGER giant McDonalds brought Tarporley town centre to a standstill last month in order to film a new advert. Filming took place over three days, with the town transformed into a New York street and the Wild West. A number of businesses agreed to change their shop fronts for the advert but a number of shop owners were unhappy that they lost trade during the shoot. Several claimed that trade ground to a halt, along with the traffic. But Tarporley Parish Council said the traffic issues were not too bad and that McDonalds was making donations to local charities. Funds for cricket club OAKMERE Cricket Club has been given 48,236 of Olympic legacy funding from Sport England. The money will be used to improve the changing rooms as well as a new baby changing space and umpires rooms. Not so APPROVAL has not yet been granted for the new homes on Nantwich Road, Tarporley, contrary to last months Tarporley Talk. The decision has actually gone to appeal. Apologies for the confusion

Students show plenty of enterprise The schools young enterprise company JusT attended the Cheshire West and Chester presentation and awards evening at the Bank of America in Chester. The students had to set up their trade stand for it to be judged, they were then interviewed by three corporate judges about their company and finally came the scary part presenting to over 150 people. Although the school did not walk away with any awards, students really feel that the whole process has been fantastic. Students will also be at the Tarporley Carnival this summer!

FIREFIGHTERS, Fire Cadets and helpers have thanked the people of Tarporley for their generosity following their recent successful charity car wash. Drivers turned out in force to support The Fire Fighters Charity while Firefighters, Fire Cadets and teams of helpers with their buckets and sponges raised money for this worthy cause as well as handing out road safety advice at Tarporley community fire station. Deputy Chief Fire Officer Mark Cashin said: It is testament to the support we have from the public when events such as this show how generous people can be as a magnificent total of over 340 was raised on the day from local residents. It costs over 9 million every year to keep The Fire Fighters Charity running, and with no government funding, it is completely reliant on donations from the general public and fire community. School confirms academy plans TARPORLEY High School is to press ahead with plans to become an academy. In a statement on the schools website, head teacher Sarah Lee confirmed that The governing body confirmed that the governing body is convinced that as an academy, the school will be best placed to fulfil this vision and to respond to future opportunities and challenges. The governors want academy status to start in the summer term.

Wine talk
with Gill nicol, from enigma Wine
When we think of Rioja it is commonly thought of as a full bodied red wine and mostly the Rioja region does produce mainly reds (roughly 85%) however its also responsible for the production of white and ros wines. For this reason a Rioja themed wine tasting evening is a great way of introducing people to the lesser known styles of wine from this traditional Spanish wine region. Whilst the most dominant red grape variety used in red Rioja is the Tempranillo grape, the ros are usually made with the lighter red grape Garnacha and the whites of this region are made mostly with the aromatic Viura grape. Ive chosen a white, ros and red to recommend this t. 01244 370 898 month to introduce some of these less common styles of Rioja. To begin with Id like e. recommend the white Luis Canas Rioja Blanco Joven 2010. to info@enigmawine.co.uk This is an unoaked blend of 90% Viura and 10% Malvasia. Traditionally white Rioja w. www.enigmawine.co.uk tended to be fermented and aged in oak barrels but increasingly the trend is towards fresher, fruitier styles of whites that show the purity of fruit of the Viura grape. This is an excellent example which has intense citrus fruit on the nose followed by ripe melon and pineapple on the palate, with excellent length. Bought from Chester Beer and Wine in hoole for 7.75. The rose Id like to recommend is the Finca Manzanos Rioja Rosado 2010 from M&S at 5.24 a bottle. This has a beautiful pale onion skin pink colour and smells of fresh strawberries and raspberries which are also found on the palate. This is a lovely fresh style of ros that is perfect for a summers evening and a great introduction to ros Rioja. Finally Id like to recommend a more youthful, lighter style of red Rioja which I found in Costco (5.89 the last time I bought it). The Vega Piedra Rioja 2009 is a semi-Crianza, which means its had a little bit of oak aging but not enough to fully qualify for Crianza status, hence the semi-Crianza!. This has soft red fruits on the nose with hints of vanilla from its ageing in oak and on the palate it is smooth, well rounded with soft tannins and hints of dried fruit and coconut. Perfect with BBQs or simply to enjoy on its own.

MAy BLOOMS
GaRdeninG By Janet HeatH
May is probably my favourite month as the trees and shrubs are clothed in fresh new foliage and there are some stunning flowers out its a month of pinks and white with blossom on the crab apple trees and hawthorns. Paeonies flower in May with sumptuous blooms in shades of pink and red. Do not plant too deeply, their new shoots should be just below the soil surface. Mulch them in winter with a layer of compost to protect them from frost. Although they are supposed to resent moving, they can be moved if you do it carefully in autumn. Shrubs such as Deutzia, exochorda x macrantha The Bride, Spirea Bridal Wreath all have pale pink or white flowers. If you want scent in the garden, Daphnes and Viburnum carlessii and burkwoodii varieties with pom poms of scented blooms will give you a waft of perfume as you pass by. Place near paths or seating areas to enjoy them as there is little point in putting them at the back of a border where the perfume will be wasted! Rhododendrons and Azaleas also flower in May. Both do better in sheltered spots in a slightly acid free draining soil which does not
dry out so avoid heavy clay and full sun. The deciduous Azaleas especially the yellow varieties have perfumed flowers so seek them out if you have the right soil and situation. harden off Fuschias, Dahlias and large leaved Cannas gradually for planting out when it is no longer frosty. Cannas and Dahlias do well in containers planted up with lower growing bedding plants like trailing lobelia and petunias. In the vegetable plot earth up the potatoes that you planted in March for an early crop in June. Sow seeds of purple sprouting broccoli, leeks, carrots, french beans and salads. Plant out your tomato plants, courgettes and pumpkins but protect with fleece netting if frosts are forecast. I sow seeds of runner beans indoors in pots so that they avoid being eaten by slugs as soon as they show their heads above the soil. Slugs cant climb more than 30cms so I plant them out when they are more than that in height!

Peckforton and Beeston WI After a short business meeting our April meeting continued with a very entertaining talk by Doug Haynes entitled The Impact of the Gentry on our historic County when we learnt that most of the landed gentry in the county descended from 8 barons who owned the land, controlled the Cheshire people and represented them in Parliament. The talk was illustrated with a 1610 map by John Speed and also slides collected by Doug over the years showing the various family trees and the different styles of properties on the various estates in our immediate area, namely those of the Tollemaches, Cholmondeleys, Wilbrahams, Grosvenors, Delves Broughtons, Crewes and the Barbours. Resolutions will be discussed at our next meeting on 2nd May, followed by a talk by David Tideswell on Garden Birds in Spring and Summer. Visitors are always made very welcome we look forward to seeing you at Peckforton Village Rooms at 7.30pm. Did you spot him? He is on the top of the Tattenhall Jubilee info on page 76
