starting to see clearly

John Flynn Opticians

As we age, our sight tends to become less clear, and some of us will develop what is known as 'Dry Age-related Macular Degeneration'. When this happens, the central area of our vision darkens and becomes blurred, making it difficult to see detail, and preventing activities such as driving, reading, watching TV, using computers, tablets, and so on. Even recognising faces can prove difficult.

head in the game

The Infinite Game...

There is likely something deeply wrong with the way you approach fitness and health in your life. I’m not talking about the style of training you do or the particular diet you follow. I'm talking about the way you approach wellbeing as a finite game when it is actually an infinite game.

Balborough Ramble

The ancient and historical village of Barlborough rests on the edge of three counties, Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, and Lincolnshire. Its history is colourful and rich and was occupied by early settlers who also formed small communities in neighbouring Whitwell, Clowne, and Creswell. It was documented as Barleburh in 1002, Barleburg in the Domesday book of 1086, and has seen many variations throughout the ages before becoming known as Barlborough.

Nottingham Wouldn’t Be Nottingham Without... The Sheriff

Nottingham has had a Sheriff for at least a thousand years. Other cities across the UK also have Sheriffs but none as famous as the one whose enemy was Robin Hood, and who legendary status remains as preserved and revered as that of the outlaw himself. Afterall, you think of Robin, his merry men and Marion, and of course you also see the formidable Sheriff.

A Swift Trip To Sherwood

Camping is one of the true joys of the great outdoors for some. It's all happy families, plenty of fresh air, outdoor cooking and hopefully facilities onsite for a quick freshen-up if needed. However, I must admit that when it comes to camping, I am very firmly one of those people that really doesn’t appreciate the great outdoors, or the wonderful sense of humour held by the British weather.

Made's Favourite... 'House plants!

If you’re looking for a boost to your indoor décor this autumn, as the leaves turn golden brown and fall from the trees outdoors, why not invest in a little extra greenery indoors!

cheers to that!

We Recommend... Mr & Mrs Fine Wine

With Autumn upon us we’re starting to think about enjoying some more hearty dishes. If you’re rustling up a warming, tasty soup with sweet potato and butternut squash there could be nothing better than a full-bodied Pinot Gris to sip alongside!
