A BOOK entitled “Beauty from the kitchen” written by Chipping farmer’s wife Valerie Hud dleston, of Birchen Lee Farm, is due to be published this month (November).
The book describes beauty care using every day products su ch as salad cream, yoghurt and lemons.
Valerie, who is a trained beautician, became fascinated
- with this aspect of beauty while taking a two-year course in London.
At her home at Birchen Lee Farm she practised on friends and later gave talks to local organisations on the subject.
Now — 10 years later — she is in great demand as an after- dinner speaker, travelling the length and breadth of the country, giving up to three talks a week.
Valerie believes the book is unique in the field of skin care.
Valerie is pictured de
from Mr Donald Hartley, of Pimlico Road, Clitheroe, who has been organist and choirmaster
monstrating her skills on neighbour Mrs Christine Stott.

It often migrates by night and keeps in contact with its fellows by a thin high-pitche.d call.

They remain in this area throughout the winter unless the weather is very severe, where as the redwings often seem to move further west whatever the conditions. At the present time both, species are likely to
be found together, feeding on hawthorn berries and other fruits. Later on they will feed on more animal matter from the soil, provided that it does not become frozen. During freezing condi tions they may be attracted into gardens, par ticularly if you have any rotten apples.
