A truly stunning Shiraz from the rich red earth
AUSTRALIA has made a suc cess story from its Shiraz, as it prefers to call the native French variety we know as Syrah. More of this later. In the quest for offering con

benchmark for excellent Aussie Shiraz is Penfolds Grange. I stopped buying Grange when it passed the £30-a-bottle mark (currently £100), next came Henschke Hill of Grace, now more than £120 a bottle, so I moved to E and F Black Pepper Shiraz which leapt

The tannins are there, but they are ripe and therefore give that silky feeling and the alcohol is 15%, but you just don’t notice it, because everything is per fectly balanced. Just don’t let Parker, the
American wine critique, get hold of this, because if he gives it 95 marks or more this wine will be in short supply or go the way the others went - too expensive for most of us. Both wines are available

A collection of top tales The Grimm Tales;
Dukes Theatre, Lancaster; July 4th to August 9th
SUMMER is here as the cast of witches, woodcutters and wicked stepmothers have arrived at the Dukes Theatre, in Lancaster, for rehearsals.
The Grimm Tales, which opens on Friday,
July 4th, and runs until August 19th in the park, were collected by the Grimm Brothers in Germany to preserve the traditional tales of the German peasants. They now form many of our best-loved sto ries such as “Cinderella” and “Hansel and
Gretel”, filled with humour and magic and passed down to children over the years. This year’s multi-talented cast is a mix of
new and more familiar faces who are delighted to be in Lancaster for such an exciting pro duction.
Nick Chee Ping Kellington who will be playing Hansel on stage said: “I am delighted
to be working at the Dukes for the very first time.” Technicians at the theatre are busy putting
up lighting rigs and preparing sets and cos tumes while the actors rehearse. For more information or to book please call the Dukes on 01254 598500.

Kate’s a cut above the rest!
A YOUNG stylist working in the Ribble Valley has won the hairdress ing “Student of the Year” award at Blackburn College. Miss Kate Procter (18) passed her
City and Guilds earlier this year, four months ahead of schedule. Both successes reflect Kate’s hard
work, commitment and achievement and she is very pleased a t her progress.
Everything she does is subject to
continuous assessment and in Sep tember she will s ta rt an advanced course.
Kate started at the Philip Michael Hair Studio in Duck Street,
Clitheroe, as a Saturday girl. She has been on the staff for two years and is now the studio’s colour technician. It is one of the few City and Guilds satellite centres in the area. “Kate can be very proud of her
progress,” says proprietor Philip Michael. “She is an excellent example of how the modern apprenticeship scheme helps keen and talented young people. Working closely on training with the college is quite a commitment but has proved worth while for the studio and for the staff.” Kate is pictured with her Student
of the Year award.' (C200603/5)

Farmer’s wife who had many talents
ONE of the last surviving personali ties old enough to look back to Dales farming of the 1920s has died. Mrs Annie Holden, who was in her
90th year, was a skilful worker in sev eral crafts, apart from being a classi cally traditional farmer’s wife. She was the middle one of 13 chil

She arranged flowers a t various places such as St Paul’s Church, Low Moor, made wedding cakes and won garden ing prizes at various shows. Mrs Holden’s skills also included
leatherwork, rugmaking and embroi dery.
She was born at Wickens Farm,
