DISH OF THE WEEK w ith m c u m o r r is SALMON,
CORIANDER AND
CHILLI FISH CAKES with Henry P. Lynch of the Duke’s Head Hotel, ! Armathwaite, Carlisle
MY husband, Vic, and I enjoyed a wonderful day at the races in Hexham, near Newcastle-upon-- Tyne, a week or two
ago. Unfortunately I only
had one winner and as it was the favourite, I did not make a fortune. However, because Hex ham is quite a long way
. from Clitheroe we decided to go the night before and stay near Carlisle. We chose a pub from:
“The Which Pub Guide 2004” called the Duke’s Head Hotel, Armathwaite, run by Henry Lynch and his wife, Helen. The reason I am writing
about this is that my hus band knew the licensee’s father, Peter Lynch, years ago. It transpired that Peter
was the landlord a t the New Drop Inn, Ribch- ester, for many years and Vic had taken him on a trip to Cognac, in France, and Henry remembered how enthusiastic about the trip his father was when he returned home. The Duke’s Head is , described as an unpreten
tious pub on the main road through the village which is' in the beautiful Eden Valley, a paradise for bird watchers and walkers. ■ In the bar area, with its
open log fire, giving i t a warm and cosy atmo sphere, we enjoyed a drink while deciding what to choose from the menu. The specials board bad
lots of lovely choices as did the a la carte menu, from fresh fish to venison and pheasant casseroled in red wine. Vic chose the, salmon, coriander and chilli fish cakes and I had fingers of cod in a beer bat ter. ' ■ Both starters were deli
cious, although they were rather large portions. For the main course Vic had a sirloin steak with a creamy, mushroom sauce and I chose the breaded pork escalope with a smoked Cumbrian cheese
’ topping and apple puree. We just about managed
to eat nearly everything, b u t neither of us could manage a sweet. I think Henry probably caters for walkers with hearty appetites more than ours, as the full breakfast next morning was also enor mous. Perhaps some people in
the Kibble .Valley may remember the Lynch fami ly from the New Drop?

The wine is very fruity and smooth mth del icate flavours on the palate and it is very easy drinking with only light tannins. Perhaps not as in vogue as it used to be, but I am told on good authority that it is making a come-back (I think it was a Beaujolais producer). So if you are getting

A stunning combination of both opera and dance
“ORFEO ED EURIDICE”: The Lowry, Salford Quays
THIS production of Gluck’s ‘ Orfeo ed Euridice” is a collaboration between Opera North and Emio Greco and Pieter C. Scholten, premiered at the Edinburgh International Festival. It is a stunning combination of opera
“. S S r e IoJ oI “ Emio'creco and a taam ot
s.ven They focus on
themes of the opera. the boundaries
between love and death, love and hate and darkness and light to complement this operatic retelling of the famed
Orpheus myth. He descends into the underworld to
reclaim his beloved Euridice, only to lose her at the last moment because he breaks the god’s commandment and
looks back at her. Orfeo is sung by the Canadian countertenor Daniel Taylor whose voice fills the auditorium and conveys his grief movingly - a memo rable performance. He is well supported by the Spanish
soprano Isabel Monar and by Lan cashire-born Claire Ormshaw as the god Amore, and who shows consider able skill in both singing and dancing. Special praise must go to the superb
lighting designs and projections of Henk Danner and Joost Rekveld. They create so many stunning differ
ent effects and moods on the stark backdrops. The chorus of Opera North move in
thought-provoking white costumes with black gloves to create a variety of spaces from this world to the under world. The opening is amazing and the whole is gripping and challenging.

My efforts to get more Britons abroad to vote
I WOULD like to thank those of you who have contacted me concerning my appoint ment as a vice-chairman of the Conservative Party. I was thrilled to be asked, particularly as the General Election is looming.
My particular responsibilities are dealing with a strategy to encourage people who have moved abroad less than 15 years ago to register to vote - and then vote when the election is announced.
the overseas voters played a significant factor'there. It does seem that their govern ment spends millions of pounds in getting U.S. vot ers to register to vote, yet we are spending virtually
It has amazed me to learn in the short time I have been in the job that there are more than three million people who are eligible to vote in this \yay. I then started to think of all the people that I know who work and live abroad and I then realised that the actual number of eligible overseas votes could well exceed tour million.

I intend to cariy out the basics ot this job in a non party political way. I have always campaigned to get young people to use the vote they have, and now I will be campaigning to get people living and working abroad to register to vote.
The Government changed the registration of voters a few years ago and now we have a rolling register. If there is to be a May election, weneed to encourage people to regis ter to vote now, and then to

Picture manipulation demonstrated
MEMBERS of Ribble Valley Camcorder Club heard Malcolm Fox demonstrate the techniques involved in creating special effects using a Corel Draw programme.
One of the methods shown was in which an image was created and saved and parts of it moved slightly before saving again. This is repeated many times until the full move ment sequence is created.
A movie is then created by running the clips in sequence, displayng the required move-

There were many vis itors to the village and Abbey, often res idential groups, there were two churches on the road, the school buildings were used out of school hours, and there was general use by residents from the housing estate at the rear ot The Sands and from Mitton Road areas and Billington.
"it was a culture
There was a suggestion in the Parish Plan that the bus lay-by should be used for parking, with all buses using the bus station. The number of buses taking chil dren to school in Clitheroe and beyond would block the whole ot the street for a considerable time, as they would then have to turn right to resume their jour neys.

A complaint was made that parking on the bus lay-by, often by people using a mobile phones or eating sandwiches, was causing difficulty for pedestrians and bus drivers, causing problems for alight ing or boarding a bus in the road.
Local residents had revealed that there had been a change of plan and this would not now take place. As it would not form a continous footpath, English Heritage would have to be involved and it would be used only at school times.
