MY husband, a keen cyclist, avidly reads the Cycling Weekly magazine to find the latest gear he can add to his already large.collection of cycles, wheels, cycling shoes and clothes. The- magazine alM gives tips on how to train and what to eat to maximise the power in a cyclist’s legs. In the magazine’s “Wonder foods’’ column, it


has recently advocated tha t strawberries, avoca­ dos, and peppers are really good for cyclists; Pep­ pers are packed with salicylates, the active natu­ ral ingredient found in asprin. I t also says there is good news and bad news when i t comes to


- chocolate. The bad news is that no matter what brand it will be high in fat and calories. ‘ - However, the good news is that it is particular­ ly high in the mineral magnesium so not only will


. it lower blood pressure, but for athletes, magne­ sium is crucial for normal muscle contraction. The calcium will also benefit your bones. The darker the chocolate the better, as you will

SPAIN, the third largest wine producing country in the world, has more area under vine than any other European country. The reason it is only third is that the yields


are lower, in general, which means better quality wine and not necessarily a higher price, writes MIKE MURDOCH With a huge blind tasting of 700 Spanish


wines recently the wine trade has found some hidden gems from this exciting country. The Verdejo grape has been waiting for a


make-over to transform this once oxidised and dull wine into a refreshing racy, zippy white. From the house of Gonzalez Byass (of Tio Pepe fame) comes ALTOZANO 2004 a


100% Verdejo wine from the area of Castilla, using modern winemaking techniques and viticulture methods. I t is transforming this variety to give a good weight and mouth feel with gooseberry, pear and pink grapefruit aromas reminiscent of a Sauvignon Blanc, but with less aggressive acidity and a refresh­ ing finish. It is available from Somerfield for £4.49 - try it \wth asparagus tips in melted butter. With summer aroimd the comer and hard


plains of La Mancha, where the climate is hot and there is plenty of sunshine to ripen the grapes and give a highish degree of alcohol. The Tempranillo grape is one of the major grapes in Rioja, here as a rose it displays the essence of the grape’s character. A deeply coloured rose with piudty of fruit - raspberry and strawberry - flavours just bounce out of the glass with bags of character weight and length, and it’s a great price. Try as an aperitif or with some Serrano ham and chorizo. Next on the list is a new wave Rioja -


on the heals of last year’s top tipple - rose - this one from Spain is sure to be a knockout. Tesco stocks LE PRADO TEMPRANILLO 2004 for £3.99. This comes from the central


MARQUES de la CONCORDIA SIGNA RESERVA 2001. I t is made from the same Tempranillo grapes as the rose, but this is from an exceptional vintage. Treated to 24 months in new French and American Oak, the American oak adds a slight sweetness to the fruit and an underlying spiciness and vanilla overtones. Priced a t £9.99 from Thresher and Wine Rack, it is pricier than the others, but well-worth the extra. Very per- fiuned nose of ripe fruit and vanilla, leading into a well-rounded palate of ripe, dark berried fruit and a very long finish. Tiy with slow roasted lamb knuckles with rosemary and garlic, set on puy lentils. For a dessert, get the best quality Madagascan vanilla ice cream and pour over some Pedro Ximenez. 1 had in mind one that was awarded Best For­ tified Sweet Wine in the “Challenge”, avail­ able at Waitrose for £6.49 a % litre. GRAN BARQUERO Pedro Ximenez has a rich, con­ centrated, but savoury taste, full of raisins and hints of dark chocolate. These grapes are partly sun dried to enhance the raisined effect’

Retired head relives her moment in history


by Faiza Afzaal


AN ex-headmis tress a t Thor- neyholme P rim ary School has been re-living the moment she met the Queen 16 years ago. Mrs Pamela Pardon (66), who


worked as headmistress a t the school in Dunsop Bridge for seven years, recalls the time Her Majesty last visited the area in 1989. For Mrs Pardon it was an extra special event as she had only taken over at the school that year. During the high-profile visit,


Mrs Pardon had the job of intro­ ducing the very special visitor to


Icing on a very enjoyable few days


FOLLOWING the v ery successful Easter Hodder Way Walk, 17 ramblers joined the Tuesday walk to Crag- stones. Led by Norman Thorpe, they start­


ed from Newton in light drizzle and w ith low cloud covering the hills. Crossing the Hodder, the group turned left and climbed through the fields to Meanley. The way was made very^ pleasant, in spite of the drizzle,’by the banks of primroses and the sight and sound of new lambs. From Meanley the track was taken up to Smelfthwaites, and then up a


very boggy, rushy hillside, to reach the open moor below Sadler Hill. Over the in tak e wall, the p a r ty


stopped for a brief rest and refresh­ ment, and to admire the view which was gradually revealed as the mist and drizzle gave way to patches of blue sky. The walk then continued on the


newly-opened access land over Stan- dridge Hill and down to Smelt Mill Clough. From there the farm track was fol­


lowed to Stone Fold, then rough moor­ land to Crag Stones.


The sun had now taken over the day. As the walkers enjoyed a packed


lunch, the Yorkshire Peaks provided a distant background to a glorious view of the Hodder "Valley, where ihost of the party had enjoyed the three previ­ ous days walking from Cross of Greet to Hodder Foot. Happy memoriesl The way after the lunch stop was


down to the track near Ashnott ’Wood, then by Gibbs and across the fields to the bridge a t Newton. This day's vvalk had put the icing on


the enjoyable cake which had been savoured on the previous three days.

all the excited flag-waving pupils who had lined the grounds of the school to catch a glimpse of the Queen. “She passed comment on what


lovely children there were at the school; she received flowers from every one of them,” she said. Mrs Pardon, who now lives in


Silverdale, added how weeks of preparation preceded the royal visit with children designing a spe­ cial banner to welcome the Queen. She added: “The pupils spent


weeks designing the banner with the words ‘Welcome Queen Eliza­ beth’ made out of red, white and blue tissue fabric flowers.


“I can still remember the Queen


and Prince Philip were impressed with the children’s display. Later, each child was presented with a china mug to commemorate the special day. “The whole school turned out to


see Her Majesty. They lined up round the grounds, waving flags and cheering,” she remembered. “I t was a wonderful s ta r t to my teaching career in Dunsop Bridge.” At the time the Queen also visit­


ed several of her tenants’ farms in Whitewell and Dunsop Bridge in 1989 to mark the 50th anniversary of the purchase of the estate from the Towneley family in Burnley.


HM was amused, but Alan wasn’t! A FACE from our archive photo­ graphs of the Queen’s visit to Clitheroe 16 years ago has been


Majesty - unlike her royal ances­ tor - appears to be most amused! Now we can reveal th a t little lad


identified, and what a glum face it was! Cne of the old photographs in


last week’s edition showed crowds gathered to greet the Queen on her visit to the Valley. Most looked on in excitement


and awe as the Queen approached, but one little boy leaned on the fence looking decidely disinterest­ ed and unimpressed. Not even looking a t the Royal


visitor, his Union flag drooped at half-mast in his little hand. Spotting the little lad, Her


is Alan Goar, currently coming to the end of his first season as a striker with Clitheroe EC’s first team. Prior to that he was a prolif­ ic scorer for Hurst Green and when not playing football he works as an electrician. Young Alan, aged about four at


the time, was pictured with his parents, Frank and Ruth, and lit­ tle brother Richard, then just a babe in his father’s arms. Her Majesty the Queen is due to


visit the Valley again next month, on May 25th.
