SO impressed was eight-year-old India Bate with the work done through the BBC television “Children in Need” appeal that she has written a book, which she is now selling for the fund. India began by selling copies of “Secret
Friends” to members of her family, but the book is now available at Whalley Primary School, where India is a pupil. It comprises eight stories about a little girl named Kelsey and her King Charles spaniel, Rio. “I love writing,” said India, “but this is
the first time I have published a book.” This was done by her parents, Anthony
and Nicky, who are extremely proud of their daughter. Headteacher at Whalley Primary
School, Brian Beresford, also said he was very impressed with India’s work. “The book will make an ideal present,”
he said. Under a photo on the last page of the
book, India writes that she lives in Whal ley with her parents and two brothers, loves reading and writing and her favourite colours are pink and blue. Sbe also enjoys holidays in Lanzarote. Our picture shows India with her fund raising book, “Secret Friends”, (s)

Sir’ is the guest on ‘This is your Life’
by Jean Miller
ON his last day before retir ing as a full-time teacher at Whalley Primary School, Derek Pickup was looking forward to the annual Christ mas dinner with colleagues. However, he was suprised to
be ushered out of his home in Great Harwood by his wife, Helena, to be back at the school j ust over an hour later. When he entered the school to
see a large number of colleagues, parents, children and friends he realised “something was up”. Derek, pictured, began his
long career at Whalley school on September 2nd, 1971 when the headteacher was Mr John Shaw. “He was excellent and I
learned a great deal from him,” said Derek.
“He often used to come into
the classroom, take the chalk from my hand and carry on teaching the class. I was non-

plussed for quite a while, but gradually I realised he was also teaching me. I am very grateful to him.” Holding up a large red book
with a pictue of Derek on the front, current headteacher Mr Brian Beresford announced “Derek Pickup - this is your life”. There followed many inci
dents related by former col leagues and pupils, who came on
in the fashion of the original tel evision programme. Some were unable to be present, but sent messages or joined the “pro gramme” via the screen. Not showing a trace of nerves,
Derek was able to relate inci dents of his own, many of them involving the school maypole and inveigling pupils to dance round it - or else! “I have always told pupils
never to becomer teachers, but fortunately some of them took no notice and several have taken up the profession, including two brothers,” he commented. Apart from teaching, he has
been involved with coaching football and musical produc tions at the school. He intends carrying on with
the coaching of sport and hopes to do some supply teaching Derek was delighted to

ward thinking designs which frequently incorporate a modern planting scheme and extensive use of grasses. Creating show gardens for the past six years, Paul has been awarded many RHS medals at both the RHS Tatton .Park and Hamp ton Court shows, including Best in Show, but has never taken his work to Chelsea. After obtaining full membership of the prestigious Society of Garden Designers, early in 2007, clients from all over have sought out Paul’s work and a presence at Chelsea this year will offer a perfect showcase for Elysium Design to promote their skills and style to both national and international clients. Paul has selected the sandstone from
^ y b y Waddington Fell quarry for the project. He described it as “a beautiful product, and unlike imported stone, it will endure and is perfect for giving the garden at Chelsea exactly the right feel ing.” The garden will be designed as an inner
city retreat, bringing a sense of calm and escape. Such spaces are usually very smali and challenging. The small garden category at Chelsea was created to high light the potential of these spaces and inspire garden owmers to do something no matter what size space they might have. “We have designed landscapes and gar dens from more than 30 acres to 10ft. by
10ft. Smaller spaces are harder, you are never more than a few feet away from anything and so if it’s not quite right, it doesn’t just shout, it screams! So detail ing and a sense of proportion and scale are vital. We believe that all spaces should be practical and realistic. This garden is not just for the spectacle of Chelsea, it is designed to reflect a real sit uation.” Elysium has already had initial
inquires about the garden, launched last week at the RHS headquarters in Lon don. “The garden is 5m x 5m, a typical back
garden in inner London and coinciden tally quite similar in size to many terrace yards in this part of Lancashire,” Paul explained. Supporting Paul with the garden
design are Wendy Lawrence and her partner, David Binns. Wendy, a ceramic sculptor, also from Clitheroe, frequently exhibits in the USA and Europe and has been featured several times at the Plat form Gallery, along with David, senior lecturer in Design and Ceramics Research at the University of Central Lancashire. Both are creating original and unique work that will feature in the garden. “In a real city garden there would be a
huge requirement to screen out noise, as well as creating a private sanctuary. It is a problem encountered in any urban gar den.
“What we have done is to create addi
tional height within the garden by dig ging down and then designed different types of boundaries to create visually interesting solutions to these problems as well as introducing water to add its own gentle noise and focus. Steel, timber, stone and sculptured ceramic all come together in the garden reflecting the urban setting without compromising its requirement as a place of rest and relax ation.” “While the grasses will form a strong
presence within the garden additional height will come from the beautifully perpendicular, pink paper bark birch betula albosinensis
Fa.scination - and the whole scheme will be further enhanced by clusters of perennials,” added Paul.
