Girls’, one question underpins much of my thinking: what do girls need from education now? As we approach our 150th anniversary in 2028, our founding purpose feels strikingly relevant. The barriers facing girls may have changed since 1878, but they have not disappeared. Today they are more likely to be encountered through algorithms, online

From Sri Lanka to SHEFFIELD
Siblings Samantha and Sampath Erabadda are bringing a unique coffee experience ri Lanka is one of the world’s foremost tea growers but did you know that, prior to 1869, it was also renowned for its coffee too? Dutch colonisers had experimented with growing coffee on the island nation in the 18th plantations were successfully established under British Colonial rule by George Bird in 1824. By the 1860s, Sri Lanka had become one of the largest coffee-producing countries in the world. But then disaster struck. A fungal disease, known as ‘coffee rust’, decimated plantations but now, over 150 years later, Sri Lankan coffee is making a comeback – and is being brought to the UK Badda Bean Coffee is a family affair, set up by siblings Samantha and Sampath
S
Erabadda as well as Samantha’s husband, Samual. After years of research and building relationships, the trio now import single-origin Sri Lankan beans in their raw state where they are then roasted and packaged in Manchester. This is very much a passion project for the trio, who all pursue full-time careers. “This is where my heart lies if I’m being honest,” says Samantha. “We all enjoy our day jobs but the level of satisfaction we get it’s linked to our heritage.” Samantha and Sampath have an amazing connection with Sri Lanka and would regularly spend their summers there growing up. “I’ve got loads of memories, running through the jungle, I’m like Mowgli from the sticks in a way,” laughs Samantha. “It’s
a really dense climate, really tropical and is really stunning.” It was the siblings’ father, Eric, who provided the inspiration for their coffee business. “He was drying some green beans on peanuts,” recalls Samantha. “But they were from the coffee tree. My dad is really decided, a few years later, to bring some of these beans back and get them tested.”

FEATURE This journey took them to a local speciality roasters who did just that and was suitably impressed with the quality of the beans. So much so, the trio decided to explore the idea of importing coffee beans further. Eric’s singular tree wouldn’t provide enough for a regular supply so, over almost six years, Samantha and Sampath explored the area further and met a gentleman called Tharanga who was head of a cooperative and worked with lots of local farms. “He’s won awards in Sri Lanka for his coffee and knows the climate, the environment, how to look after the beans also making sure there’s no shortcuts,” explains Samantha. “We just aligned quite nicely.” arrived in the UK, the trio had a sample examined twice by Q graders, then by Blossom Coffee Roasters in Manchester, who specialise in highquality coffees, are carbon neutral and only work with one company in each region. The owner, Josh, is also half Sri Lankan, so perhaps it was fate that they worked together! Coffee is scored between 0 and 100 and anything over 80 is classed as a speciality coffee, this means coffee processed to high quality and often done by hand. Speciality coffee is pure and barely has any defects and there is “Ours was scoring in the high 80s,” explains Samantha. “When we were getting these consistent scores, we knew we were onto something really good.” launched at the end of 2025 with two varieties both based on arabica beans processed at source. Each variety takes the country; Araliya is an emblem of cultural importance in Sri Lanka whilst Nelum symbol of purity and enlightenment in its culture. “I really wanted to go down the animal route, probably because we had a pet monkey called Rani, but the well,” says Samantha. Araliya is a honey-processed coffee which has a citrussy, fruity taste, whilst Nelum is a wet-processed coffee with a “We went with these processes purely because we felt those particular

‘Tis Autumn
I know we’re barely through summer but autumn is just around the corner. So why not write a metaphorical love letter to the cosiest season of them all? This trend leans into everything we adore about the colder months - rich, earthy colour palettes (think burnt orange, ochre, olive and deep brown), tactile materials like boucle and wool, and accents that feel warm and grounding. It’s all about embracing slow, seasonal styling that brings comfort, nostalgia and a hint of countryside charm into the home.

THE JOY OF SHEFF
Image courtesy Sam McGill
The Snuts release their forthcoming fourth album, Joy In Short Moments, on 23 October ahead of heading out on November. Speaking about the album, frontman Jack Cochrane says: “After three records of constant motion, I felt pulled back towards real life. Success, failure, parenthood and loss all found their way into these songs. Joy In Short Moments is the sound of reconnecting with what matters navigating the questions: Who am I? Where should I be? Where am I going? What makes it all worthwhile?”

ucked away on Abbeydale Road, The Shop is more than just a gallery. Founded by Nick Grindrod, it has become a vibrant and creative space where artists can exhibit their work and connect with others, whilst sharing their passion with the wider community. Nick’s passion for art has shaped his career, with inspiration often found in everyday moments and wider global events. For him, the opening of The Shop many art galleries, there were none, prior to The Shop, on Abbeydale Road. Nick saw this as the perfect opportunity to bring art to the heart of the community. He said: “I’m really happy to bring something new to the local area, and keep supporting artists, both local, national and international.” Over the past ten years, Nick has worked alongside several galleries that have showcased his work. These experiences have given him a better understanding of the skills needed to run an art gallery. Not only has Nick exhibited his work within the UK but has also been fortunate enough to have solo shows in New York, Switzerland, and Singapore. His art has also been displayed in a number of international art fairs such as Art Miami, Art Taipei, Art Koening, and the New York Affordable Art Fair. According to Nick: “Every show and opportunity is a chance to make new connections, learn more about working collaboratively, and has given me the

But they can really come into their own in the summer months too. Take Hathersage’s Scotsman’s Pack for example.

On the day of our visit there were plenty taking advantage of the extended good weather, including families, friends and cyclists, all enjoying a cold drink or something to eat. Despite the temptation to dine alfresco, we opted to sit inside, which was nice and cool but retained that cosiness that you’d expect from a country inn.

Three decades of DELICIOUSNESS
t’s been quite the year for Nonnas. The Ecclesall Road institution celebrated its 30th anniversary earlier this summer and shows no signs of slowing down. The secret to its success has been the combination of atmosphere, personality and a warm, welcoming team. And, of course, the food. “When we opened Nonnas back in 1996, we simply wanted to create something that felt special - somewhere that brought a but also had its own identity,” said owner Maurizio Mori. “I don’t think any of us could have imagined just how much it would become part of people’s lives. Many of our customers have become friends, and that’s something I’m incredibly proud of.” The menu is something that is constantly evolving – seasonality plays a huge part although there are certain dishes that remain no matter the time of year. The lasagne della Nonna and tagliatelle salsiccia for example. A late summer’s evening requires summery dishes and we were spoilt with

Bruschette (from £9) is always a good place to start and we sampled small portions of the four varieties on offer: Classica – made with tomato, basil, garlic and olive oil; Ricotta – topped with ricotta, Alla salsiccia – Italian sausage, taleggio, eggs, parmesan, parsley; and Al salmone – made with smoked salmon, marscapone and salsa verde. From the sweet to the savoury, all were delicious in their own right and set the tone for a fantastic evening. Gamberoni picante (£13.95) is another stand-out dish at Nonnas and we loved the combination of juicy king prawns, cherry tomatoes and garlic and chilli, which had plenty of kick. We’d not thought about an intermediate course but a taster plate of risotto gamberoni and zucchini (£22) was both Fish always seems to sit well in the summer months and the Lombata di merluzzo (£32) didn’t disappoint.

Leon celebrates his hole in one

Standing on the third tee, he struck a beautiful 9-iron that *)('&%$#"! &% # ) %$#")! $ #" %# # '$# disappeared into the hole. Pandemonium followed, everyone in our group was screaming, hugging and celebrating wildly. I have been playing golf for more than 30 years and have never had a hole in one. Somehow, my 12-year-old son has beaten me to it. As the saying goes, “The only man who truly wants you to surpass him is your father” and while I wholeheartedly agree with that sentiment, I admit I am saying it through slightly gritted teeth.

Heart of the VILLAGE
Chris Wilson visits a country pub enjoying a new lease of life. 17th century pub in one of the Peak District’s most picturesque settings looked like it might be lost to history when last orders was called during the 2020 pandemic. But after a four-year hiatus, during which new owners invested £1.6million in a splendid refurbishment, the Ashford Arms in Ashford in the Water is at the heart of village life once more. For me, Ashford in the Water is either the starting point or the midway mark for many a weekend walk, taking in the very best of the Derbyshire countryside. And having worked up an appetite with fabulous views from Monsal Head, Sheldon and Little Longstone, this buzzing and friendly country inn with a touch of class is the ideal venue to satisfy a healthy appetite. My latest visit came on one of the many gorgeous midsummer evenings we have been treated to this year, and while the summer school holidays may be a traditionally quiet time for many dining establishments, this was certainly not the case here. The Ashford Ams has a variety of dining options including a large outdoor area, a light and airy conservatory and a series of quieter rooms indoors, and all were healthily busy on this Thursday evening in late July. We chose a cosy indoor corner and settled into the tricky task of selecting from a very

well thought-out menu with a tempting selection of hearty pub classics including alongside more cheffy offerings. summer starter the pan-fried scallops, nicely caramelised and perfectly tender, compressed cucumber, lime zest, pink peppercorns and pickled blackberries (£13.50) ticked every box. Something more robust was offered in the shape of a delicious Korean-spiced scotch egg, crisp on the outside with a slightly runny yoke, served with kimchi ketchup and Asian slaw with sesame (£11.50). For mains a rich and warming chickpea and bean tagine, served with quinoa and a pomegranate salad, was offered with a the rump of lamb (£25.95) which came as rare as you dare, closer to blood red than blushing pink... perfect for unreconstructed carnivores like me but do speak up if you prefer your meat to be cooked a little longer. by the chorizo gambas in bouillabaisse sauce, served with skinny fries and toasted sourdough. Those prawns were big and juicy, the sauce heavy with spicy notes of the sea. The sourdough and fries were essential to mop up every tasty drop of sauce.
The wine list, incidentally, has been curated with the greatest of care and small glasses of Ontanon’s Rippa Dorii (£9.55) from owner Rob Hattersley’s recommendations list and Adobe pinot noir (£7.95) matched the starters and mains nicely. For my abstemious dining partner, the non-alcoholic Mountain aperitif (£9) served with tonic brought refreshing bittersweet echoes of strawberry, cherry blossom and rosehip. Desserts were simply delightful. Basil and white chocolate panna cotta (£9.95) had the perfect wobble, served with summer berry coulis and white chocolate and raspberry ice-cream, while the most indulgently rich and chewy chocolate brownie (£9.95) swimming in a pool of refreshingly sharp mango lassi with fresh berries and banana split ice-cream, would satisfy, whatever the season. The Ashford Arms is a delightful country pub, ideal for relaxed summer dining. And when autumn kicks in, it will still be the perfect place to escape for an hour or two.

Losehill House Hotel & Spa
Lumiox
The Maynard
The Old Boot
Losehill House stands as one of the Peak District’s most cherished independent hotels, quietly perched on the hillside, with sweeping views across the Hope Valley. It blends 22 individually designed bedrooms and suites with an award-winning restaurant focused on local, sustainable produce, and the Thalgo Spa complete with pool, sauna, steam room and outdoor hot tub - making it a standout luxury retreat in the National Park. Family-owned and run by the Roden family for over 18 years, the hotel is shaped by heartfelt hospitality and deep local knowledge. Its origins trace back to 1914 when it was built in the Arts & Crafts style for walkers and guests in the Hope Valley - a legacy it continues today with modern comfort and timeless charm. +*))('&%$$(#"&"&!( ( ( ) )) ( ( ( (

As afternoon fades, the terrace settles into a quieter mood, ideal for watching the light drop behind the hills. With comfortable rooms upstairs, the visit needn’t end when the bill arrives. Stay the night and wake up to the same view that made you want to linger. The Maynard remains one of the best places in the Peak District to eat well outdoors, whatever the season. ( * * ( ( ( (

Pomegranate brings a rich, fruit-stained red into focus, offering a deeper and more romantic alternative to brighter cherry tones. Sitting somewhere between berry, burgundy and raspberry, the palette feels bold, adding warmth, drama and softness across interiors and decorative details.

Don’t overlook your EYE HEALTH Find out why patients keep coming back to Martin Johnson Opticians.
egular eye examinations do far more than just update your glasses prescription; they serve as a critical preventive health check that can detect vision-threatening diseases and systemic health conditions long before symptoms appear. Martin Johnson Opticians has been serving the people of Hillsborough and beyond for 40 years and remains one of the only true independent opticians in the city. Martin started the business in 1986 after previously training and working in Birmingham and London before relocating )('&%$#%"! % $!# !%! % # % $ % away from clinical practice, he retains part-ownership of the business alongside optometrist Louise Gordon and dispensing optician and practice manager Paula Hobson. Together, the trio, alongside their many long-serving staff, have driven the practice forward. Occupying a prominent position on Middlewood Road just opposite the entrance to Hillsborough Precinct, it offers everything you would expect from a local optician – eye exams, spectacles and contact lenses – but much more besides.

NuLids addresses these issues at the source, helping restore healthier tear function and improve longterm eye comfort. “Even if you think there is nothing wrong with your vision, an eye examination should be a vital part of your health routine,” concludes Louise. “Whether you are worried about a problem or just feel that you would like a check-up, Martin Johnson Opticians can offer you the individual service that you want, tailored to match your needs.” Martin Johnson Opticians 13 Middlewood Road Tel: 0114 233 2600 Email: info@martinjohnsonopticians.co.uk martinjohnsonopticians.co.uk
