Emergency responders had been directed to a two-car collision on Abbey Road in Sandbach. When they saw that the injuries sustained by the victims were clearly not caused by a crash, the paramedics soon realised it was far from a standard traffic accident. Not long after the incident, on that cold January morning, a man approached an officer from the Cheshire Police. He made a startling confession as he gestured towards the road. The man said, “I shot them up there”...*** LISTENER CAUTION IS ADVISED *** This episode was researched and written by Eileen Macfarlane.Edited by Joel Porter at Dot Dot Dot Productions.Script editing, additional writing, illustrations and production direction by Rosanna FittonNarration, additional audio editing, script editing, and production direction by Benjamin Fitton.To get early ad-free access, including Season 1, sign up for They Walk Among PLUS, available from Patreon or Apple Podcasts.More information and episode references can be found on our website https://theywalkamonguspodcast.comMUSIC: Rag Doll by Wicked Cinema Handmaids Escape by CJ Oliver The Last Straw by CJ Oliver Race Against Time by Moments Things Gone Wrong by Moments Onward by Chelsea McGough Stasis Interrupted by Dresden the Flamingo Templar by Wicked Cinema SOCIAL MEDIA: https://linktr.ee/TheyWalkAmongUsSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/theywalkamongus.

In this episode, we speak to author John Sandbach illuminates the Tarot is a portal to realms of wisdom. It not only can provide deep insight through traditional readings but also offers a hands-on way to learn multiple spiritual practices and metaphysical systems, each interrelated through numbers and the ways the systems are worked with to reveal cosmic truths. Sandbach explores the deep interconnected meanings of each of the 78 cards of the Tarot and explains how to work with the cards for spiritual healing and growth as well as to synergistically learn other methods of spiritual insight, in particular numerology and astrology. Connecting the traditional, symbolic, psychological, alchemical, astrological, and numerological meanings of each card to its deepest meaning, the one closest to its spiritual core, he shows how exploring the interconnected meanings of the cards allows you to understand the Tarot as an integrated whole and enables you to provide insightful and deeply intuitive readings. He explains how every card is connected to the Tree of Life, an ancient Kabbalistic diagram of the universe, and details how to use the Tarot to calculate the numerological value of names, words, and dates, including birthdays, to reveal their metaphysical significance. He explores the connections between alternative rulerships for the cards and how they allow you to understand astrology at a deeper level. He also demonstrates several types of card layouts that can be used to perform readings for yourself or others, and he provides instructions for Tarot Contemplations to access deeper meanings of the cards. By journeying through the nexus of wisdom connections within each card, you not only are simultaneously learning the ancient wisdom of numerology and astrology, but also opening access to your own inner wisdom.

The dust is settling on the 2023 British Open Championship, and the cheers and songs from the delighted members of Foden's Band have just about faded away. The band, already the reigning National and North West Regional champion, claimed its first British Open title since 2012, on Thierry Deleruyelle's Sand and Stars. It was also a first for conductor Russell Gray, as he claimed his first Open win with the baton. You could say it was written in the stars – and it all made for a fabulous time for the renowned Sandbach band…

Welcome to the Busi-ness Podcast!Today, I chatted with Will Sandbach and Abbie Roden, co-founders of D2C wine brand, Amie Wine. Amie was born in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, the brainchild of Abbie, a marketer and photographer, and Will, who'd recently left his previous job as a director in the wine business. Launching the business in the June of the first lockdown, the pair seized the moment, tapping into the rosé market with a cool and more affordable direct-to-consumer brand that delivered straight to their customer's doors. The lockdown project took off, thanks to wild support across social media.We spoke about the influence of social media on their brand and the advantages and disadvantages of growing a business and community on Instagram. We also discussed penetrating a very traditional industry and overcoming snobbery in the wine industry. I hope you've got a glass of wine and you enjoy listening to this episode. Hosted on Acast.

In this show, I finally get to have a chat with the man behind the Chandra Symbols. If you are a reader of my writings, you will be familiar with my liberal usage of these symbols.

John tells the whole story of how they came about, and how the other symbol systems he uses did as well.

British Bandsman editor Mark Good hears from band manager and long-serving principal cornet player of Foden's Band, Mark Wilkinson, following the news that the Sandbach organisation is to receive another financial boost, this time from the Heritage Lottery Fund. Cornetist Mark discusses how the band plans to make use of the funding and looks ahead to the Whit Friday Online Brass Band Championship, which Foden's is busy organising. He also reflects on his own musical career, which saw him start playing cornet in a tin hut and rise to enjoy nearly three decades - and counting - in the top chair at Foden's. Mark also discusses how he nearly ended up joining one of Foden's close rivals! But first, what does he make of the past 14 months?
In this episode I visit a place with a long and numerous history of Ghosts. The Old Hall in Sandbach is listed as one of the most haunted places in Britain and is right on Yvette Fielding's doorstep... not just her's, it's also on mine. Opposite St. John's Church (where my Aunty and Uncle were married) it is a popular hotel (in which my In-Laws celebrated their wedding day) that does not shy away from it's history of hauntings. There are no less than 3 tunnels between the church and the old hall - the most famous of those being the Priest hole that the Priests used to escape attacks during the Civil War period. There are no less than 14 hauntings reported in this building and I take a look at the most plausible and a couple that aren't so plausible. If you are unfamiliar with the place you can find a brief overview here : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Hall_Hotel,_Sandbach - this site details the most famous hauntings (from the TV show Most Haunted) https://www.tributemosthaunted.co.uk/most-haunted-episodes/most-haunted-season-5/old-hall-hotel-sandbach/ and here is the site that has the interview with the member of staff https://www.cheshire-live.co.uk/news/chester-cheshire-news/things-go-bump-night-5297991 - if you would like to contact me you can do so via the website https://tallboyradio.wordpress.com/a-history-of-hauntings/ or by emailing me HHauntingPod@hotmail.com or on twitter at https://twitter.com/HHauntingPod/ The opening music for this podcast is "Weak Knight" by Devon Church and the closing music is "BDS" by Lewis Pickford
Rob Sandbach and I met rather serendipitously at an NCT Meeting shortly before his son and my daughter were born. After realising he worked in tech (his rather modest description of what he did) I proceeded to chew his ear off and eventually found out that he ran his own agency. Fast-forward a few years and I thought it'd be a great idea to get him onto the podcast for a chat about the story of him starting, growing and running his agency. Rob's company has a long history of allowing remote work so the move to 100% remote working didn't hit Indiespring as hard as some other companies, but there has been a consequence in that it's no longer a USP. Have a listen to see how Indiespring have responded to the massive curveball thrown by COVID and 2020.Indiespring's websiteRob Sandbach on LinkedIn
John Barber joins British Bandsman editor Mark Good to reflect on 25 years as the principal trombonist of Foden's Band. John takes us back in time to his first rehearsal with the Sandbach organisation and looks back on his favourite moments with the band, from contest successes to unforgettable performances at the Royal Northern College of Music Brass Band Festival – and even a rather sticky situation for a member of his trombone section. He also discusses his wider musical life, from reluctant trombonist to the ten quid gig which led to him spending a year in Monte Carlo, performing with the stars. All that, and he picks his Piece of the Podcast. But first, how has he been faring during a year like no other?
Introducing Will, co-founder of amie, 'wine created for friends, by friends'. It started back in April 2020, with fiancée Abbie and brought to life by friends such as Hermione, Jessica & Janine.

But it doesn't stop there, Will is eyeing up a return to normality with his new Wine Tourism platform VIND, which helps you find and experience the world's best wineries.

Cheshire Voices for Equality Association (CVEA) is an organisation that has been founded by young campaigners from Black Lives Matter Sandbach. The group hit the headlines (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/aug/10/blm-organisers-in-cheshire-threatened-in-local-facebook-group) last summer when online threats towards them were made in a Facebook group administered by a local councillor. In this episode, we hear directly from Katie Unnithan, Mia Sykes, and Keelie Grindley about how their experiences of racism and white privilege throughout their education, growing up in a predominantly white rural area, have made them want to make a positive change for the coming generations. They are then joined in conversation by Helen O’Donnell, CEO of Children’s University, to discuss the role that education and learning beyond the classroom can play in anti-racism work.

This week saw a series of crunch votes in the commons on the EU withdrawal bill and the role of parliament in the exit process. The government escaped defeat—just—but only by making dramatic last minute concessions. It promised Tory Remainers that parliament will indeed play a significant role. Antoinette Sandbach was one of the MPs to receive personal assurances from the prime minister and she explains what was said. But over recent days Brexiteers have insisted no such assurance can have been made. It has put the stark split in the Tory Party on display for all to see: can the PM appease both the Remainers and the Brexiteers on this and other issues? Sandbach is joined by Prospect's Jay Elwes and Alex Dean. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Hello Crochet Circlers, Welcome to The Crochet Circle Podcast and the show notes from Episode Seventeen - Festival of Finishing. In this episode I cover: Wolf woman of Cheshire; Edinburgh Yarn Festival 2018; Old dog, new tricks; Festival of Finishing CrAL; FOs; WIPs; Feeding the habit; Big up and What's good? This podcast is sponsored by my online crafting company, Provenance Craft Co. Thanks to everyone who tunes into the podcast whether it is through Stitcher, Podbean, Spotify, iTunes or the YouTube Channel. Your support and engagement are really appreciated and makes running a podcast very special and worthwhile. If you would like to support the podcast, you can do that through Patreon: 1 - Old dog, new tricks On the back of the 'standing crochet stitch' tip that Claudia from the Crochet Luna Podcast gave me. Eleanor kindly passed on links for the 'starting crochet stitch' which gives a new technique for starting a new row or possibly round in the same colour. Please ignore that fact that I referred to 'standing' crochet during the podcast, I meant 'starting' crochet. Eleanor's link was to a blog by Tamara Kelly from Moggly.com: Starting dc (tr in UK terminology) A little further investigation brought me to this site by Jessie at Home which also gives details for starting dc (sc in US) and starting htc (hdc in US). I have investigated the differences when you use this technique in rows but want to do more to see how it can be used in the round, if at all. I have pulled together a blog post on using the standing dc to show how to do it and the results that you get compared to the standard turning chain method. 2 - Festival of Finishing CrAL Our latest along is the Festival of Finishing Craft Along. The idea is that through the months of June, July and August you work with some of your crafting WIPs. I now have two (cross stitch and knitting) that I want to work on and one to salvage. The graphic for the CrAL looks like this, and you will see it on Ravelry and Instagram. I have been thinking long and hard on the reasons that projects become long-term WIPs and why we consequently get hung up about them and can even begin to feel some level of guilt. Rather than add all of the detail into the show notes, I wrote a detailed blog about it instead. It's full of pointers and will hopefully help you to view your long-term WIPs in a positive and re-energised way. Grab a cuppa and take a look at 'Why you don't finish projects and what you can do about it'. I would love you to get involved with the CrAL and share what you are up to within the Ravelry thread in The Crochet Circle Podcast Group or by using #FestivalOfFinishing on Instagram. A pile each for: finish, frog, salvage or donate will really help you to work out what you could do with each project. Three of my WIPs are now going to be heading off to the Blanket of Love and Hope project in Sweden to be sewn into a larger blanket and distributed to women that need a woolly hug - thanks Yael for telling me about the wonderful project that you, Emmie and Hedvig do. As an additional element, via my company Provenance Craft CoI am going to donate £1 for every finished object (that was previously a long-term WIP) that is added to Instagram using #FestivalOfFinishing, or added to the Ravelry thread. The amount will be capped at £150 and I would LOVE to reach that target. The charity that will benefit from the money is Knit for Peace. Here is what they do: Our policy is to encourage people to give, whether it is time or money. So we set about finding outlets. We now distribute regularly to over 200 outlets, including hospitals, women’s refuges, refugee drop-in centres, prisons, community groups, and hospices as well as to developing countries. We send the knitting (and crochet) to where it’s needed. We also pass on donations of yarn and needles to enable people on low incomes to knit. The operation has grown organically, and we estimate we have over 15,000 knitters. Send your knitting to us and we will make sure that it goes to a good home. If together we finish 150 long-term WIPs, the £150 that I will donate will help to deliver over 750 woollen items to people that really need them. Feel free to also join in with the charitable donations and give £1 or more for every WIP you have that becomes a finished object. Here is the 69-year-old WIP that Ros's Mum kindly let me photograph. As I was pulling together the information for the show Jojotwinkletoes put this up on Instgram and it sums up beautifully (well maybe not) what I intend do after my long-term WIPS has become finished object. 3 - Finished Objects Once again, I didn't think I had much to show for myself, and once again I was wrong! 1 - Another version of Doppio Colosseum but this time in John Arbon Devonia 4 ply in 'Pollen Gold'. 2 - A pair of charity socks for the Sock Line by Winwick Mum. 3 - A first attempt at a cotton dishcloth by Jo at Feather and Thread. Check Jo's patterns out and see her photo of them below - they are much nicer than my attempt (partial blame to the fact that I was gripped by Broadchaurch whilst crocheting it). 4 - I was shown this pattern for face pads by Lisa and they are fantastic! The pattern is by Designs byZula and gives a lovely squishy pad for washing your face and taking off make up. I have also been working on a couple of designs: Versa is the second complete bag in the range that I am working towards and is being tech edited as I type, along with the below shawl. I discovered post-crocheting it that the shawl seems to be very heavily influenced by a cottage that I owned (pre-Matthew) in Chirk, North Wales. Clearly, the gothic windows that dominated the estate worker's cottages stayed with me: My final FO for the month was the Miso shawl by Ambah O'Brien using Tia Merino in The Mysterious Cities of Gold colourway by Countess Ablaze. I knitted this shawl as part of a KAL with my favourite new knitting podcast Fibre Friends. I wasn't initially sure about a single-ply yarn for this shawl but the result is beautifully squishy: 4 - Works in progress There is only one WIP this month and that is a grey cotton bag - the next in the range. You can see it in the photo for the 'starting dc crochet' rows above - there really isn't much much to show you with that design yet. 5 - Feeding the habit Only one thing to show here and that is a gorgeous citrus bag by Ann from Busy Pottering: It came with a lovely notions pouch and some stitch markers - I love them! 6 - Big up There are some great new crochet podcasts out there: Hannah from Florida has The Cozy Cottage Podcast on YouTube Lindsey from Lottie and Albert is also on YouTube Alyson and Vivian have a lovely Mum and daughter audio podcast that airs on YouTube called Keep Calm and Carry Yarn There is a new thread in the Ravelry group for people to add in any CALs/KALs that they know about. 7 - What's Good 10th June is World Knit (and crochet) in Public Day. I am holding a small event in Sandbach at The Old Hall between 11am and 3pm if anyone is local and fancies joining in? I have been listening to the amazing Norse Mythology audiobook, written and narrated by Neil Gaiman. I will listen to this again in the not too distant future! Matthew has been on gardening leave and is currently working on what happens next... It has been lovely to be able to spend more time with him as the pressures of his old employment cease to exist! We have a lovely summer ahead of us and I am searching for coastal areas that we could live in. Watch this space. Until July folks.

In this episode we talk about getting started on a crochet journey, including substituting yarn and the importance of making a tension square; lace-weight yarn; myth-busting – does crochet really use more yarn than knitting? WIP Wall and FOs along with our usual magazine round-up and our look towards Woolfest. Welcome to The Crochet Circle Podcast. Here are the Show Notes from Episode Four. This podcast is sponsored by my online crafting company, Provenance Craft Co. and Lynne Rowe Knitting and Crochet Thanks to everyone who tunes into the podcast whether it is through Stitcher, Podbean, Spotify, iTunes or the YouTube Channel. Your support and engagement are really appreciated and makes running a podcast very special and worthwhile. If you would like to support the podcast, you can do that through Patreon: Rooster Delightful Lace Competition Prize is sponsored by www.roosteryarns.com First, we have a few thank you’s for helping us to reach over 1,200 downloads on Podbean. Thank you to Kathryn at www.crafternoontreats.com who mentioned us in her podcast Episodes 7 and 8 and also to Tamara at www.craftyescapism.com for a great review on her website. Thanks to Trinketknits for her lovely iTunes review and to everyone else that is engaging with us through Pinterest, IG, Ravelry and Twitter. You may have spotted us in Crochet Now, Let’s Knit magazine and Simply Crochet - so thanks to Hugh, Sarah and Sara for featuring The Crochet Circle on their News pages. We're really chuffed to bits. 1. Yay Crochet or Nay Crochet (at 3.55 mins) It's a nay from Fay about lace-weight yarn and having to use anything below a 3mm hook: I love what other people can create, however, it just isn’t for me as I prefer more instant gratification. I don’t intend on doing everything in chunky yarn but I found lace weight crocheting and knitting REALLY frustrating and I’m very happy to leave that in the hands of others... Such as these brilliant examples of miniature crochet, from Suami: https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/SuAmi Its a yay from Lynne on teaching crochet: Last week was the last of my 5 Learn to Crochet Classes at Sandbach in Cheshire. I’ve been running crochet and knitting classes through the Sandbach Adult Education programme for about four or five years now and I’ve met some lovely people along the way – many of whom have become really good friends and even work colleagues J. This time round I had four enthusiastic ladies who had all tried to teach themselves but hadn’t been able to get to grips with crochet and felt that they need to be physically shown, rather than learning by book. It was great that I have a wide range of ages, from a lady in her late 20’s up to a lady who was 79 (and who came on her bike!!!). We learned the basics of crochet and made a flower, granny squares, ripple stitches, shell stitches and we worked in a spiral. I’m always amazed when my pupils return the following week with things they’ve made from the stitches learned and even happier when they tell me how much they’ve enjoyed making things with their new skills. 2. Helpful Hints on how to get started on a project (at 8.05 mins) We're both starting a crochet garment (or two) that we aim to wear at Yarndale. You can join in too and we can see just how stylish crochet can be. We've set up a board here on Ravelry: http://www.ravelry.com/discuss/the-crochet-circle-podcast/topics/3438284 In this episode, we talk about choosing or substituting yarn and the importance of working up a swatch or tension square. We recommend http://yarnsub.com as one method of checking which yarns you could substitute to. We covered making a tension square in the last episode and you can find the notes here: http://thewoolnest.blogspot.co.uk/2016/05/explaining-crochet-tension.html Then in upcoming episodes, we’ll cover: Finishing off the project - best way to sew it together Washing and blocking the project so that the stitches look as they should Wearing/using the object Aftercare Darning if required – dealing with holes etc. Lynne has chosen Aster, by designer Marie Wallin from her book 'Filigree collection three' Ravelry link: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/aster-14 Filigree Book link: http://www.mariewallin.com/filigree.html I love Marie's Filigree collection and have chosen a design as my first 'proper' crochet garment. I will raid my stash for an alternative as I'm desperately trying not to buy yarn. I've written a blog post here on how to substitute yarn: http://thewoolnest.blogspot.co.uk/2016/05/substituting-yarn.html Fay has chosen Liala, also by Marie Wallin – it's a free pattern available on Rowan's website: if you subscribe: http://www.knitrowan.com/designs-and-patterns/patterns/liala The pattern calls for you to use Rowan Panama which is a 55% viscose, 33% cotton and 12% linen mix and although the ball band suggests a 3.25mm hook. I also considered a few other things such as: I want to use my stash; I want the finish to be a little more fitted; I want to use something with wool content and I don't want to use anything below a 3mm hook. After raiding my stash, I found a suitable alternative with Jeanette Sloan Baby Alpaca and Silk and started my tension square. Link to Jeanette Sloan yarn: http://www.jeanettesloandesign.com/ourshop/cat_835200-Baby-Alpaca-Silk-4ply.html It's important to block your tension square as the size of your stitches may change after blocking. For my first square, there was about a 9% increase in size for both stitches and rows which was going to work perfectly for me in substituting yarn and pattern size (so I'll make a small size rather than the medium). It's worth remembering that most yarns when knitted or crocheted up will change when blocked. I like to wet-block almost everything because it helps release the dirt that builds up and it helps to bring out the pattern in the fabric especially if there are cables or lace. But be careful not to over-stretch the fabric when you block. I gently squeezed my square, rolled it up in a towel and then pinned it onto a blocking mat and leave it to dry. It's worth taking the time to assess whether you're using the right yarn, hook or needle, rather than get to the end of a project and then not being happy with the fit or finish of the item having put so much work into it. Here's a link to Fay's Ravelry project for Liala: http://www.ravelry.com/projects/MaDashper/liala We also promised to let all of the Rowan yarns that are being discontinued.
