We’ve included a map of how it would have looked when D H Lawrence was alive.” Martin added; “We are not being paid any royalties whatsoever. We hold these walks very dearly and just want to share them with as many people as possible.” The book is available from Amazon either as a paperback or a download. 32 Please mention ngmagazines when responding to adverts

vaccinating your pet by Scarsdale Vats Dog vaccinations Vaccinating your pet is a key step in protecting your pet against life threatening diseases. Vaccinations boost your pet’s immunity and act as the first line of defence against some very nasty and potentially fatal diseases. Puppies get protection initially in life from their mother’s milk and then as they are weaned this protection wanes and thus vaccinations are required to maintain it. Typically, we vaccinate puppies at 8, 10 and 12 weeks of age, to allow for early socialisation at 11 weeks of age. The primary puppy course acts to stimulate the body’s immune system to produce a protective response then the yearly booster afterwards maintains this immunity. Cat vaccinations Vaccinating your cat is very important for their health and for the control of infectious disease, not only for your cat but for the cat population as a whole. Kittens can typically be vaccinated from 9 and 12 weeks of age. The greater the proportion of the population that is vaccinated the lower the risk for your cat, even when they themselves are vaccinated. Rabbit vaccinations Rabbit vaccination is available against two fatal diseases – Myxomatosis and Viral Haemorrhagic Disease. Rabbits can typically be vaccinated from 7 weeks of age. We strongly recommend that all pet rabbits be vaccinated on an annual basis with the combined vaccination for Myxomatosis and Viral Haemorrhagic Disease. Booster vaccination after an initial course is vital for all rabbits. Remember Scarsdale Vets always combines vaccinations with a full health assessment. We routinely vaccinate dogs, cats and rabbits against common viruses. For further information on vaccinating your pets, please visit www.scarsdalevets.com or call 01332 678333.

A local retired couple have used lockdown to<br />

publish a new walking book celebrating a world<br />

famous author’s love of the countryside.<br />

Martin and Chris Perry, who have lived in Watnall for<br />

42 years, were inspired by Eastwood’s D H Lawrence.<br />

The book, entitled ‘D H Lawrence Country - 10<br />

Circular Walks’ encourages readers to explore the<br />

area where Lawrence grew up and compare the<br />

scenery to how it would have looked when Lawrence<br />

was alive. All of the walks are centred around famous<br />

landmarks referred to in Lawrence’s books including:<br />

Cossall (Cossethay in The Rainbow)<br />

Brinsley Colliery (Beggarlee in Sons and Lovers)<br />

Haggs Farm (Miriams Farm in Sons and Lovers)<br />

Martin said; “We’ve concentrated on the beautiful<br />

countryside, the ‘country of his heart’. We’ve included<br />

a map of how it would have looked when D H<br />

Lawrence was alive.”<br />

Martin added; “We are not being paid any royalties<br />

whatsoever. We hold these walks very dearly and just<br />

want to share them with as many people as possible.”<br />

The book is available from Amazon either as a<br />

paperback or a download.<br />
