July 2nd, 2010 - The Marchday Peloton.
Sophie climbs.
Is it just us or is cycling everywhere you look these days? With the Tour de France kicking off tomorrow (and England out of the World Cup) it seems that pedal power is on everybody’s minds.
The Marchday teams at Lingfield Point, Darlington and New Lodge, Windsor have recently taken advantage of the Government’s ‘Cycle to Work’ scheme and have really caught the cycling bug in the process. So far Marchday have bought 8 bikes through the scheme with more in the pipeline. At Lingfield Point the Marchday Peloton can feature up to 7 riders on their regular Tuesday night rides out into Teesdale and Weardale and new ‘rouleurs’ are always welcome.
New Lodge manager Paul Buckley began riding in March and has already taken part in some grueling sportifs including the recent Chilterns 100, a hilly 100 mile course which he completed in 6:26 only four weeks after breaking his wrist in a cycling spill. He’s hard! Speaking of which, the Marchday cycling guru at Lingfield Point is (Hard) Colin who has inspired the boys and Sophie to amazing feats of endurance. Of course Sophie was a professional mountain bike rider so this is all a bit too easy for her.
So, do we cycle to work? Well…. sometimes…. but we all cycle lots, are enjoying every minute of it and feeling (and maybe even looking) better as a result – and that must be the result the Government is after – isn’t it?
July 1st, 2010 - A Taste of Honey.
Lingfield Point Honey - Liquid Gold.
After much talk our bees at Lingfield Point Darlington have done what they do best and despite a bitter winter have produced their first crop of honey. Having tasted it we can honestly say it’s some of the best honey we’ve ever tried. Our bees forage over a wide area and the silky, soft set consistency suggests that they are feeding on a wide range of wild flowers, including our own wild flower meadows.
We’re really enjoying our first experience of beekeeping and thanks to Willie, Chris, Colin and Graham hope our bees will produce around 40-50lbs of honey from the two hives this summer. It’s also thanks to Christian Barnes, one of the artists behind the ‘Futurescope’ art project as his thinking has been inspirational to us.
It’s really exciting to hold our first jar of honey after so much anticipation – let’s hope it’s the first of many.
Our first honey harvest.
June 3rd, 2010 - Now available – Lingfield Lamb!
The latest iconic Futurescope image by artists John Kennedy and Christian Barnes was revealed this week at Lingfield Point, Darlington. ‘Lingfield Lamb’ is a lovely reference to Lingfield Point’s heritage as a wool factory whilst looking to the future plans for organic food production on site as part of our sustainable mixed community. You can read all about the thinking behind the image by clicking on Christian’s blog site, http://futurescopedarlington.blogspot.com/
We’re all interested in where our food comes from and how it’s produced. At Lingfield Point we already have allotments and an organic garden producing fruit and veg for local residents. Last year we installed beehives and hope to sell our own honey to customers in our café this summer. Who knows, some time in the future Lingfield Point might be home to a flock of its very own but for now we’ll have to make do with this little fella!
