It's made from unpasteurised ewe's milk on the 16th century Ram Hall Farm on the edge of Berkswell village. \"We've learned a lot as we have gone along and are still learning things now. There's more to cheese making than you think. \"It's a very satisfying thing to do and when someone rings you up and says yours is the best cheese it's worth all the hard work.\"

The whey forward for cheese doyenne ; Sheila Fletcher has come a long way since she first began to experiment making sheep's cheese in the early 1990s. The Midland farmer's wife has won awards for her handmade Berkswell, and supermarkets are clamouring to buy it. Now there are plans to expand the empire, discovers
A waft of ammonia hits you in the nose as farmer's wife and sheep's cheese doyenne [Sheila Fletcher] opens the door to one of the dark-green, caravan-sized refrigerated storage units, outside the doors of the dairy and milking parlour. Once your nostrils recover from the onslaught, the ripe, slightly gamey aroma takes over, wafting from the shelves that range up each wall, where row after neatly-arranged row of knobbly, golden-yellow cheese rounds lie maturing. After they have pummelled the curds into submission with their fists to bind them together, adding more curd from another colander until they've made a dome shape, they then flip it over into an empty colander, exposing a benippled mound where the cheese was draining through the holes of the first colander. The cheese, still leaking whey, is then left to rest on a stack of metal shelves, being turned frequently for the rest of the day so it dries out evenly through the cheese, and again last thing at night by Sheila in the way she has been doing for the last 13 or so years. 'When we started with the sheep, we started doing frozen pints of milk, and we also started getting interested in cheese. People were making cheese with goats' milk as an alternative to making cheese from cows' milk.

Beauty Style: Fade to grey? No thanks
Previous to her treatment at the hands of those nice people at [Schwarzkopf], [Sheila Fletcher] applied the Re-Nature Creme on two separate occasions, so her hair was able to gradually return to its original colour - avoiding the faux pas of turning from grey tobrown overnight.

Obituary: Sheila Fletcher
The elder of two sisters, she was born in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, in 1924. Her father, Bill Lerpiniere, of Huguenot descent, had built up a road-haulage business between the wars; her mother, [Sheila Margaret Lerpiniere] (nee Scott), was Scottish in origin. While not highly educated herself, Margaret was determined that her daughters should receive the best education available. From Queen Elizabeth Grammar School, Mansfield, where she showed both literary and musical abilities, Sheila went to Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford, to read History. Because of the Second World War, she was only at LMH for two years, before being sent to the Ministry of Education, where she worked from 1944 to 1951. Fletcher, allowed a full run of the Hagley archives, took a typically original line in looking not at the boys but at the girls, Meriel, Lucy, Lavinia and May, all of whom kept diaries and wrote copious letters. The wonderfully rich sources and Fletcher's remarkable eye for detail led to a compelling book. The reader, as in a novel, becomes deeply immersed in the lives and feelings of the girls. Following a superb set piece describing the death of Lady Lyttelton (\"I am going away from you. I did not think it would have been so soon\"), six months after the birth of her last son, we see the girls growing up, courting and marrying, only for tragedy to strike again: May dies of typhoid, Lord Lyttelton commits suicide and Lucy's husband, Fred (Lord Frederick Cavendish) is murdered by Irish terrorists in Phoenix Park in Dublin. Yet Victorian Girls is by no means a gloomy book. The girls, though religious, are full of zest and vitality.

St. Catharines, ON: Crabtree, 2012. 24 pp., pbk. & hc., $7.95 (pbk.), $18.36 (RLB.). ISBN 978-0-7787-2059-1 (pbk.), ISBN 978-0-7787-2052-2 (RLB). Designed to introduce very young readers to the physical properties of various materials, the new \"What's the Matter?\" series explains some scientific concepts in a very simple way. Readers use their observation skills, their five senses and prior knowledge to compare and contrast two opposite physical properties- heavy/light, hot/cold, smooth/rough, etc. The books are \"interactive\" in that they pose questions for readers to ponder or ask them to examine photographs of objects to find the answers. Each of the titles has 10 short chapters. The first few pages in the series are very similar, explaining the words \"matter\", \"mass\" and 'properties\". Wherever possible, the titles give examples of the uses for many of the objects that are described.
