00:03 The father of a terminally ill teenager, made homeless by flooding during Storm Bebette,

00:08 has said he has been overwhelmed by donations and housing offers from members of the public.

00:14 Richard Eden's daughter Emily, who is 18, is currently living in a hotel room with her

00:18 family after they were forced to evacuate their home on Claycrossers Windermere Road.

00:23 Emily was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer just four weeks before her family

00:28 home was inundated with floodwater on October 20th.

00:31 She had been receiving palliative care at home at the time, her wish being to spend

00:35 her final days in the house where she grew up.

00:38 Since news spread of the family's sad story, members of the community have offered their

00:42 homes rent-free to pay the family's hotel bill and started fundraising pages.

00:48 Speaking about the donations and the offers of housing, Richard said "It's unbelievable.

00:53 The response is overwhelming.

00:55 It's overwhelming how good people are.

00:57 The community is amazing, and all the good that people are doing really helps."

01:03 A pioneering cookery school that brought food and drink enthusiasts to the Peak District

01:07 from around the world is going up for sale.

01:10 When Hartington School of Food and Bakewell opened in 2010, owners Chris Horne and Julie

01:15 Riles wanted to combine their love of real food and the region.

01:19 They brought experts, from celebrity chefs to third generation cheese makers, to teach

01:24 classes, inspiring people to launch their own new businesses.

01:28 People travelled from as far afield as Australia, Hong Kong and India to undertake courses in

01:33 the former timber mill called Rutland Mill next to the River Wye.

01:38 Now Chris and Julie want to pass the baton on.

01:40 They hope to sell both the commercial property and the adjoining two-bedroom apartment.

01:45 Rutland Mill is for sale with a guide price of between £600,000 and £650,000 including

01:50 the apartment and commercial space.
