By Angela Kelly

This is, though, very unfair and pointless. Sportsmen and women in particular need time to grow their talents and part of this is enduring failure as well as success.

Perhaps we all need a bit more humanity and pragmatism when it comes to them. After all, they still WANT to win and definitely don’t let the fans down on purpose.

I for one hope Emma is back competing when her wrists are totally right once more and she has full fitness. Whatever the outcome, she’s a heroine in my eyes – and a winner.

Our heroes are only human so give them a chance

WE all seem to have impossibly high standards for our heroes. And when they fail – for whatever reason – we’re disappointed.

I was thinking about that when I read about poor Emma Raducanu’s woes about her wrists. The tennis player needs surgery on both her wrists which will rule her out of Wimbledon and the French Open.

It really doesn’t seem five minutes since we were thrilled to be basking in her Brit success in 2021 when she burst onto the international scene taking the US Open title.

The 20 year-old from Kent looked to have it all: wonderful tennis skills, charisma that attracted a host of commercial sponsors and even a refreshingly sensible approach to success that created an ideal role model for youngsters everywhere.

We just waited for her to make the next spectacular move and notch up more successes. But it just didn’t happen.

She went out early from major competitions and, for the last 10 months, has been dealing with a recurring injury to both hands.

Emma has always impressed with her no-nonsense approach to both her successes and her failures and deserves massive credit for her approach to professional life.

Even with the current bleak, although temporary, tennis prospects caused by her need for surgery she is thinking of her fans.

In a statement, she explained: “I tried to downplay the issues so I thank all my fans who continue to support me when you did not know the facts. Looking forward to seeing you all back out there.”

A working life in journalism has taught me that we build up our icons to knock them down again, which is particularly cruel but a fact of media life.

People always have impossible expectations of sporting heroes. It’s as though we are living vicariously through them.

Shoppers are shocked at new store rule

EVER since the first supermarket was opened in the UK by Premier Stores in South London in 1951 the population has been hooked on this type of one-stop shopping.

Since then, Tesco, Asda, Aldi, Lidl, Morrisons, Sainsbury’s and the other major names have become firmly ensconced in our retail life. They have simply changed shopping habits forever.

So, major alterations in one of the big names like Sainsbury’s is worth a second glance. In fact, it’s currently worth a controversy.

Sainsbury’s has changed the shopping routine by installing security gates in some stores, forcing customers to scan their receipts in order to leave.

Shoppers have resorted to Twitter to express how the move makes them feel like shoplifters. They allege they are being made to feel like criminals by blocking them leaving before their receipts are checked.

Some point out the difficulties that individuals with disabilities or parents with young children may experience as a result.

The reason for this change is likely to be linked to security and the rise in shoplifting due to the dramatic increase in the cost of living.

This may be just something we have to accept these days but, unfortunately, once one chain has tried it the likelihood of others going the same route is high.

A nose for success?

WHAT sort of a nose have you got?

I know this is a trivial question but it’s currently up for debate as Disney is being slammed over the noses it gives its characters in its films and TV series.

Princesses, for example, usually have little button jobs while witches and other villains tend to have larger, sometimes hooked noses. This, critics believe, sends out the wrong message to young children. The result is that TikTok has been alight with more than 5.3 million views of Disney being called out over their depictions.

You might be tempted to dismiss all this as totally unimportant unless, like me, you looked in the mirror at the nose Nature gave you and realised you were veering towards a villain’s conk. Age has made me realise that not only is the shape of your nose irrelevant but that beauty is very much in the eyes of the beholder. In fact, many acknowledged beautiful women have unconventional noses.

However, I think the Disney critics do have a point here. If you peddle perfection like this you affect the way that anyone –especially youngsters – perceive themselves in today’s competitive world.

Children are already under enough pressure via social media to conform in all sorts of ways. Why add even more by implying their nose is not as “good” as someone else’s and somehow reveals just who you are?

Let’s all say yes to the mess

PROBABLY every home has one “messy drawer”. You know, where we chuck in keys, elastic bands, bits of string, small tools and sundry pieces of paper.

It’s the accepted bit of mess we don’t fret about. A bit like the chair in the bedroom piled high with clothes.

Now, a new book from author Kerri Sackville called The LifeChanging Magic of a Little Bit of Mess makes this all officially acceptable.

Her philosophy basically is “Has anybody got to the end of their life and wished they’d spent more time with their steam mop?” The answer, obviously, is no.

So, she started writing a manifesto for mess which she believes is good for the soul.

Great! So let’s now all accept that our homes will never be completely spotless and let ourselves off the hook. Job done.

FIVE FUN WAYS TO EXPLORE MALTA AND GOZO

TRAVEL WRITER PETRA SHEPHERD GETS ACTIVE

Malta is just a three-hour flight away, perfect for a beach holiday or a city break. The islands’ honey coloured architecture complementing the deepest of Mediterranean blues will be familiar to many Silver Travellers. I too have visited Malta several times, so it was a fun change on a recent visit to discover some alternative ways to explore the islands’ 7,000 years of history and stunning scenery.

DISCOVER THE THREE CITIES IN A SELF-DRIVE ELECTRIC CAR

ENJOY A FERRY RIDE ON A DGHAJSA AND TAKE A BOAT TRIP TO DISCOVER THE BLUE GROTTO

The Dghajsa is a typical Maltese gondola-shaped boat (dating back to the Phoenician times) used extensively in the Grand Harbour to ferry sailors and seamen. Historically, the boats were propelled by one or two men with oars which they stand and push instead of sitting and pulling. Nowadays, they tend to be motorised and can be hailed to cross from Valletta to the Three Cities costing just 2 euros per person. For 8 euros the friendly boatmen will take you on a 30-minute cruise around the Grand Harbour. Another popular boat trip is to the picturesque Blue Grotto and its neighbouring system of caverns that mirror the stunning colours of the underwater fauna. The Maltese coastline hit the silver screen last year, appearing in several international productions, including Hollywood blockbuster Jurassic World: Dominion starring Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard. Several of Malta’s cities feature as the backdrop to many action-packed scenes throughout the movie including Birgu, Pembroke, Mellieħa, and the capital Valletta.

A Rolling Geek is a self-drive electric car that talks and takes selfies. They’re easy to drive, fun, comfortable and a unique way of discovering the three cities. Did you ever want a robot? Well, these are ones on wheels. Rolling Geeks are cars that talk, not like Knightrider, more like Star Wars C-3PO with attitude. Want to earn serious kudos if holidaying with any grandchildren or just want to put a smile on your face, then this is the tour for you. These little electric powered cars are very easy to drive and come complete with a pre-programmed GPS showing you where to go and what to look at when you’re there. With Rolling Geeks, you get all of the knowledge of a tour guide, but with the freedom to park up, get out and explore whenever you want to. In just 2 hours and 30 minutes you get to see three of the richest cities in Malta enjoying the sights of Birgu (Vittoriosa), Isla (Senglea) and Bormla (Cospicua). The three cities sit directly opposite Valletta and offer spectacular views of the capital city. The cars are safe and fully insured and have an inbuilt 2-way communication system with the office watching over you at all times.

Valetta Harbour

The Three Cities

GLIDE THROUGH THE COUNTRYSIDE ON A SEGWAY TOUR

Malta has an array of minor roads, country footpaths and off-road trails. A different way to explore the island’s distinct topography is to go offroad on a segway tour through the rugged countryside taking in views of spectacular cliffs, the jagged coastline and hidden inland valleys. The two-wheeled, self-balancing, electric devices are pretty simple to use and our 90-minute tour with Segway Malta in the north west of the island took in views of the sandy beach at Golden Bay (one of the most popular beaches in Malta) and neighbouring Ghajn Tuffieha.

riding schools in Malta, established in 1981 and has been run by the same family since then, so you’re in safe hands. The horses are well cared for and amusingly named after drinks - there was Whiskey and Guinness, Aperol and Tia Maria and my gentle mare, Brandy. On arrival you’re provided with a high vis waistcoat and a helmet and assigned a horse suited to your experience. Don’t expect this to be a canter / beach ride experience but the ride is a lovely confidence booster for novice riders and more experienced riders like myself can ride upfront and enjoy the tranquillity and views. Also, at just over an hour, no sore bums or legs to contend with!

EXPLORE GOZO BY TUK TUK

Gozo boasts some of the oldest freestanding stone buildings in the world, the UNESCO World Heritage Ggantija Temples dating back to 3,600 B.C. The island is adorned with stunning baroque architecture inherited from the Knights of St.John and has plenty of sights to see both natural and historic, all conveniently packed into a small island. A Gozo tuk tuk tour will chauffeur you to Gozo’s secret landmarks, cherished by locals but not accessible to hop on/hop off bus tours or public transport. These are larger tuk tuks to the ones more commonly found in South East Asia, carrying a maximum of 6 people with the appropriately named Yippee Tours, living up to its happy sounding name.

FUN FOR EVERYONE

Propose a trip to Malta to a bunch of teenagers and it wouldn’t probably be high on their wish list. Catering to a wide range of ages can be a challenge. However, include some of these fun, adventurous activities that all the family can enjoy from 8-year-old grandchildren to 80-year-old active grandparents and suddenly Malta ticks all the boxes for a perfect multi-generational holiday. What’s more the sun shines for 300 days of the year and with oodles of history, it’s pretty educational too.

SADDLE UP FOR A RIDE ALONG THE MALTESE COAST

If taking a segway tour, especially off road sounds a bit daunting the same views and countryside can be enjoyed on horseback. You won’t need to be an experienced rider; novices are taken on a lead reign. Golden Bay Horse Riding is one of the longest standing

2023 UK & EUROPEAN COACH HOLIDAYS & SHORT BREAKS

OLIVIA COLMAN

ACTRESS EXTRAORDINAIRE

FOR the actress who has been a Midsomer murderer, an impressive Queen Anne and, more recently, a mad as a hatter Miss Havisham Olivia Colman has proved that talent endures.

When her face pops up on the large or small screen you know that this is worth watching – and that you’re in for a treat.

She has crammed in a remarkably wide range of characters and performances since her first acting experience in a school production of The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie when she was 16.

But along the way, she has won plenty of plaudits and acclaim from both her audiences and from fellow actors and took an Oscar for her role in The Favourite in 2018.

Olivia was born and brought up in Norwich and briefly considered a teaching career, taking a teaching course at Cambridge University where she also met her future husband, Ed Sinclair.

Acting, however, pulled her away from the world of education and she enrolled at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School which acting luminaries like Daniel Day-Lewis, Jeremy Irons and Patrick Stewart all attended.

She made an early friendship in her acting career with comedy team David Mitchell and Thomas Webb. They went on to star in their own comedy sketch shows and Olivia was invited to join them.

She was also part of their subsequent shows That Mitchell and Webb Look and the acclaimed Peep Show, where she convinced the writers to make her role less likeable because of the way her character treated David Mitchell’s.

Her versatility as an actress was soon recognised and she became a familiar TV face on everything from The Office to Holby City. Comedy, though, remained one of her acknowledged strengths and she was also in regular series including Green Wing, Beautiful People, Rev, Flowers and Fleabag.

In fact, in 2012 Olivia received the BAFTA Award for Best Female Comedy Performance for the comedy series Twenty Twelve. Interestingly – and just to highlight her own diversity – she also received the Best Supporting Actress award for crime programme Accused that year, too.

In 2013, she appeared in the much-admired crime drama Broadchurch, for which she received a British Academy Television Award for Best Actress.

She was also in charismatic thriller mini-series The Night Manager in 2016, scooping a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress – Series, Mini-series or Television Film.

For The Night Manager, Olivia persuaded director Susanne Bier to hire her for the role of Angela Burr despite being heavily pregnant with her third child at the time.

Mini-series generally have proved very fruitful for the actress. In the Netflix series The Crown, she played Queen Elizabeth II and won a Golden Globe Award and a Primetime Emmy Award as well as many new fans.

Other TV roles included Les Miserables in 2019, Landscapers in 2021 and, more recently, romantic comedy drama Heartstopper.

Her role as wealthy, eccentric and sadistic Miss Havisham in the latest TV series based on Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations has prompted a variety of headlines.

Not everyone accepted this more extreme version of Miss Havisham although Olivia remained a fan. She told the BBC: “It’s terrible what happens to Miss Havisham. If only she’d had a therapist or a really good friend to chat to, she might be in a better place.”

She said that Miss Havisham’s heartbreak was relatable to anyone who had been through a bad break-up. “I do understand the upset,” she said, “but I don’t really understand how she’s managed to keep it going for so long.”

Period black comedy and critical screen success The Favourite with Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz was another opinion-dividing film. Few, however, could argue about the quality of Olivia’s performance as the troubled Queen Anne.

Explaining what drew her to the role, Olivia stated:

She has never shied away from tackling difficult themes. In 2020, she starred with Anthony Hopkins in the adaptation of his stage play The Father which focused on an elderly man dealing with memory loss.

This depiction of dementia earned widespread praise for both Hopkins and Olivia and the film received six Academy Award nominations, including one for her as Best Supporting Actress.

This year will see her star in the Disney+ mini-series Secret Invasion, set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And, just for contrast, she was also cast in the musical film Wonka, a prequel to Roald Dah’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which is scheduled for release in December.

Not too surprisingly, Olivia was awarded the CBE (Commander of the Order of the British Empire) in the 2019 Queens Birthday Honours List in recognition of her services to drama.

Away from the large and small screen, Olivia is busy with her three children – two sons and a daughter – and life with her husband who is a well-known TV writer.

In her very diverse career she has also received great reviews and acclaim for roles in Hot Fuzz (2007), Tyrannosaur (2011), The Iron Lady (2011), Hyde Park on Hudson (2012), Locke (2013), The Lobster (2015), Murder on the Orient Express (2017), The Mitchells v The Machines (2021), Empire of Light (2022) and Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (2022). The list goes on and on.

She has supported a number of charities, including as an ambassador for UNICEF UK since 2015, and is often outspoken on various issues concerning women and children.

Olivia is 50 next January – a time when people often re-evaulate their lives. But you just get the feeling that Olivia Colman, actress extraordinaire, probably already has it all sorted.

“I loved that she had every emotion under the sun every five minutes. That’s an actor’s dream. She’s spoiled, grieving, sensitive and cruel.”

BUILDING ON FIRM FOUNDATIONS

Dr Khurrum Hussain is one of just five periodontal specialists in the North West – and he has chosen Ribble Valley based Renovo Dental as his referral clinic.

Photography: Sarah Valentine

Seeking specialist dental treatment, patients throughout the UK travel to the new, Ribble Valley-based Renovo Dental, where there is a top team of dental specialists and general practitioners working with some of the very latest state-of-the-art technology.

As part of the team, Dr Khurrum Hussain is one of just 350 periodontal specialists working in the UK – 220 of those being registered in and around central London.

“Working as part of a multi-skilled team with the same passion really is a dream come true. It takes the planning and patient treatment quality to a whole new level,” says Dr Hussain, who completed his training in periodontology at the globally-renowned Eastman Dental Institute at University College London.

“The institute accepts just four people each year, one from the UK one from Europe and the other two internationally. It was an offer I couldn’t refuse,” he explains.

Graduating from the institute in 2016, Khurrum returned to his roots in the North West, teaching periodontology to post-graduates at Manchester University and using his skillset working privately for BUPA.

As a periodontal specialist, he deals with gum disease and the soft tissue surrounding the palate, degenerating bone issues and failing implants.

He is specially trained in the placement, maintenance and repair of dental implants.

“My ethos is not just to treat patients with periodontal challenges, but I aim to work together to educate and motivate them and I have had excellent results with this approach.

“At Renovo we don’t rush in, we view everything in a calculated way. We offer the latest techniques for diagnosing and treating periodontal disease and are also trained in performing cosmetic periodontal procedures.

“Our gums are very much part of our smile

and they are the foundations on which we work. Our aim is to get gum tissue and bones strong and healthy before we carry out any further work.”

Poorly managed diabetes, smoking or inherited genetics can lead to susceptibility to advanced gum disease – and at Renovo Dental, Khurrum can advise on the best techniques and treatment to overcome the problem.

Treatment of advanced gum disease may require dental surgery, such as:

Soft tissue grafts

To replace lost gum tissue due to recession –a small amount of tissue from the roof of the mouth or using tissue from another donor

Before Left: Pre soft tissue grafting

After Right: Post soft tissue grafting

Procedure time 90 minutes – one visit

source and attaching it to the affected site can help reduce further gum recession, cover exposed roots and give your teeth an improved aesthetic. (As illustrated by the gum graft procedure carried out by Dr Khurrum Hussain in the clinical images above).

Bone grafting

This procedure is performed when periodontitis has destroyed the bone surrounding your tooth root. The graft may be composed of small fragments of your own bone, or the bone may be synthetic or donated. The bone graft helps prevent tooth loss by holding your tooth in place. It also serves as a platform for the regrowth of natural bone.

Guided tissue regeneration

This allows the regrowth of bone that was destroyed by bacteria. In one approach, a special piece of biocompatible fabric is placed between existing bone and your tooth. The material prevents unwanted tissue from entering the healing area, allowing bone to grow back instead.

Tissue-stimulating proteins

Another technique involves applying a

special gel to a diseased tooth root. This gel contains the same proteins found in developing tooth enamel and stimulates the growth of healthy bone and tissue.

“There is often a general lack of awareness of what can be done in terms of the latest techniques, treatments and technology. Too often patients are told that the treatment for gum disease and bone loss is not possible. Yes, it is more complex, impossible it is not. That depends on the skillset of the team carrying out the treatment,” explains Dr Khurrum.

As a brand new clinic, Renovo has invested in all the latest digital technology dentistry has to offer, including a state-of-the-art CT scanner which allows the team to plan and perform very precise implant surgery. This CT-guided surgery for implants is accurate, more safe and comfortable and results in faster healing.

Since launching Renovo Dental, the team’s reputation has spread through word of mouth: “We are very fortunate in what we do and what we have here, and we are all passionate and very dedicated. Renovo is much bigger than a group of individuals – it is all about our patients, changing mindsets and attitudes and giving them support and confidence by providing outstanding dentistry.” n

OUR AIM IS TO GET GUM TISSUE AND BONES STRONG AND HEALTHY BEFORE WE CARRY OUT ANY FURTHER WORK

FRIENDSHIP AND COMMUNITY IN A FIRST-CLASS SETTING

Being surrounded by a wonderful group of friends and a supportive team has exceeded Michael and Pat’s expectations since they moved to an Adlington Retirement Living community last year.

Having spent 41 years in their family home, the couple decided to buy a ground floor apartment at The Woodlands in Heaton Mersey, Stockport, in August 2022.

Since their move, the combination of supportive staff and friendly neighbours has made a real difference to both Pat and Michael.

Pat said: “The whole set up here is so well run. If I could have handpicked all the people who work here, they would be this team. I mean the staff in the restaurant can’t do enough for us and the duty manager and the general manager, they’re just so willing to do anything that we could possibly ask of them.”

Michael said: “The standard of everything here is superb. It’s absolutely top class and I couldn’t wish for anything more. It’s just what we wanted. The staff are so caring. I can’t speak too highly of them. They always ask if everything’s alright and if there’s anything we need. They’re all great.”

Pat said: “Our neighbours are all lovely too. I can’t believe how lucky we are.”

Since moving to The Woodlands, Michael and Pat have continued their active social lives.

Pat said: “It’s nice that there are all these activities going on that you can get involved with if you want to. There are things going on

all the time. We have quiz nights, film nights and take-away meal nights. I’m joining a weekly art class here on a Monday afternoon in the activity room. I used to paint a bit. There’s also a book club and we’re planning to go out to the theatre.”

Their family have been impressed with their parents’ new quality of life too.

Mr and Mrs Parr’s daughter Michelle said: “It’s like being on a cruise ship. There’s a real sense of community and Mum and Dad have made so many friends already. They have a five o’clock club, they meet for lunch, they do keep fit, it’s just given them a whole new lease of life. It’s blown away my misconceptions of retirement living for sure.”

Michael said: “We knew we’d enjoy it, but we didn’t think it was going to be as good as this. It’s everything that I expected and more.”

SUMMER HOME MAKEOVER IN 2023

WE’RE now in the months of the year when the light is at its brightest each day and – even with the vagaries of British weather – we can expect at least some sunshine.

So, let the sunshine in with a Summer home makeover that can cost as much or as little as you like.

Start with the place where Nature thrives: outside. The simple act of PRUNING TREES in your garden really helps preserve natural light in your home.

As Spring prompts that great growth spurt in trees and bushes so the danger of available light being affected increases. Pruning your trees and bushes ensures they thrive and your home still gets the maximum amount of light inside.

If you have large trees, it might be worth calling in a tree surgeon to get the job done safely and efficiently as they have the knowledge for the job and know how to keep trees healthy.

It’s easy to forget that the state of your WINDOWS dramatically affects the light coming into your rooms. Just cleaning them effectively makes a difference but large, uninterrupted panes of glass can really brighten any room, especially your lounge or kitchen where much of daily life happens.

Consider replacement and go along to your local window supplier to see what’s available. Getting someone referred to you because they’ve done such a good job elsewhere can also boost your confidence in a supplier.

Or, if you need to find a company in your area from an accredited source just go to websites like TrustATrader at https://www.trustatrader. com

Investing in patio doors or bifold doors is another great way to get the outdoors indoors and bring the sunshine in. Again, using a supplier who has been recommended is usually best, especially when you can see their handiwork locally.

DOORS can also play a big part in making dingy areas much brighter. Your front door is the most important door in your home because it’s the first thing that visitors see as the portal to your life and also influences that pivotal room, the hallway.

Having new glass panes in your old door or going for a new, modern door with all the great designs currently on offer can make such a difference to this welcoming area.

DE-CLUTTERING your hall – and, actually, many of your rooms – makes a real difference to the amount of light and space there. In the hallway, tidy away coats, boots and shoes in cupboards.

Invest in a new, bright stair-runner to give a splash of colour and consider re-decorating your hallway with bright colours that bounce light around to create an open feeling.

You don’t have to opt for stark white, either, even though this may be useful in some rooms. Warm, golden colours and neutrals give the impression of light and lift the spirits immediately.

Check your plasterwork beforehand, though. If your walls are not smooth and even it’s worth getting in a plasterer before you start re-decorating to get the most from your investment.

And when you’ve got those lovely new, bright walls, don’t be tempted to hang too many pictures or have dark furniture here. Keep that airy feeling – although a cleverly placed large MIRROR can be your friend here and move that light around even more.

This trick with a well-placed, attractive mirror can work in many rooms, especially if you use it to reflect light into normally shady areas. Or try glass tiles as a good option for bathrooms and kitchens if you prefer not to install mirrors.

Opting for a GLOSS PAINT is also a great way of reflecting more light off the walls and back into your rooms. Take a look at the colours you want for different areas and see if there is a glossier version of that shade. This can work particularly well in normally dark rooms with minimum light available.

Is now the time to ditch that old shade you’ve had for 10 years and try something more modern and, quite literally, illuminating? There are plenty of beautiful modern shades around and if you combine them with LED lights you’ll see those darker rooms suddenly come to life all day long.

Use floor and table lamps to light up specific areas of your home for the evenings. The choice out there is huge now and smart styles can really complement the new décor in your home.

One simple way of improving light in your lounge in particular is to simply REARRANGE YOUR FURNITURE. Move that sofa to a different area or angle, add a coffee table and lamp and suddenly you’ve got a brighter area to sit watching TV.

If you’ve got a recliner, move it nearer a window to get the best light for reading: natural light.

De-clutter here, too. It’s amazing the amount of household items we have around us that could be stored away to make room – and light – in much-used areas.

CHANGE YOUR CUSHIONS to match a new colour scheme or to create a new one. Echo this in a colourful throw on your sofa and pick out the colours in artwork on your walls. This kind of coordinated look can give a real Summer-y feel to your main rooms.

A new RUG will do the same job, perhaps picking out those main colours again. It doesn’t require a huge investment to make your rooms look fresh and different this Summer.

If you have a statement wall in your lounge, why not change it? If you just do this one wall, you may feel more like splashing out on more expensive, colourful wallpaper that lifts the whole room.

Bring Nature into your home with INDOOR PLANTS. We all love a bit of greenery and in the Summer months with the doors open, a pleasant breeze blowing through and attractive houseplants placed around it’s easy to feel at one with Nature.

Look around your home as, sometimes, just upgrading smaller items like kitchen handles can give rooms a really fresh, lighter look.

About  Jack...

Jack has been handed over to us as his owners were unable to cope with his behaviour or give him the exercise he needs. Jack seems to prefer men and is quite jealous and has snapped at the lady owner in the home. He has been fine with all the female staff so far and although he is still settling in and finding his feet, he is a sweet boy who really enjoys a good long walk. We feel Jack would be much better in a one-person home where he can get all the attention he needs and doesn’t feel jealous. He is a fit active boy so will love someone who is able to give him lots of long walks. Due to his history jack can not be homed with children of any age.

Nathan Outlaw previously worked with television chef Rick Stein, he now runs his two Michelin Star Restaurant. ‘Restaurant Nathan Outlaw’ in Port Isaac, Cornwall. Here he shares with us some recipes from his new book ‘Fish Kitchen’.

BAKED WHOLE PLAICE AND CIDER ONIONS WITH TARRAGON AND ANCHOVY BUTTER

I really wanted to get this recipe into my first book but I couldn’t fit it in, so I’m delighted to find a place for it here (ha, ha!). Plaice is one of those fish that doesn’t get enough praise. At its best, it is unbeatable in my view. It can handle all sorts of flavours – cider, tarragon, anchovy and onions for instance!

Serves 2

Ingredients

• 1 plaice, at least 1kg, gutted

• 50ml olive oil

• 2 white onions, peeled and finely sliced

• 2 bay leaves

• 200ml dry cider

• Cornish sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

• Tarragon and anchovy butter

• 200g unsalted butter, softened

• Bunch of tarragon, leaves only

• 2 shallots, peeled and finely chopped

• 4 salted anchovy fillets, chopped

Method

Heat your oven to 220°C/Gas 7. For the flavoured butter, put the softened butter into a bowl. Chop the tarragon and add to the butter with the chopped shallots and anchovies. Mix well until evenly combined and season with pepper, and a little salt, if needed, to taste. Shape the butter into a roll on a sheet of cling film, wrap in the film and twist and tie the ends to seal. Refrigerate to firm up. Put the olive oil, onions and bay leaves in a roasting tray, pour on the cider and cook in the oven for 20 minutes. Season the

plaice all over with salt and pepper. Take the roasting tray from the oven and lay the fish on top of the onions. Put the tray back in the oven and cook for 12–15 minutes, or until the plaice is just cooked. Meanwhile, unwrap and slice the butter. To check the fish is cooked, make an incision into the thickest part and see if the flesh is pulling away from the bone. Slice the butter, lay it on top of the fish and pop the tray back into the oven for 2 minutes. Serve the plaice simply with the cider onions and lemon wedges.

BRILL WITH MUSSELS, COCKLES, CLAMS, ASPARAGUS AND SPRING ONIONS

Big fillets of brill are brilliant for poaching. When pan-fried or grilled, they can become a bit dry but poaching gives you more control. Cooking them in a shellfish stock with clams, cockles and mussels works particularly well. Fresh asparagus gives this dish a real sense of spring. You might like to throw in a few early season peas and broad beans too – and vary the herbs.

Serves 4

Ingredients

• 4 brill fillets, about 200g each, skinned and trimmed

• 12 live mussels, cleaned and beards removed

• 12 live cockles, cleaned

• 12 live clams, cleaned

• 500ml shellfish stock

• 12 asparagus spears

• 8 tbsp cold-pressed extra virgin rapeseed oil

• 3 tbsp white wine vinegar

• 4 spring onions, trimmed and finely shredded

• 2 tsp chopped chervil

• 50g unsalted butter, in pieces

• Cornish sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method

To open the molluscs, place a large saucepan (that has a tight-fitting lid) over a medium heat. When it is hot, add the mussels, cockles, clams and 100ml shellfish stock and put the lid on.

Steam for 2 minutes until the shells open; discard any that remain closed. Tip the contents of the pan into a colander set over a bowl to catch the cooking liquor. Strain the saved liquor through a muslinlined sieve into a bowl to get rid of any sand.

Clean the pan, ready to cook the fish. Trim the asparagus and peel the lower end of the stems; set aside ready to cook. To make the dressing, in a small pan, mix 180ml shellfish stock with the extra virgin oil and wine vinegar.

Add the spring onions and chervil and season with salt and pepper. To cook the brill fillets, pour the remaining shellfish stock, including

the strained stock from the molluscs, into the saucepan and bring to a simmer. Season the brill fillets, add them to the stock and cook for 4 minutes.

Add the asparagus and molluscs, put the lid on the pan and cook for 2 minutes. Carefully transfer the brill, molluscs and asparagus to a warmed dish; cover and keep warm.

For the sauce, bring the stock to the boil over a high heat and whisk in the butter. Share the asparagus between 4 warm plates.

Place the brill fillets on top and arrange the molluscs around the fish. Spoon over the dressing. Serve with the sauce.

Stepping into summer: breast cancer screening and breast cancer awareness

It’s nearly summer and many of us will be planning a summer getaway or simply timeout to relax. Whether you prefer to wear a kaftan, sarong or bikini on the beach, or in the garden at home, when the sun is out, we want to look and feel our best.

Looking and feeling tiptop means looking after our health and taking time to do this. For women aged from 50 up to 71 this should also include attending for breast cancer screening when invited.

What is breast screening?

Breast screening (or mammography) is an X-ray of the breast which allows early changes in the breast tissue to be identified. Most changes detected may not be because of cancer but if they are, early detection will often mean that treatment is less intense and the chance of making a full recovery is higher.

Who is entitled to breast cancer screening?

Women registered with a GP and aged from 50 years up to their 71st birthday are entitled to free NHS breast screening. A letter is sent every three years inviting eligible women for breast cancer screening. You do not have to book an appointment as it is pre-booked. The letter contains details about your appointment including, date, time, and venue. However, if it is inconvenient, please call the breast screening office to rearrange.

Being breast aware

In the UK breast screening is offer to eligible women every three years, so being ‘breast aware’ and checking your breasts in-between your mammograms is vitally important.

Check your breasts on a regular basis. Choose a date which will be easy for you to remember so for example, many women choose to check their breasts on the 1st of every month. If you notice any changes or have any concerns after checking your breasts, make an appointment to see your GP straight away.

Rash or crusting

ARE YOUR DENTURES CAUSING YOU TEETHING TROUBLES?

Many denture wearers suffer with poor fitting, worn out or artificial (false) looking dentures that cause the wearer to feel a lack of confidence in their dentures.This can present itself when chewing or even by just worrying about the denture dropping during a conversation. All these are issues thatValley Denture Clinic specialise in correcting.

Over recent years there have been many improvements in both the way we construct dentures and in the materials and denture teeth that we use. This means that the end result looks more natural than ever before. Why not call for a FREE Consultation to find out more about these new innovations in denture design and manufacture?

DENTURES NEED REGULAR SERVICING

Dentures are in constant use almost 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. They are also in a pretty hostile environment in the mouth, being attacked by strong acid, bacteria, hot, cold and spicy food. Denture material absorbs liquids and food odour.

Daily cleaning is essential as well as professional ultrasonic cleaning in a dental laboratory at least once a year. Due to constant bone resorption dentures will become loose sooner or later.

Loose dentures will increase damage to the gums and bone structure, and increase the risk of breakage. Have them re-lined as soon as possible to get a good fit. It only takes a day or two.

Have your dentures inspected by a Clinical Dental Technician at least every two years, or more frequently if necessary.

YOUR DENTURES NEED ATTENTION

1. When they become loose.

2. When teeth or denture base discolours.

3. When tooth surfaces become flat.

4. When denture base does not fit around natural teeth (in partial dentures).

5. When you develop deep lines around your mouth.

6. When your chin sticks out, and the corners of your lips are constantly wet, developing sores.

7. When you stop smiling and feel embarrassed.

MY DENTURES HAVE BECOME LOOSE!

This is easily remedied by a procedure know as Re-lining. A new layer of Denture base is added to your existing Denture, improving the fit and restoring confidence.

DENTURES ON IMPLANTS

This type of Denture is constructed in conjunction with the Dental Implant Surgeon. This is a very good procedure when the patient has limited control and retention of their Dentures. The finished Dentures ‘click’ into position offering the ultimate in Denture Retention.

SHOULD I HAVE A SPARE SET OF DENTURES MADE?

Yes, it is very important to have a spare set of dentures for emergencies in case of breakage.

Kevin and Janet Abbott from Valley Denture Clinic

CONSTRUCTING A GOOD SET OF DENTURES

Constructing a functional and aesthetically pleasing set of dentures is the most difficult task in dentistry. We are not only replacing lost teeth, but also lost tissue matter and bone. In other words, we have to re-create your facial features as they were before the loss of your natural teeth.

In most cases we do not know what your teeth looked like, what size they were or what position they were in originally. We have a few indications but mostly we have to rely on our visual and artistic judgement.

At the same time we have to use our technical expertise in order to make the denture stable and functional. Denture construction is a mixture of art and science.

WHAT IS A CLINICAL DENTAL TECHNICIAN?

A Clinical Dental Technician (CDT) is a qualified dental technician that has under gone further Education and Training in areas such as Medical Emergencies Cross Infection Control and Oral Pathology (cancers and anomalies) to name just a few sections that make up the Diploma in Clinical Dental Technology as

Awarded by the Royal Collage of Surgeons (RCS).

It is this qualification that allows the clinicians at Valley Denture Clinic to be able to be registered and regulated with the General Dental Council (the official body for protecting the public with regards to dentistry) and carry indemnity insurance. It is this qualification, which means that only Dentists and Clinical Dental Technicians are the only Dental Professionals permitted to supply dentures direct to the public.

A dental technician is not qualified to supply a denture directly to the public. However, despite this being an act of Mal practice many technicians will still practice illegally without informing the patient that they are not qualified. If you are unsure if your denture provider is qualified; ask them for their GDC registration number, then contact the GDC to see if they are registered not just as a dental technician but as a CDT.

OUR MISSION

At Valley Denture Clinic our mission is to provide a dedicated, quality service tailored to creating each patients’ individual smile. We produce bespoke handcrafted dentures, removable dental appliances and custom made sports guards in our clinic and onsite dental laboratory.

VALLEY DENTURE CLINIC

Here at Valley Denture Clinic we pride ourselves in providing our patients with quality, bespoke and comfortable dentures and all other removable appliances with a caring professional approach.

Our family run private clinic offers easy ground floor access, disabled facilities, good travel links and plenty of parking. All the dentures are made in our on-site laboratory by our principal Clinical Dental Technician Kevin and our open book policy means you can even watch your dentures being made!!

DID YOU KNOW?

It is illegal for anyone who is not a GDC registered Dentist or Clinical Dental Technician to make a dental appliance directly to the public. This includes dentures or tooth whitening. Anyone providing these services should be reported to the General Dental Council or Trading Standards as they are practicing dentistry without the appropriate qualifications or indemnity insurance.
