Deputy Weekend editor Lucy Parford remembers her nans’ blackberry and apple crumbles. “Both my nans made amazing crumbles with apples from their gardens and wild blackberries,” she says. “There’s nothing better than coming back from a long Sunday walk and sitting down to a bowl full, served with lashings of cream, obviously.”
“Homemade cauliflower cheese,” says Weekend designer Joyce. “Preferably made with cauliflower grown in the garden and really mature Cheddar. “Served with chips or sausages, you can’t beat it.”
“A wild mushroom risotto with a hint of truffle oil and plenty of good Parmesan cheese,” says feature writer Jonny. “It has to be one of the most comforting and moreish meals you can eat – perfect with a large glass of crisp white wine.”
“I’m a sucker for homemade crumbles,” says Weekend editor Tanya. “My other half makes a mean apple, blackberry and plum crumble with fruit from our orchard. It involves almonds on the top and demerara sugar, with proper custard. “None of that fancy creme Anglaise stuff. “That, and a glass of homemade sloe gin after a big welly walk is unbeatable.”
“Autumn is all about getting back to roast dinners for me, but with the added bonus of using produce from our allotment, so that means potatoes, runner and French beans, onions and leafy green veg,” says feature writer Helen. “Our favourite is slow roasted lamb with a red wine and redcurrant sauce, which just falls off the bone. I also make a mean chicken and mushroom pie.”

Victoria’s SECRETS
Her husband may be a well-known face on TV, but Victoria Hislop is in no hurry to invite fellow celebrities round for dinner. Ahead of her visit to Cheltenham Literature Festival next month, the bestselling novelist tells WEEKEND why she treasures her anonymity @WeekendGlos

T
HE Hislop family is undoubtedly a superbright one. Bestselling novelist Victoria and Private Eye editor Ian met at Oxford University, their daughter Emily graduated from the same esteemed establishment and their son William is currently studying history there. “Ian is much cleverer than I am,” insists Victoria, whose debut 2005 novel The Island has to date sold more than three million copies worldwide, been translated into 31 languages and was made into a hit 26-part Greek TV series, in which both Victoria and Ian had walk-on parts. The 55-year-old author, who has written four novels and one book of short stories, always gets her husband’s feedback before sending her manuscript to the publisher. “It takes him about two days to go through it, and at the end of the two days he gives me a tutorial. It’s not problematic. We were at the same university doing the same degree (English) at the same time. “Ian is much more intellectual than I am. At university, he used to lend people his essays so they could copy them. He should have rented them out at 50p a go because it would have paid his bar bill. “So I am anxious when I give my manuscript to him, as to what he’s going to find. It’s not very comfortable, because I want serious comment. He doesn’t do a lot of detail, but he gives me feedback which I take in and absorb.” Thankfully, he didn’t have anything drastic to say about her latest novel, The Sunrise, set in the sunshine resort of Famagusta in Cyprus in 1972, where Greek and Turkish Cypriots live in harmony. It centres on an ambitious couple who open the most glitzy hotel there – The Sunrise – only for prosperity and happiness to be scuppered by the conflict between Turkey and Greece, with devastating effects on both Greek and Turkish Cypriot communities. Victoria first visited the city on a gap year in 1978, when the war had split the north from the south of the island, only to find that Famagusta – once a thriving city and tourist haven with a myriad of beachfront hotels – was now a ghost town surrounded by barbed wire netting, fencing off the hotels, manned by Turkish armed guards. “We weren’t allowed to go
anywhere near the beach, which is the main focal point of the book,” she explains. When she returned years later, nothing had changed. “It’s the first book I’ve written about a place where you can’t go. The buildings have remained derelict or ransacked. I assume that the rats and the mice don’t bother to go in there, because there can’t be any food left.” As in many of her books, the latest features a string of family secrets, something she’s familiar with. “The one that really motivated me was the fact that I discovered I had a sister who I never knew existed. “That had a big impact on me at the time. She died before I was born, but she’d sort of been erased, as a way of dealing with grief. “Growing up, we never had any pictures in frames, which I thought was normal. My dad (who by then had separated from her mother) mentioned it when I was about 30 and I was really shocked. “Slowly, I asked my mother about it. She was still very upset talking about it, but it seemed a fairly enormous thing not to have known.” Victoria met Ian in the English library at Oxford University. “He was already quite well
known, because he edited the Oxford version of Private Eye and some of my friends distributed it for him. I think their payment was going to a party at the end of the year.” They married seven years later, and when Emily was born, Victoria decided to work from home. Later, on holiday in Crete, she was inspired by a visit to Spinalonga, the abandoned Greek leprosy colony, to write The Island. “They printed 5,000 copies in hardback and I had an enormous party. But I always knew it was a good story, although initially, it had been very hard to get published. It wasn’t snapped up, there was no auction, people weren’t fighting over it. The subject matter of leprosy wasn’t commercial.”

However, the book earned Victoria the title of Newcomer of the Year at the British Book Awards, prompting her to learn Greek and become an ambassador for leprosy charity Lepra. When the TV series was made, Victoria had a walk-on part as a leprosy patient. Ian played the English father of one of the characters in the opening scene. Today, she still finds inspiration in Greece and spends a lot of time at their house in Crete. “Ian likes being active; going out on boats, swimming and learning to dive. He’s very good at switching off. “I find it easy to be inspired there.” She is recognised more in Greece than in the UK, and deliberately omits her picture from the paperback editions.
“I simply don’t want to be recognised. I’m never recognised in England unless I’m out with Ian.” She’s used to her husband being approached when they’re out in this country, but their social circle doesn’t feature many TV faces. “There are some TV people who mostly socialise with TV people. Ian’s TV work is an aside to his other work. We might have dinner with Paul (Merton, Ian’s Have I Got News For You colleague)and his wife once between series, but we wouldn’t ring each other up to go to the pub. “I hate dinner parties, but if we had one, there wouldn’t be many famous faces. A lot of celebrities don’t really like each other, so why would you put them all round a table together?” ■ The Sunrise by Victoria Hislop is published by Headline Review on Thursday, priced £19.99. ■ Victoria is appearing at Cheltenham Literature Festival on Friday, October 10.

Nick Knowles and wife Jessica
Nick was with me at the birth
TV presenter Nick Knowles has told of his panic as wife Jessica, from Cirencester, had to have an emergency caesarean. Jessica had originally said she didn’t want the DIY SOS host at the birth, claiming that seeing her in pain would affect their love life. But in the end, baby Eddie arrived with Nick at her side after a 20-hour labour and a dramatic rush to hospital near her Berkshire home. Doctors told her she needed a caesarean section and could only have one person with her. She told Hello! magazine: “I needed Nick because I didn’t know if our baby and I would be okay. I was very scared.” Nick, 51, said he feared he might lose everything as it emerged the umbilical cord was around the baby’s neck. “The light went out of (Jessica’s) eyes and . . . I was being told our baby’s heart rate had dipped again. There was a subdued feeling of panic.” Nick, who already has three grown-up children with ex-wife Gillian – Charles, TJ and Tuesday – said welcoming baby Eddie to the family had added a “blissful new layer” to the relationship with Jessica, whom he met in 2009.

Winter pastels Freshen up the traditional palette with dreamy pastels. Instead of sickly sweet, think cool tones like lavender, mint and ice blue. Avoid prints and detailing and reach for pale, block colour. Choose either a sleek, minimalist cut or do two trends in one and pick a fuzzy textured teddy bear look. ■ This Autograph pastel coat is £110, with Autograph jumper, £45, skirt, £49.50 and shoes, £49.50, all from Marks & Spencer. ■ Dusty pink coat, £225, from asos.com

fall for Make space in your wardrobe for autumn’s key trends, from pastels to faux fur Furry finesse The ultimate texture for this season is shaggy. Faux fur, fuzzy knits, statement shearling. Overcoats and gilets work best, but balance out the fluff factor with a streamlined outfit underneath. Sleek leather or bodyskimming silk is the perfect antidote. If you don’t want to go all-out, opt for a Prada-inspired fuzzy-trim coat. Aim for a furry collar and cuffs so big that you can forgo your scarf and gloves.

Tight curls and Afro hair are tricky to style and keep in tip-top condition. HELEN BLOW meets a new young stylist who is specialising in making them your crowning glory
A
HEAD of wild curls worn with confidence and pride are, at the very least, head-turning and wonderful. But tight curls and Afro styles can be tricky hair to deal with and not all women know how to make the best of it. Enter Saskia Wright, the newest stylist at Blushes hair salons in Cheltenham and Gloucester, who will be specialising in all things curly. For her, Afro hair is a part of life as she sports a fabulously curly style that perfectly frames her face. She is very comfortable with her hair and loves wearing it curly, but admits it wasn’t always like that. “When I was growing up I went through a period when I absolutely hated my hair and got bullied for it at school,” she said. “I saw girls with long, straight hair and I wanted that so I went for weekly blow dries to keep it straight.” But times – and Saskia’s attitude – have changed. “Now I love it and I like the fact that I stand out. You only get one head of hair so you should make the most of it.” Saskia will be working in
18
both the Cheltenham and Gloucester salons, as a regular stylist with a speciality for Afro and excessively curly hair. Salon co-owner Darrell Blake said: “We are really excited about having somebody who is an expert in the field for Afro/ curly hair. “This hair is a completely different fabric and needs to be treated in a specialised way. “We have never embarked on doing this type of hair work before as we did not believe that we had the right skills and understanding to offer this service.” At just 19, Saskia has already worked for another salon gloucestercitizen.co.uk/weekend gloucestershireecho.co.uk/weekend

Bravissimo gets the fit just right BRAVISSIMO sells a wide range of beautiful lingerie in cup sizes D-L, bra sized swimwear and nightwear with an integral soft cup bra as well as its Pepperberry clothing range designed to flatter bigger busts. The brand has recently opened its latest store in Cheltenham’s Regent Arcade. Bravissimo turns what may have been a negative experience of buying lingerie, swimwear and nightwear into a fun, pleasurable one where women with bigger chests are offered a wide choice of styles and colours. Every woman is different, so using a tape measure doesn’t necessarily help to ensure your bra is fitting correctly. Bravissimo’s fully-trained fitters will spend time trying different styles and shapes until they find the perfect fit for you. Store manager, Claire Barnes, says: “If you’ve got big boobs, a good-fitting bra can transform the way you look and feel about yourself. “It’s important to know how a good-fitting bra looks and feels whatever size you are.” The store provides a free bra-fitting service to ensure your bra looks and feels fantastic. So pop into the store in the Regent Arcade, next toTK Maxx, for your free fitting or book ahead by calling 01242 539619.
Saskia believes in making the most of your head of hair
before coming to Blushes. As well as blow dries, Saskia will be doing treatments that take the frizz out of hair but leave the curls in. “It leaves the hair looking natural and much easier to deal with,” she said. “Afro hair is actually quite weak and fine but it takes the strongest products so it needs to be treated properly. “Just like other kinds of hair, there are lots of different types of Afro hair from completely straight hair to the tightest curl. “As well as treatments, I would also love to look into doing weaves and braids. “I am really pleased that I @WeekendGlos
am at this point in my life and still so young. “When my mum moved abroad to live, I had to stand on my own two feet and it made me want to be successful in what I had chosen to do.” To coincide with Saskia’s arrival, Blushes is stocking a new range of shampoos, conditioners and treatments to use on this kind of hair. “The L’Oreal Mizani range will be unique to this area and will work wonders for not only Afro hair but for those clients with excessively curly hair,” said Darrell. ■ Contact Blushes on 01242 226644 or visit blushes.co.uk

NYONE with backache will appreciate the relief a good massage can bring or the benefits of a trip to an expert therapist. But often the trick behind finding proper respite is having regular, effective treatment which most of us can’t always afford. Stretching exercises work to a certain degree but there always seems to be something missing that can get right into the problem areas. However Cheltenham osteopath Jason Rosser may have come up with the answer. A keen designer and full of great ideas, Jason has come up with a piece of equipment that provides that extra something to ease back pain through gentle exercise. Made from toughened plastic and foam PU, the funky-looking Bacrac acts as a prop to help align, mobilise and decompress the lower back joints during stretching exercises. It has taken Jason and Cheltenham designer Alex Lee three years and no fewer than nine prototypes to come up with the perfect device and now they are ready to launch it on the market.
20
The project was funded through pre-orders from creative fundraising company Kickstarter and the Bacrac will go on sale to the public at an introductory offer of £60. Jason has been practising osteopathy in Cheltenham for 24 years and has always been keen on design. “I suppose I’m really a frustrated designer and during my career I’ve always had little design projects on the go,” he said. “Through my work I have been aware of the need to give patients with acute and chronic back disorders the opportunity to help themselves. “With this device they can do just that by spending a few minutes every day using it while exercising and stretching. “We have known for years that patients who are also involved in their own recovery through exercise make much better progress than others and this is how Bacrac can help.” The equipment can help many forms of back disorders, including chronic lower back pain, occupational strains, sporting injuries, minor disc injuries and general wear and tear, such as osteo-arthritis. gloucestercitizen.co.uk/weekend gloucestershireecho.co.uk/weekend

Jason with his innovative new product – Bacrac helps patients to exercise at home
“Basically you just lie on your back, stick the Bacrac underneath and rock from side to side,” said Jason. “The important thing is getting it into the right place. “If people spend just five minutes every day doing it they will get beneficial accumulative improvement.” As well as running his osteopathy clinic at Cheltenham Osteopaths in Hatherley, Jason is also the oncall osteopath for Giffords Circus and works with athletes as well as members of the public. “I’ve been treating the bodies of performers and other people at Giffords for 10 years now and it’s a lovely part of my job,” he said. ■ To find out more about the Bacrac, contact Jason on 01242 260444.

SOME MAGIC
Simon Weaver Organic, in Upper Slaughter, is one of the finalists for the food or drink business of the year at the Taste of Gloucestershire Food and Farming Awards. SUE BRADLEY caught up with the busy farmer and cheesemaker to find out why his enterprise stands out from the herd
S
INGLE Gloucester made from the milk of cows that graze the pastures at Greystones Farm is more than just a cheese: it’s a new chapter in the history of a site that’s been producing food for more than 6,000 years. Simon Weaver Organic is one of just a handful of dairies to make the Gloucestershire delicacy, which can only be produced in its native county due to its ‘Protective Designation of Origin’ status. At the same time the Upper Slaughter-based farmer stands apart as the only cheese maker to work in partnership with the Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust on one of its nature reserves; providing the cows that play an all important role in the conservation of Greystones Farm and using their milk to create a sought-after product. Simon’s family has been farming in the Cotswolds for three generations and in the south west since the 16th century, although he’s not a man who dwells in the past. Instead he celebrates the best things that Gloucestershire’s heritage has to offer while keeping a firm grip on the latest innovations, as can be seen in the new state-of-theart ‘freedom milking’ system that he’s just installed at Greystones
24
Farm on the edge of Bourton-onthe-Water, part funded by Grundon Waste Management through the Landfill Communities Fund. This robotic device, which currently services some 60 cows, is a key element in the day-to-day conservation grazing programme at the farm that’s been drawn up to safeguard its wild flower meadows and other wildlife together with its importance as a key archaeological site dating back to Neolithic times. “There are a few robotic milkers around but ours is slightly more unusual in that we’re using it with grazing cows whereas up to now it’s been used for more intensively kept herds,” explains Simon. “It relies on the cows choosing to come in to be milked; we’re not trying to push our cows, which is why we call it freedom milking. We believe the resulting milk helps us to create great-tasting cheese.” Over the year this herd is expected to generate some 600,000 litres of milk, all of which will go towards producing organic Single Gloucester cheese at Simon’s Kirkham Farm Creamery. In time he hopes to increase the number of Gloucester Cattle on the site as part of efforts to safeguard the native breed, which was recently categorised as “vulnerable” by gloucestercitizen.co.uk/weekend gloucestershireecho.co.uk/weekend

Simon Weaver of Simon Weaver Organic Dairy
the Rare Breeds Survival Trust. “We were already making between 60,000 and 70,000 tonnes of soft cheese a year and were interested in making single Gloucester cheese,” explains Simon, who farms just over 3,000 acres in total. “The opportunity came up to work with the Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust and we came up with the idea of establishing a small dairy herd and over time focus more on building up the Gloucesters. “It’s taken us two years to get this far and I think the trust has been quite brave in getting it started. “I believe there are benefits for both of us in that we’re able to demonstrate that farming can fit in with wildlife. It’s all about working together.” Simon is especially excited by Greystone Farm’s long history of food production, a fact brought home by the discovery of two skeletons dating back to Neolithic times that were discovered during the work to build the new freedom milking parlour. “This site has been farmed for some 6,000 years and probably there’s always been dairy cattle @WeekendGlos
here,” he says. “I think it’s great to have cattle here again and be part of those 6,000 years of continuous farming. “My name is in the book now and it is my tenure that will influence the landscape here, hopefully for the good.” He’s also pleased that Greystones Farm is a nature reserve visited by hundreds of people every year and that the Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust is planning to convert unused buildings to create a ‘discovery centre’ in the future. “I’m glad to see that people are already finding the confidence to ask about what we’re doing and to look in on the robotic milker,” says Simon. “I think it’s important for people to know what’s happening.” Simon turned his hand to cheesemaking some nine years ago after finding there was little in the way of a market for the organic milk he was producing and quickly began picking up accolades, including several from the regional food group Taste of the West. “We were quite convinced that organic was the way forward,” he says. “We realised
25
that becoming a food business rather than simply producing a commodity would enable us to connect with the consumer.” Today Simon makes several different types of cheese, from Cotswold Brie to Mozzarella which he sells through farmers’ markets and delicatessens such as Hamptons in Stow-on-theWold and Toast the Cotswolds, as well as the new Gloucester Services on the M5. His products are also distributed across the county by Creed Food Service and will soon be sold online through Abel and Cole. www.simonweaver.net www.gloucestershirewildlife trust.co.uk
Gluten-free chocolate cake Ingredients
250g unsalted butter, diced 250g dark chocolate broken into pieces 5 medium eggs, separated 250g golden caster sugar 200ml crème fraiche half a punnet of Sweet Eve strawberries (hulled and chopped) a handful of BerryJewel raspberries a sprig of mint icing sugar to decorate
Method
Preheat the oven to 180C/160C fan/Gas mark 4 and line a 20cm x 10cm-deep loose-bottom cake tin. Melt the butter and chocolate in a bowl set over a pan containing a little simmering water, stirring occasionally. While the chocolate is melting, whisk the egg yolks with half the sugar in a large bowl, until pale, thickened and doubled in volume. In a separate bowl, with clean whisks, whisk the egg whites until stiff, then gradually beat in the remaining sugar, a tablespoon at a time, whisking after each addition. You should by the end have a stiff, glossy mix. Fold the melted chocolate and butter into the egg yolk and sugar mixture, followed by the egg white mix in batches. Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 60-75 minutes or until a skewer inserted at the centre comes out with just a few moist crumbs clinging to it. Leave the cake to cool in the tin. It will sink in the middle, but this is completely normal. Once the cake has cooled, remove from the tin and then spoon the crème fraiche in to fill the sunken centre of the cake. Finally pile on the Sweet Eve strawberries, BerryJewel raspberries and a few mint leaves.To finish, dust over a little icing sugar.

HE Bear of Rodborough is a bit of an iconic landmark for Stroudies. It’s a place that many of us drive past frequently, but it also offers surprisingly varied reasons to stop. We’ve visited the Bear many times for a drink in the bar or garden, but have yet to enjoy the fine dining experience at the Bear’s restaurant, The Library. That will have to wait for another occasion. We were visiting for a lunchtime break and a chance to enjoy the Bear bar menu, which also offers some great options. There are sandwiches and nibbles, but also substantial main dishes. And with only one child with us, we felt unusually civilised diners. This was a real and rare treat of a lunch for us. On this visit we chose to sit in its pretty courtyard. It was sunny and sheltered and made us feel like we were on holiday. A plate of home-baked bread, houmous and balsamic oil (£3) proved to be excellent value compared to the insubstantial platters offered elsewhere. My partner followed with the pan-fried
26
sea bass Nicoise style, fine beans, new potatoes and olives (£15.95). He was pleasantly surprised by this. Past experience has led him to cynically expect artfully arranged morsels which leave him hungry. But this combined both quality and quantity with great tasting tender fish, plus plenty of vegetables and potatoes. I was enticed by flavours rather than big plates and ordered two starters; Welsh rarebit, green leaf salad and caramelised onion chutney (£6.25) and classic chicken Caesar salad (£7.25). Both were excellent. The Welsh rarebit had that lovely depth of savoury flavour, and there were plenty of chicken, anchovies and croutons in the salad. Our daughter enjoyed the child’s fish goujons (£5.95) which were quality pieces of fish, clearly home made and also good value. Staff were friendly and efficient and made us feel welcome with our fidgety daughter. Accompanied by a glass of Pinot Grigio, this was a lovely and relaxing lunch.

THERE will be no shortage of expert advice at this year’s Malvern Autumn Show with some of the top names in gardening appearing in the Good Life Pavilion. Heading the list will be Gardeners’ World anchorman Monty Don who will be at the show on Sunday. The renowned writer and presenter will be talking to Joe Swift about all things horticultural. Monty, who is president of the Soil Association, believes gardening is vital on any scale. “The real importance of gardening is the empowerment that it gives people, however small or seemingly insignificant their gardens might be. It is surprising how liberating it is if you can grow anything at all – and there is as much pleasure in a snowdrop as in a successful career.” Chelsea gold medal winner Joe, who also appears regularly on Gardeners’ World, will be at the show on both days, including hosting a question and answer session with Caroline Tatham from Cotswold Gardening School and taking part in a garland-making demonstration. And those who prefer edibles rather than ornamentals will be able to get tips from writer Mark Dianco, who grows unusual and forgotten food at his Devon smallholding Otter Farm, and on Saturday morning, from Jim Buttress from BBC2’s’ The Big Allotment Challenge.
F
ROM plants and bulbs to seed labels and gloves, the Malvern Autumn Show is a one stop shop for gardeners. Leading nurseries from across the country and well-known tool firms will be on hand to offer advice and help fill gaps in both borders and potting sheds. With the harvest season well underway, the emphasis is on edible gardening with giant vegetables, expert advice and a chance to taste the best of the season. “The passion for ‘grow your own’ is as popular now as it was a few years ago” says Sharon Gilbert, communications manager for the show. “I think people like to know where their food comes from, and there is something quite satisfying about cooking with produce you have sown, grown and harvested yourself.” Regional food and drink will be on sale and there will be a taste of the past in the vintage tearoom, while the Vintage Pavilion will feature a nostalgic trip for shoppers. Other attractions at the two-day event include dog agility, floral art and poultry competitions and a BMX stunt team. “The Malvern Autumn Show is always a hit with visitors,” says Sharon, “partly because autumn is such a wonderful, colourful time of the year and because there really is something to entertain all ages and interests. It’s a great day out for the whole family.”

PUPILS from across the three counties will be showing off their gardening skills at Malvern in a competition to fill a trug with their produce. Youngsters will be gathering in the harvest from their school gardens and displaying it for the judges at the show. At Alderman Knight Special School inTewkesbury pupils have a kitchen garden and flower garden that are used by the lunchtime gardening club and for lessons. Teaching assistant Caroline Simon said crops this year included potatoes, carrots, apples, rhubarb and strawberries while the flower garden was filled with wild flowers. “We had red campion, ox-eyed daises and lots of grasses.” The gardens are popular with the pupils aged five to 16 and have been used as a therapeutic space by the school.

I
n a break with the past, there will be no garden design competition at the Malvern Autumn Show this year but still plenty of inspiration with three feature gardens. Visitors to next weekend’s show at the Three Counties Showground, near Malvern, will be able to garner ideas
on vegetables, roses and growing through the seasons with a trio of varied plots in the Good Life Pavilion. “We had the Edible Gardens for about six years and wanted to bring in something fresh,” explains Nina Acton, show development officer. Caroline Tatham, who runs the Cotswold Gardening School at her home in Gossington, is hoping to reshape our view of autumn as the time to plant and plan rather than the end of the gardening year. “A lot of people think autumn is just
32
about produce or putting the garden to bed. I’m saying autumn is the beginning and not the end. The garden requires us to reform our perception of what is beautiful.” Her garden, ‘A Brave New World of Beauty’, is in three parts: at the rear will be a mix of fiery autumn colours with bronze carex, acers and purple heuchera making a dramatic statement; the middle will feature glass panels with frosted foliage and seed heads etched on them while the planting will be spikey and white; at the front, spring will be represented by a wildflower meadow. “Because it’s not going to be picked over by the judges, it’s given me the freedom to create something very exciting.” While Caroline will not be facing the RHS judges, the project is not without its challenges as the garden will be dismantled and rebuilt at the Cheltenham Literature Festival.
“It’s got to look good for two weeks,” explains Caroline. Pupils from her school will take part in a class on the garden on October 9 to coincide with a talk by Alan Titchmarsh. David Austin roses will feature in a garden by Caspian Robertson and Daniela Krasnanova. ‘Scattered Roses’ is a celebration of the life and music of the great Sir John Tavener and is designed around a water feature with a spiral path leading through fragrant roses and herbs. Meanwhile, Pennard Plants’ garden, which forms part of the nursery’s trade stand and will be judged along with other stands as part of the RHS flower show, is productive and beautiful with fruit trees, vegetables and flowering plants. “Their Chelsea stand was absolutely amazing and we wanted them to do something similar at Malvern,” says Nina.

NURSERY KNOW-HOW AN unusual euphorbia with variegated foliage will take centre stage on Newent Plant Centre’s Malvern stand.
Euphorbia characias
‘Glacier Blue’ has glaucous leaves with a white edge and is expected to prove a hit with visitors. The nursery is just one of dozens from across the country who will be offering unusual plants and specialist advice in the RHS Flower Show. Others include Fibrex Nurseries, from Pebworth, pictured below, with a selection of ferns and ivies and Pershore’s Green JJam Nurseries, with its National Collection of Penstemon. Other stands will exhibit everything from grasses and bulbs to climbers. Mark Moir, who runs the Newent nursery with Kate Clowes, is also planning to show heucheras, achilleas, pulmonarias and pittosporum; the latter is regaining popularity thanks to our mild winters. He explained that autumn was the ideal time to plant: “The top of the plant has stopped growing but the roots keep growing up to Christmas. We’ve had some rain and cool mornings but the soil is still warm. “Planting now will save a lot of watering next summer because the plants will have already got themselves established.”

ROWING your own has never been more popular and Malvern is packed with tips and ideas to make your plot productive. Experts will be giving talks and demonstrations on everything from producing vegetables in containers and making compost to pruning fruit trees and showing fruit and veg, while celebrity growers Mark Diacano, former head gardener at River Cottage, and The Big Allotment Challenge’s Jim Buttress will be sharing their wisdom. A feature garden by Chelsea medalists Pennard Plants, who specialise in heritage and heirloom varieties, will show how a kitchen
34
garden can be beautiful as well as productive, while the Orchard Pavilion will celebrate traditional and modern orchards with stands selling apples, fruit trees and preserves. Inspiration can be found in the Harvest Pavilion where amateur gardeners will compete in a range of classes for plants and vegetables, including filling a trug with their haul for the national championships. Malvern is also the home of the UK National Giant Vegetables Championship and the stands will be groaning under the weight of mammoth leeks, parsnips and onions. New this year are classes for the heaviest cucumber and the world’s largest vegetable soup
collection and there will also be contests for the longest runner bean and heaviest pumpkin. “Giant vegetables have long been a source of fascination to the general public,” says Sharon Gilbert, communications manager for the show. “And now that the UK National Giant Vegetables Championship is at Malvern, we can treat our visitors to an unrivalled display of the very best. “There is something truly captivating about mammoth versions of the everyday vegetables we serve on our plates, and people love to talk to the growers who are passionate about their endeavours.”

HAT is the first thing you do after staying in a chic boutique hotel? Often search high and low for similar stylish decor to recreate the relaxing atmosphere in your own home. Interior designers Jonathan Sellwood and Jonathan Parkin have expert knowledge in both areas, having furnished their boutique B&B, Thirty
Two Imperial Square in Cheltenham, with impeccable taste and have now opened a showroom in Winchcombe selling a collection of products for the home. The duo decided to sell their hotel to focus on their new business, Barnbury, which opened earlier this year. Both have extensive experience in the interior design industry – Jonathan Parkin established his own interior design company in London in 2002. Prior to that he worked at Design Centre Chelsea
36
Harbour and his business partner ran one of London’s most exclusive fabric houses. Whilst running Thirty Two they had a small number of pieces on show which guests could buy and the dream was always to open a much larger showroom. After failing to find suitable premises in Cheltenham, they started looking further afield last summer and came across The Sun Inn, in Winchcombe’s North Street, which was up for sale and were impressed with how the 17th century space could really work for them. The pair have transformed what was the skittle alley
into an art gallery, with the help of Ian James who used to run Martins Gallery in Cheltenham. The next exhibition features a selection of Matisse lithographs and runs from October 3 until November 15. The remaining space is used to display furniture, fabrics, wallpapers, home fragrances, tableware and gifts from around the world. “We had six brilliant years but it was good to get out at the top of our game,” says Jonathan Sellwood about Thirty Two, which received a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence and featured in the Mr & Mrs Smith hotel collection. “We wanted our lives back, hotels are all encompassing. “We had really good corporate business in the week and then for the weekend everyone would start arriving on the Friday. We never had time off.” One of the first things the couple did when they sold the property in Imperial Square was to go on gloucestercitizen.co.uk/weekend gloucestershireecho.co.uk/weekend

a very long holiday. They returned to Coates Mill Cottage in Winchcombe, which they bought when they first moved out of London and now run as a holiday let, before moving in above the new Barnbury showroom which they have totally transformed since its days as a pub. The duo describe their taste as ‘quintessentially British style with a touch of Hollywood luxe’. The showroom sells everything from statement glass vases and throws to wardrobes and chairs from the Thirties, Forties and Fifties. Visitors have included Henry Dent-Brocklehurst from Sudeley Castle. “We’re always sourcing lots more pieces which is really exciting,” says Jonathan Sellwood, who recently worked on the interior of Lumiere restaurant in Cheltenham. “We’ve got a trip booked in January to Brazil and will be going back to India, South Africa and are going to Paris in January as well for a big fair. We go all over. @WeekendGlos
“London is a great source too.” Barnbury is gearing up for Christmas and late night shopping. It sells a range of accessories for men and women, including leather and gold cuffs and boxed cufflinks. Giftware includes William Yeoward Crystal from the King’s Road in Chelsea and Cire Trudon candles from Paris. As well as running the showroom and an online shop, Barnbury also offers a bespoke interior design service. They are currently working on properties in Painswick and Wellington Square. Although Jonathan admits they do miss the buzz of living in Cheltenham, they are both enjoying their new laid-back lifestyle which includes getting on well with their new neighbours at Emporium and Food Fanatics, and visiting The Lion Inn and 5 North Street. “There is always something going on,” Jonathan says. “It’s a really great little town.” For more details, visit www. barnbury.com

The latest from
green door I
t looks like any other property in a row of terrace homes. But this 1880s threebedroom house has been transformed inside and out into a sustainable environment that would stir envy within the greenest of people. Walk into the late Victorian solid wall conversion and you are comforted by its clean air and perfect temperature. Peter Clegg, of Cheltenham Green Doors, began converting the house in 2005. There was damp in the walls and floor and the property, on Oakfield Street in Tivoli, was in need of a complete transformation. Mr Clegg said: “We had to do everything, so we thought how ecofriendly can we make it? The cost, the structure was already there. It’s not right to knock down these types of properties and build again elsewhere.” The huge project means Peter is saving more money than he is spending on household bills every day and he monitors the figures daily.
The solid wall construction boasts a slate roof with an open fireplace in every room. The front of the house is rendered and the back is red brick with breathable lime mortar. The interior consists of suspended wooden floors, the walls are lime plastered with decorative mouldings and picture rails. Other features include double-glazed original wooden sash windows, high levels of insulation throughout the house, positive input ventilation, LED and low energy lighting and rainwater storage butts. Peter added: “When people buy a property they often look at the kitchen and bathroom. They don’t realise the energy-saving appliances you can buy.” A beautiful garden sits out the back with vegetable patches, an impressive water feature, a beehive and wormery. Recent additions include 13 solar electricity panels on the home’s slate roof. The public can view the house for themselves during the Cheltenham Green Doors fourth annual open weekend It will be open to the public
on Sunday from 10.30am to 4pm. The Cheltenham Green Doors group consists of homeowners from Cheltenham and Bishop’s Cleeve who promote a more sustainable approach to everyday life. The open weekend allows those interested a chance to view 28 transformed and new homes and ask questions. Guests can see solar hot water panels, air and water source heat pumps, computer-controlled radiators, LED lighting and sustainable gardens. For a map of the homes on display, see Thursday’s Echo Homebuyer section and visit cheltenhamgreendoors.org.uk for more information.
Cheltenham Green Doors’ open weekend, which is free, takes place on September 20 and 21. For more, visit cheltenhamgreendoors.org.uk.

Antiques & Auctions The perfect portrait
Portrait of William Lethbridge – thought to be one of the finest works by artist Ferderick Sandys
THIS portrait is the highlight of paintings from the WH Smith Archive, for sale at Chorley’s, Prinknash Abbey Park, on Wednesday. It shows William Lethbridge (18251901), who became a partner of WH Smith in 1862, the first person outside the Smith family to attain this status. He was also president of the North Western Coal and Navigation Company in Canada and in 1885 the town of Coalbanks in Alberta changed its name to Lethbridge in his honour. The painting is by Frederick Sandys (1829-1904) and is acknowledged as a fine example of his work. He studied at the Royal Academy under George Richmond and Samuel Lawrence, who taught him to draw in chalk. He became acquainted with the pre-Raphaelite artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti in 1857 when he approached him for help with an engraving and
became a member of Pre-Raphaelite circles. The painting is expected to sell for between £3,000-£4,000. The collection also includes a group of watercolour vignettes by John Stanton Ward showing members of the board and staff of WH Smith at work in the 1970s. There is also a colourful selection of paintings by Peter Dooner, a member of WH Smith’s advertising department, which illustrate the various modes of transport used to transport newspapers around the country in the 1940s. The most impressive paintings are two large views of London at the beginning of the 20th century. Stunning jewellery is also included in the sale, many from the Victorian and Edwardian period with an interesting selection of amber. Two exceptional diamond single stone solitaire rings are expected to fetch £10,000-£15,000 each.
This pretty Victorian locket will cost £4,000-£6,000, while the champagne diamond ring, with an oval-shaped stone could be yours for £10,000-£15,000

T’S GOING to be a busy autumn and winter at Stroud Auction Rooms. Increasingly popular with buyers and sellers across the globe, goods have been already been consigned for the November, December and January auctions with some items already earmarked well into 2015. The next sale is October 8-9 when Asian and tribal art, textiles, toys, musical instruments, books and ephemera are being highlighted. Would-be vendors are encouraged to get their items in as quickly as possible. “Items need to be with us as early as possible,” says owner and auctioneer Nick Bowkett. “It doesn’t matter if they arrive months ahead of their intended sale.” A recent auction saw fabulous jewellery selling well. Top lot was a 18ct white gold 2.2ct solitaire diamond ring which caused something of a bidding war and eventually went under the hammer for £9,000. An early 20th century designer stick pin in the form of a diamondencrusted tree with an enamelled black cat looking up at a jewelled bird went for £4,000. A brooch with a 2.2ct old brilliant cut diamond surrounded by sapphires fetched @WeekendGlos
£3,100, an 18ct white gold necklace set with diamonds went for £2,000 and an 18ct gold ring set with three diamonds sold for £1,800. Much of the success was due to jewellery specialist Alexandra Bowkett, who spent many hours researching, cataloguing and photographing the lots. Perhaps the most interesting lot was an Elizabeth I hallmarked silver seal top spoon (London 1559) made by William Cawdell, which valuer Mark Rozelaar pulled out of a box of general items and which sold for £1,800.

OUT OFTHE
woods If holidays mean self-catering family adventures, look no further than the beautiful New Forest, says LUCY PARFORD
NEW FOREST
M
Y sister and I share many happy family memories of the New Forest – cakes and picnics by the riverside, paddling in streams and pictures of us in lovely Seventies outfits next to the wild ponies. When we were little we used to live in Southampton when the New Forest was tantalisingly close for impromptu days out. Now both parents ourselves and living in different parts of the country, the New Forest seems even more of a magical place. The last time I visited with my husband we stayed in a grand country house hotel. With a threeyear-old daughter now in tow formal dinners and luxurious lie-ins are strictly a thing of the past. So this time we packed up the car and headed for our accommodation for the weekend – a holiday village just outside the pretty town of Fordingbridge. Sandyballs has been welcoming families for nearly 100 years and offers everything from camping pitches to premium lodges. We were staying in a pine lodge which @WeekendGlos
Where to stay: Sandyballs, lives up to its name complete with pine table and chairs in the kitchen and pine beds and side tables in the two bedrooms. Outside each lodge there is a picnic table and barbecue under the trees to enjoy life alfresco. We were staying for three days and there was plenty to cram in. The resort has a leisure club, cycle centre, restaurants and a range of activities for little ones from arts and crafts to table tennis. There is even a resident of Sandyballs who will let you into her garden to see the nightly visits of a family of badgers. As the weather was fine, we decided to hire bikes and set out to explore our surroundings. Staff at the Cycle Centre helpfully kitted us out with everything we needed including mountain bikes and a trailer. They also have maps of various routes you can take straight from the site. On our family ride we took in stunning viewpoints, country pubs and winding country lanes. By the time we did come across the famous ponies grazing on a common, our daughter had dutifully fallen asleep.

Luckily, at a pit stop at The Foresters Arms, at Frogham, half a dozen wild donkeys had congregated which more than made up for it. The pub is a great spot for a grown-up dinner, or if you don’t mind the melee, Pizza in the Piazza back at the holiday village serves good value pasta, pizza and salads. For the rest of the weekend we joined well-organised groups for pond dipping and bug hunting in the meadow capturing crickets, caterpillars and spiders. Swimming though was a bit of a disappointment as we were told to book a specific time slot, only for us to be ordered out of the pool after only five minutes as there was a problem with the chlorine level. Still, it didn’t seem to faze our daughter too much – she was more than happy collecting pine cones outside our lodge, playing in the adventure playground and sharing a picnic at one of the New Forest’s many beauty spots. After all, the best things in life are free.
Stunning wildlife photographs from both amateur and professional photographers are on show at Nature in Art, near Gloucester. HELEN BLOW picks out some of the best
CALL OF THE

IRDS, beasts and bugs all take centre stage at this year’s stunning collection of images celebrating the best of British wildlife. From a ladybird in flight to a wallowing seal and the proud figure of a stag in silhouette, the 2014 British Wildlife Photography Awards aim to enthral and enchant. On show for two months at Nature in Art in Twigworth, the exhibition features category winners and highly commended entries. Now in its sixth year, the awards increase in popularity every year and now 100 images are displayed, taken by both amateur and professional photographers. Uniquely British, they were created to celebrate the talents of both amateur and professional photographers while highlighting the wealth of British natural history. Sarah George, from Nature in Art, said: “It is always a pleasure to see the breadth of British wildlife captured by these photographers when their images adorn the walls at Nature in Art. “These awards have gone from strength to strength and never fail to impress our visitors as well as those across the nation.” Last year more than 3,000 visitors came to see the photographs and Sarah said they hoped to exceed that number this time. The winning images are chosen as part of several separate categories which showcase an array of habitats and wildlife including portraits, season,
habitat, behaviour, black and white, urban and wild woods. There are also two junior categories which aim to encourage younger generations to appreciate and connect with nature through photography. This year the overall winning shot was taken by Lee Acaster for The Tourist, his image of a Greylag Goose in London. Judge Mark Ward, Editor-inChief, at RSPB Nature’s Home Magazine, said: “The winning photograph shows a familiar bird in a familiar setting, but the visual impact is extraordinary. “The stormy, brooding backdrop sets a dramatic scene, while the orange and pink from the bird bring vibrancy to the monochromatic cityscape. “Lee’s stunning photograph proves you do not have to travel far from home to capture the very best of Britain’s wildlife images,”
54
added Mark, who had to sift through thousands of entries with his fellow judges. Naturalist and TV presenter Chris Packham said: “Each year the British Wildlife Photography Awards generate an incredible catalogue of splendid, exciting, imaginative and artistic images, proving beyond doubt that we have the richest palette of life to celebrate in our own backyard. “Anyone passionate about protecting and preserving wildlife will be inspired by these awards, which has done more than any other award to raise the profile of British wildlife.” ■ The exhibition continues at the Twigworth gallery until November 16. ■ Nature in Art is open from Tuesday to Sunday, 10am to 5pm. Entrance costs £5.25 for adults and £4.75 concessions. gloucestercitizen.co.uk/weekend gloucestershireecho.co.uk/weekend

Mercury
IS RISING
How do you find someone to fill the shoes of the great Freddie Mercury? Queen drummer Roger Taylor talks to The Buzz about preserving the legacy of his best friend
A
S the drummer, songwriter and singer in Queen, Roger Taylor is part of one of the biggest rock groups in music history. Alongside Freddie Mercury, Brian May and John Deacon, the band released a total of 18 number one albums, 18 number one singles and 10 number one DVDs with more than 300 million records worldwide. Now Roger Taylor has taken the Queen brand in a new direction, with the formation of his own tribute band, Queen Extravaganza. “There are so many of these bands,” Roger says. “There are ABBA ones and Led Zeppelin ones and I don’t know how many Pink Floyds there are now. “Of the Queen tributes, some of them are very funny and some of them are really not funny at all. “The terrible ones are cheesy and panto-like, more about dressing up in a Brian May wig and a Freddie Mercury moustache “It’s flattering on one level because imitation is a form of flattery, but when they’re not doing it very well it’s a bit distressing.” Having witnessed how bad tribute bands can be, Roger decided that it was time to create a Queen tribute band that was worthy of the legendary name and music catalogue. “It set me thinking how much better it would be if I could get a band together that could deliver Queen hits such as Bohemian Rhapsody, Another One Bites The Dust and A Kind Of Magic,” he recalls. “So I set about conducting an online
audition process in North America. “Once the applicants came forward, fans were invited to vote for those they liked. “A young French Canadian singer emerged called Marc Martel, whose vocal resemblance to Freddie was so strong that his audition clip got more than eight million hits on YouTube. “He was good enough to build a band around and The Queen Extravaganza, as they are called, performed on the final of American Idol in 2012 before touring North America.” Once the band was formed, the hard work really began. “I spent some weeks with them in Canada rehearsing, but they’ve found out what works and what they’re good at – they’ve got some brilliant arrangements of a lot of our old stuff and I’ve sort of let them get on with it now. “It’s great – I just go and see them occasionally and they’re wonderful.” The music of Queen has been used to great success with the Ben Elton written show, We Will Rock You, performed to more than 15 million since it opened. Another project Roger is pleased to be involved in is the film biopic of former Queen frontman Freddie Mercury, who died in 1991 aged 45. “This one does seem to be taking an awfully long time to come together,” says Roger who is musical director alongside Brian May. But he is very satisfied with the casting of Ben Wishaw as Mercury. “He’s an absolutely fantastic actor,” he says. “We want someone playing
58
Freddie who is credible and will do him justice. “We were very keen on Sacha Baron Cohen at one point and then we weren’t so keen at another point. “We didn’t want to make a comedy as we take Freddie’s legacy very seriously and I’m not sure he would have done that.” As for whether an actor has been cast yet to play himself, he says: “I try to keep at arm’s length because you can’t really make a film that you’re portrayed in and be closely involved. “I think for Brian and me, our main job once all the ducks are in line is to make sure the music is great.” It’s now nearly a quarter of a century since Mercury’s death but Taylor still thinks of him incredibly fondly. “We became closer and closer at the end of Freddie’s life and I think we were co-dependent in many ways. “Freddie was my best friend. “We stuck together for an awfully long time and I think we all felt we needed one another.” What makes Freddie’s death all the more painful is that if he’d lived a couple more years then he would have benefited from the breakthrough in HIV treatment and might have been saved. “It was considered an incurable thing at the time and I guess it was, then. It was a horrible period, just horrendous for us to lose one of our family.” Queen Extravaganza is at Cheltenham Town Hall from 7.30pm on Monday. Tickets cost £26.

After splitting in 2007 – with Paul Heaton famously citing “musical similarities” – several members of the band got back together two years later. As well as Beautiful South classics such as Perfect 10 and Don’t Marry Her, the band also have plenty of new material with new album, Sweet Refrains. “We were never going to make a rap album,” singer Alison Wheeler says who joined the line-up in 2003. “I think we’ve found a good balance. It’s an open door policy and anyone can bring anything to the table.” Tickets for the 8pm gig on Thursday cost £20 each. Call 01452 503050 or visit www.gloucester.gov.uk

THE
final word COLUMNIST SALI GREEN
I
T’S the weekend again, how quickly did that week go?! I’d like to relate to you our experience at The Big Feastival a couple of weeks ago. Having done several flyering missions for organisers Taste Festivals, some of our team were invited as guests to the event and we were excited about this. We decided it was best to be prepared for every eventuality so we packed our cars almost up to the roof with duvets, blow-up mattresses, jackets, spare jackets, padded gilets, Onesies, booze, torches, large tent (important), wellies, sandals, clothes, bunting and also remembered our festival passes. Things were going well. Upon reaching the site which is on Alex James’ Cotswold farm, after a very wide detour following signs because the villagers didn’t want tourists travelling through their villages, we discovered that the car park was some way from the camping fields. Pull-along trucks were available for hire if you put down a cash deposit and if you could get it back within a strict timescale. We ummed and ahhhhed about this, then Jo forked out the cash, saying there was no way she would be able to carry the contents of her car to the camping area even within about 10 journeys. So we hired our trolley from a man called Sausage and piled all our belongings on to it. It looked quite a sight with our garish duvets and bright wellies poking out, and was worryingly wobbly. Sausage stood back a while seeing how long it would take us to work out that there were strong stretchy straps supplied with the trolley with which we could strap down our leaning tower of regalia. A kind fellow festival-goer gave us a valuable piece of advice en route to the camping field: “Don’t faff around finding a good place to pitch your tent. As soon as you see a space, take it!” We heeded this and found a spot just large enough in between a fast growing community of campers. Behind us was a nice friendly Northern couple, to the side a Welsh family who didn’t speak to us and in front some Southerners with a crying baby.

We missed the first band we really came to see (Soul II Soul) whilst erecting the tent. We missed the other band on our wish list, a Fleetwood Mac tribute, whilst blowing up the mattresses. And we missed most of the ABBA tribute band Bjorn Again whilst having a much deserved rum and coke and deciding what to wear. Nicky had brought an authentic Native American headdress so we took some photos wearing it in the spotless VIP loos and generally made a minor nuisance of ourselves and had a great time. Yet again I’m out of space but my dad found it amusing that we missed all the bands on the first night and thought I ought to share the story. Perhaps if you are hitting a festival next year you will learn from our mistakes and get there with plenty of time to establish your living quarters and get to see some live music, rather than just hearing the echoes of it across a distant field.

my ideal
What would you eat?
Smoked salmon and scrambled egg for brunch and sea bass for supper.
What would you drink?
A perfectly chilled New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc.
WEEKEND...
What music would you listen to?
I love music – swing, Motown, African and a bit of popular stuff too so Mango Groove, Caro Emerald, Olly Murs, Dean Martin and Robbie Williams would all feature.
If you could invite anyone for a dinner party, dead or alive, who would you invite?
DR DAWN HARPER
If it wasn’t the obvious Nelson Mandela it would be Michael Parkinson, mainly because he has interviewed anyone else I would like to invite.
Doctor andTV presenter How would you describe your ideal weekend?
It would be at home in the Cotswolds with no alarm clocks. In the summer it would involve a barbecue and in the winter a roaring log fire and lots of music, a walk with my dog and a couple of 20-mile cycle rides through our beautiful countryside. Then a glass of wine in the sun at the village pub and friends for supper on Saturday night.
Who would you spend it with?
Good friends, family and my fabulous yellow Lab, Otter.
Would you watch TV?
I tend not to watch muchTV, but rather aptly my favourite TV show is Strictly Come Dancing so that’s definitely on the agenda.
If you could go anywhere for the weekend, where would you go?
I travel so much with work that my perfect weekend is just staying home, but if I was to go anywhere it would be to CapeTown. Nelson Mandela is my all-time superhero. How anyone can spend 27 years in captivity, remain physically and mentally fit and come out without bitterness is just mind blowing. What an incredible human being. I have tried to go to Robben Island before and unfortunately the ferries were on strike so I would love to go back and see where the great man spent so much of his life and if I could tie it in with going to a live concert of African music, I would be in seventh heaven.
