The Good Life

Mick Fleetwood has been a member of the ever-evolving Fleetwood Mac, one of the world’s most successful and adored bands, for over four decades. Here he tells the full and candid story of his life as one of music’s greatest drummers and band leaders, the co-founder of the deeply loved super group that bears his name along with his band mate and lifelong friend John McVie.

Martina Cole Cain Moran wanted Jenny Riley more than he had ever wanted anyone or anything before in his life. But loving Jenny Riley was the easy part; it was telling his wife he wanted a divorce that was going to be the killer...Jenny is not just any girl. She cares nothing for Cain’s hard-man reputation she just wants to be with him.

But Cain is not a free man. And he’s about to find out that when his wife Caroline said ‘til death us do part, she meant it. When Cain is sentenced to life in prison it seems that Caroline might have got her wish. All Cain and Jenny know is that if their love can survive such separation, then one day they will have a chance at the Good Life together again. But there are greater trials ahead than either can foresee. They’re about to learn the hardest lesson of all: LIVE THE GOOD LIFE. PAY THE PRICE.

Play On Mick Fleetwood & Anthony Bozza “After forty-six years of being on the road, now is the right time to look back in a way I’ve never done before: now and then. I’m looking forward to sharing it with you.”

In this intimate portrait of a life lived in music, Fleetwood vividly recalls his upbringing tapping along to every song playing on the radio; his experiences as a musician in Sixties London and the earliest permutation of the band featuring Peter Green.

Play On sheds new light on Fleetwood Mac’s raucous history, describing the highs and lows of being in the band that Fleetwood was determined to keep together. Here he reflects on the creation of landmark albums like Rumours and Tusk, the great loves of his life, and the many incredible and outrageous moments of recording, touring and living with Fleetwood Mac. Fleetwood describes these moments with honesty and immediacy, taking us to the very heart of this multi-layered journey that has always been anchored in music. Through it all, from intense love to plaintive heartaches, from collaborations to confrontations, it’s been the drive to play on that has prevailed. Now, then, and always, it’s Fleetwood Mac.

Make 2015 the year you DO keep that resolution!

Y

ou know the one – ‘lose weight, feel fitter, get into those clothes at the back of the wardrobe’.

So many women want to do just that, but get discouraged.

Who wants to spend hours at classes? Don’t those personal trainers shout at you? And who can get excited about eating lettuce?

Well, Curves is different. A workout takes 30 minutes, and happens at a time you choose, not dictated by a class. No one will shout at you, but there is a cunning gadget that glows green if you have hit your personal target, so you do know that you are improving. It even tells you how many calories you have burned up that day.

If you wish, you can sign up for the Curves Complete eating plan which is tailored to your personal preferences. Salmon and Ginger fishcakes, Chicken Pasta Primavera or Spicy Beef stir fry don’t sound too bad, do they? Particularly on a meal plan that recommends three meals and two extra snacks every day.

Even if you have not taken exercise for decades, this could be for you.

You will be surprised at the range of women you will find at Curves – from super fit youngsters to ladies who will not see 70 again. The equipment is really easy to use, and adapts to the needs of different abilities.

Curves welcomes women in to have a look round, and you can bring a friend for moral support if you like.

You will get the chance to try a few machines. There’s no scary hard sell, just trained coaches who are there to help you get the results you know you want.

Curves - No men, no mirrors, just results.

WINTER GARDENING - WITH WOODBOROUGH GARDEN CENTRE

A

t this time of the year, some plants that can be overlooked in summer, come into their own. Coloured stems of Cornus (dogwoods) and Salix (willows) look superb in the winter sunshine on a crisp day. The berries of Cotoneaster (a brilliant bee-plant, by the way), persist well, probably better than most and on the treelike proportions of Cotoneaster cornubia, look stunning.

Other plants offer us scent in the form of flowers held along leafless stems. Such glories as the under-used Chimonanthus praecox (Wintersweet), Lonicera x purpusii and fragrantissima, Viburnum x bodnantense ‘Dawn’ and ‘Charles Lamont’ are seriously good additions to the winter garden. Just cut a few stems and bring them into the house – miles better than those things concocted in laboratories and factories!

Scent also comes in the shape of the prepared Hyacinths given as gifts in baskets over the Christmas period. These are exactly the same bulb as the garden/ bedding Hyacinths that normally bloom in March, except that they have been temperature-treated to force them into flower earlier than they normally would.

This means that you can plant them out in the garden once they have gone over as a houseplant, and they will revert to their normal flowering period.

There is still plenty of time to get barerooted things into the ground as well – such

things as deciduous trees, hedging, soft fruit and roses. The only proviso is to stay off the soil if it is too wet to work properly as you will do damage to its structure. If bare-root stuff arrives in the post and you are not able to plant it immediately, pop it in a bucket of water for a day or two and then either whack it in a pot of compost or heel it in a part of the garden that may not be the chosen planting place, but is at least accessible.

You can lift it out to plant properly at a later time.

If you didn’t get around to buying dry bulbs for a spring show then you will be able to pick up ready-potted ones such as Crocus and Snowdrops. Obviously, buying them like this will cost you more money but if you want to perk up a couple of winter pots then they are ideal. A mention of pansies here – they often get fungal leaf spots as well and there is no cure. Simply pick off the worst leaves or if the whole plant is looking sickly, hoik it out and pop in some of those bulbs instead.

On the subject of bulbs, I think that buying Snowdrops ‘in-the-green’ is by far the most efficient way to grow them. You can order them by the 10’s – personally, I order by the 100’s! They will come through the post once they have flowered and been lifted by the growers and will need to be planted right away. Growers advertise online and in gardening magazines. Don’t be mean with them – a drift is the look to go for rather than ‘hunt the snowdrop’! Woodborough Garden Centre will also be having some again this year – they are in bundles of 25 but you’ll need to be quick!

Food & Drink

Pot ato Da u p hin oi se INGREDIENTS 1 kg/2lb 4oz baking potatoes peeled 3-4 cloves garlic 500ml/17½fl oz double cream salt and freshly ground black pepper METHOD 1. Preheat the oven to 160C/320F/Gas 2.

2. Slice the potatoes into thin slices, about 3mm/⅛in thick. Place the slices into a bowl as you cut them.

3. Trim the ends off the garlic cloves but don’t peel. Grate the cloves on a grater. The flesh will go through the fine holes and the skins will be left behind. Scrape the grated garlic flesh into the bowl with the potatoes.

4. Season the potatoes, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

5. Pour the cream over the potatoes and mix well again.

6. Place the potato slices into the gratin dish. They should come to just below the top of the dish. Press the potato down with the back of a spoon or your hands so it forms a solid layer. The cream should come to just below the top layer of potato (top up with more double cream if necessary).

7. Place the potatoes in the oven and bake for 1-1½ hours, or until the potatoes are completely tender. (If the cream looks like it’s splitting, your oven is too hot, so turn it down a bit.)

8. Serve the dauphinoise as a side dish to roasted meat or poultry.

1 SPICE

A

n authentic dining experience: 1 Spice offers diners a new take on Indian food, mixing the flavours and spices of India with the finest seasonal ingredients. 1spice is a contemporary Indian restaurant in the heart of Devizes. Their menu has all the old favourites plus a wide range of more unusual, regional dishes.

They have a private room for parties and special occasions.

They can also arrange traditional Indian entertainment or whatever you would prefer for your party or outside event.

They want you to have a great time so just let them know your ideas, so that they can tailor your event to meet your needs and requirements.

Indian and Bangladeshi cuisine demands a perfect understanding of spices. Spicy needn’t mean hot. Soft and subtle flavours are infused into their dishes giving authentic, exciting flavours suited to you.

ack Spratt is now established at 40 Market Place Devizes (next door to Lloyds Bank) after many years in the High Street. They provide high quality sandwiches downstairs the BLT being a particular favourite of mine. Upstairs with a wonderful view of the Market Place is ‘Upstairs at Jacks Coffee bar’ which provides coffee and sandwiches in a convivial atmosphere by day and in the evening it is transformed into Upstairs at Jacks Tapas and Wine Bar every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night.
