LOVE IS ALL AROUND LOVE SAVES THE DAY RETURNS TO EASTVILLE PARK THIS WEEKEND, HERE’S A FEW THINGS AWAY FROM THE MAIN STAGE NOT TO MISS

F

ollowing the horrific events of the Manchester Arena attack, organisers of Love Saves The Day have confirmed the festival will go ahead as planned and say audience safety is paramount.

Organisers say they are working with police and have robust plans to make sure the festival runs safely and brings some much-needed love and fun to thousands of people heading to Eastville Park.

The festival will be headlined by Grammy-nominated Little Dragon on the Saturday night. Other acts on the bill for the first day include Mura Masa, Nao and Crazy P. On the Sunday, world-class dub-reggae band Fat Freddy’s Drop top the bill, supported

by Kate Tempest, Shy FX and Kano.

However, away from the main stages there are some weird and wonderful things going on. Here are a few to check out: ENTER THE RING FOR A BOUT OF EPIC PROPORTIONS This is a boxing ring like no other – mainly because you’re throwing shapes instead of punches. The Dance-Off crew will be hosting dance battles, duels and stand-offs throughout the weekend and if you’re feeling really brave, you can even take to the ring yourself – but be warned, competition is fierce.

EAT YOUR WAY AROUND THE WORLD There’s an incredible selection of street food from some of Bristol’s best-known eateries to feast on this year – the likes of Biblos, Gopal’s Curry Shack, Al-Mac and Bagel Boy will all be making an appearance.

DISCOVER A LOST TRIBE DEVOTED TO DANCE MUSIC

The Lost Gardens is a new festival area for 2017 and it’s promising some seriously cool things. You’ll be able to explore a lost civilisation devoted to dance music and if you’re quick, you’ll even spot dance battles taking place between two rival tribal factions.

locks inspired by your favourite musical legend – no matter how outlandish their look.

If you feel like taking the rock star vibe one step further, you can also perform on stage at Horsebox Karaoke. It’s conveniently located next to the Cocktail Caravan, so if you’re in need of Dutch courage, you can find it in abundance.

CONQUER THE BRYSTAL MAZE The Brystal Maze has been the stuff of legend on Bristol’s streets for years now – so it’s only fitting festival-goers can enjoy a piece of the action, too.

The cult treasure hunt will see teams race against the clock to complete the Brystal Maze across the festival site, with the chance to win entry to a hidden after-party.

GET MARRIED AT THE INFLATABLE CHURCH This is quite possibly the un-holiest of matrimonies, but it sure sounds like fun. You can tie the knot with your dearly beloved (or a total stranger, we’re not judging) inside the festival’s Inflatable Church. Of course, the ceremony won’t actually be legally binding, but those memories will still last a lifetime.

TRY NOT TO FALL OVER AT THE ROLLER DISCO This may be easier said than done after you’ve had a few, but we’re willing to give it a try. The Bump Roller Disco will feature resident DJs from Bristol’s best clubs, meaning you’ll be able to enjoy a rave while you roll.

BECOME A REAL-LIFE ROCK STAR (SERIOUSLY) Why be yourself when you can dress up as your musical hero, right? Total Eclipse Of The Head are on hand to transform your hair into rock star

4

The calibre of this year’s headliners is strong, with the likes of Little Dragon, Fat Freddy’s Drop and Shy FX but there are some amazing Bristolian artists further down the bill. Here are ten to keep an eye out for...

EVA LAZARUS Singer Eva has provided vocals for a lot of big acts over the years, including the likes of Stanton Warriors and Jus Now. However, she’s now working on her own solo material and will put on an incredible main stage show on the Sunday.

MY NU LENG This bass duo have played at Love Saves nearly every year - and you only have to watch the crowd at their sets to see why. They’re one of Bristol’s most popular acts and their shows are always packed with energy. And they’re known as being some of the nicest guys on the scene.

ELDER ISLAND

Bristol acts not to miss

These guys are tipped for huge things and have supported the likes of Glass Animals on tour. They beautifully blend elements of R&B, dance and pop music across a myriad of instruments - you’d be silly to miss seeing them at a more intimate festival like this.

JUS NOW Although only one half of Jus Now hail from Bristol, they’ve become renowned in the city for their energetic parties and love of carnival rhythms. Their energetic sound will be right at home in Eastville Park.

DELI-G Deli-G has been a key player in Bristol’s music scene for more than 40 years, so expect nothing but the best when he takes to the Love Saves stage. He’s known for providing the best garage and house beats and has been involved in everything from building pirate radio shows to city soundsystems.

CLIPZ Drum ‘n’ bass hero Clipz has appeared at Love Saves for the past couple of years under his Redlight alias, but this is the first time in a decade he’s played as Clipz. He’ll be performing at the festival’s new stage, The Lost Gardens, and it’s sure to be a riot.

DJ DIE Die’s been on the Bristol music scene for more than 20 years, after working with Roni Size back in 1994. His beats cater to a wide variety of musical tastes, as embodied by his all-encompassing record label GutterFunk.

HODGE Hodge is renowned among Bristolian techno fans, but he’s been turning it up a notch lately. He’s been busy playing shows across Europe and has played with the likes of Julio Bashmore in recent times.

GARDNA Gardna is busy making a name for himself in dubstep, dancehall and grime circles with his tight lyrics. He’ll be performing with Kreed at Love Saves, who also feature Eva Lazarus and Parly B.

WOZ Although the Who Cares stage is packed with amazing bass artists this year, Woz is definitely one to look out for. He’s one of Bristol’s most exciting artists and his shows are always packed with intricate and interesting productions.

gangsta’s

paradise Beware of Gangsta Granny, warns Natalie Banyard, as the cabbage-munching pensioner heads to Bristol with marvellous mischief in mind

W

atch out! The cabbage-crunching, criminal master-mind, Gangsta Granny is coming to Bristol.

Bristol’s youngsters should grab their grannies (and parents!) and head along to The Bristol Hippodrome for this totally grantastic show.

Birmingham Stage Company, the producers of hit show Horrible Histories, are bringing their world premiere of David Walliams’ Gangsta Granny to the Hippodrome from Wednesday, May 31 to Saturday, June 3.

It’s Friday night and Ben knows that means only one thing – staying with Granny. There will be cabbage soup, cabbage pie and cabbage cake and Ben knows one thing for sure –

lence to prove it, Ben comes to realise that behind the grey and dowdy exterior lies a free spirit and he needs to treasure every bit of her.

Walliams, who is one of the judges on the popular Britain’s Got Talent TV show and creator of the ground-breaking comedy series, Little Britain, is now the best-selling author for children in the country.

David, who studied here at Bristol University, began his publishing career at Harper Collins in early 2008 with his debut novel The Boy in the Dress. Then, after writing two other popular stories, in 2011 he published Gangsta Granny, which was shortlisted for both The Red House Children’s Book Award and for the Roald Dahl Funny Prize. At Christ-

it’s going to be sooooooooo boring.

But what Ben doesn’t know is that Granny has a secret – and Friday nights are about to get more exciting than he could ever imagine, as he embarks on the adventure of a lifetime with his very own Gangsta Granny!

This magnificent, all-singing, all-dancing version of Walliams’ much-loved book is a must for all families and promises to have everyone from five to 105 crying with laughter. This unique show is both laugh-out-loud funny, with some brilliant comic scenes, but also has some very moving and truthful things to say about family relationships.

Although Granny is a fiend for scrabble and a compulsive cabbage eater, with the (highly audible) flatu-

mas 2013, a TV version of Gangsta Granny was shown on BBC One with an all-star cast including David Walliams himself.

The writer said of this new production: “I am over the moon that Gangsta Granny is coming to the stage.

It’s the most popular of all my books and I am sure this production by the brilliant Birmingham Stage Company will delight not just children but their parents and of course grandparents.

“It’s a fantastic show. And so much better than the book!”

THE LIST COMEDY

Russell Brand COLSTON HALL: WEDNESDAY MAY 31

N

otorious, eccentric and controversial, Russell Brand almost needs no introduction. While attending the Drama Centre in Camden, Brand began performing stand-up at night, reaching the final of Hackney Empire New Act of the Year in 2000. Brand has long been the king of controversy, being kicked out of drama school Italia Conti and dismissed from presenting on MTV for dressing up as Osama Bin Laden. He’s now added acting to his portfolio, having starred in the Hollywood movies St. Trinians, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Get Him To The Greek, and the remake of Arthur, which made him a name on the other side of the Atlantic.

In RE:BIRTH, Russell Brand wrestles with some big questions while unravelling the matrix of modern media, politics, sex, fatherhood and death. His latest stand-up sees Brand trying to make sense of a life having just made a new one.

till going strong since forming in 1977, Scottish rock band Simple Minds are returning to Bristol’s Colston Hall.

Over the years, the band have scored a string of hit singles, and are best known internationally for their 1985 hit Don’t You (Forget About Me), from the soundtrack of the John Hughes’ film The Breakfast Club. Other hits include Alive and Kicking and Belfast Child.

Simple Minds Acoustic is the newest album, celebrating their career spanning collection of songs acoustically for the very first time. On this album, the band have found a way of doing the acoustic thing without losing their essence. As a group who formed in the punk era and found their mojo through a shared love of Bowie, Kraftwerk and electronic dance, Simple Minds are not natural acoustic adventurers, but they have done a remarkable job here, adding fresh nuance to brilliant songs.

aving marked their return with infectious new single Heart Starts Beating. Coasts will embark on a six-date UK tour this summer which sees them return to Bristol. Cementing themselves as one of the most exciting acts on the scene and picking up support from the likes of BBC Radio 1, the Guardian and DIY Magazine, Coasts will bring their internationally acclaimed set to a handful of the intimate venues where the band first cut their teeth. Although only one record in, Coasts’ career has taken them to the very top of the game, including appearances at major festivals such as Coachella, Glastonbury, Reading & Leeds and Lollapalooza, as well as numerous sold-out UK, European and North American tours. With new music imminent in the form of a new record, Coasts are set for a huge 2017 that will take in extensive touring, building on 2016’s hugely successful self-titled debut album.

he inventive theatre company 1927 have taken the folk story of Golem - the man who creates a creature out of clay to work for him – and turned it into a visually stunning fable for the 21st century.

Located in a fictional yet familiar world, where technology and the market economy have evolved to a point of transcending the boundaries of human control, Golem has become a must-have ingredient for a better life. But its very existence threatens the prospect of those who created it.

This extraordinary production blends handmade animation, claymation, live music and performance, and cleverly and satirically explores one of the great questions of the modern world – who or what is in control of our technologies?

Golem received its UK premiere in 2015 at the Young Vic, receiving huge critical and audience acclaim and described as “Kafka meets Little Shop of Horror”.

Golem is at Bristol Old Vic from Wednesday, May 31 to Saturday, June 3. Call 0117 987 7877 or visit www.bristololdvic.org. uk

ALSO RELEASED THIS WEEK

Johnny Depp reprises his role as Jack Sparrow for Salazar’s Revenge

Pirate tale still buoyant FILM OF THE WEEK: PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: SALAZAR’S REVENGE ★★★✩✩ (12A, 129 mins) Johnny Depp, Javier Bardem, Geoffrey Bush, Kaya Scodelario, Brenton Thwaites, Orlando Bloom, Lewis McGowan. Directors: Joachim Ronning, Espen Sandberg.

T

he third and fourth voyages of the Pirates Of The Caribbean saga, At World’s End and On Stranger Tides, sprung leaks in their ramshackle screenplays and capsized under the weight of feverish expectation.

After a six-year hiatus for long overdue repairs, the blockbusting series sets sail with two new directors at the helm – Joachim Ronning and Espen Sandberg – and Johnny Depp swabbing the decks in his familiar guise as salty sea dog Jack Sparrow.

Pirates Of The Caribbean: Salazar’s Revenge is a marked improvement and anchors the outlandish action to solid performances from two charismatic young actors, Kaya Scodelario and Brenton Thwaites, with simmering on-screen chemistry.

Depp continues to ply his comic schtick with wide-eyed gusto and Spanish actor Javier Bardem, who collected an Oscar for his chilling turn in No Country For Old Men, is a lip-smacking phantasmagorical villain from the watery underworld.

Action sequences are spectacular, including the hysterically overblown theft of a bank safe and a dizzying dance of death between Jack and a guillotine blade.

to the hiding place of the trident.

The duo join forces and unexpectedly cross paths with Jack Sparrow (Depp).

He is being pursued by spectral pirate Captain Armando Salazar (Bardem), who has escaped from the Devil’s Triangle and intends to exact revenge, aided by Jack’s old adversary Captain Hector Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush).

A little Depp goes a long way in Pirates Of The Caribbean: Salazar’s Revenge.

He makes merry with his treasure chest of physical pratfalls and garbled one-liners.

Ronning and Sandberg keep a firm hand on the rudder and navigate a largely entertaining course between eye-popping spectacle and family feuds.

Their film is advertised as the “final” adventure and it would be sensible to drop the mainsail here while the series is still buoyant.

The fifth chapter has its pleasures but it’s not all plain sailing.

The return of Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and another original character is misjudged, a central plot thread is disappointingly similar to another summer blockbuster, and the 129-minute running time feels excessive.

A superfluous cameo for Paul McCartney as a fellow pirate also should have walked the gangplank.

Twelve-year-old Henry Turner (Lewis McGowan) stows away on the wreck of the Flying Dutchman in order to be reunited with his father Will (Bloom).

“This is my fate. You must let me go,” pleads Will, who is condemned to serve as captain of the watery vessel for eternity... unless his son can track down the mythical Trident of Poseidon.

Nine years later, Henry (now played by Brenton Thwaites) searches for the artefact’s whereabouts on the island of St Martin in the Caribbean, where he meets plucky astronomer Carina Smyth (Kaya Scodelario), who is labelled a witch because of her unerring love of science.

She possesses a diary penned by Galileo Galilei, which contains clues

VERDICT This could be the final instalment for the Pirates Of The Caribbean franchise, and new directors and great young actors have made this a movie worth seeing.

SPARK (PG, 91 mins) A planet of apes goes to war in writer-director Aaron Woodley’s otherworldly computer-animated fable, which is second-hand in almost every respect, including a flimsy plot that awkwardly melds The Lion King and Zootropolis with Ratchet And Clank.

The simplicity of the animation coupled with subdued vocal performances, leave Woodley’s picture marooned in space, tumbling out of control towards a black hole of mediocrity.

A brief prologue relates the destruction of the planet Bana at the hands of his “eternal malevolency” Zhong (voiced

by Alan C Peterson), who unleashes a space kraken with the power to create black holes.

A newborn called Spark (Jace Norman) is saved from oblivion by his self-sacrificing parents and the infant is spirited away to one broken shard of Bana by a robotic carer, Bananny (Susan Sarandon).

At the age of 13, Spark steals a ship and makes a secret flight to the remains of his home planet, accompanied by cute cockroach Floyd.

Subsequently, Spark encounters the Queen (Hilary Swank) and becomes a pawn in a life-or-death battle.

Woodley’s script moves at warp speed, sacrificing development of two-dimensional characters at the altar of action set pieces.

Gags miss more targets than they hit and a quartet of squeaking space cockroaches, which become Spark’s allies in adversity, owe much to the Minions from Despicable Me.

FILM Jason Drucker as Greg Heffley

A diary entry to forget NEW RELEASE: DIARY OF A WIMPY KID: THE LONG HAUL ★★✩✩✩ (U, 91 mins) Jason Drucker, Charlie Wright, Alicia Silverstone, Tom Everett Scott, Wyatt Walters, Dylan Walters, Owen Asztalos, Chris Coppola, Joshua Hoover. Director: David Bowers.

F

amily matters matter in the fourth installment of the Diary Of A Wimpy Kid series, based on the hugely popular books by Jeff Kinney.

The cast of David Bowers’ pedestrian road movie may have changed for this perky franchise reboot, but the reliance on bodily fluids of every viscosity and hue for easy laughs apparently never grows old.

For 91 minutes, we are trapped with a dysfunctional clan, which allows their young son to relieve himself in plastic bottles while sitting on the back seat of the car rather than pull over and avoid spillages, and the lad’s humiliation.

A belly full of deep-fried butter sticks from a county fair is projectile vomited at the screen and the titular tyke’s decision to hide in a motel room shower proves horribly misguided, when we are forced to listen to an unsuspecting guest making splashes in the toilet bowl on the other side of the shower curtain.

Director Bowers, helming his third picture in a row, makes heavy work of preposterous interludes such as

ALSO RELEASED THIS WEEK WAR MACHINE (Certificate TBC, 122 mins) Inspired by journalist Michael Hastings’ book The Operators: The Wild And Terrifying Inside Story Of America’s War In Afghanistan, this Netflix drama comedy directed by David Michod explores the folly of conflict through the eyes of a high-ranking US officer undone by his own hubris.

Four-star General Glen McMahon (Brad Pitt) is drafted into Afghanistan to command Nato forces. Aided by press adviser Matt Little (Topher Grace), McMahon embraces the role and his media profile with gusto, which includes important meetings with Afghan president Hamid Karzai (Sir Ben Kingsley).

However, he is misguided in his actions and McMahon comes under unfriendly fire from one journalist’s noholds-barred expose of life on the front line.  War Machine is available to stream on Netflix and released in selected cinemas.

“The only connecting we’re doing is with each other!” she trills.

Following their trusty satnav, the Heffleys careen from one mishap to the next, including a stomach-churning spin on a ride at a county fair and bruising exchanges with fellow traveller Mr Beardo (Chris Coppola) and his family.

As the title suggests, Diary Of A Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul is a slog and there are lags between half-hearted giggles.

Drucker brings likability to his perpetually unlucky lad, while Silverstone injects her well-intentioned yet naive mom with plentiful pep.

There’s an aching predictability to the mawkish final destination of Bowers’ script, co-written by author Kinney, that feels contrived and emotionally hollow.

Like the Heffleys, we’re glad when the cross-country odyssey comes to a screeching end.

the central character taking a dip in a hot tub full of cheesy snacks and emerging as a bright orange Oompa Loompa.

This unfortunate soul is 12-yearold Greg Heffley (Jason Drucker), who receives an unwanted gift in a children’s ball pit during a visit to a themed family restaurant with the rest of his clan.

Video footage of his ordeal goes viral. Stung by his online infamy as Diaper Hands, Greg resolves to restore his tainted reputation by making a video with his online idol, Mac Digby (Joshua Hoover), who is due to attend a video gaming convention in Indiana.

Alas, Greg is already committed to a Heffley family road trip to his grandmother’s 90th birthday celebrations. “This is an unplugged road trip: no phones, no iPads, no internet,” explains his mother Susan (Alicia Silverstone) as she collects mobile devices from Greg, her husband Frank (Tom Everett Scott), eldest son Rodrick (Charlie Wright) and youngest child Manny (Wyatt and Dylan Walters).

VERDICT Predictable and gross – you’ll be glad when this movie comes to an end.

FOOD REVIEW

Greek option falls short of the mark THE ATHENIAN CARGO 2, WAPPING WHARF

T

he Athenian was third over the finishing line in the race to open at Cargo 2, the second stage of the shipping container park at Wapping Wharf, but this Greek street food business arrives in Bristol with plenty of experience having several similar operations in London.

As with all of the Cargo restaurants, it’s a modest space - just two containers bolted together - with an open kitchen and room for around a dozen diners, who can eat at the counter or at the solitary white table in the middle.

Specialising in souvlaki - Greek wraps this is essentially a takeaway and the manager told me there were plans to use a delivery service, which seems to make good business sense.

There are five different souvlaki wraps on offer in either ‘regular’ or ‘super’ size.

If you don’t want to wrestle with a handheld wrap, you can ask for a deconstructed souvlaki in a brown cardboard box, which makes for easier eating and there’s less risk of tzatziki dip dribbling down your jeans.

Prices start at £5.50 for a regular wrap and rise to £8.50 for a double meat and halloumi box. Options are: chicken and halloumi; pork and halloumi; lamb and beef burger and halloumi; double halloumi; grilled mushrooms and halloumi or double meat and halloumi.

That’s a lot of halloumi, but apparent-

ly it’s handmade in Messinia, southern Greece, so a step up from the rubbery pucks you buy in the supermarket.

There are also a couple of salads (£5 each) - a classic Greek salad and a dakos (Cretan barley rusk topped with finely sliced tomatoes, feta cheese, red onions and Kalamata olives dressed in oregano and Cretan extra virgin Olive oil).

As well as the tzatziki yoghurt, garlic and cucumber dip, there are sides of tyrokafteri (spicy feta and red pepper dip) and melitzanosalata (smoked aubergine) - all £3 - and oregano fries (£2.50).

Washed down with a bottle of Fix Hellas Greek beer, I went for the regular lamb and beef burger in a box (£6.50).

It was certainly a generous portion, although the box had essentially been filled with seven triangles of pitta bread, a handful of (decent, paprika-coated) oregano fries, chopped iceberg lettuce and two scoops of cool, garlicky tzatziki and smoky, creamy smoked aubergine.

The ‘burger’ was more like a small kebab

23

or sausage sliced in two. It was lukewarm and had the overworked, pappy texture of those cheap microwave sheekh kebabs you find lurking in the fridges of small corner shops or petrol stations. For £6.50, I expected a lot more bang for the buck.

There is certainly a market for Greek street food at Wapping Wharf but The Athenian might be more weather dependent than some of its neighbours.

On a baking hot weekend lunchtime, The Athenian may rise to the occasion like an Olympian but on a wet mid-week evening, it was more like the kid in last place in the school sports day big feet race.

FOOD ★★✩✩✩ SERVICE ★★✩✩✩ AMBIENCE ★★✩✩✩ VALUE ★★✩✩✩ OVERALL ★★✩✩✩

MARK TAYLOR’S VERDICT It’s early days for The Athenian but there are countless places in Bristol serving better street food and competition will only increase. It needs to up its game before it runs the risk of becoming something of a Greek tragedy.

FOOD REVIEW

Italian café already one of the best

GROSVENOR CASINO 266 ANCHOR ROAD, BRISTOL

MURRAYS, 10 PARK ROW, BRISTOL

A

local institution since 1984, Murrays in Clevedon is still going strong and now the family have finally extended their award-winning deli/café brand to central Bristol.

Alex Murray and his wife, Miranda, opened their new café and deli on Park Row just last month in what for a short period was the Lean Meals healthy food café.

The Murrays have given the place a lick of paint and, thankfully, ripped out the fake green grass by the counter in the window. The result is a light and airy Italian café, deli and takeaway that’s ideally located close to Bristol University.

Shelves of pasta, olive oil, freshly marinated olives, preserves, Artisan Italian breads and cakes form the deli part of this operation and there is 10 per cent discount for those customers who decide to take their food away with them, rather than grabbing one of the highly prized tables in the compact dining area.

Open for breakfast, lunch, coffee and cakes, the emphasis here is as much on quality, seasonal local ingredients and the best imported from the family’s beloved Italy.

There are sandwiches, paninis, salads, pasta dishes and a daily meat and fish special. Signature dishes include a ciabatta sandwich of fennel-roasted free-range Clevedon pork shoulder with caramelised ‘country garden’ chutney for £4.50, a lasagne of mushrooms and Parma ham with cream sauce (£8.50) and braised ox cheek, celeriac purée, peas and salsa verde for £9.50. You can wash it all down with Sicilian lemonade, West Country apple juice, or Italian wines and beers.

Pop in during the morning and options include fried Italian plum to-

Cornish hake; inside Murrays, shown below

onions mixed with the razor-thin slices of salty, nutty cheese and young, sweet broad beans the size of a baby’s fingernail.

It was followed by a ‘small plate’ of pork and beef meatballs (£4) - four firm orbs of herby meat on a slick of smooth, sweet tomato sauce and a slice of toasted crostini with a dribble of fruity olive oil.

A main course of baked fillet of Cornish hake (£9.50) with thick, milk-white flakes was teamed with a tangle of chickpeas, meltingly soft red and yellow peppers and spicy Calabrian sausage which added spice and warmth.

Tiramisu (£4) may have lacked the expected booze and coffee punch, but it was a well made and comforting classic with a pleasing bitterness from the chocolate countering the richness of the cream.

matoes on toast with basil or smoked salmon and scrambled eggs on wholemeal toast and spiced crushed avocado with heritage tomatoes and feta cheese on rye toast.

The lunchtime menu includes several ‘small plate’ options for £5 or less. One or two of these would make for an ample light lunch - perhaps buffalo mozzarella, heritage Italian tomatoes and basil followed by ham hock terrine and homemade piccalilli.

Stand-out salads include the Parma ham, mozzarella and fig with balsamic dressing (£7.50), with fresh Devon crab, crayfish tail, avocado and tomato mayonnaise (£6.50) among the pick of the sandwiches.

I teed off with broad bean and pecorino salad with mint and leaves (£4), a bright, fresh, delicate dish that rather undersold itself as there were also slivers of fennel, basil and spring

FOOD ★★★★✩ SERVICE ★★★★✩ AMBIENCE ★★★★✩ VALUE ★★★★★

MARK TAYLOR’S VERDICT Top drawer café food conjured from high quality ingredients and served at prices affordable enough to warrant regular return visits, Murrays brings a delicious slice of Little Italy to Park Row.

OVERALL ★★★★✩

I’m not really a gambling man but even I would put money on the fact the £1.50 breakfast at the Grosvenor Casino is the best value start to the day in Bristol at the moment.

This was certainly the first time I had entered a casino at 9.30am on a sunny, Monday morning but I was surprised not to be the only person in there.

As well as a couple of cleaners, there was a handful of ‘guests’ (these places try not to refer to them as gamblers) already at the tables and machines but there were also as many people in the restaurant section.

Served from 8am-11am, Monday to Friday, the Breakfast Club offer is simply a standard cooked breakfast for £1.50 including tea or coffee, with additional items 50p each. That’s probably cheaper than any game in the casino and certainly gives the likes of supermarket cafés and McDonald’s a run for their money.

I ordered my breakfast at the bar

and it arrived at the table within ten minutes, along with a tray of sauces, all of them spotlessly clean, and not sticky and crusty as is often the case in greasy spoon cafés. The plate was too hot to pick up and the food was piping, too.

For £1.50, including a drink, you don’t really question things like the provenance of the ingredients and it’s probably a fair assumption that they haven’t been sourced from a local organic farm.

For the price, it was a breakfast you couldn’t really argue with and the service was quicker and more efficient than many upmarket restaurants.

The sausage was firm and meaty, the two rashers of bacon perfectly cooked and crisp at the edges, the yolk in the fried egg was runny and the beans were glossy and plentiful.

VERDICT When it comes to the best value breakfast in Bristol, there can be nowhere else currently offering a better deal.

RECIPE

MICHELIN-STARRED ATUL KOCHHAR SHOWS US HOW TO MAKE CURRIES IN MINUTES, AND TELLS KATE WHITING HE LEARNED TO COOK TO GET OUT OF CLEANING AND THAT HIS SON INSPIRES HIS RECIPES

A

tul Kochhar is reminiscing about the day he became the first Indian chef to be awarded the gold standard for culinary expertise – a Michelin star – as head chef at Tamarind in 2001.

“I remember as if it were yesterday... A journalist from the Evening Standard called and said, ‘You have a Michelin star’ and I said, ‘No, no, I don’t have a Michelin star’ and hung the phone up. Then he called back and said, ‘No, I was trying to tell you that you’ve got a Michelin star, you’ve been awarded one’ and I started shaking, I couldn’t believe it.”

To cap it all, that evening Gordon Ramsay came to eat at the restaurant to celebrate achieving his third Michelin star: “He was eating my food to celebrate his third star with his wife and family. He came to the kitchen to congratulate everyone and he was so chatty. Obviously he was very happy for his third star, but he genuinely was very happy that we got the star as well.”

Six years later, Atul, 47, was awarded a second Michelin star for his own restaurant, Benares.

Despite all the acclaim, however, he’s now turning his attention to slightly more simple fare in his latest book, 30 Minute Curries.

“Everybody expects me to write complicated books and I won’t deny it, I have done that. I wrote the Benares cookbook and each recipe has got six recipes in it. But I’m also a father and when I cook at home, I’m not cooking Michelin-starred food, I’m cooking everyday food.

“I’ve learnt shortcuts to put food on the table really quickly – there’s only so much time kids can hold out – so this book is to celebrate that. And also, [people say] Indian food takes forever, but it doesn’t. Anybody can do it, so I’m sharing my techniques of how you can do it very quickly.

Every recipe actually comes under 25 minutes.”

His book is movingly dedicated to his son (“my best friend”), 11-yearold Arjun, who inspires Atul to be inventive with food.

“Arjun has strong likes and dislikes... One of his pet hates is broccoli, so I keep making it in different ways. Last weekend, I made chickpea burgers, so I put broccoli in there and told him if he can find it then he can get some Lego. He couldn’t trace it.

“He believes that certain flavours work and certain ones don’t, so for example, I think carrot and ginger works and he says, ‘Little people don’t like ginger, it’s too stringy, too strong, there have to be better ways to use it’. So, he said, ‘Why don’t you make a paste of ginger?’ You get the flavour, but you don’t get the texture.

It was interesting to hear this little person talk about food.”

His daughter, Amisha, 13, is very different: “She has an incredible palate and she’s quite a good critic as well. When they both eat at Benares, my maitre d’ never asks them how the meal was, because he knows he’ll get detailed feedback.”

Atul was born in Jamshedpur, India, and learned to cook from both his parents.

“We were a slightly unusual Indi-

an family – boys are normally made to look like gods and they become couch potatoes, but not in my house.

My mum said from day one, everybody lives in the house so everybody has to [help]. I paired up with my oldest sister, we always cooked together, and my other sister and younger brother were on cleaning duty. I hated it when I had to clean up, I still hate it.

So that taught me how to cook.”

His favourite childhood food was a type of dumpling called Litti, which was stuffed with lentils and thrown in the hot ashes of a fire for a few hours: “You dust the ash away and then dip them in a nice potato curry. I absolutely loved it.”

He’s thrilled that Brits have long had a love affair with Indian food that is growing all the time: “I look at someone like Tom Kerridge, a quintessentially British chef, but he uses more coriander powder and cumin powder than I would ever use in my food. It’s heart-warming, it’s good to see that it’s opening up. I love it.”

Give it a try:

Atul Kochhar

PRAWN AND COCONUT CURRY (narkol chengri moli) (Serves 4) 500g raw peeled tiger prawns 3 green cardamom pods Fresh coriander leaves 1tbsp ghee or vegetable oil 2 cloves 1 dried bay leaf 1 cinnamon stick 1tbsp onion paste (see recipe, right) 1/2tsp red chilli powder, or to taste 1/4tsp ground turmeric 250ml coconut milk Sea salt Method Assemble all the ingredients and equipment before you begin. You

need a large saute or frying pan with a lid. Remove and discard the prawn tails, if necessary. Lightly crush the cardamom pods to loosen the seeds. Rinse and chop enough coriander leaves to make about one tablespoon.

Melt the ghee over a medium-high heat in the pan. Add the cardamom pods and the seeds, the cloves, bay leaf and cinnamon stick, and stir until the spices crackle. Add the onion paste and stir it into the oil for 30 seconds.

Add the chilli powder and turmeric and stir for 30 seconds to cook the spices. Watch closely so they

do not burn. Reduce the heat to medium and add the prawns and coconut milk. Season with salt and continue stirring for 30 seconds, or until the prawns turn pink on both sides. Take care not to over-cook the prawns.

Adjust the seasoning with salt, if necessary, and stir in the chopped coriander just before serving.

27

ONION PASTE (Makes about 600g) 2tbsp vegetable oil 500g onions, coarsely chopped 100g (about 6tbsp) ginger-garlic paste (see below) 1tsp sea salt Method Heat the oil over a medium-high heat in a large saute or frying pan that is ideally non-stick. Add the onions, the ginger-garlic paste and salt, and stir frequently for 25 minutes, or until the onions are browned. Watch carefully towards the end of cooking so the mixture doesn’t catch and burn, which can happen very quickly. If they do burn, you’ll have to throw them out and start over – there isn’t any way to rescue them.

Transfer the mixture to a food processor while it’s still warm and blitz to a fine paste. Leave to cool completely, then store in a covered container in the fridge for up to four weeks, or freeze for up to three months.

GINGER-GARLIC PASTE (Makes about 225g) 2 large garlic heads, 75g each, separated into cloves and peeled 150g fresh ginger, peeled weight, coarsely chopped 2tbsp water Method Put the garlic cloves, ginger and water in a food processor fitted with a chopping blade and blitz, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary, until a paste forms.

This keeps in a covered container in the fridge for up to four weeks, or can be frozen for up to three months.

Strong, year-round sales mean the future’s looking rosy for the pink stuff, says Sam Wylie-Harris

CLOUD CHASER COTES DE PROVENCE ROSÉ 2015, France (£17.95, www.31dover.com) This wine will dispel any thoughts that pinks are for picnics. Intense, with a soft, round sensuous palate, the sumptuous berry fruits are lined with apricot and peach accents and the finish is long and expressive.

MIRABEAU PURE ROSE 2016, Cotes de Provence, France (£12.99, Waitrose) Delicate fresh berry fruits and blossomy aromas.

CHATEAU CAVALIER CUVEE CASCADEL COTES DE PROVENCE 2016, France (£13, Marks & Spencer) This has an array of freshly crushed berry aromas and is full of juicy yellow plum and white peach flavours, with a fine thread of acidity on the crisp, clean finish.

L’ART PROVENCAL ROSÉ 2016, France (£9.99, www. laithwaites.co.uk) Light and zingy, but with enough wild strawberry fruits, currant and plum, dried herbal notes and a shimmering streak of minerality to keep you coming back for more.

Rinse the spinach and shake off the excess water. Drain the lentils, then stir them into the saute pan.

Add the spinach and frozen coconut, season with salt and stir-fry until the spinach wilts. When you take the coconut out of the freezer, set aside some for the garnish.

Rinse the lentils in the sieve with cold running water, then add them to the boiling water. Return the water to the boil and leave the lentils uncovered for 20 minutes, or until they are tender, but still holding their shape.

Remove the stalk from the green chilli, if necessary, then slice the chilli lengthways. Peel, quarter and thinly slice the onion. Halve and slice the tomato.

SUNSCREEN

Stay protected this summer with the latest sunscreens for all occasions. Lisa Haynes shows you how to up your SPF game

S

that bit more thorough.

unscreen shouldn’t be just for heatwaves and holidays – over summer especially, you need to boost your sun protection factor (SPF) armoury.

Luckily, the beauty world is making creams easier to apply (tick) and way more niche for your individual skincare needs (double tick).

Yes, these sunscreens have broad-spectrum protection to guard the skin against UVA (ageing) and UBV (burning) rays, but the newest formulations are going that extra mile to make sun protection more bespoke.

Meet the innovative new sun potions you need to know about this summer...

FOR BEACH BABES TRY: Vichy Ideal Soleil AntiSand SPF50, £18 (vichy.co.uk) No need to camp around the pool if you’re sand-averse with Vichy’s clever lotion. The lightweight formulation is easily absorbed with an ultra-dry finish that allows sand to be brushed off easily, so you can make sandcastles to your heart’s content.

he SS17 catwalks practically turned into a barcode of stripyness, ranging from subtle PJ pinstripes to uberbold panels.

With all those clean, straight lines, stripes are the minimalist’s way to do impactful prints. Classic monochrome is the starkest way to wear them, while multicoloured seaside stripes are the loudest – think of the brightest deckchair on a beautiful beach.

Line up for this summer’s hottest stripes...

ZEBRA CROSSING If you’re fully committed to the linear look, go bold with uberwide vertical or horizontal stripes.

There’s no softly-softly approach with supersized stripes but, as a rule, keep one of the contrasting colours in a neutral, like black, navy, cream or white, to avoid overkill. Black and white is everyone’s best friend but red and cream is this summer’s hottest colour combo.

Shelf portraits ELEANOR OLIPHANT IS COMPLETELY FINE BY GAIL HONEYMAN is published in hardback by HarperCollins, priced £12.99 (ebook £7.99) There are some books whose narrator is so well written, so human and instantly engaging, that they have you right from the first line. Such is the case with Gail Honeyman’s Eleanor Oliphant.

It’s unremarkable as first lines go (“When people ask me what I do – taxi drivers, hairdressers – I tell them I work in an office”), but it subtly poses questions and tees up the most refreshing and heartwarming debut I’ve read in some time. Eleanor has worked at the same boring job for eight years.

She has the same routine: home to her council flat, The Archers and pasta with pesto and salad for tea.

On a Friday evening, she buys a margherita pizza and two bottles of vodka to see her through the weekend: “Monday takes a long time to come round.” Eleanor, who’s 31, was in care through much of her childhood and has hazy flashbacks to a traumatic event.

Her mum calls on Wednesday evening from prison, and there’s no love between them. When scruffy new office IT guy Raymond and Eleanor see an elderly man take a tumble, it draws the two of them together into a tentative friendship that will eventually help Eleanor break free from her lonely existence and learn how to live.

Not only is she a joy to read as a character, brave, smart and funny, Eleanor will give readers some perspective on their own lives.

THE ICE BY LALINE PAULL is published in hardback by Fourth Estate, priced £12.99 (ebook £7.99) This is the second novel from the author of the much-praised The Bees. Set in the near future, the action alternates between Britain and Arctic Norway as “very modern buccaneer” Sean Cawson pursues commercial success in Europe’s far north, while haunted by the accidental (or was it?) death of his business partner, environmentally aware Tom Harding. Among the clues that this is set a few years from now are the introduction of a top barrister as a “KC”, not “QC”,

and the fact that most ice at the North Pole has melted, opening a trade route across the top of the world and raising the prospect of both the exploitation of natural resources and great-power territorial disputes (Putin’s Russia actually planted a flag on the Polar seabed in 2007). This could have been preachy in a green sort of way. It isn’t. The excitement of Cawson (and others) is given a fair hearing, and much of the action takes place in that underused source of drama, the British coroner’s court.

end. Timbuktu, in modern-day Mali, long a place of learning and culture, was considered sinful by its detractors, in this case the alQaeda-inspired conquerors who took control in 2012. Author and journalist Charlie English, from a long line of Britons fascinated by the stronghold on the edge of the Sahara, tells of the Monument Men-style efforts to preserve ancient manuscripts against invaders determined to erase history. The occupiers would later be ejected and while some Sufi shrines were damaged, the rescue operation saved many manuscripts. English interweaves tales of its more distant past, including that of 14th-century Mansa (King) Musa, associated with Timbuktu’s golden age, who was so generous with his gold to those less fortunate that the precious metal’s market value collapsed.

THESE DIVIDING WALLS BY FRAN COOPER is published in hardback by Hodder & Stoughton, priced £14.99 (ebook £6.99) Fran Cooper, who grew up in London but spent three years in Paris while writing her PhD, sets her first novel in an unfashionable quarter of the French capital during a hot summer when tensions are rising. The residents of an apartment complex barely know each other except to exchange a greeting when they pass in the courtyard, but their lives become intertwined as what goes on behind their closed front doors is slowly revealed. Edward, a young Brit looking to escape his past, arrives and meets a cast of characters, including Cesar, who is hiding secrets from his wife; Anais, who is crumbling under the pressure of caring for her young children; and Madame Marin, whose husband turns a blind eye to her nocturnal outings. Cooper avoids turning the less pleasant residents among them into lazy stereotypes, and her threedimensional characters are what make this novel so readable.

WAVE ME GOODBYE BY JACQUELINE WILSON is published in hardback by Doubleday Childrens, priced £12.99 (ebook £8.99) Over three days in September 1939, 1.5 million children were evacuated from cities to the countryside. Much venerated children’s author Jacqueline Wilson has turned to this period for her remarkable 106th book. It opens as 10-year-old Londoner Shirley is woken early by her mum and asked if she’d like to “go on a little holiday”. It soon becomes clear she’s going by herself. At Victoria station, she’s rushed onto a train with a group of schoolgirls from a convent school and makes firm friends with the bespectacled Jessica. But once they arrive at Meadow Ridge, they’re separated and Shirley has the ignominy of being passed over for her schoolmates by the mums who have offered to take in evacuees.

Eventually she’s billeted with the two remaining boys. Wilson has an incredible ability to inhabit her child characters so precisely and Wave Me Goodbye will be like Nina Bawden’s Carrie’s War for a new generation of children learning about our country’s past.

HOLIDAY VIBE "If you don't have any outside space, transform your room into a romantic summer garden with a wooden chandelier, some plants and the gentle glow of candlelight," says Lucinda Waterhouse, OKA founder.

Chandeliers made out of wood or beads create a relaxed holiday vibe and have a charm of their own, but don't be afraid to consider crystal. Cut glass catches the light (crystal casts a soft glow) and along with being a thing of beauty, it can brighten the darkest of rooms.

SPLASH OF COLOUR "Lighting is a great carrier for colour. During the summer months, inserting splashes of vibrancy and colour either in bases or shades is a great way to update your decor to complement the warmer weather," says Sophie Amini, designer at Pooky Lighting.

"Using lighting is less risky than doing a whole wall or a set of curtains in one bright colour. It can enhance a room yet allow for flexibility, and does not have to be a huge expense. We have a beautiful range of table lamps in a range of materials, which are an affordable and simple way of adding colour and interest to your room without breaking the bank.

"Even when you switch them off, your lamp will still look beautiful."

Indeed, investing in a funky shade, base or exotic palmshaped table lamp, and mix 'n' matching with cutting-edge pieces that can be moved around is far more fun (and less risky) than committing to a curtain call that looks the same 24/7.  1.

WARM GLOW “People tend to underestimate the use and importance of light during summer, as we have natural light for so much longer. Whether you’re looking to add new lighting indoors or outdoors, the right lighting can really enhance your experience,” says Chris Jordan, managing director at Christopher Wray.

“Indoors, it’s great to go for fittings and shades that are lighter and airy, something that evokes warm weather and far-off destinations.

“The Floriss, with its colourful, petalshaped folds, mimics the lush foliage outdoors, while the Planet’s fabric sphere is lined in the same way as leaves. The natural form and colour of these pendants create a softer light that works brilliantly in the twilight hours.”

And if you really want to pull the plug on dated fluorescent lighting, refreshing citrus colours are all the rage at Amara. The luxury homeware brand suggests pairing its orange and lime accessories against a white backdrop, to allow the colours to create a bold focal point in the room.  Floriss Suspension Light, Lime Green, from £645 (halogen), Christopher Wray (www.christopherwray.com)  Planet, from £694 (50cm), Christopher Wray (www.christopherwray.com)  Kartell Ceiling Light, Orange, £187, Amara (www.amara.com)

EVER CHANGING MOODS When it comes to highlighting certain areas of the room, it's important to consider where the natural light is falling, especially when there's a bright blue sky outside.

Whether it's a neutral background or moody paint effects, if you want to create a brighter, more open feel within the space, the colour of the walls and use of lighting is essential.

"Introducing oversized lighting is a fantastic way to add drama and interest to a living space," says John Sims-Hilditch, co-founder of Neptune. "The atmosphere that's created from the light cast of a large pendant light can really alter the mood of a room. The material and colour of the drum is also an effective decorative accessory even when the light is switched off."

Even choosing the correct light bulb for your pendant light is a

simple way of altering the feel of the room, suggests Sims-Hilditch.

Ask yourself how you want this room to make you feel.

David Lifton TRY NOT TO REACH FOR THE PELLETS WHEN PROTECTING PLANTS

A

lthough we had a good week of sunshine not long ago, the more seasonal weather has made a return.

With more rainfall this week, all those healthy vegetable plants and flowers we’ve planted outside are targets for hungry slugs and snails.

The warm temperatures combined with the moist atmosphere are providing molluscs in our garden with the perfect conditions, meaning that they’re more active than ever. Lettuces devoured, broad beans decapitated - the havoc that just a handful of slugs can cause you is beyond belief.

I’m currently experiencing this with my first batch of broad bean plants.

The young plants are being nibbled, and I’m particularly worried now that we have had consistent downpours of rain. Admittedly, I have thrown down a few pellets because the crop is so precious to me, but I have been looking for alternative. I have developed a couple of solutions for keeping slugs at bay and I mostly try and use organic barriers to prevent them from getting on to my broad beans in the first place.

Because they rely on moisture, slugs hate coffee. Coffee grounds work fantastically around the bases of vegetable plants. While they don’t keep every slug off your vegetables, they do provide a short-term solution to battling the pests and the added nitrogen will feed your plants well too. What I tend to do on top of this is add egg shells. Grit will do the job too. By crushing up the shell into a fine powder and combining it with the moisture-sapping coffee, this can create a reliable barrier.

While my research isn’t conclusive, I’ve found that spraying plants with a concentrated garlic feed can also help protect them against the slugs.

Because of its potent aroma, garlic is likely to make the slug’s meal a lot less tasty than it first thought. In the same way, a foliar spray of coffee would do the trick just as well.

Now, of course, you’ll have to keep reapplying all the above regularly to keep the protection up particularly in heavy rain. Yet, by employing these things, as well as ensuring that all slug habitats are moved and exposed, you’ll only need a couple of pellets to ensure a good harvest.

David Lifton has some useful tips to help protect young plants, such as broad beans,s from slugs

RHUBARB AND ORANGE TART STEP 1

Slice your rhubarb into chunks and drop them into a saucepan with a little water. Cook the stalks for around six minutes to soften. Drain the water and add a knob of butter.

Bring the saucepan to the heat and then drop in around 50g of caster sugar. Fry the rhubarb until it starts to caramelise with the sugar before removing and setting aside.

Take a roll of pre-made pastry and line a tart case, cutting the sides to the top of the case. Pre-heat your oven to gas mark 6/200C.

STEP 2 Place a baking tray with baking beans over the top of the pastry case and cook the pastry in the oven for around 15 to 20 minutes.

Take off the baking beans and paper and set aside to cool.

STEP 4 Next, turn on the grill. Remove the skins and slice three large oranges in half. Arrange these over a

STEP 3

baking tray with a little honey and a sprinkling of lavender. Grill the oranges until they start to brown on the tops.

STEP 5 First, pour your caramelised rhubarb onto the tart case. Follow by placing the orange slices on top of the rhubarb and then serve up with cream.

Tim Foster RAIN OR SHINE: THE GARDENING YEAR IS ALWAYS EXCITING

H

aving found the foliage of my spuds dark green and strangely translucent, I had a quick stroll around the allotment site in an attempt to make myself feel better by finding other plotholders with similarly frosted potatoes. Disappointingly (and selfishly), mine were the only ones damaged. Why were my spuds being picked on? What had I done to offend the gods of horticulture?

Well, it wasn’t a disaster – the following two nights put paid to everybody else’s potatoes with harder frosts. The frosted foliage went brown, and healthy new growth has already replaced it. It might just have set them back slightly: later earlies.

More worrying was the effect on fruit blossom – if that is seriously damaged then that’s no crop for another year.

In Bristol, we may or may not have had an air frost. An air frost is not good news because it affects much more than plants like my spuds at ground level (cryptically called a ground frost). The pictures on the news about the UK’s vines being affected were rather sad viewing.

Because apples, for example, flower over a period of a couple of weeks not all of the blossom will have been affected by two nights of air frost. We can hope that the flowers that opened after the frosts were untouched and that some fruit will be produced. The good news is that any fruit produced in such a year, though fewer in number, is often larger and of good quality.

Anyway, what I was most interested in was why one patch of vegetables would be affected and another not.

Shelter is a big thing, so surrounding foliage will help. More important is location in the landscape: rural as opposed to urban is exceptionally important, which is why I’m still hopeful for my fruit, snuggled up as it is in diesel and woodburner fumes, and benefiting from the night storage heater known as Tarmac and concrete.

Of equal importance is topography.

A frost pocket is a low point where cold air settles (getting potatoes frosted is a low point in the gardening year). So valleys, the bottom of a

Who knows what the weather will bring for gardeners this summer Picture: Paul Gillis

slope and even the upside of a hedge which runs along a contour, can be a frost pocket.

This makes it even more interesting with my situation, since I am not in a frost pocket. I am left with two possibilities. The first is that my potato bed is just downhill from a gap in a hedge – the cold air, as it flows downhill, may have been funnelled towards it. The other thought is that I had just watered them. Watering is quite good for plants – see more later – but if they are “full” and saturated (the correct term is “turgid”) they may be more vulnerable. The cells in an unwatered plant may be more concentrated, acting like anti freeze in a radiator.

In an absence of an answer to either of those questions, let us continue in the weather vein (vane?). The dry spring was terrific – for the following reasons:  There have been fewer active slugs.  There have been lots of gardening days.

 Heavy clay soils have not been wet and sticky.  The roof hasn’t leaked.

It has also been problematic for the following reasons:  We can’t find where the roof had been leaking.  Trying to sow seeds and establish little seedlings has been trickier. A newly germinated seed will be stopped in its tracks (also known as “death”) if it dries out.  Heavy clay soils have cracked and set hard. They were alright for a while and then, like an overenthusiastic uncle, just went too far.

To sow seeds, small soil aggregates are needed – technically, a fine tilth – and to reduce big solid lumps (to small solid lumps) requires some ingenuity. So instead of standing there bashing the clods into submission with a rake or fork, it was preferable to apply water, letting it soak in, then adding more and so on until it was just manageable. I know a pro-

40

fessional maintenance gardener who was having to water weeds during the dry spell in order to be able to remove them easily. Bet that looked good: the client glances out of the kitchen window to see the gardener watering a mass of couch grass….

A hot, dry spring was worrying in terms of the long-term effect on soil water. The reason? I was always told that rain between April and September never contributed to the reservoir of water in the ground: it evaporates (mainly) or is taken up by plants.

Well, that has to be a generalisation and several days of sustained rain even in the summer must make a difference.

Never mind – the dry spell is over now. It has rained, and it is raining as I write. What happens next? – will we be complaining of a washout summer or, in the boiling heat of August, will we look back fondly at that spell of rain we had back in May? It’s so exciting – even more so if you grow things.

helsea gold medal-winning designer Dan Pearson is also a pioneer of natural landscapes and landforms, a wild flower expert and a seasoned plantsman and columnist.

Now Dan has collated ten years of his writing to bring us a year-round celebration of the garden, both practical and inspirational, urban and rural, in his new book Natural Selection.

Of course, he has a plethora of favourite plants for all seasons, but here are some of those he wouldn’t be without.

SPRING  Epimedium “I have a whole collection and I love them because they have really interesting leaf mottling and colourings and very delicate flowers. I have European and Asian ones. Epimedium Caramel and E. x versicolor Sulphureum are two really good ones. They look good with the tail end of snowdrops and are good with things that are lower, such as creeping strawberries, and are pretty with a little grass called Melica altissima Alba.  Blossom “My favourite blossom tree is Malus hupehensis because it is scented, it has a very pale pink bud and pure white flower. It’s glamorous without being in-your-face. It’s graceful and it’s just at the beginning of its wonderfully long season because it reappears as berries or hips in the autumn. It’s just a really good crab apple, not too big for a small garden. I would put that with a backdrop of simple dark holly.”

SUMMER  Sanguisorba Cangshan cranberry “This tall and elegant perennial flowers from high summer until October. It’s good in association with other things because it’s got lots of

AUTUMN  Aster “Asters are so smart during the summer, just getting ready for their big autumn show so they never look tired. In August, the asters look terrific. One of my favourites is Turbinellus, which is lilac-blue and very late flowering, bearing tiny little flowers and very open sprays so there’s lots of space in it and I’d team it up with tall-growing vernonias or something like bronze fennel, which is going into its autumn colouring by then.”  Nerine bowdenii “These brilliant pink bulbs love a hot, sunny place, ideally against a south-facing wall.

They are never disappointing, flower for weeks and are really tough if they have free drainage and sunshine. I’d team them with Viola labradorica.”

WINTER

 Hamamelis (witch hazel) “You

can’t have winter without hamamelis. You get perfume, you get a blaze of colour, but it’s not heavy-handed.

There’s a range of different varieties.

I love Gingerbread, which is a lovely gingery-orange. I have it against a west-facing wall underplanted with snowdrops and marsh asparagus.”  Panicum Cloud Nine “I like ornamental grasses to stay standing and this panicum stood standing most of the winter for me. It grows vertically to six or seven feet, is silvery grey in the summer and produces tiny little plum flowers in late summer and goes this amazing plum-purple colour in the autumn. In the winter it goes a buff colour. I’d put it with something lower around it like catmint or low-growing salvias. It likes sunshine and dry conditions.”

transparency to it. It has very small rich red-burgundy drumstick flowers so you can use it with other things very effectively. I’d pair it with veronicastrum or Persicaria amplexicaulis. They are lovely with those verticals.”  Rosa eglanteria (sweet briar) “It’s just a common-or-garden thing which is super easy to grow. It grows in our hedges and its leaves have the scent of fresh apples. It produces single pink-flowered dog roses in the summer and beautiful autumn hips. I grow it in hedges with hawthorn and

BEST OF THE BUNCH EVENING PRIMROSE (OENOTHERA) The scented, deep yellow papery flowers of the evening primrose open at dusk and are pollinated by night-flying insects. Each flower may last only a day, but many more are produced all summer long.

They make neat plants that can be used as fillers in most borders, gravel beds or herb gardens and are a magnet for butterflies and bees. They need a sunny, well-drained spot to thrive and the flowers don’t always open in the evening but often during the day.

JOBS FOR THEWEEK  Keep new plants well-watered

in dry spells to keep them strong and make them less susceptible to disease.  Mow the lawn once a week if it’s growing, but in spells of hot, dry weather keep the blades high and leave clippings on the lawn to retain moisture.  Prune early-flowering shrubs such as Kerria japonica and Spiraea Arguta, which finish flowering on wood that was produced the previous year.  Keep on top of weeding and pay particular attention to pernicious weeds such as bindweed and ground elder.  Prune pyracanthas that are trained against a wall, cutting out shoots growing directly into or away from it. Shorten the others to about 8cm, which encourages the formation of short spurs that bear the flower buds and berries in autumn.  Prune clematis montana (pictured) once flowering is over.  Snap off spent tulip heads, but leave the foliage intact for about six weeks, which will enable plants to redirect their energy back into the bulb.  Plant out marrows and courgettes when all danger of frost has passed.  Remove runners from strawberries to preserve the plant’s energy.  Pinch out the tips of broad beans when they flower to discourage blackfly.

MICHOD

WHAT WAS BRAD PITT LIKE TO WORK WITH? I loved working with him. In our earliest conversations, we landed on a shared desire to do this thing as satire, to at least build the character he was going to play as satire. In part to embrace the absurdity of that world, but also, for me, to embrace what I think are Brad’s extraordinary skills as a comedic actor.

DID HE COME WITH AN EXTENSIVE LIST OF DEMANDS? No, Brad’s footprint is small. It’s quiet and it’s professional. You don’t have bugles trumpeting his arrival on set. Usually I’d only know Brad was on set because I’d look around and notice his make-up artist Jean Black.

YOU PREVIOUSLY WORKED WITH TWILIGHT’S ROBERT PATTINSON [IN MICHOD’S 2014 FILM THE ROVER]. HOW DID THAT EXPERIENCE COMPARE WITH THIS? There were a couple of paparazzi here or there with Brad. But the Robert Pattinson stuff is a whole other level, or at least it was back then; the Beatlemania stuff.

Literally screaming girls chasing

his car down the street. I had never seen that before. I had dinner with Rob three or four days ago and things are different for him now, in a really beautiful way. He doesn’t have to contend with that madness. Because that madness just doesn’t make sense.

THESE EVENTS ALL OCCURRED BEFORE DONALD TRUMP CAME ON THE SCENE IN US POLITICS...

WAR MACHINE IS PARTSATIRE, PART-DRAMA. HOW DID YOU WORK OUT THE BALANCE?

You couldn’t write that, and yet I feel the antecedents for that stuff were being written well before the events of last November. It’s not like Donald Trump arrived and suddenly we realised the world was crazy; I think it’s been getting crazy for quite a while.

I had been looking for a way into one of these contemporary theatres of war for a long time and I’d always assumed if I found a way, it would probably sit within my regular wheelhouse - brooding and dark and menacing. But I was struggling to find a way in.

I’d been doing so much research and was so profoundly fascinated by it all, the experiences of people, especially men, in those incredibly trying circumstances.

When Jeremy Kleiner and Dede Gardner from Plan B [Pitt’s production company] brought me Michael Hastings’ book [The Operators, based on his Rolling Stone magazine profile on Stanley McChrystal] I suddenly saw a way in. It was to do it as satire, but I didn’t feel like it was enough to

HOW DO YOU THINK TRUMP’S PRESIDENCY WILL BE DEPICTED ON SCREEN A FEW YEARS FROM NOW? I think this particular administration, this president and his kind of loopy cheer squad will actually make for incredible drama and satire in years to come, but it will be in the future, it won’t be now. Seeing Alec Baldwin play Trump on Saturday Night Live was hilarious and then by the fifth time it was like, ‘I can’t even watch this anymore’.

THERE ARE SOME GREAT BRIT ACTORS CAST IN WAR MACHINE - SIR BEN KINGSLEY, TILDA SWINTON, WILL POULTER. WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THEM? That was partly because we were filming in London, but also because they’re really good. We had three incredible days with Sir Ben Kingsley. And not just incredible for me, I think for Brad too. Brad had never worked with Kingsley before and loved it.

YOU PREVIOUSLY WORKED AS A JOURNALIST ON INSIDE FILM MAGAZINE. WHAT WOULD YOUR YOUNGER SELF MAKE OF YOUR SUCCESS? The steps have been so incremental that it doesn’t feel to me like I shouldn’t be here. But if you took me from where I was, back when I was working on that magazine, and plonked me in this room right now, talking about this stuff, I would be saying to you quite openly, ‘I don’t belong here, I need to go now, I’m frightened and I need to leave!’

GET TO THE HEART OF THE MATTER FOR AWARENESS WEEK

I

n June, it is National Heart Rhythm Awareness Week (June 5 to 11) and a consultant at Spire Bristol Hospital warns a heart beating faster than usual might be a sign of much more than just a flutter!

Palpitations – the speeding up or changing of your heart beat – can be caused by a variety of things and the excitement of seeing a loved one can be one of them. But in some cases they can be associated with much more serious conditions.

Dr Ashley Nisbet, a consultant cardiologist and cardiac electrophysiologist at Spire Bristol Hospital, explained: “You may feel your heart pounding or beating irregularly – often for just a few seconds or maybe minutes – or sometimes it seems like your heart missed a beat.

“These symptoms may seem alarming but, the truth is, in most cases they are quite harmless. However, they can also be a sign of more serious problems involving heart valves or heart muscle function.

“Some heart rhythm abnormalities, namely atrial fibrillation, can increase

a long time or occur frequently, or if they make you feel light headed or faint, I’d recommend you see your GP. They can then refer you to my clinic for assessment which will involve an ECG (electrocardiogram) and sometimes further tests to help clarify whether the palpitations are caused by an abnormality of the heart rhythm. When we understand what is causing the symptoms, we can then explore the treatment options,” she said.

the risk of a stroke in some susceptible individuals so it is important to detect this to allow us to treat patients to reduce their risk.”

Dr Nisbet has extensive experience in the assessment and treatment of palpitations and heart arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats).

She has particular expertise in ablation of complex atrial arrhythmias including atrial fibrillation and arrhythmias in adults with congenital heart disease, as well as expertise in the assessment and treatment of patients and families affected by inherited arrhythmia syndromes, such as long QT syndrome and Brugada syndrome.

She also has many years of experience of general cardiology including the assessment of chest pain, breathlessness, and syncope (fainting).

“It is wise to be aware of palpitations and how long they last and how often they occur.

“For many patients, simply eliminating caffeine and reducing stress is all that is required to settle symptoms down.

“If the episodes of palpitation last

“If you are worried about palpitations, then the worst thing you can do is to keep it to yourself. Most palpitations are not due to a life threatening rhythm problem and some simple investigations can provide great reassurance. However, some arrhythmias do require more specialised treatment and, as with so many health problems, the sooner we detect the problem, the better your treatment outcomes will be,” she added.

If you are looking for more information about abnormal heart rhythms, the causes, symptoms and treatments then you can book into Spire Bristol Hospital’s patient information evening. On Thursday June 29, at 7pm Spire Bristol would like to invite you to listen to a discussion by Dr Nisbet, who will talk to an open group about this topic. She will even be providing free pulse checks for those interested.

You can book a place at this event by calling Spire Bristol Hospital’s patient treatment advisers on 0117 980 4080 or by emailing info@spirebristol.com

DAVID CLENSY AND HIS FAMILY ENJOY AN ADVENTURE ON THE ISLE OF WIGHT

ON THE FAMOUS FIVE TRAIL A

s we made our way out of the Solent and the outline of the Isle of Wight’s northern coast emerged beyond the bow of the Red Funnel line ferry, my two little boys were beside themselves with excitement.

Our six-year-old bounced on the spot chattering on about all the things we could do across our long weekend away, while our four-year-old simply clenched his fists with a shudder at the thought of all the adventures that lay ahead.

You see, when you’re four and six it’s all about adventures. Whether you’re a pirate for the day or a train driver, the adventures are in a constant free-flow in your young imaginations, so to get the chance to live some of them for real is almost too exciting for words.

For lovers of Enid Blyton’s Famous Five, 2017 is a landmark year – 75 years since the very first book in the series, Five On A Treasure Island, was published, and as we drove off the ferry boat and trundled across the island, I couldn’t help but think there was something of the spirit of Enid Blyton at play in their bubbling excitement.

In their young minds, like Julian, Dick, Anne and George seven and a half decades before, the world was unfolding before them like a series of Blyton chapters, and on a few occasions during our stay, I could have sworn I heard the distant bark of Timmy on the wind.

Most of the gang’s adventures ended with lashings and lashings of ginger beer, but I thought that would be a better place to start – so over a handsome meal at the wonderfully welcoming Boathouse at Seaview, we planned our own weekend family adventure.

It should begin, we quickly decided, at full steam – so we headed straight to the village of Havenstreet, for a ride on the enchanting Isle of Wight Steam Railway. From the moment we stepped into the station, it was like stepping straight back to the time of Julian, Dick, Anne, George and Timmy.

With eyes as wide as saucers, our boys lapped up the scenery as our train cut a swathe of steam across the island’s rolling countryside. With a scream of the whistle and a moment of darkness through the tunnels straight out of an Agatha Christie novel, the scene was set for an afternoon of giggles.

Back at Havenstreet we explored the centre’s extensive steam train museum, before heading on to find our accommodation for the weekend – the Orchards Holiday Park in Newbridge, where a surprisingly plush static caravan became the headquarters for our family adventure.

The next morning we headed to Tapnell Farm, where the boys had their own adventures in the impres-

sive soft play area, while Mum and Dad enjoyed a coffee and a moment’s rest.

The farm’s living exhibits range from goats to wallabies, with plenty to keep young minds entertained.

We even came face-toface with owls and other birds of prey who were a visiting exhibit from the nearby Haven Falconry centre.

All in all, we were all feeling famished by the time we headed to the neighbouring Cow Co restaurant for a slap-up steak lunch. I checked out the drinks menu thinking we’d better start lashing out the ginger beer again.

Our final adventure came the following morning, with a trip to Carisbrooke Castle. One of the most important strongholds on the Isle of Wight since Saxon times, the castle was also the unwilling home to King Charles I from 1647-8, when he tried and failed to escape twice.

To walk into the bedroom where the miserable monarch rested his soonto-be separated head is a spine-tin-

gling experience whatever your age.

English Heritage now maintains the fascinating castle, with its epic ramparts overlooking much of the island.

We climbed to the top, up more than 80 steps to stand beneath the fluttering flag on top of the keep, as the Isle of Wight stretched out around us.

“Wow,” my two little boys said in unison as they looked out across the view, with smiles that beamed just like faces from the cover of an Enid Blyton adventure story.

‘We should expect to see wildlife wherever we are’ SPRINGWATCH IS SET TO BEGIN ANOTHER SERIES AND IT’S COMING FROM THE COTSWOLDS

W

hether it’s a photo of blue tits nesting in the garden or squirrels somersaulting through treetops, Springwatch fans avidly post their observations on social media.

But when it comes to audience interaction, the presenters’ most frequently asked question has nothing to do with wildlife.

“It’s usually about what we’re wearing,” sighs Michaela Strachan, who today is sporting a T-shirt with a rather cute illustration of a badger.

Such is the camaraderie and comedy of Springwatch, which is back on our screens for a new three-week wildlife watching bonanza (peppered with entertaining banter) from Monday, May 29.

Described by the BBC as a radical change, the team has swapped pristine nature reserves for a working countryside estate, with a new home at National Trust property Sherborne Estate in the Cotswolds. Built as a grandstand in the 17th century, the area is now used for farmland and tourism. By choosing a location accessible to the public, series producers hope to connect viewers with

glia with an overgrazed mono-culture,” scoffs Chris.

Michaela hints that the typically over-critical Springwatch film crew are already getting uncharacteristically over-excited about what’s in store for the next few weeks.

Nest boxes have been erected around the site, with the hope remote cameras will deliver live footage of barn owl chicks. But there’s one avian species that roving reporter Martin Hughes-Games is desperate to encounter. “For the last three years, I’ve tried to see lesser spotted woodpeckers, which I now think are made up,” he admits with frustration.

“It’s a woodpecker the size of a sparrow... apparently.”

Chris, of course, has seen several in his time and assures Martin luck may be on his side this season.

While he and Michaela hold fort at Sherborne, Martin will be travelling up and down the UK, filming pine martens and beavers in Scotland, meeting reintroduced red squirrels in the Scilly Isles, and tagging jellyfish.

The former producer, who is now part of the Springwatch furniture, has been overwhelmed by his growing fan base. Last year, when rumours

common animals from childhood books such as The Wind In The Willows and the Beatrix Potter titles, and for the first time, the team will also have a base for a full year, enabling them to chart the adaptations of wildlife to different seasons.

“One of the problems that blights us right now is that we partition our expectations,” explains Chris, who’s been with the programme since 2009.

“If we want to see art, we go to an art gallery; if we want to see history we go to a stately house museum.

“We’ve got ourselves into a state of mind where if we want to see nature, we go to a nature reserve, and that depresses me because we should have an expectation to see wildlife wherever we are.”

One of the team’s major aims is to give viewers a reality check on the health of the UK’s countryside, and look at how it can be managed in a sustainable way.

“Unfortunately, a lot of people look outside, see it’s green and think it’s OK. But I’m afraid it isn’t,” says Chris.

Fortunately, Sherborne has plenty of good bits... “We wouldn’t go to some agricultural desert in East An-

hinted he might be dropped from the show, a furious Twitter petition was launched to keep him on screen.

The team’s relative newbie Gillian Burke has also been out and about on location creating animal diaries, and says filming emperor moths on Dartmoor was a reminder she has one of the best jobs in the world.

“I got completely absorbed,” she gushes, recalling the recording of the UK’s only silk moth in breeding season.

“Hang on Gilly,” says Chris, interrupting her momentary idyll. “You were working with our best crew, the moths turned up and did their thing and it didn’t rain. You’ve just got lucky so far!”

The quick-witted 56-year-old presenter is known for his on-screen game playing, going off on a tangent and inserting song lyrics into conversations. “I thought I might do it again this year,” he muses. “The problem is my interest in music is relatively narrow in its scope, so there are lots of bands which I could do but no one else would know.”

PAUL HOLLYWOOD IS SWAPPING THE BAKE OFF TENT FOR THE OPEN ROADS OF EUROPE IN HIS NEW SERIES, HE TELLS SUSAN GRIFFIN

H

e might be known for his bread and buns but away from the oven, Paul Hollywood’s a petrol head and loves nothing more than racing cars.

“Baking is my career, it’s what I am. The whole presenter thing is an accident. I’m a baker by trade but my hobby was always cars,” says The Great British Bake Off judge.

He’s been passionate about motors “for as long as I can remember”.

“My dad used to have several cars growing up – nothing particularly special, but I just loved cars,” declares Paul, who shared his enthusiasm for motors on BBC programmes Racing Legends and Licence To Thrill: Paul Hollywood Meets Aston Martin in 2015.

The same year he represented the racing team Beechdean Aston Mar-

tin in the British GT Championship.

“When I was about 13, I fell in love with the TR7. Don’t ask me why, I just did. It was this chocolate one with chequered seats in a garage down the road from where we grew up in the Wirral,” he recalls in his familiar Liverpool twang.

“I used to go and watch this car every night and go and look at it because I just loved it.”

No wonder he describes his latest show, Paul Hollywood’s Big Continental Road Trip, as “a dream job for me”.

In the three-part series, Paul travels to Germany, France and Italy, endeavouring to understand more about each country through its love of cars.

“It didn’t feel like work,” he says.

“The travel was just amazing we went to some really beautiful places.

WHEN I WAS ABOUT 13, I FELL IN LOVE WITH THE TR7. DON’T ASK ME WHY, I JUST DID. IT WAS THIS CHOCOLATE ONE WITH CHEQUERED SEATS IN A GARAGE DOWN THE ROAD FROM WHERE WE GREW UP IN THE WIRRAL

50

I thought, ‘This is magic, it really is magic’.”

One of the most memorable experiences was driving around Italy in a Lamborghini alongside Strictly Come Dancing’s Bruno Tonioli.

“We nearly got arrested for speeding around Rome. He was petrified, bless him,” recalls Paul, who was particularly taken with Ivrea.

“It’s where we had the orange fight.

It was mental, it really was crazy.

Most of my clothes I had to chuck because they stink of orange. I smelt like a crepe Suzette,” he says, recalling his participation in the town’s annual Battle of the Oranges.

“The people are just so passionate about what they do, which is the point we were trying to make. Even though they’re just throwing oranges, it means something.”

In Germany, he stopped off to serve up some spicy food from the back of a VW van to some nudists.

“This is a country which is very formal. We think of them as very straight, no sense of humour, and yet this country started the whole nudist movement.

“We were in the Kombi van, just going there and spending a couple of hours with these people. They were very funny, absolutely hilarious. I didn’t know where to look. Never, ever take your eye off their eyeball.

Just keep your head in one place and look at them in the eye.”

Was he tempted to strip off? “When they told me, I went, ‘No, no, no. I’m not getting my kit off, it’s not going to happen’.”

Not even for his fans?

“They’d be disappointed if I did that!” he laughs.

Paul believes the show stands apart from others in the genre because “we’re trying to find out about the places as well as the people”.

“The cars were almost the transport to take me to the people, to learn about why Italians like supercars and hypercars,” he explains.

“The Germans – why do we think of them as quite stiff upper-lipped and all about the engineering, and things must last and [demonstrate] reliability? And why are the French very much socialist still? They don’t like bling, they don’t like sporty cars.

They’d rather have a great case of wine than a fantastic car sitting on the drive.

“You can find out a lot about the place and the people by the cars they drive – and how they drive.”

The series arrives after Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond’s The Grand Tour debut on Amazon and a second series of the revamped Top Gear, with Matt Le Blanc promoted to hosting duties following the departure of Chris Evans.

Paul insists he’s not disappointed he wasn’t part of the new Top Gear line-up.

“This programme was already in the making so it was difficult for me to get involved anyway. So, no, that was never a choice.

“I would rather do something different anyway, so I was happy carrying on with the Continental Road Trip.”

Besides, he’s keeping busy with The Great British Bake Off, having decided to move with the programme to Channel 4, despite former BBC colleagues Mary Berry, Sue Perkins and Mel Giedroyc standing down.

He claims he was unaware of the furore that ensued.

“I’ve been told by the press that it happened, so it must be true,” says Paul, who’s still in touch with his

‘It was the best filming I’ve ever done’

Paul with his old Bake Off colleagues – Mel, Sue and Mary

51

former judging partner Mary Berry.

“Why wouldn’t I be? There’s no reason for it [their friendship] to stop.”

He’s earned a reputation for being tough in the Bake Off tent, but that’s something he attributes to the programme-makers.

“It’s called editing,” he laughs.

“I’m very easy-going, quite chilled.

But at the end of the day if something’s wrong then I have to point it out because that’s my job. But tough, really? I judge muffins. How the hell is that tough?”

And in Continental Road Trip, he believes “people see the real me”.

“The laughing, the crying with laughter on many occasions, which I just don’t do on other shows.

“I felt more relaxed doing it. It was the best filming I’ve ever done. It’s such a giggle.”

FRANK SKINNER ON MUHAMMAD ALI 9pm, BBC1

BRITAIN’S GOT TALENT 7.30pm, ITV

Ant and Dec welcome another eight acts onto the stage. Only the most impressive will have a chance of performing for royalty later this year, and to add to the tension, judges Simon Cowell, David Walliams, Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon can still buzz off a disastrous contestant at this point in the competition.

The comedian explores the boxer’s life, meeting his brother, and visiting the training compound where he prepared for the Rumble in the Jungle.
