Omega landing One giant leap for mankind’s watch enthusiast.

I

t is now 50 years since mankind stepped onto the moon and changed history forever. On this golden anniversary, OMEGA is looking back on its own special role aboard Apollo 11 and the Moonwatch legacy that still inspires the brand today. On the 21st of July 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin stepped off the Eagle to become the first humans to stand on another world. To commemorate the 50th anniversary of that moment, OMEGA has crafted a new Limited Edition of 6,969 pieces inspired by Apollo 11.

The OMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch is one of OMEGA’s most iconic timepieces. Having been a part of all six lunar missions, the legendary Speedmaster is an impressive representation of the brand’s adventurous pioneering spirit.

and timeless design. And since the 21st of July 1969, when it was first worn on the lunar surface, it has been popularly known as the Moonwatch.

Enhancing a legacy Inspired by its legendary predecessor, the Speedmaster Moonwatch Chronograph is set to establish its own reputation. It shares some core elements with the original Speedmaster Professional but has features that will attract new fans to the world’s favourite chronograph.

Timeless - The speedmaster moonwatch chronograph Since its launch more than half a century ago, the OMEGA Speedmaster has been the classic chronograph, known for its robust reliability

W

hile he struggled with socializing in school, he had an interest in music from a very young age. He became part of a church choir at 4 and soon started playing the guitar. At 11 he was already writing songs, which was inspired by a backstage chat with Damien Rice. Not only was his love for music obvious, but also his talent started being noticed by others around him.

Trial As a kid, he had a surgery that went wrong and left him with a lazy eye and severe speech problems. Whenever he tried speaking up in class, his mouth would freeze and no word would come out. Other kids were mocking him about this. Soon, he stopped participating and raising his hand at all. Surprisingly, that wasn’t the case when it came to singing and making music. He enjoyed singing in the local church and shares that playing the guitar in his room was the only time he felt in control.

Speech therapy wasn’t going well and one of his biggest fears was that he’ll be like that for the rest of his life. But things changed when one day his dad brought him Eminem’s record.

Ed Sheeran was amazed by how fast the singer was rapping. This inspired him and he learned every word by the time he was 10.

Triumph He arrived in LA without a recording contract or a place to stay.

He began sending out his music to anyone he could reach out to, but received no answers.

Until one day, while on the show of a local radio host, he was brought to the stage.

Terrified, he started playing. 12 minutes later, he got a standing ovation.

hat is a true passion after all?

Well, perhaps it’s sneaking into the circus at the age of 6 under a tent flap with your chums. Only to be caught out and told to come back the next day to clean out the horse’s stables.

Not quite the dreaded forfeit you may agree. More like added excitement at the prospect of being even closer to the animals. An experience that by today’s standards would certainly have a health and safety officer gasping for breath not least where children are concerned.

Steve Cane, remembers his childhood with twinkly eyes as he recounts the Billy Smarts era of the circus. Billy Smarts is the name synonymous with the circus in the UK from 1946. It grew rapidly and became Britain’s largest traveling show complete with over 100 animals and top circus acts from all over the world. The Circus ceased touring in 1971, but televised performances continued until 1983, drawing audiences of up to 22 million at its height. Other circus shows namely Chipperfield, Hoffman, Sanger Circus illustrate a genuine passion for the circus that’s within Steve’s colourful imagination. Not to mention his death-defying acrobatic challenge on the Wheel of Death with Santus Circus in 2018 at the ripe age of 62.

Model making After some assured coaxing from his wife Jane, Steve started making models on the circus theme and has been doing so for the last 8 years. “Your good with your hands,” she said - “why don’t you put your skills to good use.”

Steve is a member of the Circus Model Builders group and on the committee for the Cuckoo Spring Fayre, Laughton.

Model Citizen Circus Archive The first modern circus was opened in 1768 by Philip Astley but some say that circuses as a way of public entertainment originate from ancient Rome and their “circuses”. The first modern circus appeared in the United States in Philadelphia in 1793 and its owner was Englishman John Bill Ricketts.

Philip Astley: The Father Of The UK Circus. The modern circus was created in England

by Philip Astley (1742-1814), a former cavalry Sergeant-Major turned showman.

During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, tight-rope dancers were the fairgrounds’ undisputed stars and were among the first acrobats to appear in the circus ring. There, they developed an adaptation of their art which would eventually become one of the circus’s most prized attractions: the trapeze.

Circus Conquers the World The circus is essentially a visual performing art and therefore unfettered by language barriers. As a result, it is easily exportable to countries with native languages different from the language(s) of the performers.

Early circus companies, realizing this, embarked on extensive international tours.

Circus of America In the early nineteenth century, the United States was a new, developing country with few cities large enough to sustain long-term resident circuses. Furthermore, settlers were steadily pushing the American frontier westward, establishing new communities in a process of inexorable expansion. To reach their public, showmen had little choice but to travel light and fast.

Mindful when eating

M

indfulness is based on ancient religious philosophies such as Buddhism and Taoism, where their teachings encourage you to notice your surroundings and understand the environment in which you are in. The teachings also stress for you to understand the emotions that you feel at any particular time point. These concepts may be applied to you and your feelings towards food and how you feel at meal times. As you will see there’s a lot more to it than just feeling hungry.

Getting inside your mind while enjoying your food

by Harry Fishpool. patisserie window.

Choosing and prepping food.

This component of mindful eating is knowing where your food has come from and treating it with due care and attention. This step starts by having a look at the packaging: has the food got air-miles? Is it free range/organic?

Are the portions small or large? These quick steps help you make more informed choices when choosing your food, and you will soon appreciate the journey your food has taken (and all the people that have made that journey possible) to be with you in your shopping trolly, and soon to be on your plate.

Being mindful when cooking encourages you to open up your senses and take note of what is happening in front of you. Observe

Recognising hunger.

This first aspect of mindful eating takes time to come to get to grips with. It is simply becoming aware of your body, the huger sensations, and knowing when it is the right time to eat and what the right thing to eat is.

Sometimes it’s best to think about the reasons why you’re hungry: whether your hungry because you’re used to snacking at this time, or if it’s simply just something to do. Am I hungry because I am genuinely hungry and I should eat, or am I hungry because that Danish pastry is screaming ‘eat me!’ from the

Harry says.....

how your food is transforming as you cook: the exciting smells, the changing textures, the evolving colours. Take a moment to really appreciate what is happening as you cook, and as you develop a deeper understanding of this process, you will enjoy your cooking far more.

Also, cooking is a time in which to slow down, and therefore, a time for you to slow down too. Even if your recipe is a 5 minute wonder job from Jamie Oliver, take your time about it.

After all, it will still only take 5 minutes.

Meal time.

The most important factor in eating mindfully is – you guessed it – developing a certain mindfulness as you eat. It is also the easiest to start off with. For instance, setting down your cutlery after every bite and taking note of the flavours and textures as you chew; does it taste the same way as it smelt? Are the textures the same as when you started cooking?

This is the time to build a healthy relationship with food. What are your emotions as you eat? Are they positive, negative or indifferent? Also, take note of the environment your eating in. When on your lunch break, are you in a busy café or have you found a quite secluded spot? It's important to make time to eat with others too.

Humans are a social species and food has been a cornerstone of or civilisation for millennia.

Eating with friends and family helps build

strong relationships and many argue that we are not doing it enough in our modern day society. Having an insight to how you feel as you eat can result in positive changes in the food choices you make and how, when and where you eat.

As you’ve finished.

Once you have finished your meal, it is really important to continue to listen to your body and understand what it is saying. This is the stage where you can avoid over eating. Ask yourself whether you are still hungry. Quite often we want to feel totally satiated (feeling full), but once have we reach that stage, we have often eaten too much. Knowing how you feel after a meal will help you control portion sizes and will help you to prevent binge snacking later in the day. Understanding your emotions around food and hunger will go a long way to improving your eating habits and help you build and achievable goals.

These steps take time to learn and master.

The best way is to take it one step at a time and don’t rush the process. Importantly, as you get better at understanding your emotions, you must also be mentally prepared if your feelings and emotions change down the line.

Understanding and being honest with yourself will allow you to make suitable dietary changes that you will benefit from in the long run.

Abbatars!

Mamma Mia! Blending cutting-edge technology, spectacular lighting, and some of the most beloved songs ever written, ABBA takes to the stage in a whole new way.

SCENE SET ABBA returns after 40 years with new music and a unique concert experience featuring their de-aged 3D ABBAtars. The Swedish pop group behind massive hits such as “Dancing Queen,” “Take a Chance On Me,” and “Mamma Mia” (you know that every part of that song is a hook!) is returning to the stage as digital avatars—or ABBAtars—to promote Voyage, their first new album in 40 years.

The cutting-edge concert used digital technology to take ABBA fans on a captivating time-travel experience during which the members of ABBA-Benny Andersson, Agnetha Fältskog, Anni-Frid Lyngstad, and Björn Ulvaeus-will perform a variety of songs from their latest album alongside a 10-piece band.

Taste buds awaken in the

n an unsuspecting corner of Hackney Central, East London, there’s a busy non-alcoholic soda brewery named Square Root London. From the street, all you can spy are a few empty crates and a large standalone chiller, but when granted access inside it’s a veritable Charlie’s Chocolate Factory of activity. Cases and cases of fresh fruit are strewn about the place, large cauldrons and vats are bubbling away with brightly coloured juice concoctions, and a smallish gaggle of staff enthusiastically discuss ideas for their next obscure soda flavour.

The man behind all of this is Ed Taylor.

“From the very beginning we wanted to focus on using fresh and seasonal produce. It’s easy to lose touch with seasonality when most fruit and veg is available year round from your local supermarket. So, we really wanted to get people thinking about when produce is at its best and what else might be in season when your favourite summer berries have finished.

Buying from UK farmers when they have the produce available is the best thing to do, and it keep things simple.”
