WELCOME TO OUR HOUSE Hello, and welcome to another edition of the indispensible House magazine. Yet again, we’ve had some shocking weather, believe it or not, it’s not my favourite subject, but only in England can we have baking hot sun, cold grey rain AND hail in June! This issue features some great ideas to liven up your workspace at home, inspiration to perfect your patio, BBQ accessories, help making your home feel your own, the Range Rover Sport road test, healthy eating, an interview with Lady Gaga and much more. So sit back, make yourself a nice brew, crack open the rich teas and get stuck in. You’ll find hundreds of properties to buy or rent in House and if you found your home in House, get in touch, we’d love to hear from you.

Whilst on the subject, I’d like to wish the Mitchells guys all the very best as they become ‘Winkworth’ this week.

This issue is dedicated to one of our most avid readers, my mother, who sadly passed away recently. Rose was an inspirational character who put up a brave fight against cancer and will be greatly missed by friends and family.

I’m sure we all know someone who’s been affected and the local Macmillan unit were a huge help for her, which is why I’m cycling the 100 mile ride with the AFCB team on 3 July.

Please help us by donating even just a pound at http://www.justgiving.com/AFC-Business, we have an ambitious target of £10,000 to reach for such a worthy cause, so please help us get there!

Lulubelle’s Cupcakes and Ollie’s Closet are teaming up for a joint venture that’s the first of its kind in Dorset. This exciting partnership will see Lulubelle’s move into a specially fitted kitchen at the back of Ollie’s Closet, a children’s clothes and toy retailer in Cardigan Road, Winton.

The idea was dreamt up by two entrepreneurs Louisa Harman, who started her successful cupcake business in 2010, and Nicky Hargadon, who founded Ollie’s Closet in 2008. They also hope to increase sales by sharing customers and plan to work together on future marketing and promotions.

“We want the kitchen to reflect Lulubelle’s personality so we’re going for pink walls and a gallery of photos showing some of our favourite cakes, as well as the cooker and worktops” comments

Patio pow er

Lu xury lounging

There's a superb choice of furniture and accessories which could transform even a drab, tiny space - with prices that won't raise your temperature by turning the bank balance red.

Blur the boundary between the indoors and outdoors with a space that's furnished with as much care and attention as a lounge. Ensure it's stylish by keeping a sharp eye on design as well as comfort. "Al fresco dining is one of the great pleasures of summer," says George Clarke, design consultant for B&Q.

Create some patio party razzmatazz with glow-in-the-dark furniture and vibrantly coloured gnomes, or be more demure with decorative wired pieces or classic rattan furniture.

And for outdoor decor divas there's the ultra-fashionable 'outdoor room' look with swinging cocoon seats, coffee tables and canopied loungers.

"Over the years we've seen a move away from functional, utilitarian garden furniture as customers demand a lot more from their outside space," says Nicola Gidlow, outdoor living buyer for John Lewis.

"People want a recognisable style, rather than random pieces, and a space which is tailored to their lifestyle and matches their interior taste.

"Also, what's emerging strongly this season is a trend for creating settings which conjure a holiday, exotic atmosphere that probably reflects a trend to 'staycation'."

Rob Fairhurst, managing director at Outdoor Chic, says patios are fast becoming the new 'play areas' for adults.

"There's a strong trend for kitchen/family rooms opening out on to a terrace or garden so the area's highly visible from the home, and that means people require the setting to have the 'wow' factor and be a focal point.

"Let's face it, secretly most people want to turn the neighbours green with envy with a sophisticated 'outdoor' room which is as comfortable as a lounge and enhances their property."

If you're wavering between wood and wire, or wrestling over rattan and wicker, make it simple by checking out perfect patio looks.

"An area of decking or paving with a pergola over the top will give a sense of enclosure and make it feel like an outdoor room. Zone areas by using structured plants in pots to give instant shape, character and interest."

Get the look Dark, woven Cobbo furniture set, armchair, two-seater sofa, and table and cushions, £799, from B&Q, which also has an excellent range of dining sets.

There's a terrific choice at Bhs: A stunning white-coloured woven Miami Corner Group, £1,599, and an ultra hip hang-out, the Cora hanging chair, £549. Also don't miss its innovative San Marino Hut, £2,499, a luxurious enclosed lounger.

Make a design statement with a curved Missoni Cordula Circular steel frame easy chair, with striking plump floral print cushions, £1,746 from Outdoor Chic; and banish dull skies in an instant with a Polynesia Pagoda parasol, decorated with tropical blooms, £145 from Heal's.

Country ga rden cool This is a quintessentially British look, redolent of soft green landscapes and the idyllic setting for lazy afternoon teas or sunset cocktails. "While classic squarer shapes will always remain popular, this season will see the re-emergence of the 'timeless curve'," says Heather McCann, creative director for specialist company Indian Ocean.

"Gentle lines provide a more sympathetic look for an outdoor space, especially in more traditional settings. If you want a different, but still suitable, interpretation, opt for a chic combination of white and wood, which is a key trend this summer."

Get the look: The gentle curved shape of the St Tropez range in grey synthetic wicker with bright blue cushions from John Lewis would fit the bill. Sofa and table, £999; chair, £399.

And Indian Ocean's Seville range has the winning pairing of white and wood: white carver chair, £139, and teak table, £399.

Alternatively, enjoy sipping a Pimms or have a tranquil teatime seated at a foldaway Bistro garden table with two chairs, £119, in subtle cream colour from Graham & Green. Make short work of stress by lounging in a traditional swing seat a Monaco Tree Swing Seat in teak, £975, from Burford Garden Company is sturdy as well as good-looking. And even if meadows and rolling hills or a Chelsea-style garden isn't your reality, fake it with outdoor art, this year's best-selling accessory for gardens. Graham & Brown has a selection of weatherproof canvasses, £35 each, with scenes of a poppy field, daisy meadow or tulips.

Hot tropics Turn up the heat in the garden with exotic florals, spicy hues and lightup furniture that makes a patio an irresistible entertaining space in the evening. "Colour and technology are the big story for patios," says Rob Fairhurst. "Furniture which incorporates lighting is fun but also highly effective at glamorising even modest patios and adding an extra dimension to the outdoors at night." <<< Get the look: If you're not on a budget, the Extremis Corral & Bronco High set, light-up table with stools (various colours available), is £3,260 from Outdoor Chic.

On the high street, both Bhs and Marks & Spencer offer impressive ranges. The latter's Pentium Light Up furniture changes colour by remote control: table, £149; stool £129; chair £199.

Tea-lights are so yesterday! Instead, get the glow with an eggshaped Ambiflame colour-changing, cordless, chargeable light, £49.95 from GSP. Gnomes are on the move - straight into the smartest gardens because they've gone from kitsch to ubercool. Marks & Spencer's cheery little chaps, £15 each, come in bright red or blue, while a Sainsbury's Gnome, £8.99, is more traditional in style.

5 Hit the deck It's hardly surprising that as an island nation we never tire of coastal style, and it's sailed in again this season. "Natural wood furniture, crisp blue and white fabrics for cushions and tablecloths and smart navy parasols have a timeless appeal and conjure an easy informality which is just right for relaxing," says Gidlow. "No matter what the location, it's easy to mimic that by-the-sea atmosphere with a few seaside accessories, from blue hurricane lamps, to stripey deckchairs and a barbecue bucket."

Get the look John Lewis's Garda hardwood range, with its curved retro lines, is so handsome it wouldn't be out of place indoors. Table, £499; bench, £350; and chair, £199.

You'll almost smell the sea breezes once you've added a Beach stripe deckchair, £34.99, and turquoise bucket BBQ, £14.99, both from Sainsbury's.

Garden Trading's ideal for beachcombers trawling for accessories, and the range includes a wooden Beach sign, £10. Light the way with a sky blue lighthouse lantern, £12, from the Contemporary Home, and scatter shell-shaped candles on a tabletop, from £6, from Heal's.

SYDNEY SUBURBAN VIBE INFLUENCES NEW SYNERGY SALON There are hair salons &…there are hair salons.

Some are places you go to get your hair done, others are social hubs where you leave looking a million dollars with a relaxed smile on your face, a story to tell and feeling thoroughly treasured.

Synergy is one of those rare breeds; quality styling and colour technique is a foregone conclusion with management who believe in training, nurturing and progressing its top-notch team. It’s the cream on the top which adds the value, those extra elements where the atmosphere is a bit special, the camaraderie between the stylists is entertaining and warm, and you get exactly what you went in for.

Sixteen years ago, Synergy was established in Poole High Street and, due to its success and significant following, a second salon in Blandford opened in 2008. Now in 2011, a third boutique salon has opened in Ashley Cross in Lower Parkstone making it the fastest growing independent in the conurbation.

Owners Colina and Steve Currell believe a business is nothing without the strength of its team. ‘Synergy on Parr Street’ is not only a grasped opportunity for the business, it is

also a chance for key stylists, Natalie Hole and Daniel Pryke, to evolve their own careers.

Salon manager Natalie is excited about how ‘Parr Street’ is already growing momentum: “Colina and I have both enjoyed time in Sydney and wanted that same boutique style reprieve we experienced in the city’s suburban salons for Parr Street. We’ve created a mix of bohemian and vintage contemporary in the salon space which is small yet full of character. Clients are noticing its relaxed, friendly vibe. Having worked for Synergy for seven years, I instinctively know what feels right; we’ve got our own little hybrid here in this lovely community.”

Natalie is supported by long serving, Synergy trained staff, senior stylist Daniel Pryke, junior stylist Chloe Lloyd and trainee stylist Alicia Nolan. They are offering the community a fresh approach to hair, served up with the Synergy philosophy of ‘love, touch and understanding’.

Daniel’s summary of the new Parr Street scene says it all: “Synergy is renowned for both cutting edge and classic hair design, coupled with stunning approaches to colour.

Mix that with a chilled space, an upbeat atmosphere and some seriously good customer service, and we’re pretty confident Parr Street is going to be as big a success as its two big sister salons!

Opening Hours Tuesday, Wednesday & Friday 9.00am till 5.00pm Thursday 9.00 till 7.00pm Saturday 8.30am till 5.00pm Find Synergy at 33 Parr Street, Ashley Cross, Parkstone – T: 01202 734455

solar PV...

What is Solar Photovoltaics and what do they mean to me?

Solar Photovoltaic panels or PV as it is known in the industry are flat panels that can be fixed to your roof or A-frames to allow you to produce your own electricity to power your property. The panels produce direct current which is converted to an alternating current by an inverter which is usually positioned in your loft, garage or other suitable location. This is then wired in to your main fuseboard, thus enabling you to utilise any electricity you make during day light hours.

Any 2 Vertical Blinds for £99

(2.0m width and 2.0m drop on this offer) 89mm louvres and quality track • Great choice of styles and colours • Any size of blind manufactured • Price includes VAT and fitting

How do I know if my house is suitable?

If your property has an east to west facing roof and has no surrounding trees or buildings that may create an over shading problem then it is highly likely that you would be a prime candidate to install Solar PV panels. This means that just about anyone can have them installed.

Should your roof not be suitable you can mount the panels on A frames in the garden as an alternative or on another building e.g. a garage roof.

How much does it cost and what will I save?

The initial outlay can vary depending on the size of your roof and the size of your budget. On average clients spend between £7,000 and £12,500 on a standard installation. The good news is that once it has been installed you will immediately begin to lower your electricity bills, the even better news is that the government will pay you 43.3p for every kW that you produce from day one and an extra 3p for each kW that you don’t use and is fed back in to the national grid. This tariff is guaranteed for 25 years and is index linked meaning it will increase with the rate of inflation. The current tariff means that you can earn up to £1,500 per annum and are likely to recoup your initial capital within 7-9 years. You will continue to make money for the remainder of the 25 year period with an approximate return of 8% on your investment, it’s a win win situation.

In order to maximise the financial benefits of PV you must try and use as much electricity during daylight hours as possible. If you normally put your dishwasher on after dinner at night, wait until the morning and switch it on before you go to work and the same goes for your washing machine. Remember you will never eradicate your electricity bill completely as you can not produce electricity when it’s dark, but by making a slight lifestyle shift you will maximise the benefits of your installation.

The other major benefit of a Solar PV system is that by turning your house into a mini power station you are also helping to reduce your carbon footprint and do your bit towards helping save our planet.

Q.

I have heard that I do not always need planning permission to extend my house or to build a garage. Is this true and what does it mean?

A

. You are correct house owners have certain planning rights without the need for formal planning permission, but the rules are somewhat complicated.

The general ethos behind the legislation is not to load up the Council with too many planning applications that simply do not matter or affect anyone other than the house owner. As a general rule, a house can be enlarged to beyond its original rear and side walls; however there are strict limitations for depth, width and how close you can build to a boundary.

This is regular column where readers can write in with any planning or property related questions & we will give our expert advice.

As to outbuildings, generally as long as these are single storey (i.e. under 4 metres high to the pitch) and are not forward of the house as seen from the road, they would not usually need permission.

As previously mentioned, there a certain number of strict limitations to all of these house owner rights, so you have to be very careful. For instance, whether or not your house is in a Conservation Area, where the restrictions are naturally greater and they do not apply to people living in flats.

Planning Solutions have always offered a free of charge initial meeting to discuss the planning merits of proposals and they can be emailed or phoned

There is very often more scope for people not to have to make a planning application than they may have thought, and this can extend to other things like swimming pools, solar panels and satellite dishes. But with the criteria being so complex, it is better to look at exactly what is involved in each particular instance. We at Planning Solutions would be happy to offer such advice at no initial cost.

Sponsored by Planning Solutions and hosted

by TV property expert Phil Spencer, Dorset’s very first Property & Architecture Awards ceremony took place with a black tie dinner on Wednesday 9th February. Over 300 regional business people made up the guest list with representatives from all aspects of the property sector, including architects, surveyors, estate agents and construction companies, all coming together to celebrate excellence in Dorset.

The high calibre of the award entries and excellent turnout at the event means that the Awards are set to become an important annual event on the property calendar.

Commenting on the importance of the property industry in Dorset, Phil said “You’ll find that something like 20 per cent of the county’s firms are involved in some aspect of the construction industry or real estate activities, that’s a hugely significant measure of just how important our industry is to the Dorset economy”.

Affordable housing Recent changes to affordable housing planning policy have greatly concerned local developers who have found the viability of their developments challenged by Local Authority guidelines on the provision of affordable homes within even the smallest of schemes.

Planning Solutions experience in dealing with such schemes has enabled us to win approval on several developments where we have either dramatically reduced, or in some cases, completely eradicated the contribution.

Affordable housing needs to be encouraged.

Our expertise means we are able to negotiate the best solution for each scheme to satisfy both the Local Authority and ensure a viable project for the developer.

Lego Storage

Keep your toys and clutter tidy in this square LEGO storage box in red.

T-shirt Chair

The T-shirt Chair is the winner of the Green Furniture Award 2011. It weaves together a meaningful story using worn textiles. This up-scaling of the classical ‘rag rug’ becomes a unique way of upholstering. In the original design by Maria Westerberg, T-shirts from forty friends together with other textiles such as grandma’s curtains, the favourite but now worn out jeans etc, melt together visually to form a colourful symphony of one’s personal history.

The manufacturer Berhin Studios produces now the T-shirt Chair mounted with a selected colour-mix comprised of left-over fabric pieces from sofa manufacturing. The T-shirt Chair is also available as a plain frame so you can personalize it with your own worn out clothes, precious t-shirts and other textiles. In that way the T-shirt chair will evolve and collect your personal history over time. £275, www.Bouf.com

Slend tables

The Slend Tables give a retro feel and a dash of colour with their back painted glass tops. Carefully considered colour combinations include; red for the console table and blue for the side table. The use of plywood with a walnut veneer makes the tables both strong and sleek whilst extremely elegant. The clear lacquer finish not only reinforces the pieces’ practicality but also adds to the feeling of luxe with its satin texture.

The Slend Console Table, Walnut is available for £149 (high street price, £435) and the Slend Side Table, Walnut is available for £99 (high street price, £249).

Stella Swinburne, McCarthy & Stone retirement apartment owner.

My story?

“Time and money. Two things I wish I had more of before I moved and now I have both I lived in a three bedroom bungalow before I bought my apartment but it’s amazing how the little jobs that need doing add up. I was forever forking out for someone to fix this or that. Now I don’t have to worry about a thing. I reckon I’m at least £50 a month better off since moving. No gas bills as everything is electric. Just one service charge means no separate water rates, no individual window cleaner or gardener to pay for. And as for external maintenance that’s all included. Even my personal alarm I used to carry with me is redundant thanks to the 24-hour emergency call system.

Saving money has also given me more time to enjoy myself and that’s worth more to me than anything else.

FIVE MINUTES WITH...

WINKWORTH ESTATE AGENTS HOUSE talks to Bournemouths new boys Winkworth Estate Agents who have taken family run business, Mitchells under their wing.

Mitchells are one of the leading Estate Agents in Bournemouth, with an excellent reputation.

So why change?

Mitchells have indeed enjoyed an unrivalled reputation; however, in this fast changing world of commerce we felt there were huge gains to be made as a result of being under the wing of a larger, International organization.

What do Winkworth bring to Bournemouth and Poole?

The immediate answer to that is exposure to both the National and International markets, enabling us to give our clients the very best sales platform to both promote and sell their property.

How will the new Winkworth business affect the existing Mitchells?

Will there be staff changes?

We have always prided ourselves on our low turnover of staff. Our current partners, who between them have over ninety years of experience, and our highly trained staff are extremely motivated and excited about the merger, so no, there will be no staff changes, with the exception of the Canford Cliffs Branch which currently have a new sales team in place.

Mitchells will be fazed out and the new business will continue to give existing clients the very highest levels of service. There will be particular benefits to our Canford Cliffs office with the ability of Winkworth to offer higher priced property owners, a much improved service through the strong connections with London and Internationally through their European and Far East offices.

Who are Winkworth?

years that although we deal with many local purchasers, more and more often, it is clear that many buyers are coming from London, the home counties and overseas. Winkworth provide us with the most unparalleled platform to capitalise on this obvious market trend which the local independent just cannot compete with. Currently Winkworth are receiving over 250,000 hits on their web site per month.

So, what for the future?

The future is extremely exciting. We now have the most professional and motivated staff allied to a major London, National and International Estate Agency and even in this difficult market, we are confident of becoming the most successful estate agency in the Bournemouth and Poole area, building on the success that we already enjoy.

And to sum up

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an interesting question and one that we asked ourselves when choosing who to potentially merge with. As you can imagine there were several large estate agency organisations that were keen to associate with us. We chose Winkworth because they are a very well run and established Estate Agency specializing in selling all forms of property through their superb London, National and International connections. They are also very professional in their attitude and this sits very well with our own business ethics and philosophy.

With regard to marketing, will Winkworth be offering anything special?

Absolutely yes! They have committed a huge advertising budget locally, dedicated to promoting property being sold through Winkworth They also have special connections with renown publications like Country Life and are often given editorial in the major national newspapers, in fact over six million pounds worth of free editorial only last year, all of which will expose our clients property to a far larger audience than that of just the local market.

This was a huge influence in making our final decision as we have come to recognise over the

Well, to sum up, this is taking Mitchells to a new level and even in this market, the staff within the new Winkworth offices are so excited and motivated by the step up, that they cannot wait to hear from anyone who may be considering selling, letting or buying property. We now have over eighty offices throughout the UK and extensively in London (fifty eight Offices within the M25) plus Europe, Hong Kong and even the Caribbean. All are closely linked so we can use those connections to sell any property!

If you are considering selling or letting and would like advice from a team of experienced professionals, call us on 01202 767 633, or email us at bournemouth@winkworth.co.uk.

Make your home your ow n It can be hard to decide on a style for your home & you can end up swinging between shabby chic & gorgeous glamour. HOUSE gives expert advice on picking a look.

Decorating can be a tricky task these days with a dazzling array of styles, designs and influences on offer: from shabby chic to crazy colour, gorgeous glamour or even full-on confusion!

But tailoring a space into somewhere that speaks volumes about your personality and taste doesn't just serve to impress visitors - more importantly it also turns it into a home. "It's usually when people move away from home into their first property that they realise the potential of a place where they can truly express themselves and let their imagination run wild," says Joanna Copestick, co-author of a brilliant new guide to designing a home, Decorate. "Discovering your style sensibility and why you are

attracted to certain things is one of the most joyful and emotionally freeing processes of decorating.

"But all too often people are nervous about experimenting, or feel so overwhelmed by the trends and looks that they struggle to find one to suit their identity."

In reality, she points out, it only takes a little bit of time and research, and the essential ingredients for an individual home recipe will soon become apparent. "Deciding on a personal style is so often about living with what you love, whether it's a collection of paintings, favourite furniture styles, colours that inspire you or objects that hold a special significance. Run with your instinct and you won't go wrong," says Copestick.

Starting out Ideally, before starting any scheme, the experts suggest you turn detective by collecting cuttings from magazines of photos of rooms you're attracted to, as well as pieces of fabric, and working out what you're instantly drawn to on colour charts.

"Create a personal checklist of what matters to you. If you love light, make sure you place furniture close to windows to enjoy the view," says Copestick.

"If you're always in the kitchen, ensure it's a place where friends can hang out too, and if you enjoy a sense of space, think about banishing some walls in favour of sliding screens or glass doors."

Most of all, she urges: "Stay on the look-out for the 'ah-ha!' moment when you walk into a space and instantly feel connected."

Check out the designers' advice on creating three key looks.

using colour

90

Using colours is one of the most personal styles of decorating you can undertake.

"It's so individual but remember nothing's wrong - one person's favourite vivid turquoise or sugar plum pink can be another's idea of excess in the taste department," says Copestick.

"While a pale neutral palette beloved of many professional decorators may seem like a bland compromise to those who love bolds and brights."

Think outside of the box as well, she advises, as colour need not necessarily be painted on walls.

If a room is bland and box-like, incorporate an interesting focal point featuring colour, whether it's a mantel shelf for a display of colourful china, a large piece of free-standing, vibrantly-painted furniture or a stunning piece of art to take up one wall.

In a large room, where you want to enhance a sense of enclosure and seclusion, opposing walls can be painted the same colour. Alternatively, a wall painted up to dado height in a vivid colour with white above is a good way to live

with some colour without feeling overwhelmed by it.

"Jewel-bright sunlit rooms can stand big, bold shades of fuchsia or topaz, so go with the colourful vibe if light is not an issue," says Copestick.

"In a room dominated by neutral colours, add in vivid contrast colour as accents on upholstery, cushions or artwork.

Strong tones such as orange, citrus lime or red work well as vivid jolts of colour in this way."

Designer tip: Writer and designer Rita Konig believes that painting walls grey has a similar effect to dressing in black and white - it's versatile and always stylish, allowing you to embellish the overall effect with small dashes of other colours in accessories from paintings to colours.

"One of my favourite colours is a pale grey from the Paint Library, London, which is a great foil for many other colours. Combined with pink and green it can create a very soothing and warming scheme," she says.

Glamour Modern glamour's all about making a statement and preserving a sense of cool at the same time, says Copestick. Mix dramatic furniture with pale neutral colours, using glamorous materials such as velvet or marble in rooms with simple furniture layouts, or place unexpected pieces of furniture alongside one another to create an interesting rhythm. "For a modern glamour masterclass, gather together furniture that is a mix of glossy white, reflective steel, hard-edged but luxurious marble and in a range of decorative styles."

Luxury, she says, goes hand in hand with glamour which means deliciously tactile textiles. "Think of rich velvet or chenille used in combination with damask or textured linens in bold colours, graphic patterns or stylised floral designs," she says. "Wallpaper always adds glamour and visual interest to a space. Keep it confined to one wall or one part of a room for the most impact."

Designer tip: Designer Niki Jones says: "Cushions enliven a room scheme and give it personality.

Hand embroidered and vintage pieces become cherished heirlooms, inspiring colour palettes and room themes, and adding originality to your home."

Flea market style Whether you call it junk, or simply 'old stuff', there's no doubt that flea market chic's time is now. "The idea of living with second-hand furniture and objects is as fashionable as the latest outfits from the latest Paris catwalk show," says Copestick.

To be on trend, retro Fifties and Sixties style is in vogue. But feel free to indulge your own passions whether it's for items such as a 1930s clock or a 1970s tea service as well as that 1960s wood-framed sofa.

If your eye immediately fixes on a battered cabinet across a crowded junk shop floor then you'll find it hard to go home without it," she says.

"Trust your instinct and buy only items that you are really attracted to from the start.

Use smaller flea market finds to embellish existing items, perhaps antique handles to dress up a chest of drawers, vintage plates displayed on a shelf, or fabric from old curtains turned into striking cushion covers."

ASK THE property EXPERT

Q A

Earlier this year the combination boiler in our rented house stopped working, so we had no hot water or central heating. We rang our landlord and he said it had happened before and said we needed to top up the water pressure in the boil via small tap on the boiler. We could not find this tap anywhere and called him back. He then said he was not prepared to pay a plumber to come out for such a small task and said he would come over the following day. Five days later he turned up saying he had got something in his eye and had to go to hospital and could not drive.

Meanwhile we had had no heating and no hot water for almost a week during one of the coldest parts of the year. Can I refuse to pay rent for those five days or reduce my rent, or even end my contract early?

It is the landlord’s responsibility to ensure that the boiler is working correctly for the provision of hot water and heating - under the statute of section 11 of the Landlord & Tenant Act 1985. The landlord is expected to attend to the problem within a reasonable amount of time, once he is notified of the problem. In this case, it appears that the boiler cut out due to a drop in water pressure. The landlord should have attended to the problem by showing you how to bring the water pressure up to the required level, and then you would have then known how to rectify the problem in the future. The landlord has now resolved this problem but you were without water and heating for five days. You could try and negotiate with the landlord about paying a lower rent for that period but I would not advise you to stop paying rent for that period as it would lead to rent arrears.

You can follow us on our blog through out website www.moveonrentals.com, on twitter and now Facebook. If you would like to receive our free newsletter with up to date advice on the Industry news and legislations then please email us on info@ moveonrentals.com and ask to be added.

Road test– Range Rover Sport

138

There are two improved engines on offer including a 3.0-litre TDV6 diesel and a range-topping 5.0-litre Supercharged V8 which generates 503bhp and can make 0-62mph in five seconds.

When a car is labelled ‘Sport’ it’s no longer the case that’s it’s all about performance and the new engines not only boast substantial increases in power and torque but also lower emissions and reduced fuel consumption.

Changes to the chassis include Active Damping and a full Brembo brake system that does a great job of bringing the burly Range Rover to a quick stop.

Taking all that was good about the mighty Range Rover and, through the work of the designers, presenting a slightly more youthful appearance, it sought to tempt buyers away from rival offerings that were perceived to be more contemporary in looks and image.

And highlighting the youthful angle is appropriate considering Land Rover has updated its junior Range Rover. It’s also appropriate that the car’s visual appearance has changed slightly.

Call it a nip and tuck if you like, the Sport’s nose has been softened. Gone is the stark radiator grille, in its place a more cohesive nose and bumper arrangement. The Front and rear lights are now LED - with a smoked-effect finish at the back and subtle daytime running lights.

These details all amount to a sleeker, less fussy and more sophisticated ‘look’, and one that

does much to help promote Land Rover’s desire to be viewed as a smart, fashionable brand.

The changes continue inside, with the focus very much on improving the car’s premium ambience.

Gone is the dark plastic centre console, in its place a soft touch, colour coordinated central fascia.

There’s upgraded leather on the seats, soft-touch textiles and the array of electronic equipment including the adoption of a TFT colour screen.

Other new toys include five cameras to assist with parking which provide a 360-degree view of the car when reversing. There’s also a system that detects oncoming cars and dips the headlights for you. There’s a clever multimedia system with screens for back seat passengers and there are heated and cooled seats all round.

Indeed, the Sport’s cabin is now on a par with that of a conventional executive saloon.

It’s certainly spacious enough, while the Sport’s trump card - lofty driving position - will likely be a deal-clincher for some.

Of course, one pretty important reason to get the Sport over any conventional saloon is the car’s all-weather and all-terrain ability. For some the latter will rarely be exploited, yet the underlying ability is nothing short of breath-taking.

It’s helped in no small way by the Sport’s engine line-up. Predictably diesel dominates here, and while the beefy Supercharged petrol V8 is now faster and more powerful (and cleaner, too) it’s the new TDV6 motor that’s destined to grab

all the headlines.

The flagship TDV8 might offer lots of power and torque, but the TDV6 delivers an experience that might be close enough for some.

Punchy when it comes to overtaking and powering out of corners yet quiet on the motorway, this new TDV6 puts the ‘lesser’ diesel Sport back on the map.

Of course all this power makes off-roading a breeze. The smooth auto gearbox makes life inching over obstacles easy enough for novices to feel confident, while the various electronic aids help take your mind of the complicated stuff and allows you to concentrate on the muddy track ahead.

Land Rover’s now familiar Terrain Response system really does make off-roading a doddle.

Simply dial up the terrain - mud, snow, sand etc - and transmission, differential and suspension settings are taken care of and adjusted when necessary. It’s no wonder the car is popular when off-roading is made this civilised.

And that’s certainly a good way to sum up the Range Rover Sport: civilised. With the premium ambience ratcheted up a few more notches and the car’s already peerless off-roading given a further polish, you don’t need to look anywhere else as nothing comes close.

FEATURES Model: Range Rover Sport 3.0 LR-TD V6, from ÂŁ55,145 on the road.

Engine: 3.0-litre turbo diesel unit developing 245bhp.

Transmission: 6-speed automatic transmission as standard, driving all four wheels.

Performance: Maximum speed 120mph, 0-60mph 8.8 seconds.

Economy: 30.7mpg.CO2 Rating: 243g/km.

HEALTH & FITNESS

THE LATEST TIPS FOR LOOKING YOUR BEST

Are you what you eat?

Headaches, bloating, insomnia and poor immunity: Maria Cross, author of I Wish I Hadn't Eaten That, attributes all of these common health problems to poor diet.

Do you suffer from persistent headaches, a lack of energy or stomach problems?

If medical tests have ruled out anything serious, then the solution could be simple: take a close look at what you're putting in your mouth.

Some nutritional experts believe a whole host of common ailments may be linked to our diet, as a result of problems including food intolerances, blood-sugar level imbalances and fatty acid deficiencies.

And if that's the case, once you've identified the culprit food(s), they suggest some chronic health problems could theoretically disappear.

Nutritional therapist Maria Cross firmly believes that diet is responsible for many everyday health problems. In her book I Wish I Hadn't Eaten That she identifies 20 common health niggles, together with the dietary problems that may be causing them, and what to do about it.

The 20 problems are: acne, lack of energy, weight gain, food cravings, constipation, poor circulation, diarrhoea, insomnia, bloating, poor memory and/or concentration, frequent colds, mood swings, aching joints, pre-menstrual syndrome, mild depression, period pain, dry skin and/or eyes, skin rashes, headaches and water retention. "Diet is often associated with serious problems like heart disease and cancer, but what a lot of people don't realise is that it also affects you further down the scale with smaller symptoms, and even your mood," she says. "In consultations I see the same things over and over again. People suffer with them for years, have often been to their GP and not found out what was causing their symptoms, and have just learned to live with them."

She says the most common symptom of a dietary problem is being tired all the time. This, she suggests, may be caused by a food intolerance, blood-sugar imbalance, adrenal fatigue, fatty acid deficiency, mild hypothyroidism, dysbiosis (bacterial imbalance in the gut), or leaky gut syndrome (where bacteria and toxins pass from the gut into the bloodstream).

The most common cause of many everyday health worries is food intolerance, she says, and suggests identifying a possible intolerance by keeping a diary of everything you eat and drink, then eliminating a suspect food and seeing whether it makes any difference to your symptoms.

The most common food intolerances tend to be lactose, as suffered

by Victoria Beckham and Orlando Bloom, and wheat, suffered by Geri Halliwell and recently identified as a problem by tennis ace Novak Djokovic, who credits his recent winning streak to a new gluten-free diet (gluten is found in wheat, barley, rye and oats). "So many symptoms can be down to a food intolerance," says Cross. "Anything from low energy to aching hips, headache and digestive problems. It's extraordinary the range of things that intolerance can be linked to."

There are also other dietary problems to watch out for, adds Cross.

One is an inability to maintain even blood-sugar levels, which can cause symptoms including headaches, poor memory and concentration, and mood swings.

142

Skipping meals, frequent snacking on sugar-rich foods, and a low fibre intake can all lead to erratic blood-sugar levels. The problem can be addressed by eating regularly, having protein at every meal, and avoiding added sugar.

Another diet devil is identified by Cross as fatty acid deficiency, which she says is linked to dry skin and eyes, pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS), fatigue, depression, as well as poor memory and concentration.

If such symptoms sound familiar, and your diet is low in omega-3 foods such as oily fish, nuts, seeds and leafy green vegetables, then increasing your intake may help.

Cross stresses: "You do have to be committed, and certainly most people who decide to address these health problems are simply fed up.

They've had them for so long that they'll do anything to stop them."

However, Margaret Rayman, a professor of nutritional medicine at the University of Surrey, warns that anyone altering their diet in an attempt to alleviate physical problems should be very careful, and consult a registered dietician if they're cutting out food groups.

She says: "Certainly some minor ailments are amenable to dietary treatment - although whether you can diagnose yourself is quite another matter."

She points out that modern diets mean most people eat too little of the good fatty acids like omega-3, and too much omega-6 (found in vegetable oil), which can hinder the good effects of omega-3.

But she questions whether this low intake of good fatty acids should then be associated with certain minor ailments.

"You can't be too simplistic about these things," she warns. "A lot of health problems are multi-factorial. "Take lack of energy, for example it's something that patients see GPs about all the time, but I don't think you can say it's simply due to certain aspects of diet."

She points out that many more people think they're intolerant to certain foods than actually are, and stresses that excluding foods from the diet can lead to nutritional deficiencies. "Excluding food groups can be risky, as you can be excluding things that you may need. It's tricky and you should consult a dietician."

She says increasing the intake of omega-3 fatty acids, found in oily fish, increasing fruit and vegetables and complex carbohydrates, and avoiding saturated fats and trans-fats are among dietary measures that can help general health.

But Rayman queries whether there's academic evidence proving specific dietary changes can affect particular minor ailments.

"People are more inclined to do studies and collect evidence on serious illnesses like cancer, but to what extent are they looking at bloating, frequent colds, etc? Does anybody do research on that?

"Are there good quality studies on these things? That's the basis on which academics would make dietary recommendations."

LadY GagA 152

She's the biggest popstar on the planet, & released a new album in May. We track down Lady Gaga for a rare interview to find out more about Born This Way & get some insight into her self-styled world.

"There are a lot of artists who put out number one single after number one single," says Lady Gaga, in her hotel room hours before going on stage for an impromptu one-off performance of her newest hit single, Born This Way. "But they don't sell any albums," she adds pointedly.

It's the start of the next colossal wave of publicity for Gaga as her second album is about to be released. Sales are certainly not a problem for Gaga, born Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta. Her first album Fame Monster set the record for digital album sales and the LP of Born This Way sold more than 100,000 copies in one day and that was just in the UK. Lady Gaga learned to play the piano aged four and at 14 was performing at open mic nights in her home city of New York.

She walked away from a degree course at the distinguished Tisch School of The Arts three years later and began writing songs professionally for bands such as New Kids On The Block and Pussycat Dolls, before heading to Los Angeles and recording her first album.

It can be very easy to forget Lady Gaga makes wonderful music. Just Dance, Poker Face and Born This Way might have been international hits, but she's more often discussed for wearing meat dresses and turning up at this year's Grammys in an egg.

For the release of Born This Way, she's plumped for prosthetic bones in her face, creating an otherworldly visage that looks part-alien, part-plastic surgery disaster. "To put it bluntly," says the unbluntly-cheekboned singer, "the choices on where the bones have been coming out of my face are based on that idea that they're specifically where people have plastic surgery done when they get older." If she keeps the look up, she's in for a trying few months in make-up, because she's talking about releasing a Michael Jackson-esque nine singles from the album.

But while nobody will ever look like Lady Gaga, more importantly, no one else sounds quite like her either.

Influences range from Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel, to hard German electronic dance music, and the results are quite unique.

What's most refreshing is that in a world of what Gaga describes as "plastic popstars" she's doing it all her own way. "I don't have a record label behind me going, 'You have to put this out, you have to put that out'," she says.

"I played them the album, they heard songs they knew could be singles, they were happy."

While other A-listers are calling in the same, tired old producers and songwriters, Gaga's been working mainly with comparatively unknown producers Fernando Garibay and DJ White Shadow.

Apparently the secret is simple: "Every single song on this album can be played on the piano," she murmurs.

Hanging out with the three of them in her dressing room, it feels like they've bonded into an incredibly tight unit during the recording of the album, and Gaga puts it down to the fact they all found themselves on uncool fringes when they were growing up. "It's nothing short of revenge of the nerds when it comes to Fernando, White Shadow and I," she explains. "All three of us, we're part of that same mentality."

She talks about how one of the album's big themes is about how you deal with having been bullied as a kid, later on in life.

"Maybe that's the reckoning with this album. Do I want to be one of them or not?"

Aside from such self-reflections, Gaga insists everything she does is for her fans - those 'Little Monsters' who hang on the every word of 'Mother Monster'.

During her record-breaking, 201-date Monster Ball tour, which finally ended last month, she saw "a couple of real meat dresses".

"They stunk as bad as mine did," she laughs. "I've also seen a lot of red tie-dye. Fans know how to express the idea of meat through fashion with a white t-shirt and some tie-dye. "So if I wear a meat dress, they will tie-dye a white shirt and wear a steak on their head. It's like a garment metaphor. They're very funny, very clever and very smart. That's what I love most about being on stage."

And did she see many people turning up in eggs?

"A few," she smiles. "I saw lots of prosthetics on people's faces. The first few rows at my shows are all the super-fans so there are lots of piercings in lips, ears, shoulders... "It looks like a disco. A Seventies underground disco." "It's not just kids, who feel disenfranchised, who listen to my music, all sorts of people do," she says, understanding there's no point in preaching acceptance if only minorities feel comfortable at Gaga shows. "I love the fact my music gets played on a pop radio station and people from all sort of different walks of life love it," she says. "That's the whole message behind it!"

Lady Gaga might not always hit the mark and certainly takes her fair share of negative publicity, but it seems clear that however aggressive her detractors might be, she'll always be her own fiercest critic.

"Every single thing I do is being compared to legends," she says calmly. "I'm not being compared to contemporaries, I'm being compared to people who've been around for 30 years. I feel that I'm still very young as an artist."

In a world of style over substance, it looks like pop has finally found someone who's got both.

new tricks — old fossils bbc one

Detective Superintendent Sandra Pullman and her unconventional team of ex-detectives are back for a new series. Gerry Standing, Brian Lane and Jack Halford may bend the rules, ignore procedure, take risks and follow their hunches, but they get results.

When pathologist Bob Ruxton is suspended on the grounds of negligence UCOS are forced to reopen one of his cases. Dr Bernard Fletcher, a senior palaeontologist specialising in fossil birds at the Natural History Museum, was found dead following a corporate event in the Central Hall. The original autopsy stated his death was the result of a fall, but a new examination of the post-mortem suggests he sustained a single blow to the head.

According to his colleague Madeleine Simmonds, Dr Fletcher was a respected but outspoken scientist with a knack for rubbing people

up the wrong way. Passionate about the planet, his views were often at odds with those of the museum, particularly their courting of sponsorship from companies such as Mondial Fuel, hosts of the corporate dinner held on the night of Fletcher's death.

The investigation takes an unexpected turn when the team discovers Fletcher was embroiled in an affair with a colleague and that he was also gathering damning evidence against Mondial Fuel.

With unprecedented access to the Natural History Museum, the UCOS team find themselves literally walking with dinosaurs, but it's the valuable fossils at the museum that catch Standing's eye. Could a long-forgotten gift from his father change his fortunes?

Detective Superintendent Sandra Pullman is played by Amanda Redman, Gerry Standing by Dennis Waterman, Brian Lane by Alun Armstrong, Jack Halford by James Bolam, Bob Ruxton by Trevor Bannister, Madeleine Simmonds by Vicky Pepperdine and Sarah Winslow by Natasha Little.

restoration home bbc2

Caroline Quentin follows owners of crumbling historic buildings as they save them from ruin by restoring them into 21st-century dream houses.

With the help of architectural expert Kieran Long and social historian Dr Kate Williams, the historical and architectural gems begin to reveal their intriguing pasts.

For Caroline it's a labour of love – she has a deep passion for old buildings and admits to being a serial home restorer over the last decade.

She says: "I love old buildings and I always have.

I've spent many years restoring various different properties in an attempt to create the perfect family home so I know from personal experience the hard path that our families have chosen to follow."

The buildings include a Gothic church, a mid1900s pumping station, a medieval manor, a 17th-century mine owner's house, a Queen Anne country residence and a Georgian stately home.

four of a kind monday 20 june, 9pm

158

The Carles household is home to one of Britain's most extraordinary families: Meet Ellie, Georgie, Jessica and Holly - the UK's only identical quadruplets.

The Carles quads are miracles of nature, conceived against odds of 1 in 64 million. They are identical, monochorionic quadruplets - super rare babies formed when one fertilized egg splits four times creating four identical embryos all sharing the same placenta. The odds of their survival are so small that just one other set of identical monochorionic quads is known to be alive in the world today.

Over a period of months, the Carles family allow cameras into their Bedfordshire home to follow these miracle girls in the run up to their fifth birthday, sharing with them some of the

milestones of their lives from Christmas, to their first swimming lesson to their first day of term.

The programme also explores how the girls are growing up and changing, and using psychological testing it examines how different the quads really are. And for Mum Julie, a trip to America to meet some teenage identical quads gives her a glimpse of what the future holds.

“I think as they grow, they develop, and their differences become more different, I think our lives will probably be busier, maybe more complicated,” says Julie when she comes back from visiting the teenage quads. “The homework, how are we gonna do four different sets of homework? There’s the wanting to look different, the peer pressure from other friends, the different friends they might have, boys, oh my God! Boys!”.

This is an intimate portrait of an extraordinary family that tries to answer the big question what's it really like to be Four of a Kind?

Penn And Teller are here to fill the gap left by Britain's Got Talent on Saturday, June 18 on ITV1.

They tell all about their large-scale magic show, their unlikely friendship with Jonathan Ross and how pleased they are about having faithful British fans — by Lisa Williams Despite the resurgence of magic on TV, with shows including Magic Numbers, Impossible and Lenny Henry's Magicians breathing new life into an old art, its scope still appears to be limited.

Any magician worth their Magic Circle membership will be able to tell you how most of the standard tricks are done, so it's with great modesty that double act Penn & Teller set up the format of their latest show.

In Penn & Teller: Fool Us, the pair - short, lean Teller (his full name) and tall, broad Penn Jilette -

the kids are alright

wednesday 22 june, 10.35pm, itv1 According to the television and newspaper headlines, Britain’s kids are out-of-control. This powerful one-off documentary goes behind the media hype to discover six inspirational stories – and explains why far from condemning our kids, we should be celebrating them.

The day-to-day life of service children is a far cry from a care-free childhood. At the start of this year, almost 5,000 children had a parent serving in Afghanistan. The film follows one of them, 11-year-old Daniel, who explains, with a maturity beyond his years, what life is like when your Dad’s away. “Will I see my dad again? That’s the main worry at school,” explains Daniel.

15-year old Sarah shares a similar maturity she has grown up caring for her severely disabled mother. She is one of what is estimated to be as many as 700,000 Young Carers in the UK who are providing personal care to someone at home. She

"The British are in essence the same. In fact, British audiences may have more reverence for the art of magic," he says. They even credit our own Paul Daniels as one of their inspirations.

Listing his favourite magicians, Penn says: "We love the old masters: Jay Marshall was a great and funny magician who got our sensibilities when we started out in the Seventies. Paul Daniels is great, and of course Johnny Thompson who works on our show. He's a legend - the Yoda of magic!"

"

show us something different & fresh

"

just the trick

challenge British magicians to impress them with their most amazing tricks and win the chance to perform alongside them on stage in Las Vegas.

If the duo can work out how the tricks are performed, the magicians are shown the door. But if they can fool the professionals, then they're in with a chance of winning.

Penn says the format is far less confrontational than it sounds. "It's a reality, performance competition show, but in a much sweeter way.

No one is being judged, these are the UK's best magicians already, they just have to fool us," he says in his Massachusetts drawl.

Having been in the profession together since the Seventies, they craved the opportunity to feel genuinely amazed by the art they've already mastered, but Penn says they "didn't really get the right hook for it" until last year.

That hook came in the shape of Jonathan Ross, who refers to the double act as "the Little and Large of the magic world" and to himself as "one of Penn & Teller's biggest fans" since first seeing them perform in New York more than two decades ago.

"He produced our very first UK series back in the 1990s called The Unpleasant World Of Penn & Teller," explains Teller, who is surprisingly talkative for someone who performs in absolute silence.

"We hit it off with him straight away and became firm friends. He is an amazingly funny and great guy."

But Ross isn't the only person in the UK who holds the double act in high esteem. Even though they have only been on TV sporadically since the Nineties, they were overwhelmed by the response from British fans when they performed here last year.

Teller says: "We played the Hammersmith Apollo last summer for a week, our first time back in 16 years. We didn't think anyone would remember us, but we filled 3,500 seats every night - how amazing."

And even though, as a nation, we are known for our cynicism, Teller says we are not harder to please than our US counterparts.

They'll be looking for similar skill during the series, and have their fingers crossed that they will be able to experience the wonder often felt by non-magicians when watching a magic show.

"Show us something different and fresh," Penn advises. "We've seen some tricks that have been done thousands of times, but sometimes the method and execution are so original that it seems fresh."

"There are a few who can still fool us," Penn says. "We recently saw a great card guy in Vegas named Paul Vigil who did a 10-minute routine right in our faces and fooled us. It was amazing."

And they reserve the right to fool their own audiences with a trick they believe no one can decipher, in which they simultaneously shoot at each other and manage to catch the other's bullet in their teeth.

"The Bullet Catch, our signature trick. That fools everyone," Penn says with a smile.

is always on call for her mother who has cerebral palsy. She puts her mum first, before her sporting aspirations and social life. Far from being bitter or resentful, Sarah wouldn’t change her position for the world. “I prefer having a mum that’s disabled, “explains Sarah. “Because of everything we’ve been through with her disability we’ve got a better relationship.”

Michael, 13, also shows remarkable courage.

Michael has a rare condition called Dejerine-Sottas which causes severe muscle weakness and loss of sensation in his limbs, making it difficult to feel heat touch and pain, and means he is reliant on his wheelchair for mobility. Michael shows great determination and has set himself a goal – he wants to be a Paralympian. Michael started horse riding as therapy for his condition, but it has changed his life forever.

These kids are not unique, they are like thousands of others where life is just a little bit more complicated than the constant barrage of bad press and dismissive headlines would have us all believe. So, perhaps the kids really are alright.

don't mess with the panda

Angelina Jolie and Jack Black reunite for Kung Fu Panda 2, which is released in cinemas on Friday, June 10. The two Hollywood stars get together to talk about the animation, parenting and why Black's intimidated by his co-star.

160

It's difficult not to stare at Jack Black and Angelina Jolie because it's hard to imagine a more discordant pair.

Jolie, a regular on 'most beautiful' lists who shines on screen in femme fatale roles, is the epitome of elegance in a cream shift dress and vertiginous nude heels. Her long, glossy hair is loose; her make-up's understated and the famous pillow-pout breaks into a smile that radiates warmth.

The cause of her mirth is Black, the rotund, impish actor and musician who came to prominence in the hit comedy School Of Rock.

Dressed in jeans and a black slogan T-shirt, he's

demonstrating "inward breathing" by singing The Beatles' Blackbird at the top of his voice.

They both crack up and it's clear why their partnership translated into box office gold in 2008's Kung Fu Panda, which earned 633 million dollars worldwide.

The tale of a lazy, daydreaming panda called Po (Black) who learns the art of kung fu alongside his idols the Furious Five (including Jolie's Tigress), the film also earned an Oscar nod for Best Animated Feature Film.

Three years on, Black, Jolie and the rest of the cast, including Dustin Hoffman as Master Shifu, have lent their voices once again for the much anticipated sequel, Kung Fu Panda 2, this time in 3D. "It was like putting on a nice comfortable pair of shoes," oozes 41-year-old Black.

"Yeah, it was more fun the second time around having all got to know each other," nods Jolie, 35.

"Our characters already had history, so it was fun to jump in and immediately start to play."

As well as witnessing Po tackle a formidable villain peacock voiced by Gary Oldman, the audience can expect the answer to one of life's great mysteries: Why is Po's dad a goose?

Even the most casual of observers must have noted Mr Ping, a noodle-making goose (James Hong), can't be Po's biological father.

"Po's getting flashbacks of his childhood and comes to realise he's actually adopted," explains Black, who's dad to two sons, Sammy 4, and Thomas, 3, with wife Tanya Haden.

"It was like a funny joke in the first one, the elephant in the room. Obviously he was adopted but there was no talk of it, so in addition to this being a hero's journey to save the day, it's also a journey of self-discovery."

For Jolie, who has three adopted children; Maddox, 9, Pax, 7, and Zahara, 6, as well as three biological children with partner Brad Pitt, Shiloh, 5, and two-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne, the film's subject matter had particular resonance.

"I wondered if they'd ask me questions about it, but because adoption, birth mothers and orphanage are happy words [in our house,] they're very used to these discussions. They just felt proud that they were a little more like Po, so it was lovely."

The kids were actually used as a sounding board for the film.

"As they're aged from two to 9, we figured it was a good group to gauge whether the film was

"I think we're all searching for peace, it's part of the human journey. We all have moments when we lose it and look for it again, but it's important to know the people you love are safe and healthy."

Black agrees: "I find inner peace in my family; the simple things bring me back home, to a peaceful place in my mind," he says.

"

I've always been drawn to strong characters

"

working and we brought them in," says Jolie. "I did it for them in so many ways and was excited for them to see it."

Like the first film, the sequel is hugely influenced by Hong Kong action movies and Po's newest adventures reflect a deeper immersion into the world of kung fu.

Black says the franchise offered him the opportunity to gain a deeper appreciation of martial arts.

"I did some training in kung fu for both films.

It wasn't just for research purposes; it was also to kind of get in shape." He pauses for dramatic effect. "What really drew me is the combination of exercise and self-defence, along with the third, sort of unseen, component, a spiritual one.

"When you're really practising kung fu, living it and feeling it, there's a meditative quality that seeps in. It feels almost religious. It's an art form, really.

Jolie reveals her sons attend martial arts classes too.

"Boys are boys and naturally have a certain kind of energy. It's been wonderful to get them focused on martial arts and teach them about discipline, respect and how to control their own bodies," she says.

As with the first movie, it's Po who remains the emotional crux of the story.

"For a male character, he's sensitive, so it

seems a very nice balance that Tigress is the harder one who learns to be more emotional.

Can I say that?" Jolie laughs, looking over to Black who's feigning shock.

"We're yin and yang?"

From Lara Croft in Tomb Raider to Evelyn Salt in Salt, Jolie's synonymous with playing powerful females in action films but off screen, she describes herself as "a mom who's changing diapers and colouring all night long, so I'm sure I'm very, very soft".

"I've always been drawn to strong characters and I admire strong women emotionally and physically - people who I feel are fighting for something," she says. "I've been very lucky that I came to my career at a time when women are being allowed [to play] these roles."

Whether Tigress, Po and the rest of the crew return again is ultimately for the audience to decide, says Black: "As long as people love it and hunger for more Kung Fu Panda, there will be more", he grins.

Jolie, for one, is hopeful.

"I hope we can continue. The nice thing about this story is we're growing up with Po and learning about different aspects of human nature."
