STEP INTO SPRING WITH SWAIN & RANDS!

The latest news storys in your area.

HIGHER END SALES Goadsby in Swanage, are delighted to report an excellent run of sales at the higher end of the market. Having secured sales in premier roads of Swanage including Rabling Road, Walrond Road and Hill Road, they are urgently seeking similar properties in sought after residential roads across Purbeck, in excess of £600,000 for waiting buyers. David Price, Branch Manager, comments “Our Homes of Distinction Brand provides larger properties with a wider market exposure, with more detailed brochures, half page adverts across a range of publications and dedicated attention from senior staff.” If you are considering a sale of a larger property in BH19/BH20 please contact David on 01929 425055.

With the lighter evenings heading our way, we’ll soon be looking forward to spending time outside in the Spring but with the unpredictable British climate, why not bring the outside in by adding a new conservatory to your home? And not only will you be adding more space to your property but you’ll also be adding value to the resell price too! Leading home improvement company, Swain & Rands are experts in advising clients on the design and aesthetics of adding a conservatory to any home. “We have a range of conservatories to suit all properties from new builds to more traditional houses. Our designers ensure that not only is the character of the home enhanced but also the value.” remarks Swain & Rands’ Director Darren Rands. “The key to adding significant value to a home via the addition of a conservatory is to ensure it’s built with quality

materials and provides a lot of light. Done correctly, a conservatory could increase the property value by five per cent, which can be as much as £13,500 based on the average price of a semidetached home in Dorset.” If garden space is limited, you can still bring the outside in and make the most of your outdoor space through the addition of bi-fold doors. The modern alternative to classic French or sliding doors, cleverly designed and aesthetically pleasing bifold doors are energy efficient, provide better security and safety, and when constructed from aluminium, are maintenance free. Swain & Rands are one of Dorset’s leading home improvement companies. Specialising in doors, windows and conservatories, they have over fifty years’ combined experience and offer the very best prices from day one, no gimmicks. www.swainandrands.co.uk

TOP TIPS ON LETS FOR PETS

CHRISTCHURCH HARBOUR HOTEL WELCOMES NEW GENERAL MANAGER, ‘JOHN WILLCOCK’

Goadsby Lettings Manager Adam Ford reports a growing increase in enquiries from Tenants who want to have pets in a rental property. Adam adds “Dogs and cats are considered members of the family and Tenants find it very difficult to find accommodation where the Landlord will accept pets. I have provided some tips to help a Landlord in making the important decision whether to accept them or not.

After a successful hotel career further afield, local boy John returns to Dorset in a new role at Christchurch Harbour Hotel.

1. Evaluate prospective tenants and their pets on an individual basis– get a reference from a previous landlord where possible and judge each case on its merit 2. In the case of dogs, ask to meet the pet in person as every dog is different 3. Limit the number of pets allowed according to the size and type of property 4. Ask for proof that cats and dogs are fully up to date with vaccinations and flea treatments 5. Ask for a reasonable, additional deposit to cover any damage that may be caused by pets 6. Add a pet clause to your usual tenancy agreement, seeking advice from a solicitor if necessary. You may also wish to include a pet policy 7. Take full details of any pets you have given permission for, including the contact details of someone who can take care of them in case of an emergency 8. Ensure the property is checked regularly by yourself or a management company to prevent problems arising 9. When letting your property through a letting agency, make sure you tell them you would consider renting to pet owners and which pets you would accept 10. Each case should be treated individually.

His first hotel as General Manager was Hotel du Vin York, before moving back to the south coast in 2010 where he ran their Poole hotel for three years.

For more advice contact Adam on 01202 848984. www.goadsby.com

Born in Poole, John was raised in his father’s hotel, Stanwell House Hotel in Lymington, and after a brief career in retail decided to follow in his father’s footsteps joining Hotel du Vin in 2007, initially in Birmingham, after gaining an MBA in Hospitality at Lausanne Hotel School, Switzerland.

Hotel in Windsor, both of which were MGallery Collection, by Sofitel. Now thrilled to have returned to Dorset taking up his post of General Manager at Christchurch Harbour Hotel & Spa John has exciting plans for the future of the hotel.

Following Hotel Du Vin, John moved to the Accor Group running the Francis Hotel in Bath, followed by the Castle

WHERE NEXT FOR DEVELOPMENT IN BOURNEMOUTH? Landowners are being urged to bring forward their land to meet the growing housing and employment needs of Bournemouth. Bournemouth Borough Council is to launch a review of its Local Plan in early 2017, in order to identify development growth for the next 20 or more years. The review follows the publication of the Eastern Dorset Strategic Housing Market Assessment (SHMA), which confirms that Bournemouth will need to provide in the region of 5,000 new homes over and above currently planned rates in the period to 2033. Peter Lamb of Savills Wimborne Planning said: “There have been a number of regeneration schemes in Bournemouth in recent years, which have made a significant contribution towards housing and employment targets and helped to improve the quality of the built environment across the borough. People want to invest in Bournemouth and values have steadily increased as a result. “Now is the opportunity to put forward the next raft of development sites that will help

meet the needs of a growing population in this thriving seaside town. This is supported by the Government’s recently published housing white paper Fixing our broken housing market, which acknowledges that the pace of development is slow and that we need to build more homes to meet the needs of society.” Charlotte Sythes of Savills South Coast Development team added: “As always, the key issue will be where these houses will be located due to the restricted growth potential in Bournemouth, with the ocean limiting development to the south, and the Green Belt acting as a natural buffer to the north. Brownfield development sites will therefore be key, however, in light of increased housing needs, particularly for family homes, I suspect many landowners on the edge of the existing settlement will also be relooking at whether their land is now a viable location for housing.” For more information on the promotion of brownfield or greenfield land for development, contact Charlotte Sythes on 01202 856826. For advice on planning issues, contact Peter Lamb on 01202 856807.

CORFE HILLS SCHOOL STUDENTS RAISE FUNDS FOR DIVERSE ABILITIES Corfe Hills School has raised £1,355 for Diverse Abilities, Dorset’s disability charity. Students voted to support the charity with their annual Christmas fayres and a non-uniform day. Taking place over three days leading up to the Christmas holidays, the Christmas fayres were full of cakes, sweets, games and Christmas jumpers and there were even Christmas lights and a photo booth. They were organised and ran by each year group separately as they competed to raise the most money. Hayley Collins, lead mentor for Year 11, said: “The staff and students are very proud to have contributed to Diverse Abilities and we look forward to working with them again soon!” Nicole Warrilow, community fundraiser at Diverse Abilities, said: “We would like to thank everyone involved in raising funds for us. We really appreciate the students support.” If you would like to support Diverse Abilities in 2017 why not get in touch or visit the charity’s website at www.diverseabilities. org.uk to find out how you can get involved.

If you love the bounce of walking on a well kept lawn, this one’s for you. We’ve achieved this by using the very latest yarn technology to create a variety of soft curving fibres

Like your grass to be a lighter shade of green? This option’s for you. The 30mm fibres are soft and hardwearing, but offer a lighter colour option that’s also easy on your budget.

Life’s too short to be mowing, watering and weeding the lawn. Spend more time doing what matters to you on a realistic artificial lawn that’s always immaculate and usable – whatever the weather.

SARAH MARCHPASCHAL FROM BRUCE LANCE Mortgages and house purchases go hand in hand but you may not realise the potential pitfalls involved. In the second of her articles unveiling the mysteries of conveyancing, Sarah March-Paschal from Bruce Lance in Poole explains what your solicitor has to do to make sure you receive the funds you’re banking on. It is a little-known fact that your solicitor has to work on behalf of your lender as well as you in a house purchase. This saves you money as it means that your lender doesn’t have to employ their own solicitor to represent them - a cost that you would be expected

While you may not be concerned that the search we have carried out on your dream house reveals a chemical dump next door, you can be certain your lender will be. A lender can withdraw the mortgage offer they’ve made you at any time - even after exchange of contracts - if they think the title of a property is unsound. Yet, having exchanged contracts, you would still be legally bound to proceed with the purchase and complete on a given date. So, your conveyancer needs to make sure they have sorted out any issues with your property before that point is reached.

A house becomes a home when you put yourself and your family and friends within it and there are number of reasons why you may like your home to be blessed by me. • To help when selling a home • Before moving into a new home • After a divorce, bereavement, change of job or other major life event • At the start of a new relationship • When leaving a home that has particular attachments for you • To prepare the house for a new arrival • If you’ve had a bad experience at home or feel “uncomfortable” in

ASK THE EXPERT...

HOW CLEAN ARE YOUR CARPETS? BIG changes have taken place in the manufacture of today’s carpets and carpet fabrics over the last few years, so the technology to clean them has also radically changed.

SERVICING ALL INDUSTRIES

Most markedly domestic carpet tufts have become denser so airflow is reduced, so traditional methods of cleaning leave the carpet wetter with increased dirt and detergent being left behind. Not ideal! However, here at EcoGroup we use only the most up to date technology designed to maximise cleaning performance on these new fabrics which no longer rely on airflow to clean or dry, so is ideal for all your carpets – be it in your home own home or commercial environment. Klaudia Karbowiak, Head of Eco’s Cleaning Division says: “We use the proven spray-extraction method to clean your carpets and with the added advantage of our revolutionary flexible suction tool, we can deep clean your carpets and leave only a market-leading 9% residual moisture. This means that carpets and upholstery are left almost completely dry, which reduces the risk of resoiling, enabling cleaned areas to be used again very quickly.”

INDUSTRIAL

COMMERCIAL

She adds, “The cleaning products we use with our equipment is a well trusted manufacturer established over 40 years ago. They also carry a royal warrant to the Queen.” Used with Eco’s spray-extraction adaptors, these chemicals dramatically increase the performance and productivity of the sprayextraction machine. The motor-driven roller brush increases clean performance by 35% compared to the standard cleans carpets more thoroughly and quickly than the standard extractor by deep-brushing the carpet to agitate and lift dirt from the fibres.

R E TA I L

Advantages of using EcoGroup’s Cleaning Division to clean your carpets: Equipment • Motor-driven roller brush which cleans carpets more thoroughly and quickly than standard floor tools • Built-in suction bar with cover to extract dirty water • Conforms to compliance EN 60355-2-68 electrical safety standard • Overload protection to avoid damage Cleaning chemicals • Pre-sprays • Safe but with high Ph powders or liquids • Environmentally friendly • Different types of stains removers • Spot removers • Eco-friendly products • Urine remover etc Environmentally Friendly - All chemicals used are rapidly and highly biodegradable and the odour neutralisers have been selected for their non-irritant qualities for those with sensitive noses and bronchial problems.

AN AFTERNOON WITH...

THE GENTLEMEN BEHIND AJ DEVELOPMENTS Walking into AJ Developments’ new Office, a cedar clad, secluded spot in Parkstone, there is a warm welcome that awaits you. Despite recently upsizing their business premises, they have retained the personable character and trusting atmosphere that they have become known for. Company Directors Sebastian Janes and Mark Adams started their careers in construction and their partnership together straight out of education, so we are keen to establish their thoughts on how business has been until this point, their ideas moving forwards, and their take on potential changes within the Market.

Mark: Seb and I will not compromise when it comes to our attitude to risk, dealings with potential buyers/vendors and relationships with investors and agents.

You’ve continuously set precedents and won some challenging planning applications with local councils, how have you done this? Mark: I can proudly say that AJ Developments has surrounded ourselves with very loyal and reliable Planning and Architectural teams with decades of experience between them. The thoroughness of planning applications we submit evidences our knowledge of the markets we develop within. We do not enter into an agreement with a vendor unless we have absolute confidence in our application receiving approval. Our attitude to risk is healthy, but calculated.

What are you most excited about for 2017? Mark: We have several larger schemes which gained planning approvals at the end of last year and will feature in our pipeline of works for 2017. These 10 unit+ projects will undoubtedly further strengthen our local reputation as are situated in areas we’ve had previous success and a great track record.

You have evidenced your continued success in winning Sites over your competitors, why is this? Mark: The entire AJ Developments team demonstrate efficiency, honesty, speed and professionalism. Although we are growing, it is at the forefront of our minds to retain the same approach that has contributed to our success thus far.

What has been your best achievement to date? Seb: Without a question of doubt, having built and successfully grown the business from 2010 in the midst of the previous recession. It taught us extremely valuable lessons which moulded our attitude and approach to everything we do today.

Tell me about AJs plans for this year. Seb: I feel very strongly that strategically we should continue to keep our developments under the £1Million unit mark, certainly this year and for the foreseeable future. We are confident that the low to mid end of the market will continue to prosper due to the underlying housing shortage for homes in this price bracket. We are a registered Help To Buy Developer and are looking to strengthen the aforementioned market and provide affordable housing for first time buyers in our community.

Sebastian Janes and Mark Adams

Seb: The business relationships we enter into are very black and white, and we would like to think that this instils confidence in those we deal with. What was your mission from the outset, and how has that compared to the work you’re undertaking now? Seb: Every year we set our annual goals and evaluate our 5 year plan. These are company wide goals that are derived by our entire team and shared with new members of staff . When starting out it was our ideal to provide high quality housing that is built at sub market average prices, this is absolutely something we are achieving year on year to date and a goal that we all work towards. To what do you attribute your success? Both: We have a shared burning ambition and have complete trust in one another’s ability. Despite managing opposite ends of the business, we don’t get comfortable and will not settle for anything less than excellence. The question on everyone’s’ lips; What are your feelings towards Brexit? Seb: Remaining positive during periods of uncertainty is so important for us. We feel that removing ourselves from the EU will provide a renewed sense of opportunity, enabling us to take control of planning legislation and have autonomy over building methods to ensure we are proceeding in an environmentally friendly manner to reducing global impact for generations to come.

LAND & PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT

Left: Sandecotes Road, Penn Hill; 4 sizeable three storey detached houses, to be built to an extraordinarily high specification. These commodious houses will be finished in December 2017

Right: The spacious kitchen and living area which opens onto the south facing garden at Marama, Moorfields Road, Canford Cliffs

How do you think this will affect us locally? Mark: Although the outcome of invoking Article 50 is unknown, we still have a growing population with a National Housing Shortage and an increasing demand for quality new build homes, Brexit or no Brexit. Immediate indicators suggest continued growth and an ever-increasing desirability and demand to reside in the Southern and Home Counties. We have first-hand experience of how investment capital is moving from London to the South Coast. How does AJ Developments help the local community? Seb: With regular Community Give Back Days supporting and donating our time to local charities, our growing workload provides more jobs to local tradesman. Building affordable housing is the area of the market from which we started, and an area we will never overlook. Are you thinking big enough? Seb: Yes. In 2007 ‘Think Big’ by Donald Trump was published… fast forward 7 years. On a serious note, we have ambitions to continue to grow the company whilst maintaining profitability and great returns for our investors.

Something a little less serious now, who are your Dinner Party Guests? Both: A table with Bear Grylls, Barak Obama, Elon Musk, Roger Federer and Jenson Button, would make a pretty spectacular evening for us. Although both gentlemen have made considerable sacrifices to get to where they are, they continue to make time outside of work to spend with their families and friends who share in their success and will be waiting in the wings to celebrate what this year has in store. t. 01202 734012 | e. info@ajdevelopments.net w. www.ajdevelopments.net

ASK THE EXPERT... Monty isn’t just a dapper tweed-wearing handsome Fox; he is also a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the world of property. He is on hand to dispense hints and tips on house sales and property rentals to would-be smart Foxes and Vixens in his fortnightly House Column. This issue, Vicky from Queens Park asks, “How reliable are online property value estimations? I recently put an offer in on a house but the online valuation estimated the house at £20,000 below what I have just offered!”

MOVING HOME CAN BE A DAUNTING PROSPECT... Moving home consists of packing and transporting often thousands of different objects, each of different value, shape and size, from one location to another, or into and then out of store. Given the stress of selling, buying

Dear Vicky,

and renting homes, it is no wonder that people often give little time to

We all like to use the property websites to see what our property may have increased in value since we bought it or what rental income we could expect to see if we began letting out our home. So I don’t blame you for having a little look to see how your offer measures up. The thing to remember is how these websites reach the estimate. The last sold price is taken, information readily available from the Land Registry, and then this is multiplied the average increase/decrease of other properties in the area. This then churns out an estimate of what the property could be worth based on minimal information. This is very different to the actual value of the house, which ultimately lies in what someone is willing to pay. Foxes Sales & Lettings do not use these estimates as a tool to value property; rather they favour local knowledge, experience in the market as well as looking at very recently sold like-for-like properties in the area or same road. Before they visit each property they spend time researching the property and compile bespoke printed data on sold prices and comparable properties, which they then take to discuss with the potential vendor and leave with them to look through in their own time. Ultimately, every property is as individual as the home-owners themselves and the value of which cannot be predicted by an online system. You say the online valuation is lower than what you have just offered, but the online valuation cannot tell you what renovations or decoration has been done since the last sold date. New windows, driveways, landscaping, extensions etc may have dramatically driven up the price of your soon to be home. You must have been happy with the property when you viewed and keen to put in an offer you felt was reasonable for the property before seeing the online estimate, I would keep this in mind and Good Luck in getting your offer accepted! Every issue you’ll find that Monty has hidden himself on a page of House magazine – if you find Monty you are in with a chance to win a prize! This issue Foxes Sales & Lettings are giving you your very own Monty the fox – email belen.robbins@foxes.co.uk with the page number that you found Monty on to be entered into the draw. Good Luck!

thinking exactly what will or will not be moved to their new home. Below you will find a few tips to help you prepare and plan for a smooth and efficient move to your new home.

Making an appointment for a surveyor to visit In most cases our surveyor will visit you in your home to discuss the details of your planned move. The appointment needs to be made in plenty of time, three to four weeks approximately before you intend to move is a good time to contact three to four removal companies in order to get your quotations. The surveyor will explain the services we provide and agree with you exactly what is to be included in the quotation. During the appointment the surveyor needs to understand how much requires moving, if packing is and any major dismantling is required, the time it will take them and how far they need to travel. The surveyor will then arrange the appropriate number of vehicles, number of men and packing materials to meet your requirements. A written quotation will then be provided to you, either by email or in the post, detailing everything that was agreed during the appointment, within a couple of days.

Packing Packing can be the most time consuming and frustrating part of any move. If you can afford to have it done professionally by us, do so. As a member of the British Association of Removers we use a wide range of appropriate packing materials and employ fully trained staff who will pack your things professionally and safely. Alternatively, you can do your own packing and we will supply you with a starter pack of boxes and tape, after which you can buy further materials either from our shop (see our price list on our website www.pardyremovals.com), or buy them from other packing materials outlets. If you feel you require more than a starter pack included in the quotation, we can supply further materials at a reasonable cost. Simply ask!

Special items If you have something unusual to take with you, let your mover know. They will make special arrangements for plants, fine art, antiques, wine collections, IT equipment, or anything else about which you are particularly concerned.

TALKING BUSINESS

HOUSE MAGAZINE TALKS BUSINESS WITH…

QUAY HOLIDAYS Smart Investors Turn To Furnished Holiday Letting! Buy-to-let investors, punch-drunk by the triple whammy of stamp duty hikes, taxation of loan interest, and a proposed ban on tenant fees, are struggling to find ways to avoid the punitive changes – but Quay Holidays is confident it has the answer. Says managing partner, Helen Challis, “the Chancellor really has it in for buyto-let investors right now, and some have had enough. There is widespread speculation that many will be forced to sell up as the changes take effect, but thankfully there is an alternative – holiday letting.” Residential investment is just that an investment, but since furnished holiday letting is more intensive it is classed as a trade for tax purposes, and that has significant advantages. For starters, the withdrawal of tax relief on mortgage interest doesn’t apply to holiday letting. By 2020, buy-to-let investors with large loans are likely to find that the absence of tax relief on interest means their ‘investment’ will actually be losing them money. By contrast, furnished holiday-let investors are unaffected. They can also benefit from a range of valuable allowances and reliefs. Owners who want to use the property themselves can also do so, although it won’t count towards the occupation requirements.”

To qualify as a Furnished Holiday Letting (FHL), a property must be; • Available and furnished for holiday letting with a view to making a profit for at least 210 days in every 12 months. • Actually let for 105 days, for durations not exceeding 31 days.

What are the benefits? • Mortgage interest charges can be fully off-set against income. • Profits from a FHL count towards your relevant earnings for pension contributions. • You can claim 100% Capital Allowances against a range of expenditures, including fixtures and fittings, white goods and furniture. • Capital Gains Tax on subsequent sale could be eligible for Entrepreneurs’ Relief, meaning you pay only 10% tax on your gain. Alternatively, if you invest in a further, higher value FHL you could defer the chargeable gain through roll-over relief. • Being a trade, FHL’s are usually eligible for business rates, rather than council tax, and small business reliefs could reduce your outgoing to zero. • There may well be Business Property Relief on Inheritance Tax, provided HMRC are satisfied that you are (or were!) operating a business.

• Losses in any one year can be set off against a FHL profit in a subsequent year, although not against other types of profits.

What are the pitfalls?

• Record keeping is important – if HMRC come knocking, you will need to prove that your FHL is a genuine business, and that you have adhered to the timescales. • Income is variable – it may take a while to build the business, and peak summer will yield bigger profits than the low and shoulder seasons, so cash flow needs to cover the leaner periods. • Some leasehold properties, and many mortgage providers, may not permit holiday lettings in the property. Always check first. There are alternative mortgage providers, but if your lease forbids it, holiday letting may not be possible. • Income is substantially higher, but so are the costs. It really is a business – and somebody has to do the marketing, booking, cleaning, and provisioning, but that’s where Quay Holidays comes in!

TALKING BUSINESS

The landlord of a FHL will be responsible for all the regular bills, plus the charges for welcome packs, linen hire, cleaning and letting fees. But Quay Holidays’ portfolio achieves annual occupancy levels around 70%, which surprises owners more used to the 40-50% achieved by holiday properties in rural locations. As Helen points out, “Poole and Bournemouth are popular year-round. We’re just two hours from London, and we offer flexible breaks from just 2 nights. We have stunning countryside on our doorstep, a beautiful harbour – and some excellent bars and restaurants! Quay also has strong links with local big businesses and many of their visitors prefer the space and facilities of a comprehensively-equipped apartment over a small hotel room.

No obligation advice and appraisal If you are an existing buy-to-let investor worried by the imminent tax changes, or a second home owner who wants to make their holiday home earn its keep, Helen Challis is happy to discuss the options with you. She can even furnish and equip a property to an agreed budget, if you lack the time to do it yourself. “With the tax changes due to take effect from April there is no time to lose, and with the current weakness in the Pound attracting foreign holidaymakers and staycationers alike, this summer looks set to be another bumper year. Helen and her team can be contacted 7-days a week on 01202 683333 or by email to stay@quayholidays.co.uk

Perceptions are changing English holiday-lets used to conjure up images of formica kitchens, swirlypatterned carpets, antimacassars and those little china ornaments that every child dreamt of hurling from a top-floor window. The modern reality could not be more different. Today, holiday lets offer a genuine homefrom-home, with all mod-cons – flatscreen TV’s, Bluetooth connectivity and wi-fi are becoming the norm. The old perception that holiday properties were usually mistreated by their guests also doesn’t hold, says Helen Challis. “Guests respect smart, attractively furnished and wellmaintained properties. We still take a security deposit, just in case, but instances of malicious damage are almost non-existent”.

Ten Years in Furnished Holiday Letting Established for 10 years, Quay Holidays’ knowledge and experience in holiday letting gives clients a huge advantage. Helen recognised from the outset that most other agencies offered a booking-only service, but since the South Coast is popular with second home owners who often live many miles away, she was determined to offer a high-quality, comprehensive service. To achieve that, Helen maintains a directly-employed team of cleaners, maintenance staff and managers. “Many of our team have been with us for years – they know how we operate, and the standards we expect. They have tremendous dedication to the job, and that is reflected in the many glowing testimonials from repeat guests.”

Income and occupancy Holiday letting typically delivers peak season income three times higher than a long-term residential letting but before a landlord gets too carried away, Helen reminds them that there are higher costs, too.

A-One Advice Clinic What is the difference between the declared value and the sum insured? The declared value is the rebuilding cost of the property and most insurers give a percentage uplift on the figure in order to take into account any rise in buildings costs, labour, materials etc that may occur during the time it takes to rebuilt and this is known as the sum insured. Are our Garages covered? The definition of a building includes any outbuildings attached to or detached from the main building What is Property Owners Liability? It covers you in the event of accidental injury to any person (if the postman came to deliver some letters and a tile fell off the roof of your buildings and caused injury) Why do I need Employers Liability Insurance when we have no employees? A member of your family could visit and be asked by you to change a light bulb in the communal area and fall off the ladder and as they would be deemed to be a voluntary helper, this would cover them. What does Communal Contents mean/cover? It will cover items within your communal area, which includes carpets, table, chair, coat stand, picture, for example. 01202 769899

A substantial 7 bedroom, 3 reception room detached character house situated in the sought after Kings Park area of Bournemouth. The property has been owned by the current owner and her family since 1962. The home will be in need of some cosmetic attention but has recently had double glazing and a new gas heating boiler installed. Accommodation is over 3 floors and comprises a magnificent hallway with fitted furniture, 3 large reception rooms and a kitchen on the ground floor. On the 1st floor you will find 4 bedrooms, a bathroom and separate WC. On the second floor there are a further 3 bedrooms, all with eaves storage. A particular feature of the property is the impressive hallway which has lots of intricate character features including heart carved balusters and fitted original style benches. Whilst this area is carpeted, the vendor has indicated that there is an original style block wooden flooring underneath, waiting to be lovingly restored.

Vendors comments: “This house has so many wonderful memories of laughter and fun. Christmas time especially with a large Christmas tree stood in the hall is a sight to behold, with presents lined up on the bench seats waiting to be opened. This home oozes happiness, it makes you smile when you enter, it’s warm and friendly and I will be so sad to leave as my children grew up here, my memories are here, but I need to down size and give this house to another family to make their memories. I just want someone to love this house as I do.” Six Double Bedrooms Plus Box Room • Detached Edwardian House • Three Reception Rooms • Off Road Parking For Several Vehicles • Magnificent Entrance & Hallway • Double Glazing Throughout • Many Original Character Features • Some Modernisation Required Guide Price £525,000

Anna – Lettings Negotiator passes UNIT 2 Churchfield congratulate Lettings Negotiator Anna Corbridge – Atkins on passing her unit 2 of the NFoPP Level 3 Technical Award in Residential Letting & Property Management! The Technical Award, which is a nationally recognised industry qualification, meets the Associate of Residential Lettings Agents’ (ARLA) membership. ARLA is the UK’s foremost professional body for letting agents, it aims to promote better regulation and higher practice standards in the UK private rented sector. We are very pleased to see Anna has achieved her unit 2 and have no doubt she will complete the following two units just as easily resulting in her full Level 3 qualification.

Changes to buy to let tax relief Currently landlords are able to claim tax relief on their mortgage interest payments. Meaning they can offset the cost of mortgage interest from the rental income when calculating profits. Currently the amount of tax landlords pay is calculated on their profits according to their income tax band. However this is due to change, it was announced by George Osbourne in the summer budget that landlords will no longer be able to deduct all of the mortgage interest, instead tax relief with be cut to 20%. This will mean if you are a higher rate tax payer the new system will result in no return if the mortgage interest is 75% or more of the rental income. The liability of a basic rate taxpayer will be unchanged, however it may be with the new profit calculation basic rate tax payers are pushed into a higher tax band. There has also been changes made to landlord’s wear and tear allowance, where it used to be that landlords could automatically deduct 10% on rental incomes for wear and tear. From April 2016 landlords will only be able to claim tax relief on costs they have actually incurred on making improvements to the property.

LANDLORD DROP IN SESSION

Churchfield are pleased to offer a weekly drop in session which is available to all current landlords and those potentially looking into becoming a landlord. The sessions are held at our Charminster Road office each Friday afternoon between 4.30pm – 6.00pm. It is a great opportunity to drop into the office to discuss any points surrounding your current or future investment, knowing someone will be on hand with the knowledge to help.

GIVING SOMETHING BACK

All landlords that instruct Churchﬁeld to manage their property for them are entered into a monthly landlord draw, each month a lucky winner is drawn and WINS a £50.00 Marks & Spencer voucher.

If you want further information or to discuss any of the upcoming changes that landlords are set to face in 2017 call Churchﬁeld for some free friendly advice.

GOING WITH THE FLOW IN ONTARIO Greg Elmhirst, general manager of the Elmhirst Resort, has a theory why paddle sports are growing in popularity.

half the world’s polar bears (not to mention most of the world’s maple syrup), has been around a heck of a lot longer than one-and-a-half centuries.

“People are turning more towards ‘silent sports’,” he observes. “When I was a kid, people were more into motors. We’re craving something more calm and relaxing,” he says.

The anniversary actually marks 150 years since the British North America Act was passed by British Parliament, marking the start of Canada’s new era as a self-governing federation.

It certainly fits my bill - except, it wouldn’t be entirely accurate to call my first paddle around Lake Rice, the dazzling 32km-long watery stretch upon whose shores Elmhirst Resort nests, in a traditional-style, big, eightseater Canadian canoe, completely silent. Not if you count the gentle flipflap of water against wood, as we bob along.

And there’s a lot to celebrate; from the late 19th century onwards, on the whole, Canada’s population and economy flourished, helped in no small part by the development of the railways.

It’s a leisurely introduction to this unassuming watercraft, which I soon discover has played a starring role in Canada’s history. The country celebrates its 150th anniversary this year - though of course, this gigantic nation of 10 provinces (most of which dwarf the whole of the UK), home to more than

But long before any of this was on track, Canada’s indigenous people were blazing trails of their own hunting, trading, transporting goods, and simply getting from A to B with the help of their canoes. The oldest canoes were ‘dugouts’, huge carved-out tree trunks. North American Aboriginals are credited with pioneering the most widelyrecognised version of the canoe wide wooden frames covered with lightweight strips of bark - which date back thousands of years.

If you’re after serious adventure, you could retrace some of their routes across multiple provinces, forgoing mod-cons for camping kit carried on-board, as many of the nomadic Algonquin communities, or fur trade voyageurs in the 17th century, would have done. I’m only here for a week so am sticking to Ontario, but home to more than 250,000 of the country’s 31,800 lakes (more than 50% of the world’s lakes are in Canada), it’s a good place to start. Greg’s in full agreement. “This area’s the centre of the canoe universe, false modesty aside,” he states, noting there are three canoe factories within a few miles of family-run Elmhirst, which in the heart of the Kawarthas region, is a two-hour drive from Toronto. And there’s much more besides canoeing here; there’s skating in winter, fishing, hiking trails, wine tasting, and float plane rides, so you can take in the views from the sky.

prodigious lakes. “This amphibious mode of transport is really the only convenient way to get across it,” Jeremy notes, explaining how the voyageurs would heave canoes onto their shoulders to carry across land, and turn them upside-down to create makeshift shelters at night. While some very remote Northern communities still use canoes for hunting, trade and cargo purposes (though probably now with a motor attached!), the practice is diminishing. Today, canoes are mainly objects of leisure, sport and exploration. More of those three things are on the itinerary for me, as I bid farewell to Elmhirst and head to Madawaska Kanu Centre in Barry’s Bay. Thankfully, the wide, quiet roads are a dream, and since it’s early autumn when I visit, and the region’s foliage resembles Monet-like swathes of deep rust and gold-dotted green, the twoand-a-half-hour drive is a delight. Left: Students enjoying a paddle masterclass on Mud Lake, near Madawaska Kanu Centre, Ontario Below: Photo of Madawaska Kanu Centre, Ontario, Canada & an old canoe at Canadian Canoe Museum, Ontario

There’s a spa too, for a spot of pampering after all that outdoorsy fun, but if blissful calm is what you’re after, you need only venture a few feet from your bedroom.

The museum’s detailed displays bring some of these stories to life, illustrating how different types of canoe reflect the environments and lifestyles of the peoples they belonged to.

The morning after my arrival, following the best nights’ sleep of my life (I knew lakeside living would agree with me), I plod into the kitchen, brew some coffee, then carry my mug a few grassy steps from my whitepainted clad cottage to the lake and sit on a little wooden jetty, sipping as the sun rises.

“Their designs aren’t just about functionality, they’re an expression of cultural identity,” Jeremy adds, pointing out how the Inuit communities’ canoes, in the ultracold North, were covered with seal skin which the women would sew on, providing a durable, waterproof coat.

Under an hour’s drive away in Peterborough is the Canadian Canoe Museum, proud home to the world’s largest collection of canoes (one of the oldest was found in a shed in Cornwall a few years ago; it’s believed a British lieutenant who fought in Canada during the American War of Independence in the late 1700s took it over to the UK), and a great place to get a better understanding of how symbolic this banana-shaped vessel really is. “A lot of what makes each canoe special is the story it carries, as much as the object itself,” says curator Jeremy Ward.

Making use of nature’s blessings is a big part of life for First Nations Aboriginals - but always with honour and gratitude, giving back as much as they take - and many of the traditional canoes are birch bark, made with large strips of bark which, if done with care, can be removed from trees without killing them. Canada’s geography has a lot to do with the canoe’s importance. Look at a waterways map and you’ll quickly see that large proportions of Canada, the second-biggest country on the planet, are aquatic, a maze of rivers and estuaries weaving between its

Surrounded by forest, the main site is a big log chalet, while guests sleep in the simple-yet-comfortable cabin block next door. There’s a choice of indoor and outdoor eco showers, and no Wi-Fi - but you’ll find plenty of board games and old National Geographic magazines to keep you amused in the fireside communal lounge area. I join a small group for a paddle masterclass with Bethany on nearby Mud Lake, a dreamy forest-flanked setting, twinkling beneath a perfect September-blue sky. Unlike a kayak, in canoes, you sit in a kneeling position, using your knees, core and upper-body to help steer and control the craft, as well as your paddle, with one person at the front and another at the back. We learn how to ‘read’ the river, so we can follow the patterns of the rapids and eddies, and spot low and high water spots. Of course, mastering all this can take years, but it’s utterly addictive. And there’s something very special about learning to canoe in a land where it’s been so cherished.

Over lunch later, Bethany, who has that covetable glow and patience of somebody living their best, fresh airfilled life, tells me how she fell in love with canoeing as a child, but took a “sensible” option to study and pursue a career in design and computer technology. But, the call of the canoe never left her, and by her mid-20s, was too hard to resist. “I had to figure out how to get back to the white water world. That was my authentic self, and I wanted to find a way back,” she recalls. Sometimes, it really is about going with the flow... By Abi Jackson, Press Association Picture credit: PA Photo/Abi Jackson

TEMPTING TRENDS It’s easy to follow the crowd in interiors, and play it safe with decor that looks the business but doesn’t really excite. If you’re yearning to break loose and willing to experiment, however, there are some terrific trends this year. You could be adventurous and go a little wild - Africa’s the hot destination influencing our taste for 2017 - or stay cool and dip into blues, which have the power to transform any space. If that doesn’t float your boat, go tactile and embrace ‘touch me’ textures. Don’t feel restricted to strictly replicating one look either; it’s actually more fun to make a style your own by using elements from each in a unique mix. There are no rules - after all, it’s your home, and you’ll enjoy it more if it really reflects your taste...

Urban Jungle Exploring the world through our homes is all the rage this year. Africa’s currently the favourite decor destination, and its signature palette of warm earthy shades works so well with pared-back contemporary interiors. “This is a modern style inspired by a global tradition. Our Tribe collection draws inspiration from key elements of modern African design, from bold prints to intricate embroidery and ornate carvings,” says Sue Roberts, design director at House of Fraser. “This enduring trend celebrates a nomadic spirit in design, reinterpreting traditional making methods and pattern with a contemporary crafted mood. Combine tribal influences, such as intricate basket weaves and hand-embroidered cushions, with handcrafted ceramics, tactile finishes and native geo prints.”

DECOR TIP: Go wild with bold jungle prints, or tame it down with a subtle approach to a colour scheme and choose a palette of dusky browns, luscious greens and rusty oranges reminiscent of an African savannah. GET THE LOOK: House of Fraser’s grey and white Linea Tribe Print Duvet Set, £50, would be well complemented by an Illini Geo Bedspread, £150, and a monochrome Plantation Rug Co. Belle 100% Wool Chainmail Rug, which starts from £150. Their woven trays would be great as wall decorations: Linea T Kamina Orange Trim Tray, £40; Conga Star Weave Tray, £38. Alternatively, key into the look with one statement piece: Marks & Spencer’s fabulous Amber Armchair, upholstered in tan zebra-print Nyanga fabric, £599.

Art Rookie, a brilliant website showcasing works by British artists and designers, has an Amy Hale Design Aztec Mosaic Cushion, from £25, which could be a perfect finishing touch. If you can’t resist a bargain, Ge orge Home has a Pattern Vase, £15, and Zebra Cushion, £6, that would suit this look well.

Moody Blues Blues still rule in interiors, despite competition from green, the hot newcomer making its name on the decor block. “Blues are making another comeback this season, with the resurgence of beautiful cobalt and azure shades, paired with glamorous metallic accents for a bold luxe look,” says Paula Taylor, colour and trends specialist at Graham & Brown. “They’re so versatile and easy on the eye and suit any look, from traditional to ultra modern. For a more subtle refresh, mix with bright whites and hints of red or green for a spring update. “Designer Kelly Hoppen’s Ikat wallpaper [£23 a roll], in a vivid Prussian blue, is perfect for a classic style statement and works with both neutral shades as well as a richer colour palette.” DECOR TIP: Dulux’s Colour of the Year is a greeny ocean blue, Denim Drift: Easycare Matt Emulsion, £26.48 for 2.5L. GET THE LOOK: Designer’s Guild Majolica wallpaper, in arabesque cobalt, £195 a roll, is stunning, with a design which cleverly combines a painterly technique with a tile effect. Gatsby furniture from Next, upholstered in gorgeous dark teal matt velvet, has a fashionable modern luxe look but a highly affordable price tag, with a sofa starting from £1,199 and footstool from £499 - and these pair nicely with an Aldridge Chair upholstered in the same fabric, £565, and Loreto Palm Leaf Print Eyelet Curtains, starting from £25. Next’s blue accessories are winners too: Ceramic Patchwork Vase, £20, and Graded Geometric Cushion, £10. For a coastal feel, OKA has a Set of Four Seaweed Framed Prints, £280, and beautiful Grenadilla Lamp, £135 (base only), which comes in a rich peacock blue or vivid Persian red.

Touchy Feely Texture is the buzzword for interiors in 2017, and it’s all about mixing matt finishes with gloss, and rough-hewn with sleek, streamlined pieces. “This year, the emphasis within people’s homes will be on on an intensely natural environment. Textures and tones will reflect the beauty of nature, with a few modern touches thrown in for emphasis,” says Stacey Sibley, creative director at Alexander James Interior Design. “Think rough, natural woods for everything from floorboards to tables to shutters, textured glass and ceramics for lighting, and then accessorise with matte glazed dinnerware, wooden servingware and earthenware bowls. “A soft palette of greys, light browns and whites tinged with pink will complement a scheme which celebrates the grain of wood and stone and the beauty of craftsmanship.” DECOR TIP: Graphic art, whose themes focus on nature’s textures - from blades of grass to pebbles - is another way to embrace this look.

RIGHT: English oak hall or sofa table, with brass handles, from 1,620, available from Titchmarsh and Goodwin. (Picture credit: PA Photo/Handout).

GET THE LOOK: Make a feature of a bespoke piece from Titchmarsh & Goodwin, such as an English Oak Console Table, with brass handles, which starts from £1,620. Freestanding, distinctive pieces suit this unstructured informal style, and a bleached mango wood and antique brass-plated iron frame Chevron Shelving Unit (which would make a striking room divider), £449, is a gem from Atkin & Thyme. Details really count for this style, so shop around for treats at Marks & Spencer, which is on top of all

the trends this season. Their Short Hammered Vase, £19.50, has a lovely metallic sheen, and I love their chartreuse Stitched Velvet Cushion, £25. Go rustic with a Triple Hurricane Lantern, £15, Dunelm.

DREAM KITCHENS & BATHROOMS The Top Four Kitchen Trends That Are Commonly Used

Integrated storage and work stations. It is becoming increasingly popular to integrate appliances and work stations into the design of a kitchen, to create a sense of flow and cohesion. It is important to ensure that appliances such as fridges and microwaves don’t dominate the aesthetic of your kitchen, therefor this focus stops your kitchen looking cluttered and busy. When selecting

appliances remember to check if they are specifically designed for integration and avoid plastic aftermarket ‘integration kits’ – these aftermarket options don’t last as long, puts stress on the joinery hinges and may damage your kitchen. Storage in kitchens is a must, so having a pantry that is tucked behind joinery is a great way to provide generous storage while being discreet.

Pared-back colour palette. Having a pared-back colour pallet allows your kitchen to always sit comfortably within the interior design of your home. Cantilever interiors’ kitchens feature open shelving, which means objects and homewares can still be included in your kitchen and can reflect your own personal style – and can always be rearranged for a refresh!

Getting smarter in smaller spaces. We believe that size shouldn’t matter when it comes to a welldesigned and functioning kitchen. Carefully considering the placement of appliances, lighting, ergonomic efficiently and storage capacity is becoming increasingly important when it comes to kitchen design. We have many ways to help with storage solutions to make your kitchen work to your needs.

Being creative with floral arrangements. Beautiful floral arrangements, large leafy greens and plants bring life to your kitchen space, it is a great way to bring the outdoors inside and adds an organic touch to your kitchen space.

Here at Dream Kitchens & Bathrooms we can cater for all your needs in one place to help you create you dream living space. a. 114 Bournemouth Rd, Parkstone, Poole BH14 9HY t. 01202 744727 e. info@dreamkitchens-bathrooms. co.uk w. dreamkitchens-bathrooms.co.uk

ABOUT US The concept of Reformed Plastics was born over 15 years ago from the curiosity of its founder. Being an engineer by profession, and having had his own UPVC Windows business, and also being the practical and inquisitive person that he is, one day he decided to find out what was really happening to the waste that people were so freely throwing away. His research and interest lead him to focus on plastics, how it can be recycled and what it could be reused for. He discovered that the USA and a few European countries had been recycling and re-manufacturing waste plastics into alternative timber products for many years, instead of throwing it all into landfill! Over time, slowly but surely he developed a few basic products in the form of planks and posts and very soon he began to receive interest from people wanting to know more about this revolutionary product that is both an environmentally friendly alternative to normal timber and sustainable which means it will save them a lot of money in the long term! From then on, the rest as they say is history. The benefits of Reformed Plastics products: • Safe and secure • Easy to clean • A range of colours and textures • Will not need painting or staining • Non-slip decking • Lasts for over 50 years • Resistant to vandalism • Resistant to salt water • Resistant to chemicals

MOTORING

MOTORING NEWS The latest news on all things motoring. By Nick Fletcher

HONDA ‘USED’ AWARD Honda’s CR-V crossover has been named ‘Used 4x4 of the Year’ by motoring magazine Diesel Car. The compact SUV took the title after a panel of expert judges weighed up the best buys in the secondhand car market as part of the title’s annual Used Car Awards. Examples of the CR-V built between 2007 and 2012 stood out, beating a raft of much newer competitors and premium brand alternatives to the accolade. The judges were impressed by the CRV’s all-round ability, appeal and equipment levels, as well as its value on the used car market and bulletproof record for dependability. Ian Robertson, Editor and Publisher of Diesel Car, said: “The Honda CR-V may be older than many of the cars in this year’s honours list but this is a reflection on how highly we rate it. It’s incredibly practical and spacious and a real second-hand bargain.”

ROAD TEST: HYUNDAI TUCSON PREMIUM SE Compact SUV models currently enjoy enormous popularity, with a wealth of competitors vying for customers in one of the most active sectors of the UK car market, writes NICK FLETCHER. Kia Sportage, Renault Kadjar, SEAT Ateca, Ford Kuga, Nissan Qashqai, VW Tiguan and Peugeot 3008 are among formidable rivals that the latest Hyundai Tucson has to take on - but in my view it is more than up to the challenge. The Tucson holds plenty of aces – it is more eye-catching than some rivals, more spacious and better equipped too, and its 5-year warranty beats most of the opposition and helps it have very strong residual values. Prices start at £19,450, petrol and diesels options are available and depending on model, two or four wheel drive. Even entry-level models come with features such as alloy wheels, air conditioning and Bluetooth, and my test model was the flagship Premium SE which has heated and cooling electric front seats, a heated steering wheel, electric tailgate, larger 19-inch alloys, dual-zone climate control, panoramic glass sunroof, roof-rails, reversing camera and parking sensors, an 8-inch touchscreen, sat-nav, and a list of 32 safety and security features including rear cross-traffic alert and lane departure warning.

In two-wheel-drive 1.7 litre diesel form, with 7-speed auto gearbox, this top-spec model costs £29,695. Top speed is 115 mph, 0-60 mph time 11.5 seconds fuel economy is 57.6 mpg combined. With a new chassis, new engines and new technology, the Tucson has a lot to offer but what impressed me most was its driving feel. It seems absolutely in touch with the driver, with intuitive steering response, beautifully composed ride quality and precise and assured handling. The 140 hp diesel unit is quiet and refined, the dual-clutch auto gearbox ultra-smooth with its changes. Striking exterior styling gives the Tucson plenty of charisma and while the cabin looks rather less exciting, it is well designed for function and ease of use, with a clean uncluttered look and a quality appearance that matches that of Volkswagen. Seating is comfortable and supportive, and there is good space in the rear for even taller adults. The boot space of 513 litres is larger than that of the Qashqai and Kadjar, and expands to 1,503 litres. The latest Tucson is light years ahead of the original version in all respects and it is now in a commanding position in a segment already crowded with some excellent rivals.

MERCEDES SALES RECORD

146

Mercedes-Benz has started the new year with double-digit sales growth and its 47th record month in succession.

FOOD & DRINK

‘IT’S BEEN A LIFE-CHANGER’ The term ‘low FODMAP diet’ may leave you scratching your head - but not for much longer, if Emma Hatcher has anything to do with it. FODMAPs fermentable, oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols are types of short-chain carbohydrates that can be tricky to digest, and they can wreak havoc for some people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), a common condition associated with digestive symptoms such as bloating, diarrhoea, constipation and cramps. They can be found in a wide range of foods, including certain fruits, veggies, grains and nuts - onions, garlic and apples are prime examples (though not everybody with IBS is affected by the same foods in the same ways). But cutting out, or cutting down on key culprits can help - and if anyone can vouch for the effective of a low FODMAP diet it’s Hatcher, a long-term sufferer of IBS and a sensitive gut. “It was a light bulb moment of, ‘Oh my God, this could actually really help’,” the 23-year-old recalls of her dietician’s suggestion to try the plan, following years of cutting out various foods to no effect.

Lightened Up Lasagne (Serves 6-8)

“You don’t realise quite how much it affects your life until after your symptoms have gone, and you think, ‘Wow, I’m not thinking about when I’m next going to need the bathroom, or what I’m going to eat on my work lunch break today’. “It’s been a massive life-changer for me, and by the sounds of it, for a lot of other people out there as well.” Discovering that the information available was minimal - she recalls initially being handed “a very uninspiring, four-page leaflet with a big long list of foods to cut out” - the forward-thinking millennial embarked on a one-woman mission to show that the diet needn’t be restrictive. She’s since been a pillar of support for countless others in a similar position, via her brilliantly titled lifestyle blog, She Can’t Eat What?! Now, Hatcher’s sharing her insights in her debit cookbook, The FODMAP Friendly Kitchen. As well as avoiding processed foods and sugars, Hatcher devised a menu of simple, healthy and delicious dishes, that all require no unobtainable ingredients.

Intrigued to give low Fodmap eating a go? Here are three tasty recipes from Hatcher’s new book to try at home... By Gemma Dunn, Press Association

Ingredients 1 parsnip, peeled and diced 3 carrots, peeled and diced 1 red pepper, diced 2tbsp olive oil 1kg minced beef 2 tins (each 400g) chopped tomatoes 120ml water 2tsp dried oregano 2 bay leaves 20g basil Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper 2 butternut squash 200g spinach 100g grated mozzarella

Method In a large saucepan, heat one tablespoon of the oil and saute the parsnip, carrot and pepper until soft. Add the mince and cook until browned. Pour in the tomatoes and water and stir in the oregano, bay leaves and basil. Simmer for roughly one hour until the meat is tender and saucy. Taste and season.

Preheat the oven to 180C (gas 4). Peel and cut the squash into thin slices, as if lasagne sheets. Bake in the oven with a drizzle of olive oil for 15 minutes. Once tender, you can get to work on layering the lasagne, just quickly fish out your bay leaves from your meat first. In a baking dish, add one layer of the mince mixture, one layer of spinach and one layer of squash, repeating until all of the ingredients are used up. Sprinkle with the cheese and bake in the oven at the same temperature for 30 minutes, or until the top is crispy.

FOOD & DRINK

Buckwheat Risotto with Macadamia Cream (Serves 4)

PA Photo/Malou Berger

Ingredients

Method

1 large aubergine, chopped into small chunks 2tbsp garlic-infused oil 255g buckwheat groats 80ml dry white wine 470ml vegetable stock or hot water 150g spring greens Juice and zest of 1 lemon 1/2 small bunch of fresh parsley, finely chopped Grated parmesan, to serve (optional)

To make the macadamia cream, add all of the ingredients apart from the water into the bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine.

Add the wine, stir and let cook until completely absorbed. Ladle in the vegetable stock, a little bit at a time, keeping the mixture at a low simmer.

While the processor is still running, pour in the water bit by bit, until you reach a thick, cream-like consistency.

Each time the liquid is absorbed by the buckwheat, add a bit more, until you’ve used up all the stock and it’s been absorbed fully by the buckwheat.

For the macadamia cream: 40g macadamia nuts, soaked for 5 hours or overnight 35g sunflower seeds 160ml water 1/2 tsp sea salt 1tbsp lemon juice

Leave to one side whilst preparing the rest of the dish. To make the risotto, heat the garlic-infused oil in a saucepan over a medium heat. Add the aubergine and saute for about 10 minutes or until softened and starting to brown. Add the buckwheat groats to the pan. Toss and let cook, ‘toasting’ the buckwheat, for one to two minutes.

Have a quick taste. The buckwheat should be tender at this point, but not mushy. Add in the spring greens and lemon juice and cook for another couple of minutes. Take the pan off the heat and stir the macadamia cream. Divide into bowls and serve topped with parsley, lemon zest, and a little parmesan, if you like. 149

Ingredients

Method

100g white rice flour 4tbsp tapioca flour 70g brown sugar 1tsp baking powder 1/4tsp xanthan gum 1/4tsp salt 60ml lactose or dairy-free milk of choice 4tbsp oil 2 eggs 2tsp pure vanilla extract

Preheat the oven to 180C (gas 4) and lightly grease a doughnut pan.

For the blood orange glaze: 200g icing sugar, sifted Zest of 1/2 a blood orange 3-4tbsp fresh squeezed blood orange juice, depending on desired consistency Edible flowers to decorate

Spoon the batter into a piping bag or a large resealable sandwich bag with a hole cut in one of the corners.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the rice flour, tapioca flour, sugar, baking powder, xanthan gum and salt. Set aside. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, oil, eggs and vanilla extract. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients, and stir to combine.

Pipe the batter evenly into the prepared doughnut pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the top of the

doughnuts bounce back when gently pressed. Let the doughnuts sit in the pan for five minutes, before popping them on a wire rack and leaving to cool. To make the blood orange glaze, add the icing sugar, orange zest and three tablespoons of blood orange juice to a bowl and whisk together. Adjust the icing thickness by adding additional orange juice, one teaspoon at a time. Dip the cooled doughnuts into the glaze and then decorate with the flowers.

THE COTTONWOOD BOUTIQUE HOTEL PRESENTS…

THE CHOCOLATE BUFFET It is said that you can’t buy happiness; well I disagree. In fact, for as little as £19.95 you can buy as much happiness as one can possibly enjoy. Our team was lucky enough to attend the debut of the Cottonwood’s latest experience. We were unsure and excited for what lay ahead, well, who wouldn’t be with an event entitled ‘Chocolate Buffet?!’. We waited with bated breath behind the pink velvet curtains. “Two more minutes” said a passing crew member. Almost every local media company – present company included – was photographing the event. As members of staff whizzed in and out of the guarded room, we were itching to catch a glimpse of what was inside, our mouths watering, our imaginations were running wild and the anticipation was too much! Tarynn (the hotel’s marketing guru) could see the eagerness taking hold and soon after we were ushered into the room behind the pink velvet curtains… so this is what heaven looks like! A long table, dressed with a white linen tablecloth took pride of place in the centre of the room, on it; all kinds of chocolate delights. Two chocolate fountains stood at either end, one Belgian milk chocolate and one dyed-pink white chocolate, surrounded by fruits, marshmallows and all kinds of sundries for dipping. We got closer for a better view; the silky chocolate cascaded endlessly down the podium, the flow only to be broken by zealous skewering. It was evident that this was of a superior quality, rich, aromatic and smooth, it was the perfect first course.

Before the feasting could really begin, we got to hear a little more about how it all came to be, from entrepreneur come chocolatier, Gerry Wilton, otherwise known affectionately to many of his friends and guests as the ‘Willy Wonker of the South Coast’!

A man of many talents, Gerry has been leading the chocolate event scene since 2004. He was partaking in a wedding exhibition when something caught his eye. It was the UK’s first ever cascading, chocolate fountain. Immediately inspired, Gerry placed an order for 10 machines, which he would hire out at all nature of events, including several celebrity weddings. You remember the union of famed reality stars Katie Price and Peter Andre? Well, Gerry supplied the fountain at their wedding. His business went from success to success, but something even bigger was around the corner. In 2007 Gerry opened ‘The Chocolate Boutique’, the first chocolate themed hotel, right here in Bournemouth. It was here he mastered the art of ‘chocolate entertainment’, hosting numerous parties, occasions and events and now he hopes to create something even more special with his signature chocolate banquet. Speaking of which, let us return…

cakes, but this was a winner! Sugary-sweet baked dough, with a healthy amount of warm white and dark chocolate chips; utterly divine.

Spread across the table were all kinds of indulgent delicacies; Cookies, decadent cakes, brownies – it was a sweet tooth’s heaven. Among the treats were some truly stand out dishes. A personal favourite of mine had to be the ‘White Chocolate and Baileys Cheesecake’. Ordinarily I’m a milk-dark chocolate fanatic, but given the alcoholic twist I just had to try it. Every element was perfect; this was not your run-of-the-mill cheesecake. The base was buttery and crumbled on first bite, the side, coated in chocolate naturally, was that extra special crunch I was looking for and oh the filling – what can I say? Such creamy and indulgent textures and flavours, with that distinct Irish cream accent. I could go on…

With my mind and stomach battling it out for control of the rest of me, I decided it was time to call it a day. I rolled back to the office in my euphoric state and reflected on my first chocolate buffet experience. I was thoroughly impressed and had mentally begun planning my next visit. I recommend this event for all kinds of occasions; weddings, birthdays, date nights, you name it. Don’t miss their next event on Sunday the 12th March and get in-touch to save your spot!

A surprise even to myself was my fondness for the cookies. Arguably one of the simpler dishes in comparison to the profiterole-towers or the complex

Another exciting edition was the ‘Dark Chocolate and Ameretto Cheesecake’ (anyone noticing a theme with my selection process?). Rather more like a rich mousse, this sinful cake enveloped my mouth, coating every taste bud with sweet almond savor. A single blackberry perched on top of each slice, making for a welcome zing between mouthfuls. Fearing my appetite would waver I decided to go back for just a few more things before it had a chance to realise what I was up to. I filled my plate with a chocolate brownie, a dark chocolate and espresso mousse and a coffee to sip simultaneously. What bliss, what splendor, if only everyday was a chocolate buffet.

21ST FEBRUARY THE NUTCRACKER, AT BOURNEMOUTH PAVILION THEATRE This most famous of fantasy ballets for all the family begins as night falls on Christmas Eve. As snowflakes fall outside, the warm glow of the open fire sends flickering shadows across the boughs of the Christmas tree and all the presents beneath. When midnight strikes we are swept away to a fairy-tale world where nothing is quite as it seems, toy dolls spring to life, the Mouse-king and his mouse-army battle with the Nutcracker Prince and we travel through the Land of Snow to an enchanted place where the magic really begins...

23RD FEBRUARY CHEKHOV’S SHORTS, AT POOLE LIGHTHOUSE European Arts Company presents a charming and hilarious collection of short comic plays by Anton Chekhov at Lighthouse, Poole’s Centre for the Arts on Thursday 23 February. Chekhov’s Shorts features former RSC actor Rupert Mason (A Touch of Frost, Eastenders), actor-comedian Will Hartley (Otherworld, The One Griff Rhys Jones) and exciting newcomer Eva Savage. This is a highly entertaining introduction to one of the world’s great writers. Chekhov is the second most performed playwright in the world after Shakespeare and is best known for plays such as The Seagull, The Cherry Orchard, The Three Sisters and Uncle Vanya, as well as his short stories. These short and hugely entertaining plays were originally written for Russian vaudeville theatres. Director John O’Connor says: “They represent an important moment in the development of Chekhov as a writer. They combine all the tragic-comic beauty of the longer plays with the silliness of a sketch show. This is Chekhov at his comic best, before Uncle Vanya started shooting, The Seagull got stuffed, The Three Sisters started moaning and The Cherry Orchard was ‘car-parked’.“ Chekhov’s Shorts has previously toured around Ireland, Germany and Greece, delighting audiences everywhere. The production is supported by Arts Council England. Poole Lighthouse www.lighthousepoole.co.uk
