Victoria Parade at the top end of Winton opened on the 22nd January 1927. The centre piece of the parade of shops was the Victoria Super Cinema, The Ritz. It was the centre piece of a parade of shops known as Victoria Parade. The building was requisitioned at the outbreak of war and was used as an ARP store. It was not released for civilian use until 1948. It closed in 1950 for repair work to be carried out and reopened in October of that year. Clarkes Estate Agents at 696 Wimborne Rd, are proud owners of the right hand side of the old Ritz in Victoria Parade. Steve McCullough, Managing Director said, “This was the beginning of modern Winton. The high street was busy with trams and shoppers and the whole area was prospering”. t. 01202 533 377 w. www.clarkesproperties. co.uk

ASK THE INTERIOR DESIGN EXPERT...

SHOULD YOU HIRE AN OFFICE INTERIOR DESIGNER? Katie Thomas, Design Director, KTM Design Despite some business owners thinking that hiring a professional Interior Designer may be an unnecessary expense, it could actually prove to be one of the best long term investments they make. Specialising in workplace interiors enables the designers at KTM Design to have a deep understanding of the benefits of a well-designed working environment and ensure that our clients reap the benefits. There are several reasons why hiring an Interior Designer for your office is a decision you won’t regret, and these are just a few of them: An Interior Designer will provide you with a professional assessment of the workplace, which will lead to the creation of a solid plan of action. This is crucial in helping to determine what needs to be changed and how to utilise your budget in the most efficient manner. It is important to make sure that all space is being used effectively and that the flexibility of the workspace is enhanced. This helps you to allow room for future growth and potential of the business. Time and money can be saved through thorough planning at the early stage of working with an Interior Designer. Office Interior Designers have an encyclopaedic knowledge of furniture and suppliers. They know what is the right furniture to use, where to get it from and what discounts are available. A great office interior design will mirror your company’s core values and strategic objectives and will increase the productivity of your staff. Studies have shown that staff productivity can increase by up to 25% if they are working in a well-designed office or commercial space. This will in turn increase the profits of the business. Having a well-designed workplace improves staff retention and enables you to hire the best new talent. To make everything simpler for our clients, we create photo-realistic CGIs (Computer Generated Images) of our designs to give companies the opportunity to visualise their new workspace before starting construction. This ensures they know exactly what they are getting and gives peace of mind. If you are interested in finding out more about how a professional Interior Designer can help you and your business, then please contact me at KTM Design.

ASK THE EXPERT ABOUT...

Protecting Your Furniture Steve Webber, Director of Maidmans Moving & Storage Steve has many years’ experience in the moving and storage industry. He offers the following advice about protecting your furniture during a house move. Steve says: “Packing is a crucial part of any move. Get it wrong and it can be a costly and distressing experience. At Maidmans, our staff are experienced and fully trained and can take care of some or all the packing for your move. Alternatively, you may choose to pack everything yourself”. Steve suggests that it is advisable to always use specially designed wrapping and packing materials. He says: “All the materials we use and supply are approved by The British Association of Removers (BAR). If you choose to opt for our packing service, everything will go out with the appropriate protection. Sofas will have quilted covers attached with Velcro strips to ensure no damage occurs during the move. Flat screen TV’s will be wrapped in appropriately sized protective bags. Whatever you may need to move, our removals team are experienced in packing unusual, bulky, fragile and valuable items. You can rest assured that should you need to move a grandfather clock, a grand piano, antique or precious family heirlooms, we can supply the best materials to ensure nothing gets damaged”.

From a small acorn to the mighty Great Oaks BRAND NEW BOURNEMOUTH CARE HOME IS OPEN!

Great Oaks, the residential, nursing and dementia specialist care home is located just a few minutes’ drive from Bournemouth, Ferndown and Poole. The former disused and derelict site on Poole Lane in Bournemouth has been transformed into a state-of-the-art care home, offering the very best care. Great Oaks is managed by Encore Care Homes, which opened the much-anticipated Fairmile Grange care home on the grounds at Christchurch Hospital in December of last year. Setting itself apart from many new-builds, Great Oaks is situated in a private woodland area. The serene, green location offers residents a tranquil and scenic environment where they can completely relax and enjoy the peaceful ambience.

Residents can expect nothing but the best. Great Oaks provides the highest standards of care, delicious, home-cooked meals, engaging and rewarding activities and the true feeling of homeliness. As well as the home’s dedication to ensure residents feel safe, comforted and happy, Ian MacDonald, Home Manager, is striving for the home to become a dementia resource for Bournemouth. “We are committed to help loved ones to better understand dementia through training, talks and improving awareness about the condition. I lead an incredible team of care professionals, whose compassion and kindness are at the core of everything that we do. Whether you would like to attend an Open Day, a special event, or you would just like to pop in for a cuppa and take a look around our doors are always open.”

Sharon Canning

TRUST ME I AM AN ESTATE AGENT! There was a recent poll to find the top 25 most trusted professions. Nursing was top! Estate Agency ranked 21, - just above journalists and politicians! So the hardest job for me is to prove we are different. I have lived here all my life, I was born in Poole Hospital. I know the area intimately. I know the schools, the catchment areas, the roads that sell well and the areas not to buy in! I work closely with investors looking for their first property or adding to their current portfolio on how to get the best return on their money. My own personal portfolio contains a mixture of normal rents and HMO’s (houses of multiple occupants). For example, we purchased a house in Poole at the beginning of the year. To rent to a family would have brought in around £1,000 per calendar month. We converted the house into 5 lettable rooms which now brings in a return of £2,500 pcm. I am proud to say Move On has won multiple Awards, I have a radio show I produce and present that is dedicated to the property industry and this column you are reading. The property industry is changing! On the lettings side we have over 150 new legislations that have come in alone over the last few years. The government is not our friend! Landlords will be facing bigger tax bills over the next 4 years. In the Queens speech recently, it was announced as an addition to banning tenant fees to also cap deposits - to be no more than the monthly rent. This will leave no money in the pot if the tenant does not pay the last months rent. Let alone alienate families with pets.

Human Kitchens

riginally from Hayling Island in Hampshire, Benjamin did most of his growing up in Italy and has spent a lot of time travelling to Barcelona where he picked up his keen eye for design.

Ben runs Human Kitchens based in Swanmore, with offices in West Sussex and the Test Valley. Ben has a successful career in Kitchen design and has worked some of the 'big names' in the UK kitchen industry. Human Kitchens specialise in bespoke, high quality, made to measure kitchens. Ben wanted to be able to offer top quality kitchens at the fraction of the cost, with excellent customer service. “There’s are a lot of customers who would use a high-street retailer to source their kitchen and find it difficult (if not impossible) to purchase the size and style they wanted, to fit their space. The materials could also be low quality, for instance, rather than being real oak it would be veneer.”

Quality, affordability and service are paramount to Ben, proof that Ben is achieving these results was shown recently, when his company won Best in Customer Service 2017 award from Houzz. His clients would describe Human Kitchens as a company they can really work with, a company they get great quality from and a company they get a great end result with, without having to spend the earth. When Ben was asked how people would describe him he replied “How have they described me? Passionate, I think would be the best word.”

If you are considering a new kitchen, Human Kitchens would love to hear from you. Free Fisher & Paykel Double Draw Dishwasher worth £999.99 with every new kitchen ordered and installed by Human Kitchens before 1st September 2017*

Ben is proud of the high quality 'British Made' hand crafted kitchens they provide. Ben explains, “If someone wanted to buy a kitchen of our quality from the high street they would be far too expensive, you will find in most cases that you are paying for the brand name, not the quality of the product.” Human Kitchens set to overcome this by slashing the price of their hand made kitchens. They keep their overheads to a minimum by avoiding the use of flashy showrooms and not charging hefty premiums for their brand. Ben tells us that this allows him to supply and fit a £60,000 kitchen for well under half the price and still provide a perfect service. Ben explains how his team are true craftsmen, “I think, our craftsmen are amongst the best in the world. They come from a luxury yacht fitting background. Fitting luxury yachts involves working to unusual layouts and specific customer requirements, whilst achieving a perfect finish. There is a world of difference between a craftsman and a kitchen fitter. A kitchen fitter can fit a kitchen, but as soon as there is a slight curve in the wall or something is not quite right with the room, problems begin. A craftsman can make something wonderful out of that situation, as opposed to being stopped by it.”

Fisher & Paykel Double DishDrawer™ Dishwasher with water softener Designed to fit existing kitchen cabinetry, DishDrawer™ Double dishwashers have comparable dimensions to those of traditional dishwashers but provide the benefit of two independent drawers for added convenience and ergonomics.

*Minimum spend on Human Kitchens installation of £15,000.

GARDEN TRENDS “FLAVOURS OF THE MED”

OUTDOOR LIVING

Despite the unpredictable nature of British weather, we love being outdoors and whom better to take inspiration from than our Mediterranean cousins. Our friends over in continental Europe have it right when it comes to alfresco living and so in the spirit of afternoon naps and drinking before five, here are some of our favourite ways to transform your garden into an overseas oasis.

Nature in The Balance When it comes to selecting furniture, take a note from Mother Nature. Our landscape is full of contrasting texture; rural bark versus fragile foliage, blossom versus branch and so on and so forth…opt for rustic wooden tables, balanced with dainty accompanying chairs for a rustic look. RIGHT: Indoor Outdoor Cleo Rug In Blue, £695, available from Cuckooland (cuckooland.com) BELOW: Bohemian Hammock in Natural Cotton, £115, available from Cuckooland (cuckooland.com)

A Rich Tapestry Soften your surroundings by adding outdoor specific rugs and textiles. This trend has been springing up a lot this year (taking the indoor out and visa versa) and people love it. In the theme of all things Mediterranean make a statement with a sea-inspired colour scheme: think deep blues, greens and not forgetting the incorporation of neutrals for balance.

Aqua Vitae

For ensuring a sense of Zen, there’s nothing quite like the sound of gently running water. Studies show that the presence of water can profoundly improve your health and general well being. Local suppliers Pond Stars UK create truly unique ponds and water features, made to your specifications. These creations blend seamlessly with the organic environment, making the most of natural surroundings with all the benefits of helping the local wildlife with a new and exciting habitat. As it is a bespoke service, the sky is the limit when it comes to design, whether you’re traditional or more contemporary, their skilled designers can create something incredible. DESIGNER TIP: Oxidized metal is so on trend right now. Just like ripped jeans, it’s best left to the professionals, but there are some great products on the market.

In Bloom When it comes to landscaping, there are a few plants you can use to make a maximum impact. Some of these will take longer to grow and bloom so you may want to consider some advanced planning. For an authentic look opt for a herbaceous flowerbed; lavender, sage and rosemary are perfect due to the frosted green quality of their leaves. For larger scale landscaping consider the use of olive, lemon, bay and birch trees. For planters, try to maintain the natural look with wooden, clay or rustic stone pots. By Charlotte Williams Photo Credit: PRshots.com LEFT: Heart of House Rio Bistro Rattan Set, £299.99, available from Argos (www.argos.co.uk)

Warm-up Fire pits are the patio heater of 2017 and some companies really go out of their way to create stunning pieces. To be in keeping with this look, opt for something with a rustic edge. The ‘OFYR Classic 100-100 Firepit / BBQ With Storage’, combines both rustic aesthetics with modernised technology. Ensure your storage is always filled with ornate logs for an idyllic organic look.

Accessorise When it comes to finishing touches, lanterns are perfect for creating a fairytale retreat. For a truly med-look mix in warm metallics such as gold, rose gold and copper but for a more modern edge go for silver. What lantern would be complete without a candle? Tapered pillar candles are the best for creating a romantic, elegant look, but stick to neutral colours. Another great flourish is the incorporation of ceramics. Synonymous with the roof tops of Santorini, blue and white porcelain are ideal. Lay your table with plates and cups of a similar ilk. You can further incorporate this look with outdoor cushions and blankets too. RIGHT: Next Solar Lantern (Set of 2) £45.00, available from Next (www.next.co.uk)

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

HIGH POWER SKODA OCTAVIA

148

The new Skoda Ocatvia vRS 245 is the most powerful vRS model ever available in the UK. Offering 245 PS (242 hp), it has a top speed of just 6.6 seconds. Available in hatch and estate forms, with sixspeed manual or a new sevenspeed DSG transmission, it is priced from £27,595. Says Skoda: “Thanks to the standard fitment of an electronically regulated limited-slip differential, drivers can fully exploit the car’s performance - even in challenging conditions. The VAQ limited-slip differential was originally developed for motorsport.” Externally, the vRS 245 is distinguished by striking 19-inch ‘Xtreme’ gloss black alloy wheels, gloss black front grille, door mirror housings and exhaust tailpipes. Inside, the vRS 245’s cabin features heated and electrically adjustable vRS sports seats trimmed in Alcantara and decorative trim panels finished in gloss black. The colour multifunction trip computer, located in the main instrument panel between the speedometer and rev counter, also includes a lap timer as standard. Other equipment highlights shared with the standard vRS range include Amundsen satellite navigation with eightinch display and integrated Wi-Fi, full LED headlights with adaptive front light system and LED daytime running lights, LED interior light pack (10 colours) and a Super sport three-spoke leather multifunction steering wheel with vRS logo and paddles for DSG-equipped models.

ROAD TEST: ISUZU D MAX BLADE DOUBLE CAB In recent years, sales of pick-ups have surged - especially in double-cab form as they can be tough workhorses one day and family transport the next. And as pick-ups are classed as light commercial vehicles, business users can reclaim the VAT, another significant benefit, writes NICK FLETCHER. There is plenty of pick-up choice and one of the leading contenders is the Isuzu D Max, available in single, extended and double cab form, with prices starting at £15,749 CV On The Road. Four-door double cabs are by far the most popular, and are very well equipped, with most of the features you would find on a family or even luxury car. My recent test model, a D Max in top-spec Blade trim had 4 power windows, remote locking, keyless entry and push button start, cruise control, climate control, DAB radio, Bluetooth, Apple Car Play and Auto Android for compatible smartphones, 9-inch multi-function screen, sat-nav, leather upholstery, front side and curtain airbags, 18-inch alloy wheels, and reversing camera among its kit – impressive in this class. With six-speed auto gearbox this model is £27,999 CV On The Road.

The latest D Max has a new 1.9 litre 162 hp diesel engine and has enough power to tow up to 3.5 tonnes and carry a 1.1 tonne payload. Fuel consumption is 36.3 mpg combined. Underway the D Max is civilised to drive and the autobox is refined and efficient with the changes. There is a little more engine noise than in some rivals but it is not really intrusive. Most pick-ups exhibit some pitch on the corners due to their higher centre of gravity and the D Max is no exception through it always feels fully under control, and ride quality on the tarmac is very good. From the outside, the D Max looks formidable, its tall wide stance dominant. Climb aboard and you find a simple, functional dashboard which is easy to use, including the touch screen functions. Piano-black inserts and leather upholstery boosts the interior look, and the seating is comfortable. The rear seats will take three occupants and the squabs fold upwards to boost cabin loadspace when not in use, a handy feature. There are also plenty of cubby-holes for oddments. This work/family/leisure versatility explains the boom in pickup sales in recent years, a trend which shows no signs of abating.

SUPERB EQUIPMENT UPGRADE ŠKODA has upgraded its Superb flagship range with extra features which include automatic emergency call as additional security, more comfort features, and extended connectivity solutions. Both saloon and estate versions of the Superb come with Care Connect as standard from Ambition trim upwards – regardless of the choice of infotainment system. Care Connect is an automatic emergency call feature which is activated following an accident if a restraint system has been triggered. The vehicle establishes a voice and data connection to an emergency call centre and transmits all the necessary data. The emergency call can also be initiated manually via a button in the roof module. In addition, remote access to the vehicle is now possible via the ŠKODA Connect App. The smartphone can inform the driver, among other things, whether the windows and doors are closed or the lights are off. The parking position function shows the location of the vehicle, the “Honk & Flash” function makes it easier to find the car by activating the horn and hazard lights. The display of the Columbus navigation system has grown from 8 to 9.2 inches and with the SmartLink+ system

now offers additional networking between the vehicle and smartphone. SmartLink+ brings navigation, infotainment and communication apps from the mobile phone into the car and also provides vehicle data for the evaluation on the smartphone. Other upgrades include Park Distance Control, driver´s seat with a massage function and improved occupant communication with voice amplication.

ASTON MARTIN NEW V8 ENGINE

ROAD TEST: SEAT LEON XCELLENCE TECHNOLOGY The SEAT Leon is smart sporty hatchback based on the architecture of its stablemate the VW Golf, and that is a very good starting point. The Golf is noted for its poised and agile chassis and sets class standards for build-integrity. SEAT takes those credentials and adds some stylish Spanish flair with a distinctly sporting edge, writes NICK FLETCHER. The Leon range includes a racy SC coupe and a practical estate but the big-seller is the five door hatch, which starts at £17,455. There is a wide choice of engines – 1.0 to 1.8 litre petrol units and 1.6 and 2.0 litre diesels. My test model was a 2.0 litre 148 hp diesel in upper range Xcellence Technology trim and priced at £23,830. Standard kit is extensive and highlights include auto lights and wipers, keyless entry, 17-inch alloy wheels, 8-inch touchscreen with sat-nav, DAB radio/CD, and connectivity features, climate and cruise control, and rear parking sensors and useful smartphone charger pad. The Leon was re-vamped last year and has a subtle new look but its major plus-point is its superb driving

dynamics. It is quick, responsive, nimble, composed and has outstanding handling, an overall package very hard to beat in the sector. The 2.0 litre diesel in the test model delivered its power smoothly and eagerly, and the 6-speed gearshift was slick and precise, underlined by 0-60 mph time of just 8.4 seconds and a top speed of 134 mph. However, fuel economy is still exceptionally good – 72.4 mpg combined. The Leon has a sleek exterior which does pull some admiring glances and the revised cabin, which at a glance appearing unexceptional, it proves to be well thought out, with all the controls easy to find and use. Cabin space is very good, with generous room for four adults, wide rear doors for easy access and a big boot – 380 litres expandable to 1,210 litres with the rear seats folded. SEAT’s reputation for producing value for money models with a sporty persona is well established and this latest Leon dutifully upholds that with its engaging driving feel and charismatic presence.

Aston Martin’s DB11 GT is now available with a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine. With 503 hp, the car reaches 60mph in 4.0 seconds and has a top speed of 187 mph. Fuel economy is 28.5mpg combined. It is priced from £144,900. Inside, both the new V8 and its V12 stablemate have the same standard equipment levels and the same choice of colour and trim options. They can also elect to enhance the specification of their car via the same Option Packs and Designer Specification packages. Aston Martin President and CEO, Dr Andy Palmer said of the V8-engined DB11: “The DB11 is the most complete and sophisticated car Aston Martin has ever made. Now, with this new V8 engine option we have broadened its appeal by offering a car that will bring the DB11 to more customers around the world while still blessed with the exceptional performance and memorable character that sets Aston Martin apart from its rivals.”

NEW INSIGNIA SPORTS TOURER Vauxhall’s all-new Insignia Sports Tourer is on sale now priced from £18,685. It is based on a completely new vehicle architecture,is 200kg lighter than its predecessor and has larger capacity. Luggage volume has increased to 1,665 litres, 135 litres, more than the outgoing model. The length of the boot has grown by 97mm to 2005mm versus the previous model and 40/20/40 foldable seats are standard across the range. For those pulling a caravan or a trailer, towing capacity is now up to 2200kg. It has an all-wheel-drive system with torque vectoring and a new eight-speed automatic transmission. Many functions are controlled via the touchscreen to simplify the interface, while all functions have been grouped into three distinct sections to allow quick and intuitive operations: the upper ones for the major functions of the infotainment system, the central ones for climate and heating controls, and the lower ones for driver assistant controls. The engine range is the same as that for the hatchback version, a mix of 1.5 and 2.0-litre turbo petrols and 1.6 and 2.0-litre diesels.

FOOD & DRINK

DOWN BY THE RIVER I thought they were joking: panna cotta made with seaweed? Surely River Cottage’s head forager John Wright’s in cahoots with head chef Gill Meller? Setting a room of novices - which includes me - up for a fall come the end of lunch, when we’d all have to dish up a salty sludge of sea green cream to celebrity chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall. Either that or we’re actually about to make two dishes, and they’d just jumbled up all the ingredients. But no - it turns out, as I discover by the end of the day, you really can use stewed, smooshed fronds of seaweed, strained through muslin, as a gelatin alternative to set a creamy panna cotta. It’s one of many interesting facts I glean during a foggy morning spent cooking, foraging and eating at River Cottage HQ, a picturesque farm and cookery school wedged in a valley on the DorsetDevon border. A rickety tractor ride takes us down to meet the River Cottage team, a group of food writers, experts and teachers, led by Fearnley-Whittingstall, who have put together a grand book, River Cottage A To Z, an opus containing more than 350 recipes, dedicated to their favourite ingredients - and it’s huge; the definition of a doorstopper, one that requires not insignificant bicep muscles to heft.

Grilled Flounder & Tomatoes (Serves 2)

The book is a stunner, but it’s easy to become distracted when you’ve been shepherded into a yurt and are being plied with still warm tahini flatbreads and split pea hummus around a fire. You certainly don’t go hungry at River Cottage. Bellies almost full, Wright takes us on a tour of the grounds and kitchen garden, guiding us as we forage for herbs to flavour our desserts, knocking down sprays of musky elderflower with a staff when we can’t reach, telling us to get our noses into plants like lemon verbena and lavender, and to sniff scrunched up currant leaves. Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall (Photo Credit: PA Photo/Simon Wheeler)

He even wades into a stream to pluck water mint leaves, and provides a running commentary on foraging misconceptions (“Don’t confuse elderflower with fool’s parsley, unless you want cordial tasting of cat wee”), recipe ideas (“Gooseberry fool is always a winner”) and drinking tips - his home-made grass vodka is particularly pungent when sipped at 11am on a Thursday, and smells very much like a horse stable. Thankfully, the vodka doesn’t knock my cookery skills too much, as lunch - two courses prepared by the River Cottage chefs (little gem and broad bean salad, followed by fragrant pork belly with noodles), and then dessert by me and my fellow novices - is still to go.

through its back catalogue of TV shows and books, or its hands-on cookery courses, but somehow it doesn’t overwhelm. Perhaps it’s the sheer amount of enthusiasm that drives the place, which means that while putting seaweed in a pudding might be bamboozling at first, by the time you’re whisking it into shape and sticking it in the freezer, everything makes total, straightforward sense. River Cottage A To Z is massive, heavy and stuffed with recipes, but there’s ease and simplicity woven into it, too. By Ella Walker, Press Association

This may all sound daunting - and certainly, you are bombarded by incredible amounts of knowledge and skill when encountering River Cottage, whether

Ingredients 300-400g ripe tomatoes (ideally a mix of varieties, including cherry tomatoes) 3tbsp olive or rapeseed oil, plus a little extra for the fish 2 garlic cloves, sliced 1tsp ground cumin, plus a little extra for the fish 2 large flounder (about 500g each), filleted Sea salt and black pepper Salad and fresh bread, to serve

Method Preheat the grill to high. Halve cherry tomatoes and cut larger varieties into 1cm slices. Lay the tomatoes out in a single layer on a large, shallow baking tray. Trickle over the oil, then scatter over the garlic and cumin and season generously with salt and pepper. Place the tomatoes under the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes until tender, juicy and lightly blistered, turning them carefully halfway through. Meanwhile, rub the flounder fillets with a little oil and season with salt and pepper and a pinch of cumin. Carefully nestle the fish, skin side up, among the grilled tomatoes. Return to the grill and cook for a further four to five minutes, or until the fish is just cooked through.

FOOD & DRINK

Roasted Chicory With Honey, Mustard & Thyme (Serves 4-6)

PA Photo/Simon Wheeler

Ingredients

Method

1kg piece free-range bone-in pork belly, cut from the thick end, skin scored 8-12 spring onions, trimmed, tops reserved 4 garlic cloves, sliced 1 finger-sized piece of root ginger, thinly sliced 1 medium-hot red chilli, roughly chopped A large bunch of coriander, stalks removed and reserved Zest of 1 large lime, plus some of the juice A pinch of sugar Tamari or soy sauce, to taste 2-3 nests of dried egg noodles (about 200g) A drop of rapeseed or sesame oil 200g cherry tomatoes Sea salt and black pepper

First remove the bones from the pork: starting in the thickest corner, use a sharp meat filleting knife to make a cut immediately under the ribs. Keeping the knife tight to the underside of the bones, work carefully and slowly down from the corner, gradually releasing the ribs from the meat until you can remove them, all in one piece. Cut between the bones to release the individual ribs.

Cook the pork for a further three hours. Add a little more water if you need to during cooking to stop the lovely juices from the pork burning.

Place these in a stockpot with the spring onion tops, garlic, ginger, chilli, coriander stems and lime zest. Pour over one litre of water and bring to a gentle simmer over a medium heat. Cook for one and a half hours.

Remove the pork from the oven and allow it to rest while you cook the noodles according to the packet instructions. Drain, refresh under cold water, then drain again and toss with the tiniest drop of oil, just to stop them sticking together.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 220C/Fan 200C/Gas 7. Place the boned pork, skin side up, in a suitably sized roasting tin. Season it well with salt and pepper and cook in the middle of the oven for about 30 minutes, or until the skin starts to blister. This is the beginning of your crackling - donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be afraid to give the joint another five to 10 minutes at this high heat to get that blistering going (though do watch that the juices arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t burning).

To serve, reheat the pork stock. Remove the crackling from the pork and snap it into pieces (you can give it a final blast under the grill if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not quite crisp enough). Quarter the tomatoes and slice the spring onions on the diagonal. Tear the pork roughly into pieces.

Now turn the heat down to 150C/Fan 130C/Gas 2 and add half a glass of water to the roasting tin.

Once the stock has simmered for long enough, pass it through a fine sieve into a clean pan. Season with salt, a good pinch of sugar, tamari or soy and lime juice to taste.

Divide the shredded pork between large warmed bowls and add the noodles, tomatoes and spring onions. Ladle the hot stock equally into the bowls, and finish with some pieces of crackling and a generous scattering of coriander leaves. 151

HEALTH & BEAUTY The latest beauty tips and treatments from the owner of Chic Beauty Salon & Academy, Sophie Tamagna

SLEEP YOUR WAY TO HEALTHIER SKIN The term “beauty sleep” is more than an expression. Your consciousness may clock out when your head hits the pillow, but it’s during sleep that many internal body functions, including those that keep skin looking healthy, shift into overdrive. DNA repair, cellular detox and cellular production all rev up while we lie idle between the sheets. “The body uses sleep time for internal housekeeping,” explains Annette King, Director of Global Education at Dermalogica and The International Dermal Institute. “This is when we process nutrients, detoxify, renew and recharge, so giving your body ample time to accomplish all this is critical for keeping your skin — not to mention your overall health — in peak condition.” Bottom line: If you’re not getting enough sleep — an average of seven hours a night — you are depriving your body of its requisite downtime. This accelerates the skin ageing process. If your body is chronically deprived of sleep, the effects become physically and visibly noticeable. During the day, skin is busy fighting off invaders while defending against and neutralising environmental causes of stress, but at night, while we sleep and blood flow increases, skin switches from protection mode into rapid-repair mode. So if we want our best skin ever, it’s important to do all we can to maximise its recovery time. For healthy, glowing skin by morning, Double Cleanse your face to wash away the day’s excess oil and grime, then apply a targeted treatment

like Dermalogicas Overnight Repair Serum prior to your nightly moisturiser. When your skin is free of barriers like sunscreen and makeup, it is prepped to better receive the highly concentrated ingredients found in serums. Dermalogicas Overnight Repair Serum contains skin-nourishing essential oils and antioxidant-rich plant extracts that help protect skin from dryness and dehydration while peptides and seaweeds help stimulate collagen to promote firmness. Almost half of Britons regularly get just six hours’ sleep, 25 per cent less than the recommended seven to eight hours. Sleep is a time for the body to heal, renew and eliminate toxins from the skin, when sleep is reduced, so is the body’s ability to carry out these functions. As you age, even a night of insufficient sleep shows on your skin, which sags, bags, and dulls. Insomnia can make a person look ten years older because of stress-induced changes in facial tissue. The term “beauty sleep” is more than an expression. Of course, everyone looks better after a good night’s sleep but this observation is backed by science. As the body settles into the deepest stage of rest, growth hormones peak and stimulate cell and tissue repair. Without enough deep sleep, the repair process of your skin will be slowed, resulting in ageing. Sleep deprivation can cause skin damage at a number of levels. It can raise the cortisol levels

hence it can worsen inflammatory conditions. Poor collagen formation also takes place with sleep deprivation leading to skin ageing. In addition, there is increased oxidative stress at cellular level and the accumulation of the ‘oxidative stress’ can lead to poor skin quality and premature ageing with poor quality skin. Poor lymphatic drainage and fluid accumulation leads to puffy eyes or the appearance of dark circles around the eyes. Sophie’s tips for a good night’s sleep “When I haven’t had enough sleep, the delicate skin around my eyes looks tired and I get a few little extra lines, When I am really worn out my skin can look dull. I try to stay hydrated as that helps, but after a certain point I know I have to stop and recuperate. For me, sleep is as important to my health as a good diet and keeping fit.” 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

VISJEUNE

10 ways to improve your self-confidence this summer! There is an enormous amount of pressure on us women to look a certain way, wherever you look; magazines, television, social media, they all seem to only have room for a certain ‘look’. Confidence is a woman’s best friend, if she has that, nothing can stop her, but a woman who has lost sight of what makes her beautiful is soul destroying. The truth is, there is no amount of change that can pull you out of a self-hating rut if you don’t deal with the problem on a deeper level, which is why Lisa (owner and operator of Visjuene clinic) is leading the cosmetic industry from the heart, woman to woman. Though Lisa is a professional cosmetic nurse by trade, she is a firm believer in encouraging less permanent alternatives to those who come looking to go under the knife or needle. So in an effort to boost women’s self confidence here at 10 great tips along with treatments you could indulge in at Clinic Visjuene, to help you feel great this summer.

Hydration & Daily SPF

I know its something we hear all of the time, but just upping your daily water in-take can have a huge effect on your mood, your skin and your body. Increasing your water intake can flush out all the toxins in your body to improve the health of your skin and your body. As people age it becomes a lot more difficult for your body to retain water, so by storing more water into your system, you are assisting your body and skin in staying hydrated. Water keeps your body hydrated and refreshed and helps maintain your skins elasticity. The sun is persistent. It doesn’t take a break and releases harmful UV rays all day, all year round. Even on cloudy days UV rays still break through. Without daily protection you can expect a loss of elasticity an increase in wrinkles and issues with skin’s pigmentation. Think of it like an apple left out too long; it becomes dry, wrinkled and dehydrated. This is the same with your skin without an SPF.

Diet

Maintaining a balanced diet (not a crazy new weight loss frenzy) can help you build a healthy, happy body. So often we focus on cutting everything out in the hopes of making drastic changes in a short amount of time, but to ensure permanent, lifechanging results you have to change this mindset. Think of food as fuel for your body, give it the right stuff and it will run forever (and look great).

Treat yourself

So often we forget that the reason celebrities look so good all of the time is that it is quite literally their job to do so. So, cut yourself some slack and treat yourself to a little you time with a manicure or pedicure. Visjuene Nail treatments: £22 shellac express manicure, £33 Shellac Spa Pedicure.

Step out with confidence, with a little added boost from the magical powers of the Shrinking Violet body wrap; the revolutionary, clinically proven, inch-loss body wrap.

Carbon Facial

It is great for people with blackheads, enlarged pores and oily or dull skin. It provides an instant refreshed appearance and leaves skin feeling smoother and firmer. A layer of carbon is applied and penetrates deep into the pores. The Laser light is extremely attracted to the carbon and when the laser is over the area, it destroys the carbon, taking dead skin cells and contaminants with it.

26TH - 29TH JULY ‘MADE IN DAGENHAM’ - THE MUSICAL, AT THE REGENT CENTRE, CHRISTCHURCH

21ST JULY RHYTHM OF THE DANCE, AT LIGHTHOUSE, POOLE’S CENTRE FOR THE ARTS

It’s back to the swinging sixties as the award-winning Highcliffe Charity Players get groovy with their latest musical – ‘Made in Dagenham’, the inspiring, heart-warming story about a group of Dagenham female factory workers who made history fighting for women’s rights against the might of Ford. It is staged at the Regent Centre, Christchurch, for five performances (including a Saturday matinee) from Wednesday 26th to Saturday 29th July 2017, and sponsored by local Ford dealers, Keith Motors. Adapted from the much-loved 2010 British film, this funfilled, high octane, feel-good show was inspired by true-life events – the 1968 women sewing machinists’ strike at the Ford Motor Company’s Dagenham plant in Essex, which would lead to the Equal Pay Act of 1970. The show is written by playwright Richard Bean (One Man, Two Guvnors) with a catchy rock and pop score from Grammy Award-winning British composer David Arnold (Sherlock, Little Britain, Independence Day and Quantum of Solace) and lyrics by Richard Thomas (Jerry Springer:The Opera).

Rhythm of the Dance creates a new era in Irish entertainment when it comes to Lighthouse, Poole’s Centre for the Arts on 21 July, reliving the journey of the Irish Celts throughout history. Combining traditional dance and music with the most up to date stage technology, the show is a thousand-year-old story executed with all the advantages of a modern-day stage show. Featuring world champion dancers, a traditional Irish band, and the handsome Young Irish Tenors, this talented cast has been wowing audiences all over the world as the show celebrates a renewed vigour in Irish culture. Rhythm of the Dance embraces traditional, current and the ancient SeanNos dance styles, and is internationally rated as one of the most popular and successful Irish Step Dance shows on tour.

We wanted to know what all the fuss was about...

THE PAMPER LOUNGE A little you time Sometimes a girl needs to escape her routine, put aside all dependency from work and home and just indulge in a little ‘you time’. In our on-going pursuit to review Dorset’s greatest spas and salons, we visited power-duo and besties ‘Kim’ and ‘Rachel’ at their brand new salon ‘The Pamper Lounge’. Having both studied and worked in the industry for several years it had always been a dream of the girls to have their own salon. Tired of working within other salons, the girls stuck their heads together and started planning how they could turn their dream into a reality. Shortly after the initial discussion, a potential site became available – it was a sign. The girls rushed to see the abandoned store. Walking around the empty shell the girls could barely contain their excitement, they could see the buildings potential and how they could put their mark on it. Well, before they could say anymore the deeds had been signed and shortly all of the plans they had made were brought to life by Kim’s husband/handyman. It’s an inspiring story for all entrepreneurs out there; two girls who worked hard all of their life and it had finally paid off. We arrived at their Southbourne salon on a sunny Wednesday afternoon. Vicky and I could barely contain our excitement. We burst through the door only to find Kim and Rachel happily working away on the nails of some regular clients. The girls shot us a smile and invited us to get comfy whilst we

waited. Shortly after an array of coffee’s and glass bottled waters appeared, a welcomed extra special touch t. to a day of pampering. A sip or two later and it was time to get ready for our massage. Vicky and I were shown to their double treatment room (all the better for gossiping and idle girly chit chat). We whipped our gear off and slid into our own plush towel covered massage couches. Having finished their previous clients Kim and Rachel returned to begin our first treatment. The lights were dimmed and the tranquil sounds of and running water, chirping birds and gentle chimes played in the background soundtrack. A wave of serenity and calm washed over me as the warm oil was ever to gently applied to my back. It was divine. In the weeks before our salon visit, in an attempt to sculpt some form of ‘beach body’ I had been hitting the gym pretty hard, that, in addition to sitting at a desk 5 days a week had resulted in some serious tightness in and around my shoulders, but my knots were no match for Kim’s miracle-working hands. Massage isn’t about following a rulebook, a good masseuse will gauge what is needed based on the individual and that’s exactly what Kim did. She spent due care and attention working the tension out of my shoulders; no knot was left unraveled, yet I still left without feeling like I’d been kneaded like a pizza base. My partner in crime Vicky, a self-confessed massage-phobic also commented on how relaxed she felt post treatment.

An hour later, having worked my neck, back and legs the massage was over and it was time to pay attention to our paws and claws. After changing, the girls lead us to their nail stations where we each took a seat. We all had such a fantastic time laughing and chatting away and before I knew it I looked down to a full-set of gorgeous nail extensions. Beautifully shaped and the perfect length, I was so pleased! Rachel topped my talons with a healthy coat of blush pink and let the gel polish set. As a standard, whenever the girls are giving a nail treatment, gel is always the first given option, whilst they do stock some varnishes, they prefer to give customers a superior treatment at no extra cost. We left the salon feeling a million dollars. There’s nothing better than the feeling of stepping out, full of confidence and that’s exactly what we did with our total bill coming to no more than £50 you can sleep a little easier having not forked out hundreds to look and feel fabulous. Be sure to visit Kim and Rachel at their brand new salon ASAP! The Pamper Lounge regularly hold offers on their Facebook page, so be sure to check it out. By Charlotte Williams t. 01202 835867 a.

FOOD & DRINK

FRANCO MANCA Humble, Authentic, Delicious. As Robin Leach once said, “In Italy, they add work and life, onto food and wine” - now THAT’S a philosophy a girl can get behind. We had been invited to an exclusive press evening, complete with pizza making and wine tasting, at the newly opened ‘Franco Manca’ – don’t mind if I do! Located in the once Debenhams menswear department is the new and shiny ‘Franco Manca’ the new ‘it’ pizza joint. Gone are the stacks of woolen jumpers and colourcoordinated socks and in its place are pendant lights, rustic wooden tables and industrial shelves filled with organic wine, chopped tomatoes and pickled artichokes. We scanned the room, our attention immediately being grabbed by their open kitchen. Three chefs were busily working away in front of a gargantuan stone pizza oven, a whirlwind of fast moving hands, flying dough and flour merged into one awe-inspiring vision. “Apperol Spritz?” came a voice from behind, a voice that was attached to a cheery looking man with a cocktail in the hand of an outstretched arm – well, when in Rome. A slug of delicious cocktail and an olive or two later our pizza maestro – Executive Chef ‘Alfonso Marseglia’ – popped up from behind the bustling hot plate. Adorned with a warming smile and a lulling Italian accident, he instantly made us feel at home, if not

somewhat in awe. One by one Alfonso lead us into the kitchen to make our very own pizzas, sharing secret hints and tips along the way, all of which washed over me like that 3rd cocktail I’d had. But despite a fear of shaming myself in front of the pros (and some minor inebriation – thank you bar team) I had such a fantastic time and my horizons had been broadened to a new and exciting way to make pizza. If you don’t know already, the theme is ‘sourdough pizza’. The key ingredient (in addition to talented chefs and insatiable passion) to making their dough is a live ingredient know to bakers as ‘Fresh Starter’; a porridge like substance containing organic flour, salt and cool or tepid water (depending on the room’s temperature). This is no simple task; this mixture is then left to prove for a couple of days, with regular supervision and feeding. The live (good) bacteria in this blend are what give their dough that signature flavour and wonderful elasticity. It has to be tried to be believed, but for me Franco Manca make the best pizza dough around. Having thoroughly embarrassed myself in the kitchen it was time to sit down and let the professionals do their thing. Despite today’s set feast, we took the opportunity to glance over their menu for future reference. To my

surprise their staple menu consists only of 6 pizzas, with the addition of some daily specials too. I flipped by placemat menu over to reveal a list of ingredients complete with origin, qualities and a ton of information on the seasonal produce that they use. These guys are diligent when it comes to their food philosophy. No aspect of their menu is left to chance. The culinary masterminds behind the brand spend a lot of time finding the best possible ingredients to top their signature dough. Never was this more evident then when taking my first bite of cured organic choritzo (No.6

on their menu), when the complex smokiness and rich meaty flavour totally took me by surprise. Paired with a sweep of tomato base and sparing amounts of Somerset mozzarella, each ingredient stood out on it’s own, whilst at the same time unifying in an explosion of complimentary flavours. In addition to this delicate meat feast, I also had the opportunity of trying their signature courgette pizza. Unlike most pizza’s this was without a tomato base, instead a creamy cheese enhanced sauce, topped with lashings of chargrilled courgette and yet more cheese – ricotta and parmesan – finished with a sprinkle of fresh basil, made for a seriously tasty, alternative pizza. Our experience was made complete with a wine tasting session, held by sommelier Francesco Cali. Much like the food, the drinks list is rich with organic, handpicked goodies. Two absolute must-tries include a deep rose (delivered straight from Francesco Cirelli’s organic farm in Italy) and an exciting and alternative sparkling red, the ‘Lambrusco (Grasparossa di Castelvetro)’. I could go on and on about this incredible chain. Their dedication to quality produce, along with a shared passion among all staff, makes this pizza place by far the best around.
