CHRISTMAS AT JOHN LEWIS Dan Cooper, Christmas Buyer at John Lewis tells us, “Buying Christmas decorations for John Lewis must be one of the best jobs in the world. We are always developing new ideas to excite our customers, and this year we have travelled the world to bring together seven brand new decoration themes. Each of our themes is inspired by the fables and traditions of a particular country or region - Folklore takes its cue from Eastern European traditions, whilst Winter Palace tells the story of Russia’s Father Frost and his helper, the Snow Maiden. Being a lover of the great outdoors, my favourite theme this year is Into the Woods, which is set in the mossy, enchanted forests of Ireland. “This autumn our shops will take personalisation to the next level as we introduce Christmas Villages into a total of 11 locations, bringing together everything you could wish for when preparing for Christmas.” Don’t miss out, visit John Lewis and start your Christmas preparation early!

THE LAUNCH OF FLOODMATE – THE ADVANCED SOLUTION TO SURFACE WATER FLOODING Two Dorset business men Andy Pedrick and Gino Abate have created a revolutionary product – an emergency flood barrier that takes only 30mins to install, and can be used to protect against expensive flood damage for a number of different applications. They officially unveiled the new creation with an evening reception of drinks and canapes, and video demonstrations at the Sturminster Golf Club, where guests were wowed by the product design and efficiency. Floodmate is quick and easy to install, and can be used just about anywhere, it is suitable for businesses and for your home, and can be used to protect properties from flooding in a variety of areas such as front and back doors, garages, sheds, gates, driveways or anywhere else that is vulnerable to flooding and flash flooding. The flood prevention works by using water pressure and smart polymers to create a seal with your house/business wall and the ground to create a barrier to stop water seeping through. This can then protect from up to 300mm of water. When no longer needed it can be easily emptied, removed and folds up for convenient storage and reuse. Said Andy Pedrick, Inventor and CoDirector of Floodmate, “We wanted to create a ground-breaking product that is quick and easy to use, affordable and suitable for all types of businesses and homes in the result of a flash flood. Floodmate is proven to be the perfect solution for an emergency flood barrier and can also be used to divert water away from exposed areas. It is available in various designs and sizes to suit your required area and its non-permanent fixture means it can be used for multiple purposes.” For more information visit www. floodmate.co.uk or call 0800 0932690

They targeted themselves to raise £1,000.00 and the team were overwhelmed that they reached this target before even starting due to the generosity from the local community.

WHAT IS THE GOVERNMENTS RIGHT TO RENT? As part of the Immigration Act 2014, the Government has made it a requirement for landlords to check the immigration status of prospective tenants. This means that you need to vet new tenants right to live in the UK, to ensure you don’t let to anyone who is in the UK illegally. The Governments Right to Rent Scheme legally passes the responsibly of checking a tenants right to rent a property to the landlords; with criminal sanctions and penalties for non-compliance. Kate West, Divisional Lettings Director comments ‘Landlords have been hit with a number of new and updated legislations in the last two years, to include the Government’s Right to Rent Scheme’ Kate continues ‘Landlords can leave themselves vulnerable and in a position where they are not legally compliant if they are not kept up to date with the latest and ever changing legislation. Goadsby will ensure that the immigration status of tenants are checked. Goadsby have been increasingly busy ensuring they keep their landlords up to date and compliant and Kate urges any landlords looking to let their properties to contact her for advice and to discuss how Goadsby can ensure they remain legally compliant. Kate can be contacted on 01202 544644 or kate.west@goadsby.com

SUPERIOR FIRES A reputation for excellence We got the chance to visit the experts at Superior Fires to find out more about their line of bespoke focal points. ‘All things fire’ professionals Ben Upham and Michael Athay took the time to tell us more…

30 Years Experience As the current leading online retailer of high-efficiency gas and electric fires, it’s no surprise that Superior Fires have decided to set-up a static showroom, right here in Dorset. Located in Christchurch, their showroom boasts an incredibly wide range of fires; stoves, gas, electric, even LED screens that simulate a roaring blaze. The possibilities are endless. Someone you might not have heard of (but will most certainly know of) is their parent company ‘Focal Point Fires’; the single largest gas fire manufacturer in the UK, with clients including DIY giant, ‘B&Q’. Chances

are if you have ever looked for a fire in B&Q it’s probably one that has been made by Focal Point. Superior Fires is actually a subsidiary of Focal Point – the same talents with new ambitions. The company was set-up with the aim to create an entirely new direction and a service that enabled customers to create something that would fit in perfectly with their home.

On Trend; Stoves For top-notch interior designers the stove is the new ‘it’ focal point – one flip through the pages of a luxury home magazine would tell you that. The stove represents both traditional and contemporary style, which is why it has become increasingly popular over the last couple of years. The superior quality of SF’s products is much unlike your average stove; using only the best materials, Superior Fires create the desired authenticity of a log burning fire, without the hassle or up-keep.

INTERIORS

Flue Who It’s a common misconception that those without a flue or chimney are unable to have a fire in their home, but Superior Fires are breaking convention with innovation! Their unique technological advancements allow them to achieve 100% efficient fires without a chimney or flue.

On Trend; Inset Wall Fires For a sleek and stylish look, inset wall-mounted fires are the best. Their extensive range of high-spec fires adds a touch of sophistication to any room and being inset into the wall means no loss of space. There’s no need to worry about installation either, as their team will handle it all.

Visit Their Showroom Set-up with a unique layout, the Superior Fires showroom provides the ultimate shopping experience.

The space is a collection of chambers, showcasing a wide range of styles, in a variety of different room settings. “The idea is to enable visitors to better visualise our fires in their home”, Michael explained.

From Net to Door Their brand-new seamless online ordering system allows customers to explore their range, with full customisation options too. Their team of skilful installers work nationwide, installing Superior Fires in homes across the country - making shopping for your next fire totally hassle-free and fun!

TALKING BUSINESS

CONFESSIONS OF A CRIMINAL DAD Every other week on editorial deadline day I sit staring at the computer for inspiration just like when I had an English Literature essay to write in 1978, and apart from being better smelling with a lot less hair nothing seems to have changed, my mind is a blank. Having notifications arriving on your phone is normally just another distraction but I remember when the news arrived that the supreme court has ruled against Jon Platt who had previously won the right to take his child out of school for a holiday in a number of lower courts. It seems that I was a very bad parent when my boys were small. We had a holiday home and a zest for travel and so I constantly took them away for weeks in term time and skipped Fridays to enjoy a long weekend away. Over the years we had fantastic experiences appreciating Gaudi’s architecture in Barcelona, soaking up the culture in Florence and dining in Paris after touring The Louvre. On one memorable occasion I spotted super cheap last minute flights to Santander. This was before schools used email so I sent them a fax to say the boys wouldn’t be in on Monday and we spent a fantastic week Parador hopping along the Atlantic Coast in February. When the British weather looked good we would drop everything and head to Cornwall where rock pools and beaches provided a different sort of interesting and educational experience.

museums, galleries or The Coliseum the experience of visiting in August is more like an endurance reality show than a holiday. Blazing sun, huge queues, packed restaurants and every form of tout trying to take your money mean that you’ll soon retreat to the hotel or villa to nurse your sunburn and blisters.

First of all there is no question that we could not possibly have afforded these trips in prime school holiday time but this is not the real story. Whether it’s stunning beaches, beautiful cathedrals,

So what was the outcome of the disrupted education my sons endured? Well the oldest got three A stars and an A including A stars in Spanish & French A levels, has graduated with a first class degree in

Should be preparing for the nativity play

modern languages and is now doing an MA at Oxford. The other who loved rock pools and beaches is half way through a degree in marine zoology. They love travel, culture and food and are both excellent cooks. Now of course you can argue that they are not typical - they are bright and my wife is a qualified teacher so they had a very different experience to a kid from a deprived inner city area. I would argue that the more difficult a child’s circumstances the more important a holiday is and the less likely they are to be able to afford one in school holidays. There are of course important times in the school year not to miss but even the most modest caravan holiday with family will be a positive experience compared to a week in a class full of disruptive kids overseen by a bored and demotivated supply teacher. Between now and Christmas we are offering fabulous properties at really low rates which could have been giving families a great experience that is normally out of reach and it is a real shame that a complete lack of flexibility is denying them this opportunity.

ASK THE EXPERT ABOUT...

THE HOME REMOVAL SURVEY Steve Webber, Director of Maidmans Moving & Storage Steve has many years’ experience in the moving and storage industry. He offers the following insight about the importance and value of the home removal survey. Steve says: “Your removal company should be happy to send round a surveyor to carry out a no obligation survey to assess the contents of your entire home. At Maidmans we have specialist surveyors who are more than happy to arrange a home visit, so that we can provide our customers with an accurate quotation. This allows us to assess what you have in each room, including the loft, shed, garage and garden”. “It would be wise to show the surveyor any items that may need special attention, such as paintings and antiques. These kinds of items will require expert care to ensure they do not get damaged during your move”. Steve says: “At the end of your home removal survey, the surveyor may not necessarily give you a quotation straight away, but may need to go back to the office to calculate the quotation correctly. You should expect to receive a written quotation within 2 days of the survey”. Steve says: “Remember that removal companies base their price on the volume to be moved, as well as the distance. The more items you move, the greater the removal cost. The survey will determine the size of vehicle along with the number of days and staff needed to move everything you plan to take with you”.

THINKING OF HIRING AN INTERIOR DESIGNER? WHAT YOU CAN DO IN PREPARATION Katie Thomas, Design Director, KTM Design As a Bournemouth-based Interior Designer working on commercial and residential projects, I am used to facilitating clients’ ideas in order to make their dream home, hotel, workplace or bar/restaurant a reality. Sometimes my clients have never used an Interior Designer before and don’t know what to expect, so I have put together some advice on what you can do in preparation before contacting a designer. This stage of ‘pre-planning’ lets the designers know your expectations and helps to guide any initial consultations. Define your goals Having a clear idea of your aims and aspirations for the project makes it easier for you to communicate what’s in your head to the designer at the beginning of the project. What is it exactly that you want to achieve? Get Inspired If there are certain styles that you love and others that you hate, give your designer a clue by showing them images online or cutting out pictures from magazines. Giving your designer as much information as possible about your taste and preferences will only save time in the process. Set your Budget Let your designer know your spending limit. Often clients struggle to do this at the beginning of a project as they don’t know how much products and services cost. This is absolutely fine as we understand that it can be a new experience for many people, so we work with you to educate you on costs and determine how much you are happy to spend on different aspects of the project. Be Honest Qualified Interior Designers are trained professionals with a keen eye for detail, but it remains to be your project and only you know what you truly love. If a designer is making suggestions that don’t match your expectations or you simply don’t like, be sure to say something. A good designer won’t be offended as they understand it is all part of the process of understanding their client and project brief. They should be happy to go back to the drawing board for no extra cost. On the topic of cost, designers generally use one of several ways to charge for their services such as a fixed rate, hourly rate, or based on the square metreage of the project. A fixed rate or flat rate is the most helpful to the client because you know exactly what you need to pay with no hidden surprises.

Through a gated entrance, this development comprises a mix of sizeable, two and three bedroom apartments, with spacious living accommodation, balconies, an internal elevator, private parking and landscaped garden areas. The Development Name ‘Strollers Reach’ has been derived from the famous pony Stroller, who was the first and only, Olympic medal-winning, Show Jumping Pony, and is now laid to rest at the Barton-On-Sea Golf Club which this prestigious development overlooks. Stroller, a Bay Gelding standing at 14.1h.h, was raised on a local farm and went on to have an explosive 15 year championship 60

This plot was originally purchased in 2016 after AJ Developments were in competition with a number of larger developers, however their approach was personable, professional and honest, which, after receiving feedback from the previous owners, was what won AJ the plot. Not only would the previous owners encourage other homeowners to use AJ Developments, but they would also recommend AJ to others looking to find out or enquire about selling their plots, whether in its entirety or just a portion.

TALKING BUSINESS

A Q&A WITH;

HARBOURWOOD HOMES History in the making It all started with an idea. Owners ‘Steve Courtney’ and Dean Gaffikin had shown an aptitude for the construction industry from a young age. Having both attended the same engineering apprenticeship at a local college, it was destined that the two would go onto great things together. After studying they each set up their own respective companies. Steve a successful carpentry business, and Dean an equally successful plumbing firm. But fate brought them back together, after they were both brought in on the same job one summer. After many conversations Dean and Steve set up Harbourwood Homes and quickly undertook their first development. Two years later, we’re here with Dean Gaffikin talking about their incredibly exciting business and what makes them so unique.

Q: You both come from a trade background, that’s quite rare within the development world… Absolutely. I ran a plumbing business for 7 years. That experience – as well as Steve’s within his own carpentry business – has authenticated our approach to development. Having that inside

knowledge allows us to shape projects more efficiently and get it right the first time. Q: What excites you about the development industry? I really enjoy seeing a project go from nothing to this amazing finished product and I love to help landowners. The way we work, everyone wins. They get a premium for their land, and we get a site to develop, and furthermore more property for the community. Of course it’s always nice to get permission granted too. It’s really a testament to our team’s skill and attention to detail, when submitting planning and we often get the desired results first time. Q: What are your priorities when it comes to a project? Aside from planning, it has to be design. We’ve just started working with our neighbors over at Anders Roberts Cheer architects, because design is so important to us. We don’t want to just churn out ‘box houses’, so we work with the best in the business to make exciting and unique properties.

Q: Are you working to address any of the current issues in today’s property market? We don’t have a target audience as such. Though a pattern that seems to be emerging is a need for homes for young working families. Many of the late baby boomers were left out of the property race, leaving many of them still in rented accommodation, for lack of suitable available property. We’ve also noticed a real rise in the retired community selling their land and buying new property. A lot of people have worked hard all their life and aspire to live in something shiny and new. Ultimately, we are open to all opportunities. Q: What benefits would you offer to someone for selling his or her land to you? We are incredibly open. There is a kind of grey cloud surrounding developers – with this idea that we’re all a bit devious, but we like to be honest and as transparent as possible. Where we are a small business, without huge overheads, we can generally offer that little more and with our existing backlog of tradesman from our other businesses, we don’t have to contract any work out to a third party.

TALKING BUSINESS

Q: …and likewise for investors? We are able to significantly reduce build costs while maintaining quality, due to our previous experience and contacts, in turn making more profit and a greater return for the investor. Again, we are totally transparent, so what we say will happen will happen – nothing is hidden. We regularly meet with our investors, so that everyone is kept in the loop regarding progress on site.

The Salts is an exclusive development of two luxury four bed detached houses situated in a unique part of Hordle village. For more inforation contact: Mitchells Estate Agents on 01425 616411 or Hayward Fox on 01425 638656

We are an expanding company so there are always new opportunities arising, with new planning applications being submitted all the time. With sites in up and coming areas including Hordle and Ferndown, Harbourwood Homes are blazing a trail with their trustworthy and dedicated approach to property development. If Dean’s engaging interview has grabbed your attention then send your queries over to dean.gaffikin@harbourwoodhomes.co.uk or give them a call on: 07590 983276.

Not your average residential park Each and every home is utterly unique. As we wandered around their ‘Cambrian Serenity’ home, that was evident. It was bursting with understated luxury; glossy tiles, chalky-grey wood, dense ﬂuffy carpets, matte-black feature radiators and sofas to sink into. After speaking with Sales Manager ‘Simon Stephens’ I discovered that you could actually customise every inch of your new home, from tiles to accessories – all provided by top quality suppliers.

The park is stunning – I know I’ve already mentioned spectacular and gorgeous but seriously, it’s all true! I’m still in awe; fourteen and a half acres of forest, with almost one hundred homes scattered amongst the trees. I love the contrast of the organic forest, against the modernity of the homes, peeking through the trees. It’s not at all like your average residential park. I ask you, how do you envisage when someone says, ‘mobile home’? Mustard yellows, plastic awnings and garish white panelling? Think again…

O U N D P M

estled in a picturesque pine-ﬁlled forest is the spectacular Lone Pine Park: a 14.5 acre residential development for those 55 plus, who are looking for somewhere very special to reside. We were invited to their gorgeous development that is adjoining ‘Golf Links Road’ in Ferndown, also known as ‘Millionaire’s Row’.

A ST

Where tranquility, exclusivity & luxury are home...

A truly enchanting 14.5 acre sylvan setting development, with its unique prestige location adjacent to members only Championship Golf Course and beautiful Heathland, ideal for leisurely walks. A fully assisted Home Exchange Scheme is also available to ensure a smooth transition and secure idyllic lifestyle within the beautiful surroundings of Lone Pine Park The homes are carefully manoeuvred into place with a brickbuilt base and completed with your own garage and/or shed and landscaped garden; just enough to maintain, without taking up all of your time. The park is divided up into small cul-de-sacs, all individually named (a rather adorable touch). One minute you might be strolling through ‘Honeysuckle Close’ and the next minute you’re in ‘Foxglove Glade’. This is just phase two of an incredible plan to upgrade the entire park, into a five star premium residential estate. Prestigious location As mentioned on introduction, Lone Pine Park is situated within the confines of ‘Golf Links Road’. Near to Sandbanks, this is a hot spot for many flocking millionaires. This area is packed with extravagant property and just so happens to back onto a premium championship golf course. But it’s not just the wealth that draws people to this area. In addition to all of the luxuries,

HIGH TECH; FOAM INSULATION The ultimate home insulation For over a decade now we have revered the familiar, accepting fiberglass as the go to insulator for our homes. Whilst old faithful has served us well, it’s time for a modern solution to an age-old heating problem. Introducing ‘High Tech’, the South’s pioneering installer of new age ‘Foam Insulation’. We interviewed owner and insulation guru ‘Vince Rice’, to find out more.

Who is High Tech? With a combined 20 years experience, High Tech is the South’s commanding experts, educating homeowners on the limitless possibilities and incredible efficiency of Foam Insulation. Next to their proficiency, their excellent customer service skills – so often lacking in today’s society – is what customer’s are forever commenting on. And with a promise of an honest, professional and reliable service from start to finish,

BEFORE

it’s clear that these guys are seriously passionate about what they do. “We were very impressed from start to finish and we have already seen savings on our bills”Mr & Mrs York, Birmingham

How does it work? The foam acts as an airtight barrier in your loft (or base) of your home. The idea is to trap the heat in your home and not allow it to escape. Unlike fiberglass where this process is only slowed, the foam insulation prevents heat from escaping from your roof; meaning when you do put the heating on, it’s going to stay. Try this; Get the heating in your home to about 21 degrees and then switch it off. Time how long it takes until you start to feel cold again.

It is our mission to provide the best cutting-edge environmentally friendly, money saving energy products to our customers. VINCE RICE, MANAGING DIRECTOR OF HIGH TECH

AFTER 80

HOME IMPROVEMENTS

Efficiency & Savings There are a variety of factors that can alter this figure (e.g. double glazing, cavity wall insulation etc.), but in most cases the savings on energy bills are between 20-45%. Where the heat isn’t escaping from the roof, you’ll find you won’t need your heating to be on as long, nor will you need to use it as frequently. The fact of the matter is, as we get older we get colder, not to mention keeping our love ones safe and warm. There are so many people out there who are scared to turn the heating on for fear of extortionate bills. Foam insulation is incredibly efficient, meaning you can sleep a little easier knowing you’ll only have to have the heating on for an hour instead of three. PICTURED BELOW: A demonstration of the efficiency of Foam Insulation. When fans are switched on the balls above the fiberglass float, whilst the ball above the foam (middle tube) remained still. Fiberglass, whilst it does block the air, doesn’t stop it escaping totally – unlike the foam, which doesn’t allow the air to pass.

Diary of Award Winning Sales and Letting Agent Move On Sharon Canning

FIRST TIME BUYERS – TOP 10 TIPS? Buying your first property, is both exhilarating and scary and one that can so easily turn out to be not what you thought it would be. And ‘hindsight’ can be a wonderful learning curb, however, forearmed is forewarned and here are some tips that you really should be asking and taking into consideration. 1. Be aware fully of the works requiring attention and a real understanding of the costs involved for the repairs/renovations. 2. Check out the age of the boiler, understand the difference between a normal boiler and a combi boiler. 3. Fully understand the extra costs involved when purchasing the property. Solicitors costs can be £600 or £1500 and then you have extra costs involved such as searches, mortgage fees, stamp duty. All these costs can add up to thousands! 4. If purchasing a leasehold property, fully understand the yearly management fees, ground rent and if any major repairs are due on the block within the next 5 years. Does the management company have a ‘kitty’ for such repairs in place and how much is in the ‘kitty’. 5. Understand the importance of ‘leasehold’ years. Most mortgage companies will not entertain leasehold properties when there are only a certain amount of years left. 6. Being advised how long the process would take and understanding more of the legal process. For example if you are in a chain, this can take many months to complete. 7. Do shop around for mortgage products. Some mortgage advisors have special rates that another mortgage person does not. Understand the difference between fixed rates, tracker rates etc. 8. How long do want the property for? Will the property allow you to grow into – can you add value? 9. Be prepared that everyone’s cleanliness is different, so it may not be as clean as you would have hoped on day one. 10. Do some due diligence prior to putting in an offer. Talk to the neighbours, go to the road at different times of the day There are many more tips that could be added. Talking to your parents, grandparents, colleagues who purchased properties and ask them what their top tip would be to you. Buying property is probably the most expensive thing you will ever buy, every little helpful advice

But somehow they helped me find the words. Just talking honestly about how I felt was such a relief. Now I don't have to cope with the bad days on my own.

ASK THE EXPERT...

LAST OF THE SUMMER You’ve probably noticed that the nights are drawing in and unfortunately the chance to spend the evening with friends in the garden is getting less. But don’t put that barbecue away just yet an Indian summer could happen and we will all be enjoying some warm September evenings, albeit in the dark. So time to think about adding a bit of subtle lighting in the garden not just that old floodlight on the wall that fills the place with light, annoys the neighbours and sends the meter spinning. Warm white or coloured LED lighting to highlight favourite plants and ornaments is a good place to start, add to this with step lighting and mini spots on to tables and patio areas. Maybe some classy bollards along pathways. You see this sort of lighting outside high class hotels and immediately you are met with a display that just says class, but it’s easy to do at home with a little help from our guys. We can show an array of low voltage, low wattage fittings in stainless steel and anodised aluminium to suit life in the sea air for many years. We have a large portfolio of projects that we have worked on to give you a few ideas. Adding daylight sensors and timers so that the lights automatically switch on and off is also a good idea. Most of us have bought solar powered garden lighting in the past and are generally disappointed by the lack of light given out by these fittings. Good quality outdoor fittings start from around £30 up to several hundred depending on size and output. Call in to our showroom in Northbourne to browse through the catalogues or look at the fittings and at some pictures from past projects, advice is always free and our guys are there to help.

WHAT CAN THE PLASTIC BE USED FOR? The manufactured plastic has many practical and very useful properties. The main base of our products are in the form of planks and posts which can be used on their own for garden fences, both low for front gardens and high for side and back fences for instance, along road sides and around fields and paddocks just to name a few.

HOW STRONG IS IT? It is extremely solid and strong being able to withstand stress levels of well over 10 tons. It is heavy, durable, virtually indestructible and will not need to be replaced. In short, it is worry free.

DOES IT NEED TO BE CLEANED? Our products only need to be cleaned after a spillage. The collection of airborne dirt is inevitable and we would recommend a simple spraydown with a hose or wipe over with a damp cloth on a regular basis to ensure that your purchase is kept in the best condition.

IS THERE A COLOUR CHOICE? Yes. Our main colours are black and brown. However, we can produce products to a choice of colours! This removes the need for painting and staining. So whatever colour is required... just ask!

FINANCIAL BENEFITS Achieving value for money is a key driver for any purchasing decision. Although some recycled products have greater up-front cost, their longevity and durability make them a more costeffective option over the long term.

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

NEW BMW I3

148

BMW has introduced a new i3 model featuring revised styling, improved driving dynamics and extra equipment. Prices start from £34,070 and the brange includes a new sportier version, the i3s. With over 8,000 vehicles sold in the UK since launch, the BMW i3 is the best-selling electric car in the premium compact segment. The new models offer two power outputs and an optional range-extender engine. The electric motor powering the new BMW i3 generates an output of 170hp. The power is transferred via a singlespeed automatic transmission meaning 0-60 mph is achieved in 7.3 seconds. Top speed is limited to 93mph. The lithium-ion highvoltage battery provides a maxium range of 186 miles, with up to 125 miles in typical everyday use. A new sportier i3s is powered by a highperformance 184 hp electric motor and features sports suspension with specially developedsprings, dampers and anti-roll bars. Drivers can also select SPORT mode using the Driving Experience Control switch which delivers a more direct accelerator response and tighter steering characteristics. It can reach 60 mph in 6.9 seconds on its way to a top speed of 99mph. A 38hp two-cylinder range extender petrol engine is available as an option for both the new BMW i3 and the i3s. The engine drives a generator that produces power as required while driving to maintain a constant level of charge in the high-voltage battery. This extends the car’s overall range in everyday use by 93 miles.

ROAD TEST: HYUNDAI I30 PREMIUM While the VW Golf and Vauxhall Astra dominate the family hatchback class, there are other worthy contenders who often are overlooked, perhaps most notably the Hyundai i30, writes NICK FLETCHER. The i30 is well-built, well-equipped, pleasing to drive and comes with a 5-year unlimited mileage warranty, so the overall package ticks most of the boxes of would-be buyers in this hard-fought sector. Prices start at £16,995 but you need to move a notch or two up the range to get goodies such as parking sensors, sat-nav and additional connectivity features. My test model was a top-spec Premium SE litre petrol version which had all those features plus 17-inch alloys, powered driver’s seat, part-leather upholstery, climate control, cruise control, auto lights and wipers, sunroof, cruise control, rear camera, 8-inch touchscreen and a lot of safety kit including lane departure and rear cross-traffic warnings. Overall, it’s a great spec but does hike up the price to £24,240. The 138 hp 1.4 litre petrol unit is smooth and responsive and delivers a sprightly 0-60 mph of 8.9 seconds and a top speed of 130 mph. Fuel economy is 52.3 mpg combined.

On the road, the i30 performs well. A six-speed manual gearbox is standard and is slick and efficient, and while the steering could provide more feedback, there is still plenty of grip and the ride is very comfortable, especially on longer trips. Cabin accommodation is good, with head and legroom for all but the tallest rear occupants. The boot, at 350 litres, is larger than those of the Golf and Astra, and with rear seats folded – a neat one-touch action – you getting a whopping 1,301 litres. The dashboard has a logical layout with dials and controls in vision and within easy reach. The i30 has been specially designed for the European market and its smart new look is more noticeable than the rather staid appearance of some of its main rivals. I feel it should be on the short list of anyone in the market for a new family hatchback. It impresses as a safe and dependable car and anyone who checks on out will be surprised at how good it looks close-up, and how much kit it offers. And as a bonus, its 5-year warranty beats all its main rivals!

FORD FOCUS RS EDITION The new Ford Focus RS Edition, which features a mechanical limited-slip differential,is now available to order from £35,795. Ford says it provides more traction and driving appeal for performance enthusiasts. The Focus RS Edition features unique styling, including signature Nitrous Blue paint with striking black exterior details. “Our new Focus RS Edition represents accessible performance at its finest,” said Leo Roeks, Ford Performance Director, Europe. “Improving on the class-leading driving dynamics of the Focus RS was no small task – but our Ford Performance engineers have delivered a drivetrain capable of wringing every drop of performance from the 345 hp EcoBoost engine.” The mechanical LSD limits the engine torque delivered to a wheel that has reduced traction on the road surface, and redistributes torque to the wheel with more traction to counteract the wheelspin that can hamper acceleration and stability. The additional mechanical grip offered by the LSD will make it even easier to carry speed through a corner on the

track, and maximise acceleration on the way out. The car, powered by a 2.3 litre engine, accelerates from 0-60mph in 4.7sec. Standard equipment includes: black 19-inch alloy wheels, Brembo four-piston callipers, Recaro shell seats, carbon fibre interior trim parts, rear parking sensors and cruise control with speed limiter.

FIAT FULLBACK

ROAD TEST: KIA RIO Korean car maker Kia has upped its game in recent years, producing an enhanced range of well-built, good-value cars which all come with an industry-leading 7-year transferable warranty, writes NICK FLETCHER. Its latest Rio is a fine example, a supermini hatchback taking on big-selling rivals from the likes of Ford, Vauxhall and Volkswagen. The Rio is attractively styled and while not too eye-catching, racks up a lot of points for interior space, standard equipment and low running costs. Prices start at £11,995 for a 1.25 litre petrol model which comes with air-con, auto lights, Bluetooth, power front windows, remote locking, USB and AUX ports, adjustable steering wheel with audio controls, and a trip computer. My test model was the mid-range 3 Eco, powered by a 1.4 litre 89 hp diesel engine. Top speed is 108 mph, the 0-60 mph time modest by class standards at 11.6 seconds. But the bonus is 74.3 mpg combined and emissions of just 98 g/km. This version costs £17,365 and is laden with kit including alloy wheels, privacy glass, cornering headlights, 4 power windows,

sat-nav with 7-inch touch screen, DAB radio, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, reversing camera, autonomous emergency braking, lane departure warning and a gear-shift indicator. The dashboard is smartly-styled and its logical functional layout means it is easy to understand and use. Longer and wider than the previous model, the cabin of the new Rio is roomy even for rear occupants and at 325 litres, the boot is 13 per cent bigger. Wide-opening doors give good access and the rear seats fold to allow bulky items, though like so many in the class, the load floor is not level. Out and about, the Rio has light-touch controls for effortless driving, with precise steering and an accurate manual gearbox. Ride quality is fairly typical of class standards, so too the general handling, so nothing to complain about. Kia models are well built and well finished – hence that 7-year warranty - and the brand has well and truly shaken off the budget-car image it had a few years ago. It is a now a very respected marque offering genuine competition for big mainstream rivals – as the new Rio clearly demonstrates.

Just in UK showrooms, the new Fiat Fullback Cross range of ‘lifestyle’ pickup trucks, priced from £26,495 exc.VAT. The new top-of-the-range model meets increasing demand for vehicles which are rugged and versatile, but have specific car-class comfort and strong design characterisation, says Fiat. The new vehicle features exclusive style details, including aerodynamic textured black sport bar, satin silver skid plate, rear view mirrors, handles, wheel arches and 17-inch wheels with matte black finish, and side steps. Standard features include rear differential lock, dualzone automatic climate control, cruise control, rear parking sensors, and leather seats.There is also sat-nav, 7-inch touchscreen, DAB radio, and Bluetooth. Fullback Cross has ultrasonic parking sensors which are activated when reverse gear is engaged. Power comes from a 2.4-litre 180 hp turbodiesel engine with manual sixspeed or automatic five-speed transmissions, the latter with steering wheel paddles.

PERSONAL EDITION MICRA Nissan has launched a Micra BOSE Personal Edition model, and only 600 will be available, featuring a high-spec BOSE sound system and priced from £18,635. It delivers an immersive 360° sound experience through BOSE digital signal processing and six high-performance speakers. These include the two pioneering BOSE UltraNearfield speakers built into the driver’s seat head rest. Sound from the BOSE Personal audio system can be personalised to suit the driver’s tastes with the help of the BOSE PersonalSpace Control.It provides an adjustable range of audio options, from a precise and front-focused sound to a much wider and enveloping experience. The Nissan Micra BOSE Personal Edition is based on the rangetopping Tekna grade. Enigma Black or Echo Grey exterior colours are included in the car’s price, as well as Exterior Ultimate and Interior personalisation packs, both in Energy Orange. Standard safety features include Intelligent Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Recognition and Intelligent Lane Intervention. The latter is a lane departure warning and prevention system; when activated the steering wheel gently vibrates and the car’s brakes are individually applied to guide the car back into its lane. The Nissan Micra BOSE Personal Edition comes with a choice of two engines, both with a 5-speed manual gearbox.

HEALTH & BEAUTY

WELCOME TO THE BRAND NEW WASSMUFFIN MIXED MARTIAL ARTS ACADEMY It is finally here, Wassmuffin Mixed Martial Arts Academy. At Fitter Than Fit we are proud to introduce our new gym to you all. It has been a long time coming, we have been the littlest Hobos of the Thai boxing World for so long it seemed like a distant dream to get our own place at times. It has all come together for us now at a new location in Boscombe on the main Christchurch Road, a shiny new gym with all the trimmings (well some of them, still a few little things to finish) after a massive renovation, which was a huge job. A lot of people thought we had bitten off more than we could chew, but hard work prevails and after two months an old charity furnishing shop was turned into a great new Wassmuffin Academy. It is a spacious gym with Ladies and Gents toilets, changing rooms, one full wall of hanging bags, a large reception area, a 12ft ring at the back and various fitness equipment including kettle bells, sandbells, steps, dumbbells, core and med balls. We also have a large number of pads, gloves, shin pads and head guards that can be borrowed. We will also start selling merchandise in our shop. We are lucky enough to be ambassadors for the very popular and ever-growing Combat Dollies fitness

wear, run by someone in the industry who also trains and fights, so she has full awareness of what woman want and need when training, which is incredibly important. Recently we were given a second set of exclusive Limited Edition Wassmuffun/combat Dollies leggings and sports bra set which was so popular it sold out within a day. So, watch this space for more training gear coming in stock in the future. Wraps are also always available in the shop as an essential with gloves, Thai shorts and Shin pads to follow. As well as a small collection from the Clean Freak range to keep all your kit fresh and clean. We will soon also be selling protein shakes and drinks. As always, we have a wide variety of classes and have added a lot of new ones to the time table as well as courses. These courses last 6 weeks ranging from once to twice a week for the cost of £50, it’s a fantastic price and we are pleased to be able to offer these with amazing experienced instructors for a price that means all people can train with us. Each class ranges between an hour and an hour and a half so more than worth your money. We also offer a platinum membership which includes all classes on our timetable and free membership for one child between 5 -10 years old. We have some unbelievable membership deals

which give the opportunity to train in just our fitness classes which I will talk more about in the next issue. We have children’s classes every day now with Thai boxing 4 days a week and a Thursday Capoeira which is a Brazilian martial art and includes gymnastics and Thai boxing moves. Our ever popular bootcamp is still running every morning which is a mixture of fitness, strength, toning and core using the Thai boxing basics on pads and bags and circuit and body weight training. Thursday is the only morning we don’t have bootcamp, at the moment, as we have our wonderful Yoga Instructor Rachel teaching an early morning Vinyasa yoga class, which develops strength, flexibility and agility all things athletes and others could do with in everyday life. All this and our 9.30am Thai fit class which has become so popular we have now made it a mixed class three days

a week. Our Thai boxing class also takes place in the evening with our usual evening bootcamp and boxing classes. Take a look at our time table and see for yourself our new and old classes. Finally please let us invite you to our launch party on September 30th from 3pm - 9pm with nibbles and maybe a glass of bubbly. Come early for a go on the pads with head coach Michael or a little later just for a nosey. You can drop in any time to get your 10% of our membership if you sign up on the day! We are so excited about this and sure you will be too, please come to what we believe is the friendliest gym in town. We train people of all shapes sizes and persuasions without judgement, just fun and hard training to get the results you want. We are like one big family and support and thrive with each other and look forward to you joining us.

We’ve put together a beauty essentials guide, so you won’t miss a trick! STEP 1: Remove all unwanted hair Ladies, think ‘brows’. Eyebrows frame your face creating the perfect canvas for any sultry smoky eye, or bare faced beauty. With a simple ‘tint & tidy’ treatment - you’re already on your way to looking fabulous! For more permanent results on unwanted hair, we recommend our own Diode Laser Hair Removal which is completely pain free. Ideal for getting rid of ANY problem hair – the laser picks up on the pigmentation of the hair directly from their roots, leaving you with silky soft, hair-free skin. To encourage newcomers to try this amazing treatment, we’re offering 50% off! Why spend money and time on non-permanent waxing, when you could get it permanently removed for the same price! This is a no frills treatment, it requires no downtime and is perfect for both men and women.

STEP 2: The Body Our priority is always you, the client. We are here to help any body worries or insecurities no matter how big or small. We offer treatments such as 3D Lipomed, a powerful and revolutionary new approach to liposuction which does not involve surgery. 3D Lipomed reduces body fat by destroying fat cells! Perfect if you’re on the journey to looking slimmer! At Visjeune Clinic we are now offering up to two free Cryolipolysis treatments when you book and pay for 8 sessions of our most popular 3D Lipo treatment! Furthermore our lasers can combat any issues such as skin tag removal, stretch mark removal, acne scarring – We are unlike most clinics as we offer such an extensive range of treatments! STEP 3: Hands & Feet This season brings the new and exciting ‘shellac ombre holographic nails’ with it; an absolute MUST this autumn. We offer all-inclusive beauty packages for you and your friends with special multidiscounts available too, so getting ready is that little bit more fun! A common complaint we hear about is Fungal Toenail which can leave

people feeling they have to keep their toes hidden, we can treat this with laser technology so you can still wear those perfect peep toe heels! STEP 4: Let’s talk about facial rejuvenation! Many of us are concerned about looking older. At the end of the day this is perfectly natural both with it happening and with you feeling this way. The truth is, beauty comes from the inside – But having worries about body confidence on the outside, can sometimes make it hard to feel that beauty! There’s always a solution! We offer Dermal Fillers and Antiwrinkle injectables for those who are fed up of wrinkles or are looking for

younger, rejuvenated skin. Our owner ‘Lisa’ is a non-surgical aesthetic nurse practitioner and with her years of extensive training, being on the board of advisors for the British Association of Cosmetic Nurses and with access to medical-grade products, you are in very capable, safe hands. We encourage anyone considering injectables to come in for a free consultation to have a comprehensive chat about the process. As well as these treatments we also offer medical-grade facial treatments ranging from microdermabrasion to skin peels & micro-needling! We also have a new affordable cosmeceutical skincare range called Endocare - and a new range for acne prone skin, which we’re all LOVING!

REVIEWED

The MacGuffin Project The one where they visit an Escape Room There’s nothing like the impending doom of being locked in a room for eternity to bring you and your colleagues together. The House squad had been invited to explore Bournemouth’s latest ‘escape room’, the enigmatically titled ‘The MacGuffin Project’. If you don’t know or haven’t heard of one before, an escape room is as it sounds; you are given a select amount of time (usually 60 minutes) to use the various puzzles to break free of the room. The puzzles could be mathematical, symbolic, or just plain logical, but it’s up to you to figure it out. I have visited a few escape rooms in my time, not that I consider myself any kind of expert. In fact, having experience literally benefits you in no way as each has it’s own unique take on the puzzles – some more advanced than others. However, having

heard the rumours of MacGuffin’s spellbinding and immersive approach, I had to try it for myself. The team strolled down Old Christchurch Road one Tuesday lunchtime, in search of adrenaline pumping thrills and hopefully not too much math. We arrived at the colourful entrance; having been greeted by an caged mechanical ringmaster we knew we were in for something special. We sheepishly passed the ominous figure with our backs to the wall and made our way to the reception desk. Our friendly pre-room guide gave us the low-down, before tucking away our belongings and limbering up for whatever lay ahead. I’m dubious to reveal too much, as not to ruin any surprises, but I will say that this was an experience unlike any other. We were lead into a holding room, where we learned the “truth”

behind the infamous MacGuffin (cue scary echo). We were lead down a dark corridor, huddling together for fear of any unexpected jump scares – ok I was huddling, just me. Our leader pushed open a door to reveal a cave of wonders. We entered happier than kids (ourselves) at Christmas. The room does not disappoint, with challenging and unconventional puzzles every step of the way, but it was the level of immersion and theatrical storytelling that really set this escape room apart from others. That’s all I can say for the room for fear of spoilers, but I implore you to check it out for yourself. Whilst we only underwent one of the rooms, two more, with their own unique story lines, are available too. You will be totally blown away by this awesome place, I thoroughly recommend it for team bonding, couples therapy and group get-togethers. By Charlotte Williams

HEALTH & BEAUTY

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

We will all age, but we can do it slowly with a more ﬁrm, glowing, hydrated appearance. Our Skin is constantly on display and has the power to dictate exactly how good we are feeling about ourselves. Spending time and money on your skin is one of the best investments you will ever make – and I’m not talking breaking the bank – getting a monthly Facial and using the correct Skincare products at home to maintain the results achieved in the Facial is achievable for everyone.

A Facial is not only functional as it will massively improve your complexion, it’s also time for you to relax and totally unwind whilst being pampered. Here’s my top 10 reasons to book that Chic Facial now! 1. Facials allow you to relax. They feel great and are healing to the soul. The power of touch, massage, proper technique, and professional products will improve your skin. Stress relief with the end result being beautiful skin – Yes please! 2. Facials increase circulation of the blood under the skin allowing the skin optimal health to facilitate the renewal of skin cells.

October is Facial Month at Chic and I want to highlight the importance of good skincare and a regular Facial. You will see we use the word ‘customised’, that’s because every Facial that we do is different as we know every person’s skin is different and requires the use of different products and techniques to achieve maximum results. We are results driven in our techniques and we want you to achieve the skin you’ve always wanted!

3. Facials decrease waste under the skin that can cause puffiness and fluid retention by manipulating the lymphatic system that lies just under the skin. Facials also help with detoxification.

Facials are ideal once a month unless you have a specific skin concern such as Acne or Hyperpigmentation that may require a specific course of treatments. The reason for the 4 weekly visit is that your stratum corneum (the outer most layer of visible skin) will completely renew itself approximately every 28 days. In this time your skin cells are constantly being replicated (the treated

5. A Facial will cleanse the pores on a much deeper level. Even a non-acneic skin can benefit from a deep cleanse. Extractions (cleaning out the pores) are part of most deep cleansing Facials and can help to maintain clear skin, stop acne formation as well as decreasing the pores size. Never attempt to remove blocked pores yourself – leave it to a professional so as not to damage or scar your skin.

4. A good Facial massage can help smooth fine lines and promote collagen production which is the building block of the skin (prevents sagging, wrinkles, and ageing).

cells replace the old cells). If you give your skin a head start (i.e. a great facial) your skin cells will begin to replicate the now healthier cells and therefore give you a better glowing complexion. Also by speeding up the skin renewal process with a great Facial you will feel the active benefits of Skincare products a lot faster.

6. A good Facial will incorporate a much deeper exfoliation than you can achieve at home. Exfoliation is great for smoothing the skin and allows for much deeper absorption of products, it unclogs the pores and improves the skins ability to hold hydration. Not to mention your foundation will glide on after an exfoliation and stay put on your skin a lot longer. 7. Like many you probably feel completely overwhelmed by the array of skincare products in the aisles of Boots and most Supermarkets. Rather than grabbing what’s on offer or the latest advertised ‘miracle’ cream, speak to your Facial therapist and purchase reasonable products that are actually personally prescribed for your skin type. 8. Facials can help start to regulate and even out pigmentation spots on the skin – a gentle reminder that an SPF is always a necessity. 9. Facials slow the ageing process. They allow your skin to feel healthier, smoother and look more radiant. Facials reduce fine lines and ages spots and relieve dehydrated skins. With these benefits Facials make us feel better about our skin. With the use of exfoliation, massage, and the penetration of nutrient and antioxidants, Facials also fight to reverse the signs of aging.. 10. Facials are not a miracle in an hour but they are a fresh start to a healthier and more balanced complexion. Regular Facials will help you maintain optimum skin health.
