THINKING OF SELLING/LETTING IN THE NEW YEAR? If you’re thinking of selling or letting your property in the New Year you may want to consider getting your property on the market sooner than you think!

The Christmas period is one of the busiest times for online activity & property searches. To take advantage of the millions of people who search for property whilst they have time off over the festive period, get your property details ready & launch them onto the market by mid-December.

Rightmove has consistently reported huge viewing figures over the Christmas and New Year period in recent years, with over a million people visiting their site on Christmas day and almost 3 million people visiting on the first working day of the year.

Adam Ford, Lettings Manager for Goadsby in Wimborne & Blandford comments “The huge numbers reported by Rightmove are extremely encouraging. Sellers and landlords who would usually wait for the New Year should seriously consider placing their property on the market before Christmas to capitalise on the increased activity on sites such as Rightmove, whilst their competition are dragging their heels”. Adam Continues, “We have seen great success in the past with this strategy & launching your property with an open day scheduled in January could be a very productive approach to maximise viewing numbers & achieving your asking price”.

If you have a property to Sell or Let, call Adam and the team today for a free no obligation appraisal & advice 01202 848984.

wide range of services. Over the past 63 years, families have been kept together as thousands of children and adults with disabilities have been cared for and given the support and services they need to fulfil their potential.

Two Cedars held a tea party to celebrate her special birthday and all her guests enjoyed sandwiches, cake and a glass of prosecco to toast the birthday lady.

Much of the provision provided to local people with disabilities is down to the support from the local community raising vital funds.

In attendance to wish Phyllis a happy birthday were two special guests – the Mayor of Poole, Councillor Lindsay Wilson and the Queen’s local representative Mr Angus Campbell, the Lord-Lieutenant of Dorset. Mr Angus Campbell presented Phyllis with her card and message from Her Majesty the Queen while the Mayor of Poole presented a telegram from Government.

To honour Phyllis’ birthday and continue the legacy for years to come, Diverse Abilities is asking local people and businesses to support the work she started by giving a gift of £100 to celebrate her 100 years.

Diverse Abilities is commemorating Phyllis’ birthday throughout the whole of November and celebrating how far the charity has come thanks to her incredible courage, unwavering belief and sheer persistence that there must be a better way to support those with disabilities.

Today, Diverse Abilities supports over 2,000 local people a year through its

ASK THE EXPERT ABOUT...

BUILDING PROTECTION

INDUSTRIAL

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 the building when you are moving home.

Steve says: “Building protection is something that should be provided by all removal companies. It is essential that not only the house you are leaving should not suffer any damage but also your new

COMMERCIAL

home too.

“As soon as we arrive, we will make sure the doorframes and doors are protected by using door ‘jams’ and if necessary door sleeves.

“We use a range of floor protection depending on whether you have carpets or hard flooring. Timber floors can easily be damaged if items are dropped or carpets soiled if you are moving on a wet day.

“Balustrades and handrails are some of the most often damaged

R E TA I L

points whilst removals are taking place. Carrying furniture downstairs can be very tricky, so it is important that handrail protection is used to protect your stair fixings.

Once everything has been delivered and positioned, we take away all the materials so that you can enjoy your new home.”

TALKING BUSINESS

BLUE MONKEYS AND DELIVERING HAPPINESS I’ve just finished re-reading one of my favourite business books of all time - Delivering Happiness by Tony Hsieh. For those of you who don’t know, which I suspect is most people, Tony is an internet entrepreneur and venture capitalist who made a fortune selling an online advertising platform to Microsoft in the first dot com boom.

He needn’t have worked again and went on to found an investment firm backing tech startups including Zappos an online shoe selling business which he believed in so much he dropped everything else to run it. At the time there was scepticism that many people would order shoes they couldn’t try on but when revenues reached $1 billion a year and the company was acquired by Amazon for $1.2 billion there was no doubt that he was right.

What makes Tony’s story resonate with those of us who run businesses is his single-minded obsession with providing the best customer service and belief that this must be delivered by everyone in the company. After spending some time at Microsoft he also came to the realisation that what made him happy was to go to work with people he regarded as friends and build a culture at the workplace where everyone wanted to be there and enjoyed their day. This has always been my philosophy and I regard my team as great personal friends. We frequently go out together and celebrate and support each other through marriages, births and bereavements, and everything else life throws at us like an extended family.

My very favourite of all Zappos’ unique concepts and the one that causes the most debate is that all new employees are offered $2,000 to leave at any time during their initial training. When I first heard this it made my head reel - surely people would take advantage and the company would lose a fortune?

Turns out that only 2-3% of hires take up the offer and the more I think about it the more I realise that it is absolute genius and probably makes even more sense in stiff upper lip Britain. If a new job or company is not for you in all honesty it will probably be apparent after a week or two. Being British the chances are you’ll soldier on to try and make a proper go of it and then admit defeat and spend a month or two looking for something else, sneaking off for interviews and doing the minimum at work. All of this is hugely expensive to the employer who invests in training and is paying an underperforming employee then ends up having to start again.

Tony actually thought not enough people were taking up the offer so he doubled it to $4,000 but it barely moved the needle with take up rates staying around 3%.

So apart from being an interesting anecdote what does it have to do with being a holiday home owner or running a holiday agency? Well let me tell you a story: Owners of holiday homes have been on the end of a very aggressive marketing campaign from a big national chain.

I won’t say which one but they have

obviously got a bit of a chip on their shoulder and must be feeling pretty blue about the results. Using the masses of personal data now in the public domain or available to buy they have been finding out the home addresses of our clients and sending them personal letters promising hugely ambitious rental returns plus a joining bonus of £500.

Many owners sent these to us so we knew what was going on and some of them were quite agitated saying whilst they wouldn’t move they were worried we would lose owners and it would affect the business. My first reaction was to feel a bit affronted however all’s fair in love, war & business.

Very quickly though I realised that this was absolutely brilliant - what they were doing was performing the Zappos test on our behalf and paying for it!

We are a full service agency and our relationship with owners is much deeper than a directory sending bookings - we organise the cleaning, linen and maintenance, advise on renovations and live through births, deaths and marriages with our owners just like I do with my team. Many have become personal friends over the years and my waistline is constantly expanded by lots of drinks and dinners when our clients are staying in their property.

If £500 is enough to make an owner jump ship to a big national then the truth is it’s probably best for both of us if they go and I’m delighted that I don’t even have to pay it.

Tony Hsieh

You’re probably curious as to how many owners we lost to this impressive

and sophisticated marketing effort?

The answer of course is none at all and although it would have been the right thing, I’d have been deeply disappointed if a client valued our services so little.

Out of interest I’d love to know what it would take for people to move in the other direction - If you’re with a big national would you move for a monkey? A grand? Or even an Archer? (‘A whole Jeffrey that’s £2,000’ Alan B’Stard, New Statesman) Let me know by email or call for a chat anytime - I’m either sleeping or working!

HOME IMPROVEMENTS

BROADVIEW Bespoke Shading Solutions

Brief Broadview were commissioned to design a bespoke solution for our clients stunning traditional orangery. The client’s main requirement was to reduce heat in order to extend usage of this otherwise redundant room during sunny weather.

Being a main feature of both the house and garden, seamlessly connecting the two together creating a synergy between inside and outside relied heavily on being able to fully enjoy this connecting space in all weathers.

Our client was also extremely particular about the aesthetics of the solution harmoniously blending in with the style of their home, preferring natural materials in neutral tones.

Solution Broadview came up with a solution that matched our client’s specification perfectly, whilst also ensuring their individually selected furniture was protected from harmful UV rays. French Pinoleum natural wood blinds from Ballauff of Paris, add a simple yet effective touch of elegance with their delicate veins of woven wood running on discreet but tough Teflon wires. All blinds were installed fully motorised with market leading Somfy motors for ease of use. This traditional style of blind was fitted in both the Orangery roof and all the side elevations, flawlessly bringing a garden feel to the interior of the connecting space. French Pinoleum are ideal for filtering and softening sunlight without taking it away completely. The timber is of coursed procured from a sustainable source.

HOME IMPROVEMENTS

Result Undeniable elegance graces this now fully utilised garden room. With the roof blinds down and the sides retracted, our client can enjoy views of the garden, whilst feeling part of it on any day they choose. The sunlight subtly filters through the natural wood creating that feeling of harmony between home and garden that our client so desired. With one touch of a button, the room can transform from glass to wood in a matter of minutes.

TALKING BUSINESS

INTERVIEWING THE EXPERTS...

KEN PARKE PLANNING CONSULTANTS ‘Planning permission’ two unsettling words that send a chill down the spines of developers and renovation seeking homeowners alike. Nothing quashes high hopes and anticipation like the arrival of a ‘no’ from the local planning authority and more often than not you haven’t a clue why such a response was received. So, in the absence of much knowledge on the subject, we visited the head (Mr. Ken Parke) of local private planners, ‘Ken Parke Planning’, in the hopes of gleaning some expert understanding.

72

With a passion for urban geography and history, Ken Parke always longed to pursue a career within the building industry. Having spent his youth gaining a relevant university degree and further education – and valuable experience as a brickie’s labourer along the way – Ken jumped at the opportunity to join a firm of solicitors as a planning technician, and he’s

never looked back. In 2003 he set up his own firm with his wife Angela and he and his team have been assisting local residents and developers in achieving their planning goals ever since.

Has planning become more stringent over the last few years?

Absolutely. It’s such a complex system, with plenty of bureaucracy involved.

We work as the middleman, between clients and the local authorities, managing expectations on both sides throughout the process. Ultimately, we argue the client’s case and make adjustments according to current planning and building regulations to ensure that the council is more likely to approve.

What are the benefits someone like you take planning?

There’s a lot of skill and involved in creating a

of having control of knowledge successful

planning application. Local legislation, the ever-changing planning and building regulations, and all of the other relevant do’s and don’ts, not forgetting trying to get all of these to work with a potential renovation and or development.

We advise on and manage the process; there every step of the way from site appraisals and feasibility studies, to design solutions. We have extensive experience in working with you and your architect to achieve your ultimate goal and will submit evidence, negotiate terms and represent you with local authorities.

What makes you unique?

We solve – and prevent – complications. We are a team of very strong negotiators, who are good at finding the answer to problems where others can’t. Our team – a mixture of long serving industry experts and

fresh young talent – are the perfect, friendly force to be reckoned with.

Our portfolio is incredibly broad, including everything from individual residences to large-scale developments and specific housing

From single plots to sixteen storey building, we do it all.

There are a few really exciting commercial projects in the pipeline too – we have recently gained planning permission for the new M&S in Ferndown and have just obtained planning permission for a Premier Inn in Ringwood, we’re working on the detailed matters for a 16 storey student block in the Lansdowne, and are currently assisting a private estate in North Dorset with the refurbishment of their buildings.

What are you currently working on?

There’s an enormous initiative to create 15,000 new houses in the New Forest, which we’re currently working on with a series of collaborators. We’re getting more enquiries to meet the ongoing need for ‘Urban extensions’, by which I mean 900+ houses, complete with play areas, parks,

TALKING PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT WITH...

HARBOURWOOD HOMES Despite its growing prominence in our everyday lives, there’s still an air of mystery surrounding the property development world. With their open-door approach and incredible knowledge, we sat down with the team at Habourwood Homes – specifically Owners Steve Courtney and Dean Gaffikin – to explore the possibilities of property development, with the landowner in the proverbial driving seat.

Q: Why would a landowner choose you?

Dean: “Throughout every step of the process we make them our priority. Our years of trade experience allow us unique insight into the industry – making for quicker decisions and ultimately speedier turnarounds on developments. We are a small business – and proud – which means we can confidently deliver consistency, quality and good communication with every project”.

Q: What are your priorities when it comes to a project?

Steve: “Aside from planning, it has to be design. 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”.

84

Q: What excites you about the development industry?

Steve: “We really enjoy seeing a project go from nothing to this amazing finished product and

we 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”.

Dean: “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 additional benefits would you offer to someone for selling his or her land to you?

Dean: “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 monetary wise too”.

Q: What are you working on at the moment?

Steve: “We have just submitted planning for a site in Hordle. We have purchased a bungalow on a large piece of land. We intend to demolish the existing property and make way for two chalet homes, and three bungalows. We have also – assuming we achieve planning – worked with the adjacent homeowner, to purchase a piece of

his unused land to go towards to new site. He is thrilled because he doesn’t have to maintain the desolate land and he also get’s a healthy sum for it too. We’ve also offered to create a brand new footpath for all local residents to use, making the road safer”.

Meet The Team Steve Courtney and Dean Gaffkin, pride themselves on their jargon-free approach to property development. With years of advantageous experience in their own respective trade businesses, the duo takes a careful and considered approach to each and every project – forever putting the needs of landowners (and the surrounding neighbourhood) first.

The Modern Method of Auction is a flexible buyer friendly method of purchase. We do not require the purchaser to exchange contracts immediately, but grant 28 days to achieve exchange of contracts from the date the buyer’s solicitor is in receipt of the draft contracts and a further 28 days thereafter to complete. Allowing the additional time to exchange on the property means interested parties can proceed with traditional residential finance.

INTERIORS

CUSTOM MADE

Unmatchable Skill & Experience The demand for bespoke furnishings is growing, with more and more homeowners seeking one-of-a-kind pieces to make one-of-a-kind homes.

We are growing out of the faddy Ikea mentality – where the lifespan of furniture is less than milk’s best before – instead, we crave something more divine, more durable and ultimately better quality. With this in mind, we wanted to interview a real local expert, to find out exactly how the professionals do it, which is why we interviewed ‘Steve Burke’ and ‘Neill Roberts’ of Custom Made – the local experts in unique, custom furniture.

The guys with the know-how With a combined experience of over 60 years, Neill and Steve’s knowledge is unmatchable. Since he was just 16 years old, Neill has been a tradesman, working on an incredible vast array of projects, in that time gaining an incredibly large scope of understanding. Not just how to, but why; a deep understanding of materials and their unique properties and uses.

Steve too has always had a passion for crafting the exceptional. During his 21 years at luxury yacht builders Sunseeker he oversaw the furniture manufacturing, which taught him how to overcome all kinds of challenges – such as interiors at sea – imparting him with an innovative, ‘outside the box’ approach to projects.

In 2003, Neill started Custom Made with just a van and a small workshop; today it’s forever busy showroom/workshop sits within the thriving Chalwyn industrial

estate in Poole, taking on all kinds of joinery projects, from multi-million pound homes in Sandbanks to cozy studio apartments.

From Concept To Delivery Each and every project is overseen – if not handled – by Neill and Steve; a special service that you wouldn’t dream of receiving from a chain store. With Neill’s immense field experience and Steve’s shrewd knowledge of costing, the pair works as one mind to produce phenomenal results, planning, crafting, budgeting and fabricating projects, big and small, with unwavering passion and enthusiasm.

The Custom Made process always starts with a no-obligation consultation, followed by initial sketches that give you a flavour of the potential end result.

Customers are never pushed or forced into going ahead; “we like to give our clients room to breath, free of any pushy sales pressure”, says Steve. Once you are happy to go ahead, elaborate CGI’s are created to further portray the end result, allowing you to truly visualise your dream furniture. The guys pride themselves on always being on-hand or on the other end of the phone to answer any queries along the way, and even long after the project is complete.

A Fair Price for All Unless you’ve got some kind of relevant industry background, it can be really tricky to know somethings true value.

Well, the team at Custom Made have a solution: “All of our prices are all on a set template, containing flat rates for the cost of each and every material, fitter’s day

rate, and any other miscellaneous costs.

We punch in the figures and it gives us the final, honest price”. This might seem elementary explaining this, but the fact is that this is a really transparent way of conducting business; giving all customers the same fair pricing, whether it’s Canford Heath or Canford Cliffs, the price is the price.

Quality Assured Whilst their workshop might be more industrial – which the guys freely admit and even promote – their expert eye for detail is second to none. There’s something incredibly authentic about their workshop and being able to watch furniture being made right in front of you is a heartening experience.

Why shop for the perfect furniture, when you can have it Custom Made?

All of their fitters are employed, as opposed to sub-contracted, which ensures that they can control the quality and consistency of each and every project. The fitters are motivated because they have the full time employment and in-turn produce superior results.

Having seen their workshop and learnt more about these guys’ commitment to beautiful design and manufacturing, we can easily see why so many put their furniture needs in their talented hands. If you have a home (or work) project coming up, get in-touch and see how Custom Made can create your ultimate vision to life.

TALKING BUSINESS

SOVEREIGN LIVING Your helping hand onto the property ladder It’s an incredibly tricky climb up the proverbial property ladder these days.

Whether you’re just leaving the nest or well into the game and desperately seeking a way out of the rental market, the financial burden of owning your own home is near enough terrifying.

However, there is light at the end of the rental tunnel, in the form of a new shared-ownership home from ‘Sovereign Living’. Here to help everyone who wishes to take their first steps in owning their own home. We spoke to their incredibly friendly team about their latest developments and how they can help locals, seeking a connection to East Dorset.

As a non-profit organisation, regulated by the Homes and Communities Agency, they offer a range of ‘Help to Buy’ services. With 20 years experience in developing home ownership solutions, Sovereign Living is dedicated to providing, quality, affordable housing in neighbourhoods where people want to live.

Who is Sovereign Living?

Sovereign Living has an established reputation as one of the South’s leading shared ownership and market rent providers, and has already helped to find new homes for over 4,000 people.

Driven by compassion, they strive to help people achieve the goal of owning their own home, and provide specialist support for first-time buyers, growing families, downsizers, and those facing changes to their family circumstances.

What is Shared Ownership?

The process is simple really. It starts with buying an initial share in your home, and paying a rent on the rest.

Then, as your finances allow, you can purchase further shares in your home as and when you choose, until you own it outright. It’s a phenomenal process that is allowing those who might previously not have been able, to take steps into owning a home of their own.

Sovereign Living is a trading name of Sovereign Housing Association Ltd – one of the top 10 largest social housing associations in the country and a main provider of affordable housing across the South and South West of England.

Holmwood Park Sovereign Living are delightful to introduce ‘Holmwood Park’; a superb new development close to Ferndown town centre in beautiful East Dorset, on the edge of the picturesque New Forest. Thanks to the opportunities provided by shared ownership, these quality properties are truly affordable – a simple and manageable way to own your own home.

They say location is key, and never was that more true than with this new development. Situated between the up and coming town of Ferndown, the area is alive with a friendly energy from the growing community. Should you seek solace from the liveliness, you can escape to one of the UK’s most coveted natural beauties, the New Forest – just a short ride away from this development, offering romantic views, roaming wildlife and breathtaking scenic walks.

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

PROPERTY EXCHANGED WITHIN 3 DAYS!

Well….. one must wonder, if a sale can exchange within 3 days, why does it normally take 3 months for an average sale.

We recently took on a Freehold property and sold it within days.

We also had more than one buyer for the property. Therefore, it was agreed the buyer who could exchange the quickest would be successful. I will quickly hasten to add at this point, this was not a race between the two, one buyer said they could exchange within 3 days and the other said 10 days. And true to their word, they did exactly that, they exchanged within 3 days.

How did this happen? The buyer was a cash buyer, they instructed their own surveyor to look around the property, the solicitors (both sides) ‘communicated’ with each other and there was no chain involved.

So… what can hold up a sale and why does the average sale take so long. If a chain is involved, this will most definitely add to the time.

It is a little bit of which came first, the egg or the bird scenario. Do you find a property you like first and then put your property on the market or do you sell your property first and then look for a property to buy? If you have not sold your own property (and you need the monies from the sale to purchase), then any offer you put forward cannot be really be seriously considered as you are not able to proceed with the purchase. However, what if you sell your property and then find yourself in a position where you cannot find a property you want to buy, it is not unheard of for those people to pull out, which can have a detrimental effect on a chain and see 4,5,6 people losing the house they were going for too! I know many people who sell their property and then go into rented for six months whilst they look for the right purchase and it also can put you into a more powerful purchasing position as you will come to the table with no chain behind you.

The sale market is drastically down on transactions, a recent forecast by the experts say that national house price growth will slow by half, growing by 14.2% between 2018 and 2022, a drop-off from the 28% price growth seen in the previous five years.

As an Estate Agent, it is our job to make sure you are fully aware of market conditions, they do change from month to month, season to season. We need to advice you of an accurate and realistic sale price for your property, so many agents over value to win an instruction, to only advise the client to reduce their price a few weeks later.

An Estate Agent should hold your hand through the entire process, updating you on a weekly basis. We are in this together to achieve the same result – a successful sale!

Have a good week!

Sharon If you are looking to, rent, buy, sell or invest, then choose Move On because it what we like to do best. DON’T MISS OUR ADVERT ON PAGE 79.

Margaret, 75, living with cancer My day didn’t start too well.

Everything had got on top of me and I felt really low. When I called the Macmillan Support Line, I didn’t know where to start. 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.

For cancer support at home, over the phone, call the Macmillan Support Line free

LANDLORDS – is your property compliant?

As I am sure you are aware you currently need to have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) when letting your property, a copy of which must be displayed in the property advertising and given to the tenant.

As of this date it will be unlawful to issue a new lease or extend a lease on rented properties in England and Wales that do not reach at least an ‘E’ energy efficiency rating. (There are some exemptions and exclusions, such as for listed property)

This legislation is being updated by the introduction of the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) Legislation which comes into effect on 1st April 2018.

For further information and to discuss how we might be able to assist in the letting of your property and management of your energy rating please call 01202 737755.

What’s red, green and brass all-over?

Well, evidently it’s this year’s favourite festive home trend. According to the interior styling gurus at Houseology, this year has seen the iconic fir green and crimson red brought back to life in a new and exciting way; with bright colour variations, sumptuous textiles and the “new new” metallic ‘brass’.

More Velour We become very tactile as the cold grows, switching on hibernation mode and longing to wrap ourselves in super soft fabrics. What fabric could be better than the comfort and softness of velvet? This season’s most favoured fabric gives a glamorous touch to any space. Use it in upholstered furniture, cushions, rugs and drapes for a lavish, yet cozy, look.

The New Red & Green Whilst the traditional festive colour palette is quite heavy, this season has turned it on its head. Welcoming new green shades such as emerald, jade, olive and juniper and fresh red shades such as burgundy, paprika, berry and garnet.

Let There Be Light Lighting is fundamental to the atmosphere of a room. Too bright and your guests will forever feel on their toes, too low and you’ll be caught in a permanent game of hide without seek. What you’re looking for is a warm glow, so ensure your bulbs emit a more yellow (as opposed to bright white/blue) tone.

However, lighting is more than just a mood enhancer, it can also make quite the design statement in its own right. Over the last few years, pendant and ornate table lights have become much more of a feature in our homes.

Metallics – especially gold and brass – are the ideal façade to add an extra special touch of luxury.

DESIGNER’S TIP: create a welcoming festive atmosphere with gorgeously scented candles. Step outside the usual spiced apple, frankincense and myrrh and opt for something rich and decadent such as aromatic coffee, tobacco (it doesn’t really smell of tobacco) and leather-scented candles – punchy, intense and perfect for any room in the house.

Cushions Galore Liven up the scheme with some unique touches. Houseology’s range of on-theme cushions are a good start, especially the much-loved Eichholtz Christallo Cushions complete with a hand-knotted rope trim. Clever placement – along with the right style – can transform your bed, sofas and other such cushion zones into cozy little nooks.

DESIGNER’S TIP: Regularly plump your cushions. There’s nothing sadder than the sight of a deflated pillow, so get whacking and breathe new life into the stuffing. If you can, be sure to strip the covers and wash them out once a month too, with plenty of fabric softener – they’ll smell and feel amazing!

To The Bar Good news! Home bars are back and better than ever. With a nod to the sensational 70’s, 2017 has seen the revival of the drinks trolley. This modern day tipples on wheels, has manifested into a trendy essential in living and dining rooms across the nation and long may they stay.

Time to embellish. Adorn your home in brass and/or gold accessories. Ornate candle holders, oversized mirrors and twinkling trinkets are the perfect decoration for sideboards, side tables around the home. Display trays are a great way to decorate too, complete with pretty hardback books (relevant to your chosen colour scheme), flora both faux and real and glitzy extras.

MOTORING NEWS The latest news on all things motoring.

By Nick Fletcher

THE NEW BMW X2 Just going on sale in the UK, the new BMW X2, which is priced from £33,980 BMW says: ‘The car’s chassis and xDrive intelligent allwheel-drive system delivers the ideal balance between sporting dynamics and efficiency. The digital services from BMW ConnectedDrive and BMW ConnectedDrive Services – both of which are now available in freshly updated form – add further depth to the overall BMW X2 experience.

‘The TwinPower Turbo engines within the BMW X2 range team with the car’s refined chassis to endow it with class-beating handling qualities, exceptional agility and superb feedback’.

At launch, the X2 xDrive20d 190 hp diesel variant will be available, offering a 0-60 mph time of 7.7 seconds and 61.4 mpg combined. Further variants of the BMW X2 will be added to the Sports Activity Coupé’s line-up in early 2018 – the four-cylinder X2 sDrive20i, X2 sDrive18d and X2 xDrive18d.

ROAD TEST: SKODA KODIAQ The Kodiaq is Skoda’s largest SUV, available with five or seven seats and with a variety of engine and trim options, giving it very broad appeal, writes NICK FLETCHER. Also offering the choice of 2WD or 4WD, the Kodiaq starts at £22,190 for the entry level S model but most buyers will move to at least mid-range specification to gets the best blend of equipment.

My test model was an Edition version with a 2.0 litre 148 hp diesel engine and in 4WD form. Standard kit includes 19-inch alloys, cruise control, drive-mode selection, roof rails, blindspot detection, dual zone aircon, keyless entry and stop-start, rear parking sensors, sat-nav with 9.2 inch touch-screen, connectivity, wireless phone charging and umbrellas which slot into the front doors! This version costs £33,675.

The 2.0 litre diesel unit is smooth and quiet, with a 0-60 mph time of 9.2 seconds and a top speed of 121 mph. Fuel consumption is 51.4 mpg combined.

The Kodiaq looks quite imposing and is larger in the metal than it appears in photographs. The frontal look with its narrow headlights and larger grille takes inspiration from

it flagship stablemate the Skoda Superb. Underway the Kodiaq proves surprising nimble and impressively secure and controlled on the corners, with light precise steering giving good feedback. In overall driving terms I’d say it was best in class.

The cabin is very roomy, with lots of head and legroom, and while the third row of seats is a tad cramped, the middle row does slide forward to create more legroom if needed.

With this sort of versatility, a flat-load floor and plenty of oddment stowage space including two gloveboxes, the Kodiaq earns top score for practicality. Even with all 7 seats in use, there is 270 litres of bootspace and folding the seats boosts it to a cavernous 2,065 litres, and the tailgate is powered for easy use.

Rivals in the sector include Nissan X-Trail, Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Sorento and perhaps the Ford Edge - all formidable contenders - but the Kodiaq newcomer covers all bases – well-built, spacious, comfortable, and with refined driving dynamics.

SKODA KAROQ DEBUT

140

The all-new ŠKODA Karoq SUV enters UK showrooms in January, priced from £20,875.

It comes in three trim levels; SE, SE L and Edition. Standard features fitted across the range include alloy wheels, privacy glass, LED rear lights, dual-zone climate control, front assist, pedestrian monitor and driver fatigue sensor.

Like its larger SUV sibling, the Kodiaq, the Karoq offers exceptional practicality for families on the move. Thanks to its generous wheelbase of 2,638mm, passengers enjoy plenty of legroom, while the Varioflex seating system (standard on SE L and Edition models, optional on SE) allows owners to adapt the rear of the car to meet their exact needs. The VarioFlex system consists of three separate rear seats that can be individually adjusted or completely removed to create a maximum load volume of 1,810 litres.

There are four engine options, two petrol and two TDI diesels and all four are available with a seven-speed DSG transmission as an option, with the most powerful diesel model – the 2.0 TDI 148 hp - also available with four-wheel drive.

MOTORING

NEW SEAT ARONA

ROAD TEST: FORD FIESTA TITANIUM The Ford Fiesta has been Britain’s top-selling car for the past decade, and since it was first launched in the 1970s, the overall sales total is more than 4 million, writes NICK FLETCHER. Ford puts the long-term success down to ‘style, value and driving dynamics’ though there is probably more to it than that. There are class rivals which are cheaper, and in the view of some may look better and drive better, but they all have individual flaws. The reason the Fiesta remains king is that it pulls all those strands together to make it best car overall. It’s the perfect all-rounder.

Fiesta prices start at £12,715 for a version which has alloy wheels, air-conditioning and Bluetooth, but not too much more. Mid-range Zetec models add more kit and my upper range Titanium test model added even more, which took the price in 5-door diesel form to £18,525.

This model has a refined 1.5 litre 118 hp diesel unit with 6-speed manual gearbox, and nippy performance – 0-60 mph 9 seconds and top speed 121 mph. However, it still returns an impressive 88.3 mpg combined. The Fiesta is fun

to drive, nimble and composed in the corners and with a very comfortable ride. Steering is accurate and gives good feedback.

The latest Fiesta - longer and wider than its predecessor - benefits from a mild visual makeover which sharpens its exterior looks, but the main difference is a re-designed cabin which looks impressive with muse opf soft-touch materials.

The driving position is excellent, with good visibility and plenty of seat and steering wheel adjustment.

Fiesta scores highly for practicality. There is more legroom for rear sear occupants, and boot space is 303 litres, expandable to 984 litres. The tailgate is larger than on the previous model though there is a deep load-lip. However, a variable-height boot floor is an option.

Standard kit on the Titanium version is extensive and includes 16-inch alloy wheels, heated windscreen, rear privacy glass, keyless entry and push-button start, cruise control, tyre pressure monitoring, auto lights and wipers, satnav with 8-inch touch screen, DAB radio, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Launched in November but open for orders now, the new SEAT Arona compact crossover which will be priced from £16,555.

The launch line-up features SE/SE Technology entry grade, sports-focused FR and FR Sport models and flagship XCELLENCE and XCELLENCE Lux trims, plus, two special launch versions: SE First Edition and XCELLENCE First Edition models.

The entry-level SE grade includes metallic paint, 17inch alloy wheels, bi-colour roof, black roof rails, chrome front grille, power-adjustable door mirrors, LED daytime running lights and tail lights, front cornering fog lights and automatic headlights.

Inside, there’s air conditioning, split-folding rear seat, double boot floor, electric windows front and rear, chrome detailing and leather trim for the gear knob and handbrake, plus SEAT’s Media System with colour five-inch touch screen, six-speaker audio with FM/AM/ DAB radio, Bluetooth and auxin/USB connections.

Petrol and diesel engines are available and up to 30 different colour combinations, with matching or contrasting body and roof finishes.

MASERATI LEVANTE S Maserati’s V6 petrol-engined Levante S is now available in the UK from £70,755. It boasts 430hp from a V6 3.0-litre twin turbo petrol engine, with top speed of 164mph and 0-60mph in 5.2 seconds.

The V6 petrol engine was designed by Maserati Powertrain, in conjunction with the Ferrari Powertrain development team, and is manufactured by Ferrari in Maranello exclusively for Maserati.

An eight-speed ZF automatic gearbox is standard and drivers can choose between four drive modes. Each one uses different settings, intelligently altering engine, transmission, suspension and electronic settings when required.

The GranLusso trim is externally recognisable by its metallic-finish front skid plates, the GranLusso badges on the front wings, the body-colour side skirts, the black-painted brake callipers and the 19 inch Zefiro alloy wheels.

The interior’s feel is further enhanced thanks to Ermenegildo Zegna silk or full premium Italian leather with a Radica wood trim and leather steering wheel.

TRAVEL

AN ESSENTIAL GUIDE TO SERBIA’S COOLEST CITY, NOVI SAD It’s not yet officially part of the EU, but Serbia’s second largest city is already gearing up to be a European City of Culture. Ed Elliott explores.

Serbia’s second city, Novi Sad, is just 60 miles north of the capital Belgrade but it quickly becomes clear to me that things are very much more relaxed here.

“It’s like being hit with a big tranquillizer,” says my tour guide, Srdjan, as we stroll around Novi Sad, which rests on the banks of the river Danube.

My first taste of the city’s easy-going ways comes amid the neoclassical architecture of Trg Slobode, its main square.

It leads to a tree-lined pedestrianised street packed with alfresco bars, running all the way to the beautiful red tiles and bifora windows of the Bishop’s Palace.

BELOW: Serbia’s capital Belgrade, which is around 60 miles south-east of Novi Sad. (Picture credit: PA Photo/B.Jovanovic)

To the right of the palace, are the enticing ice cream shops of historic Dunavska Street, while a short walk in the opposite direction takes you to the house where Albert Einstein reportedly formulated the theory of relativity while living there with his first wife, Serbian mathematician Mileva Maric.

But it doesn’t take a genius to work out that this compact city - dubbed the ‘Serbian Athens’ for its rich cultural past - is enjoying a revival.

Improvement to the facade of the couple’s former home (which is currently closed to the public) is part of the exciting preparation for the city’s capital of culture status in 2021.

The celebrated title should spark a surge of visitors. They will find plenty to pack into a short trip, but they are unlikely to feel rushed while doing so...

RIGHT: Novi Sad. (Picture credit: PA Photo/ thinkstockphotos)

Where to stay Adjacent to peaceful public gardens, the five-star Hotel Park (hotelparkns. com/en) provides an ideal base on the western outskirts of the city.

The first president of the former Yugoslavia, Marshal Tito, spent new year here in 1977 and, although some vintage decor still reflects that bygone era, it also adds to the hotel’s character.

Early evening drinks on the outdoor terrace are recommended, while those with a little more energy can make the most of the indoor swimming pool, sauna and fitness centre.

144

It is not unusual to spot a few famous faces under the grand chandeliers of the large, opulent lobby in early July as the Park is the hotel of choice for many artists and bands performing at the annual EXIT music festival. It also plays host to Serbia Fashion Week.

TRAVEL

You may easily feel full from the reasonably-priced mains (£6-13) but don’t even think about skipping dessert. Serbia is renowned for its raspberries, harvested in June and July, and the fruit is expertly incorporated into a selection of sweet treats.

What to see Constructed in the 17th and 18th centuries, Petrovaradin Fortress is the jewel in Novi Sad’s crown. The formidable landmark was almost wiped off the map during the Second World War when German forces attempted to blow it up by placing dynamite in the labyrinth of tunnels which runs underneath.

They succeeded in destroying the adjacent bridge but an Italian prisoner helped foil the fortress plot and the “Gibraltar on the Danube” continues to dominate the landscape high above the riverbank.

Enter through the lavish arch of Leopold Gate (free), visit the city’s museum housed inside the former Gunners’ Barracks (£2-3), and don’t forget to have a gander at the quirky clock tower which has its hands the wrong way around (so the small hand shows minutes and the big hand shows hours) to aid far-off fishermen along the Danube.

The best way to see the fort - and the charming Baroque-style lower town - is with the expert knowledge of a guide on a free walking tour (novisad. travel/en/booking-tura).

Expect limited access during early July when EXIT festival is held here.

Downtown Novi Sad is a 20-minute walk away, while the short taxi ride will set you back no more than £3. Double rooms, including breakfast, from £50.

Where to eat Tucked away down a quiet side street close to the the Bishop’s Palace, Fish & Zelenis (fishizelenis.com) fuses Greek, Dalmatian and Mediterranean cuisine to serve up fresh seafood, organic vegetables and homemade pasta.

Exposed brickwork, wooden beams, and trinket-filled shelves contribute to the small restaurant’s cosy atmosphere.

Kick things off with a complimentary mojito-style mocktail - the mint with lime combination slips down a treat - before tucking into salmon, squid or sea bream, accompanied by a tastebud-tingling tzatziki.

TRAVEL

Where to relax Serbia may be landlocked but there are still opportunities to sunbathe on sand. A little further downriver from the fortress, Strand - from the German word for beach - is a popular man-made stretch at the foot of Freedom Bridge, which is open all year (entrance around 40p).

Open since 1911, it now offers live music and coffee shops to attract crowds, and the shallow water provides the perfect place to play traditional ball game Picigin, adopted from nearby Croatia.

Alternatively, if you are looking for somewhere more central, the peaceful greenery of Danube Park’s 750 trees offers welcome shade from the scorching summer temperatures.

RIGHT: Freedom Square which lies in the heart of Novi Sad (Picture credit: PA Photo/D Bosnic)

ABOVE: Night falling over Varadin Bridge.

Where to escape Known locally as the holy mountain because of its 16 hillside monasteries, Fruska Gora is 13 miles from Novi Sad and an easy day trip. The religious connection dates back to the 16th and 17th centuries when Orthodox monks were forced out of southern Serbia by the Ottomans. Make sure you check out the fine frescoes of the Novo Hopovo monastery (free entry) the area is also a designated national park and the lush green countryside, interspersed with fields full of sunflowers, can easily be explored on foot or bike.

On your way back to Novi Sad, stop off and enjoy a drink in the pretty town of Sremski Karlovci. Look out for a red marble fountain with four lions in the main square; according to legend, if you drink from it, you are destined to return to the town to get married.

How to get there Air Serbia (airserbia.com) fly direct to Belgrade nine times a week from London Heathrow, with return flights costing from ÂŁ179, while Wizz Air (wizzair.com) offer three flights a week from Luton.

For further information about Novi Sad and Belgrade, visit the National Tourism Organisation of Serbia (serbia.travel).

HEALTH & BEAUTY

CLINIC VISJEUNE This is a Man’s World Watching a woman complete her daily or nightly cosmetic ritual is fascinating.

Cream after cream is applied – none of which you fully understand – only to emerge from the sanctum of the bathroom a glowing goddess – maybe less so on ‘mud mask’ night, when she appears more like a bog-monster from the marshlands. The point is, women are deeply immersed in the beauty industry, but men tend to fall short, especially down here on the South Coast. The good news is that the stigma surrounding the male grooming industry is changing, especially up in the capital, and it’s trickling its way down to Bournemouth.

In an article published by The Independent, research unveiled that the male grooming industry had a worldwide value of £14.8 billion back in 2015, and according to global market research the industry is set to spike to a whopping £46 billion, by 2020.

For those who haven’t yet taken a slice of this multi-million pound pie, we thought we’d do the legwork for you. We sent our token macho-man ‘Gary’ (lover of sport and burgers) to investigate the latest male treatments at locally loved ‘Clinic Visjeune’. Here is his account…

“I am the first to hold my hands up and say that I find the beauty industry intimidating as a bloke. I’m not one to make any kind of cleansing or moisturising a habit and I definitely wouldn’t have dreamed of going to a salon before, but after much

Special Offers

deliberation (and taunting from colleagues) I decided to give it a go.

Men, women, whoever; who among us doesn’t want to look younger?

Who wouldn’t want to erase the facial evidence of sleepless nights, habitual stress and the copious amounts of pressure? As a father of three wonderful children, I can totally see the benefit of a little rest and relaxation.

I went to Visjuene to test out the patented ‘Fire & Ice Treatment’ – the pre-red carpet procedure favoured by both male and female celebrities. I arrived with little known knowledge of the treatment, but all was cleared up by technician ‘Christie’ who explained the entire process before going any further.

Salon owner and practiced cosmetic nurse ‘Lisa’ joined to see how I was getting on. Both Lisa and Christie were incredibly knowledgeable and straight-faced about the whole thing. I was clearly uncomfortable and whilst the girls could have made light of the situation, they didn’t. They were both so professional and I think that’s what made me feel at ease. They took me just as seriously as anyone else; it wasn’t a novelty or a laughing matter to them that a man had come to take care of his appearance.

The ‘Fire & Ice Treatment’ is essentially a chemical peel. That might sound daunting, but this one is different. Unlike your usual skin peel, this super-quick treatment doesn’t

leave you red-faced. In-fact, with zero recovery time you can walk out the door and onlookers would be none the wiser.

I made myself comfortable on their treatment couch and awaited the first product. After undergoing what the girls called a ‘deep cleanse’, the first masque was applied all over my face with a soft-bristled brush. Christie mentioned that it would warm up and maybe sting a little. I don’t have a necessarily high-pain threshold, but I didn’t feel much stinging, though when the formula was removed it definitely tingled. The second masque was applied shortly after to cool the cell-rejuvenating action of the first cream. The process was polished off with a series of gels and serums to rehydrate the skin.

I picked up a mirror and held it away for a moment – what was going to be staring back at me…the new and improved Gary? Or someone more easily mistakable for Hell Boy? WOW I was genuinely impressed with

the results. It wasn’t obvious that I had something done; yet I looked revitalized and fresh. I spent the rest of the day receiving compliments and my confidence was through the roof.

I called up as soon as I got back to the office and asked what else they could do.

HEALTH & FITNESS Charlie Lowe from the fastest growing bootcamp ‘Wassmuffin Fitter Than fit’ talks Fitness, well being, healthy eating and of course Thai Boxing.

Hello there fit fam. I hope you are all fit and well or at the very least thinking about becoming fit or fitter. This issue I thought I would go over some of the benefits of group exercise.

I often have people telling me they have stopped going to the gym as they find it boring they have become stuck in a rut, using the same programme and routine time and time again.

People generally find an hour-long class goes quickly when in a social atmosphere with music, trying out new techniques. It gives people a sense of camaraderie.

With classes at our gym, you literally just have to turn up and be willing to participate; the coaches do the rest. We offer martial arts classes for all levels, in 5 different arts, let alone our fitness classes.

Even if you have very little knowledge of any of the martial arts, the instructors are there to pass on theirs. So the barrier of experience doesn’t need to come into it, as you will learn alongside others who are also at the same level as you or from more experienced students who are always willing to help.

The ethos at the gym is based on the understanding

that we have all been there at some point and we all appreciated help from others.

Time seems to be another issue people have with their training and our new group timetable takes that fact on-board – The fact that not everyone is available at that office finishing time. We have shift workers, mums and dads, students and many more, so that’s why you are able to exercise in a group, in a class either at 6.30am or 8pm, with many classes in-between.

Motivation makes exercise so much more fun, your coach and others in the class will really push you towards your goals, without putting the pressure on. A bit of friendly competition can go a long way to improve your fitness and having goals is a great way to stick at your fitness routine. Group goals can really work. You have a whole support network there that have all got your back and have the same kind of goals in mind.

It also can become a great social life outside of class with the people you have met. Generally you find you have a lot in common with other people in your classes so you are able to mix with them doing other activities.

I’ve said it before but I can’t stress enough how lucky we are to have the clients and members we do. They are forever checking-in and supporting each other along the way. Part of helping people to keep training is knowing you will have friendly faces there to train with, often having a great laugh along the way, but still reaching those goals and working hard.

With Christmas fast approaching, and people thinking about that fabulous outfit, we have a great offer to help you get started with us: £30 for a fitness membership throughout December.

This membership will include all early morning bootcamps at 6.30am, all evening and weekend bootcamps, and all 9.30am Thai boxing classes. To take advantage of this fantastic deal please Quote HOUSE1 when contacting us for this.

This is a deal not to be missed to get you ready for those Christmas parties, or simply just to start your fitness journey.

Why wait for the New Year when you can start now.

Get ahead of the rest and come try us out. You won’t regret it.

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

EXCITING NEW TREATMENT LAUNCH AT CHIC! MICRO-NEEDLING WITH THE REJUVAPEN Fractional Collagen Induction Therapy- also called Micro-needling The Rejuvapen is a remarkable, non-laser, nonsurgical treatment that causes skin to stimulate collagen production and fresh, new tissue. Skin tightens; wrinkles, fine lines, scarring, and hyperpigmentation significantly diminish; pores become finer; and the overall health and circulation of the skin is improved.

One of the great things about Rejuvapen is the antioxidants and growth factors we apply. Remember, the treatment uses small needles to puncture the skin. Since the needles make the skin more permeable, the Therapist works these antioxidants and growth factors into the top layers of skin.

How Does Rejuvapen Work?

Rejuvapen utilises precisely spaced micro needles in a small cartridge to create invisible, vertical, micro perforations into the top layers of the skin. As a result the skin shifts its natural repair mechanism into high gear and starts producing collagen and elastin. The self-repairing property of the skin is a 100% natural form of skin renewal. Adjustable needle length from .2 to 2.5mm allows customised treatments from skin freshening to deep scar repair anywhere on the body.

Skin becomes firmer and regains its elasticity, fine lines and wrinkles are visibly reduced, pores become firmer, circulation is stimulated and the overall condition of the skin improves.

After the initial treatment, patients often notice that their skin has a healthy pink glow and that fine lines are diminished. Skin naturally takes roughly four weeks to synthesise new collagen, but it is not until about four months that patients can see the full effect of Rejuvapen treatments. It

The Treatment: The Rejuvapen treatment is a micro-needling treatment that stimulates the production of collagen in the skin. Since microneedling enhances the production of collagen the treatment can reverse the signs of sun damage, improve the appearance of acne scars, stretch marks and hyper-pigmentation. Fine lines and wrinkles can be reduced and an overall healthier appearance of the skin will occur.

Areas to Treat: Medical Micro-needling can be used on all skin parts of the body (neck, décolleté, arms, legs and face.)

What is the downtime?

Typically the healing time depends on the severity of the damaged skin and the depth of the procedure.

Most commonly there may be some redness that resembles mild sunburn. This may last for 2-4 days.

Some patients may have the redness dissipate within 24 hours. The skin will be pink or red in appearance for 24-48 hours, much like a sunburn with some minor bleeding and very occasionally some mild bruising.

The skin may also feel warm, tight and itchy for a short while. Generally the inflammatory reaction of the skin is short and fades significantly after a couple of days. Patients with a more sensitive skin type or older patients may take longer to fully recover.

It can take between 6-8 weeks before visible signs of skin regeneration are seen and the process will continue to evolve over the ensuing months providing a gradual improvement.

is suggested that patients receive four treatments, spaced at least two weeks apart.

Who is a candidate?

Rejuvapen is a treatment that can be used on all skin types.

• Minimises Pore Size • Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles • Lifts, Tightens, and Rejuvenates skin, Builds New Collagen and Elastin • Improves appearance of Acne Scarring • Improves Hyper-pigmentation • Activates Cell Regeneration When will you see results?

Patients may notice healthier looking skin right away. However, keep in mind that dermal collagen remodelling occurs over time and it would not be realistic to expect damage that has happened to the skin over a long period of time to disappear right away. We suggest a series of 4-6 sessions depending on what the treatment is for.

CHETNA MAKAN BRINGS INDIAN STREET FOOD TO LIFE IN NEW COOKBOOK The Bake Off star tells Ella Walker about tackling the colourful and tasty world of Indian food. Don’t expect to find your standard chicken tikka masala and bhaji recipes in Chetna Makan’s new cookbook, because Chetna doesn’t do the expected.

In her first cookbook, The Cardamom Trail, the 2014 Great British Bake Off contestant explored how to use Indian spices in baking, and now her second recipe collection, Chai, Chaat & Chutney, takes an even more interesting tack. Packed with fresh, fast street food, it’s crowded with dishes best eaten with your hands, straight from the fryer and in twisted paper cones; dishes that Chetna couldn’t get enough of while munching her way around India for research.

But with a country the size of India, which has a sprawling population of more than 1.3 billion, and all of those people eating, cooking, trawling markets, frying fish and snacking on street corners - how do you go about distilling such an incredible cacophony of foodie goodness? “I actually didn’t know where to start because there’s so much,”

admits Chetna.. “It’s a massive country - different cuisine everywhere - so I thought, ‘OK, I’m just going to pick the four big cities and focus on that’.”

The big four - Mumbai, Chennai, Delhi and Kolkata - she explains, each have their own signature foods and flavours. What all four cities do have in common though, is how kaleidoscopic their street food stalls and markets are compared to Britain’s.

“They’re very, very different,” says Chetna with a laugh. “There’s more colour and life, it’s all haphazard. Here [in the UK], the street food stalls you go to are so organised! Everything is like clockwork everything’s in separate bowls! But there, oh!”

Straight-talking, to a point just shy of blunt, Chetna’s counsel for this year’s baking hopefuls is: “You have to find your strengths and stick with it, that’s my only advice. That’s what I did. I didn’t think I had to do things a certain way, or think, ‘I have to do this traditional English thing’, I knew my spices, I knew my stuff and I just stuck with that.”

Ingredients

Tamarind Stuffed Chillies (Makes 15)

15 small fat green chillies 70g tamarind paste 1tsp carom seeds (available online or from Holland & Barrett) 100g gram (chickpea) flour 1/2tsp salt Up to 120ml water Sunflower oil, for deep-frying Sea salt flakes

Method With a sharp, pointed knife, slit the chillies lengthways along one side and remove the seeds and membranes.

Combine the tamarind paste and carom seeds in a small bowl and use this mixture to stuff each chilli. Set aside.

In another bowl, mix the gram flour and salt, then slowly add just enough of the measured water to make a runny batter.

Heat enough oil for deep-frying chillies in a deep-fat fryer or large saucepan (ensuring the pan is no more than one-third full) to 180°C. Line a couple of plates with some kitchen paper.

Working in batches, dip each chilli in the batter, then carefully drop it into the hot oil and fry for about two minutes, until lightly coloured.

Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer the chillies to a paper-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Once all the chillies have been fried, dip them once again into the batter and (again, working in batches), fry them a second time for two minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Ingredients

Method

60g split chickpeas (chana dal - available from Sainsbury’s) 125g rice flour 125g plain flour 1tsp salt 1/2 tsp chilli powder 10 curry leaves, finely chopped About 120ml water Sunflower oil, for deep-frying Sea salt flakes Chutney of your choice, to serve (optional)

Put the split chickpeas into a bowl, cover with water and leave to soak for one hour. Drain the split chickpeas, then grind them to a rough paste using a food processor, adding one tablespoon of water if necessary to achieve a rough, thick paste that isn’t too runny.

Put the ground chickpeas, the rice four, plain flour, salt, chilli powder and curry leaves into a large bowl and mix well.

Very gradually mix in just enough of the measured water (or a little more, if necessary), a few drops at a time, to bring the mixture together into a soft dough. Cover the bowl with cling film and leave to rest for 30 minutes.

Fill a deep-fat fryer or large saucepan with enough sunflower oil to deep-fry the papdi (ensuring the pan is no more than one-third full) and heat it to 190°C. Line a plate with some kitchen paper.

Take small portions of the dough, roughly the size of a grape, and roll them into thin discs with a diameter of 5cm. Working in batches, fry the papdi for two to three minutes, until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer the papdi to the paper-lined plate to drain excess oil while you fry the remaining dough.

Leave to cool, then season with sea salt flakes and serve with the chutney of your choice.

Fish Chops (Makes 15)

Ingredients

Method

3 large eggs 300g skinless cod fillets 1 onion, finely chopped Handful of fresh coriander leaves, finely chopped 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped 2 small green chillies, finely chopped 1/2tsp salt Sunflower oil, for deep-frying Sea salt flakes For the coating: 2 eggs, lightly beaten 100g golden breadcrumbs

Put the large eggs into a small saucepan, cover with water and boil for 10 minutes. Drain and leave to cool, then shell the eggs and mash them in a bowl.

In a food processor, blitz the cod to a coarse paste.

Add the fish to the mashed eggs, along with the onion, coriander, garlic, chillies and salt. Mix thoroughly so the flavours are well combined.

Shape the mixture into 15 balls about the size of a lemon, then press to flatten them slightly. Dip each one in the beaten egg, then roll them in the breadcrumbs until fully coated.

Heat enough oil for deepfrying in a deep-fat fryer or heavy saucepan (ensuring the pan is no more than one-third full) to 170-180°C. Line a plate with some kitchen paper. Fry the chops a few at a time for about two minutes, until they are cooked through and golden.

Transfer to the paper-lined plate and leave to drain excess oil while you fry the remaining chops.

Season with sea salt flakes and serve warm with your choice of sauce or chutney.

“Each painting has its story behind, being born on the top of a cliff, on a beach or in deep valley of Dorset hills, where I used to walk to gain an inspiration. Blazing light and colours meet together in my paintings and create an impression of living melody or singing colours.

“My acrylic paintings are rich in texture and every dancing brushstroke creates sense of joy and freedom. I love to paint outside, spending hours gazing at the view, its like breathing in the atmosphere of surrounding beauty and breathing out images full of positive feelings producing even therapeutic and emotional impact on a viewer.”

ASK THE EXPERT...

TRY SALT THERAPY FOR HEALTHY SKIN AND MORE… The particles of dry salt that settle on skin during a salt therapy session have numerous benefits – therapeutic and cosmetic. Salt therapy gently and effectively boosts exfoliation, removing dull, dead skin cells and debris from the surface. This can help clear impacted follicles and prevent acne formation. It also helps normalise the skin’s pH-balance and fortify the skin’s protective barrier.

Dry salt aerosol has anti-bacterial properties, yet its gentle action does not compromise the skin’s normal microflora. It’s also an antiinflammatory, reducing redness and swelling, which make it beneficial in treating certain skin conditions, such as acne (you can combine with microdermabrasion and blue light therapy for faster results), eczema and psoriasis. It provides long-lasting relief from redness, irritation and skin rashes, helping to significantly reduce discomfort associated with lesions, scales and inflamed tissue.

Salt therapy contributes to post-surgery recovery, helping repair and promote healthy tissue regeneration and the prevention of scar tissue. It also helps prevent secondary infections by restoring the skin’s natural defensive properties, nourishing and revitalising the skin’s delicate tissues.

Salt therapy boosts skin microcirculation, facilitating deeper penetration of therapeutic skin care serums, lotions and creams, and it facilitates the elimination of toxins. It works synergistically with skin care treatments and helps maximise results. Moreover, its antioxidant properties help fight free radicals – for a powerful anti-aging effect. The end result is skin with a natural, healthy glow.

Clients who arrive in our salt room to address skin conditions are also very likely to experience an improvement in general health and wellbeing, with improved immunity and reduced hypersensitivity to the common allergens and other irritants that can trigger skin disorders.

Skin conditions are often exacerbated by stress and when clients take in the benefits of Salt Therapy in the peaceful atmosphere of a welldesigned salt room, they are likely to experience a much greater sense of calm and wellbeing.
