JIMMY’S SUPER FLOWER POWER The team at Jimmy’s Iced Coffee used their creative minds to implement a stunning floral art installation at the Christchurch FlowerFest 2018, in support of Dorset Mind charity.

The masterpiece featured a selection of flowers pouring out of a giantsized Jimmy’s carton, located on Christchurch Quay.

The beverage company is well known for its original and innovate ideas and have a dedicated in-house design team who work on the projects from start to finish. Previous creations have included an extravagant store window takeover at Wholefoods, Kensington, featuring tropical palms and Broadway style lights, plus multiple Jimmy’s branded vehicles, from vans to racing cars.

With the Jimmy’s Iced Coffee HQ based in Christchurch, the installation provided a perfect opportunity to support the amazing work done by the Dorset Mind team combined with a great location to reveal their new vibrant packaging which launched this month.

FlowerFest raises the profile of floral creativity to help showcase the joys of nature and its impact on positive mental well-being.

Over the course of the five-day festival, fans and visitors alike took to social media to express their appreciation for the Jimmy’s installation, with many referring to it as “amazing” and one going so far as to say it brought on an “overwhelming thirst”. Multiple posts highlighted Jimmy’s Ice Coffee and flowers as two of their most adored products with one taking to Instagram to share her delight: “Two of my fave things - @jimmysicedcoffee and flowers on Christchurch FlowerFest 18.”

‘IN TENTS’ VOLUNTEERING FOR MORTGAGE TEAM A team of office workers from Homeline Mortgages in Poole has been paying back to the local community by volunteering at the Avon Tyrrell outdoor activity centre in the New Forest. The group undertook a range of tasks at the centre which is run by charity UK Youth and is dedicated to the continuous development of young people.

Carolyn Dickinson from Homeline Mortgages said, “At Homeline we have a very solid sense of corporate responsibility, and we do many things throughout the year to support charitable causes. On two days we had teams volunteering at Avon Tyrrell to undertake a range of tasks from repairing woodland walks to setting up tented camps and building picnic benches. As well as putting something back to the community it gave us a real sense of achievement and was great out of office team building. The UK Youth staff are always grateful to volunteers who help them with maintenance and chores involved in the upkeep of the

centre. Their motto is ‘Experience, Learn & Develop’ and that certainly applied to us as well!”

Homeline Mortgages are independent, whole of market mortgage brokers offering complete mortgage support.

Baggette & Company offers wealth management and financial advice to clients across the UK. Pictured below: Pitch perfect. Volunteers from Homeline Mortgages and Baggette Wealth Management erected tents and picnic benches on their away day at the Avon Tyrrell youth centre.

Based on TV gameshows like Wipe Out, It’s a Knockout and Gladiators, Totally Wiped Out features a combination of inflatable and water-based sections where balance, flexibility and skill hold the key to success! A punch wall will try to knock challengers off a ledge, the inflatable balls will bounce unsteady participants in to the water and the sweeper arm will attempt to knock other from their podium!

Also nominated in the ‘Ultimate Salon’ and ‘Salon Team’ categories, Simone was presented with her award by Errol Douglas, a celebrity hairdresser and industry icon.

Teams of eight to ten can take part and the cost per team £120 per team. The minimum sponsorship per team is £600. Individuals can also sign up for £12 per person with a fundraising target of £50.

DIVORCE AND SEPARATION: YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED It can be an emotional and complex time for any family when relationships come to an end. The reality of divorce can cause many mixed feelings and can sometimes feel overwhelming.

Claire Buckley, Dutton Gregory Partner and Family Solicitor, answers some of the most common questions she’s asked about divorce.

ASK THE EXPERT ABOUT...

PACKING FOR YOUR MOVE Steve Webber, Director of Maidmans Moving & Storage Steve has many years experience in the moving and storage industry.

Mrs J asked “What are your top tips for packing?”

Steve replied: “Packing is a crucial part of any move. Get it wrong and it can be a costly and distressing experience. It is advisable to get your removal company to pack your fragile items for you, but if you decide to do this yourself. Here are some tips to help you.”

• • • • • • •

Start packing early; it takes longer than you think.

Order packing boxes & materials early Declutter before you pack.

Pack one room at a time.

List what is in each box.

Pack heavy items first and fragile items on top, Do not exceed 13 kilograms per box.

Always pack a box of essentials to take with you in the car; this should include tea, coffee, milk, kettle and mugs. Take snacks, a can opener and some eating utensils. You may also want to take basic tools and a first aid kit along with any necessary instruction manuals for the appliances you are moving. It is also a good idea to carry on your person any medication you may need.

Do you have a question for Steve?

Send it to steve.webber@maidmans.com or use the contact details below

How long does a divorce take?

It can take around 4-5 months or so but we usually advise not to apply for decree absolute (the actual divorce certificate) until all financial matters are settled. This can sometimes mean that it takes 12 months or so.

What is mediation and do I have to go to it?

Mediation is where you discuss areas of disagreement with your expartner with a neutral person (a mediator) present. The mediator’s role is to help you move the negotiations on and help you reach an agreement. If you are considering (almost) any application to the Family Court, you’ll need to have gone to at least one mediation session.

What rights do I have regarding my house and mortgage?

The answer can depend on all sorts of factors – are you married or cohabitees? Who owns the property?

The legal owner clearly has the right to live there and an obligation to pay the mortgage. The other (non-owning) party may have the right to live there too – and may seek an injunction not to be evicted, make the other person leave, or regulate how they both live in the property whilst the separation is ongoing. You are strongly advised to see a solicitor with regard to anything to do with your home and living there safely.

My partner has stopped me from having contact with our children.

What can I do?

See a solicitor. They will advise you of your rights. You would usually be advised to try mediation to see if you can reach an agreement. If that does not work then you can apply to the court for an order to see the children.

What does a court look at when considering a financial claim?

The short answer is “all the circumstances of the case”. This can include details such as: children, finances, pre-marital assets, inheritance, disabilities as well as other factors including case law precedent. Contrary to popular opinion, the behaviour of the parties and the reasons for the marriage breakdown are very rarely relevant and often aren’t taken into account.

Dutton Gregory’s experienced and friendly solicitors guide their clients through the sensitive and often complicated issues surrounding the breakdown of a relationship. To contact Claire Buckley in our Bournemouth office call 01202 315005 or speak to Pauline Ellis or Amy Nisbett in our Poole office on 01202 466669.

TALKING BUSINESS

YOU WORKED HARD FOR YOUR SECOND HOME SO WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU RENT IT OUT? When you’re building a business or a career there are milestones of achievement- turning over £1m, heading the department, employing 10 people and often what was an ambitious and hard fought for goal with hindsight seems like a small first step. £1m turnover gets to £10m, you make partner, set up your own practice or employ 100 people. The rewards for success can also follow a similar path- holidays go from 2 week packages to high end cruises, battered estate cars become sleek new Range Rovers and sailing dinghies morph into Sunseekers.

Whether you are a self improvement fanatic or just a practical business person who hates that mumbo jumbo it’s an indisputable fact that success comes from setting goals and visualising their achievementimagine being welcomed aboard that cruise liner or announcing to the staff that you’ve gone through £10m turnover and that image puts your mind in the right place and makes it more likely to happen.

What we often don’t realise until it’s too late is that all the fun is in the challenge and the journey, often when you reach the goal and buy the reward it’s a bit of an anticlimax and this can be particularly true when you finally sell the business or retire early with the big lump sum. One of my most memorable meetings was with a client who had sold his business for many millions talking about his new life: ‘When being on holiday is your job It’s a rubbish job!’

So it is that I frequently find myself sitting down with owners of fabulous second homes in Sandbanks or other locations.

They often own them outright, they don’t need to rent them out and the yield looks pretty weak compared to the big capital investment so why are they even talking to me? It turns out for quite a few very good reasons so let’s take a look at some of them: 1. You still know the value of money We’ve all been there, doesn’t matter what you can afford, it still hurts when someone quotes £400 to trim a hedge or a small bottle of mineral water is £6.50 from the minibar.

There’s a long string of people queuing up to charge you for something to do with your second home and running it as a business will provide income to cover expenses, make them tax deductible and crucially produce a change in the mindset of suppliers who will understand they need to be competitive.

2. Stop paying council tax!

A qualifying holiday let will be business rated and if it’s your only one you’ll get small business rate relief at 100% and pay nothing. There are conditions to meet but they are not particularly onerous, more info below.

3. Tax relief on pretty much everything Capital allowance rules let you claim full tax relief on purchases up to £200,000 a year and if you don’t have the income to claim against it’s carried

forward indefinitely until you do so that fantastic kitchen or designer sofa just got much cheaper.

4. Capital gains tax reduction This can be worth many times more than the rent, when you sell that second home you’ll pay just 10% tax on the gain instead of the usual 28% 5. Rollover relief When you sell a furnished holiday let and buy another the gain can be ‘rolled over’ into the new property so the tax is not payable at that point provided the new property is of equal or greater value. Note that capital gains tax does not apply after death so if you never sell the property you never pay the tax.

6. Retrospective Benefit- Are You Sitting On A Gain?

This is a really big one- in certain circumstances operating as a holiday let for at least a full tax year the entire gain may qualify for entrepreneurs relief even if the place has been a second home for a long period.

7. Services for you and your private guests If you are welcoming select guests it’ll be essential to have a really good management team in place delivering a premium service which of course means they will be there for you and your private guests too- freshly squeezed juice in the fridge? Champagne on ice?

Whatever you need will be managed and you’re guaranteed a hassle free arrival.

Qualification To get these benefits you have to be available to let for about 7 months of the year but you only need to actually let for 15 weeks leaving you with up to 37 to use for yourself which is probably more than you use anyway. There is no requirement for the lets to be at any particular time so you can have all the school holidays yourself if you want.

Everybody’s situation is slightly different and there’s often companies, trusts or other complications so you should, of course, talk to a suitably qualified person about your particular circumstances but the opportunity is there to get a lot more out of your investment and enjoy it more too.

OUTDOOR LIVING

DUAL PURPOSE SPACE Two gardens that became one Known for their detailed approach to garden design, Dorset Design Build have built an enviable reputation for high-quality, stylish landscaping.

With a wide variety of projects in their portfolio, their talented team approaches each garden with a bespoke set of designs, led by their deep-routed belief that every garden should be unique. It’s that same reputation and core belief system that steered one particular homeowner in their direction, commissioning Dorset Design Build to construct a space with dual functionality and easy adaptability.

THE BRIEF On this occasion, Dorset Design Build received a design created by another local design company and were instructed to complete the construction phase of the project.

The client's house is divided into two, with one half designated as a holiday

apartment for tourists. The intent was to bisect the garden into two spaces, which could be reconnected at times when the apartment was unoccupied.

The theme itself was very bright and contemporary, with different elements and plenty of overhanging shrubbery to create interesting enclosed spaces.

WORK IN PROGRESS The site plan was fairly simple, and the only element to remain from the existing garden was a maintenance shed.

Millboard composite decking was installed for the client’s primary side to come out at floor height, creating a comfortable decking space.

The rear boundaries and existing shed were clad with Cedar to give a contemporary look and feel to the garden. The client had chosen the coppered oak millboard to match the colour of the Cedar.

To adjust to the angle of the boundary, a block and render bed was installed to follow the angle and give a raised space for planting and soften the space.

A floating corner seat with a block and render backrest formed another planter to add interest the rear boundary.

The adjoining garden has porcelain paving combined with an atmospheric pebble drainage reel — perfect for outdoor dining. The client has since filled the space with movable outdoor furniture and pots to add more plants to the space.

40

The two spaces were partitioned by a sliding cedar screen on a rail system, attached to the existing maintenance shed, allowing the client to adjust the garden as needed with ease.

THE END RESULT Both the team and the customers were very pleased with the end result, so much so, that the customers had this to say: “Dorset Design Build were excellent, they were extremely professional and their workmanship was to a very high standard. Peter Jenkins the Chief Landscaper kept me informed throughout the build as to what was happening, he would message me nearly every day making sure that we were satisfied with the progress.

He was also able to suggest a couple of very slight changes to the design, which only became apparent as the work progressed. I would certainly recommend Dorset Design Build.”

— Mrs R, Poole

Great Oaks care home in Bournemouth is opening its doors to invite the community to experience what it is like to live with dementia, thanks to a revolutionary training course.

Great Oaks is the brand new residential, nursing and dementia care home in Bournemouth.

Managed by Encore, it is situated in a beautiful, peaceful woodland setting.

It is the third care home in the South of England from Encore, which specialises in modern, purpose-built, private care homes. Encore is becoming known as a dementia resource for the community by hosting a groundbreaking experience for a healthy brain to experience what it can be like to live with dementia.

Great Oaks offers the Virtual Dementia Tour, which uses specially designed clothing, equipment and sounds to simulate the effect of living with mid-range Alzheimer’s.

The care home in Bournemouth regularly hosts this event for local healthcare professionals and support groups to continue to raise awareness and challenge thinking about the illness. Great Oaks is offering this same opportunity to the community to take part in the Virtual Dementia Tour on 3rd July. Encore Care Homes, the care group that also manages Fairmile Grange in Christchurch, believes that the Virtual Dementia Tour training helps to further improve the care we all want to provide to people living with dementia.

The course, run by Experience Training Ltd, is the only medically and scientifically proven method for a healthy brain to encounter what dementia is truly like.

Operations & Quality Director of Encore, Izzy Nicholls, says: “Dementia is not only about memory loss, it deprives all the senses and can severely affect vision, hearing and touch creating a world of fear and confusion.

The Virtual Dementia Tour changes the way both healthcare professionals and family members think about dementia and helps to support them in communicating and connecting with their loved one.

This is a truly ground-breaking course that allows you to empathise with the feelings and sensations someone experiences when they are living with the condition.”

The Virtual Dementia Tour has been experienced by 1.2 million people in 17 different countries across the world but is relatively new in the UK. Izzy added that all Encore staff undertake the training as part of their in-depth induction programme, which ensures all staff within each home provide the very best care.

Great Oaks is holding the Virtual Dementia Tour on Tuesday 3rd July. This is a special, free event and bookings are open to the local community.

The experience lasts approximately 2.5 hours and places are limited.

TALKING BUSINESS

DO YOU HAVE AN INTEREST ONLY MORTGAGE? ACT NOW! Oliver Bishton, specialist mortgage adviser from Homeline Mortgages says that prompt action is called for if you still have an interest only mortgage.

In the 80’s there was a huge trend towards selling interest only mortgages where the borrower was expected to have a repayment plan in place, usually an endowment policy, that would pay off the end of term debt. In many cases these investments underperformed, or people did not even set them up, and for the past few years the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has been warning that some homeowners may not be able to repay the capital at the end of their mortgage and may risk losing their homes.

So, what can you do if you find yourself in this position?

Oliver said, “The best and most important advice is don’t ignore the problem, you will only make

matters worse. You need to speak to someone as soon as possible to discuss your personal situation and to work out the best move forward to prevent a crisis. An independent mortgage adviser can help you work out how much equity you have in your home, what annual household income you will have in coming years and will look at means to mitigate the situation.”

Options may include: Making overpayments. If you can possibly afford to make overpayments each month you can gradually chip away at the outstanding debt. It is unlikely you will clear it, but the end sum could be significantly reduced.

Switch to a repayment mortgage.

Again, you will need professional advice to see if you are eligible to switch to a repayment mortgage.

There are many factors to consider such as your age, your income

potential, the amount of equity in your property and the outstanding amount on your mortgage.

Switching to a specialist mortgage.

Some bespoke lenders have mortgages specifically to address this situation such as a 55 + mortgage or retirement lifestyle booster. Once again you will need to go through this with your adviser.

A mixed plan. In some cases you can have a mixed mortgage plan that includes part repayment and part interest only. As with any mortgage you will need to meet the necessary affordability criteria.

Equity Release. There are now modern mortgages on the market called Lifetime Mortgages which are equity release plans. If your property has significantly risen in value and you want to get cash out of the property without the need to move home, this might be an option to consider.

Downsize. If you have a home that is maybe too big to manage as you get older, you may think of downsizing and either paying off your mortgage in full or taking on a smaller mortgage commitment.

If you would like to discuss an interest only mortgage, talk to the team at Homeline Mortgages. They offer a free initial consultation. A fee may be charged should you proceed with a Mortgage or Protection application.

Please ask your adviser for further details.

To book an appointment call 01202 937444 or visit www.homelinemortgages.co.uk Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments.

HOME IMPROVEMENTS

THERMASPEC The Pavilion; custom garden room There’s no better investment than property. Year on year, our homes — even through times of great economic uncertainty — continue to grow in value, so it makes sense to devote as much as we can to improving them.

With this in mind, we went to the liberty of researching some of this area’s top construction experts, in the hopes of pinning down how you can profitably improve your property.

INTRODUCING: THERMASPEC Over the last four years Thermaspec have built a reputation for a superior level of work, helping homeowners across Dorset and Hampshire “add space and value” (as their motto dictates) to their properties. They originally specialised in bespoke orangeries, garage conversions and extensions, but whilst many found this the perfect solution, other customers looking for something a little different. A new way to make their homes bigger, that wasn’t the conventional extension. With that, Thermaspec added “Luxury Garden Rooms” to their portfolio, creating a high-spec extension away from the home, which made for a whole new living space.

But, instead of taking their word for it we were kindly invited to visit the home of one of their previous clients — a project that was a great success, working with the client from concept to completion, delivering amazing results that were both on time and in budget. With Thermaspec Owner Martyn, Project Manager Colin and the homeowner Shirley on site, the team took me through the process that led to this incredible Luxury Garden Room, affectionately known by the owners as “The Pavillion”.

What was the brief?

When you’re doing something this big, you don’t want to be doing half of it yourself. Thermaspec made this project enjoyable; they put the fun back into home renovation, through handling every single detail.

Can you talk us through the process?

– SHIRLEY, THERMASPEC CLIENT

60

Martyn: Initially Shirley approached us wanting to explore her options for a designated snooker hall — a “man cave” for her husband to enjoy his favourite past time in.

Shirley: We both lead such busy lives, so any downtime we get is precious.

Where we live there’s not that many options for my husband Trevor, so he would have to go off further afield to enjoy his snooker, which means less quality time for us. The idea was to bring his pastime home, so that we could still enjoy spend time together, and with all of our friends.

Martyn: After the initial telephone enquiry from Shirley we arranged to meet on site (their property) and get to know what they really wanted out of the potential extra space. We already knew it was going to be predominantly used as a snooker room, but there were plenty of other key things that came to light as the discussion went on.

Working closely with our in-house architect, and with Shirley, meant that we could tackle the designs knowing what would and would not work aesthetically and in terms of planning.

HOME IMPROVEMENTS

The whole thing has been a delight, and I really can’t recommend these guys enough. When I say I cannot criticize a thing, I genuinely mean that…

– SHIRLEY, THERMASPEC CLIENT

cannot criticise a thing, I genuinely mean that, and I run a business so I know what it’s like. The attention to detail has been second to none, and that’s to be said for everyone in the team. So often big home projects can be stressful, even traumatic, but having Colin on board managing the entire project made a massive difference. They’re extremely polite and a pleasure to have around, and the communication has been flawless throughout.

When you’re doing something this big, you don’t want to be doing half of it yourself. Thermaspec made this project enjoyable; they put the fun back into home renovation, through handling every single detail.

It was important for us to choose a local company. There’s a level of accountability on their part, you know they’re only moments away, and you’re not having to factor in the cost of accommodation for workmen either.

We found Thermaspec by accident scrolling through Google one Sunday evening, and we’re so glad we did.

Shirley: My husband, in his wisdom, asked what I wanted out of the space too, and from that we realised that all the details were working towards creating an all-inclusive entertaining space. Things like running water, a toilet, specialised lighting and sound equipment, suddenly became important details. We began to panic thinking of how many other trades we’d have to contact to get all the things we wanted, but to our surprise, Thermaspec had it all covered; carpenters, plumbers, electricians… all part of their team.

We were so impressed with how they’d really heard what we wanted, and after our initial conversation they came back with the plans, then we were able to adapt it with the architect in 3D-design, and then they really blew us away when they produced a full booklet of every single detail; materials, design, prices — and this was even before they’d got the contract. It was right then we gave them the green light and work began.

As a customer, what were your feelings throughout the build?

Shirley: The whole thing has been a delight, and I really can’t recommend these guys enough. When I say I

INTERIORS

EMMA JANE INTERIORS California inspired Emma’s dream of design intervention The secret behind the growing reputation of one of the region’s most successful interior design companies, Emma Jane Interiors, can now been revealed. It is the combined imagination and creative talents of one Hampshire lady, Emma Jane Betsy.

Emma is the driving force behind the sumptuous interiors of many homes and offices throughout the region.

Working under the namesake Emma Jane Interiors brand, Emma’s creations are ultimately a representation of her, and have been really impressing industry insiders and clients.

With a signature blend of French shabby chic and traditional English vintage décor, Emma Jane Interiors have built an enviable reputation for quality and tailored-made originality.

Their aforementioned style, an ability to perfectly reflect a client’s taste, is what makes their services so sought after, with genuinely unique ideas and results time after time.

Interior design is one of the toughest industries to break into. It’s all about reputation, and to build a reputation the designer needs challenging commissions in order for their own unique creative flair to shine through and be recognised.

After her return home, and whilst bringing up her own children, Emma dabbled in landscape garden design but was hampered by the English weather and the demands of working outside. “Eventually that deep yearning to be creative, and that desire to make rooms look special, became too much, so I enrolled at The KLC College of Design in Chelsea. The confidence that gave me fuel-injected my already huge passion, as I went from strength to strength perfecting my craft”, she continued.

The works of Peter Phan and Alla Shumeyko—whom she studied during her course— have always inspired Emma, but still has her own particular views on what makes a room special.

She explains; “I’m convinced this is why I’m here, my true vacation in life is to create warm, inviting and luxurious spaces - rooms you would make anyone feel relaxed and welcome.”

In Emma’s case, the commissions have become the bedrock of her reputation for class and style, with her clients becoming spellbound by her fabulous ideas and impressed with her ability to source the perfect piece of furniture, lights, or fabric to compliment their home.

From the tranquil setting of her design studio in Ringwood, Emma delivers her projects on time and on budget without compromising on craftsmanship, style, or detail. It seems Emma’s California dream has certainly come true.

Her success, in this toughest of worlds, owes much to her own adventurous spirit, especially to a yearlong excursion to California in 1995.

Emma had decided to become a nanny in the Golden State. It was whilst looking after other people’s children, that she struck her own rich seam of gold by discovering her natural talent for interior design. She said: “Part of the au pair programme was an obligation to study two college courses and I opted for photography and interior design. That was the start of my dream to become an interior designer when I returned to the UK.

TALKING BUSINESS

POOLE HARBOUR BOAT SHOW Coleman Marine Insurance in conversation with exhibitors at the 4th Poole Harbour Boat Show Coleman Marine Insurance were once again exhibitors and sponsors at the 4th Poole Harbour Boat Show (PHBS) which took place from Friday 8th – Sunday 10th June. Interest in the Show has risen significantly year on year and this year all exhibitor berths in the marina were sold out with many first- time exhibitors at the Show.

Tony Pauffley, Broking Manager, Yacht at Coleman Marine Insurance took time out to meet up and chat with many of the exhibitors attending the show. Tony advised, “Coleman Marine Insurance is delighted to be an event sponsor once again and we are thrilled

to see that the Poole Harbour Boat Show is growing in both reputation and size. We’ve been heavily involved since it was created in 2014 and feel a part of its journey.”

Ocean Brothers open the show The hugely successful event was officially opened by the Ocean Brothers, who have recently returned to the UK, following much positive acclaim for their inspiring transAtlantic Row. Ocean Brothers, Jude Massey and Dr Greg Bailey set off in January 2018 to row cross the Atlantic Ocean, to raise money for the British Skin Foundation. The brothers late

father and step father passed away in August 2015 when Jude was age 16 after an arduous 16- year long battle with skin cancer.

On cutting the ribbon to announce the event open, Jude advised, “The Poole Harbour Boat Show is a very special boat show to me. We were here last year, as exhibitors at the start of the Ocean Brothers fundraising campaign.

We are now here opening the Show, having raised over £100,000 and completed our row. It’s mind blowing where we are now and where we were previously. It proves that hard work definitely pays off!”

Dr Greg Bailey, who is an A & E doctor in Leeds, enthused, “It is a real honour to be here opening the Show. We are very proud of having raised over £100,000 for the Peter Massey Skin Cancer Fund for the British Skin Foundation and I’m already looking forward to my next adventure! We’re hugely impressed at the variety of activities for adults and children at the Poole Harbour Boat Show. It’s going to be a great weekend!”

For more information about the Ocean Brothers epic row please visit www. oceanbrothers.co.uk/ocean-brothers Sunseeker – “Showcasing the 74 Predator to keen and enthusiastic members of the public” Colin Rowles, Sales Broker at Sunseeker Poole, was welcoming a constant stream of visitors, keen to step onto the Sunseeker model moored at the Show. Colin said, “We have the brandnew model of the 74 Predator here, open to the public to come and view.

Portsmouth to Ryde was built in the Philippines and shipped by ourselves to the south coast.

“It’s really good to be visiting the PHBS and seeing it expand. It’s becoming an ever- important fixture on the south coast and it’s good to be connected to it. As a company we are expanding in to Dorset and we are keen to support events like this. We are using the newly opened South Quay and its new berth depth has been a great advantage, allowing us to bring in larger ships. We have recently opened our 2nd unit, in Dorset at Bournemouth airport.”

Bates Wharf Marine Sales – “Three sales made on day one” Gavin Ellis, Brokerage Sales Manager said, “We’ve been instrumental in helping to set up the PHBS and this year we are showing 9 boats. We do believe, however, that the show needs to be in May in order to capture the start of the season’s demand.

Gibbs Quay Boat Sales Ltd –“An opportunity to sell boats” Sales Manager Callum Lovett said, “This is Gibbs Quay Boat Sales 4th year here. We have to come to the PHBS because it’s on our doorstep.

The opportunity is definitely here to sell boats and typically every year we have sold at the Show and made some great contacts too.

“Buyers tend to be families looking for day boats. At this year’s PHBS we’re show casing the Monterey, Cobalt R5 and Cobalt CS22. We also have the Salpa’s – 20, 23 & 25 and the popular Grandezza 28. The Grandezza does well for us here.

We sold one at the Show last year. We’re looking forward to a busy weekend and the sun staying out!”

At the end of day 1, Brokerage Sales Manager, Alan Knapp GM enthused, “We have sold three boats today, a Beneteau GT40, a brokerage Fairline Targa 38 and a Bayline Element E5.

Interestingly two of the buyers were first time buyers.”

Harbour Yachts – “The 2nd hand market is vibrant” Alex Bardock of Poole based Harbour Yachts added, “This is such a great local event and provides us with an opportunity to meet other colleagues in the industry. We’re a used motor boats & yachts brokerage. It’s been a slow start to the year but we’re busy now. The 2nd hand market is vibrant.

There’s good supply and turnover is quick so people keep coming back to us.”

It retails at £3 million, including VAT. It’s 6 berth with 2 crew. We’ve had loads of interest from keen and enthusiastic members of the public visiting the show. It’s good to be able to showcase what we build locally at a local show.

Sunseeker are also headline sponsors of the event and we are keen to support the PHBS and make sure that it’s a hugely successful event.”

PSP Logistics – “PHBS, great news for the region” Shaun Parsons of PSP logistics is a regular to the show and speaking to Coleman’s Tony Pauffley commented, “We are an international freight forwarder and heavily involved in the marine industry on pleasure and commercial boats.

CServe Ltd – “Boat repairs, restorations, insurance works, riggings and engines…”

CServe Ltd is located on the Creekmoor Industrial estate in Poole. MD Chris Somner chatted and advised, “We do boat repairs, restorations, insurance works, riggings and engines - from 8ft to 80ft.

“I’ve brought a Poole AB with me to the Show. It actually belongs to my 5 year old daughter. CServe sell lots of them at Parkstone Yacht Club. I’ve also brought along the ‘Panther’, which is a stunning 1930’s British Power Boat Company Gentleman’s Launch. We’ve also got a 1960’s Riva Florida called Calypso which we rebuilt last year after finding in a barn in Henley! It’s grabbing loads of attention from show visitors because it’s a real proper classic. It’s been meticulously renovated.”

Chris added, “Being at the PHBS is about networking and showing people what we can do. We’re not selling boats here but our services.”

nice and just like a big get together and an excellent networking exercise and opportunity. Our boats are slightly unique as they’re aluminium hull and GRP super structure. They’re attracting attention as our boats are different – they’re designed for tidal areas and they’re very lightweight too. We’re hoping to make sales this weekend!”

Clipper Marine Ltd – “A flag waving and relationship building event” Peter Keats, Brokerage Sales Manager at Clipper Marine Ltd said, “It is wonderful to be here. It’s a free show and has a more intimate atmosphere than other international shows. It gives us an opportunity to meet our local customers and business colleagues and competitors. It’s a real flag waving and relationship building event for us. We are showing new Bavaria Yachts and powerboats. We usually get good leads here that in time have turned in to sales.

River Shack Boats – “Designed for tidal areas…”

Will Eveleigh is the founder of River Shack Boats. He commented, “We are the UK dealer for Silver Boats based in Christchurch and also a brokerage dealer. It’s our first time here in Poole.

We thought that, as locals, it was a good thing to do a local show. Everyone here seems to know each other. It’s really

Cobra Ribbs – “Showcasing the Nautique 6.2 and 8.7” Josh Arkell is Sales Manager at Cobra Ribbs, based in Christchurch. He is a regular to the PHBS and said, “We are enjoying showcasing the Nautique 6.2 & 8.7. It’s the first season of sales for the 6.2 – it’s our smallest boat but offers all of the Cobra features in a smaller package. Like all of our boats it has superb handling and high- quality features such as suspension seating and a big, well protected console. 43 knots and it retails from £60,000.”

The PHBS is a family affair!

Many families and young people were welcomed to the PHBS. One family that Tony Pauffley chatted with were the Peters family from Cambridgeshire.

Andrew and Amy Peters enjoyed stepping onto many vessels with their enthusiastic 3 year old son, Theo, who was loving every minute of his visit!

Dad Andrew advised, “We came to the boat show last year and had such a good time that we made sure that when we were visiting family in the area again that our trip coincided with the PHBS dates!”

TRAVEL

MEXICOA-GO-GO Perched under a palm tree, sprawled out on a sun lounger, where the hardest decision is “what drink to have next?”—That is my happy place.

Three years ago, my SO and I packed our bags and headed for the coast of Mexico and we discovered what I still consider to be one of my absolute favourite places to visit —I would say live, but my boss didn’t go for the writing for a Dorset magazine in North America—in this world.

Alive with vibrant energy, Mexico offers everything from tropical jungles and ancient ruins, to palm-lined beaches and buzzing urbanizations.

No two places are the same and each comes with its own signature magic and charm.

There are tons of ways to enjoy this beautiful country, and each to their own, but for me, little beats the allure of a luxurious all-inclusive on the breathtaking Caribbean coast— knowing that everything is taken care of. And that’s exactly what we’re going to cover here, from where to stay, what to do and need to knows.

ON THE ITINERARY Visit Chichen Itza The Yucatán Peninsula that separates the Gulf of Mexico from the Caribbean Sea is home to some of the most popular holiday destinations (including Cancun, Rivera Maya and Tulum) but it’s also the home of what was once the prolific Mayan civilization. Chichen Itza, the once capital of the empire, is famed for its incredible Mayan pyramid, consisting of 365 steps and 52 base panels—representing the solar year. It’s a little peak into the amazing architecture, religion and culture of this time, and well worth a visit.

Explore Xcaret A splendorous mix of jungle, sea and sand, this 300-acre eco-archeological playground makes for a fantastic day out for both adults and children.

Alive with the sound of squawking tropical birds, gently knocking waters and live music, there’s never a dull moment, day or night. Learn about authentic Mexican culture and the ancient Mayan civilization through the incredible surroundings, food, and round-the-clock shows.

Swim in a Cenote Scattered across the Yucatán Peninsula, amidst ancient Mayan ruins are these magical limestone sinkholes, more popularly known as a “cenote”(si-’nõ-te).

With turquoise clear pools at the bottom, these caverns were deemed (and still are to many) as sacred, believe to be a blessing from the gods, holding the most precious gift of life; water.

TRAVEL

AVERAGE TEMPERATURE: 28° (June-September) TWO-FOR-ONE: Pacific & Caribbean Coast MUST TRY: Chocolate, Chilies, Tequila, Tomatoes and Elote (corn).

NATIVE LANGUAGE: Spanish—but English is widely spoken

smoke machines, laser light effects and blaring tunes. P.S. Your ticket also comes with open bar, so this is a strictly over 18’s only trip.

Zip-line through the Jungle The Sierra Madre Mountains are the perfect place to explore your adventurous side, and what better way to do that, than with an amazing zip-wire experience! Zoom above the trees, catching some of the best views of the jungle in the process.

Day of The Dead (31st October-2nd November) Simply put, the Dias de Muertos or Day of The Dead is a popular multiday festival that celebrates the lives of friends and family who have passed away.

This national holiday is widely celebrated across the country, but one of the best places to experience it is in Puerto Vallarta. Expect a carnival like atmosphere, with live music, dance and plenty of iconic skull-masks and face paints. Get stuck in and embrace the animated ambiance.

RIGHT: El Castillo, Yucatan, Mexico. (Photo by Jimmy Baum on Unsplash)

There are over 6000 cenotes located in this region alone, with some as much as 66 million years old, and there are plenty of different ways to visit them. Depending on the cenote and its individual features, you can jump, dive, climb, snorkel and/or swim into their beautiful cool waters; or you can just take the newly installed stairs, but that’s up to you.

TRAVEL

LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION Mexico offers an incredibly diverse array of experiences, depending on the location(s) you choose to visit.

First off, pick your coast: Caribbean, or Pacific? The Caribbean—true to its movie personification—offers the laid back beach life, with heaps of Mayan culture thrown in; whilst the Pacific is more of an adventurers choice, with surf-worthy waters, lustrous mountain ranges and some pretty special beaches too.

CARIBBEAN COAST Cancun Arguably the most popular destination, Cancun is made up of gorgeous resorts—including the infamous Hard Rock Hotel—whitesand beaches, clubs, bars, restaurants, on top of a host of incredible Mayan ruins. The calm waters are the perfect place for water activities and you’ll be spoiled for choice with things to do.

Riviera Maya Slightly away from the buzz of Cancun, lies the beautiful Riviera Maya. Teeming with picture-perfect beaches and crystal clear waters, it’s the ideal place to kick back and relax.

It’s also home to the preserved, bohochic town of Tulum—a must visit if you’re into boutique accommodation, beachside cabañas and ancient ruins.

100

Playa Del Carmen Once a mellow fishing town, Playa Del Carmen is THE place for soul-seeking adventurers. Whilst it’s now a little more built up than before, it’s still considered one of the quieter areas in terms of hotels, the nightlife however, is a different story. If you love trendy bars and eateries you MUST visit 5th Avenue; the ultimate place to sip incredible cocktails and sample amazing food, and ogle at the craft stalls and boutiques. But, if you do fancy escaping the hurrah, the island of Cozumel (one of the world’s top diving destinations) is a mere 45-minute boat ride away from Playa pier.

TRAVEL

PACIFIC COAST Puerto Vallarta A blend of golden beaches and vivacious culture, Puerto Vallarta has it all. Put on the map back in 1963 as the illicit hideaway for Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton’s steamy love affair, Puerto Vallarta is one of the most highly sought after visits on the west side of Mexico. Get your own slice of deserted beach at Conchas Chinas to the South, or take in the bustle with a stroll along the street-art and performance lined, El Malecon boardwalk.

which can only be reached by boat), walled by the lush green Sierra Madre Mountains make for a film-worthy paradise. But this kind of unblemished luxury does come at a price, with hotels such as the Four Seasons, the W and the St. Regis as just a few of the eminent places to rest your head.

TACO’BOUT A FEAST Food plays a huge part in Mexican culture, much of which has been filtered down into our high street restaurants, though perhaps not as authentic. You’re probably all familiar with all of the tortilla-based dishes (e.g. Burritos, tacos, fajitas…) but this incredible cuisine stretches far beyond that. A few must try dishes on your travels include: Empanadas Much like a pasty, an Empanada has a moreish pastry shell, filled with meats, vegetables and often cheese. Though these aren’t exclusively Mexican, they are still an incredibly popular street food.

Nuevo Vallarta Purpose built as a vacation resort, Nuevo Vallarta is a smaller, but perfectly formed option. Home not to only the most luxurious hotels (along the 3-mile white-sand beach), but also stunning villas and modern amenities including fantastic golf courses, a gorgeous marina and waterpark. If you’re a bit of a wildlife buff, it’s a great place for whale spotting and watching baby turtles take their first steps (through hatching season: July-December).

Punta de Mita Vacation spot of the rich and famous this fishing village offers rustic luxury in the midst of unspoiled colonial charm.

Its powdery beach alcoves (many of

Tamales A traditional dish made of masa or dough, filled with spiced meat and/ or vegetables, which is steamed in a cornhusk or banana leaf.

Frijoles Typically used as a dip (though not to be treated as an after thought), made from stewed black beans, garlic and chili, and topped with sour cream and tangy cheese, the perfect beer and nacho accompaniment.

Elotes Don’t be fooled, this is not your average corn-on-the-cob. The corn is coated in a creamy chili and lime glaze, flame grilled until golden brown and then sprinkled with a tangy Mexican cheese.

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

MORTGAGE TAX RELIEF & PROPERTY HEALTH CHECK We are now in year 2 (financial year 18/19) and we will be losing 50% mortgage relief as a tax-deductible expense. Year 4 (20/21) will be 100%. However, many landlords will only just be realising how year 1 affected them with losing 25% and some landlords may not still know, if they have yet to submit their tax return.

The impact of this can catapult some landlords into the 40% tax bracket, if not this financial year then possibly in one of the next 3 financial years.

For example, if you receive a monthly rent of £1000 per calendar month and your mortgage is £500 per calendar month, then previously the lovely HMRC recognised your profit as £500. In last year’s financial year (17/18) 25% of the mortgage was not allowed meaning the profit as far as HMRC were concerned is now £625, even though your mortgage is still £500. This year (18/19) the profit seen by the taxman is £750, next year (18/19) will be £875 and from 2020, HMRC will not recognise the mortgage at all and the profit will be deemed as £1000.00 – how lovely is the tax man!

There are some ways of mitigating this by selling your property into a limited company, however, you would need to take into consideration capital gains and stamp duty. But it can be a mind-field. It could be that you are now considering selling your investment property and we have helped many landlords through our Landlord To Landlord Sales company, where we sell tenanted properties to investors, meaning you still receive rent up to the day of completion.

If you would like a friendly no obligation health check on your investment/s, please ring for a personal consultation with myself.

MEET CHARLOTTE WHITE Through her bespoke cake designs, books, classes, and live demonstrations, Charlotte is working tirelessly to bring glamour back into the kitchen, one cake at a time. Charlotte’s mission is to demystify the art of baking and cake decorating, all whilst wearing stiletto heels.

Charlotte will be doing a demo both days at the upcoming Taste of South festival, displaying her signature style of baking to all whom attend. She will also be talking about vegan baking – she has been baking vegan cakes since 2009 and has a wealth of knowledge in this area. Until then, she has kindly given us three of her incredible recipes for you to try yourself at home.

More recipes are available on her website at www.restorationcake. com or see Charlotte in the flesh at the Taste of the South festival on the 21st & 22nd July. Head to www.tastesouth.events for more info and tickets.

SICILIAN LEMON MERINGUE PIE (PAGE 134) “To me, this is the taste of Italy. The zesty lemon set against a bittersweet almondy base, laden with butter, sweet meringue, and a shot of Limoncello to finish sounds like the perfect Italian meal and is just what you can expect from this delicious treat.”

PISTACHIO & RASPBERRY CAKE (PAGE 135) “Not only does this cake taste divine but it looks so very pretty too!

There are a few optional elements to this recipe. Firstly, I recommend peeling the pistachio nuts to reveal their bright greenness within, as vibrant as Parakeet feathers. This is a dull job and you will curse my name, but believe me when I say that the extra effort is rewarded. We eat with our eyes and the natural brown shade of this cake does not say pistachio as much as the green sponge does”.

KEY LIME PIE (PAGE 136) “I have combined two other dessert favourites in the creation of my Key Lime Pie. Firstly, I have used chocolate chip cookies in my buttery biscuit base, as I love Chocolate Lime Sweets. Secondly, I have used an Italian Meringue on the top of the pie in the same way as I would for a Lemon Meringue Pie.”

INTERIORS

A WALK IN THE RAINFOREST We’ve all had that fantasy of disregarding our earthly possessions and escaping to a deserted island.

Picture it, living in a coincidently empty tree house in the middle of the rainforest; being one with nature, living the life of a true explorer. Unchained from the shackles of our responsibilities and constant availability, with a toucan as your one and only means of communication to the outside world (I may be stealing a few ideas here). You bathe amongst the elements, beneath the picturesque waterfall, surrounded by lush greenery and exotic flora. Whilst you might be thinking this is a very tenuous link to this edition’s interior design feature — and you might not be entirely wrong — for this issue I decided to set our stylists on researching just how to create your very own little tropical bathroom at home.

STYLIST’S NOTE “With everything around us moving so fast, it’s no surprise that people are trying to get back to nature, and this theme is a brilliant way to bring it alive in your own home.”

- Victoria Williams, Lifestyle Editor

THE THEME IS GREEN Needless to say that any theme that is seemingly meant to reflect the rainforest is going to have to include a lot of green, but don’t panic. Whilst green isn’t always the most appealing of colours to start painting your walls in, there are subtle ways that you can intergrade it without going overboard.

First off, pick the right green: ideally a rich emerald or bottle green. Being such a strong colour I’d recommend tactfully creating a feature wall, rather than painting every wall the same shade—equally you could opt for a feature-tiled section. The wall you choose should be the most to make the biggest statement, a wow factor as

soon as you walk in—however, if you’re working with a smaller space, then I’d consider painting the wall closest to the window, so that the natural light lifts the shade, ensuring that the room doesn’t look smaller by feeling darker. Equally, if you’d prefer to keep your scheme more flexible, then opt to integrate your green theme through your accessories and furnishings.

ADD A CONTEMPORARY FEEL As much as this look is about getting back to nature, a few modern amenities will complete the style and give it a purposeful look, as opposed to what might otherwise look like an overgrown jungle.

INTERIORS

INCORPORATE PATTERNS

PLANTS PLEASE

Patterns can really help to break up and add interest to the space.

Particularly black and white in this instance, to contrast the vivacious green. A few key places you could incorporate them are within your bathroom textiles (e.g. shower curtains, towels) but you could also opt for monochromatic sink accessories such as toothbrush holders, tumblers and soap dispensers. It’s really yours for the making, but do try not to go too over the top—abide by the age-old rule of “less is more”.

A true rainforest-esk look wouldn’t be complete without a host of gorgeous plants. In this case think about large, tropical, leafy plants such as palm, fern, dracaena or peace lily. Liberally place them around the space in pretty, mismatching vases, but be sure to take good care of them, as their lustrous green colour is what will make or break this look.

Adding little brass flourishes in the form of trays, candles, vases etc., will enhance the glamour in the room, whilst wicker storage baskets, dustbins and hessian accessories will boost the natural feel.

STYLIST’S NOTE “Brass is the in metal right now. We’re steering away from the cool, modern feel of chrome and incorporating warmer metals to make our homes feel that bit more lavish.”

MOTORING

MOTORING NEWS The latest news on all things motoring.

By Nick Fletcher

ALL-NEW COMBO LIFE

132

Vauxhall’s all-new Combo Life will arrive in UK showrooms in September priced from £20,530.

Aimed at “active families and empty nesters”, the Combo Life comes in two trims, Design and Energy, with Energy models available as either a five- or sevenseater. Customers can choose between two wheelbases, standard and XL, manual or automatic gearboxes and petrol or diesel engines.

The entry-level Design 1.2-litre (110 hp) Turbo Start/Stop 6-manual model includes air conditioning, DAB Radio with USB and Bluetooth audio streaming and 16inch steel wheels with wheel covers.

The Energy trim starts from £21,970 for the fiveseater 1.2-litre (110 hp) Turbo Start/Stop 6-manual model.

Specification includes eightinch colour touchscreen infotainment system, 16-inch alloy wheels and front and rear parking sensors The Energy seven-seater starts from £22,530 for the 1.2-litre (110 hp) Turbo Start/ Stop 6-manual. Specification includes 35/30/35 splitfolding second-row seats with fold-flat facility, two removable third-row seats and two foldable tables with cup-holders.

Combo Life customers can choose between a variety of turbo-charged, direct injection petrol and diesel engines, all with low CO2 emissions from 111g/km and fuel economy up to 67.3mpg.

ROAD TEST: ALFA ROMEO GIULIA SPECIALE Few cars can match the Alfa Romeo Giulia saloon for gorgeous styling, brilliant handling and sheer pulse-raising charisma, writes NICK FLETCHER. This beautifully designed executive express is so sleekly styled it appears to be moving even when parked, and with powerful engines and old-school rear wheel drive, delivers tremendous driving pleasure.

There are petrol and diesel engines and Giulia prices start at £29,875, though my test model was an upper-range Speciale with a 180 hp 2.2 litre diesel engine and costing £35,515. And an optional performance package and other extras took the final price to £41,185.

Top speed is 143 mph, the 0-60 mph time just 7.1 seconds.

Fuel economy is impressive at 67.3 mpg combined and the emissions figure low at 109 g/km.

The cabin is another tribute to stand-out Italian design, far more impressive and eye-catching that German rivals and adding to the character and kudos of this legendary Italian sporting marque. Standard equipment includes 8.8 inch touch screen with sat-nav, Bluetooth, DAB radio, dual-

zone air-conditioning, powered front seats, leather upholstery, cruise control and rear parking sensors On the road, the Giulia is fast and fluent with 50-50 weight distribution and accurate steering for planted cornering. The car is agile and grippy, and while the ride is firm at speed, it is compliant and comfortable in urban use.

All models have a smooth 8-speed auto gearbox but drivers wanting manual engagement can use the paddle-shifters on the steering column. There are also three driving modes which can vary steering and throttle responses. On the topspec Quadrifoglio version, there is also a Race Mode.

For looks and performance, the Giulia gets top marks, and it scores well for practicality too. With its long wheelbase, this 4-door saloon offers good head and legroom front and rear and there is a large 480-litre boot, though the aperture is surprisingly narrow.

In an exceutive sector dominated by accomplished though often rather dull models, the Alfa Giulia shines like a beacon attracting those who yearn for more engaging, more joyous motoring.

NEW BMW X5 Now on UK sale, the new BMW X5, priced from £56,710 and featuring a fresh design, an all-new interior and higher levels of refinement and technology.

Says BMW: “The all-new X5 demonstrates the latest advances in technology, design and safety, with the highest level of autonomous capability yet seen on a BMW X model.

A choice of TwinPower and M Performance petrol and diesel engines are matched to a new eight-speed Steptronic gearbox and the latest version of xDrive for maximum comfort, capability and performance.”

With a wheelbase 42mm longer than its predecessor, an increase in vehicle length of 36mm, an extra 66mm of width and a 19mm increase in height, the new BMW X5 has generous levels of space for passengers and their luggage.

There will be one petrol and two diesel units available. The BMW X5 M50d is powered by a six-cylinder in-line diesel engine with a quartet of turbochargers, with a six-cylinder inline unit in the BMW X5 xDrive40i and BMW X5 xDrive30d. All engines channel their power through an eight-speed Steptronic transmission, with xDrive intelligent all-wheel-drive.

The M50d has a 0-60 mph time of 5.2 seconds and a combined fuel figure of 41.5mpg and CO2 emissions of 179g/km.

The new BMW X5 xDrive30d is also powered by a straightsix diesel engine, this time with displacement of 3.0 litres and featuring a single turbocharger. Capable of reaching the 60 mph in 6.5 seconds, it returns combined fuel consumption of 47 mpg and emissions of 158g/km.

MOTORING

FORD MUSTANG BULLITT

ROAD TEST: LEXUS RX450H F SPORT The Lexus 450 RX hybrid is the company’s biggest seller, with more than two million sold worldwide. Now in its fourth generation, the luxury SUV has a longer wheelbase, more cabin space and additional features, writes NICK FLETCHER. Radical restyling makes the RX 450h distinctive in its sector, and its deliberate emphasis on refined driving dynamics and occupant comfort makes it a stand-out choice.

Priced from £48,645, this full-hybrid model with electric CVT auto transmission is powered by a 3.5 litre 259 hp V6 petrol engine boosted by two electric motors, meaning it can run on electric power only. While smooth and quiet, it still delivers eager performance – 0-60 mph in just 7.7 seconds, with a top speed of 124 mph. Fuel economy is 51.4 mpg combined and emissions 127 g/km.

The RX 450h has an awesome road presence. Its massive grille, sharply contoured bodywork and hefty 20-inch alloy wheels give it a dominating muscular appearance, especially on my F-Sport test model which adds lots of extra kit and is priced at £54,145.

It comes with self levelling air suspension, selectable drive mode, premium sat-nav, heated and ventilated front seats, parking sensors, power tailgate and lots of safety features including pre-collision system, adaptive cruise control, lane departure alert and automatic high beam. There is also a 12.3 inch infotainment screen and wireless phone charger among its long list of equipment.

The premium-look cabin is longer and wider than previously, and offers generous head and legroom for five adults. The 453 litre boot can be doubled by dropping the rear seats. The dashboard is impressively styled using quality materials and there is good layout of instruments and controls.

The RX 450h is smooth, quiet and effortless drive, relaxing on the longest journeys. Ride comfort is armchair quality and handling assured, with plenty of grip and stability. For such a large and imposing vehicle, it can be docile and easy to drive in the city, yet can be surprising sporty when shown the open road.

Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the legendary film Bullitt starring Steve McQueen, the new Ford Mustang Bullitt is available to order now, with prices starting from £47,145.

The special edition will be fitted with an uprated 5.0-litre V8 engine, delivering 453 hp, and features a number of unique design and specification additions paying homage to the film.

Mustang Bullitt sees the introduction of a unique metallic paint option, Dark Highland Green, alongside Bullitt design signatures in the exterior front grille, splitter and rear Bullitt badge.

Inside are Recaro leather seats with green detailing feature, alongside Bullitt instrument panel badge with unique chassis number.

New rev-matching technology will deliver smoother downshifts as standard for new Mustang 5.0-litre V8 models with sixspeed manual transmission, accompanied by a sporty “blip” – matching the engine rotation speed to that of the gear that is being selected for smooth, seamless gear-changes.

SIX MILLION SWIFTS! Sales of the Suzuki Swift have just passed the six million milestone since being launched in November 2004. Sold in 158 countries, Swift was recently voted a ‘Top Three Urban Car’ in the 2018 World Car Of The Year Awards.

Priced from £11,999 in the UK, it is powered by either a 90hp 1.2-litre Dualjet petrol engine, 1.0-litre Boosterjet turbocharged petrol engine or 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol for the newly introduced Sport model.

The 1.2-litre Dualjet SZ5 model is available with optional ALLGRIP four wheel drive, and Smart Hybrid technology is also available on SZ5 models that lowers CO2 emissions to just 97g/km.

Suzuki is also celebrating the 30th anniversary of its popular Vitara model, launched in 1988. Vitara is sold in 191 counties around the world and cumulative sales passed 3.65 million units in March of this year.

It is currently the best selling Suzuki model in the UK range with a choice of 1.4-litre Boosterjet petrol engine for the S model or 1.6-litre petrol for the SZ4, SZ-T and SZ5 models.

Vitara is priced from £15,999 for the SZ4 model with two wheel drive.

FOOD & DRINK

Sicilian Lemon Meringue Pie

Ingredients

Method

For the Cantuccini Biscuit Base: 175g unsalted butter (melted) 200g almond Cantuccini biscuits 50g digestive biscuits

For the Cantuccini Biscuit Base: Blitz the biscuits thoroughly in a food processor. You will need a very fine crumb to line the pie dish. The digestive biscuits will add stability to your biscuit base. Pour the melted butter into the processor and mix until completely combined.

Allow to cool completely before topping – this will take at least 2 hours at room temperature and this can be done the day before for convenience. Once completely cool, remove carefully from the pie dish and set on a plate or cake stand.

Press the damp, sandy rubble into the bottom and up the sides of a pie dish. Make sure that the biscuits are pressed firmly into all of the edges and base.

Bake in a pre-heated oven for 25-30 minutes and prepare the filling whilst baking.

For the Italian Meringue Topping: Place your eggs whites in a completely clean and dry mixing bowl (the bowl of a stand mixer if you have one) and set aside. The egg whites should ideally be at room temperature.

For the Limoncello Lemon Filling: Zest your lemons into a large bowl and squeeze in all of the juice from each one. Set aside.

Dissolve sugar and water in a small saucepan and bubble to 118C over a high heat. You will need to use a sugar thermometer to gage this accurately and to create the perfect meringue – this is well worth a fiver for taking the guess work out of this task.

For the Limoncello Lemon Filling: Zest and juice of 3 large unwaxed lemons 50g cornflour 300g caster sugar 425ml water 6 egg yolks 2tbsp limoncello For the Italian Meringue Topping: 225g caster sugar 50ml water 4 egg whites You will need: 8” deep loose-bottomed pie dish Oven temp = 150°C preheated

Combine cornflour and sugar in a saucepan, adding the water and stirring into a smooth paste. Bring the cornflour and sugar mixture to the boil over a steady medium heat, stirring constantly. You are looking for the mixture to turn thick and translucent. As soon as this change happens, turn off the heat and continue stirring until the mixture has cooled a little.

Beat the egg yolks into the slightly cooled mixture and pass through a sieve into the bowl containing your lemon zest and juice. Mix to combine.

Add limoncello to your lemon mixture and taste to check that you are happy with the levels of lemon, sugar, and alcohol. Once happy, pour the lemon centre mixture onto your still warm biscuit base until the filling reaches just below the top of the pie dish.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, until set on top when touched lightly with a finger with a little wobble remaining. You may find that the filling has bubbled up around the edges of the pie dish but this will settle as it cools.

134

Once the sugar reaches 110°C, whisk the egg whites on top speed until they are foamy and holding soft peaks. This should happen just as the sugar reaches 118°C. Pour the hot sugar syrup into the egg whites whilst the mixer is whisking – the syrup will incorporate quickly into the egg whites and a further 5 minutes of whisking is required to create stiff, shiny peaks of meringue.

Pipe or spread meringue on top of your lemon centre and finish with a flourish of flames from a chef’s blowtorch... or under the grill, though this is far less dramatic. I also like a handful of flaked almonds scattered on top of my finished pie but this is completely optional.

FOOD & DRINK

Pistachio & Raspberry Cake

Ingredients

Method

340g unsalted butter 340g caster sugar 6 large eggs 340g self-raising flour 1tsp baking powder 100g chopped pistachio nuts (shelled and peeled) 1tbsp pistachio paste (optional) 1tsp vanilla extract Green food colouring paste

Begin by peeling the pistachio nuts. To do this, cover the nuts in boiling water from the kettle and allow to rest in a bowl for 3-4 minutes. The water will turn a dirty brown colour and, once drained, the nuts will peel easily enough when squeezed between your thumb and forefinger. It’s a laborious job but worth it for the unadulterated bright green flecks that will stud your sponge. You can skip this step and simply chop the shelled nuts.

Raspberry Frosting & Decoration Cream the butter in a freestanding mixer for 2-3 minutes until soft. Add half of the icing sugar and mix until combined, then add half of the remaining icing sugar and mix again.

Cream the butter and sugar until pale and beat in the eggs one at a time until combined (you may need to add a tablespoon of your flour here and there if the mixture starts to curdle).

Add the cream cheese, which will lighten the mixture a little, and beat until the frosting is light and creamy.

Raspberry Frosting & Decoration: 250g unsalted butter 450g icing sugar 4-6tbsp best quality raspberry jam 2tbsp cream cheese 25g shelled, peeled and finely chopped pistachio nuts Freeze-dried raspberries

Add the vanilla extract, pistachio paste and green food colouring (the last two items here are completely optional) and combine until the mixture looks even.

You will need: 2x 8� sandwich tins, lined with baking parchment

Gently fold in the flour and baking powder until no lumps remain and stir through your chopped pistachio nuts.

Oven temp = 180° preheated

Divide the mixture evenly between two lined cake tins and bake for 35 minutes, or until risen and springy. Allow to cool for 5 minutes in their tins before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

Beat in the raspberry jam, adding enough to create a lovely pink frosting with a delicious hit of fruit.

Remove any peaks from your sponge layers with a sharp knife and spread Raspberry Frosting on top of one layer before laying the second layer on top. You will have sufficient frosting to cover the sides and top of your cake if you wish.

Decorate your beautifully pink cake with a scattering of freeze-dried raspberries and chopped pistachio nuts. Please regard the peeling of these nuts as obligatory as they will look stunning against the frosting and you will thank me.

For the buttery Biscuit Base: 80g unsalted butter (melted) 250g chocolate chip cookies or digestive biscuits

For the buttery Biscuit Base: Crush the biscuits thoroughly and stir them in melted butter until completely coated.

For the Lime centre: Zest and juice of 5 limes 2 cans of condensed milk PA Photo/Mike Cooper 8 egg yolks ½ tsp lime extract (optional) Green food colouring paste (optional) For the Italian Meringue Topping: 225g caster sugar 50ml water 4 egg whites You will need: 8” deep loose-bottomed tin, lined with baking parchment Oven temp = 150°C preheated

Press the damp, sandy rubble into the bottom of a lined cake tin. Make sure that the biscuits are pressed into the very edges of the cake tin.

Bake in a pre-heated oven for 30 minutes and set aside to cool completely For the Lime centre: Zest your limes into a large bowl and squeeze all of the juice from each one.

Separate 8 eggs, adding the yolks to the large bowl and retaining 4 egg whites for your meringue topping.

Add condensed milk and lime extract if you have it – I like to add a tiny amount of this to help the flavour along.

I also add a small amount of green food colouring for added drama. This is by no means essential and you can add much more if you want to go nuclear with the look of this pie!

Stir these ingredients together until combined and pour onto your cooled biscuit base.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, until set on top and with a little wobble remaining. Allow to cool completely before topping – this will take at least 2 hours at

136

room temperature and this can be done the day before for convenience.

For the Italian Meringue Topping: Place your eggs whites in a completely clean and dry mixing bowl (the bowl of a stand mixer if you have one) and set aside. The egg whites should ideally be at room temperature.

Dissolve sugar and water in a small saucepan and bubble to 118C over a high heat. You will need to use a sugar thermometer to gage this accurately and to create the perfect meringue – this is well worth a fiver for taking the guess work out of this task.

Once the sugar reaches 100°C, whisk the egg whites on top speed until they hold stiff peaks.

This should happen just as the sugar reaches 118°C. Pour the hot sugar syrup into the egg whites whilst the mixer is whisking – the syrup will incorporate quickly into the egg whites and a further 5 minutes of whisking is required to create stiff, shiny peaks of meringue.

Pipe or spread meringue on top of your lime centre and finish with a flourish of flames from a chef’s blowtorch... or under the grill, though this is far less dramatic.

MAY OFFER: NON-SURGICAL EYELIFT - FIBROBLAST, FROM £150* ASK THE EXPERT ABOUT...

NON-SURGICAL EYELIFT - FIBROBLAST The huge step forward in anti-wrinkle treatments everybody’s talking about Plasma- Fibroblasting is a new non-invasive, non-surgical eye lifting, wrinkle reducing, skin tightening procedure. The treatment helps to shrink excess skin and it is a fantastic treatment to dramatically reduce hooded eyes.

This procedure is a huge step forward in anti-wrinkle treatments. The skin around the chosen area is instantly tightened and you are left with a more rejuvenated and youthful look.

The treatment works by shortening and shrinking the skin fibres instantly through a plasma flash. This flash from a hand held device evaporates superficially on the skin at a tiny point and the skin shrinks around the targeted area. Further points are placed in a grid pattern across the skins surface, pulling the skin tighter without having to undergo surgery. Some clients can gain an instant rejuvenated look while others may need a few treatments. Anesthetic Cream is used to help minimise discomfort.

ALSO AVAILABLE: HIFU - Non Surgical Facelift (HIFU/The latest technology | Therapeutic massages | 3D eyebrows | Skin rejuvenation (IPL, Radio Frequency) | Acne and pigmentation treatments | Semi permanent make up | Acid peeling (AHA 5%, 15%, 40% & 70% available) | Microneediling (demaroller and dermapen) | Mesotherapy | Microdermabrasion | Non surgical fat removal | Botox | Derma fillers *Terms & conditions apply.

ASK THE EXPERT…

ARE YOU FEELING ‘STUCK’ AND UNABLE TO MOVE FORWARD IN YOUR LIFE? I have been working with energy healing for many years, and I never cease to be amazed by the magic of this wonderful process of helping people to heal from the inside out.

We all carry around unwanted ‘stress’ in our bodies - those negative thoughts, feelings and emotions which we absorb on a daily basis throughout our lives,including frustration, anger, fear, guilt, anxiety, sadness, hopelessness, despair, grief, depression, self-doubt, shame ... the list goes on.

So many people come to me feeling ‘stuck’ and unable to move forward. This feeling may relate to their home life, work, relationships, or simply that they don’t know what their next step should be.

My work focuses on accessing any negative thoughts, feelings and emotions that are holding you back - keeping you stuck. Sometimes these may be sub-conscious self-limiting beliefs that you’re not even aware of, which may have been with you since childhood, and are preventing you from achieving your goals.

Using a combination of Reiki Energy Healing and Life Guidance, it’s possible to access these blockages and release them, thus removing the heaviness inside that can make you feel ‘weighed down’, and unable to move forward in your life.

Feel free to call me at any time, and take that first step to achieving what you truly want and deserve in life.

HEALTH & BEAUTY

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

BENEFITS OF MARTIAL ARTS FOR YOUR CHILD

At Fitter Than Fit, we believe that a child’s total well being, both psychological and physical, can be strengthened simultaneously. While the physical aspects of exercise and Martial Arts training improves your child’s general health, it also improves emotional wellbeing with increased selfesteem and self-confidence, as well as decreased tension, stress, anxiety and depression. With that, here are just a few of the benefits of our Martial Arts programmes for your child:

1

SELF DEFENCE The instructors at Fitter Than Fit have trained for many years to make sure everything we teach is reality based. With that being said, your child may still be in the developmental stage of their life and will focus only on the basics of our Martial Arts curriculum. Basic Techniques include: proper exercise form, punching, kicking, blocking and evasion techniques.

3

SELF-CONTROL AND GOOD DECISION MAKING Self-control refers to the training that one gives one’s self to accomplish a certain task or to adopt a particular pattern of behaviour, even though one is unfocused or would rather be doing something else.

For example, when your child has learned to listen to mum and dad, or to pay attention in class listening to the teacher instead of talking to his friend next to him, he has demonstrated the ability to selfcontrol, while making the good decision to do so.

At Fitter Than Fit, as both parents and instructors, we work on this skill set every single day—instilling respect for everyone.

2

FOCUSING AND LISTENING We know focus plays a key role in the mindset of children, who have limited attention spans at this stage in their life. Our programme will build their attention span, teaching your child to focus on the task at hand while improving their listening and reaction skills at the same time. As a result, your child will excel in physical activity, improve their ability to stay focused and become an astute listener in the dojo, at home and in school.

4

TEAMWORK AND POSITIVE SOCIAL INTERACTION Teamwork is necessary for any young child to develop. It is at this stage in their life that they develop an understanding and a confidence in their ability to work with others. At Fitter Than Fit, our activity-based curriculum and teamwork-oriented environment, develops character and teaches your child that the more we work together in the dojo, at home and at school, the more we get done.

5

BALANCE AND POSTURE For many 3-6 year olds, one of the skillsets that is often overlooked, but needs constant work and attention, is balance and posture—basic skills necessary for almost any activity. Poor posture leads to cramped organs, improper breathing and a whole host of other unhealthy bodily expressions. At Fitter Than Fit, our Little Dragons programme helps to build strong balance, healthy postures and balanced movement through the use of age appropriate forms and drills—often presented as an engaging game to help developing students improve these fundamental skills For more information contact: T.
