HUMPHRIES KIRK HONOURED FOR HELPING TO SECURE VITAL FUNDS FOR CANCER RESEARCH UK Humphries Kirk offices across Dorset and Somerset have been recognised by Cancer Research UK after facilitating gifts from people choosing to leave a legacy to the charity in their wills. The charity presented a representative from each Humphries Kirk office with a certificate to acknowledge the firm’s ongoing support. The firm has been offering a Free Will Service to people aged 55 and over in Dorset and Somerset, as well as giving guidance and support for those wishing to write a will or update an existing one. Cancer Research UK receives no government funding for its research and relies heavily on the generosity of people leaving gifts in their wills. Over a third of its research into the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer is funded through supporters leaving a legacy to the charity.

A legacy gift can be anything someone wishes to leave in their will. Traditionally this is money but it could be anything that has a monetary value like an estate or specific item. Anything left to Cancer Research UK can be marked to be ringfenced for research into a specific cancer type or research within a local area. The Free Will Service has been running successfully for over 20 years across a network of solicitors in the UK. Anyone who wishes to use the service is asked to consider leaving a legacy gift to Cancer Research UK but is under no obligation to do so. Humphries Kirk has offices in Bournemouth, Parkstone, Poole, Swanage, Wareham, Dorchester and Crewkerne and has an international network of lawyers. Visit www.cruk.org/ freewillservice for more information about leaving a legacy gift and Cancer Research UK’s free will service.

The Silverbirch Estate Agent team organised the first Silver Beach Clean on the 25th - 29th June and were pleased with the response from the public. Starting at Canford Cliffs Chine they worked their way towards Sandbanks beach collecting the rubbish as they went. The community was invited to bring their gloves and rubbish bags, partners, friends and children to help with the clean up, and they had a great response with 42 people attending. Laila Safaee from Silverbirch comments, “The Silverbeach clean was a great success in raising awareness for keeping our beautiful beaches clean and the ocean free of plastic. We have decided we will do this more regularly at varying beaches in Bournemouth and Poole now.” Keep your eye out for future dates to see how you can be involved in a very worthwhile community event.

BOURNEMOUTH BUSINESS GIVES TOWN’S START-UPS A BOOST

PHOENIX GRILLS SUMMER 2018 UK LAUNCH

A Bournemouth-based PR company is helping the town’s start-ups get off the ground with a series of creative and effective courses for all.

Recently founded Lymington based company ‘Phoenix Grills’ imports German manufactured ‘showstopping’ multi-functional grills. This ‘must-have’ garden accessory functions as a BBQ, Pizza Oven and Fire Pit in one stunning design and adds a new dimension to the world of outdoor cooking and entertaining.

Sunny Bird, founder and director of Sunny Bird PR, has launched a new Publicity Course ‘Reaching Millions’ aimed to help small businesses and start-ups achieve media coverage on their own. PR can be expensive for small businesses with limited budget, and a daunting subject for those who do not understand PR but know that it should be incorporated within their marketing strategy. Sunny is going the extra mile to help businesses get themselves into the media with a series of one-day courses to support professionals and will be on hand to give advice and guidance tailored to each business. The intensive one-day event will show attendees exactly how to attract positive attention from the press and what it takes to land TV, radio, podcast, print, and online media. Drawing on her 20 years of PR experience, Sunny Bird will reveal real-life client case studies and the secrets of how PR has sky rocketed their businesses. The course is suitable for all abilities from entrepreneurs to students and it is designed to help those with little to no experience as well as people keen to learn more and discover the latest trends. Sunny Bird PR is a lifestyle Public Relations and Communications agency with a fresh approach to modern media. They create strategies for brands to connect to their consumers on a regional, national and international scale. The first event takes place at Sunny Bird PR offices on Friday 27th July, 10am - 4pm. To secure your place go to www.sunnybirdpr.com/pr-courses.

Can a BBQ really be a piece of art?

Until now these grills were found only in Germany; they are set to revolutionise traditional perceptions on what is important in a BBQ. Phoenix Grills was launched with the conviction that these grills will become synonymous with the escapism lifestyle we all strive to achieve in our gardens. The grills are functional yet beautiful; they will add warmth and elegance to garden entertaining space and allow parties to continue long into a cooling English evening. They are fuelled by charcoal and wood to give an authentic taste to outdoor cooking.

only in a heat resistant paint to give a sleek copper or grey finish. Performance wise they are outstanding; charcoal heats up quickly with the aid of the vermiculite bricks so they are ready to cook in no time. Very high temperatures can be achieved by closing the ceramic glass doors (ideal for cooking pizzas), yet they are easy to regulate temperature as well. Phoenix Grills is set to ‘Ignite the Magic’ and start a nationwide love affair with these statement BBQ’s which double as a work of art. No longer do we need multiple appliances in our garden – a Phoenix Grill does it all. Come and see us at the New Forest Show for a live demo and some tasty BBQ samples.

Phoenix Grills are made from quality raw materials including 304 grade stainless steel, vermiculite fire bricks and ceramic glass sliding doors. The stainless steel hood is painted for aesthetic purposes

JIMMY’S MAKES A SPLASH IN LONDON Popular iced coffee brand Jimmy’s Iced Coffee poured into London this month to give city-dwellers a refreshing caffeine fix as temperatures soared. The in-house creative team from the Christchurch-based brand have been making a name for themselves by wrapping black taxis and appearing on multiple transport links across the city. The expansion into the capital comes as the company re-launched its iced beverages with lower sugar content, Rainforest Alliance certified coffee and eye-catching new packaging designs. The team have also been out and about over the last month handing out free iced

coffee to thirsty residents, commuters and tourists during the heatwave. Commuters in the capital have been travelling in style in Jimmy’s Iced Coffee London black cabs, decked out with recognisable figures and the ‘GO GET SOME’ tag line. Look out for Jimmy’s roadside adverts and branded buses across Bournemouth, Brighton and Bristol too. Jimmy’s Iced Coffee was founded by brother and sister duo Jim and Suzie Cregan eight years ago. Today the business has rocketed from a small startup to being stocked in over 4000 stores nationwide today.

WAY INVESTMENT SERVICES INVEST IN THE FUTURE OF YOUNG PEOPLE A Wimborne based financial services group is supporting school leavers in taking their next steps towards employment. CEO of WAY Investment Services, Ian Hobday, attended Highcliffe School in Christchurch on Monday 9th July to deliver a presentation highlighting what employers are looking for when choosing candidates. The talk was part of the larger Dorset Chamber’s Young Chamber programme, of which Highcliffe School is a member. The Young Chamber, sponsored by Hoburne Group, was created in response to the annual Ofsted report to Parliament in December 2015, which outlined the importance of strong career advice and guidance while identifying the need for schools to improve their links with employers. During the presentation, Mr Hobday enlightened student’s as to what skills they should focus on and how to approach potential employers, reflecting on his 40 years of experience. Way Investment Services is a leading provider of inheritance tax solutions based in Wimborne, Dorset.

NAPIER Management Services Ltd teamed up with other local managing agents who operate in the Bournemouth, Poole, New Forest and Southampton areas, to host a ‘meet the contractor’ event last month.

that they can provide. Some contractors were previously only working with one or two of the agents involved so this event provided a great platform for them to meet the other property managers with the aim of encouraging more work.

The event which took place at the Village Hotel in Bournemouth, was free for local contractors to attend and was hosted by the ‘Big 4’ main local agents; Napier, Burns, Rebbecks and Hamilton Townsend, who between them manage over 500 blocks of flats across the region.

Aileen added, “As ARMAQ agents we take all our responsibilities very seriously and if contractors have already passed the rigorous checks required by one or more of our counterparts, then it’s a good starting point for us to look more closely at them to see whether Napier can work with them too.”

Light refreshments were served between 2pm and 4pm and over 100 contractors attended. The idea for the event came about following competency checks which have been carried out on reputable suppliers for each agent, and it was decided it would be a good idea for the other agents to meet those companies who had already been checked to use a collaborative approach.

If you’re a contractor or are responsible for the management of a block of flats, contact Napier’s friendly staff: 02380 337883/01202 314511 or visit their website at napiermanagement.co.uk

Aileen Lacey-Payne of Napier said: “We thought it would be a good idea for us to all meet the contractors who are already approved providers to our colleagues and to hear a bit more about the services

LIGHTHOUSE STAFF RAISE MONEY IN 40TH BIRTHDAY FUNDRAISING CHALLENGE Staff at Lighthouse, Poole’s Centre for the Arts have been getting behind Challenge40 – a fundraising campaign which celebrates the iconic arts centre’s 40th birthday. Lighthouse bosses threw down the gauntlet to employees at the beginning of the year, challenging each of them to raise £40 to provide opportunities for young people throughout Dorset to experience the arts through dynamic creative programmes. Staff wasted no time in taking up the challenge, and the fundraising pledges came in thick and fast. PA & Administrator Michele Shield completed the Edinburgh half marathon

on 27 May, raising money for Challenge40 and Coeliac UK. Other members of staff have run TV quizzes and ‘Who’s the Baby’ competitions for their colleagues, given up chocolate for lent or made and sold homemade natural cosmetics products and other homegrown items including freshly laid eggs and tomato plants. A charity Quiz Night will take place in the autumn for all Lighthouse employees.

ROCKREEF PROVIDES SOLUTIONS FOR ESSENTIAL KEY STAGE 1 & 2 SCHOOL CURRICULUM ACTIVITIES RockReef indoor adventure climbing activity attraction on Bournemouth Pier has introduced new educational lesson plans entitled ‘Curriculum Climbers’, for Key Stage 1 & Key Stage 2 learning in Primary & Junior schools. The lesson plans, designed to get school children more active, are intended to help schools deliver elements of the curriculum by providing an easy and flexible solution for teachers to engage with their pupils and count towards the mandatory ‘active and adventurous’ activity requirements, stipulated by the Department of Education. Bournemouth Pier Business Development Manager, Simon Catley advised, “We share many of the same values and aims as the schools that we are engaging with – at RockReef we are all about inclusivity, support, collaboration, confidence-building and helping children to reach their potential. Our team has worked hard to understand the challenges that schools face around delivering the curriculum and wanted to help. We’re extremely proud of the newly developed lessons plans that we have produced. They have been professionally prepared and approved by a range of schools and the ‘Active Dorset’ team. ‘Curriculum Climbers’ goes a little way to help alleviate some of the onerous lesson planning time commitment that teachers usually have to give. “The RockReef curriculum pack consists of three individual lessons plans for a teacher: two for schoolbased delivery in the classroom and one for centre-based delivery at RockReef. The school-based learning is designed to wrap around the centrebased learning at RockReef with a previsit lesson and a post-visit lesson.” For more infromtion call 01202 237915 or email Scatley@ thebournemouthpier.com

FOOD & DRINK

REVIEWED

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

LUNCH AT THE VENTANA GRAND CAFÉ We’re back baby. After what feels like a lifetime (in reality a couple of weeks) of reviewless lunches, the team’s morale was low — it was going to take some seriously tasty food this time to pull us out of our gastronomical slump. This week’s adventure led us to Bournemouth’s Oceana hotel group. More specifically, The Cumberland Hotel. Where a little gem of a restaurant lies, producing some classically delicious food, otherwise known as the Ventana Grand Café.

Through the hotel lobby, behind the stylish lounge, we found ourselves at the host stand, where Kris, our coincidental server for the afternoon, was waiting. First impressions: wow. The décor is certainly flamboyant and clearly no expense has been spared, with luxury trappings, artfully dressed tables and general indulgence in plentiful supply. We took our seats (our own individual armchairs, I might add) and began scanning the menu, keen to see if the extravagance continued. Before we could nail our food choices, Kris keenly saw that we the Pan Fried Loch Duart Salmon Fillet, served with wild rice, a duo of pea and beetroot purees, tenderstem broccoli and charred lemon. The fish was beautiful, especially the saltenriched skin and with a squeezed of smoky charred lemon the whole dish sang together in sublime simplicity. Across from me, Ross was tucking a meaty fillet steak, drizzled in a creamy Isle of Blue cheese sauce, making drawn out hums whilst repetitively dipping chunky-cut chips into the pool of meat flavoured cheese pulp. To his left, Ciaran was slicing through the Ventana Signature Variations of Dorset Lamb: one Braised Shank Shepherd’s Pie, one Rump of Lamb Hot Pot and finally a Lamb & Mint Toad in The Hole — a lamb extravaganza, as it were. Each mouthful presented the meat in a new and exciting way, with the braised shank coming out on top as the favourite of the trio.

were properly hydrated — by which I mean gin and tonics all around — to help the decision making process. We handed back our menus and awaited the first courses to arrive.

To start, I opted for a classic; Steamed Cornish Rope-Grown Mussels. It’s a fan favourite of mine for many reasons. Everything about it, from the ceremonial eating, the mopping of sauce; it all feels so right and this was a stellar example of how it should be done. Gorgeous, fresh mussels, without a single grain of sand in them, swimming in this flavour-

packed sauce of cream, white wine, parsley and a healthy dose of garlic. It was heavenly. Among our team’s other choices were the incredible PanSeared Scallops, the moreish Crispy Duck, Bean Shoots and Watercress and the aesthetically presented Scotch Egg of Black Pudding and Quails Egg — all of which recovered glowing reviews around the table. Our starters had almost filled us to the brim, but, ever dedicated to the pursuits of food reviewing, we continued. Following my incidental pesctarian theme I decided to sample

Stuffed and slipping sweetly into a food comma, we decided to call it a day. Overall, the food was beautifully cooked, well presented and served in a lavish setting. Whilst it might not be the cheapest necessarily, it’s well worth the money and we recommend making a reservation ASAP! By Charlotte Williams t. 01202 556529 a.

DUTTON GREGORY Are you looking into a Personal Injury or Clinical Negligence claim for yourself or someone you support?

ASK THE EXPERT ABOUT...

PROTECTING YOUR BUILDING Steve Webber, Director of Maidmans Moving & Storage Steve has many years experience in the moving and storage industry. Mrs A, had another question for Steve “How will you protect my house from damage?” Steve replied: “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 home too. As soon as we arrive, we will make sure the door frames 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.

At Dutton Gregory, we combine hard work and high standards with a sensitive, human approach to your claim. This is why we were chosen as the Dorset Legal Awards 2018 – Personal Injury & Clinical Negligence Team of the Year. Contact our dedicated team for specific advice and information: 0800 5999 999 | www.duttongregory.co.uk Here are some answers to common questions asked by our clients:

How much compensation can I expect to receive? Each person’s injury and set of circumstances are entirely unique. We therefore cannot realistically tell you the compensation amount at the outset of the claim, as we might not know your future prognosis.

How long will my case take to settle? On average this takes 3 years. Some cases, such as childbirth injury cases may take as long as 10 years to settle, whilst others, such as straight-forward dental claims may settle within 1-2 years.

Will I have a legal bill to pay at the end of the case? The short answer is ‘no’. In the absence of you having any Legal Expenses Insurance (your Home Insurance or Credit Card might include this type of cover), we may – subject to your case having reasonable prospects of success – be able to offer you a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA), or ‘no win no fee’. In the event that your claim wasn’t successful, in the majority of cases you would not be asked to pay anything.

Balustrades and handrails are vulnerable 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.

Why do I have to pay a ‘success fee’ from my compensation? The Courts recognise that Law Firms are taking on a financial risk when representing Clients under a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA), as they will not get paid their costs if the claim isn’t successful.

How long do I have to bring a claim? You have 3 years from the date of the injury, or the date that you first became aware that you had an actionable claim, to either settle the claim, or to issue Court proceedings so as to protect the claim from becoming ‘time barred’.

OUTDOOR LIVING

VISUALISING YOUR DREAM GARDEN With Dorset Design Build A dream garden can be a large undertaking, irrelevant of the actual size of the project. “Your perfect garden starts with perfect knowledge. And to obtain this, we need to understand how your garden will be used; who will spend time out there? Doing what? And when? We'll work to create a design that reflects your personal taste and style, whilst also being practical, affordable, sustainable and beautiful. All of which comes together to create a garden that adds value to your home, and enjoyment to your life,” says Dorset Design Build Founder, Peter Jenkins.

BEFORE

You and I might have an idea of the garden we want, but it never ceases to fascinate me how a landscaper can take that idea and bring it to life. On this matter, we decided to interview the experts over at Dorset Design Build, to find out what really goes into planning and creating dream gardens. With that, allow us to hand over to Peter Jenkins, the company’s Founder and Head Designer: “We start with an initial design meeting to learn about your garden, current issues and your overall vision. It is important to reach an understanding of how you wish to use the space, as a garden is very a

fine precision.” says Designer, Jordan Ling, “And so the groundwork begins!” concludes Peter. It's magical to see your dream garden emerging from the mud. If you’ve been inspired by Dorset Design Build’s behind the scenes look at the work they do, then you might like to explore more of their case studies on their website. If you have any questions, or indeed would like their team to help you with an impending project, then give them a call. They’ll be happy to help.

unique and personal space. Most importantly, we take this time to listen to your needs. Whether you’re looking for a large entertaining space or an intimate secluded area, we will design and tailor the garden to you”. A designed garden provides many benefits. It can improve how you use your space, ease maintenance and add value to your home. Most importantly a well-designed garden can be beautiful, expressive and enhance your property. With the kind of tools a professional landscaper has at their disposal, you can take that seemingly distant vision and quickly make it a potential reality with the likes of 3D software. Peter explains, “After we have learned what you need from your garden, we can move onto the design phases. To begin we need to survey the site. We use a state-of-the-art Leica Total Station system to carry out a full 3D survey of your garden that is millimeter-accurate. This can even pinpoint any electric and phone cables, gas mains and drains that we need to avoid.”

Whilst the 3D technologies open up a new world in terms of visualisation and logistics, the design team still value the more traditional methods that add that extra level of tangibility to a project; “Once we have gathered the required information we begin designing. We use a range of medias to carefully design your dream garden, creating accurate scale drawings, mood boards and site models to help visualize your new space,” adds Peter. When it gets down to crunch time and final decisions are to be made, the design team is there to guide you through. “We will work with you to create a final design that suits you. We will produce a couple of design concepts presenting different layouts to ensure different possibilities have been explored. We then amalgamate the concepts into a final design, specifying material finishes and rationale behind each design intention. Once we have completed your dream design, we use our state-of-the-art Leica system to accurately mark out your garden using laser technology for

HOME IMPROVEMENTS

POOLE JOINERY The Name You Can Trust Eighties Britain: “the era of home renovation”. A time of floral wallpaper, bright colours and mirrors in almost every room. But perhaps the most influential, was the introduction of uPVC windows. Since their arrival, the industry has come on leaps and bounds with new and exciting products coming to the market all the time. So, in the hopes of fishing out the next big thing, we visited the experts at Poole Joinery to talk about their family run business and innovative new products.

WHO ARE POOLE JOINERY? First and foremost Poole Joinery is a family business, with equal family values. Roy Smith has owned and successfully run Poole Joinery since 1994, placing great emphasis on continuous improvement and evolution, to create a company whose customers could rely on them for their expertise, quality products, dependability and an always-friendly service. It is for this reason that they proudly adopted the slogan, “the name you can trust”.

Co-owner (and son) Gareth joined the company in 2001 and over the past sixteen years has now assumed the mantle of running Poole Joinery to ensure its legacy, alongside his mother and sister who also work there. They work only with the best manufacturers to bring state-of-theart windows, doors and conservatories to homes across the South Coast. For over 20 years Poole Joinery have been building strong working relationships with suppliers, safeguarding the best products for their customers; “…we buy specialist products from specialist people. Our sliding sash windows for example, come from Roseview Windows who solely make sliding sash windows; likewise with our bi-folding doors, which come from a company who specialize in make this type of door and so on and so forth”, says Gareth.

WINDOWS WITH YOU IN MIND

Gareth and his team are passionate about providing the right solution for your specific needs, dealing with each window, and it’s unique requirements, in it’s own way. There are many reasons why you might decide to upgrade your current windows; insulation, soundproofing, better security, low maintenance or maybe even just for

aesthetics. Whatever the case, the team at Poole Joinery takes every detail into account; giving each window it’s own individual assessment and conclusion of what is most suitable.

TRIPLE GLAZING; KNOW THE DIFFERENCE A lot of people are selling triple glazing under the premise that more glass equals more efficiency, or that three panes are better than two, but in some cases three can be worse. There are some companies out there that offer a seemingly great deal on triple glazing, but what you’re really getting is double glazing with a few more bells and whistles. Allow us to explain… Windows are given a ‘u-value’ based on the level of insulation they provide. In theory the extra piece of glass awards a further 0.1 to the overall u-value of the window – the lower that value the better – but it’s not just about having extra glass. The problem arises when the extra layer is added to a standard sized double glazed unit. In order to maximise the efficiency of a double glazed unit, the gaps are filled with an insulating gas called Argon. Argon requires an optimum gap (between panes) of 16mm to work effectively and will then reduce the u-value by a further 0.3.

HOME IMPROVEMENTS

By introducing an extra piece of glass you’re then comprising the 16mm gap and making the gas less efficient. Therefore, you need a 44mm unit – made up of the three 4mm panes of glass and with 16mm air gaps between – in order for triple glazing t0 be effective. Poole Joinery pride themselves on offering a range of products that have optimal double or triple glazing systems, offering ultimate efficiency.

THE LATEST PRODUCTS For years architects and homeowners alike, have craved the authenticity of real wood windows, but without the up-keep and eventual deterioration. The classic range of foiled woodgrain uPVC was the initial answer to that, but with clientele still demanding a more realistic look, Poole Joinery sought a solution and in the process discovered something really special. Flush Sash uPVC windows are the best of both worlds. With all the integrity of wood and the longevity of uPVC, these perfectly formed frames are the industry’s latest innovation. Perfect for period homes in need of restoration (and top-grade insulation), these windows include some really interesting design features. Unlike the uPVC wood replicas of the past, the ‘Heritage’ range is the first to incorporate the seamless timber style joints, giving it a flawless finish. Using revolutionary ‘Graf Welding Technology’, these windows are built to last. In the absence of bumpy excess welding fluid (usually cleaned from the joint in the manufacturing process, leaving a small residue) dirt and mold have nowhere to linger on the Flush Sash range, ensuring a good-as-new finish for the life of the window.

Every window can be treated individually. Tailored to individual circumstances and the property in which it sits.

Available in a wide range of handpicked faux-wood finishes, the likeness is incredible. Everything from the feel of the grain to the look of the façade is painstakingly crafted to give the impression of real wood. Similarly, the design of the frame is entirely authentic with every inch being carefully considered to mimic styles from periods such as the Georgian, Victorian or Edwardian, right through to the present. Poole Joinery are the area’s leading specialist in windows, doors and conservatories. With a wide range of high-quality products and on-hand expertise, they will create the perfect window solution for your home and or business.

A BROADSTONE FAMILY HOME

One, two, buckle my shoe, three, four, knock at the door, five, six, pick up the phone and call Move On as fed up with people knocking at my door.

By Emma Jane Interiors When it comes to seeking inspiration and thinking outside the box, sometimes it’s worth some expert advice from the professionals, before speeding ahead into an idea that you may come to dislike rather quickly. Emma Jane Interiors was approached by Broadstone-based clients to re-design their home and transform it into something they could be proud of, yet would work as a functional family home for them all to thrive in. Emma Jane rose to the challenge and excelled her client’s expectations. By knocking down an old, oversized conservatory and replacing it with a brick-built structure it totally transformed the look and feel of the kitchen/breakfast room. By taking the ‘breakfast bar’ concept to another level, utilizing as much of the beautiful space as possible, Emma Jane breathed new life into the space, making the kitchen a real entertaining and highly-functional venue. The end result included a home office space and a snug for the kids to chill in whilst dinner is being prepared, and the most fabulous utility room hidden behind a sliding door. Each space flows seamlessly to the next, whilst maintain its own unique identity and styling; the likes of which are genuinely exciting to come home to, day to day. All the images of this beautiful Broadstone Home can be found on Emma Jane Interiors website at www.emmajane-interiors.com If you’re stuck on refurbishment inspiration and wanted to introduce something different and beautiful into your home or maybe you’re getting frustrated in not quite getting the desired look right, it’s probably worth a phone call or a free consultation with Emma Jane. Maybe she can turn your house into a dream home for you too…

TALKING BUSINESS

LOCATION. LOCATION. LOCATION. The Homeline team get Shaken & Stirred in Southbourne

There can be no doubt, the south coast, and the local area in particular, remain property hot spots with a buoyant and upwardly trending housing market. Earlier this summer research conducted by the Halifax showed that house prices in Bournemouth have been rising at higher rates than almost anywhere else in the country; and in the UK Quality of Life index, the Bournemouth and Poole conurbation always ranks highly in the top locations to live. For Poole based Homeline Mortgages, their client base confirms this, with an increase in purchasers seeking to buy property in Dorset. Carolyn Dickinson, Marketing Manager for Homeline Mortgages said, “Our business is growing year on year, largely as we become more well-known and attract new business through client recommendations. We

are experts in our field, but customers always say that it is our helpful and hassle free approach that they particularly like. We aim to support our customers as much as we can by taking the stress out of arranging a mortgage. We cover the whole of the mortgage market, so can access the best deal depending upon our buyer’s individual circumstances.” As part of the Homeline team’s community remit, they once again chose to be a sponsor of the Southbourne Shake & Stir Festival, an event which attracted record numbers this year. Carolyn added, “ We’ve been involved for a few years now and this coastal vintage festival really does have the feel good factor. Helped by the wonderful weather, we had the opportunity to chat to lots of families who may be interested in moving

to the Southbourne area. We have seen more enquiries from home buyers looking at Southbourne and Christchurch, so it’s great to feel part of the local community.” According to Rightmove most of sales in Southbourne during the last year were flats, selling for an average price of £203,303. Detached properties sold for an average of £464,970, with semidetached properties fetching £314,928. Homeline Mortgages deals with all major high street lenders as well as lesser known names, and your adviser will approach the lender that best matches your needs, giving you a higher chance of a mortgage offer. Recent transactions in the Southbourne area have included first time buyers purchasing flats in need of renovation and modernisation; young families up-sizing to bigger family

homes, and retirees investigating releasing equity from their property. “Southbourne is clearly a popular place to purchase. It’s close to the sea, has a village vibe and lots of independent shops, bars and cafes, as well as a broad choice of schools.

THE DOS & DON’TS:

DECORATING SMALL SPACES When decorating smaller spaces, considering where to start and how to choose the perfect colour can be a little daunting. Instinctually, you’ll do one of two things. One; stick to plain white, in the hopes of creating the illusion of space, but actually in turn create a small, dull room lacking imaginative flair. Or two; throw caution to the wind and go wild with colour, which can lead the other members of your

household to seriously question your decorative judgement. Luckily for us, and you, we sought out some expert advise from Charlotte Cosby, Head Of Creative at Craftsmen in paint and paper, at Farrow & Ball. In this dos and don’ts feature, she shares her top tips for decorating small rooms and bringing the walls within to life. So, without further ado allow us to hand over the reins…

CONSIDER THE NATURAL LIGHT

Before painting your room it’s important to consider the amount of natural light and the direction the room faces, as this will have a significant impact on the appearance of each colour. We often think the only way to create light and space in a small room is to paint it crisp white, but try using an off-white for a softer, more interesting alternative. Warm, yellow toned neutrals such as White Tie or Matchstick are best for reflecting light.

ON BEING BOLD

For those who wish to be bolder with their colour choice, then strong colours often soften a room and are the perfect distraction from its size and shape. Using our key colours for spring/summer Calke Green & Pitch Blue can help create an inviting retreat, while adding impact and depth to a room.

USING A SINGLE COLOUR

Using a single colour in a room is a clever way to create more space. With no point of reference and without contrasts, you’re less aware of where things stop and start. Try applying just one colour such as Vardo or Pitch Blue over the picture rail and up onto the ceiling to make the room feel higher and give an illusion of loftiness.

INTERIORS

TWO-TONE HARMONY

If you’re hoping to use two colours in your room, consider choosing a darker shade for your woodwork to accent the scheme. By brushing a paler colour onto the largest wall space, you’ll create a brighter feel, while the darker trim gives you a very sophisticated, elegant look. We’ve found that when skirting boards are very dark, it makes everything above them look lighter and airier. Try Mahogany, Railings or Mouse’s Back for a contemporary touch.

PAINT A DADO

Painting your own dado (the lower part of an interior wall that is decorated differently from the upper part) is another brilliant way of creating a more spacious feel with just two colours. Try painting the bottom half of the wall with darker

shades such as Railings or Blue Ground to really anchor the room. By brushing on a lighter paint such as Purbeck Stone or Ammonite above, you’ll find the paler colour of the wall will then flow into the ceiling to help delineate your small space.

EMBRACE THE DARKNESS

It’s worth remembering that it can be just as effective to embrace the darkness of a small room by using strong colours such as Pelt or Brinjal to create a dramatic, intimate feel. Cloakrooms and powder rooms offer the perfect opportunity to inject bold colour without committing to larger, more lived-in rooms in the home.

FIND OUT MORE ABOUT FARROW & BALL Renowned for their depth of colour and rich pigments, each of Farrow & Ball’s 132 paints respond extraordinarily to the changes of light throughout each day to create a uniquely beautiful look in spaces both large and small.

BH KITCHENS; THE ART OF THE CRAFT “To make something with your own bare hands is so rewarding”, says James, Owner and Principal Cabinetmaker, BH Kitchens. And he’s right. Don’t get us wrong, technology has helped us come on leaps and bounds in manufacturing—especially within the carpentry and cabinetmaking industry—but there is a certain quality, and aura almost, that comes from something that has been handcrafted; and never was that sentiment more true, than in the case of this incredible local business, BH Kitchens. We’re in the workshop as we speak; James is showing us around the current projects he is working on including the showcase pieces on display in the showroom. We stand in awe as he shares with us his passion for his beloved craft. The pieces really are stunning. On initial inspection the quality easily stands out, but as we creep closer to inspect the finer details you can’t help but be taken aback by the intricacy and clear attention to detail. We wanted to know more about what makes a BH Kitchen, and to do so, we’d have to go back to where it all started…

How did BH Kitchens come to be? As a young lad I was fascinated by carpentry so, at aged 16 (over twenty five years ago!) I served a five-year apprenticeship with a Herefordshire Cabinet Maker in a small town called Kington on the Welsh Border. It was here that I harnessed my passion and learnt the skills I needed to be able to bring to life my creative side. For several years after I worked for other independent joinery and cabinet making companies, gaining invaluable experience along the way. Over the recent years I have fitted many kitchens building a trusted reputation with many satisfied customers. Although, it was whilst fitting other companies kitchens, that I realised the need to feed my passion for cabinet making and utilise my expertise to its full potential. So, it was time to focus my attention on producing handcrafted quality furniture. This is when I decided to take the plunge and now have the facilities to manufacture Bespoke Handcrafted Kitchens and furniture.

We don’t just want to build you something that will last five minutes, we want to create a lasting hub of the home, that will see generations to come enjoying special memoires around the kitchen table. —JAMES, OWNER, BH KITCHENS

What do you strive for when building a new kitchen?

…But isn’t a fully bespoke kitchen expensive?

First and foremost Quality, which is why we decided to only use solid wood for all of our carcasses. No man-made boards like chipboard or laminate. Primarily, we use a knotfree pine for the interior bones of the cabinetry, and all of the fascias are made from tulip (or poplar, as it’s otherwise known). We don’t just want to build people something that will last five minutes, we want to create a lasting hub of the home, that will see generations to come enjoying special memoires around the kitchen table.

There’s a myth that bespoke has to cost you the earth, but it’s really not the case. Take your average high street kitchen company, for example. They offer you an unbelievable price to start, then by the time you’ve added in the things you want, you’re back up to some slightly more unsettling figures—and for something that isn’t custommade, and likely made of more budget materials.

We pride ourselves on delivering something that is totally bespoke, where we work closely with you from initial CAD Design, colour choice, style and materials, so that we can give you something that you can’t wait to come home to; a kitchen that will be loved for years to come.

Everything that we install into our clients’ homes are made right here, within our workshop in Poole. And we welcome customers to come down during the manufacturing process, to see the individual pieces of their new kitchen being made, which is such a worthwhile experience, especially when you’re investing in one of the most important rooms in your home.

MARITIME CHIC From classic to contemporary This is not the nautical theme, as you know it. Gone are the old ship ropes and boating memorabilia and in its place a crisp white and rich blue colour pallete and gilded accessories—this is “Maritime Chic”. There are plenty of different influences and routes you could take for this look, after all, nautical (from an interior design perspective) just means sea-inspired, which sea that is could drastically change how this look turns out. The key to this look, whichever coastline you use for inspiration, is keeping everything ultra luxury with soft materials, high-quality furnishings and metallic flourishes.

COLOUR ME BLUE It wouldn’t be a nautical theme without a lot of blue in the colour pallet. That being said, with this look at least, we’re not exactly talking about common sea blue, but rather more opulent shades. Deeper, navy blues mixed with crisp whites are certainly the base, but don’t be afraid to mix it up. Mix in subtle neutrals, off

whites, and greys for an added level of sophistication and style.

STYLIST’S NOTE “In the living room, invest in a topquality fabric sofa. Pick a solid colour form the nautical colour pallete, and contrast it with a gorgeous patterned occasion/arm chair.” - Victoria Williams, Lifestyle Editor

LAVISH LOOKS NEEDS TEXTURE The perfect look, whichever the room, has to have a mixture of opposing textiles. For this theme keep your classics as a base (e.g. linen and brushed cotton) and mix it up with little, out of the ordinary editions such as soft denim and more plush fabrics like velvet, in small doses.

ALL THAT GLITTERS IS GOLD Whilst this theme is nautical, we want you to think less rubber dingy, and more grand cruise liner. Did you ever see those scenes from the Titanic (the film of course) where they pan around the hallways and deck, unveiling all of these golden embellishments amongst the majestic mahogany shell? That’s what we’re trying to recreate here. Including plenty of golden (or even brass) accessories will elevate this nautical theme into next level luxury, and make it feel that bit more opulent.

STYLIST’S NOTE “A patterned rug can really tie a look together, particularly if the majority of the room is otherwise neutral. Blue and white work best for a natural theme, but don’t feel tied to these colours. Explore what works and make it your own.” - Victoria Williams, Lifestyle Editor RIGHT: Tom Dixon Brass Orbit Trays, Gold - Large, £100; Gold Pillar Candle Holder - Small, £35; Bloomingville Textured Glass Soap Dispenser - Clear Gold, £11.50; AERIN Shell Appetiser Plates, White - Set of 4, £115 (Available from www.amara.com) FAR RIGHT: Albie Armchair, £499, Mantis Bookcase, £450, Hiko Floor Lamp, £140, Ziggy Table Lamp, £75, Ayla Rug, £380 (Available from www.johnlewis.com)

LET THERE BE (PLENTY) LIGHT Atmosphere is a fundamental part of this scheme. Yes, every room in your home probably has a light in it already, but this calls for something special. This is where you get to add a little quirk and character to the room, and there are plenty of ways to go with this. Ideally, have three subdued light sources per room, placed at varying heights and angles to create a warm investing atmosphere in all parts of the space. These don’t all have to have matching shades either, in fact, mixing things up a little—so long as some of the colours/ style compliment each other—can create a really attractive look.

BELOW: Melody Corner Sofa and Square Footstool (Image courtesy of www.dfs.co.uk) RIGHT: Image courtesy of Monsoon (www. uk.monsoon.co.uk)

COMFORT IS LUXURIOUS What is luxury without comfort? With this in mind, be sure to load seating areas with plenty of comfy, yet stylish, cushions to create an inviting and chic communal space. Likewise with throws; have plenty casually draped over chairs, or rolled in nearby wicker baskets, particularly if the area you’re dressing tends to get a little chilly— after all, you want guests to feel their most comfortable and warmth is a big part of that.

MINGLING OF PATTERNS You needn’t solely use traditional blue and white stripes for this theme— though it’s good to still have them around. Experiment with plenty of patterns like abstract florals, paisley, or even subtle cubic styles that you can merge in small doses into the scheme to add another element of interest.

CHAPTER ONE…

THE JPS STORY

It all started with a little seed... Add two lovely ladies; one London Art Director and one Horticulturalist, both with a passion for the outdoors. Denise Wright, a design graduate from Bournemouth Arts University, was tired of being studio-bound and recognised the need to ‘get out more’. The seed started to grow... Janine Pattison, a qualified RHS Horticulturist who trained with English Heritage in London (and also Kingston Maurward in Dorchester), had always had an appetite for the great outdoors. The seed grew roots... They put their heads together to see how they could nurture their aspirations and decided to start a landscape design company to fulfil the passion they both had. In a moment of clarity, the roots took hold and, in 2003, Denise and Janine founded JPS Landscape Design. With Denise’s flair for design and Janine’s in-depth knowledge of plants, they started winning large projects for exclusive houses located in the Bournemouth and Poole region.

GET YOUR GARDEN PARTY-READY Summer is here and what better way to celebrate it than with a fabulous party? Warm evenings equal sundowners, so get your garden prepped and primed for summer entertaining with this (hopefully) helpful guide, and your guests will be raving about your do for years to come…or at least until next year.

that haven’t made it so well in the heat wave? If so, it’s time to cut your losses and throw them out. Replace them with vivacious new greenery, hedging and brightly coloured blooms so that you make a big impact from the off. After all, no one likes a weathered bush.

SET THE TONE

START WITH A SCRUB DOWN

First things first, give your garden— patio, lawn, the works—a thoroughly good cleanse. Bye bye bird muck and unwanted weeds, hello good-as-new patio and revived flowerbeds. Dedicated (mentally and physically) a half or full day to getting everything back to a clean slate; get your ultimate DIY gear on and commit to getting a little messy, it’ll be worth it in the long run.

TEND TO YOUR GREENERY

Take stock of all your foliage. Is there anything brown that was once green? Are there any flowerbeds

Once your canvas is ready, think about what kind of tone you want to set. Are you thinking cool and sophisticated or more fun and relaxed? It’s good to establish this early-ish as it will make shopping/sourcing new furniture and accessories a hell of a lot easier, with a general theme in mind.

SET THE TABLE

Depending on your theme, setting the table could be as elaborate or as relaxed as you’d like. If your heading up a sophisticated look, consider a tablecloth or runner, with individual silverware and glasses—treat laying with the same attention to detail as you would for an indoor soirée. For a more relaxed feel, ditch the finery and maybe go for mason jars filled with cutlery, an artful stack of napkins and a drinks station, to encourage guests to navigate the event for themselves. In any case, smart or casual, make the table an exciting place to be, with gorgeous floral arrangements, candles and cute displays.

OUTDOOR LIVING

SPEAKING OF FLORAL ARRANGEMENTS

Flowers add a special level of detail to any affair, and your options are endless. You might decide to stick solely to greenery, in which case a table length of low-level arrangements all in rustic, mismatching pots—very contemporary chic. Or you might prefer loud, bright bouquets full of tropical flowers and leaves. Take a little look around Pinterest, for some flower arranging inspiration, and if all else fails call in a pro.

CREATE A DRINKS CART

With a good scrub, a wild imagination and plenty of ice, you can turn pretty much any vessel into a cocktail cart. Take a wheelbarrow for example. Clean it down, fill it to the brim with ice and get your booze on chill for when your guests arrive. You could even turn it into a cocktail cart, with spirits, and tubs of the various garnishes on hand; maybe even a little how-to sign/small guide tied to the handle? The sky is the limit!

PLAY SOME LAWN GAMES

Lawn games go back centuries, and they’re a great example of good old-fashioned fun. More recently, they’ve become more popular with high-street retailers, with more and more stores stocking them in time for summer. If you can get your hands on a set (or create your own) it’s well worth investing in it. Save them for generations to come. They came back once, they’ll come back again.

SET UP A PHOTO BOOTH

The ultimate host doesn’t just consider the setting, they also consider the entertainment and a photo booth is a simple way to have a lot of fun! Hang, peg or drape a sheet somewhere it can hang high and straight as a backdrop. Then collect your props. Fill a crate/box with hats, glasses, and little bits of costume that people can throw on and off easily. If you want to go the full hog then set up a camera, but most people will be happy taking pictures on their smartphones.

LAST, BUT NOT LEAST: LIGHTING

A good summer party starts in the afternoon and carries on into the evening, which is where lighting can really make or break the mood. You don’t want anything too bright—your guests don’t want to be like the little deer in the headlights—so some simple fairy lights and candles will do the trick nicely. If you plan on having several garden parties, you might even want to put some money into getting some more permanent outdoor lighting, such as mood-enhancing LEDs, installed.

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

VAUXHALL CORSA UPDATE

126

Vauxhall has updated its top-selling Corsa range, with highlights including new Euro 6.2 compliant engines, new trims and integrated sat nav as standard on upper-level models. The new Corsa range is available in seven different trim levels, with prices starting from £11,250 for the entry-level Active model. Customers can also choose from Design, Energy, Sport, SRi Nav, SE Nav and SRi VX Nav Black models. Available in three or five door variants, the range introduces the new 1.4-litre Euro 6.2 compliant petrol engines. Paired with either a five or six speed manual, or automatic transmission, the new engines can achieve up to 50.4 mpg and CO2 emissions as low as 128g/km. The new Corsa range also now has more tech as standard on selected trims. The refreshed Corsa introduces air conditioning as standard starting from the Design trim, and Navi 4.0 IntelliLink touchscreen navigation and infotainment system on all models from the SRi Nav trim. Vauxhall has also introduced the new Lux pack, available for customers choosing the SE Nav trim. For an additional £1,550, customers can add extras including 17-inch diamond cut alloy wheels, rear view camera, tinted rear windows, and single-zone climate control.

ROAD TEST: HYUNDAI IONIQ HYBRID The hybrid market is expanding rapidly and one of the latest contenders is the Ioniq from Hyundai, available in three forms hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and all-electric, writes NICK FLETCHER. The hybrid uses a petrol engine combined with an electric motor, while the plug-in hybrid version has a bigger battery for greater range and you can charge it externally. The allelectric version is self-explanatory. All three have minimal emissions, good fuel economy and low company car tax. Prices start at £21,240, and my test model was the standard hybrid but with higher-spec Premium trim and priced at £25,450. It has a 1.6 litre petrol engine and electric motor giving 140 hp, and with a standard 6-speed automatic gearbox. Top speed is115 mph, the 0-60 mph time 11.1 seconds. Fuel economy is an impressive 70.6 mpg combined, emissions just 92 g/km. The exterior design is sleek and elegant, the cabin roomy and comfortable. The dashboard is routine in layout, driving position good with excellent forward visibility. Boot

capacity of 443 litres is best in class and rear seats fold to boost the space. Moving off, the Ioniq is smooth and silent on electric power and even when the petrol unit kicks it, it is still a quiet and refined drive. The steering has a light feel, braking is smooth and the car well-balanced and composed on the corners, with overall ride quality a tad on the firm side. Incidentally, the parking brake is foot-operated! Standard kit on all three versions includes alloy wheels, rear parking sensors, Bluetooth, DAB radio, climate control, automatic emergency braking, and hill start assist. My Premium SE test model added keyless start and a larger 8-inch main touchscreen with sat-nav and smartphone mirroring. You also get xenon headlights, heated leather seats, front parking sensors and extra safety features. The Ioniq has a lot to offer and is keenly priced against rival models, though you do need to carefully assess which of the three versions would best suit your needs.

NEW ASTON MARTIN DBS SUPERLEGGERA Aston Martin has created a new DBS Superleggera model which features carbon-fibre body panels and is powered by a 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12 engine which Aston Martin says is “tuned to produce tremendous power and immense torque for breath-taking response and extraordinary in-gear performance.” Priced from £225,00, the new model has 712 hp under the bonnet, delivers a top speed of 211 mph and has a blistering 0-60mph of just 3.4 seconds. DBS Superleggera has new rear-mounted ZF eightspeed automatic transmission, a mechanical limited-slip differential, and torque vectoring for precise, predictable handling. Both the powertrain and chassis have a choice of three dynamic modes – GT, Sport and Sport Plus. Standard equipment includes keyless entry, tyre pressure monitoring system and a 360-degree camera with Parking Distance Display and Park Assist. The audio system has DAB plus Bluetooth audio and phone streaming, iPod, iPhone and

USB playback. There is also an integrated satellite navigation system and wi-fi hub. All the in-car infotainment systems use a central LCD screen, controlled via a central dial. DBS Superleggera features a high level of craftsmanship with extensive scope for personalisation via a a wide choice of options.

ADUDI A4 REVISIONS

ROAD TEST: SUZUKI IGNIS Key sales factors in the SUV sector are model practicality and style and image, so you have to give Suzuki great credit for coming up with a small and more radically designed SUV which really stands out, writes NICK FLETCHER. The new Ignis is the size of a small city car but its high-up stance, flared arches and funky looks earn it top marks for visual charisma. It is also amazing roomy inside, seating four adults with ease. With prices starting at just £9,995 it is no surprise it has made an immediate impact. There is only one engine, a 1.2 litre 89 hp petrol, but it is also available with the option of a more economical mild-hybrid system, and there is also a four-wheel-drive option for those needing more grip. The engine gives a 0-60 mph time of 11.5 seconds and top speed of 103 mph. Fuel economy is very good at 60.1 mpg combined and emissions quite low at 106 g/km. Three trim levels are available and my test model was a top-spec SZ5 with AllGrip four-wheel-drive and the hybrid system and priced at £15,499.

Standard kit is generous and includes a 7-inch colour touchscreen, sat-nav, Bluetooth, DAB radio, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone mirroring. You also get four powered windows, roof rails, alloy wheels, air-con, auto lights, rear parking camera, cruise control with speed-limiter and hill-hold and hill-descent controls. On the move, Ignis is nimble thanks to its low-down weight and short wheelbase and is fun to drive. The engine is more quiet than most in the small-car sector, the 5-speed gearbox slick and the suspension set-up gives decent ride quality. The two-tone cabin looks attractive, and is well laid out. Trim materials are not top grade but do look durable. The 260-litre boot is bigger than in most city cars and the splitfold rear seats also slide back and forth so passenger and load space can be varied and with the seats down, loadspace is increased to a surprising 1,086 litres. Ignis is a nicely-created package aimed at those who want a lot for their money and a stand-out image.

Audi has revised is A4 saloon and Avant estate models, giving a sharper new look and upgraded equipment.First deliveries will be towards the end of this year, with prices to be announced later in the summer when orders open. Externally, the more purposeful look of the SE and Sport versions embraces revised front and rear bumper design and more pronounced side skirts. Equipment enhancements include SE versions gaining MMI navigation (SD cardbased), a seven-inch colour Driver’s Information System to replace the original fiveinch monochrome version, an upgraded multi-function steering wheel controlling a wider range of functions and auto-folding door mirrors. Additions to the Sport specification include four-way lumbar adjustment for the driver and front passenger seats and auto-folding door mirrors. The latter are also now included for S line and Black Edition models, as is the high beam assist function for automatic toggling between dipped and high headlight beams as required.

PORSCHE LE MANS CLASSIC CLUBSPORT Porsche specialist Paul Stephens has introduced a limited Le Mans Classic Clubsport edition, priced at around £250,000 depending on final specification. Paul Stephens starts with an original 911 body tub, which is then restored ahead of conversion into its Clubsport model. Rebuilt to as-new condition, it has a lightweight deseamed roof panel, composite bumpers and engine cover, aluminium bonnet, and other lightweight features including aerodynamically-designed lightweight external mirrors. Available in Touring specification, or a rawer Lightweight version, just ten of these hand-finished and numbered examples will be available. Powered by a 300 hp, 3.4 litre air-cooled flat six, the car “offers a scintillating power to weight ratio” and sprints from 0-60 mph in 4.4 seconds, with top speed of 175 mph. The stylish and supportive full leather ST-style touring seats are trimmed in black leather with unique Le Mans Classic houndstooth inserts in green, black and white. Each car also has a specially commissioned Le Mans Classic luggage set.

THE WHEEL SPECIALIST Repair, Refurbishment & Customisation Choosing the right set of wheels is essential to the full enjoyment, use and safety of driving your car. Every car is unique and has a different set of needs, which is why sometimes you need an expert to guide you in the process of choosing – or indeed customising – the best ones. The Wheel Specialist is the UK’s leading alloy wheel repair, refurbishment and customisation specialist, providing a professional service that transforms the look of any car. They offer outstanding customer service, guaranteed quality finishes and durability, with a same day service, at a fraction of the cost of replacement wheels. Their Bournemouth branch is a family run business that serves the whole of Dorset, with the backing of a huge national franchise behind it.

look tired and dull, generally caused by a combination of in-grained disc brake dust, road grime, salt and chipped rims from curbing. No matter much you try to clean them, they never seem to regain that freshout-the-showroom look. Well, the good news is that there is a place where you can bring your alloys back to life without it costing you an arm and a leg. At The Wheel Specialist you can customise your alloys’ colour to match the finish or colour of your vehicle and fit chrome valve caps.

REPAIR You don’t have to be a petrol head to love your motor’s alloys. You’ll remember the day you collected your gleaming new car from the dealer with its sparkling paintwork and the pristine alloy wheels. Then in no time at all those cherished alloys begin to

REFURBISHMENT The Wheel Specialist has been in business since 1955, and has been providing alloy wheel refurbishment for over 35 years. Having built an enviable reputation for their care, quality and rapid turnaround times, and now with nationwide coverage, their services are second to none.

THE PROCESS

128

The wheels are chemically stripped, to remove previous layers of lacquer and paint. Wheels are hand sanded to obtain a smooth metal surface in preparation for coating.

MOTORING

BEFORE

AFTER

The wheels are then prepared, dressed and filled to deal with any damage to the rim edges and the face. (Note: they do not deal with buckled or badly dented wheels as these are safety related structural repairs and wheels should be written off and replaced). Next the wheels are gently heat treated to remove any air from the alloy and a first stage powder coat finish is applied and then cured for a set time period. After this, if the wheel is having a “special” or “bespoke” finish, the wet-in-wet procedure takes place (e.g. special paint and clearcoat finish). The wheels are then automatically subjected to a further

thermal treatment. The lacquer coat is not only applied to enhance the finish, but to also protect the alloy wheel against environmental influences (UV radiation, salt, moisture, dirt, etc.) at all points.

TRAVEL

MARVEL & MYSTERY IN INDONESIA’S ISLANDS Indonesia feels like a land designed for adventure, as Ed Elliot discovers. “Quick, look in the trees - just above the bank,” whispers our jovial, middleaged guide, Ameer, animatedly.

in excess of 3,000 miles from east to west along the equator. It is made up of more than 17,500 islands and a bit of hopping about is necessary to experience the best it has to offer.

The deep growl of the boat’s engine is instantly killed as he directs my eyes to the edge of the narrow, murky river. I follow his outstretched arm until my gaze fixes on a female orangutan with the early-morning sun shining brightly on her craggy, brown face.

Cheap internal flights costing as little as £20 mean it is easy to do so, providing opportunities to the see the weird and wonderful creatures of this country’s diverse ecosystems.

We’re a few hours into a journey through the jungle of Tanjung Puting National Park in Indonesian Borneo, chugging through the crocodileinfested Sekonyer river on a traditional two-tiered, wooden boat known as a klotok. Our initial excitement increases when the big, dark eyes of a tiny, one-yearold infant peep out from behind its mother’s back. Our looks of awe and amazement are returned with a mix of bemusement and indifference before the larger of the two apes releases the long leaf it has been feasting on and nonchalantly retreats back into the thick foliage with an effortless swing. Indonesia is the largest archipelagic nation on the planet and stretches

Almost every region contains different habitats and animals, making it an ideal destination for an adventurous trip in search of wildlife. Borneo - divided between Malaysia, Brunei and Indonesian Kalimantan and the nearby island of Sumatra are the only two places in the world to encounter wild orangutans. The critically-endangered arboreal creatures, which share around 97% of their DNA with humans, lead solitary lifestyles and, according to our hosts, move nests every few days, which makes them more difficult to spot. There are reportedly just over 100,000 orangutans living in Borneo, with around 6,000 found in this part of the national park, including ones formerly held in captivity.

A couple of feeding stations located a little further upstream provide prime places to see some of the rehabilitated animals up close. As daylight fades, our attention switches to spotting another mammal endemic to this part of the world. Known locally as the bekantan, the reddish-brown proboscis monkey - a species also at risk of extinction - is characterised by an unflatteringly long nose, which can grow to more than 10 centimetres. We catch glimpses of small troops gathering at sleeping sites high in the canopy, before the light relents and we are left with a clear, starry sky disturbed only by the effervescent glow of fireflies along the river’s edge.

TRAVEL

Spending the afternoon in close proximity to the world’s largest lizard is our main goal, but there are plenty of enjoyable distractions to break up the boat journey. A 40-minute hike to the top of the western peak of rugged Padar is hard work in the baking heat, but the views more than justify the exertion. A narrow stretch of volcanic earth holds the place together, while hilly terrain branches off in different directions amid the turquoise sea which laps at numerous pristine coves and inlets. One of the beaches has a pink appearance due to the mix of red coral and white sand, and it offers an excellent opportunity for a snorkelling expedition to explore hidden treasures lurking beneath the sea’s surface. The presence of manta rays, turtles, whales, dolphins and dugongs makes it an enticing area for divers, and there are also more than 1,000 species of tropical fish and occasional sightings of whale sharks. After slipping into a mask, snorkel and flippers, it doesn’t take long before I’m surrounded by marine life emerging from the reef. I spot the black, white and yellow bands of Moorish idols, follow the energetic darts of a bright blue damsel fish and catch sight of a couple of orange and white clown fish.

Leaving behind Pangkalan Bun in Borneo, we travel to the island of Flores, situated almost in the centre of the archipelago. The journey - via the Javan city of Surabaya and Denpasar in Bali requires three short flights, totalling fewer than four hours. We arrive in Labuan Bajo, a fishing town on the western tip of Flores, which is renowned for its sunsets and, more importantly, serves as the gateway to the Komodo dragons of Komodo National Park. Comprising 29 islands, this conservation area is spread across the tempestuous Flores Sea. Komodo and Rinca, which have a combined human population of around 4,000, are the major ones, along with uninhabited Padar. RIGHT: Padar island (Photo credit: PA Photo/ thinkstockphotos)

TRAVEL

Following an hour spent face down in the warm waters, we are soon back on dry land ready to continue our primary quest. There are more than 2,000 dragons on Komodo island. These fearsome, carnivorous cannibals dominate, preying on much larger animals, such as water buffalo and deer, along with wild boar and goats. Despite being able to run reasonably fast in short bursts, their main hunting technique is to hide in long grass and ambush anything which ventures too near, biting with razor-sharp teeth and infecting with bacteria-filled saliva. Visitors, understandably, must be accompanied by a guide and, as we follow a series of trails, ours quickly leads us to a couple of dragons lounging by a watering hole. They appear languid, but I’m told this is a way to regulate body temperature, rather than idleness. “There’s another one behind you,” smiles the guide with a nod in my direction. I turn to see the clay-coloured scaly skin of a three-foot dragon patrolling its patch, a forked tongue darting in and out of its mouth. It’s another unforgettable wildlife encounter, which unfortunately ends too soon, although I have time to reflect on it that evening.

Back on Flores, I tuck into fresh crab coated in spicy Padang sauce while watching the setting sun turn the sky various shades of red and orange above the silvery sea. As I pick out the dark silhouettes of fishing boats dotted in the bay, I wonder what other great mysteries Indonesia might hold.

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

WHAT IS HIGH INTENSITY FOCUSED ULTRASOUND (HIFU)? HIFU is a remarkable breakthrough in technology, offering a noninvasive alternative to a surgical facelift. For many, this is a MUST have treatment option, and the ONLY FDA approved treatment with a specific intent for improving lines and wrinkles on the face and décolleté, penetrating to depths previously only possible with surgery. Using the power of Ultrasound HIFU safely lifts and tightens the skin. Ultrasound is a form of energy that is significantly different to others, such as light (used in IPL), or indeed laser or electrical (i.e. radio frequency) energy. Unlike other energy waves, HIFU protects the skin surface, whilst precisely penetrating deep into the sub-layers of skin, treating beyond the dermis and foundation layers, where structural weakening starts. It’s because of this accuracy that the surface skin remains undamaged, so you needn’t worry about any extreme red faces or recovery time. Tissue at the target point is heated to 65°C, thermal heat is created with the skin tissue creating both spaced ‘wounds’ and cellular friction— which in turn promotes healing, immediately contracts collagen and stimulates a rapid production of new cells. Over the next 90-180 days, the wound-healing response stimulates long-term tissue and leads to further lifting and tightening, with results that can last years.

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.

THIS IS WHAT YOU SHOULD EAT AFTER DIFFERENT TYPES OF EXERCISE Refuel like a pro to really get the most from your workout Congratulations! You’ve made it through your workout. But the job isn’t done just yet - because if you really want to get the most out of your exercise, you need to put some thought into what you eat afterwards. And according to Anna-Jane Debenham and Alex Parker, dietitians from nutrition consulting business The Biting Truth, it’s not just about protein.

138

Failing to refuel or rehydrate after exercise can result in a host of problems, including earlier onset of fatigue, reduced speed and endurance, poor concentration and gut upset, Anna and Alex warn. Not to mention the fact you might not be getting the full benefits of all that effort! Here, they explain why post-exercise nutrition is so important...

DON’T JUST WAIT UNTIL YOUR NEXT MEAL TO EAT

the first few hours of completing your workout.” Essentially, this means there’s a 60-90 minute “window of opportunity” after your training session, where you have a chance to replenish the stores of carbohydrates in the liver and muscle cells, as well as encourage muscle repair.

WHAT TO EAT AFTER... CARDIO

Although important, particularly for muscle repair, “having protein on its own, although it may seem ‘trendy’, isn’t ideal in a lot of cases”.

Restricting calories after a workout can be counterproductive, and after the extra strain you’ve put on your body, nutrition is even more crucial.

Running, dancing, boxing - all great cardio workouts, and they can leave you seriously pooped. “The key is replenishing carbohydrate stores,” say Anna and Alex, “and adequate hydration is essential.”

Instead, they say snacks containing both carbohydrate and protein will “allow your body to recover and repair effectively”. And don’t forget to replace all those lost fluids (hey, we all get sweaty!) with extra water.

Anna and Alex explain: “During exercise (especially resistance training), the body shifts towards a catabolic state (muscle breakdown) which then transitions back to an anabolic state (muscle building) within

They recommend a slice of wholegrain bread with peanut butter and banana: “This snack provides high-quality carbs, protein and heart-healthy fats, and is full of potassium which helps soothe muscles.”

HEALTH & BEAUTY

Other snacks you could reach for after a cardio workout include a plain banana, some nuts, or some wholegrain toast with either ricotta and fruit, or cottage cheese and tomato.

WHAT TO EAT AFTER... STRENGTH TRAINING If you’re lifting weights and your goal is to gain muscle, Anna and Alex say: “An energy-rich diet with adequate amounts of protein is just as important as your well-developed strength-training programme.” So, after strength training, your food intake should be low in fat and high in nutrients. “Consuming carbohydrates in conjunction with protein allows the protein to be used for muscle growth and repair,” they explain. They recommend smoothies as a great option for fitting in a lot of nutrients in one go - you can just blend up your ingredients (such as berries, low-fat yogurt and/or oats) and you’re sorted.

HIIT (high-intensity interval training) is all the rage, hailed as a speedy way to burn more fat and build more muscle compared to traditional workouts. And putting your body well and truly through its paces (no one ever said HIIT was easy) means refuelling well is crucial.

“Aside from their protein content, eggs are high in leucine, which triggers muscle protein synthesis,” they explain. “The vitamin C in the capsicums [peppers] is essential for maintaining the healthy cartilage you need to cushion your bones. Research suggests bromelain (an enzyme in pineapple) may help reduce exerciseinduced inflammation.”

Anna and Alex suggest an onion and pepper omelette plus some fruit, and their top tip is to include pineapple.

WHAT TO EAT AFTER... STRETCHING AND TONINGBASED EXERCISE

WHAT TO EAT AFTER... HIIT

What you decide to eat after classes like yoga, Pilates or barre depends on what your fitness goal is: whether you want to lose weight, boost your core strength, or increase your overall muscle mass. “If your goal is weight loss, then a nutrient rich meal within 60 minutes of your workout is essential, as the meal will be more efficiently digested,” say Anna and Alex. “If your goal is to improve strength, then protein is key.” They suggest two hard-boiled eggs with multigrain toast, or something like a slice of roast vegetable and feta frittata would be ideal. To help repair tired muscles and replenish energy stores after yoga, Anna and Alex say: “Your body needs a hit of protein, some lowGI carbohydrates and fruits or vegetables.” Try a small tub of Greek yogurt with a couple of spoonfuls of muesli containing nuts and fruit, or a small can of tuna, four-bean mix and some chopped veggies.

HEALTH & BEAUTY

AND RELAX… A common phrase we use but are we actually fully relaxing and unwinding? With day to day living becoming increasingly fast paced how good are we are totally shutting off and letting our body and mind recover? So how do you relax? Watch a movie, read a book, my favourite is pounding the pavements on a good run – which may clear my mind but certainly doesn’t give my body time to switch off. Of course, these activities will leave you feeling more rested, but have they really relaxed you? The answer is “no”— at least not effectively. That’s because relaxation should be both muscular and mental. The kind of deep relaxation recommended by health professionals is essential for your body to recover from the damaging effects of stress— and let’s face it: our modern lives are increasingly stressful. Relaxation is a mentally active process that leaves your body and your mind focused, calm, refreshed and, of course, relaxed. SO HOW DOES STRESS EFFECT OUR BODY ON A DAILY BASIS? Your body releases stress hormones (cortisol and adrenalin). If this is a rare event, it is not harmful at all. But think of a typical day when you’re constantly on the go and juggling competing priorities. How much of the time do you spend being “stressed out” or “wired”? Now, think of your poor body pumping stress hormones and nervous energy into tissues and organs, overworking them and wearing you down. Many of the common ailments that affect our quality of life, such as constant headaches, digestive problems, sleep difficulties and muscle aches, can be linked to this constant state of heightened stress.

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

much adrenalin and cortisol can also have a harmful impact on your brain. That’s why you need to make time in your schedule to unwind, do nothing and yes—simply relax. The physiological changes that occur during relaxation are just the opposite to what happens when we are stressed. A comparison between stress and relaxation measured by EEG shows that our heart rate, muscle tone, blood pressure, sweating and hormone secretion increase during stress and decrease during relaxation. A lack of relaxation leads to multiple emotional and stress-related illnesses. Panic disorder, generalised anxiety disorder and depression are rampant. Stress depletes the body of endorphins and can lead to insomnia, and fatigue contributes to mood and relationship disorders. Anxiety and mood disorders don’t just make you feel bad, they are harmful for your health. For example, people who suffer from panic disorder are twice as likely as the general public to suffer from potentially fatal coronary artery disease.

Our bodies are simply not designed to function in a permanent state of ‘fight or flight’.

Seemingly unrelated illnesses may arise or worsen when you cannot relax. Migraine headaches, heart attacks, stroke, COPD, and irritable bowel syndrome are all negatively impacted by stress.

Long-term stress can cause high blood glucose levels, which in turn put you at risk of heart and kidney disease. And scientific evidence shows that too

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU RELAX? • Your heart rate slows down • Your breathing becomes slower and deeper

• Your blood pressure stabilises • Your muscles relax

HOW CAN RELAXATION BENEFIT YOUR HEALTH? • Reduces your stress levels • Boosts your immune system • Has an immediate effect on your energy levels and productivity It makes sense to take relaxation seriously, doesn’t it? Relaxation is an important aspect of self-care. It’s actually essential for your wellbeing, both physical and mental. HOW TO RELAX Now that you understand how important relaxation is to your health, you’ll find there are many techniques to help you relax. Many herbal supplements and medical relaxing aids are available over the counter. These can induce a calming effect and are said to help us cope with stress. But as with any medicine, long term use may lead to dependence or side effects. Check with your doctor before taking any new supplements. Likewise, there is no shortage of therapies and treatments that promote relaxation, a good massage can allow you to unwind and refocus. There are plenty of techniques you can try without even leaving home. Some are more intense than others. Yoga relaxation for instance is one of the more focused forms of rest. If you only have 5 minutes or less, here are my top 5 tips for quick relaxation:

1. Practice breathing exercises. Inhale slowly and deeply. Then exhale slowly. 2. Listen to soothing music. 3. Do mental exercises such as visualisations. Envision yourself in a peaceful, calm place. 4. Meditate. Simply close your eyes and clear your mind of mental clutter. Focus on a positive mantra, or the flow of your breathing. 5. Go for a walk, somewhere quiet or not busy. It will help to clear your mind. Relaxation takes practice. Make time to relax as often as you can. Don’t wait for your next holiday or the odd weekend. Slow down and give yourself time to relax and rest deeply—your body and soul will thank you. RELAX AND LIVE WELL As you can see, if you do not take time out for relaxing, your health may be impaired. Fortunately the decision to make sure you stay well and get relaxation time is entirely yours. While watching a favourite television program or reading a book can be enjoyable, take time to relax by doing “nothing.” Doing nothing for a few minutes each day allows you time to notice how you feel physically , mentally and spiritually.

There are many running events taking place during the weekend of 6 – 7 October including a full marathon, supersonic 10k, supernova 5k and junior runs from 1k to 5k. No matter your fitness level or age, the Bournemouth Marathon Festival provides a fantastic opportunity for everyone to get involved and raise money in aid of Diverse Abilities. For those who want to travel further afield and join 20,000 runners, The Great South Run offers a flat 10-mile route in Portsmouth on 21 October. Enjoy exclusive access through the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, home to HMS Victory and the Mary Rose Museum. For further information about the Bournemouth Marathon Festival and Great South Run, plus how to sign up with a Diverse Abilities charity place, please visit www. diverseabilities.org.uk/runwithus. By taking part in a running event for Diverse Abilities, your fundraising could achieve the daily cost to run the advice service to provide guidance and support, specialist toys for children with disabilities to play with, a day’s vital medical supplies for the children at the charity’s specialist school and much more.

THE SLIMMING ROOMS The Best Kept Secret in Fat Loss

Who among us wouldn’t love to just wave a magic wand and POOF away any unwanted fat (Me! Pick me!)? It turns out, that fairy tale fantasy may not be as unrealistic as it sounds. Introducing: Slimming Rooms. Well, not with a wand as such, but rather with his specialist Lipofirm machine, Terry Gale (our proverbial fairy godmother) has the power to quite literally shrink the fat in your body in as little as 20 minutes. “It can’t be!” I hear you say. Well, I didn’t quite believe it either. So, in an effort to provide you with some genuinely helpful research, we decided to pay him a visit in his Ashley Cross weight-loss clinic. SO, HOW DOES IT WORK? Much like you are probably feeling now, we were sceptical. So we wanted to know exactly how it worked. Terry explained, “Ultrasound waves are targeted over the parts of your body that you want to reduce in size. They form bubbles in the tissue where the fat cells are, which expand and then immediately compress. This makes the bubbles implode and the fat cells are damaged as a result. The damaged part of the fat cells is then taken away by your body’s own waste removal system—meaning you can lose inches in as little as a single session.”

THE PROCESS One of the reasons why this treatment is so incredible is because it requires little-no effort on your part. Just lie back and let any unwanted fat fall off—quite literally, on the inside. The Lipofirm (which is covered in a gel much like and ultrasound attachment) device is rubbed over your area of concern, for approximately 20 minutes, which is almost painless, bar some mild heat (and sensitivity to ticklishness) in places. After that, you’re encouraged to drink plenty of water, so that the toxins can be flushed out through your system. You can see AMAZING RESULTS from a single session. For me, I’ve lost 1¾ inch off of the circumference off my stomach,

each time I’ve visited. That’s not to say I’ve been eating cheeseburgers between sessions, as I have maintained a healthy diet, but those are results that would otherwise take me months of slog at the gym to obtain—and in as little as 20 minutes! Winning. The best, long terms results are obtained through multiple treatments and luckily The Slimming Rooms AND NOW, IT’S TIME FOR YOU TO TRY IT FOR YOURSELF… Between Monday 20th August and Friday 31st August The Slimming Rooms are offering a FREE 20 MINUTE SESSION*, for you and your friends to try. No gimmicks, we simply want to get the word out about this amazing

How we look on the outside can have a big impact on how we feel on the inside. We believe that you should feel good about yourself all the time. That’s why we’re on a mission to help people who aren’t entirely happy with their weight or appearance. — TERRY GAYLE, OWNER, OPERATOR, THE SLIMMING ROOMS

treatment, and this is the best way for us to do it. Simply bring yourself and 3-8 of your friends/family to come and try our revolutionary, non-invasive fat loss treatment, at our clinic in Parkstone. Kind of like a Tupperware party for your health and wellbeing. With your help, we’d like to get the word out, so please accept this treatment as our way of advanced thank you.

BWT Centre, 1 Springfield Road, Ashley Cross, Poole BH14 0NN Here is what a couple of our clients had to say about the Lipofirm fat-loss treatment: “With the help of The Slimming Rooms, I have lost 6 inches of fat from my stomach and tightened the skin, in just 4 weeks, making me feel amazing!” —Jason, 42, Bournemouth “Massive thank you to the Slimming room and Terry for such a fantastic service. So far I have lost an amazing 10-12 inches in size loss on my stomach and the same amount on my thighs.” —Megan, 31, Poole By Charlotte Williams

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:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
