UNITED’S CHARITABLE DONATION Dorset’s largest taxi fleet, United is supporting the Bournemouth Mayor’s charities. Over the years the drivers have supported various worthy local causes and this year they are contributing towards the charities that Mayor, Councillor Dr Rodney Cooper has chosen, two of these being Wessex Cancer Trust and Diverse Abilities Plus are particularly close to the cabbies hearts for various personal reasons. Derek Heritage, Marketing Director for United said: “We work very closely with Bournemouth Borough Council and it seemed only

right to add our bit to the pot, we advertise various local businesses on our cabs and are now donating 10% of the net worth of the advertising to these selected charities and our drivers are only too happy to offer this.” United also run a campaign alongside Bournemouth University known as SSHH (Silent Students, Happy Homes) and it goes without saying that come September this will once again come into effect. Above all it’s about caring for the local community and this is the mantra of this popular taxi firm – work with the

people and show concern for the local residents, this way everyone is happy and BU really want to uphold this by working with a reliable and considerate taxi firm.

Poole-based J M Watts Commercial Property has recently completed a deal to acquire the freehold of the former Methodist Church in Westbourne, Bournemouth on behalf of Swift Investments in London. The eighteenth century building is currently occupied by national giant Tesco and Rock Restaurant, who converted the first floor retaining much of the building’s unique features. “It was a complex deal to get over the line and we are very pleased to have secured a good, long-term investment for our client in a superb building and location. Beyond the obvious attraction of a multinational tenant like Tesco, our client was impressed with Rock Restaurant as well as their brand overall.” commented Jason Watts. This deal comes off the back of J M Watts witnessing an upturn in the investment market recently and an increase in enquiries from London-based investment companies looking to acquire property on the south coast. For further information, please contact J M Watts on 01202 461586.

NEW AUCTION METHOD OFF TO A FLYING START George Lawrence, Sales Manager of Chiswell & Co in Bournemouth Town Centre is pleased to announce the recent success of their modern method auction in partnership with IAM Sold Ltd. Having just agreed a sale on a two bed apartment in the town centre, he comments: “This is the first time we have used the modern method auction to find a buyer, but it has great benefits for both seller and buyer alike. For motivated vendors who are keen to find a buyer and complete in a quick timescale, the pricing strategy sees increased levels of interest. Once the auction is finished a buyer shows secure commitment to the property, not only by putting down a reservation fee but by agreeing

to exchange contracts within 28 days. What’s more, there is the option to pay NO SALES COMMISSION, with just a cost of preparing an Auction Pack.” As a buyer you get the same security of not being gazumped once the auction has ended. “Although this is not a very common method of selling in the local area at present, it has seen great success in other parts of the country, and is now an added tool to our marketing services”. If you have a property that you feel could benefit from being sold by modern method auction, or for more information, please contact George on 01202 265030 or visit www.chiswellandcoauctions.com

BOOKCASE

THE BOOKCASE A look at the latest book releases, unwrapped, laid bare and reviewed.

HARVEST BY JIM CRACE

8/10

Harvest is published in hardback by Picador, priced £16.99 (ebook £7.26). Available now.

Her well-drawn central characters explore the mechanics of loneliness and despair...

The title Harvest does little to convey the myriad of concepts at the core of this compelling tale. Change, progress, acceptance - they’re all here, woven skilfully by award-winning writer Jim Crace into a timeless story that everyone can relate to. In this, we’re taken through a week-long journey of life in an unnamed English village set sometime in the medieval age, told through the eyes of widower Walter Thirsk. After harvesting season ends, a group of strangers arrive, and the suspicion they provoke in the villagers eventually leads into a series of events that change the inhabitants’ lives forever. Thought-provoking and poetically written with a profound attention to detail, Crace creates an intriguing moral fable that will stay with you long after you’ve finished the last page. It’s certainly another enchanting novel to add to his growing catalogue of best-sellers. Review by Mary Ann Pickford

7/10 HUMAN REMAINS BY ELIZABETH HAYNES Human Remains is published in paperback by Myriad, priced £7.99 (ebook £6.07). Available now. How well do you know your neighbours? Would you notice if you didn’t see them for a while - or be unaware that anything was amiss until a bad smell began to linger? Those are the questions that this pacy new thriller, in which a policewoman discovers that dozens of people aren’t found until months after death, aims to answer. Is there something sinister going on? In this - her third thriller in as many years - Elizabeth Haynes plays with society’s mistrust of the loner. Her well-drawn central characters explore the mechanics of loneliness and despair, while the action - and there’s enough of that - taps into the deep-seated fear of dying alone. From the gruesome opening gambit to the thrilling denouement, this might not be one for the fainthearted (or lonely), but it’s very hard to leave it alone.

THE LIBRARY OF UNREQUITED LOVE BY SOPHIE DIVRY

Review by Sarah Warwick

4/10

The Library of Unrequited Love is published in hardback by MacLehose Press, priced £10 (ebook £6.33) Available now. Sophie Divry's first novel is a conversation between a librarian and a reader who she finds has been locked inside the library overnight - except only the librarian's dialogue is recorded. The librarian loves her job but is bitter that she is running the geography section in the basement rather than the exciting history shelves. She explains the Dewey system to her customer in detail and laments that regular library user Martin fails to respond to the fact she loves him - despite only having spoken to him once. At 92 pages, this is easy to read. But it's also easy to put down, as the librarian's ramblings are annoying and her bizarre ideas are distracting rather than thought-provoking. This really could have worked but, unfortunately, it doesn’t. Review by Caroline Davison

7/10 CHILDREN’S BOOK OF THE WEEK: INFINITE SKY BY CJ FLOOD Infinite Sky by CJ Flood is published in hardback by Simon & Schuster, priced £9.99 (ebook £5.99). Available now. Infinite Sky is a poignant coming-of-age debut from writer CJ Flood. It tells the story of 13-year-old Iris’s summer after her mother leaves home and gypsies set up camp behind her house. The book starts with a funeral, leaving the reader guessing whether it will be her new gypsy boyfriend or tearaway brother in the coffin. When the book comes full circle at the end, only the stoniest of hearts won’t feel the pain experienced by the young protagonist. Aimed at a young adult audience, Infinite Sky is gripping but realistic. It goes much further than your typical teen love story, unravelling the complexity of real-life romances, as opposed to the sugar-coated fantasy we have become accustomed to. The book has already received glowing reviews, and it’s not hard to see why. Infinite Sky flows nicely from page to page and is an easy, heart-felt, engaging read for teenage or twenty-something readers. Review by Nicole Gallagher

We design and LOCAL AUTHOR build your luxury furniture exclusively for you. ANDREW TOWNING ACTION-THRILLER AUTHOR

We’re introduced to the colourful bunch of misfits that constitute her newsroom colleagues and get a warts ‘n’ all glimpse of tabloid life

www.andrewtowning.co.uk enquiries@andrewtowning.co.uk

Andrew has been an author of action-thrillers since 2006. His first novel ‘The Constantine Legacy’ took two years to write and over 200 applications to various publishers before a deal was secured in America. He has since written three more novels in the Jake Dillon series, ‘Dead Men Don’t Bite’, Shroud of Concealment’ and the most recent, the eagerly awaited ‘Chimera Code’ which was published in December 2012. The ‘Chimera Code’ took Andrew on a new journey – one of self-publishing, and he watches with interest while the powers of social media, and the intrigue in Jake’s latest adventures from his ever-growing international fan-base reflect in the popularity of the new book. Andrew is based in the UK on the south coast in Dorset and those who know the area virtually ‘live’ the action scenes surrounding the stunning Poole Harbour, as they do with all the settings of Jake’s exploits around the world from Santorini to Marrakech. Andrew writes with passion, energy, soul, intellect and just enough irreverence in the face of the establishment to undeniably connect with readers off the pages of any one of his fantastic novels, most of which have recently been reprinted.

8/10 THE DIARIES OF A FLEET STREET FOX The Diaries Of A Fleet Street Fox is published in paperback by Constable, priced £8.99 (ebook £5.55). Available now. Having built up a huge following for her acerbic blog and tweets, The Fleet Street Fox has now outed herself as former Sunday Mirror reporter Susie Boniface, a tabloid hack for nearly 20 years. Her first book promises to be The Truest Tabloid Tale You’ll Ever Read but first and foremost, it’s the tale of her messy divorce from the man she calls only ‘Twatface’. The book starts with her in a cell, having been arrested for throwing a flower pot through the window of the woman her husband is cheating on her with. Each chapter is headed with the number of days since this incident, sparked when Boniface channelled all her reporter skills into exposing her wayward husband and tracking him down. We’re introduced to the colourful bunch of misfits that constitute her newsroom colleagues and get a warts ‘n’ all glimpse of tabloid life - and the trials of divorce. She’s a feisty one and is at her y funniest when using her husband’s toothbrush to clean the toilet eor acdescribing Leg tin stan Con But her endless the games, banter and general drunkenness of the newsroom. The stream of consciousness over why her husband was so mean, while at first is refreshing, can become laboured towards the end, when you’re rooting for her to move on, finally get over him and embrace singledom.

Review by Kate Whiting

PONDLIFE: A SWIMMER’S JOURNAL BY AL ALVAREZ Pondlife: A Swimmer’s Journal is published in hardback by Bloomsbury, priced £14.99 (ebook £9.44). Available now. Age is creeping up on Al Alvarez, and is bringing with it a fair few surprises which he’s finding tough, particularly his declining mobility and fitness. However, there are two things he can still do - writing, and swimming in London’s Hampstead and Highgate ponds. The premise of the book is simple: Alvarez, an established poet, novelist and essayist, documents his regular, sometimes daily, visits to the ponds, with snippets of his life on dry land. As age continues to take its toll, his al fresco dips become ever more vital. Therapeutic, they soothe his gammy ankle and aching bones, revive his sense of control over his ever-changing body, and provide crucial, albeit mini, bursts of adrenalin for a man who once got his kicks by climbing mountains. This is particularly so for the winter swims - Alvarez prefers the pond icy and crisp. Indeed, Alvarez’s subtle observations of his surroundings, the birds he shares his pond with, fellow swimmers, lifeguards and his family, and anything else that fleetingly crossesChalwyn his path, are beautiful. Estate No matter what havoc the years wreak on his body, his attention to detail, and knack for capturingOld in words the consuming Wareham Rd link between the physical and mental, are possibly at their strongest ever. Alvarez writes as an ageing athlete, an adventurous Poole, Dorset soul forced to adapt to the limitations of his octogenarian body. Pondlife is no doubt an insightful, honest account of getting BH12 4PE old, speckled with humour and affection. But his sentiments ring true on a much wider level too. As a reader a good737 four555 decades T: 01202 younger than Alvarez, his journal had me gripped, moved and yearning for a swim.

HOME IMPROVEMENTS

MAKE YOUR HOUSE A HOME we invite Emma Betsy, lead designer at Emma Jane Interiors, in Hampshire to show us how to make the most of your entrance hall & lounge.

MAKING AN ENTRANCE

First impressions last. Returning home from a long day at work or welcoming in visitors, the last thing we want is to trip over wellington boots, hang our coats up, only to have them fall straight down and then to be confronted by a bleak, cold hallway! There are simple tricks and techniques to help give you and your guests the welcome you deserve. Firstly – declutter. Let there be a flow from your front door in to your home. There are some amazing storage solutions for your shoes and coats. An old reclaimed wardrobe, painted to suit your overall theme can look amazing and keep everything neat and hidden. If there’s room, style in oversized lamps and a comfy sofa. Placing an interlined curtain

over the door will turn this unused space in to another room – where you can read or just escape for a while! Where space is an issue, adding a large mirror will make a small hall, look larger. Create a warm glow with beautiful lighting – use lamps and wall lights. Make a statement with a large light suspended from a high ceiling or low voltage lights from a low ceiling, enhanced with luxurious lamps and candles. For a big change, look at installing a tiled or wooden floor – it’ll last so much longer than carpet and is more forgiving with muddy feet! Finish your space off with love. Place your favourite images and family photos in gorgeous frames, to match the colours and style of this new fabulous entrance way.

BREATHE LIFE INTO YOUR LIVING ROOM Breathing new life in to your living room may be as simple as moving the furniture around. Seeing life from a different perspective – you’ll feel as if it’s brand new. Add to this feeling by changing up the colour scheme. You can have the perfect mix of a key soft, subtle tone and one bright accent colour – facilitated through key decorative items, a throw, a couple of cushions, a lamp. Clear space and make sure there’s room to move. Can you pare down the number of ornaments and photographs? Be ruthless! Look at ways in which you can mount television, gaming and music systems on the wall to create space and style. Could you install or buy a cupboard to house DVD players and games systems? Visit a second hand place and revamp an old unit with paint and distress it to give it the rustic, vintage look. Do you need to keep all of those magazines and newspapers? If you can’t face recycling, look at magazine holders and keep just a few. One of the simplest ways to make a big transition is to change the main colour through paint or a really innovative wallpaper print. Perhaps there’s a wall which could pay homage to your favourite colours – bright, light or whatever is right for you!

THREE STEPS TO DESIGN HEAVEN Interiors created by a designer are beyond most peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget, but Cate Burren reveals trade secrets in her new book - so you can do it yourself. She shares her tips for a dream home

Media room featured in Secrets of a Stylish Home by Cate Burren

Decoristas call it ‘room porn’ - the pure pleasure of sitting down with an interiors magazine, admiring and envying beautiful rooms created by designers.

Decoristas call it ‘room porn’ - the pure pleasure of sitting down with an interiors magazine, admiring and envying beautiful rooms created by designers

But so often we come back down to earth with a bump when we try to design our own rooms. Limited space, a tight budget and an avalanche of assorted family possessions usually prevent us from replicating those uncluttered, glamorous spaces featured in the glossy mags. Interior designer Cate Burren says it’s her mission to “take away some of the mystery of the interior design process”. She says: “I realised through running evening classes to help people interior design their own home that a step-bystep approach is relevant to every design and every home, whether a mansion or a small flat. “At the end of the day, the whole purpose of interior designing a home is to achieve the best possible surroundings for the people who live in it. We all want lovely, personal spaces to live in and by following a tried-and-tested approach it really is possible to achieve.” She’s created a dream decor blueprint in her new book, Secrets Of A Stylish Home, and enthuses that the essence of interior design is creating an environment

which reflects our personality and taste, and which is comfortable, functional and something we can take pride in. “Of course, it can be tricky because there are so many looks to choose from and seemingly endless trends, and people get overwhelmed,” adds Burren. “Often someone will look at a friend’s house which they admire and try to replicate it, but while a style might work in one home it may not in another. “It’s important to work out exactly what your own personal taste is, which will make it so much easier to identify what you like and don’t like, and help you avoid costly mistakes.” Creating a home which reflects your taste isn’t just about choosing colour schemes and furnishings; it’s about understanding how to use space and style. “Sometimes you’ll make mistakes but it’s worth persevering,” says Burren. “Our home is our cave, our nest, our retreat, our theatre. The place to which we return, in which we wake up, cry and laugh and which protects us from the rest of the world. “If we respect it, it will be a happy home in which to live. That is a great benefit to have in life.” Follow Burren’s three steps to create 59 your own ‘designer’ home...

INTERIORS

STEP ONE ~ FINDING YOUR STYLE Finding and understanding your own style will give you confidence and a clear sense of your personal design identity. “For instance, although I love retro style and am instantly drawn to mid-century modern furniture, I’ve learnt that it’s not a look that I actually like to live with,” says Burren. “So while I’ll have an odd small piece, I’d never buy a statement piece, like curtains or a sofa. Try to stay true to what you feel comfortable with - that is far more important in the long term.”

The architectural style of your home is important but it’s only one factor, so don’t let it override your own sense of style.

“Having a reaction is what counts and it will help you realise what you like,” says Burren. “The clothes you wear, or would like to wear, can be a source of inspiration. If you tend towards classic tweeds, you may like more traditional interiors. If you only ever wear neutrals, you probably won’t want a riot of colour at home. “Films are also a great source of inspiration because they often show an interior in not only surprising detail, but also in a lifestyle context. Think about your style in different ways: the way you like to dress, the car you like to drive, hotels you like to stay in or simply what in life inspires you. Slowly, a feel for your own personal look will emerge.”

DESIGNER TIP Collect pictures of rooms which appeal to you in magazines, even if there are a few elements you don’t like - just note down what they are.

STEP TWO ~ SPACE & PLAY It’s natural to want to choose colours, move furniture around or get building work under way to make a home your own, but looking at the way you use a home is the priority. “The first step is to write down what you need from your living space. This shouldn’t be a list of the rooms you have, but the way you want to live and activities you want to do at home,” says Burren. “You might want an area for friends to practise yoga, a room where children can do homework and hobbies, or even space for a two metre-long aquarium! They’re all requirements clients have wanted and I’ve incorporated in layout plans. “Obviously, if you like cooking and entertaining, an open plan kitchen-dining

area will work well. If that’s not what you enjoy, a formal dining room would be wasted and better used as a home office area.” ”A small structural change, such as removing a wall or repositioning a doorway, can make an enormous difference without breaking the bank,” she says. “If estate agents’ plans mark out rooms for set uses, I delight in taking away all previous references to the room uses and seeing if other layouts work. Very often they do, because everyone lives so differently.”

DESIGNER TIP The layout of many buildings cannot be changed without a lot of expense but don’t be too quick to limit yourself.

STEP THREE ~ CREATE THE DREAM Once you’ve got layout plans for your home and have established how you want to use your space, look at the work that needs to be done in your home, from electrical to building work. “Then you can create your scheme,” says Burren. “You must trust your own judgment, and put aside any thoughts of what other people think is stylish. This is about your own preferences. “I like to create a board of style pictures, paint colours and fabrics. I keep pictures of products and furniture that I want separate, and spend time checking out all sorts of sources to get a good price, from online sites to auctions.

“You will finally start to be able to see your look, and recognise that some elements of your scheme won’t conform to the ‘style’ you’ve identified as yours. That’s fine. I like a fairly traditional look, but I also enjoy contemporary art and needs lots of really good lighting, so I stick to that combination. It’s knowing what works for you.” ” If you can, decide on all the room colours before looking for the connecting colours for hallways, stairs and landings,” Burren advises. “Aim for a view from the hall or landing of a range of colours that happily combine, rather than clash, when the doors of the various rooms are left open.”

DESIGNER TIP It’s important to ensure that paint colours you use flow well through the various rooms and corridors. 63

Floor Paint is available in all 132 unmatched paint colours in the Farrow & Ball palette, from bright Charlotte’s Locks

and Arsenic, to strong Black Blue and Down Pipe, and all the neutrals too. Created using only the finest ingredients Floor Paint has an immersive depth of colour while also being robust and durable. Floor Paint is hard-wearing with a classic eggshell finish that can be used on any interior wood or concrete floor, including garages and workshops.

MAKE THE WALLS YOUR OWN

Treasured photos and fabrics can easily and affordably be transformed into striking wallcoverings which tell a story about your life and style

Trunk design wall mural, Photowall. 84

Vintage Jigsaw design, Space Innovation

Photographs are so precious and evoke so special many memories that people are looking at different ways to get them off of their computer and display them

Choosing wallpaper was once a case of flicking through samples, or browsing row after row of patterned rolls in a homeware or DIY store. With wallpaper enjoying a revival, the choice of classic or new designs is certainly vast but there’s another option that could make your walls special - choosing your own images to create unique papers. It’s affordable and easy because one of the most notable wallpaper trends right now is for bespoke designs, with companies using cutting-edge technology to create high-quality wallpaper based on a picture or item you’ve fallen in love with, a compilation of beloved family photos or just one striking holiday snap for a mural. What better use for those beautiful photos which in most cases never graduate to an album and instead spend an eternity stored on a computer or mobile? “Having your photos made into wallpaper is an innovative and lovely way of using them,” says Victoria Wayland-

Smith of Life On A Wall, which turns photo collections into collage-style wallpaper. A choice of three design formats (classic, random and grid) are currently available, starting from £80 per square metre. Creating the paper takes around two to three weeks. Customers simply submit their hi-res photos via the website, and will be sent a proof of the design to approve before it’s printed. “People are taking more photos than they used to and my job is organising people’s photographs for them - primarily into photo-books. The wallpaper concept was a natural extension of this,” says Wayland-Smith. “Photographs are so precious and evoke so special many memories that people are looking at different ways to get them off of their computer and display them, and digital printing gives us so many more opportunities and flexibility than we’ve had in the past.” 85

INTERIORS

Swedish company Photowall also produces unique wallpaper and wall murals. Customers can either upload their own image to the site, or choose from the website’s catalogue, which includes iconic skylines, tropical paradise scenes, maps and much more. Prices vary from £26 to £37 per square metre, and completed wallpaper will usually be shipped to the customer within a week of their order being placed. “The interest in interior design is steadily growing bigger, and so is the desire to have a unique and personal home,” says Ida Gustafsson, marketing spokesperson at Photowall. “We have always wanted to frame our favourite pictures from holidays or of family and pets, and now we can take it a step further and cover a whole wall.”

Travel and holiday snaps are among the most popular photos customers choose to have transformed, as well as treasured

photos of their children and family. Creatively Different takes the service a step further. As well as bespoke wall coverings, clients can have a matching design printed onto blinds. Again, homeowners can select a design from the company’s catalogue, submit their own images, or request a unique design be created for them. Price per paper roll is around £52.80 for customers’ own images, and around £66 when catalogue designs are used. Bespoke wallpaper isn’t all about the modern age of digital photography, though. In fact, for some it’s an opportunity to revisit bygone eras. UK design and print specialist Space Innovation offers a range of bespoke print and wallpaper/murals services, which includes bringing vintage designs back to life. This could be a vintage wallpaper design no longer in production, or the cover of a book, or even the print on a fabric - the possibilities are endless

“’Vintage Jigsaw’ and ‘Favourite Frock’ were both bespoke commissions from a client’s own vintage collection,” says the company’s Georges Icke. “For ‘Kids’ Bathroom’, the client bought a roll of 1950s discontinued wallpaper from a flea market in New York which we digitally reproduced and tidied up before printing five rolls for her own use.” It also has access to a fabric archive from Warner Fabrics which it can use to create wallcoverings ranging from space odysseys with rockets to classic toile de jouy. Costing from £60 per roll for repeating patterns, and £30 per square metre for print-to-fit single images, the whole process takes

around 15-20 working days, and customers can submit requests and specifications entirely online. Being digital design experts, Space Innovation can work with a wide range of design ‘sources’, and spruce up worn and faded images if required. ” Our wallpaper is ‘paste-the-wall’ quality, making for quick, easy and clean installation by any competent DIY-er or decorator,” says Icke. “As the market becomes increasingly digital-savvy and people are looking for something individual and unique, so the inquiries we receive become more creatively varied and interesting. “These have included vintage book covers and pages, blueprints and sporting memorabilia.”

Another supplier, Mr Perswall, has a Nostalgia collection designed to trigger memories as well as a pop design range featuring 20th century style icons including Bridget Bardot, Sean Connery, Bob Dylan and Jackie Onassis. Alternatively, the company can transform old letters, beautiful lace, favourite record sleeves, photos or children’s drawings into a memorable wall covering. It costs from £27 a square metre for paper that you’ve designed with a motif of your own. The company charges extra to scan in a motif. It can also create customised patterns. If you’re looking for inspiration for designs, prints or quirky ideas, a new book, Wallpaper: A Collection of Modern Prints by Charlotte Abrahams (Quadrille, £14.99, available September 12) is bursting with them. It features reproductions of more than 150 papers by established designers and new talents.

AMAZING PLACES. Explore the beautiful mountains, beaches and food on a holiday to Vietnam, a vibrant country that surely must not be missed.

THE CALM AND CHARM OF VIETNAM. Lang Co’s fisherman’s village springs into life before sunrise. The fishermen - and fisherwomen - haul in their overnight bounties astraders set up stalls at the daily morning market.

This part of the world is usually associated with backpackers, young gap-year explorers roughing it in no-frills hostels - but that’s changing. The region is becoming increasingly popular with other groups: honeymooners seeking something a little less predictable as well as families and retired couples looking for a culture-packed adventure. In the last couple of years the launch of direct flights from London to the capital, Hanoi, has made getting there easier, and a number of resort developments mean it’s now perfectly possible to combine five-star comfort with history, culture and authentic Eastern charm. Lang Co, tucked between expanses of paddy fields and jungle on Vietnam’s central coast, is relatively quiet, so visitors here are still a bit of a novelty - though a very welcome one. A short drive from the fishingvillage sits

a stunning stretch of sandy beach which, until a few years ago, was almost completely remote. Now it’s home to the newest addition to the Banyan Tree Hotels & Resorts - Banyan Tree Lang Co and sister hotel Angsana, which opened earlier this year. Getting to Vietnam may have become easier, but it’s still a long journey, so the VIP greeting at Banyan Tree goes down a treat. A large gong chimes to mark my arrival and I’m handed a refreshing drink before checking in (everybody’s a VIP here). Within moments, flight-weariness forgotten, I’m wide-eyed as I take in the surroundings. Anybody familiar with Banyan Tree resorts will know that they’re utterly stunning. There’s not a whiff of pretension and, while some luxury hotels can be slightly intimidating, it’s all about calm and serenity here. Flanked by

thickly-forested hills, there’s something enticingly James Bond-like about the place, with its grey walls and claytiled rooftops and a footbridge - across the river which runs through the resort - leading to the open-air lobby, where the centrepiece is a large square pond with a trickling fountain. The resort is made up of 49 private villas. Guests are whisked to their rooms on golf buggies which can be called for at any time (or you can borrow a bike). I’m travelling alone, which seems a bit of a waste when I clamp eyes on my villa and its huge double bed and his-and-hers bathroom with a giant tub and walk-in shower. I also have my own garden, with a pool, Jacuzzi, daybed, loungers and table and chairs, and a little path and gate leading onto the beach. Though not exclusively for adults, the resort’s clearly been designed for couples.

113

TRAVEL

At night, the river is lit with colourful lanterns and guests can enjoy a romantic boat ride. Romantic dinners can be set up on the beach, or in your villa, though the resort’s restaurants are certainly worth a visit. Ten minutes down the beach, Angsana is the more family-friendly of the two hotels, with rooms ranging from deluxe doubles to a two-bedroom loft suite. There’s also a large golf course and lots of activities, including watersports, a games room and crafts club, for kids and teens. Lang Co is within easy distance of three UNESCO World Heritage Sites - Hue, Hoi An and My Son. Hue is a scenic 1.5-mile drive away. Roads here are in decent condition and relatively safe, with strict speed limits. We pass endless rice paddies, dotted with workers wearing traditional Vietnamese conical hats and the odd water buffalo, grazing happily in the sun. “They deserve a rest 114 they’re the hardest workers in

the field,” our guide Tran jokes. Big blankets of rice are laid out to dry on the roadside, while pink lotus flowers and cemeteries filled with dazzling, ornate graves provide flashes of colour on the journey. Hue city, with a population of 1.3 million, appears surprisingly modern at first, as the farmers’ traditional attire gives way to fashionable skinny jeans and tops. The streets buzz with scooters, carrying young office workers, couples and sometimes entire families. Perfume River separates the more developed south from the city’s north, where the heritage sites are found. The ancient citadel - formerly the Imperial City and home to Vietnam’s Nguyen royal family - suffered severe damage during the war. Though battle scars remain, it’s been beautifully restored and Tran provides a history lesson as our tour group ambles around. A short drive away is the impressive Thien Mu Pagoda.

Built in 1601, at seven storeys high it’s Vietnam’s tallest and has an iconic status among locals. Monks meander peacefully around the grounds while visitors snap away with their cameras. After a morning sightseeing, lunch at nearby Y Thao Garden is the perfect reward. Tourists flock here for the delicious and reasonably-priced traditional fare, including the amusing spring roll peacock (trust me, you won’t regret it!) and the obligatory bowl of Vietnamese pho. Historical Hoi An is perhaps the region’s most popular tourist hotspot, and it’s easy to see why. Again, a river runs through the ancient town, where a picturesque bridge, lined with brightly coloured lanterns, takes centre stage. Lanterns are a key presence in Hoi An, with row upon row of them strung above streets and dangling from shop ceilings. At night, the place dazzles with colour. After exploring the markets, I walked along the

HOUSE Magazine travel expert Moreno Intranova from ‘The Luxury Travel Planner’ talks about his unforgettable trip to the stunning Island of Bora Bora in the South Pacific.. . Moreno has been in the luxury travel industry for over 18 years and has looked after some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry including politicians and heads of major companies. He has worked for some of the finest travel companies in the world, one of which, based in Harrods.

I only ever dreamt of visiting Bora Bora, until an opportunity came up or should I say, an invitation by the Four Seasons Hotel Group to whisk me away on an incredible journey to this amazingly captivating destination. I can only describe this Island as paradise on earth. Pristine waters, natural beauty which surrounds you and the ultimate escape if you are looking for a unique destination. My journey started in Paris in ultimate luxury boarding an Air Tahiti Nui flight to LA in first class, where I spent two leisurely days at the Four Seasons Beverly Wilshire Hotel, off Rodeo Drive. I had my own stretched limousine to explore Hollywood and it’s famous residents! I even had a few hours to spare to visit Macy’s in West Hollywood. I then took the 9 hour flight to Tahiti, where I boarded a local propelled flight to the Island of Bora Bora, to be met by the Four Seasons own private boat and take me to the gorgeous Four Seasons Bora Bora to stay in my very own Over Water Bungalow Suite sitting beautifully on the lagoon. The accommodation was extremely spacious and I had my own decking with steps into the lagoon, where I literally could retreat back into the privacy of my lounge after an afternoon dip. Having my own private butler added to the whole exclusive experience, fantastic cuisine, wines and enjoying my favourite cocktail whilst watching the amazing sunset across the lagoon was just incredible. riverbought and bought a candlelit knowing river and a candlelit Lo- Loenjoy enjoy knowing they’rethey’re eatingeating tus from float a from local schoolgirl locally-sourced food,that and athat a tus float locala schoolgirl locally-sourced food, and onbank. the bank.

This is the perfect honeymoon destination. It is just so romantic and relaxing. There is a fantastic spa nestled at the edge of the lagoon and surrounded by tropical groves with breathtaking views of the South Pacific. On my last day, I was invited on a private yacht for lunch to sail around the lagoon and I had the opportunity to swim with the stingrays and tame sharks.....I wasn’t quite sure at first as I had to conquer my fears, but they assured me it was safe to jump right in!

INTERIORS

MAKE A GRAND ENTRANCE You’re not alone if you walk into your home and your spirits wilt as you’re greeted by a jumble of coats, shoes and bags, as the hallway is generally the most neglected area in the home.

WONDER WALLS A hallway is usually such a small area in a home that you can let loose and try a bold pattern paper or a colour you might be too inhibited to use in a main living area. “Painting walls a bright or darker shade half-way up a wall, dividing with a dado rail if desired, and then using a lighter shade for the upper half of the wall which reaches the ceiling will make a hallway look more spacious,” advises Charlotte Hedeman Gueniau, author of Happy Home. Add impact, she suggests, by removing carpet and painting an entire staircase, and stencil decorative or amusing words on each riser to bring instant character to the space. Be aware this will make stairs noisier though.

WALK THE FLOOR It’s essential to have hard-wearing flooring in a hall - a high traffic area. “Floor tiles come in such a wide range of colours, textures and finishes these days that they’re becoming increasingly popular for halls,” says Claire O’Brien, trend manager for British Ceramic Tile. “Natural stone tiles are an ideal way to create a timeless, opulentlooking hall. For a real statement, combine natural stone with a French pattern design, to emphasise the shade variation of the tiles. “Alternatively, choose a rustic-looking floor tile that can flow through the entire downstairs to achieve a sense of bringing the outdoors in. A muted, organic colour scheme with moulded borders and wood cladding will create a hallway full of warmth and character.” Tiles start from around £22 per square metre.

If members of the family discard their possessions haphazardly as soon as they're through the front door, there's an urgent need for storage that's so easy to use they can't ignore it. "Stopping a trail of belongings littering a hallway can be a thankless task, so the space needs equipping so it's userfriendly," says Clotilde Passalacqua at Ikea. "A cupboard for shoes, a generous amount of hooks or a coat rack, as well as a slim storage unit for hiding away seasonal items such as Wellingtons, hats and gloves as well as sports kit can transform a space."

INTERIORS

SHINE A LIGHT Effective lighting is essential in a hall, which is a functional space where guests are greeted and you make last-minute preparations before leaving the house. “Wall lights are great space savers and perfect for hallways,” says Laura Pagan, co-founder and buying director of lighting specialists Pagazzi. “They generate a welcoming, friendly atmosphere and, spaced apart correctly, they can also create the illusion of a lit pathway. “Wall lights can also be used to high120 light any art or pictures you

HALLWAY DESTINATIONS may have displayed. Picture lights could make a feature of a painting or photos and create a gallery feel to the space.” Make a small hallway appear larger by using uplighter wall brackets, she suggests. These will bounce light onto the ceiling and walls, in turn creating the illusion of a bigger space. A glow of light at the end of a hallway, she advises, will pull the eye towards it and make a space appear longer. This can be done with a statement floor lamp, while table lamps work well on slim console tables.

OUTDOOR LIVING

WHETHER WEATHER IS IMPORTANT TO YOU IT DOESN’T MATTER?

The B200 Outdoor Living® concept is new from Broadview. Enjoy relaxing in your garden all year round with the flexibility of a covered or uncovered outside space you decide. You may want to cover your hot tub or entertain friends by evening in a pleasant ambient atmosphere that a B200 Outdoor Living® system will provide. The B200 Outdoor Living ®provides shelter and can cover small to very large areas thanks to its modular designed frame allowing an unlimited amount of systems to be coupled together side by side. B200 also has a unique louvred open and close slatted roof tilting system so at the touch of a button it can be a waterproof and solid roof one minute, yet completely open the next. Likewise the optional remote control side screens will roll down or up to enclose you fully, partially or to leave

you open to the elements according to the weather as you wish. Even sun and rain sensors can automate this for you. Because there is no glass there is also no cleaning required or the worry of a fallen roof tile or tree debris falling and damaging it. Optional LED light strips can integrate into the aluminium roof slats for evening use along with heaters meaning you are kept warm and dry and even free from insect bites. Installing is really quite simple and our expert team will undertake the whole process for you from start to finish. You may want your B200 to be free standing away from the house or perhaps connected to your house wall, such is the flexibility of the B200 framework that multiple fixation methods allow installation to be quite simple and a complete installation is completed usually in a single day.

ESSENTIAL GUIDE TO...

THE SWEDISH APPROACH TO GARDENING Swedish design goes much further than Ikea, thanks to Swedish garden designers including award-winning Ulf Nordfjell, who is currently preparing for his forthcoming show garden at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. Yet it is possible to bring Swedish design to your own garden, giving it a more contemporary feel with clean lines and good use of symmetry, he says. “Sweden doesn’t really have the same tradition as the UK in terms of its gardening. England has a much richer history with many different styles, ranging from old and traditional to extremely modern,” he explains. “In Sweden we favour clean, simple lines and like to create the feeling of space. Most notably, Swedish gardens must be adaptable to the harsh climate, so we use materials that can cope with that such as granite concrete, timber 132

and steel. “We have extreme winters and long summer days and so have to carefully select plants that can cope with these conditions. In the summer when it stays light until late, you can go out and do your gardening at 3am.” Sharp lines can emphasise any structures in the garden and are unusual as they are so rare in nature. They can also draw the eye to your focal point, he observes. “One way to do this is by pruning hedges. In the Laurent-Perrier garden, I have pruned quercus hedges, which are underlined by low walls of travertine. These draw the attention to the pergola, where there is an elegant water feature.

Water can be a great way to add character to your garden. It adds movement and you can easily build around it You can be creative and choose a sculpture or piece of art for added interest. “Rather than placing it centrally, French gardeners will often place

statues to the side, which creates different areas of interest around the garden.” His favourite British plants include Anemone ‘White Swan’, Iris germanica, stipa grasses and taxus (yew) hedges. His Chelsea show garden will be a contemporary take on a romantic garden, acknowledging the heritage of the family-owned Laurent-Perrier champagne house while incorporating a modern elegance. He has chosen simple materials such as stone, wood and metal, complemented by perennials in a colour palette of soft pinks and blues, as well as creamy oranges, yellows and whites. Perennials will be planted in blocks in different layers, including iris, viola, dianthus, stipa and verbascum in full sun and thalictrum, gillenia, aruncus and anemones in half shade. Gardens in Sweden are very focused on spring, which takes place in April and May in southern Sweden and a couple of weeks from the end of May in the north. There’s another peak of interest in mid-summer, but the focus tends to be on structural design rather

than plants. While there is more interest in perennials these days, Sweden does not enjoy late-flowering plants that are abundant in this country, says Nordfjell. He has been inspired by many British designers, from Vita Sackville-West to Christopher Bradley-Hole, Julie Toll, Andy Sturgeon, Tom Stuart-Smith and Jinny Blom. But among his favourites is the late Ulla Molin, a Swedish designer renowned for introducing modernism in gardening by using strong materials, soft colours and fewer, more selective plants. His own personal favourites for each season, which are easily grown in this country and will add both colour and texture to the garden scene, include Cornus sanguinea ‘Winter Flame’ in winter; Scilla siberica, Helleborus nigra and Fritillaria meleagris ‘Alba’ in spring; Dicentra Formosa ‘Aurora’, Iris sibirica ‘Silver Edge’, Paeonia ‘White Wings’, Rosa moyesii ‘Nevada’ and Phlox paniculata ‘Rosa Pastell’ in summer; and Anemone ‘Honorine Jobert’ and Gentiana makinoi in autumn.

TIP:

BEST OF THE BUNCH CAMELLIA

Camellias can be pruned after flowering to keep the plant tidy or compact, although some have an arching open habit and aren’t improved by pruning.

They have a reputation for being difficult, but most varieties are hardy and if you grow them in a sheltered spot, possibly close to a wall or protected by nearby shrubs, they should give you glossy foliage all year round and beautiful, blousy blooms during the spring, in all shades of pink and some white or red. Grow them in pots in ericaceous compost and they shouldn’t let you down. The common camellia, japonica, produces spectacular single red blooms in mid to late spring and is best in borders, as it grows to an impressive 9m. C. ‘Leonard Messel’ is smaller and ideal for colder gardens on acid soil in a lightly shaded border, where it is not exposed to early morning sun. It should do well in a large pot.

WHAT TO DO THIS WEEK: IN YOUR GARDEN Make the most of the sunny days this June and get out in the garden to tend to your plants and shrubs. The more time we spend early in the year the easier it makes the maintenance in the summer.

THREE WAYS TO... REVIVE YOUR GARDEN AFTER THE LONG WINTER Garden and landscape designer James Alexander-Sinclair, offers the following tips: Make sure that containers and window boxes get enough water. Lawns will be recovering well by now given a bit of warm weather so will need cutting. For the first couple of mowings, keep the blades quite high to avoid scalping he turf. Herbaceous plants will be growing fast, so make sure you have stakes in place now to support them before they get too big.

GOOD ENOUGH TO EAT TOMATOES FROM SEED It may be a while before any of us dare to put out our tomatoes, but now is the time to sow seeds indoors to work to a fruitful harvest later on. Sow seeds now a quarter-inch deep in pots or trays of good, freedraining seed compost and cover with a sprinkling of vermiculite or compost. Ideally containers should be placed in a propagator at a temperature of 1821C until after germination, which usually takes around a week to 10 days. If you don’t have a propagator, cover the pot with cling film and put it in a warm place such as an airing cupboard. When the seedlings are large enough to handle, tease them out of the original pot, holding the tip of the leaves, not the stem, and pot them individually in to 8cm pots. Water well and keep them at 18C for a few days, gradually reducing the temperature to 15C. Turn them regularly if you are growing them on the windowsill so that they grow straight and by the end of May or beginning of June it should be safe to plant them outside. If they outgrow their pots in the meantime, re-pot them into larger ones to prevent a check to growth. Good varieties include ‘Gardener’s Delight’, a cordon variety producing sweet, cherry tomatoes, and ‘Matador’, a cordon beefsteak which should give you plenty of large, tasty tomatoes.

1 2 3

Keep an eye out for slugs and snails, especially after rain showers.

4 5

Sow hardy annual seeds for seasonal colour for later in the year.

Give roses, fruit and veg a dressing of fertiliser. In dry weather use dry feeds, hoeing them into the surface where they will be washed in by watering or rain.

Sow cinerarias now for flower at Christmas and follow on with successional sowings in May and June.

Support peas with plastic green support mesh from the garden centre or use twiggy sticks and prunings from other shrubs in the garden.

Feed blackcurrants, blackberries and hybrid berries with a high-nitrogen feed to give them a welcome boost.

Thin shoots on perennials such as delphiniums, lupins and phlox, removing about one in three or four of the shoots depending on how crowded they are.

Continue to plant summer bulbs including gladiolus, dahlias and cannas.

Protect vulnerable seedlings and plants (such as hostas) with copper rings or sharp grit. Warmer weather equals more weeds. There’s no easy shortcut, you need to get out there and get stuck in.

Daffodils which have been forced can be knocked out of their pots and planted among trees and shrubs to establish themselves for flowering in the open next year.

HOME IMPROVEMENTS

DIY EXPERT

IS YOUR HOME CRACKING UP?

Get those jobs done with a little help from ‘Big Al; our resident DIY expert.

The idea of your home having subsidence is pretty scary, and dry spells like the one we’re currently having make it even more likely. The good news, though, is that it won’t necessarily be as difficult to remedy as you might think. Subsidence is the shrinking and lowering of the earth that your home is built on, which results in the foundations moving and cracks appearing in the building. It’s more of a problem with certain types of soil and with period properties, as they often have shallow foundations. There are several causes of subsidence, but one of the most common is trees. Tree roots can cause movement by growing under the foundations, but even if they’re not that invasive, the roots extract moisture from the soil, causing the ground to contract. Consumer group Which? estimates that around 70% of subsidence is caused by tree roots, which is why you may want to think twice before planting a tree near your home or buying somewhere with a sizeable tree close to it. Pruning or removing the

tree is often the solution, but it can sometimes make the problem worse. Clay soil is another common cause of subsidence. It usually holds a lot of water, but when the water table drops during dry weather, the clay starts to shrink. Hidden mine shafts or bell mines, culverts and pipework, or sandy or gravelly soil can also cause subsidence. Defective drains also mean that leaking water can wash away unstable soil from around a building’s foundations. If you do see cracks in plaster or brickwork, they’re not necessarily a sign of subsidence - cracks can be caused by all sorts of things, and are often nothing to worry about. However, new or expanding cracks wider than 3mm may be caused by subsidence, especially during a dry spell. Cracks that are wider at the top than the bottom and that run diagonally, particu-

larly from window and door frames, can be a sign of subsidence too. A crack that’s on both the interior and exterior of a wall, plus rippling wallpaper can also be evidence of subsidence. If your doors and windows start to stick, it may mean that the building’s moving due to subsidence, although it’s often just harmless seasonal movement. If you think your home is suffering from subsidence, tell your buildings insurer, as they should get an expert to check

it out. It’s often a case of monitoring the situation, which can be a lengthy process lasting months or even years, and drain and geological surveys may be necessary. If you don’t have insurance, or don’t want to involve the insurance company straightaway, get a chartered surveyor to assess the problem. In the worst cases, a structural engineer will also be needed. Assuming it does prove to be subsidence, the insurance should pay for the remedi-

al work (less any excess, of course). Relatively easy solutions can often be found, such as fixing the defective drain or water pipe. If a more radical remedy is required, metal piles can be used to shore up the foundations, but only if the foundations are strong enough. Jet grouting can be used in some situations too. This means injecting chemicals underground to fill gaps and make unstable soil solid. It works well with gravelly soil, for example, but not clay. People associate underpinning with subsidence, but underpinning is actually only necessary in a small proportion of cases - which is just as well because it’s a slow and expensive process. Underpinning basically involves digging pits under the foundations and filling them with concrete, so while it’s a pain to do, your home should be a lot sturdier for it.

PRODUCT OF THE WEEK CLEAN & TIDY Drilling into a stone, block or brick wall creates a big old mess, and sometimes you even have to repaint, but new Sticky Dirt Bags (£3.99 for 10, www.amazon.co.uk) prevent that. Simple but effective, the reusable paper bags stick (they’re low tack) to the wall underneath where you’re drilling and collect the mess, saving you time and effort. There are even measurements on them to help you drill in the right place. One of the worst things about DIY is cleaning up afterwards - but not with these bags. 134

HOW-TO TIP How do you tell the difference between subsidence and settlement? If you live in a new home and see cracks appearing, it’s almost certainly settlement, which is the process of the building materials settling and the ground underneath the building settling and compacting. The house builder should make a return visit to make good these cracks.

There are many uses for gravel in your garden other than just surfacing large areas. Mulching, laying as a pathway, or even creating a focal point with a pair of chairs and table. The real charm of gravel is that it comes in many different forms yet they can all be retailed under the same name. Landscaping gravel can be sold as pea gravel, horticultural grit, decorative gravel, coarse-grade stone chippings, stone aggregate and even shingle. And as it ranges from different source materials so the colours available differ as well. Depending on what application you have in mind and what has already been established within your garden setting so far, why not pop down and see us, you are sure to find a landscaping gravel suitable. Here at Dorset Soils and Aggregates we are always on hand to help with any of our customers questions regarding any of our products, so if in doubt, just shout, we are here to help.

ASK THE GARDEN EXPERT Catherine Morford Nature’s Way For Kids LET THE KIDS RUN WILD THIS SUMMER! With the summer holidays in full swing, why not encourage the kids to get outside and explore. There are plenty of fun activities they can do, introducing them to the natural environment and best of all … they won’t cost the earth!

Have a game of bug bingo. Next time you take the kids to the local park or for a walk in the countryside, challenge them to spot different mini-beasts … worms, caterpillars, butterflies, bees, beetles and spiders are all easy to find. A checklist to mark off their findings will help keep track or download spotter sheets which are readily available online.

Plant a wildlife window box. Nectar-rich plants are a perfect way to attract bees and butterflies into the garden but you don’t necessarily need lots of space. Try planting a window box or container to start, maybe including lavender, dwarf hebe, salvia, thyme and phlox.

Build a bug hotel. Gather some recycled materials to construct a habitat for all sorts of bugs. The more nooks and crannies the better and a variety of items in different shapes and sizes is ideal, such as bricks, wood, bundles of sticks, loose bark, pine cones, terracotta pots and pipes.

Make a bird cake. Combine lots of tempting morsels to treat our feathered friends. Ingredients such as sunflower seeds, dried fruit, bread and mealworms mixed with lard, can then be left to set in a plastic pot and hung outside to feed the birds.

Build a den. Gather fallen branches and twigs, using the longest you can find to make a ‘wigwam’ structure up against a tree. using the smaller branches to fill the gaps. You can decorate the den with fallen leaves and foliage to give more shelter.

Try pond dipping. See what water-dwelling creatures can be found in a local pond or stream, with a fishing net to collect the creatures safely and a half-filled container of water to place them in when taking a closer look. Ensure adult supervision at all times, with safe dipping tips on www.naturedetectives.org.uk

Have a boat race. Collect some natural materials to build a boat, such as bark and twigs secured with string to make the hull and leaves for the sails. Blow through a straw to move the boat along and race against friends.

Go blackberry picking. Hedgerows will be filled with blackberries from the end of August onwards so it’s the perfect time to take the kids on the hunt for the seasonal fruit. Remember to only pick what you’ll use, leaving plenty for others and the local wildlife.

SECURED LOANSA SOLUTION FOR YOU? Looking to buy a new car? Undertake a DIY project? Purchase a Buy To Let property? Don’t want to affect your mortgage and the rate you are on or pay early repayment charges? Think you don’t qualify for more money? A secured loan could be a more appropriate solution than a remortgage, further advance or unsecured loan.

DID YOU KNOW: • Secured Loans are available between £5,000 and £500,000 • You can borrow the extra money over a long term- to age 80 with some lenders! • If you don’t want to sacrifice your low mortgage rate, you can borrow the extra amount separately with a secured lender and keep your mortgage rate with your existing lender • The criteria is different on a secured loan, and you may be able to borrow more than with a traditional mortgage with your existing lender • There are no early repayment charges on secured loans • Interest Only or Repayment options are available • A Secured Loan can be kept separate from the main mortgage and paid off in a shorter time • Some first charge lenders will insist on seeking planning permission/ consent for large building works. Secured loan lenders don’t need this

Please bear in mind that you need to have enough collateral to guarantee the loan, rejections show on your credit report as do missed payments, and interest rates vary. If you think any of the above applies to you, contact Debbie J Boyes for more information on 01202 874 100 today!

You could easily get ÂŁ100 for a birdbath in an auction sale.

IS YOUR GARDEN A GOLD MINE? Tips on how to analyse the worth and value of your old garden junk plus, find out what else needs doing in the garden this week.

137

OUTDOOR LIVING

Before you chuck out your old gardening tools or that urn you inherited from your grandmother, check out their value because Jonty Hearnden, presenter of the BBC1 show Cash In The Attic, says you could be sitting on a goldmine. He reckons you may be able to sell anything from old paving slabs to large concrete urns, ancient tools, aged weathervanes and benches for hundreds - or even thousands - of pounds. People who’ve inherited property or are clearing houses for relatives are the most likely candidates to find an Aladdin’s cave of treasure in the garden. “The most common items that may be lying around are garden urns or statuary of the 20th century, the moulded urns and the moulded figurines and birdbaths which you think are just old and don’t have any value,” he says. “Actually, there’s a very good second hand value for those items because dealers and interior designers like urns which look really weathered. They might only be 20 to 40-yearsold, but there’s a definite market for antique-looking reproduction garden urns and other items.” Such items may be made of concrete, otherwise known as reconstituted stone, and the ones fetching the most money have an 18th or 19th century feel to them, he says. “I went into a shop the other day where there were four identical urns that were 2ft tall by 1ft wide with box bushes in them. They looked a million dollars and they were probably around £400 each.”

138

Birdbaths, weathervanes and other ephemera all have a value, he says. “You could easily get £100 for a bird

bath in an auction sale. It has to be weathered so that it doesn’t look new, which can take a few years.”

people will pay good money for garden edging tiles from the 19th century.

Coalbrookdale garden benches, which are made of highly ornate and Victorian-looking cast iron, are extremely sought-after items which can fetch between £3,000-£6,000, he observes. The 19th century benches are often stamped Coalbrookdale or C-B Dale Co, and the seat is probably made of timber slats. “People may be sitting on a fortune because they just don’t realise how expensive these benches are,” he says.

“The Victorians produced a lot of garden design materials. It was the era of the municipal space where you would have a garden park which was manicured, with flowerbeds, run by the community or local town council. They were very big on gardens.”

There is also a market for old garden tools, desired for their craftsmanship. “Garden tools have a certain value. Don’t just throw them away. There will be somebody out there who wants them because they just love the feel of old wooden handles and cast metalware that’s not made to the same standard today. “Good places to sell those sorts of objects are eBay and car boot sales, as people will often pay between £10-£30 for old, good quality forks and trowels if they look presentable. Expect to get less on eBay. Go for the car boot sale if you’re selling anything under £20.” Also, in a house that is Victorian or older, don’t forget to look down,

Undamaged marble is especially lucrative and will fetch thousands, while urns and ornaments can make the top hundreds. “Where I find people need a lot of guidance is when they’ve inherited properties or are dealing with deceased estates. That’s when people go into the garden and find hidden treasures.” Now, a new website, cashintheattic.com, has been launched to help people value their items. After uploading a few snaps of items to the website, experts will value their worth, charging from £5 per valuation. The site can help visitors research pricing and provenance. Spring and summer are the perfect times to sell garden memorabilia, Hearnden adds. Dealers and salvage companies will buy many gardening items, while there are auc-

tion houses such as Summers Place Auctions in West Sussex, which deal specifically in high end garden statuary. Frost damage will inevitably devalue items which would otherwise fetch a good price, he agrees. “Once ornaments are damaged by frost, they won’t have value. Check for hairline cracks because dealers won’t want to buy items with hairline cracks.” Even paving slabs may be worth selling, he observes. “York paving stone, initially laid municipally for street paving, has all now been taken up and put down into people’s kitchens and interiors or put on people’s patios because they really love the look. “Now, companies make reproduction York paving slabs because it’s so desirable. If you have York stone as a patio you don’t want, there’s probably a buyer for it. There’s usually a salvage man who will want to pay you good money for it and take it away for you, all at the same time.” Even garden gnomes may fetch a price in the future, he adds. Like the William and Kate gnomes at this year’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show.

TIP: BEST OF THE BUNCH FRENCH LAVENDER

French lavender is best grown in welldrained, light soil in a warm position, sheltered from cold winds and frost.

Originating from hot, dry Mediterranean regions, French lavender makes a change from traditional lavender. With its showy bracts above the flower heads, L. stoechas is an aromatic dwarf shrub growing to 60cm tall, with narrow, grey-green leaves and short-stalked, dense, heads of tiny purple flowers surmounted by a tuft of purple bracts. There are also white forms such as ‘Snowman’ and others which combine two colours, such as ‘Pretty Polly’, which has purple flowers with white bracts. It is not fully hardy, but survives well in a sunny corner or against a warm wall, and makes an excellent container plant that can be brought under cover in winter.

WHAT TO DO THIS WEEK: IN YOUR GARDEN Make the most of the sunny days this Summer and get out in the garden to tend to your plants and shrubs.

THREE WAYS TO... PERK UP SHADY PATIO Consider filling a container with shade-tolerant plants including white busy Lizzies, purple heliotropes, nemesia and evergreen lamium.

GOOD ENOUGH TO EAT Brighten up a shady wall with a climbing clematis, many of which are shade tolerant. Try large-flowered hybrids in dappled shade such as C. ‘Hagly Hybrid’, whose pretty pink flowers stay true to their colour until you put them in the sun, or C. alpina, the alpine clematis, with its dainty blue, bell-like flowers. Make the most of architectural specimens which like shade, including hostas and ferns, positioning pots of them around a focal point such as a statue.

CHIVES (ALLIUM SCHOENOPRASUM) These members of the onion family look great in the vegetable patch, or at the front of a flower border, with their pretty purple lollipop flowers. Even if you don’t like the taste of chives you can appreciate them as an ornamental. The flowers make a colourful addition to salads, while the onion-flavoured stems make a great addition snipped into sour cream for a delicious dip or jacket potato filling, or simply added to a salad instead of salad onions. These perennials are generally trouble-free, coming back year after year with no fuss. Plant pot-grown plants out in late spring or summer, water them in and keep them weeded and watered in dry spells. Remove faded flower heads and stalk to keep plants looking tidy through the summer.

Take soft and semi-ripe cuttings using non-flowering shoots of shrubs including hydrangea, spiraea, weigela, honeysuckle, pyracantha and philadelphus, as well as hedging plants

2 3

Sow courgettes, marrows, pumpkins and squashes directly into their growing position

Boost gladioli with a liquid feed every two weeks from now through to the first appearance of the flower

5 6 7 8 9 10

Remove the growing points from early peas which have finished flowering to concentrate energies on pod production

Plant ‘De Caen’ anemone corms under cloches for flowering in the autumn and winter Deadhead border plants that have finished flowering, such as lupins, to prevent them from setting seed and to encourage them to produce a second flush of blooms later in the year Pot up rooted basal cuttings of delphiniums taken last mont Propagate strawberries from the plantlets that form on the runners. Plunge pots of compost into the ground and peg the plantlets down into the pots with bent wire. You can cut them from the main plant when they have rooted well. Continue cutting back rock plants such as alyssum, aubrieta and helianthemum immediately after flowering, before they have had time to set seed Layer low-growing branches of chaenomeles, cotinus and magnolia now for good propagation results layered early in the year constantly moist.

The most popular variety is the purple Allium schoenoprasum but you can also obtain rarer white chives (A. schoenoprasum ‘White Form’) from specialist herb farms. 139

I am half way through my training journey ready to take part in my first full Marathon……the thought of it makes my stomach churn, but there’s no going back now…..I will do this! I’m so excited that we have our first Marathon in our own town and can’t wait to take part and support this event that will raise money for many local and national charities. As well as the strict running programme and eating plan that I am following, regular sports massage is part of my way of life at the moment! A regular sports massage can help a runner’s body no end, to recover from the pains and aches of a lengthy run, and to improve blood supply and flexibility. Whether opting for a massage before or after a

running workout or race, runners will soon feel the benefits of a sports massage, beating running injuries by returning to a pre-exercise bodily state. TOUCH IS THE FIRST SENSE TO DEVELOP IN HUMANS, AND MAY BE THE LAST TO FADE Massage in its numerous forms has been used for centuries. However, recent advances in sport and exercise science have highlighted the potential of sports massage to improve circulation and accelerate recovery from activity and injury. More importantly you don’t need to be a marathon runner to receive these benefits; sports massage can significantly improve the condition of the muscles of any runner, of any level. SPORTS MASSAGE RETURNS MUSCLE FIBRES TO PRE-EXERCISE STATE Simply defined, sports massage encompasses a number of special techniques that involve a skilled therapist working into the tissues and

muscle fibres of a runner’s body so that they are returned to their pre-exercise state. As running is a repetitive activity that stresses the body, numerous problems can occur such as general aches and pains and reduced flexibility. The deep massage, movements improve circulation, remove waste products and improve elasticity. Furthermore, sports massage not only combats physical and physiological problems of runners, but the psychological benefits such as invigoration and reduction of mental tension are of equal benefit. THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 5 MILLION TOUCH RECEPTORS IN OUR SKIN– 3000 IN A FINGER TIP It is important to note that there are times when sports massage is an unsuitable treatment. When running injury first occurs, discomfort and inflammation will be at their greatest and massage should be avoided so that the condition is not made worse.

a Beautiful new career CouRses inClude

This is particularly important when considering undertaking any form of self-massage. All in all, sports massage provides an impressive package of benefits to the runner. It helps keep runners injuryfree, loose, supple and in optimum running condition. Whatever your training level is, Sports Massage should be a regular treatment - time for your body to recover.
