NAOMI HOUSE CHILDREN’S HOSPICE Naomi House Children’s Hospice depends on the kind generosity of individuals and communities in order to survive. Every day they provide essential respite care, emergency care, end of life support and bereavement care to children, young people and their families from central southern England. As a proactive and established local estate agency covering the New Forest, with offices currently in Brockenhurst, Burley and Ringwood the Spencer’s ethos of integrating fully with our local communities and offering support wherever possible remains a priority. With this in mind, we are very excited to take part in the Three Peaks Challenge. Our team will consist of seven climbing members, a support team and two qualified mountain leaders. We aim to climb Scotland’s Ben Nevis, England’s Scafell Pike and Snowdon, in Wales in a 24 hour time slot and around the clock. We aim to raise £5000 for Naomi House and we are working hard to achieve our goal.

Dickens polished nickel bed, ÂŁ7,875, And So To Bed

"When it comes to creating the perfect retreat, you need to make sure it's as snug and as inviting as possible," says Damian Topping at bed specialists, Dreams. "We're demanding far more of this room than ever before, because it's often used as another 'lounge' where we sit and relax, watch television, and generally enjoy private time."Nowadays, we find people have very definite ideas about their style. They've often stayed in hotels and want to replicate a look they've liked, whether it's ultra-traditional, romantic or a sophisticated, 'hotel' style which leans to the contemporary." The bed is usually the largest

piece of furniture in a bedroom and will dominate the space, so care needs to be taken in choosing its scale, design and style. But equally important is making the right decor choice, says colour and design manager at Dulux Rebecca Thompson. "Colour affects our mood and is particularly key in setting this room's atmosphere. While soft neutrals conjure a serene, restful space, that doesn't mean you can't have colour which is so popular in homes currently," she says. "Greens and blues are popular, and I'd favour a rising star in the colour palette, indigo. It's a striking, rich statement shade inspired by dreamy,

ocean landscapes hidden from everyone but deep sea divers. "It tones with warm neutrals or other soothing tones of blue or purple." Get the look with Indigo Night from the Dulux Paint Mixing range, one litre emulsion, ÂŁ14.89. If a makeover's beyond the budget, simply opting for new bedding to welcome winter can be just as effective, advises interiors specialist, Alison Cork. "Good bed linen can totally transform not only the look of your bedroom but also your sleep quality," she says. "A beautiful set of crisp white soft sheets will give a bed an instant lift, and the comfort and texture can help you drift off more comfortably too."

ROMANTIC STYLE

White Bedding, www.matalan.co.uk

Four-poster beds, buttoned headboards and sumptuous fabrics are all key ingredients of a room where indulgence and sensuality rule. "This is a room which is a visual feast and pleases the senses," says Rachael Offer, senior designer at Ashley Wilde, who have a variety of celebrity bed linen brands. "Mix sumptuous faux fur cushions with silky satin and velvet fabrics to create a fullon luxury feel. Little details count as well, from gilded mirrors to glass ornaments which catch the light, and lighting's all important. "Give a soft flattering glow with fairy lights or candles."

BOUDOIR BUYS: The And So To Bed bed collections conjure the elegance and period detail of a grand boudoir. A Victorianstyle Dickens brass bed with polished nickel finish, ¬£7,875 for king size, is an investment piece and potential heirloom. Alternatively, you can feel like a pampered princess as you lie back on a Louvre Bedstead, currently from ¬£999 in the Pied A Terre range, House of Fraser. It's upholstered in buttoned soft velvet with an elegantly scrolled head and foot.

COUNTRY STYLE The essence of country style is pared-back decoration, with the emphasis on texture and quality and natural materials. Decor should be simple with painted or tongue-andgroove panelled walls, or wallpaper featuring nature to help set a rustic scene. "Keep clashing patterns to a minimum and instead layer textured soft furnishings, quilts and cushions to give a snuggly feel," says Damian Topping. "Use a large rug, such as a sheepskin, to add warmth on wooden floorboards or hard floors. Add to the air of informality by using, instead of a bedside table, books stacked in a small tower by the bedside. Opt for functional, practical lights and a few well-chosen prints for the walls. Fussy embellishment has no place in these rooms."

BOUDOIR BUYS: Bare winter trees, depicted on Birch wallpaper, £20 a roll in steel grey, would be a perfect backdrop for a Toronto bed, in oak with leather headboard, £775 for a double.

A KING FIT FOR A QUEEN? When your prince or princess charming drags you kicking and screaming to your local bed store, bored with the spring of your ancient bed poking in their side, you will be faced with lots of choices, one of which is the size of bed or mattress that you buy. Queen size, king size, superking size and even emperor sizes are terms which face you with more options than the queen has residences! When one purchases a new

nest for ones palace boudoir it is a good idea to trade up to a larger bed if it will fit the room. A larger one will obviously give the individual more space to stretch out, be less affected by the movements and weight of their partner and indeed with the larger products, there may well be an option to have one side firmer than the other to combat any weight differences between bed mates.

www.bedsareuzzz.com

HOTEL STYLE For contemporary hotel design invest in neutral bed linen, in crisp cotton and natural fabrics, a quality duvet, and pile up fluffy pillows, says Topping. "A plain decor scheme can be enlivened with a wall of pattern whose colours tie in with the neutral shades on the wall," he says. "Opt, ideally, for a generous sized 14

headboard and streamlined furniture to add subtle but understated style. Overdress the bed, with an abundance of covers, quilts and a runner to create a lavish effect." Minimise clutter, he advises, and enhance the room with soft lighting using sidelighters and dimmers. "This style of room should cocoon you and black-out blinds and inter-

lined curtains will avoid any chinks of light from disturbing your sleep." BOUDOIR BUYS: A Zinc bedstead, from ÂŹÂŁ2,999, from Dreams, upholstered in a metallic weave available in lush tones of taupe, mink, silver, nickel and amethyst, also has a 26-inch TV concealed at the foot.

HARBOURSIDE HOUSE BREATHTAKING WATERFRONT PROPERTY IN A HIGHLY DESIRABLE LOCATION

Arguably the finest position on the preferred North Shore of the now famous Sandbanks Peninsula, Harbourside House is a breathtaking property in so many ways. Believed to have been constructed around the turn of the last Century, Harbourside House is thought to have been one of the first dwellings in this exclusive and now highly desirable coastal location. The current layout offers well presented accommodation. Approached via electric double gates from Panorama Road, a long driveway leads up to the house and the deep frontage provides full seclusion from the road. There are many outstanding and unique features to this home, but without doubt the main attraction is the access from the rear to Poole’s famous natural harbour and the simply breathtaking uninterrupted westerly views across the harbour towards Brownsea Island. The sunset from this location and elevated position has to challenge some of the finest in the world. The design of the house is such that the views are enjoyed from all of the principal areas, including the kitchen/day room, library, drawing room, master bedroom, guest bedroom, “Captain’s Quarters” offices and the multi tiered terracing to the rear. There are also balconies accessed from the guest bedroom, a Juliet balcony from the master bedroom and a front elevation balcony from bedroom three. The property enjoys an enviable elevated position in comparison to nearby properties.

FEATURES • Kitchen/breakfast/day room • Drawing room with sweeping harbour views • Play room/library • Sun lounge • Dining room • Ground floor cloakroom • Utility room • Four bedrooms • Two en-suites • Third bathroom • Separate WC

• Third storey loft room with paddle staircase and further WC • Internal staircase to lower ground floor • Boat room with shower and WC • Harbour view twin office suite • “The Captain’s Quarters” • Covered car port • Garage with electric roller door • Private slipway • Long private jetty • Swimming pool

INTERVIEW

Jackman, who’s talked openly about the fact it was left to his father to raise him and his four siblings when their mother walked out. “I never heard him talk about religion,” says Jackman. “He said once, ‘Religion you talk about means nothing, religion that’s in your actions means everything’.” Though Jackman’s bulked up for a series of action roles, the 6ft 2in star insists Les Miserables was one of the most physically demanding roles he’s ever undertaken - not least because Hooper wanted him to look unrecognisable in the opening scenes. “What you can do on film that you can’t do on stage, obviously, is show the expanse of time and Valjean’s an incredible internal, as well external, transformation,” says Jackman.

Five minutes with... If you’ve been known to lather up and enjoy a good old sing-song in the bathroom, then you’re in good company. “I always sing in the shower,” says a smiling Hugh Jackman. “I sing most days of my life and the shower’s where I spend a good 10 minutes.” He showcases his vocal prowess in the much-anticipated movie adaptation of the long-running musical Les Miserables, playing the story’s protagonist, Jean Valjean. “You follow him for a 20-year span, and throughout that time you see all the ups and downs, the pain and the ecstasy that life brings,” says Jackman, who puts in a tour de force performance as the reformed convict which has already garnered him a Golden Globe nomination. “Valjean’s like a Hamlet; he’s one of those parts that you hope one day you’re going to get to play apart from in your bathroom.” Although best known for his movie roles, notably as X-Men’s Wolverine, Jackman, 44, boasts an impressive theatrical background, having starred in productions such as Sunset Boulevard and Oklahoma. Only recently he performed a oneman show on Broadway. He even got to do a few song and dance numbers at the Academy Awards four years ago. “All the things I’ve done leading up to [Les Miserables] whether it be on stage or in film, I feel came together in this role. It’s the role of a lifetime,” says the Australian native, looking ruggedly handsome in a blue jumper and dark trousers. “I’ve been in musical theatre for a number of years and I’ve done movies for a number of years, so there have been two sides of my career that’s felt slightly schizophrenic,” he explains. “For a long time I’ve wanted to combine the two and I’d dreamt of being in a movie musical.” But the Emmy and Tony-award winning actor didn’t think a big screen adaptation of Les Miserables was possible. “It’s been around 27 years, it’s so iconic and the idea it could be made into a film wasn’t even on my radar,” he says of the production that’s been seen by more than 60 million people in 42 countries and 21 languages. Then Jackman’s agent heard a potential movie was in the pipeline. “Iimmediately rang Cameron [Mackintosh, the theatre producer] 62

He starts as a prisoner filled with hate and even though he’s strong, he’s emaciated with his head shaved and a long beard, so we just went for it and I lost a lot of weight.

Hugh Jackman and said, ‘Oh my God, I’ve got to do this’. “Then I rang Tom Hooper and said, ‘I need a meeting’. I’ve never been so aggressive going for a part,” he says, grinning. The Oscar-winning director, fresh from his success with The King’s Speech, agreed to meet. “I came into the room and I was like, ‘Mate, I’m so excited, I really want to audition for you’, and Tom went, ‘Woah!’” recalls Jackman, laughing. “He hadn’t even signed on [to the film] yet but was thinking about it. “Anyway, I auditioned for him about a month later and the rest is history.” The director has since described Jackman as “a genius at both acting and singing”, but he cringes at the mention of this. “Good actors don’t know that stuff but it’s very kind of him to say that,” says Jackman, who has two adopted children - Oscar, 12 and Ava, seven - with his wife of 16 years, Deborra-Lee Furness. “I’ve certainly learnt from some incredible people. Theatre director Trevor Nunn, who I’ve done two musicals with, really taught me how to make a lyric of a song feel like dialogue, so it’s not just a pretty song any more.” Based on the novel by Victor Hugo

and set against the social and political upheavals of 19th century France, Les Miserables is an epic tale about broken dreams, unrequited love and a timeless testament to the endurance of the human spirit. It begins with prisoner Valjean being released by Javert (Russell Crowe), an officer in charge of the convict workforce who tasks himself with hunting Valjean down when he later breaks his parole and vanishes. There’s the old adage that great actors make other actors look good, so trust me if you’re ever in a movie and you can get Russell opposite you it’s a good thing. Crowe also recommended Jackman as his replacement when he turned down the role of Wolverine. “It was one of the great, most generous acts for me I could imagine,”says Jackman, who looked to his father, Chris, for inspiration in creating Valjean. “My father’s quite a religious man but, like Valjean, wasn’t really religious growing up, and then when he was about 30 had some kind of an epiphany and was converted,” says

Then the story moves on eight years and Valjean’s reinvented himself as a respected mayor and factory owner, which meant Jackman needed to put 15kgs back on. “That bit was fun,” he adds with a grin. Unusually for a movie musical, the cast - which includes Anne Hathaway as factory worker turned prostitute Fantine, Eddie Redmayne as politically-minded student Marius and Amanda Seyfried as Valjean’s ward Cosette - sang live on set. For that reason Hooper insisted on an intense nine-week rehearsal period before the cameras started rolling. “Normally on a film, rehearsals can be a little half-hearted but it wasn’t like that. Tom was literally moving his chair to be three feet away from us and we did a lot of exploring, which made us really focused on set,” says Jackman. “I remember on day one of rehearsals, Russell said, ‘Man this is what you wait for, this is the feeling’, because we knew we were doing something that’s never been done before. It had that frisson in the air.” But while he enjoyed every minute of the experience, he admits he’s never had a role “require more of me, or take as much of an emotional commitment”. It’s why he’d spend quiet evenings indulging in a new found passion for jigsaws, not only to wind down but to preserve his voice. “It’s not a sexy pastime but I really enjoyed it. I’d light a fire, do some pastoral mountain scene and find myself engrossed in it,” he reveals, before adding with a grin: “Not very rock ‘n’ roll, is it!”

“We owned a patch of land beside our house that our twin sons had enjoyed as they were growing up. It was a great space for swings, slides and trampolines, then later for go-karts and basketball. Once our sons left home, it seemed like a lot of work to maintain the area so we contacted Land and Plot Finder. They were friendly and helpful and the money they got for us is helping towards our sons’ university fees. It has also paid for home improvements including a new conservatory.” Mrs and Mrs Johnson If you think you have a plot suited to development, call Land and Plot Finder.

HOME IMPROVEMENTS

10 TIPS TO IMPROVE YOUR HOME With property prices continuing to rise and recent increases in interest rates starting to bite, many homeowners are deciding to stay put rather than move. Here are our top 10 tips to improve your home this year.

CONVERT YOUR LOFT SPACE TO AN ADDITIONAL ROOM One of the most popular ways of adding space, a loft conversion can increase a propertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s value by as much as 20 per cent.

3 116

CONVERT A GARAGE TO AN ADDITIONAL ROOM Converting garages into living space, and is fast becoming the in thing in some metropolitan areas, owing to pressure on space.

ADD AN EXTENSION Provided it is well built and in keeping with the rest of your property, an extension can add significant value. It will almost certainly be an easier (and hence less expensive) option than a basement. For all enquires contact Diamond Home Improvements 01202 733775 | www.diamondhome.co.uk | info@diamondhome.co.uk

FIT DOUBLE GLAZING Double glazing is a must for many potential purchasers. Replacement windows should be in keeping with your home, they can detract from its value otherwise.

UPDATE YOUR KITCHEN Updating your kitchen will certainly add hugely to appeal, provided it is well fitted, of reasonable quality and as timeless as possible in design. For all enquires contact First Class Kitchens of Ferndown 01202 875885 | www.firstclasskitchens.co.uk | sales@firstclasskitchens.co.uk

ADD A BATHROOM Convert a bedroom into a bathroom, rather than building a new bathroom as part of a loft conversion or extension.

INSTALL CENTRAL HEATING Many older homes still lack central heating. Install it and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll make your property more saleable. Be sure to choose an energy-efficient system. For all enquires contact JC Gas Co 01202 723283 | www.jcgas.co.uk

7 9

IMPROVE YOUR BATHROOM Gone are the coloured suites of yesteryear; today, the only colour is white. Avoid fancy taps, lurid tiles and anything gold-plated.

OBTAIN PLANNING PERMISSION A property with planning permission usually commands a higher price than one without, obtaining planning permission, can be a great way of maximising your propertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s value.

10 For all enquires contact Ken Parke Planning 01202 496571 | www.kenparkeplanning.com| info@kppcltd.co.uk

BUILD AN OUT BUILDING An outbuilding, will almost always add value. They offer an excellent alternative to an extension and still add an extra room to your house.

Local Double glaziers We have chosen a selection of local double glazing specialists for you.

Installing double glazing in your home is an expensive commitment to make. However, although it is a lot of money at first glance – with prices between around £2,500 to over £6,000 depending on the size of your home – it can save you money over time. Double glazing works by trapping air between two panes of glass and this results in less heat loss through your windows and better insulation against noise and condensation. When you cut the heat loss through the glass of your windows and doors, you are making a more comfortable environment in your home for you and your family. To save you the trouble of searching for a reliable recommeded double glazier, we bring you the highest rated local businesses to choose from. Checkatrade would like it known that they in no way endorsed the feature that appeared in Issue No 53 of House Magazine called “The Top 8 Local Plumbers” there are many plumbers who are Checkatrade.com

THE WORLD ACCORDING TO GEOFF

I am not entirely sure when it became unfashionable to offer teaspoons in the ‘on trend’ coffee shops that now proliferate in our high streets but it would now appear that this malaise has even spread to the modest backdrop of the Makro Poole café. Instead of a shimmering stainless steel teaspoon, which symbolises our comfortingly British tea drinking heritage, we are expected to make do with an anorexic wooden spatula which has to be whizzed round at approximately the same speed as The Hadron Collider to achieve the same level of beverage turbulence that might be caused by a directionally challenged gnat plunging antenna first into your Cappucino. You are then grievously denied the rapture of scooping up the remaining foam with your teaspoon and are left trying to tease this architecturally feeble residue onto your twig and into a shape approximating a ’Jedward’ hairdo. As this approach fails you are reduced to the only viable option of digit insertion as the means of retrieval which then of course significantly increases the likelihood of you contracting norovirus. Colour me pernickety but what is it with teapots, it seems that every catering establishment I have ever visited has been afflicted with this problem. It’s one purpose in life is to transport it’s cargo from the point of purchase to your table, sit there while infusing for a minute or two, and then discharge it’s contents through the spout and into your waiting cup. Clearly by the time the fluid has reached the exit point on the teapot it has wearied of the whole procedure and instead clings to the outside of the teapot like a hawk on a titmouse, and as this coursing rivulet detaches itself from the mother vessel it throws itself onto the table only to rebound into hundreds of pretty little iridescent amber tea bombs which then alight on to recently purchased foodstuffs, your lap and anyone within a 3 metre radius. Is it really beyond the wit of man to make a bloody teapot that fulfils it’s design remit rather than making the end user look like the victim of a drive by tea bagging. Whilst I am in the zone, why is it that my mobile adjudicates on predictive text that I wish to fire off my message to a religious order, on pressing 6/8/6 I reasonably anticipate the word ’Mum’ to appear first, unhelpfully I get ’Nun’. Have Vodafone mistakenly sold me their special edition ‘ecclesiastical’ version or have those little minxes got round their vows of silence by sending biblical volumes of messages to each other thus promoting ’Nun’ to top predictive spot. One other thing sends my inbuilt Crapometer off the scale is our all pervading culture of small ’c’ celebrity. In what parallel universe should we be aroused by a long forgotten minor ’Z’ list celebrity who is taken from their bedsit and put onto a reality TV show called ’Apron making for beginners’ based in an adult education centre in Ormskirk. But we obviously should be aroused because their airbrushed fizz hogs peer out at us from the pages of our red tops with mind numbing regularity for what seems an eternity, still at least it reduces Harry Styles’s column inches, if you’ll forgive the expression. Mind you it’s an ill wind that blows nobody any good as the saying goes, so there we all were last Thursday the quarry of a perfect storm, a trough of low pressure hacking up the western approaches colliding with a high pressure system whose last sight of land was the frozen glaciers of Iceland. Net result was that at around 4am in Corfe Castle the phone in our bedroom beeped thus signalling that in order to keep the great metropolis of Poole in working order electricity supplies to our little hamlet had been terminated. By mid morning Helen and I were still entombed in our icy bedroom swaddled in the duvet, she sporting a visually stunning Peruvian hat whilst I went for the distressed vagrant look courtesy of my careworn Beanie. Having already frittered away my January and February ’cuddle plus’ vouchers you can imagine my surprise when Helen suggested I could dip into my March allocation as long as I understood that it was purely for the medical necessity of keeping our core temperatures up, Bang Tidy. Henceforth I no longer need to overwhelm Helen with a sustained stream of gifts or impress her with my enduring masculinity when I know that all I need is a favourable arrangement of weather systems to have me reaching for my book of vouchers. Until next time.

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

130

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!

PRODUCT OF THE WEEK QUICK DAM FLOOD SAND BAGS Unfortunately for many of us, it’s been a wet, not a white, Christmas. If your home is at risk of flooding, check out the Quick Dam Flood Sand Bags and Flood Barrier Socks, a new range of lightweight sandless flood-control barriers. Instead of sand, Quick Dams contain a powder that turns into a gel and expands inside the bag when it comes into contact with water. The products are reusable for up to six months and will shrink if the water evaporates and then expand when exposed to water again. The bags cost £59.94 for six, and the barrier is ¬£51.54.

New Year, New Look This is a good time to start thinking about how you’d like to improve your home in the year ahead.

One of the easiest changes to make is to paint a room’s walls, but something so simple can seem daunting when you go into your local DIY store and see the vast array of paints there. A wall colour you don’t like is hard to live with and as there are so many different colours and finishes to choose from, it’s important to try the paint first, preferably applying a little to all four walls so you get the full effect. Printed colour charts aren’t accurate, so don’t rely on them, and the same is true of paint colours viewed online. If you can’t find the perfect colour in the off-the-shelf ranges, try those available on in-store paintmixing machines, where there are thousands of choices. Again, get a tester first to be sure of the colour. Sometimes, only a specialist paint will do. For kitchens and bathrooms, it pays to use kitchen and bathroom paint because, depending on the range, it’s designed to be wipeable and steam, stain and mould resistant. Kitchen and bathroom paints used to have a sheen, but now you can get matt ones, which is a much nicer finish, especially if you have less-than-perfect walls, as matt paint is more forgiving of imperfections. Crown’s kitchen and bathroom range is a good one to use because not only does it include some great colours - I love on-trend Slate Grey (¬£17.98 for 2.5ltr, B&Q) - but it can be used on wood and metal as well as walls, which is really useful. Lots of other specialist paint ranges are available,

including ultra-tough ones for rooms that take a lot of punishment, and chalkboard, metallic and (nice) textured paints. Both Crown and Dulux do feature wall ranges, and Dulux makes a range that’s said to reflect twice as much light as conventional emulsions - Dulux Light & Space (from ¬£22.98 for 2.5ltr, B&Q) - to make rooms feel lighter and brighter. Once you’ve found a paint you like, the next problem is how much to buy. The paint tin will have information on coverage, but it won’t necessarily be accurate, so don’t depend on it. You can use an online paint calculator to work out how much paint you need for a room - these calculators take into account things such as the size of the walls, windows and doors but the amount will differ depending on the paint and the state of the walls. More paint is needed to cover textured wallpaper and lumpy and bumpy walls than smooth, perfect ones. And if the walls are newly plastered, painting them as they are will use up a lot of paint because new plaster is very absorbent - always seal it first with plaster-sealing liquid or watered-down emulsion. You can also use Polycell 3 in 1 Problem Wall Primer (¬£27.49 for 2.5ltr, Homebase), which seals and stabilises absorbent, flaky and powdery walls. If you’re painting over darkcoloured walls with a pale colour, you’ll save time by applying a basecoat emulsion first, which should cover most of the original colour so you

don’t have to do endless coats of topcoat. Basecoat emulsions can also cover hairline cracks, patchiness and stains - Polycell 3 in 1 Basecoat (from ¬£21.98 for 2.5ltr, B&Q) does this - so although they’re not particularly cheap, they can be worth their weight in gold. When buying any paint, it’s obviously better to have too much than not enough - most stores will refund unused tins, although not from paint-mixing machines (unless faulty). Sometimes the same colour can change slightly between batches of paint, especially with paints that use natural pigments, so not buying enough in the first place could be a DIY disaster in the making.

HOW-TO TIP If your bathroom suite is chipped, it can seem beyond repair, but it’s not. Ronseal Kitchen & Bathroom Repair Kit (¬£27.98, B&Q) is made for the job. It consists of repair compound, hardener, sandpaper, touch-up paint and a mixing spatula. I repaired an acrylic bath that had a large piece missing and a chipped porcelain loo, and the touch-up paint blended in perfectly with both, producing a very good finish.

MOTORING

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

ICY DRIVING TIPS The IAM (Institute of Advanced Motorists) has issued advice on driving on snow and ice, with increasingly chilly conditions arriving across the UK, bringing with it the threat of snowfall If staying in the warmth of home is not an option, the IAM offers the following advice on driving safely through this period: 1. Make sure your windows are clear and that you have all-round visibility. 2. Take the time to clear your roof of snow. 3. Get your speed right - not too fast that you risk losing control, but not so slow that you risk losing momentum. 4. Start gently avoiding high revs. Stay in a higher gear for better control and, if it is slippery, in a manual car move off in a higher gear rather than automatically using first. 5. If you find yourself in a skid, the main thing to remember is to take your foot off the pedals and steer - only use the brake if you cannot steer out of trouble.

LIMITED EDITION EVOQUE The Range Rover Evoque is gearing up for spring with the Sicilian Yellow Limited Edition model. Based on the 2013 Evoque Dynamic derivative, the Limited Edition sports a number of unique features. Available in coupé and 5-door, customers can choose from two exterior colour schemes, each one unique to the Limited Edition model and based on a new Black Design Pack. Choices include a Sicilian Yellow exterior body finish with a Black contrast roof, or a Black exterior body finish with a Sicilian Yellow contrast roof and door mirrors. Unique interior finishes include yellow contrast stitching on seats, central storage area, door trims and fascia mid-section, plus an anodised yellow horizontal finish-

er. This limited edition model debuts the Black Design Pack which will be available independently of the Limited Edition from April. The Black Design Pack will be available exclusively on Dynamic models and includes rear sport spoiler, darkened front headlights and fog lamps, black Range Rover lettering, clear rear lamps, 20-inch Gloss Black forged wheels, Santorini Black painted bumper sections and dark exhaust finishers. “The Sicilian Yellow Limited Edition is the perfect opportunity to introduce the Range Rover Evoque into 2013 and build on what is already a tremendous success story. Such a striking colour combination attributes itself to the already unique styling of the Evoque. This, combined with the

release of the Black Design Pack in April, will provide customers with yet more appealing and unique choices,” said John Edwards, Land Rover Global Brand Director. In the UK the Range Rover Evoque is powered by three different powertrain options: Land Rover’s 2.2 litre diesel engine, in SD4 190hp guise, combined with either a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic gearbox and four-wheel drive. The two-wheel drive eD4 is powered by the 150hp TD4 version of the engine combined with a six-speed manual gearbox. The lightweight Land Rover Si4 petrol engine delivers 240hp and is combined with a 6-speed automatic transmission and fourwheel drive.

The combination of its compact dimensions, raised ground clearance, wide wheels and sill guards will enable it to take every aspect of everyday motoring in its stride.

NEW RENAULT CAPTUR Renault has unveiled the Captur, its first urban crossover. It makes its official debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March and will go on sale later in the year. “Renault Captur is a compact, unaggressive crossover which is particularly user-friendly,” says Benoît Bochard of Renault. Captur features a high-up driving position, large boot, and innovative stowage solutions. The standard Catur will have an equipment which includes hands-free entry, hill start assist and rear parking sensors. Also available will be the new, connected, in-dash Renault R-Link touchscreen multimedia tablet, plus a system that comprises of six loudspeakers. 146

The word is out! This is the place to get your freshly made pizza, the dough is made the same day, the taste makes this obvious. Perfect for a quick bite or a full meal this fast food pizza really does beat all competition. No one does quality like Papa Johns. The delivery was quick and the smell was inviting. You can taste the freshness. I believe personal choice when it comes to pizza is a must, that’s why Papa Johns really does do it for me as you can have any topping that you desire placed on a perfectly cooked base. We had chicken pizza, pepperoni pizza, chicken dippers and garlic pizza bread. The pepperoni was generously and evenly spread over the perfectly golden crust, the chicken dippers were cooked perfectly, the chicken pizza was wow, I could not get enough of it and to finish it off the garlic bread was wholesome and delicious. Top notch! They also have great offers available all the time, so you truly do get an all round tastier experience at better value for money.

SWEET POTATO SOUP, POTATO SKINS & COCONUT Ingredients

Method

1.5kg sweet potatoes

Set the oven at 200Â°c/gas 6. Remove four wide strips from one of the potatoes with a vegetable peeler, place them on a baking sheet, then brush with a little oil and season with salt. Bake for 25 minutes or so, until crisp, then remove and set aside. Peel the remaining potatoes,

Rapeseed or groundnut oil A little freshly grated coconut 600ml coconut milk, maybe a little more

152

cut them into large pieces and place in a roasting tin with a little rapeseed or groundnut oil. Season with salt and black pepper. Roast for about an hour, until soft enough to mash. Tip the potatoes into a blender or food processor and reduce to a puree with the coconut

milk, adding enough to bring it to a thick pouring consistency. Put the soup in a pan over a moderate heat and stir gently, checking the seasoning as you go. It should be thick and sweet. Ladle into bowls and place some of the potato skin on top with a spoonful of fresh coconut.

SERVES 2

HAM & CABBAGE FRY UP Ingredients

Method

30g butter

1tbsp demerara sugar

1 onion

A hard, white cabbage: about 800g

4 cloves

250g leftover cooked ham

15 juniper berries

1tbsp balsamic vinegar

A large, sharp apple: about 250g

A small handful of parsley

2tbsp white wine vinegar

Melt the butter in a large, heavybased pan over a low to moderate heat. Peel the onion and thinly slice into rounds, then add it to the butter. Throw in the cloves and the lightly crushed juniper berries (squash them flat with the side of a kitchen knife or in a pestle and mortar) and cover with a lid. Leave to cook, still over a low to moderate heat, with the occasional stir, for 7-10 minutes. The onion should be soft and lightly coloured. Halve, core and thickly slice the apple. There is no need to peel it. Add it to the pan, then pour in the white wine vinegar

and the sugar. Season with salt and pepper. Shred the cabbage, not too finely, add it to the pan and mix lightly with the other ingredients. Cover with a tight lid and leave to soften over a low-ish heat for about 20 minutes. The occasional stir will stop it sticking. Tear or chop the ham into short, thick pieces. They are more satisfying if left large and uneven. Fold them into the cabbage, continue cooking for five minutes, then pour in the balsamic vinegar and toss in the chopped parsley. Pile into a warm dish and serve. 153

COTTONWOOD BOUTIQUE Cottonwood Boutique Hotel East Overcliff Drive, Bournemouth, BH1 3AP 01202 553183

Celebrate Valentine's in Style Valentine's cocktail on arrival A sumptuous 4 course meal with coffee and truffles to finish The Garden Restaurant Romantic Candlelight Dinner will only be available on: Thursday 14th January Friday 15th January Saturday 16th February.

REVIEWED Cottonwood Boutique Hotel Valentine's Menu 18th January 2013

156

With spectacular and breathtaking panoramic sea views the stylishly refurbished intimate 28 bedroom Cottonwood Boutique is the latest word in chic, contemporary decadence. Bournemouth's newest and most exciting hotel is just metres from the cliff-top and a short walk into the town centre. The uber cool Bar Vista with sunny terrace and garden provides contemporary exciting brasserie food all day, whilst the Garden Restaurant offers a refined elegant dining experience based on local fresh ingredients from one of Dorsets leading chefs. Free

parking and wi-fi, modern en suites, complimented by a new stunning refurbishment completed in June 2011 make the Cottonwood Boutique an exceptional venue. With Valentine's Day just around the corner the Cottonwood Hotel is the perfect place to spend the evening with that special someone in your life. The Head Chef has specially designed two exclusive menu's to WOW your tastebuds in the restaurant or maybe you fancy trying to show off your culinary skills at home!

On Friday 18th January we were lucky enough to have had the opportunity to have an exclusive preview of the specially designed Valentine's menu. What a treat. We were warmly greeted with a gorgeous strawberry champagne cocktail, the ideal start to any meal. After a look at the menu I quickly decided on the rose of melon with passion fruit syrup (still keeping up the New Years resolution of trying to be healthy) and Natalie chose the Salmon fishcakes with a Thai style chilli syrup. The melon was beautifully presented and a perfect light starter, I must say I was slightly jealous that I didn't order the fishcakes, they were delicious. The main courses were just as impressive, once again I had the healthy-vegetation option of multi-coloured peppers

with fennel risotto and tomato butter sauce, perfectly cooked, creamy and very enjoyable. Natalie had the star of the show - stuffed chicken breast wrapped in pancetta with a spiced chutney. It tasted as good as it looked, and was accompanied by the most delicious potato fondant. Dessert was a delight as expected and we just about managed to leave room for coffee and hand made chocolate truffles. If you want to celebrate Valentines Day in style then The Cottonwood Boutique is the place to be. We would highly recommend the Cottonwood Boutique Hotel for any occasion. The venue is truly unique and can comfortably cater for all parties whether it's a Wedding for 150 guests or just a romantic weekend away.

THE CUMBERLAND HOTEL The Cumberland Bournemouth is a modern resort style hotel which has achieved Bournemouth’s Highest AA 3 Star Hotel rating this year. They offer good quality, comfortable, 3 star hotel rooms. The standard of the public areas, dining options, facilities and services could be likened to that of a 5 star hotel. The Cumberland Ventana Brasserie was also awarded a double Rosette by the AA and on this reccomendation my partner

and I had the privelidge of spending an evening as their guests. The restaurant has an art deco feel bought into the twenty first century using bold pinks and lavish patterns. The “can do” service was astounding from the start and no question or queiry was to small as we were guided to our table. To start our meal we both opted for duck, one being the crispy duck, bean shoots and watercress served with a sesame and soy dressing, the other being Duck Liver Pâté served with warm rustic bread. both dishes were impressive, well presented and flavoursome which got our taste buds in the mood however the real pièce de résistance was to come. For the main course we opted for the 8oz Fillet steak with pink peppercorn sauce, a grilled flat mushroom, tomato and sweet potato fries and the Cumberland gourmet

burger which consisted of Smoked Streaky Bacon, Dorset Cheddar Cheese, Leaves & Smokey BBQ Sauce, again served with sweet potato fries. These were both exquisite. The fillet tender and cooked to medium perfection and the burger was truly the yummiest burger I have ever eaten. Succulent meat, full of flavour and crispy sweet potato fries seasoned to perfection. And as if that wasn't enough food to fill our bellies, to cleanse the palet we had a trio of Jude’s of Twyford Artisan Ice creams and the Chocolate fondant pudding. Again these were delightful, beautifully presented and the fondant

wonderfully rich - which was a great note to end on being a chocoholic like myself! Overall The Cumberland Ventana Restaurant provided us with a fantastic dining experience, one that we definitely look forward to trying again. What's more is they offer a steak night every Thursday for only £37 for two people including a bottle of House Red Wine and they also provide a 2-4-1 offer Sunday through to Thursday evenings on main courses - both deals too good to miss! We were also let in on another great feature coming to The Cumberland 'Artisan Teas' for a very reasonable

price and thats including cake. There is a specialist tea for what ever mood you are in.

THE KINGS HOTEL The Kings Arms in Christchurch have managed to really pull out all the stops this time, having done lots of food reviews across Dorset over the last 5 years, I have to put my hand on my heart and say with up most honesty, this one has been without a doubt the best. The Kings Arms is a stunning Georgian building in the heart of Dorset - combining a traditional yet stylish Restaurant. Whilst Alex Aitken remains chef patron at The Jetty he is also spending time with the chefs and team at The Kings Arms, Alex has headed up the team re-styling the restaurant menus and cooking philosophy. In a nutshell, he has made something good into something out of this world with a new delicious menu using the best local ingredients. We were treated to the tasting menu, A sharing board of delicious Kings bites. olives, nuts, Breads, dips, cured meat and smoked fish, I loved the idea of sharing the food, the whole experience felt more intimate and the dips and smoked meats tasted like they were always meant to be together. Then we had Alex`s soufflé “Arnold Bennett” this twice baked cheese soufflé with a smoked haddock twist, boom, its a hit, this was to die for, the best food I have tasted for a long long time, it was cooked to perfection and was very popular with everyone. Then came the feast, the Kings “Josper” mixed grill, wow, wow, wow Chicken, steak, sausage, prawns & tomato with fat hand cut chips & sauces. The chicken was perfectly cooked and very juicy as was the steak, the sausages tasted so good and the prawns were amazing, so far this menus was looking like the best either myself or my partner had ever had. Then came dessert, Sweet, cold & creamy desserts to share including Kings brownie, Purbeck ice cream, Nea’s perfect peanut butter parfait, Oh my , just when we thought it could not get any better, it did. I was pretty full by this time, however as soon as I tasted this perfect peanut butter parfait, that was it, we scoffed the lot, pure bliss. All in all the whole experience was 10 out of 10, everything was just right, the setting and feel of the new restaurant, the service and warm welcome by all of the staff, they are all so enthuastic about your experience and now I can see why. The food was the best ever, most of the time when eating out you never get a 10 out of 10 score for everything, on this occasion it was tops marks, every course, every mouthful, every moment could not have been any better, its perfection. Its also only £25 per person I have actually just booked up to go again to take my fiancé out for Valentines we loved it that much. If you are not sure where to take your loved one of Valentines day, look no further, if you have already booked somewhere to take your loved one, cancel 160 it, the Kings is the only place you want to be, fact.

THE

WEST HANTS CLUB

Set up by Malcolm and Tina Barker MalcomTinaBarker 3 years ago. They bring together a 347 Ashley Road Parkstone Poole combined expertise and offer a high BH14 0AR 01202 722 362 standard of service. Their salon is based on the bustling Ashley Road www.malcolmtinabarker.co.uk and offers a warm welcome, chic atmosphere and a friendly professional team. It felt like I had been going there for years. Malcolm specialised in cutting and running their excellent training school while Tina specialises in wedding hair and all aspects of hair colour.

WHAT IT INVOLVES – The salon’s colourist Paige, sat me down and actually asked me what I thought of my hair, and how I would like her to proceed in making it look beautiful, shiny and getting rid of the dark roots. Such a change from just being told what I should do with it! Together, we decided just a T-section of highlights was the way forward, and at the stylists suggestion we decided to colour my mane with some lowlights and highlights. This was a great idea, as always having a full head of high lights is not the best for your hair, its great to break it up with just a smaller section once in a while. Whilst I waited I was looked after perfectly, plenty of coffee and I was able to catch up on some work as the salon has set up wifi for their customers. Once all the foil was removed I had a much needed hair treatment by Affinage and then my hair was straightened and styled until I looked like a different person. The once mass of big hair was now shiny and sleek.

THE VERDICT – What a transformation! My hair felt more light and bouncy than it’s ever been. The colour looked natural and vibrant. I will return, after such a great experience and beautiful result I am now a convert. It shows that it is worth looking at other salons. All us ladies feel safe going to the salon we have been to for years, but my experience at MalcolmTinaBarker shows that a change can be surprisingly good....

Post Party season pick me ups The parties are over, the festive period has come to a close and you need to step away from the Quality Street. Another Christmas is over and if like me you’ve been overindulging a little too much, your body and face might be showing it. Don’t let your beauty routine slip - with the New Year finally here, we want to start as we mean to go on. At this time of year, as I pingpong between cold winds and hot radiators, my face gets dry and tight and needs extra assistance to stop it looking lifeless. Rich moisturiser is useful, but until you remove the dead, flaky skin, all cream will do is paste it down, prolonging the problem and making fine lines look worse. I’m a huge fan of smooth peel like products that use natural acids or enzymes to smooth the skin. They’re easier to use, not scratchy, more quickly removed and don’t get stuck in your eyes as you attempt to rinse. Peels make skin brighter, less lined, and more vibrant. Application techniques vary, but a little tingling is normal and not cause for concern. A high SPF in the following weeks is crucial (new skin will be more prone to sun damage).

Nothing beats that smooth fresh feeling of your skin after a peel, skin care products are able to absorb better into your skin as they are not fighting against that dry barrier build up and your foundation will glide onto your skin, looking radiant all day. Skin Peels are a must have in salon beauty treatment. An experienced therapist will be able to recommend a course of treatments suitable for your skin type followed by regular maintenance sessions. I especially like the Agera skin peel…The revolutionary effective peels created by Agera® are non-irritating, pain free and cause no down time from skin shedding,

redness or irritation. These unique treatments cause significant stimulation of the fibroblasts deep within the skin to produce new collagen and elastin. This effect on the skin’s cells delivers many anti-ageing benefits without any unsightly redness. After only one session, the skin will look clearer, smoother and brighter. Powerful antioxidants protect against free radical damage, while retinols of varying strengths smooth away fine lines and wrinkles. Growth Factor Peptides, available exclusively in Agera , help to control the skin’s internal ageing process while restoring and maintaining its thickness and resilience.

SKIN FACTS The skin is the largest organ in the body and weighs 12 – 15% of the total body weight. The average human being has 21 sq. ft. of skin and about 300 million skin cells. The skin is constantly renewing itself from the bottom up and takes 52 – 77 days to shed cells.
